my Reverend Good S^r, since the receit of your last, wherin yow sent me the duplicate of bianchettes Letter, I [word deleted] have written unto yow thereof by your meane att bruxels, which I trust will come to your handes. m^r farington and the rest have ben with me of Late. I have shewed them all. they tell me your wauntes shalbe better supplied, but will not have yow returne in any case. I cannot yet gett them to take any thought for sendinge either money or Letters, but are content to Lett that burden still rest upon me. wherin surely I will do to my power, but I dare not give yow my worde for an absolute performance thereof, your six pound to m^r heath I have alredie paid by meanes of will[ia]m cape; and now father preston and m^r vincent beinge in prison, I have sent them vi^h xiii^s iiii^d yf they will take it, for dischardge of our Letters sent by mere helpe. I told my brethren thereof, but they made me no answere how I should be repaied againe. the imprisonment of the two foresaid frendes wilbe a great hinderance. I dare not come at London, because the bishops send out there pursivantes in such nomber that no man can escape, the tyme was never so hard in that respect, but that the Lower house standeth so stifly upon it, it is thought the kinge wold have all the penal Lawes against us in his owne handes, yow shall heare from our brethren as shortly as may be. yt greveth them that thinges go as they do.
