Gremio

To express the like kindness myself, that have    
been more kindly beholding to you than any, freely
give unto you this young scholar that hath been long
studying at Rheims, as cunning in Greek, Latin, and     
other languages as the other in music and mathematics.    
His name is Cambio; pray accept his service.
