Dearest
ffather) I haue receaued your kind, and fatherly letter: kinde in that there=
by you aduertise me of thinkges necessarie for maintenance which I was to receaue,
and according to your letter haue receaued; fatherly in that you by a fatherly
admonition command a reformation of a thinge amisse, to witt, the forme of my
writing, which if I had knowen before I coulde easilye haue alt^ered, and hence
forth will daylie showe that I can easily change it, nether will I thereby any
more showe a barren invention. Thus feareing lest with my prolixitie I may molest,
your more serious cogitations, or incurre your displeasure, giueing you hartie thankes
for that I haue at this time receaued, & with the rememberance of my humble
dutie vnto you, I humblie take my leaue, and rest.

Oxoniensis the 22th
of Aprill. 1622:/
Your dutifull and obedient
sonne. William Bagot./
