The times are intruthe muche distracted, but I am sorry Mr Commenius hathe &dothe finde soe little contente heere;
I understand not what you write concerninge Mr Dury yf the place you mention be with the Lady Mary beyond sea, his resolution then (as I remember) is changed since since I say sawe you; yf heere in Englande, I conceiue then (rebus sic stantibus) it will be noe right to him or his wishes, all things [left margin, on to
[13/6B]
] nowe passinge by the parliamente; But Mr Dury vnderstands himselfe; I pray presente my beste respectes vnto him; For the man I haue formerly mentioned that hathe 18000.l to bestowe, hee liues within 7: miles of London, but I may perhaps haue shortly an occasion to speake with him, thowgh the grownde of a fowndation which (I am confidente will not faile, is the parliamente, bribed by the laste &leaste parte of correspondence; but this way
my mony will be ra ready by the firste I am ashamed to mention it soe often; I rest
