*A Letter of M. Robert Glouer, to the Maior of Couentry and his brethren.
I Beseech you to understand, that it is not unknown as well to the Keeper of the Gaole,1 as to the inhabitants about me where I dwell, that I am a man subject to very great sickness, and have been by the space of seven years and more, so that it is not like that I shall be removed without peril and danger of life. And because I was here committed to Ward by your appointment, I would gladly here answer to such things as should be laid to my charge. If I may obtain this of you, I have cause thankfully to reknowledge your indifferency: if otherwise, I pray God it be not laid to your charge at the great day, where every man shall have just judgement without respect of person. Your prisoner in the Lord, always mindful of you in my poor prayer. Rob. Glover.
