Transcription
Fol. 156 You will perceive by Dr Bonetiers letter ye the Bishop of Chichester is as ill as a man can be. I hope therefore you will not refuse to go down to him at Chichester. I have therefore order’d a coach to attend you att which hour you shall appoint though I fear much fear all will be to no purpose, yett I should never forgive myself if everything was not done for him that was possible. I hope you will be so kind as to go upon … as presently you can, for there is certainly no time to loose. Your favour and care of this poor man will … yr greatest obligation… [P.S.] I desire you will write to me, when you have seen ye Bishop.
