HOLLAND, I for my part do wish well unto thee, and the more for thy frie•d's sake. And as Dr. Standish telleth me, you and he were born in one parish, and he knoweth your father to be a very honest catholic gentleman: and Mr. Doctor told me that he talked with you a year ago; and found you very wilfully addicted to your own conceit. Divers of the city also have showed me of you, that you have been a great procurer of men's servants to be of your religion, and come to your congregations; but since you be now in the danger of the law, I would wish you to act the wise man's part: so shall you not want any favour I can do or procure for you, both for your own sake, and also for your friends, who are men of worship and credit, and wish you well, and by my troth, Roger, so do I.

THEN said Mr. Eglestone, a gentleman of Lancashire, and near kinsman to Roger, being there present, I thank your good lordship; your honour meaneth good unto my cousin, I beseech God he have the grace to follow your counsel.
