westin, brev från john durie

willing; this much I will speake freely, yrt if these forces w:ch
Ban-neer hath now Gotten doe some notable exploit or gette any
victories y:t I am fully persuaded they will accept of the ouverture
made of the treaties of Peace by the Emperours Ambassador at
Lubeck; & perhaps from a truce they will come further it that fall
out; but this is only a Coniecture of mine for w:ch I suppose 1
haue a ground sufficient from a certain Discourse of him y:t hath
power & perhaps is not unwilling to bring the matter so to passe

my Charges or to transport my self; I hope yow will giue me leaue
to Charge upon yow an Hundreth R. Doll. to bee payed at
Hamburg. Thus I take my leaue & rest

I thanke God I have beene sick, I thanke him alsoe that I
am recovered, for my sicknesse hath not beene without some profitt
to my worke, & I hope that my recovery shall now advance it
further.
Your advertisement concerning Sr Thomas his desire that I
should come to him hath perplexed me a long while & hath helped
perhaps vnto my disease somewhat, But God hath now brought me
