RapLi. )()hn Dee, thott haji jpokj-n already of a very good courfe to fnd them away^ nor all
at once but fo"e at one t!7»e, and font e at another, and God ffjal! andwill giv.' thee good
J-hn Ton- fuccef th rein: andlet thy friend John PontoySj let him provide fur all fitch furfofes., and fo

A. A^ I Ivave been heretofore hindred of many of good purpofes fulfilling, fo perchance
the K.in^ will nor be vvilHng novv to grant me licence to pais over i'ea.
Ra ph. He Jhall and will gr.m' thee licence.
6. s. For my Son Ar.hiir, do to hishelp and comfort in his intended travel.
Rapli. U th) Son do bk:' ^is courfe to travel, he fl. all m the mean while do well, for thy fak^',
heinz a father unto hi-y,God will favour Hni. And when thou art in Jlace where God harh comnti^Hded
thee to g ,in ihoit ruvie after thy being iherc^thou Jl.alt he able to dohimgo' d^in h::![/.
iH'S, htm for fiich things m h: now wanteth, and then thou Jhalt tak^ him near unto thee, fo that
he may have a comfort of t^y fatherly help, andthou to have comfort of his well-doing: and fo
for this I have certified thee.
7. ^. Shall not I at any time return hither into Engl.tnd again t
Pvaph. 1 hou jhalt he better able in health and jtrength of thy body to come into England a~
gain, it thou wilt : but thou fl^alc fee and perceive thy felf fo mercifully provided fr, t'-'ut
thou wilt have but little minde or willingnef to come into England again, fucb pall Gods great
mercies be towards thee.
A. Then I perceive that I fhall not make any great account of keeping my hoiifc at
Mortlak^ for any my return hither.
Mr. Ecclejlon his Cafe of his money taken away by one Thomiu Welficr, &c.
Raph. Thoii dcjl taf{e an hard matter in hand. This man Thovm W^h&cr had it, anli
hath it in his keeping as yet, but he will not yield that he hath it. And for Eccleiton to
deal by extremities with him, he jhall prtvatl little, he Jhall not thereby obtain his purpjfe. But
by friendly dealing with the farty, and in proffering hint to be a partaker with him, he mjy
yield unto Ecclefton. But otherwife^ the matter will grow hard. I would from God advife
thee, John Dee, to enter as few of thefe matters as may be, for this will not be compnffed, ex~
cept that he jhall proceed into the m^s houfe according unto Law ; tnd then he jhall entangle
into trouble, and for the thing never the better : but, as I have faid, by friendly deal-
hinifdf
ing he way yield, and fo far forth as it jhall pleafe God^ I will work by Gods favour to
make him yield. And thus much J have faid, and let it fuffice.
It doth remain as yet in a Coffer that is fomewhat of a white colour, hut he will, if he he
ftirred he will then remove it, and hide it in the ground in a little Parlour that he hath. And fo
I have fpokfn and anfwered thee at this time, as concerning
A. Money 1 had lent mcfrom the Emperour by HansBiK- I marvel that it is not yet
come hithei.
Raph. For that, John Pontoys will maks known unto thee, all to thy good. And in
whofe Name,and in his whofe Power I came, fo now again I return to that place,to the which in his
mercies bring all hit hlejfed Creatures, yielding all honour and praife unto his holy Name, I
end. Amen, Amtn.
A- Amen.
