I hope my last by John
Tayler came Safe to you. What you
desired of our friend Jo:John D—[ow]n-[i]e you
have inclosedenclosed &and in his own hand writ;
I wish these Accounts may serve your
purpose in any measure. There is,
we see as advertised in the Eng:English prints,
a History of the like nature, lately
publish’dpublished at London, &and recommended
by a specious Title page. If you
have seen it, let me have your
thoughts of it: For if it goes upon
hearsay Stories, as I suspect, or be
otherwise defective ^in answering the right &and true
Design of Such a work; I’leI’ll endea-
vour to disswadedissuade some Friends, as
I have hitherto done, from calling
for it, till, I hope, a better penny-
worth (wherofwhereof I have given some
general remote hints) comes in their
way, &and which I have told them, may
be soon expected. I was affected with
the Accounts of honest Pal-[i]nu-[r]us
Death by the last news papernewspaper. His Chief, 1410 (1410)
Chief, I’m affraidafraid, will go wtwith less ho-
nour, &and less Lamented, to his Grave.
