Magnifice Domine Hartlibi,
Postquam discessi à vobis, altero die circa meridiem appuli Petworthi, post prandium admissus ad Dominum Comitem, expertus sum humanissimum. Ipse Adolescens ingeniosus est ad miraculum usque, ut sperem me ingenti cum gloria et fructu cum illo versaturum. Restat ut horum omnium nomine post Deum vobis et Domino Brereton reddam grates, et pro valetudine tua vota faciam. Si quid erit, singulis diebus Iovis huc currus venit, ut nôsti. Vale et nos ama. Raptim Pethworthi 21 Iulij 1657.
                                Vester humilimus servus
                                       Nicolaus Mercator.
