CHAPTER II
43/279

With which kind of cattle as I too happen to have a warfare, Calandrini has but acted with his usual courtesy, and in accordance with my own sentiment, in signifying to you that it would be very gratifying to me if you lent me your help against a common adversary.

This you have most obligingly done in this very letter, part of which, with the author's name not mentioned, I have not hesitated, trusting in your regard for me, to insert by way of evidence in my forthcoming _Defensio_ [in reply to More's _Fides Publica_].

This book, as soon as it is published, I will direct to be sent to you, if there is any one to whose care I may rightly entrust it.

Any letters you may intend for me, meanwhile, you will not, I think, be unsafe if you send under cover to Turretin of Geneva, now staying in London, whose brother in Geneva you know; through whom as this of mine will reach you most conveniently, so will yours reach me.

For the rest I would assure you that you have won a high place in my esteem, and that I particularly wish to be loved by you yet more.
Westminster: March 24, 1654-5.[1] [Footnote 1: Epist.Fam.
