AS for Dr. Wilson, I know not what I should say; but I pray God endue him with charity. Neither he nor any of his countrymen, did ever love me, since I did inveigh against their factions, and partiality in Cambridge. Before that, who was more favoured of him than I? That is the bile that may not be touched, &c.
A certain friend showed me, that Dr. Wilson is gone now into his country, about Beverly, in Holderness, and from thence he will go a journey through' York-shire, Lancashire, Cheshire, and so from thence to Bristol. What he intended by this progress, God knoweth, and not I. If he come to Bristol, I shall hear, &c.

AS for Hubberdin (no doubt) he is a man of no ⟨p. 846⟩great learning, nor yet of stable wit. He is here Servus Hominum; for he will preach whatsoever the bishops will bid him preach. Verily in my mind they are more to be blamed than he. He doth magnify the pope more than enough. As for our Saviour Christ and christian kings, they are little beholding to him. No doubt he did miss the cushion in many things. However, they that did send him, men think, will defend him; I pray God amend him and them both. They would fain make matter against me, intending so either to deliver him by me, or else to rid us both together, and so they would think him well bestowed, &c.
