V. _To Oliver St. John, September 1, 1648._

Remember my love to my dear brother, H. Vane. I pray he make not too

much, nor I too little, of outward dispensations:--God preserve us

all, that we, in the simplicity of our spirits, may patiently attend

upon them. Let us all be not careful what men will make of these

actings. They, will they, nill they, shall fulfil the good pleasure

of God; and we--shall serve our generations. Our rest we expect

elsewhere: that will be durable. Care we not for to-morrow, nor for

anything.
