father is still in that humer of offering you
more wifes; but as for this; shee hathe a greate
porshone; wich I thinke if I hade; hee would
not so much misslke of mee as hee dothe; and
besides shee is honorabell wich dothe goe fare
with most men nowe daves; but I protest I
writ not this out of any mistrust I haue
of your loue; for I haue euer found it more then
I haue desserued;-yett I know not what shall
deserue; and thus with my best wishes; for your
good fortune; and happⁿes in all your bussines
I rest euer -
