Given at our Court at Oxford under our signe manuall and privat signet this 12 of January 1644. "To our Right trustj and Right well beloved cosin Edward Earle of Glamorgan." Indorsed, "The Earle of Glamorgan's further authoritj." Feb. 12. Glamorgan had left Oxford, and was raising money in Wales, when Charles sent him other despatches, and with them a letter desiring him to hasten to Ireland.
"Say no more, my good friend," replied Cosin; "only let not our separation now be an end to our intercourse. You shall ever be to us a welcome visitor." "And I, for my part, shall ever be delighted to renew my acquaintance with the place which has been at once, the saddest and the happiest in my life." The others had now joined them.
Grandpa is the kindest man and he has the most Beautiful horse, her name is Essecks made. He let me sit on her back and give her Sugar. Cosin Elloees is the prettiest one of all. She has things that make her sorry but she is very kind to me. She washed my hare today and she helps me get the lesson. There is a docter here he is lovly. He tried to cure me when I had a claim but Mrs. Lewis did.
"Tournier will soon be here again!" cried Cosin to his sister, unable to repress the pleasure that he felt, but entirely, dull fellow that he was, on his own account. And all, saving Villemet, finished their ride in the best of spirits. Next day came the parting.
"At this tyme my father Pyne was in trouble and comitted to ye Gatehouse by ye Lords of ye Councell about a Quarrel betweene him and ye Lord Powlett, upon which one night I saide to my Cosin Towse, by way of jest, 'I pray aske your Appairition what shall become of my father Pyne's business, which he promised to doe, and ye next day he tolde me that my father Pyne's enemyes were ashamed of their malicious prosecution, and that he would be at liberty within a week or some few days, which happened according.
Many a time after this did the friends converse together, in their walks, when they rode out, and as they sat at the fire-side; and without any affectation of superior wisdom, yet, when Tournier at any time appeared to flag or grow weary in bearing up under his still severe trials, Cosin would cheer him by telling him, out of the fulness of his own heart, that all hopeless trouble came from trying to live without God, and that no one is really wise who thinks he knows better than He.
He had not long to wait. The door was opened with a will, and Cosin himself stood before him with welcome beaming in his face. There could be no doubt of it. His friend, whom he had treated so coldly, was heartily glad to see him, and said as much. "Can you forgive me, Mr. Cosin, for being so long in accepting your kind invitation?" "Not a word about it.
When Tournier returned to the barracks after his meeting with Cosin, he fell in with his young friend, who has already been alluded to, and whose name was Villemet. "Somebody has been asking after you, Tournier." "Who was he?" but not the slightest curiosity was in the tone of enquiry. "Our bishop." The interest fell lower, if possible. "You mean the chaplain. What does he want?" "To see you."
"But you have, on your own shewing: and taken up with the devil." Tournier writhed under this, and was about to say something sharp, but Cosin went on, "I will prove it to you. God says, 'Vengeance is mine: I will repay'; and you say, 'Not so, I will avenge myself. And whenever we contradict God, we take up with the devil." Then Cosin sat down again, and in his old gentle tone of voice, said,
Captain Tournier soon lost the impression made by the solemn words, but he never to his dying day forgot the compassionate look that accompanied them. The old priest left his mark. Winter had passed, and Spring was far advanced before Tournier paid his first visit to Mr. Cosin. It was not want of sociability or indifference to the friendship of such a very genial man that made him delay.
