Transcription
[fol. 130] Honoured Sir I had long ago done myself the honour of returning you my thanks for the benefits i have reapd from your particular recommendation to Professor Boerhaave, could I have met with any thing worthy your notice. My good friend Dr Stephens will deliver you a Latin trans-lation of Lewenhock’s last volume, and a treatise of Mr Vaillant’s; knowing how much the whole learned world appeals to your judgement I am afraid they have already reached you, if not, I shall think myself happy. Give me leave, Sir, to congratulate you on yr honour which in you his Majesty has done this whole faculty. Solomon’s Panegyrick in holy writt, and Sir Hannes Sloane’s patent will be a proof, to all ages how much this wisest of princes have esteemd their greatest Physicians. I am with this profoundest respect Sir Your very much obliged and truly humble servant F. Reynardson
Franciscus Reynardson was a physician. He graduated from Leiden University in 1714 (Edward Peacock, Index to English Speaking Students Who Have Graduated at Leyden University (London: Longmans, Green and Co, 1883), 83).
