It is very gratifying to me that you retain the same amount of recollection of me as you very politely showed of good will by once and again visiting me while you resided among us. As regards the Book on Divorce which you tell me you have given to some one to be turned into Dutch, I would rather you had given it to be turned into Latin. For my experience in those books of mine has now been that the vulgar still receive according to their wont opinions not already common. I wrote a good while ago, I may mention, _three_ treatises on the subject:--the first, in two books, in which _The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce_ (for that is the title of the book) is contained at large; a second, which is called _Tetrachordon_, and in which the four chief passages of Scripture concerning that doctrine are explicated; the third called _Colasterion_, in which answer is made to a certain sciolist. [The _Bucer Tract_ omitted in the enumeration.] Which of these Treatises you have given to be translated, or what edition, I do not know: the first of them was twice issued, and was much enlarged in the second edition. Should you not have been made aware of this already, or should I understand that you desire anything else on my part, such as sending you the more correct edition or the rest of the Treatises, I shall attend to the matter carefully and with pleasure. For there is not anything at present that I should wish changed in them or added. Therefore, should you keep to your intention, I earnestly hope for myself a faithful translator, and for you all prosperity. Westminster: Feb. 5, 1654-5.[1] [Footnote 1: Epist. Fam. 16.]
