emember my Love to
little _Erasmus_. Remember me to _Gertrude's_ Mother with all imaginable
Respect; tell them I wish 'em all well. Remember me to my old
Companions. Remember me to my Friends. Give my Love to my Wife. Remember
me to your Brother in your Letter. Remember my Love to my Kinsman. Have
you any Service to command by me to your Friends?
_Ans._ Tell them I wish them all heartily well.
_Sal._ Have you any Recommendations to send by me to your Friends?
_Ans._ Much Health to them all, but especially to my Father.
_Sal._ Are there any Persons to whom you would command me any Service?
_Ans._ To all that ask how I do. The Health you have brought from my
Friends to me, carry back again with much Interest. Carry my hearty
Service to all them that have sent their Service to me. Pray do so much
as be my Representative in saluting my Friends. I would have written to
my Son in Law, but you will serve me instead of a Letter to him.
_Sal._ Soho, soho, whither are you going so fast?
_Ans._ Strait to _Louvain_.
_Sal._ Stay a little, I have something to send by you.
_Ans._ But it is inconvenient for a Footman to carry a Fardel? What is
it?
_Sal._ That you recommend me to _Goclenius, Rutgerus, John Campensis_,
and all the Society of Trilinguists.
_Ans._ If you put nothing into my Snapsack but Healths, I shall carry
them with Ease.
_Sal._ And that you may not do that for nothing, I pray that Health may
be your Companion both going and coming back.
_How we ought to congratulate one that is return'd from a Journey._
We are glad you are come well Home. It is a Pleasure that you are come
Home safe. It is a Pleasure to us that you are come well Home. We
congratulate your happy Return. We give God Thanks that you are come
safe Home to us. The more uneasy we were at the Want of you, the more
glad we are to see you again. We congratulate you and ourselves too that
you are come Home to us alive and well. Your Return is the more pleasant
by how much it was less expected.
_Ans._ I am glad too that as I am well myself I find you so. I am very
glad to find you in good Health. I should not have thought myself well
come Home if I had not found you well; but now I think myself safe, in
that I see you safe and in good Health.
