Worthy Sir.
     You much engage me by these fauours. God allmighty giue a prosperous isue to those great works agitated beyond the seas; tell me I pray by mr Cudworth, what heard you lately of mr Comenius doe his works goe forward? I long to see that [Greek: pansophia], which I yet ne're heard of, but in a bare Idea.    is there no hopes that things may yet goe well heere? What, must all the world be inuited to be spectators at One of our playes, which will cost England aboue a milion? I hope not. Yet I feare. Only my comfort is, when they are most proud, God is then above them.
Will you neuer finde out some was in which I may shew my self to be
                Sr.
                            Your most affectionate
                                 Seruant. Iohn Sadl
