[fol. 247] Worthy S’r I presume to desire ye favour of Your, sometime or other to day or to morrow to Vouchsafe to call in upon S’r Your very humble servant Robert South Westm’r Abbey 24 Aprill 1714

South was a prominent clergyman and theologian. The political and religious tumult that took place during his lifetime gave him an ample supply of issues to take up in the public arena (Burke Griggs, South, Robert (16341716), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/26048, accessed 14 June 2011]).
