My Lord and Dear Husband,
I commend me unto you. The hour of my death draweth fast
on, and my case being such, the tender love I owe you forceth
me, with a few words, to put you in remembrance of the health
and safeguard of your soul, which you ought to prefer before all
worldly matters, and before the care and tendering of your own
body, for the which you have cast me into many miseries and
yourself into many cares. For my part I do pardon you all, yea, I
do wish and devoutly pray God that He will also pardon you.
For the rest I commend unto you Mary, our daughter,
beseeching you to be a good father unto her, as I heretofore
desired. I entreat you also, on behalf of my maids, to give them

all my other servants, I solicit a year's pay more than their due,
lest they should be unprovided for. Lastly, do I vow, that mine
eyes desire you above all things.
