Certainly Sir, among all those Worthies who have been engaged in these Battles of the Lord of Hosts now in these latter days, there is none that have seen more of God, then your self have done; and without flattery I speak it, I verily believe none have observed God more in the passages of his providence then your self. This, as it hath been your wisdom, and a Perspective glass to discover the love of God to you, for whoso is wise, 1and will observe these things even they shall understand the loving kindness of the Lord, So Sir, let it be both an encouragement, and engagement, to carry you on in this Service, with invincible courage, and resolution.
