Salutem in Christo

My very Good Lord

I perceave by bringing your sonne into an Office soe neare mee, I have brought a Blabb into my house. For I cannot have a Horse dye, but he gives knowledge of itt to your Lordshipp and then by and by you send mee another. I am very glad you are soe well furnisht; but I would not have you empty your owne Stable to fill myne; Especially att this tyme, when you must have use of a good one your selfe to come upp, and when you are here, to ride to Parliament. Howsoever, I hope I shall see you shortly; and then I will thanke you for your Kindenes; and shall bee able to spare you this Horse which you have given mee for you to ride to Parliament if you please to save the Charges of bringing upp another. How you are fitted for a Lodging when you come, I know not. Butt here is a Neighbours House of myne at Lambeth, very Convenient, which you may have wholly to your selfe if you will. And I pray send mee word with as much speede as you can whether you like it or noe; for itt will cost you little, and you may goe over the water with mee in my Barge. Soe to Gods blessed protection I leave you and rest

Your Lordships very Loving friend and Brother
