Seite 205 - I shall need any assistance in the performance of my place (though for my part I find no encumbrances of that which belongs to me, except it be in point of attendance at conferences with ambassadors, which I must confess, in my condition, I am not fit for), it would be hard for them to fine a man soe fit every way for that purpose, as this gentleman, one who I believe, in a short time, would be able to doe them as much service as Mr.
