LETTER XXVIII. [Of the Love of Christ.] To his most endeared Friends, the servants of God in Taunton, Salvation.
Most dearly Beloved,
Methinks my Breasts are not easy, unless I do let them forth unto you. Methinks there is something still to do, and my Weeks work is not ended, unless I have given my Soul vent, and imparted something to the Beloved flock ⟨p. 90⟩that I have left behind And Oh, that my Letters in my absence might be useful to you! Assuredly it is my joy to serve you, and my love to you is without dissimulation: witness my twice lost liberties, and my impaired health, all which I might have preserved, had it not been for my readiness to minister to you.
