Can you tell me what this means or where it comes from?

Question

She will in no wise recieve nor keep your ring with her, and yet I told her that she should not be anything bound thereby; but that I knew by your heart of old that I wist well ye would be glad to forebear the levest thing that ye had in the world, which might be daily in her presence, that should cause her once a day to remember.

Answer 1

It comes from the Paston Letters, written during the Reigns.

I believe it is someone basicaly saying, she won't accept your ring as an offer of engagement, or a commitment but because I know you have loved her for a long time, you wouldn't want her to give it back because if she has it there, she might think of you daily and come to want you.
