Now, the first Sir Wycherly had three sons, and no daughter.

Each of these sons succeeded; the two eldest as bachelors, and the youngest was our grandfather.

Sir Thomas, the fourth baronet, left an only child, Wycherly, our father.
Sir Wycherly, our father, had five sons, Wycherly his successor, yourself, and the sixth baronet; myself; James; Charles; and Gregory.
James broke his neck at your side.

The two last lost their lives in the king's service, unmarried; and neither you, nor I, have entered into the holy state of matrimony.

I cannot survive a month, and the hopes of perpetuating the direct line of the family, rests with yourself.
