5461. Aan Laerd Erner. (K.A.)

My cosen Erners⁴⁾ extreame long patience is come to an end. Seeing her husband hath no mind to seeke her, where one day he was glad and not unhappie to have found her, she is fayne to follow him where he ought to have carryed her, after he hath got his libertie, and no pretext was left him for this strange and not verie Christian desertion of a wel borne gentlewomen, who was never guiltie of any misdemeanour against him. I hope, Sir, your natural wisdom will make you overrule your sonnes conscience, which once at last should be touched of what his poore lady hath suffered by him. It is time indeed, they and their poore children should meet againe, and make an end of these shamefull distractions. I doe heartily intreate you to bring all what is possible and reasonable to so good and charitable a worke, so that the Lords blessing may be drawen upon both your families, and we all have occasion to give you thankes and praise for it. It will be an obligation unto which I shall thinke myself bound very specially, as being without that ..... 10 March 1656.
