But because some Poyntes in my last lettres I swalowed at my first Comming at others reports, which since I fynd vayne and friuolous, and others perhaps are yet vnresolued in my Generall discourse, I will runn ouer the Materiall Poyntes with breuitye. For I extreamly desier that you once vnderstood the Constitution of this trade, how to gouerne and settle it ; that by varietye of fond opinions you bee not councelled to vnnecessary Chardge, nor fall into grosse errors and damage. But first I desire you to receiue in Particular answer of your lettre that the vnkindnes conceiued betweene mee and Captain Keeling was not so far rooted that it was woorth your trouble or excuse. It is true I wrote to my Honorable frend somwhat that passd betweene vs. I did only dischardge my hart, without Purpose to haue it spread as a Complaynt ; his fauour to mee extended it beyond my meaning. Men cannot liue without some distast, especially wher fawners and flatterers seeke to endeare themselues by others disquiett. - [Previous: 24.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.24.1.1) - [Next: 24.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.24.1.3) - [Up: 24.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.24.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.24.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.24.1.2) · Pramāṇa
