Well beloved in Christ our saviour, we all with one hart wish to you,1 with all those that love God in deed and truth, grace, and health, and especially to our dearly beloved companions which are in Christs cause, and the cause both of their brethren and of their own salvation, to put their neck willingly under the yoke of Christs cross. How joyful it was to us to hear the report of Doctor Taylor and of his godly confession. &c. I ensure you, it is hard for me to express.
