In thankfull acknowledgment for the letters I received from my husband ovt of England

O thou that hear'st the Prayers of Thine,

And 'mongst them hast regarded Mine,

Hast heard my cry's, and seen my Teares;

Hast known my doubts and All my ffeares.

Thov hast releiv'd my fainting heart,

Nor payd me after my desert;

Thov hast to shore him safely

For whom I thee so oft besovght.

Thov wast the Pilott to the ship,

And rais'd him vp when he was sick;

And hope thov'st given of good successe,

In this his Buisnes and Addresse;

And that thov wilt return him back,

Whose presence I so much doe lack.

For All these mercyes I thee Praise,

And so desire ev'n all my Dayes.
