_Dom. Mabillon_ first told me of it, he did not name the Author, so as
I understood who he was, but the Elogium he made of him, was indeed very
great, and I find that the _Dean_ in one Word, has done that worthy Man
Justice." This high Elogium of your self, and of your great Work, from so
renowned an Antiquary, as it is a great Defence and Commendation of the
_Old Northern Learning_, so is it the more remarkable, in that it was
given by one, against whom you had written in the most tender Point of
the Controversy, _De Re Diplomatica_, as may be seen in your _Lingg.
Vett. Septentr. Thesaur. Præfat. General._ p. _xxxvi_, &c.

Sir, I once more heartily beg your Pardon for giving you so much
trouble, and beg leave to give you my Thanks for the great Assistance
I have received in the _Saxon_ Studies from your learned Works, and
Conversation; and in particular for your favourable Recommendation of
my Endeavours, in a farther cultivating those Studies, who with sincere
Wishes for your good Health, and all imaginable Respect for a Person of
your Worth and Learning, am,

_SIR_,

Your Most Obliged,

Humble Servant,

_Elizabeth Elstob._
