So that I cannot abstaine from expressinge it unto you by my pen in absence, which my tounge and mouthe I hope shal shortely declare unto you in presence. And then I doute not, but I shal have just causeto prayse God for you, and to thincke my selfe happy, that in my olde age I shal injoye the familiar company of so virtuous and loving a daughter; and passé the residue of my daies in peace and quietnes. For I have hertherto had greate cause to magnifie his holy name for his loving kindness & mercy shewed unto mee in my children, and in those to whom they have been maried; that bothe I have always deerly loved and affected them, and they also most loveingly and dutifully have used mee. And therefore I assure you (good Mistress Margaret) that whatsoever love and kindness you shal vouchsafe to shewe hereafter unto mee, I wil not only requite it with the like, but also to the utter most of my power redouble the same. And for that I woulde fayne make it a little parte of your faith to believe, that you shal be happye in matchinge with my soonne, I doe here faithfully promise for him (in the presence of Almighty God) that he will always be amost kinde and lovinge husbande unto you, and a provident stuarde for you and yours during his lyfe, and also after his deathe. Thus with my harty comemdacions to your selfe, and to the good Lady your deere mother, confirminge my true Love and promise unto you, by a token of a smale value, but of a pure substance, which I sende by this trusty bearer, I doe leave you to ye protection of the most mighty Trinitye. This last of Marche 1618. Your assured frende
