           The
           enemy
           though
           their
           numbers
           be
           very
           great
           ,
           even
           beyond
           beliefe
           ,
           yet
           their
           hearts
           begin
           to
           faint
           ,
           and
           I
           beleeve
           they
           repent
           their
           furious
           madnesse

           this
           Letter
           to
           him

           I
           would
           have
           written
           to
           him
           ,
           but
           that
           I
           thought
           he
           was
           at
           
             Chester
             ,
          
           or
           on
           his
           way
           thither
           ;
           By
           the
           next
           he
           shall
           heare
           from
           me
           at

           and
           I
           shall
           likewise
           trouble
           you
           .
        
         
           I
           must
           now
           only
           tell
           you
           ,
           that
           I
           thanke
           you
           for
           your

           things
           which
           concerne
           me
           ,
