Sir_/

This being an unusual day with me to write into England, is only to let you know, that I receiued just now your last without date, but following immediately vpon that of the 29. August. I shall not answer it now, but differre that till the my ordinary writing day: The chief cause of sending this being to intreat you, that you would please to send me with all speede, if it be fit to be sent in a letter, the Title page of that newsbook <called> The nativity of the late king etc.    Monsieur Bullialdus is not yet at liberty to think upon the Horoscope, you haue recommended unto me. As soon he shall haue declared me his thoughts, they shall be yours, if God will. I pray, let myLady Ranelagh know, that I am informed now, Mr Dormer hath left the books behind, which troubleth me much, because it maketh me appear false to some correspondents of mine in the furthermost parts of France, Whom I had assured of them before this time, upon the hearing, they will were deliuered to one, that was coming hither.   I heare, they are left with Mr Dormers niece in London. The rest you will haue by the Saturdays post from him, who is very affectionately

                             yours
