Your love in that you were pleased to signify first your kind and respective acceptance of our Letter, and now also to send us an answer thereto, we acknowledge it with all thankfulness, and shall endeavour (through the grace of God) to return like affection in truth of heart, if in measure we fall short. Of your respect to us in particular, we make no question, your expressions are beyond that we could expect, as also what we dare own. But we humbly beseech the Lord to direct, uphold, and ⟨image 6⟩guide us, that in some measure we may walk worthy of our vocation, and approve our selves faithful to your consciences.
