On ys day haue I received ye news of ye death of Maistres Bronwyn ferch Gwyn ap Rhys, 7 ys neuus came by ye hand of her hosbond, Master Calvin Fletcher. Et it has pressed vpon me, ys wish that I should write her a letter or otherwise send her some message, and I can not but regret yt I did not do so. For she was my teacher, 7 I her aprrentice in ye art of ye aetieler vntil such time as I was to work in ye Chancery. And much of what I know and many that I have met I would not haue were it not for her. O! VVe liue in a time most cruel.
