IN writing again ye have done me an unspeakable pleasure,1 and I pray that the Lord may requite it you in that day. For I have received great comfort at your words: but yet I am not so filled withal, but that I thirst much more now then before to drink more of that cup of yours, wherein ye mingle unto me profitable with pleasant. I pray you good father let me have one draught more to comfort my stomach. For surely except the Lord assist me with his gracious aid, in the time of his service, I know I shall play but the part of a white livered knight. But truly my trust is in him, that in mine infirmity he should try himself strong, and that he can make the Coward in his cause to fight like a man.
