And because it is a matter of bargayne and cannot well be concluded but by mutuall communication, they are both desirous to make a voiage unto me. In which respect, least their passing beyonde the Seas, should turne to their prejudice, I am to pray your L. to give them the charge of carrieng hether the next packet, either from her Majestie or from my LL of the Councel. Yow shall bestowe in so doing a singular favor upon us, and for the good meaning /demeanor/ of the gentlemen, because I knowe them very inwardly, I will pawne my Credit in their behalf, as farre as your L. shalbe pleased to accept it. And so I take my humble leave // from the Haegh Juny Anno 90 Your L. most humbly bounden Tho. Bodley
