Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honourable
,
Dover
,
26th
April
1599
.
I
received
at
my
coming
to
Dover
,
a
letter
from
my
steward
,
who
is
attending
me
at
Dieppe
,
dated
two
days
since
;
wherein
he
writes
,
that
Monsieur
de
Chacou
,
Lieutenant
governor
of
Dieppe
,
hath
received
advertisement
,
that
all
French
ships
are
stayed
in
Spain
,
with
an
intent
,
(
as
is
pretended
)
to
use
them
in
the
fleet
,
which
that
King
is
now
preparing
against
the
navy
of
the
States
.
The
Lieutenant
rode
presently
with
the
news
to
Estampes
,
where
the
governor
lies
sick
;
and
from
thence
to
the
court
,
to
advertise
the
King
;
the
matter
being
there
generally
very
evil
interpreted
.
I
received
here
also
a
letter
from
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
dated
the
20th
of
April
,
(
but
what
style
I
know
not
)
That
the
King
was
to
remove
to
Blois
within
10
or
12
days
,
and
after
some
few
days
stay
there
,
to
pass
forthwith
to
Moulins
in
Bourbonnais
;
with
pretense
to
go
to
the
baths
to
Pouges
,
but
indeed
with
a
purpose
to
take
some
order
about
the
*
Marquisat
of
Saluces
;
and
to
receive
some
news
from
Florence
,
touching
this
marriage
with
that
Duke's
niece
.
I
fear
hereby
,
I
shall
not
arrive
at
Paris
,
or
Blois
,
before
his
departure
;
and
therefore
I
humbly
pray
your
honor's
directions
,
what
I
shall
do
if
I
find
him
gone
.
I
am
here
attending
the
wind
,
which
is
yet
directly
contrary
;
as
soon
as
it
turn
I
will
lose
no
opportunity
.
And
so
for
this
time
,
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
very
humbly
to
be
commanded
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
SIR
,
Dover
,
27th
April
1599
.
I
wrote
unto
you
yesternight
by
the
ordinary
post
,
of
the
advertisements
I
had
received
from
Dieppe
,
touching
the
arrest
of
the
French
ships
in
Spain
:
and
likewise
what
I
had
understood
from
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
of
the
King's
remove
to
Blois
,
and
from
thence
to
Moulins
;
wherein
I
hope
I
shall
receive
your
honor's
direction
for
my
stay
till
his
return
,
or
following
,
before
I
go
hence
;
seeing
the
wind
is
yet
so
contrary
,
and
the
weather
so
foul
,
as
we
cannot
put
to
sea
this
morning
I
received
your
honors
letter
,
with
her
majesties
enclosed
to
the
French
King
;
whereof
I
am
exceeding
glad
,
and
do
most
humbly
kiss
her
royal
hands
for
the
great
honor
she
hath
therein
done
unto
me
,
which
I
pray
God
to
give
me
Grace
to
deserve
,
and
to
do
her
service
,
which
may
be
answerable
to
her
Highness's
expectation
,
and
my
own
duty
.
I
will
endeavor
in
such
sort
as
your
honor
prescribes
,
to
procure
that
the
King
shall
send
over
some
personage
of
quality
to
be
installed
for
him
,
and
therein
it
may
please
your
honor
,
to
let
me
know
,
what
person
will
be
most
grateful
to
her
Majesty
;
for
it
is
very
likely
,
that
in
the
choice
of
the
person
,
they
will
chiefly
regard
her
Majesty's
contentment
.
I
fear
if
this
journey
of
the
King's
hold
,
it
will
give
him
occasion
to
put
off
all
resolution
(
if
not
all
cogitation
)
of
payment
of
his
debt
to
her
Majesty
,
till
his
return
.
If
it
should
be
my
good
hap
to
find
him
about
Paris
or
at
Blois
,
and
to
have
audience
before
his
going
;
I
desire
to
know
her
Majesty
pleasure
,
whether
I
shall
not
even
upon
my
first
access
move
him
in
that
matter
;
and
also
,
whether
having
had
audience
before
his
going
,
I
shall
need
to
follow
,
or
not
:
for
if
it
might
stand
with
her
majesties
good
liking
,
and
be
no
prejudice
to
her
service
,
I
would
gladly
settle
my
self
and
my
family
,
before
I
undertake
so
long
a
voyage
;
and
so
hoping
of
your
honor's
speedy
direction
in
these
points
,
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honors
,

Sir
Henry

to
Mr

Secretary

Right
honourable

Dieppe
,
3d
May
1599
.
O
.
S
.
It
may
please
your
honor
to
understand
,
that
I
arrived
in
this
town
the
second
of
May
,
having
continued
almost
3
days
upon
the
sea
.
I
found
the
governor
,
and
his
Lieutenant
,
both
absent
;
but
have
received
great
courtesies
of
the
Sergeant
major
of
the
town
,
called
Monsieur
Favet
,
by
the
commandment
,
as
he
told
me
,
of
the
governor
.
Touching
the
arrest
of
the
French
ships
,
whereof
I
wrote
unto
your
honor
from
Dover
,
I
learn
here
,
fortifieth
his
frontiers
towards
France
;
which
should
argue
no
great
intention
,
to
satisfy
the
King
for
the
Marquisat
;
but
of
that
I
shall
certify
your
honor
more
from
Paris
.
I
purpose
to
go
hence
tomorrow
to
Rouen
,
where
I
expect
answer
,
by
a
Messenger
I
sent
post
of
purpose
to
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
of
the
certainty
and
speed
of
the
King's
remove
.
That
little
time
I
remain
there
,
I
mean
To
employ
,
in
learning
as
much
as
I
can
by
our
English
merchants
,
of
the
nature
and
value
of
those
customs
,
which
are
by
the
*
contract
,
to
be
assigned
to
her
Majesty
,
for
her
reimbursement
.
I
hope
ere
I
arrive
at
Paris
,
I
shall
receive
answer
from
your
honor
,
of
both
the
letters
I
wrote
from
Dover
;
and
,
&
c
.
Your
honors

HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
,
15th
May
1599
,
O
.
S
.
It
may
please
you
to
let
her
most
excellent
Majesty
understand
,
I
arrived
at
Paris
the
8th
of
May
,
and
finding
the
King
then
in
town
,
(
tho
'
in
secret
manner
at
Zamet's
house
,)
I
signified
my
arrival
unto
him
by
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
and
prayed
audience
,
as
soon
as
it
might
stand
with
his
good
pleasure
.
He
appointed
me
to
come
to
Moret
,
a
town
some
two
leagues
from
Fontainebleau
,
upon
the
Saturday
after
,
and
promised
to
give
me
access
upon
the
Sunday
.
Accordingly
I
repaired
to
Moret
,
where
I
found
the
Spanish
Ambassador
John
Baptista
Taxis
,
*
the
Pope's
Nuncio
the
Bishop
of
Modena
,
and
the
Ambassador
of
Savoy
Le
Chevalier
Breton
,
already
lodged
all
very
near
one
another
,
and
to
my
lodgings
.
The
next
morning
,
the
King
sent
monsieur
Gondi
,
and
Monsieur
Lussan
,
governor
of
Blaye
upon
the
river
of
Bordeaux
,
and
captain
of
the
Scottish
guard
,
to
Moret
,
to
conduct
me
to
Fontainebleau
;
where
I
had
a
chamber
appointed
for
me
to
retire
into
,
and
a
great
dinner
prepared
for
me
and
the
gentlemen
that
attended
me
.
After
dinner
,
the
Duke
of
Biron
was
sent
to
bring
me
to
the
King
,
who
by
the
way
used
very
many
compliments
unto
me
,
and
protestations
of
his
dutiful
affection
to
her
Majesty
,
which
I
was
told
to
answer
with
some
compliments
of
her
majesties
commendations
unto
him
,
and
of
her
good
acceptation
of
his
good
affection
towards
her
,
and
courtesies
and
good
offices
he
had
done
to
her
ministers
here
,
and
to
diverse
others
of
her
subjects
,
that
had
come
into
these
parts
.
I
found
the
King
in
his
gallery
,
who
upon
my
approach
unto
him
,
advanced
himself
two
or
three
paces
to
receive
and
embrace
me
;
and
told
me
,
I
was
very
welcome
,
and
that
he
had
advanced
himself
to
embrace
me
,
but
to
the
Spanish
Ambassador
he
had
not
stirred
one
foot
,
which
indeed
I
learned
to
be
true
.
I
delivered
him
her
majesties
letters
with
all
due
compliments
;
and
after
some
questions
on
his
part
of
her
majesties
good
health
,
I
told
him
,
that
the
Queen
my
Mistress
being
very
willing
to
continue
the
good
amity
,
that
had
been
so
long
since
begun
and
entertained
between
them
,
and
knowing
that
nothing
could
be
more
available
thereunto
,
than
a
good
and
real
intelligence
between
them
,
had
sent
me
to
reside
about
his
person
as
her
ordinary
Ambassador
,
and
had
given
me
charge
to
do
him
all
honor
and
service
,
that
was
sit
for
a
minister
of
a
Princess
that
was
his
true
and
perfect
friend
,
as
she
had
many
ways
declared
by
lively
and
effectual
demonstrations
.
That
she
had
for
that
purpose
commanded
me
to
direct
my
whole
intention
to
that
end
,
to
fortify
this
good
alliance
and
union
that
is
now
between
them
,
which
I
prayed
him
to
be
assured
that
I
would
not
fail
to
perform
to
the
uttermost
of
my
ability
,
knowing
that
I
could
do
nothing
more
acceptable
to
her
Majesty
,
or
more
agreeable
to
her
commandment
.
The
King
answered
,
that
he
took
in
very
kind
part
,
her
majesties
good
disposition
to
the
continuance
of
the
amity
,
wherein
he
would
never
fail
to
concur
with
her
in
desire
and
earnest
affection
.
That
he
had
received
so
many
real
tokens
of
her
majesties
favourable
intention
towards
him
,
as
he
could
not
,
nor
would
not
forget
.
That
indeed
good
ministers
were
meet
to
be
employed
between
princes
,
and
might
be
of
great
moment
,
to
the
furtherance
or
hindrance
of
their
Master's
intent
:
that
he
had
had
from
her
Majesty
diverse
men
employed
to
him
,
with
whome
he
had
treated
with
good
satisfaction
;
but
again
he
had
found
some
so
incompatible
,
and
of
so
strange
a
nature
,
as
he
could
not
with
any
contentment
converse
with
them
.
That
he
promised
himself
all
good
of
me
,
both
from
the
assurance
he
had
received
thereof
by
her
majesties
letters
,
and
for
the
good
report
he
had
heard
otherwise
:
and
that
I
might
likewise
be
assured
,
that
he
would
use
me
with
all
honor
and
courtesy
,
as
an
acceptable
minister
of
a
Princess
so
dear
unto
him
.
I
gave
him
thanks
for
his
good
conceit
,
and
offer
of
favorable
usage
;
and
for
my
carriage
in
my
charge
,
prayed
him
to
assure
himself
,
that
I
had
received
therein
so
straight
commandment
from
her
Majesty
,
as
I
durst
not
,
nor
had
in
any
wise
will
to
disobey
her
.
Then
I
descended
to
the
first
point
of
my
instructions
,
containing
a
congratulation
of
her
majesties
,
for
his
preservation
from
*
the
attempts
which
had
been
against
his
person
,
which
I
delivered
in
such
sort
,
as
I
am
therein
directed
;
amplifying
as
much
as
I
could
,
her
majesties
care
of
his
safety
,
and
ministering
what
jealousie
I
might
with
congruity
,
of
them
that
had
been
discovered
to
be
the
authors
,
and
persuaders
of
such
practices
.
The
King
answered
only
,
that
her
Majesty
and
he
had
great
cause
to
praise
God
for
their
preservation
from
so
many
wicked
practices
against
their
lives
,
and
that
he
trusted
that
God
would
continue
to
be
merciful
to
them
both
,
that
they
might
live
,
and
see
as
they
had
done
,
the
confusion
of
such
as
intended
mischief
to
them
;
which
he
wished
with
as
great
affection
to
the
Queen
,
as
to
himself
,
to
whom
if
she
were
a
man
he
would
call
himself
a
perfect
friend
,
but
being
as
she
is
,
je
me
diray
son
servant
.
I
said
I
praised
God
to
continue
the
extraordinary
favor
he
had
shewed
to
both
their
majesties
,
for
the
happiness
of
the
greatest
part
of
Christendom
,
which
had
interest
in
their
preservations
.
And
so
I
proceeded
to
the
second
point
of
my
instructions
,
touching
the
edict
;
wherein
I
said
,
that
her
Majesty
was
very
glad
to
hear
that
he
had
so
well
provided
for
the
quiet
of
his
kingdom
,
and
given
so
good
contentment
to
his
faithful
subjects
of
the
reformed
religion
,
by
the
edict
which
he
had
lately
published
;
wherein
I
said
,
that
her
Majesty
did
acknowledge
his
great
wisdom
in
discovering
the
errors
of
his
predecessors
,
who
by
a
contrary
course
,
whereunto
they
were
led
by
evil
counselors
,
had
well
nigh
overthrown
their
estate
;
and
that
she
was
very
glad
(
seeing
God
had
so
ordained
it
for
his
greater
good
)
that
he
had
found
some
difficulty
and
opposition
in
the
passing
of
it
,
that
so
his
said
subjects
of
the
religion
might
now
receive
and
acknowledge
it
wholly
from
himself
,
and
render
him
that
entire
love
,
obedience
,
and
obligation
,
that
so
great
a
favor
deserved
;
adding
farther
,
as
in
the
same
article
I
am
instructed
.
The
King's
answer
was
,
that
no
man
could
better
discover
the
errors
of
his
predecessors
counsel
in
that
point
then
himself
,
for
that
it
was
he
against
whom
they
did
chiefly
put
it
in
execution
:
that
he
saw
very
well
that
to
continue
that
course
,
was
but
to
put
a
knife
in
his
own
bowels
,
and
therefore
he
had
resolved
to
publish
this
edict
,
which
he
meant
to
see
observed
.
That
he
had
indeed
found
opposition
in
some
,
which
were
willing
to
dwell
upon
their
former
principles
;
but
he
had
made
it
known
that
he
would
be
le
maistre
,
and
that
he
thanked
God
he
could
tell
how
to
make
himself
to
be
obeyed
.
I
commended
his
wisdom
and
constancy
therein
,
as
the
only
assured
means
of
true
peace
and
prosperity
to
his
kingdom
.
And
so
I
passed
to
the
third
point
touching
depredations
;
wherein
I
told
him
first
,
what
care
her
Majesty
had
taken
to
give
him
satisfaction
,
both
for
prevention
of
such
offenses
hereafter
,
and
for
the
punishment
of
those
that
were
past
:
in
the
former
,
by
publishing
the
proclamation
which
his
own
Ambassador
had
been
acquainted
with
;
in
the
latter
,
by
granting
an
*
extraordinary
commission
to
certain
chosen
persons
of
wisdom
and
integrity
,
who
should
freely
and
wholly
attend
that
business
.
Secondly
,
I
told
him
the
Queen
did
expect
that
the
like
would
be
performed
on
his
part
,
and
that
good
and
speedy
justice
might
be
done
to
her
subjects
,
of
such
wrongs
as
they
had
sustained
by
the
French
during
the
troubles
;
which
through
delay
or
want
of
justice
,
had
been
made
more
heavy
and
burdensome
unto
them
sometimes
,
(
by
reason
of
their
excessive
charges
in
following
the
suites
)
then
th
'
original
loss
it
self
;
which
I
said
her
Majesty
imputed
in
great
part
to
the
difficulties
and
iniquity
of
that
time
,
hoping
that
now
under
his
peaceable
government
,
that
he
would
take
order
that
they
should
have
redress
,
and
find
all
good
treatment
and
favor
,
seeing
he
had
found
them
often
ready
to
sacrifice
themselves
to
do
him
service
.
Thirdly
I
said
,
her
Majesty
did
likewise
assure
her
self
upon
the
promise
made
by
his
Ambassador
,
that
this
great
liberty
which
he
had
granted
to
his
subjects
,
to
pass
unsearched
and
uncontrolled
into
Spain
,
or
any
other
place
,
should
not
be
converted
by
them
to
her
prejudice
,
either
by
coloring
the
Spaniards
,
or
other
her
enemies
goods
;
or
by
transporting
into
Spain
,
or
any
other
of
that
King's
dominions
,
arms
,
munitions
,
or
any
instruments
or
materials
for
war
,
either
by
land
or
sea
;
whereof
I
said
she
had
given
me
charge
to
make
special
instance
unto
him
,
that
some
speedy
order
might
be
taken
for
her
assurance
,
as
a
matter
which
might
be
otherwise
very
prejudicial
unto
her
estate
,
and
might
give
her
occasion
to
repent
her
of
her
former
resolution
.
Fourthly
,
having
received
your
honors
letters
of
the
first
of
may
,
the
very
same
day
I
went
to
Moret
,
by
a
Messenger
which
Sir
Thomas
Vane
sent
of
purpose
from
Dover
.
I
told
him
,
as
I
was
thereby
directed
,
that
her
Majesty
when
she
assented
to
make
the
aforesaid
proclamation
,
and
thereby
to
give
free
passage
to
all
ships
bearing
French
flaggs
,
did
foresee
that
it
might
be
very
prejudicial
unto
her
,
for
that
th
'
enemies
might
by
that
means
be
sufficiently
furnished
with
corn
and
victual
whereof
they
stood
in
want
;
yet
upon
the
confidence
of
his
affection
and
true
friendship
towards
her
,
and
upon
a
promise
made
by
his
Ambassador
in
his
name
,
that
in
times
of
suspicion
,
when
that
King
might
be
thought
to
intend
or
prepare
any
hostility
against
her
Majesty
,
he
would
be
pleased
to
take
order
to
restrain
the
carriage
of
corn
by
his
subjects
into
Spain
,
her
Majesty
had
been
contented
to
pass
over
all
difficulties
,
and
to
resolve
to
grant
that
liberty
:
now
therefore
that
she
is
advertised
,
that
the
said
King
doth
make
very
great
preparations
,
with
intent
in
all
likelihood
to
employ
them
in
these
parts
,
by
reason
that
he
draws
down
his
forces
towards
the
Corunna
and
the
north
parts
of
Spain
,
(
which
otherwise
he
had
no
cause
to
do
,
if
he
only
intended
defence
against
the
states
attempts
,)
she
had
commanded
me
to
make
earnest
instance
unto
this
proclamation
is
printed
at
large
in
rymer's
foedera
,
vol
.
16
.
P
.
364
This
commission
is
likewise
published
by
Mr
.
Rymner
,
vol
.
16
.
P
.
368
.
Him
,
to
take
such
order
for
the
restraint
of
the
carriage
of
any
more
corn
into
Spain
,
(
till
the
design
of
these
preparations
might
more
plainly
appear
)
as
is
agreeable
with
the
constant
and
perfect
amity
which
he
hath
professed
to
bear
her
,
and
his
promise
aforesaid
made
by
his
Ambassador
,
so
as
she
may
reap
the
fruit
of
the
confidence
and
assurance
which
she
reposed
in
him
.
And
that
she
had
the
rather
commanded
me
to
deal
earnestly
in
this
point
,
because
she
is
perfectly
informed
out
of
those
parts
of
Spain
,
that
without
the
great
supp'I
of
corn
,
which
they
have
already
received
out
of
France
,
they
would
never
have
been
able
to
have
proceeded
so
far
as
they
have
done
in
their
preparations
.
The
King
answered
to
the
first
and
second
,
that
he
had
understood
from
his
Ambassador
,
her
majesties
willingness
to
have
a
mutual
reformation
in
those
causes
of
depredation
,
which
he
was
very
glad
of
,
and
would
be
found
as
forward
on
his
part
to
establish
a
good
course
therein
,
as
she
had
been
.
That
he
never
had
cause
to
complain
of
her
majesties
justice
,
but
had
always
found
her
very
inclinable
to
do
justice
,
as
a
Princess
of
great
honor
,
and
the
like
intention
was
always
in
him
:
but
there
might
perhaps
be
some
defect
in
her
ministers
,
who
for
their
own
profit
,
would
peradventure
not
hold
so
straight
a
hand
in
these
causes
as
was
sit
;
but
he
knew
her
Majesty
had
no
benefit
by
these
matters
,
and
therefore
he
was
the
more
earnest
to
urge
a
reformation
of
the
abuses
,
whereby
many
,
and
those
of
the
best
sort
were
prejudiced
,
(
meaning
,
as
I
guess
,
the
merchants
;)
and
few
,
and
those
of
the
worst
sort
,
benefited
.
To
the
third
he
answered
nothing
in
particular
,
but
only
said
non
,
non
,
non
,
whiles
I
was
speaking
,
as
if
he
meant
that
he
had
no
purpose
his
subjects
should
abuse
her
majesties
favor
and
freedom
granted
them
:
but
in
that
,
and
likewise
in
the
fourth
,
I
will
urge
a
more
particular
answer
at
my
next
audience
.
To
the
fourth
he
seemed
willing
,
and
said
,
he
would
take
a
pretext
to
do
it
upon
the
arrest
which
they
had
made
in
Spain
of
French
ships
,
upon
which
point
he
told
me
,
he
had
dealt
the
day
before
very
roundly
with
the
Spanish
Ambassador
.
He
told
me
farther
,
there
had
been
no
very
great
quantity
of
corn
carried
out
of
France
thither
,
but
rather
as
he
thought
by
the
easterlings
.
And
for
the
preparations
in
Spain
,
he
said
he
was
informed
that
they
were
such
,
as
were
not
likely
to
be
used
for
invasion
of
any
of
her
majesties
dominions
,
but
only
to
withstand
the
states
attempts
.
But
that
it
was
not
amiss
for
her
Majesty
to
take
the
alarm
of
it
,
and
not
to
be
unfurnished
;
and
that
oftentimes
such
false
alarmes
were
very
profitable
.
He
said
further
,
that
the
drought
in
Spain
had
been
so
great
already
this
year
,
as
was
like
to
breed
an
extreme
want
of
corn
there
this
next
year
,
which
he
thought
they
would
seek
to
supply
by
the
easterlings
.
I
told
him
,
that
her
Majesty
intended
not
to
give
that
liberty
to
any
nation
,
as
she
did
to
his
subjects
,
because
she
had
not
that
confidence
in
any
,
that
she
had
in
him
;
and
that
I
doubted
not
but
she
would
have
a
vigilant
eye
to
the
easterlings
proceedings
.
Hereuppon
he
took
occasion
to
tell
me
of
the
placard
set
out
by
the
states
,
which
he
complained
of
as
a
thing
injurious
to
his
subjects
:
I
said
,
I
thought
it
an
effect
of
great
necessity
,
which
had
no
law
;
and
more
I
forbore
to
speak
,
because
I
understood
by
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
that
he
was
jealous
that
it
had
been
done
by
her
majesties
privity
and
direction
.
After
these
speeches
he
began
to
question
with
me
about
Irish
matters
,
and
asked
me
,
what
news
I
had
of
my
Lord
of
Essex
;
I
told
him
I
had
only
received
thus
much
,
that
he
was
well
arrived
there
,
after
some
difficulty
in
passing
the
sea
,
by
reason
of
foul
weather
and
contrary
winds
.
Then
he
said
he
would
tell
me
news
of
him
,
which
he
had
received
;
namely
,
that
2
or
3
of
the
principal
rebels
were
come
in
,
and
had
submitted
themselves
unto
him
.
I
was
ashamed
that
he
should
know
more
of
those
matters
than
I
;
but
not
to
seem
to
be
ignorant
,
I
answer'd
,
there
was
a
secret
rumor
and
expectation
of
some
such
matter
.
Then
he
began
to
inquire
of
the
peace
between
her
Majesty
and
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
asked
me
how
near
it
was
to
the
conclusion
.
I
told
him
his
Ambassador
had
been
made
acquainted
with
all
that
passed
in
this
matter
;
oh
,
said
the
King
,
I
think
I
know
more
than
he
doth
of
it
.
I
assured
him
,
that
at
my
coming
away
there
was
no
more
past
than
had
been
communicated
both
to
his
Ambassador
there
,
and
to
himself
,
by
Mr
.
Edmonds
:
well
,
said
he
,
the
other
side
tells
me
another
tale
:
I
protested
I
knew
no
more
then
I
had
said
,
and
if
there
were
any
further
proceedings
,
it
was
since
my
coming
away
,
whereunto
he
replied
not
.
These
interlocutory
speeches
being
past
,
I
took
occasion
partly
out
of
my
instructions
,
and
partly
upon
some
instance
made
unto
me
by
some
of
our
merchants
trading
into
these
parts
,
to
recommend
unto
him
the
maintenance
of
the
free
trade
and
intercourse
between
these
two
realm
,
alleging
,
that
those
were
the
safest
and
most
durable
friendships
,
which
were
sounded
not
only
upon
the
disposition
of
the
princes
,
but
upon
the
interest
of
the
subjects
also
:
and
therefore
prayed
him
to
take
order
the
intercourse
might
be
continued
,
in
such
ample
sort
as
it
had
been
in
his
predecessors
times
,
and
and
according
to
the
treaties
of
perpetual
amity
passed
between
the
two
crowns
.
He
answered
,
that
he
would
have
me
present
a
memorial
of
that
I
required
in
that
behalf
,
and
his
counsel
should
consider
of
it
,
and
give
me
satisfaction
.
This
is
the
substance
of
that
which
passed
between
the
King
and
me
at
this
first
audience
;
for
as
touching
the
matter
of
Scotland
,
I
understood
by
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
he
hath
already
advertised
your
honor
,
that
this
King
hath
renewed
th
'
ancient
privileges
granted
to
that
nation
,
and
confirmed
amity
with
that
King
,
with
omission
of
such
points
contained
in
former
treaties
,
as
had
any
reference
to
enmity
with
us
:
and
to
receive
confirmation
on
that
King's
part
,
he
Rosni
;
therefore
this
alteration
being
grown
in
the
matter
,
I
thought
it
best
not
to
deal
in
that
point
,
till
I
understood
her
majesties
further
pleasure
.
Since
my
coming
to
this
town
,
the
Ambassador
of
Venice
hath
been
to
visit
me
,
and
likewise
the
Agent
of
the
states
,
who
tells
me
he
hath
commission
I
shall
make
my
self
partaker
of
his
counsels
or
actions
;
for
I
see
the
states
desire
very
much
to
draw
some
countenance
from
her
Majesty
,
in
all
their
proceedings
here
,
and
could
be
content
to
be
thought
to
have
very
straight
intelligence
with
her
,
and
to
do
nothing
without
her
privity
.
The
treaty
of
peace
begun
by
Cardinal
andreas
hath
given
the
alarme
not
only
to
them
,
but
to
many
other
here
;
and
th
'
Agent
told
me
,
that
monsieur
de
Villeroy
assured
him
it
was
concluded
,
and
stayed
but
the
Archduke's
return
to
be
perfected
.
The
like
he
saythe
he
saw
written
from
the
French
Ambassador
in
England
to
the
Duke
de
Bouillon
.
I
answer
all
men
as
my
instru
ctions
direct
me
,
yet
I
think
it
not
amiss
for
her
majesties
affairs
,
that
this
King
should
be
held
in
some
jealousie
of
it
.
This
day
likewise
,
the
Bishop
of
Glasgow
Ambassador
of
Scotland
,
sent
to
compliment
with
me
,
and
to
excuse
him
upon
his
debility
,
that
he
hath
not
yet
seen
me
.
The
Princess
of
Orange
hath
likewise
sent
to
visit
me
,
and
would
have
come
her
self
but
that
I
went
to
the
court
;
and
to
prevent
her
,
I
purpose
to
see
her
to
morrow
.
I
was
willing
to
have
delivered
her
Majesty's
letters
to
the
Duke
of
Bouillon
,
and
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
when
I
had
audience
,
and
signified
unto
them
both
by
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
that
I
was
desirous
to
have
some
private
conference
with
them
:
but
they
both
thought
it
sit
to
be
deferred
till
my
next
audience
,
which
I
am
promised
upon
Monday
next
,
being
their
whitsun-Monday
.
I
was
desirous
to
have
had
it
sooner
,
but
could
not
obtayne
it
,
because
the
King
had
determined
to
spend
this
week
in
hunting
,
and
in
some
secret
walks
to
this
town
.
Presently
after
the
holidays
he
purposes
to
go
to
Blois
,
but
whether
any
further
or
nay
is
not
yet
certain
;
for
by
reason
of
this
concourse
of
ambassadors
,
he
stayed
his
going
to
the
bathes
till
the
season
was
past
,
and
is
now
dissuaded
by
the
physicians
to
use
them
this
year
.
And
for
his
journey
to
Lyon
,
it
was
not
without
some
reference
to
the
affairs
of
the
Marquisat
,
where
by
the
mediation
of
the
*
General
of
the
Cordeliers
,
sent
of
purpose
by
the
Pope
,
and
at
the
instance
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy
himself
,
he
hath
been
contented
to
give
him
2
months
time
more
to
advice
of
an
answer
.
The
Duke
desired
6
months
,
but
he
hath
yielded
but
to
two
,
yet
with
a
purpose
,
as
I
am
informed
from
a
very
good
hand
,
to
enlarge
it
two
more
if
need
be
;
purposing
to
keep
the
Duke
of
Savoy
in
the
mean
time
both
in
suspense
and
charge
,
whiles
he
himself
may
also
make
his
provisions
for
the
war
,
for
the
which
he
is
yet
utterly
unready
.
Yet
he
lets
not
to
set
a
good
face
upon
the
matter
,
and
gives
commissions
to
levy
companies
to
draw
down
that
way
;
and
the
Duke
of
Biron
told
me
he
had
already
four
companies
ready
for
that
service
.
But
the
truth
is
,
there
is
no
money
,
nor
any
other
provision
in
a
readiness
.
I
understand
that
the
King
told
the
Spanish
Ambassador
,
that
he
heard
some
bruits
that
his
Master
meant
to
assist
the
Duke
against
him
in
that
cause
.
If
that
it
were
true
he
said
,
he
was
as
ready
to
march
that
day
as
the
next
to
meet
him
,
and
that
he
would
send
a
valet
of
his
chamber
,
to
wish
him
that
either
they
might
embrace
as
friends
,
or
meet
in
the
field
.
The
said
Ambassador
hath
expostulated
with
the
King
upon
three
points
;
th
'
one
of
the
enterprise
designed
by
Baligney
some
time
governor
of
Cambray
against
that
town
;
the
second
,
that
this
King
hath
an
Ambassador
with
the
states
,
which
he
called
his
masters
rebels
;
and
lastly
,
that
he
suffered
Monsieur
de
La
Noue
,
and
many
others
,
to
pass
to
their
aid
with
good
troops
.
The
effect
of
all
his
complaints
is
only
this
,
that
the
King
hath
promised
to
make
a
new
proclamation
upon
pain
of
death
,
that
no
man
shall
go
to
the
service
of
any
foreign
Prince
or
state
,
without
his
leave
.
I
cannot
yet
learn
by
any
means
,
of
any
design
in
this
King
to
erect
a
navy
royal
,
neither
can
I
hear
of
any
great
increase
of
shipping
in
all
the
coast
of
normandy
,
though
I
employed
some
of
purpose
that
way
to
discover
it
.
True
it
is
they
have
been
somewhat
busier
in
trading
since
the
peace
than
they
were
before
,
and
that
must
needs
in
time
increase
their
shipping
.
At
my
next
audience
I
mean
to
deal
with
the
King
about
her
majesties
money
,
because
I
am
like
to
have
no
more
before
his
journey
,
although
I
have
little
hope
of
any
great
effect
for
more
than
20000
crowns
,
which
he
hath
already
assigned
to
be
paied
at
the
instance
of
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
and
that
with
great
difficulty
.
I
moved
your
honor
before
my
coming
away
about
the
treaty
of
Blois
,
whether
you
thought
it
not
sit
that
the
King
should
be
urged
to
the
confirmation
of
it
,
being
the
most
beneficial
treaty
for
England
that
hath
been
made
at
any
time
.
I
beseech
you
let
me
understand
her
Majesty's
pleasure
in
it
,
for
I
think
the
King
will
be
easily
drawn
to
that
,
or
any
other
reasonable
matter
that
shall
be
proposed
,
during
the
suspense
of
her
Majesty's
treaty
with
Spain
,
and
his
own
with
Savoy
.
And
so
desiring
your
honor
that
I
may
hear
often
from
you
,
which
will
be
both
my
comfort
and
my
reputation
here
,
I
most
humbly
take
my
leave
,
recommending
your
honor
to
the
safe
keeping
and
gracious
care
of
the
almighty
.
Your
honors
,
&
c
.
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honourable
,
Paris
,
19th
May
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
received
this
evening
this
packet
I
send
herewith
unto
your
honor
,
from
Estienne
Le
Sieur
,
with
a
letter
to
my
self
,
without
date
of
place
or
time
,
wherein
he
requested
me
to
convey
it
to
your
honor
with
expedition
.
Therefore
not
knowing
what
it
may
import
,
I
thought
good
to
send
it
by
this
express
Messenger
.
I
have
not
yet
any
material
thing
to
advertise
your
honor
more
than
I
signified
in
my
last
dispatch
,
only
I
perceive
it
generally
believed
here
by
men
of
the
best
place
,
that
the
preparations
of
Spain
are
only
for
defence
:
but
withal
,
the
proceedings
of
the
state's
fleet
,
begins
to
be
doubted
of
:
in
which
case
it
is
not
amiss
to
be
thought
of
,
whether
that
which
was
first
intended
for
defence
,
may
not
be
converted
another
way
,
when
themselves
are
out
of
fear
.
The
King's
marriage
with
the
Duke
of
Florence's
niece
is
much
in
speech
here
,
howbeit
,
I
learn
from
very
good
hands
,
that
the
Duke
of
Florence
hath
made
but
a
cold
answer
to
Gondi's
overture
,
who
was
used
in
it
;
namely
,
that
the
King
did
once
before
make
the
same
motion
,
and
afterwards
falling
in
liking
with
Madam
Gabrielle
,
he
left
it
with
her
disgrace
,
having
drawn
some
loan
of
money
from
the
Duke
upon
that
pretence
.
That
since
,
he
hath
entered
into
some
treaty
with
the
Emperor
for
the
match
,
and
although
he
be
not
far
engaged
that
way
,
but
that
he
may
retire
when
he
will
;
yet
till
he
may
be
better
assured
of
the
King's
constancy
,
he
sees
no
reason
to
do
it
.
Hereupon
they
be
at
some
stay
,
and
know
not
what
to
build
upon
;
which
is
likewise
the
occasion
that
the
King's
journey
is
so
uncertain
,
only
he
resolves
to
go
this
next
week
to
Blois
,
and
there
to
stay
two
months
,
and
there
to
resolve
to
go
further
,
either
as
the
matter
of
the
Marquisat
,
or
the
proceeding
of
this
match
shall
guide
him
.
In
the
mean
time
,
not
to
be
utterly
destitute
,
he
causeth
*
mademoiselle
d'entragues
his
new
favourite
,
and
villar's
wife
,
his
late
Mistress's
sister
,
to
follow
this
progress
;
and
hath
assigned
to
the
former
500
crowns
a
month
for
her
charges
.
Upon
Monday
next
,
I
am
promised
a
second
audience
at
Fontainebleau
,
whereupon
I
shall
be
able
to
advertise
your
honor
that
shall
be
more
material
.
In
the
mean
time
,
&
c
.
Your
honors

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
of
the
same
date
with
the
former
.
SInce
the
finishing
of
my
dispatch
,
I
received
from
monsieur
de
Villeroy
the
King's
answer
,
whereof
I
send
a
copy
herewith
.
Thereupon
,
considering
the
King
was
removed
from
Fountainebleau
,
and
Villeroy
with
him
,
so
as
I
shall
of
long
time
have
no
means
of
access
to
them
,
I
went
this
evening
to
monsieur
de
Bellièvre
,
a
principal
man
in
counsel
,
who
is
yet
in
this
town
,
and
complained
to
him
very
hotly
of
the
answer
,
saying
,
that
it
appeared
rather
made
par
maniere
d'acquit
than
upon
any
serious
consideration
of
the
importance
of
it
,
and
that
it
had
been
fitter
to
have
been
given
to
a
suitor
that
would
have
borrowed
or
begged
money
of
the
King
,
than
to
a
Princess
of
that
state
,
who
demanded
nothing
but
her
own
,
when
she
had
occasion
to
use
it
her
self
,
having
Lent
it
him
in
his
extreme
necessity
.
And
I
told
him
I
found
it
so
very
unreasonable
,
and
so
likely
to
give
her
Majesty
an
exceeding
discontentment
,
to
see
her
self
so
little
regarded
that
had
so
well
deserved
;
that
out
of
my
love
to
the
King
,
and
desire
of
the
continuance
of
good
amity
between
their
majesties
,
I
would
presume
to
conceal
and
suppress
it
till
the
King
might
readvise
of
it
;
and
if
I
must
needs
return
this
,
and
could
get
no
better
,
I
would
do
it
,
but
with
protestation
of
the
great
wrong
and
ingratitude
done
therein
to
the
Queen
my
Mistress
.
I
told
him
,
that
if
the
King
were
not
able
to
satisfy
her
all
presently
,
yet
if
he
had
made
offer
of
some
reasonable
part
of
it
,
it
might
have
given
her
Majesty
an
argument
of
his
willingness
and
care
to
content
her
:
but
to
give
her
no
satisfaction
,
having
satisfied
the
States
,
the
Swiss
,
and
all
his
own
subjects
,
(
to
whom
he
was
no
more
tied
than
to
her
Majesty
)
argued
a
less
regard
towards
her
than
towards
them
,
which
I
was
sorry
to
see
,
and
might
breed
in
her
Majesty
an
impression
nothing
profitable
unto
him
.
And
whereas
it
is
alleged
in
the
answer
,
that
the
assignations
of
the
King's
means
are
already
made
for
this
year
,
I
told
him
,
the
King
was
not
so
much
tyed
in
honor
or
justice
by
those
assignations
,
which
were
but
his
voluntary
act
,
as
by
his
obligations
made
to
the
Queen
under
the
great
seal
of
France
,
and
verified
in
his
court
of
parliament
,
and
chambre
des
contes
,
and
that
there
was
none
of
those
who
had
these
assignations
made
them
for
debt
or
otherwise
,
whom
the
King
had
so
much
cause
to
fear
to
break
with
,
as
with
the
Queen
,
of
whom
he
had
received
such
real
kindness
.
And
therefore
,
if
the
King
,
to
satisfy
her
in
some
good
measure
,
did
strain
himself
,
by
using
his
credit
,
or
any
other
extraordinary
means
,
it
were
but
reason
,
rather
than
that
she
for
want
of
it
,
should
be
driven
into
any
strait
or
difficulty
.
The
old
man
apprehended
my
speech
very
well
,
and
confessed
,
it
was
meet
the
King
should
make
the
Queen
a
better
satisfaction
;
but
told
me
,
that
the
matter
was
not
yet
come
to
the
counsel
,
but
when
it
should
be
communicated
unto
them
,
he
would
speak
that
which
he
thought
sit
,
for
the
King's
honor
,
and
the
continuance
of
the
amity
.
He
wished
me
likewise
to
write
unto
monsieur
de
Villeroy
as
much
as
I
had
said
to
him
,
which
I
mean
to
do
out
of
hand
;
and
as
soon
as
I
have
any
other
answer
,
I
will
advertize
your
honor
immediately
.
In
the
mean
time
I
refer
it
to
your
honor's
consideration
,
whether
you
will
take
knowledge
of
this
answer
or
nay
;
and
when
you
do
,
it
were
very
sit
her
Majesty
would
deal
roundly
and
quickly
with
the
Ambassador
about
it
,
for
that
is
the
way
to
prevail
most
with
these
men
;
and
so
I
shall
be
best
avowed
when
I
shall
prosecute
it
with
earnestness
.
In
all
things
els
I
make
no
doubt
but
they
will
give
her
Majesty
good
contentment
,
and
particularly
I
understand
that
upon
the
speech
monsieur
de
Villeroy
and
I
had
about
the
treaty
of
Blois
,
it
hath
since
been
debated
in
counsel
,
and
it
is
resolved
,
that
the
confirmation
of
it
shall
be
offered
.
So
likewise
it
seemeth
the
King
will
send
one
to
be
installed
for
him
,
but
how
soon
I
cannot
yet
certainly
discover
.
Structed
in
all
things
that
have
passed
here
,
and
namely
,
in
the
points
of
my
negotiation
,
that
I
should
but
disappoint
your
honor
,
and
wrong
him
,
to
make
any
other
relation
.
This
I
may
not
omitte
to
signify
,
that
I
have
found
him
most
friendly
and
willing
,
not
only
to
communicate
really
with
me
,
but
to
take
much
more
pains
for
me
than
was
fit
for
me
to
require
of
him
,
insomuch
as
I
hold
my
self
very
much
obliged
unto
him
:
whereof
,
because
I
wholly
impute
it
to
your
honor's
commendation
,
being
otherwise
of
my
self
a
mere
stranger
unto
him
;
I
humbly
beseech
your
honor
to
take
knowledge
thereof
,
and
let
him
see
that
it
is
grateful
unto
you
.
I
beseech
you
,
Sir
,
to
be
assured
,
that
I
had
no
purpose
any
way
to
challenge
you
of
any
omission
,
in
that
I
was
not
advertised
of
the
news
of
Ireland
which
the
King
told
me
;
for
I
had
even
the
same
conceit
of
it
,
which
I
find
now
to
be
true
,
that
the
Ambassador
had
taken
up
the
news
there
at
the
exchange
:
but
de
been
esse
,
I
made
that
answer
I
wrote
of
.
I
beseech
you
think
,
that
I
shall
take
all
you
write
me
to
be
of
favor
,
and
what
you
write
not
,
to
be
forborne
upon
good
respects
.
This
day
were
the
obsequies
of
the
King
of
Spain
performed
,
and
whereunto
I
was
invited
,
but
excused
my
self
,
that
I
was
very
willing
to
do
the
King
any
honor
,
but
this
action
being
designed
wholly
to
the
honor
of
the
King
of
Spain
,
who
died
not
in
amity
,
but
rather
in
hostility
with
her
Majesty
,
and
his
son
continuing
in
the
same
terms
,
it
would
very
evil
beseeme
me
to
be
partaker
of
it
,
and
besides
my
presence
would
but
trouble
the
feast
;
for
I
thought
the
Spanish
Ambassador
would
insist
upon
his
Master's
place
and
honor
,
and
so
would
I
upon
the
Queen's
my
Mistress
;
which
might
easily
produce
effects
that
would
not
be
pleasing
to
this
King
,
especially
at
such
a
time
.
My
excuses
were
well
taken
,
and
I
was
offered
a
private
place
to
see
the
solemnity
if
I
would
;
I
accepted
it
for
the
gentlemen
of
my
company
,
but
indeed
I
went
also
disguised
my
self
,
and
repented
me
of
my
pains
,
having
never
seen
a
poorer
thing
.
The
young
Prince
of
Condé
,
the
Duke
Montpensier
,
and
the
Duke
of
Nevers
,
were
the
mourners
.
The
Bishop
of
Glasgow
,
Ambassador
of
Scotland
,
was
lately
to
visit
me
,
together
with
another
that
bears
the
title
of
Master
of
requests
,
who
is
sent
to
assist
him
.
The
Lord
of
Hume
is
yet
in
these
parts
,
and
for
anything
I
can
learn
makes
no
great
haste
into
Italy
;
which
should
argue
that
*
my
Lord
of
Wemyss
'
intelligence
is
not
well
sounded
;
yet
I
thought
it
my
duty
to
write
it
,
being
of
that
nature
,
and
to
name
my
author
,
upon
whose
credit
I
must
lay
it
,
if
it
prove
otherwise
.
Here
are
diverse
English
gentlemen
that
seem
weary
of
their
exile
and
evil
entertainment
among
the
Spaniards
,
who
seek
to
have
access
unto
me
.
Among
the
rest
here
is
Charles
Paget
and
one
Mr
.
Tresham
,
who
was
sometime
a
gentleman
pensioner
.
I
beseech
your
honor
direct
me
,
whether
I
shall
give
access
unto
them
to
make
any
use
of
them
,
or
how
I
shall
govern
myself
towards
them
.
And
so
referring
the
report
of
all
other
particularities
here
unto
this
bearer
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
I
most
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's

HENRY
NEVILLE

Sir

Mr

Secretary

SIR
,
Paris
,
26
May
1599
.
O
.
S
.
It
may
please
you
to
let
her
Majesty
understand
,
that
upon
Monday
last
,
being
the
21th
of
this
month
,
I
repaired
to
Fontainebleau
,
and
had
access
unto
the
King
,
where
I
delivered
at
large
unto
him
that
which
I
comprised
thought
it
proper
to
print
the
state
of
the
whole
debt
,
as
I
found
it
drawn
up
by
Mr
.
Levinus
Muncke
,
who
was
under
Secretary
to
Sir
Robert
Cecyll
.
More
briefly
in
the
proposition
I
presented
in
writing
,
whereof
I
send
a
copy
here
enclosed
.
His
answer
was
short
,
(
as
his
manner
is
)
that
it
was
great
reason
her
Majesty
should
be
satisfied
of
such
sums
,
as
she
had
Lent
or
disbursed
for
him
in
his
great
necessities
,
and
that
he
would
be
careful
in
it
to
the
uttermost
of
his
ability
,
and
would
lay
open
unto
me
the
bottom
of
his
means
,
and
make
me
judge
of
his
dealing
with
her
Majesty
therein
;
but
for
that
and
the
rest
I
had
proposed
,
he
prayed
me
to
deliver
a
memorial
in
writing
,
and
his
counsel
should
consider
of
it
,
and
give
me
an
answer
.
I
had
the
memorial
ready
,
and
delivered
it
,
together
with
a
note
of
the
sums
of
money
due
to
her
Majesty
,
by
bond
or
account
,
which
he
presently
gave
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
and
then
prayed
me
to
sit
down
by
him
that
we
might
talk
:
thereupon
he
fell
into
discourse
with
me
of
his
marriage
,
wherein
he
told
me
,
that
he
had
diverse
proposed
unto
him
,
as
namely
,
a
sister
of
the
King
of
Denmark
,
a
sister
of
the
Prince
of
Anhalt's
,
a
widow
that
had
had
children
,
but
a
very
goodly
woman
,
the
Duke
of
Florence's
niece
,
(
whom
he
seemed
chiefly
to
commend
)
and
some
in
his
own
kingdom
.
He
said
he
was
resolved
to
marrie
,
but
he
would
first
seek
to
separate
himself
from
her
that
was
now
his
wife
,
and
*
had
already
begun
to
treat
with
the
Pope
to
that
purpose
,
from
whom
he
hoped
to
receive
answer
shortly
to
his
contentment
:
that
done
,
he
would
think
of
another
,
and
communicate
his
intention
to
his
good
sister
,
and
pray
her
advice
in
it
.
Upon
this
occasion
of
speech
of
the
Pope
,
he
told
me
how
respectful
he
found
him
towards
him
in
all
things
,
that
he
had
very
well
allowed
of
his
late
edict
,
acknowledging
that
no
violence
could
force
men's
consciences
and
beliefs
,
but
they
must
be
won
by
teaching
,
and
good
example
.
That
he
likewise
intended
to
publish
a
bull
of
excommunication
against
all
such
as
should
attempt
,
procure
,
or
favor
,
the
murdering
of
him
.
That
there
was
a
quarrel
grown
between
the
Pope
and
the
Spanish
King
,
about
the
cense
and
homage
of
the
kingdom
of
Naples
,
which
being
not
performed
or
tendered
since
the
death
of
the
late
King
,
the
Pope
had
sent
to
cease
upon
the
revenue
of
the
kingdom
,
and
the
viceroy
had
imprisoned
his
commissaries
;
whereupon
the
Pope
had
excommunicated
him
,
with
threats
that
if
that
King
persisted
in
those
courses
,
the
Church
had
a
champion
which
never
failed
her
in
her
need
,
whose
assistance
he
would
pray
,
and
was
sure
he
should
find
it
ready
in
the
churches
quarrel
,
(
meaning
the
King
of
France
.)
I
told
the
King
the
Pope
was
politique
,
and
to
keep
the
Spanish
King
in
awe
he
would
be
contented
to
make
some
good
shew
and
demonstrations
towards
him
;
but
I
thought
the
Pope
,
or
at
least
the
consistorie
,
too
much
Spaniard
,
for
the
King
to
make
any
great
foundation
of
them
.
He
said
,
he
thought
he
had
as
good
credit
there
,
as
the
King
of
Spain
.
He
told
me
he
understood
,
that
the
Emperor
was
sick
unto
death
,
and
that
he
had
taken
,
as
it
was
supposed
,
a
great
despite
and
grief
,
for
that
the
Voivode
of
Transylvania
had
sent
home
his
wife
,
who
is
the
Queen
of
Spain's
sister
,
and
had
resigned
his
estate
to
his
uncle
,
Cardinal
Bathory
,
which
the
Emperor
made
account
of
.
He
told
me
also
,
that
he
thought
the
electors
would
not
easily
agree
of
a
new
choice
,
because
the
most
of
them
had
no
affection
to
the
house
of
Austria
.
Hereupon
,
because
I
would
found
his
intention
,
I
said
they
needed
not
seek
far
for
a
worthy
subject
;
his
Majesty
being
so
near
a
neighbor
,
and
the
princes
of
Germany
so
well
affected
to
the
house
of
France
.
He
answered
he
had
never
ambitiously
brigued
or
wooed
for
any
thing
,
not
for
the
kingdom
of
France
it
self
,
when
he
knew
the
practices
and
brigues
that
others
made
for
it
,
but
had
ever
depended

The
King
was
desirous
the
English
court
should
believe
the
Pope
had
a
more
favourable
opinion
of
this
edict
,
than
in
truth
he
had
,
of
which
I
am
persuaded
the
reader
will
be
convinced
,
if
he
gives
himself
the
trouble
to
read
Cardinal
d'ossat's
letter
to
the
King
of
the
28th
of

God's
favor
,
and
his
right
:
so
in
this
,
he
intended
not
to
sue
,
or
woe
for
it
;
but
if
it
pleased
God
to
put
in
their
minds
to
choose
him
,
he
had
no
reason
to
refuse
it
.
This
I
thought
good
to
advertise
,
as
a
thing
not
to
be
neglected
;
I
fear
as
they
grow
in
greatnefs
,
they
will
grow
in
insolence
,
and
neglect
of
their
friends
.
He
told
me
further
,
of
his
proceedings
about
the
Marquisat
of
Saluces
,
*
that
at
the
instance
of
the
Pope
he
had
given
two
months
more
for
the
deciding
of
it
,
besides
the
two
months
granted
before
,
all
which
term
will
expire
in
September
next
.
That
the
Pope
had
assured
him
he
would
in
this
time
decide
it
,
and
to
his
advantage
;
for
which
purpose
he
said
he
would
draw
himself
towards
Lyons
about
a
month
before
the
term
would
expire
,
to
be
in
a
readiness
when
it
was
decided
,
either
to
receive
the
possession
quietly
,
or
to
take
it
by
force
,
if
the
Duke
of
Savoy
were
so
mad
to
stand
in
it
.
And
in
this
mean
time
,
he
said
he
had
gotten
this
advantage
by
the
prorogation
of
the
term
,
that
the
Duke
of
Savoy
by
continuing
the
forces
he
had
already
gathered
,
(
which
if
he
intended
resistance
he
must
be
forced
to
keep
together
)
would
be
consumed
before
the
war
began
;
whereas
he
himself
need
not
be
at
any
charge
,
but
that
which
is
ordinary
to
him
;
for
with
drawing
down
that
way
10
companies
,
out
of
his
garrisons
of
Picardy
and
Burgundy
,
and
the
regiments
of
his
gards
which
did
always
attend
him
,
and
some
light
horse
which
he
had
given
order
should
be
in
a
readiness
,
he
should
be
able
to
possess
himself
of
all
that
the
Duke
of
Savoy
had
on
this
side
the
Alps
,
Montmelian
only
excepted
,
which
he
would
block
,
and
then
his
passage
to
the
Marquisat
would
be
free
.
I
said
it
was
generally
conceived
that
the
King
of
Spain
would
assist
the
Duke
,
as
not
willing
that
this
King
should
have
such
a
footing
and
stepp
into
Italy
.
He
answered
,
that
his
Ambassador
at
Rome
,
monsieur
de
Sillery
,
charged
the
Spanish
Ambassador
with
it
,
who
answered
,
that
until
the
Pope
had
decided
the
matter
,
the
right
hanging
in
suspense
,
his
Master
could
not
in
honor
but
profess
to
assist
his
brother-in-law
in
his
right
;
but
the
Pope
having
decided
it
with
this
King
,
he
did
assure
him
his
Master
would
not
maintain
an
evil
cause
.
After
he
had
spent
an
houre
or
more
privately
with
me
in
these
discourses
,
he
went
with
me
himself
about
his
house
,
and
shewed
me
his
buildings
,
willing
me
to
come
again
the
next
day
to
see
his
gardens
,
and
the
rest
of
the
house
,
whiles
he
was
abroad
a
hunting
,
and
willed
monsieur
de
Villeroy
to
shew
me
all
,
and
so
dismissed
me
with
great
courtesy
,
commanding
monsieur
d
'
entragues
,
a
Knight
of
the
order
,
who
brought
me
in
,
to
accompany
me
out
again
.
The
next
day
I
returned
,
and
found
monsieur
de
Villeroy
at
good
leisure
,
all
the
court
being
gone
abroad
with
the
King
.
I
presented
him
the
Queen's
letters
,
with
ordinary
words
of
compliment
,
whereunto
he
answered
with
the
like
,
that
he
would
be
glad
to
do
her
Majesty
any
acceptable
service
,
in
regard
of
her
greatness
and
rare
virtues
,
and
of
the
favor
and
kindness
she
had
done
to
the
King
his
Master
;
he
knew
it
was
his
masters
pleasure
that
all
his
servants
should
be
likewise
her's
,
for
the
affection
he
bare
her
,
and
for
the
straight
amity
which
was
between
them
,
which
it
was
sit
for
the
ministers
of
both
sides
to
labor
to
preserve
,
and
to
increase
by
all
means
.
I
told
him
it
was
both
my
charge
from
her
Majesty
,
and
from
thence
(
as
he
yet
purprayed
him
I
might
find
that
disposition
in
him
not
in
words
only
,
but
in
effeet
,
which
would
best
appear
,
if
it
would
please
him
to
be
a
means
to
procure
a
good
answer
and
contentment
in
those
points
I
had
proposed
to
the
King
,
and
after
delivered
in
writing
,
which
the
King
had
given
him
.
He
told
me
in
that
,
or
any
thing
else
which
might
concerne
her
Majesty
,
he
would
do
his
best
labor
that
she
might
receive
all
good
satisfaction
;
but
he
had
not
spoken
with
the
King
since
I
saw
him
,
because
the
King
presently
upon
my
departure
rode
abroad
,
and
was
not
yet
returned
,
(
which
was
true
indeed
)
and
besides
,
there
was
none
els
of
the
counsel
there
but
himself
.
But
at
the
King's
return
,
he
would
deal
earnestly
with
him
to
send
for
his
counsel
,
and
especially
those
of
his
finances
,
without
whom
he
could
give
no
answer
to
the
principal
point
,
which
concerned
the
payment
of
money
.
I
prayed
him
to
hasten
my
answer
as
much
as
might
be
,
for
that
her
Majesty
might
marvel
I
had
been
so
long
here
,
and
returned
her
no
answer
of
any
thing
she
gave
me
in
charge
,
and
might
perhaps
condemne
me
of
negligence
.
I
prayed
him
also
not
to
refer
my
answer
to
the
*
financiers
,
for
they
were
like
enough
(
according
to
their
custom
)
to
find
many
difficulties
,
rather
than
they
would
part
with
any
money
.
But
I
desired
him
,
as
a
principal
minister
of
the
kings
,
by
whom
his
affairs
were
chiefly
directed
,
to
enter
into
due
consideration
how
meet
it
was
for
the
King
in
honor
and
justice
to
give
her
Majesty
contentment
herein
,
she
having
shewed
so
princely
and
entire
an
affection
to
him
,
in
all
his
necessities
,
and
requiring
now
nothing
of
him
but
her
own
,
and
that
in
such
time
as
she
had
apparent
occasion
to
use
it
,
and
he
by
reason
of
his
peace
at
home
and
abroad
,
might
best
spare
it
.
He
said
,
the
King
both
ought
and
would
strain
himself
,
to
give
her
Majesty
contentment
,
as
far
as
his
state
would
permit
;
but
to
deal
plainly
with
me
,
and
not
to
feede
me
with
words
,
he
thought
he
was
not
able
to
content
her
for
the
present
with
any
money
.
I
said
,
that
answer
might
perhaps
serve
if
she
went
about
to
borrow
any
money
of
him
,
but
she
demanding
nothing
but
her
own
,
Lent
in
his
necessitie
,
and
when
she
might
evil
have
spared
it
,
and
to
furnishe
him
was
fain
to
disaccomodate
her
self
,
whereby
she
is
now
driven
to
want
;
the
King
was
bound
in
honor
to
satisfy
her
,
though
with
some
difficulties
and
extraordinary
means
,
rather
than
to
drive
her
for
want
of
it
,
unto
any
extremity
or
inconvenience
.
I
told
him
her
Majesty
was
a
great
Princess
,
and
did
not
contract
amity
upon
any
disadvantage
,
but
upon
equal
terms
and
interests
.
That
hitherto
the
amity
with
the
King
had
been
rather
burdensome
than
profitable
unto
her
,
the
King
having
drawn
from
her
,
assistance
both
of
men
and
money
,
and
she
nothing
but
promise
and
hope
from
him
;
whereof
,
although
she
did
not
repent
,
yet
according
to
the
nature
of
amity
,
which
confifts
upon
mutual
offices
and
interests
,
she
did
look
now
to
receive
some
return
of
kindness
from
him
;
and
this
being
the
least
of
all
other
,
to
recover
her
own
,
if
he
did
no
more
regard
her
satisfaction
in
this
,
she
might
little
look
for
it
in
any
greater
measure
.
I
told
him
further
,
that
the
King
had
already
given
satisfaction
to
the
States
,
and
was
now
about
to
do
the
like
to
the
Swiss
,
to
the
value
of
500000
crowns
;
that
he
had
likewike
given
contentment
to
all
his
rebellious
subjects
,
with
whom
he
had
made
compositions
;
and
if
amongst
all
these
,
he
should
only
neglect
her
Majesty
,
it
would
give
her
just
cause
to
think
,
that
he
made
not
that
account
of
her
amity
,
which
by
the
greatness
of
her
estate
,
and
the
sincerity
of
her
friendship
towards
him
,
she
might
justly
challenge
.
He
answered
,
that
he
would
solicit
the
King
,
which
was
all
he
could
do
in
it
,
and
when
the
King
had
given
order
in
it
,
he
would
likewise
solicit
the
dispatch
.
Then
he
required
of
me
the
copies
of
the
bonds
,
which
I
have
since
sent
unto
him
,
and
have
likewise
written
unto
him
to
hasten
my
answer
.
Touching
the
matter
of
the
carriage
of
the
corn
into
Spain
,
he
told
me
,
that
the
King
hath
already
written
unto
all
the
ports
,
that
they
should
forbear
to
trade
with
Spain
,
both
in
respect
of
the
arrest
made
there
of
French
ships
,
and
likewise
of
the
placard
set
out
by
the
states
,
for
fear
they
should
meet
with
them
,
and
make
prize
of
them
.
But
when
I
replied
,
that
these
respects
were
but
for
a
time
,
but
that
the
other
respect
of
the
Queen
my
Mistress
was
like
to
continue
,
and
therefore
prayed
to
know
what
I
should
answer
,
he
said
I
should
have
answer
to
that
point
as
well
as
to
the
rest
,
in
writing
.
For
the
third
point
contained
in
my
written
proposition
,
he
hath
assented
thus
far
,
and
willed
me
so
to
certify
,
that
the
King
shall
by
proclamation
forbid
his
subjects
to
buy
or
provide
any
armes
,
munitions
,
or
materials
for
war
in
any
forrain
country
,
and
to
carry
them
into
any
country
except
France
.
And
if
this
be
liked
of
,
he
desired
th
'
articles
might
be
finished
and
put
into
a
forme
of
a
treaty
,
that
both
her
Majesty
and
the
King
might
figne
it
.
But
being
once
entred
into
this
argument
,
he
fell
into
bitter
exclamations
against
our
justice
,
and
told
me
(
as
the
King
had
likewise
done
the
day
before
)
that
the
Ambassador
had
written
,
that
though
the
Queen's
Majesty
had
given
him
all
contentment
and
promise
of
reformation
,
yet
he
found
all
was
stayed
by
other
means
,
and
that
he
should
be
forced
to
send
back
the
parties
that
sued
,
to
seek
remedie
here
.
I
told
him
,
I
feared
the
Ambassador
took
too
passionate
a
report
from
the
parties
themselves
,
who
measure
justice
but
by
their
own
affection
:
that
I
knew
her
Majesty
was
fully
bent
to
do
justice
,
but
it
may
be
there
was
some
stay
made
of
proceeding
in
the
course
she
had
established
,
till
it
might
be
seen
what
correspondance
they
yielded
here
:
that
the
Queen
had
already
established
a
commission
for
that
purpose
,
which
the
King
had
not
yet
done
;
and
till
they
were
as
forward
on
their
part
,
as
the
Queen
had
been
on
hers
,
they
had
no
reason
to
complain
,
for
princes
used
to
march
with
equal
paces
;
but
the
Queen
had
so
used
to
prevent
them
with
kindnes
,
that
it
seemed
they
looked
for
it
still
.
I
offered
if
he
would
give
me
the
particularities
of
his
complaints
,
I
would
write
of
it
.
He
answered
,
the
Ambassador
was
best
acquainted
with
the
particulars
,
and
prayed
me
only
to
write
in
General
,
that
there
might
be
good
justice
done
,
the
want
or
refusall
whereof
,
might
otherwise
interrupt
all
good
intentions
between
their
majesties
;
assuring
me
that
the
King
would
do
the
like
;
and
though
the
commission
was
not
established
,
that
he
would
cause
justice
to
be
done
upon
any
complaint
I
would
deliver
:
yet
if
the
Queen
stayed
upon
those
respects
,
or
any
other
,
about
the
intercourse
of
renewing
of
treaties
,
(
wherein
he
said
the
King
would
be
ready
to
meet
the
Queen
half
way
,)
he
desired
that
they
might
be
accelerated
,
and
that
we
might
begin
to
put
pen
to
paper
,
either
here
or
there
.
Hereupon
we
fell
into
some
speech
of
the
treaty
of
Blois
,
why
this
King
made
no
declaration
of
his
intention
to
continue
it
,
as
the
treaty
requires
.
He
said
the
King
made
account
it
had
been
sufficiently
confirmed
by
that
of
1596
,
and
if
it
were
not
,
the
King
was
willing
to
do
any
thing
that
might
be
to
the
confirmation
of
amity
and
intercourse
.
Thereupon
,
because
I
understood
by
Mr
.
Edmonds
he
had
already
dealt
with
the
King
and
him
for
an
exemption
for
our
English
merchants
du
droict
d
'
aubeine
,
which
is
very
greavous
unto
them
,
for
that
such
as
dye
here
lose
their
goods
without
remedie
,
not
having
power
by
will
to
dispose
of
them
;
I
urged
him
to
shew
some
token
of
the
King's
good
will
towards
our
nation
that
way
,
as
he
had
done
of
late
to
the
Low-country
men
,
who
had
not
better
deserved
of
him
,
than
ours
had
done
.
And
the
rather
to
induce
him
,
I
alleged
the
treaty
of
Blois
,
wherein
that
point
was
accorded
unto
us
.
He
answered
first
for
the
immunitie
granted
to
the
states
,
it
was
required
by
them
,
and
yielded
to
in
a
time
when
the
King
had
need
of
them
,
and
might
denye
them
nothing
.
To
which
I
replied
,
that
it
was
more
honor
for
the
King
to
requite
kindnes
with
kindnes
freely
,
than
to
do
all
things
by
the
way
of
bargain
:
that
the
Queen
had
dealt
like
an
honorable
princess
,
and
had
not
made
merchandise
of
her
favors
,
yet
she
had
reason
to
look
for
some
fruit
of
her
friendship
.
To
the
point
of
the
treaty
of
Blois
,
he
said
that
we
had
not
performed
it
on
our
part
,
I
asked
him
wherein
we
had
made
default
;
he
said
it
had
never
been
executed
,
but
the
intercourse
was
presently
discontinued
.
I
answer'd
,
that
was
not
our
fault
but
theirs
,
for
the
*
massacre
followed
immediately
,
wherein
our
men
were
murdered
,
and
their
goods
spoiled
,
without
any
justice
or
remedie
;
but
now
that
peace
was
established
,
and
our
men
began
to
revive
that
trade
into
these
parts
,
it
was
reasonable
they
should
enjoy
the
privileges
due
unto
them
by
the
treaty
.
To
this
he
only
answered
,
that
when
all
the
rest
was
agreed
on
,
this
would
easily
be
determined
,
but
to
single
it
from
the
rest
he
saw
no
reason
.
The
last
point
of
my
proposition
touching
Collesford
,
I
did
add
upon
information
from
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
of
the
daily
practices
of
that
man
to
draw
over
young
English
gentlemen
,
and
to
convey
them
to
Rome
:
wherein
I
am
to
advertize
your
honor
,
that
the
searchers
of
Sandwich
and
Dover
do
not
their
duties
,
but
are
daily
corrupted
as
I
am
informed
;
and
not
only
that
way
,
but
for
the
passage
over
of
geldings
,
which
from
thence
and
Rye
,
are
continually
shipped
over
in
good
plenty
.
I
had
some
speech
with
monsieur
Villeroy
about
the
Spanish
preparations
,
which
he
assured
me
upon
perfect
information
,
were
not
any
way
meet
to
attempt
an
invasion
,
but
only
to
be
used
for
defence
.
But
the
next
year
he
said
if
we
made
not
peace
,
he
thought
they
intended
some
attempt
upon
us
.
I
learned
both
by
the
King
and
him
,
that
+
coomans
,
who
was
employed
lately
into
England
from
the
cardinall
,
passed
this
way
within
these
few
daies
into
Spain
,
having
in
his
speech
with
the
King
professed
himself
as
it
were
an
enemy
to
the
Spaniards
,
but
a
Servant
of
the
Archduke's
,
and
a
great
wisher
of
peace
,
that
by
that
means
the
country
might
be
freed
from
the
spaniards
.
He
professes
himself
likewise
of
the
religion
,
and
was
present
the
last
Sunday
,
as
the
Duke
of
Bouillon
told
me
,
at
the
assembly
of
the
protestants
at
Grigny
five
leagues
from
Paris
towards
Fontainebleau
.
It
is
thought
he
goethe
to
work
the
King
of
Spain
to
be
more
inclinable
to
the
peace
,
whereunto
these
messieurs
,
both
Villeroy
and
others
,
would
fain
persuade
me
,
that
that
King
hath
no
inclination
,
but
is
only
contented
to
harken
unto
it
,
for
the
benefit
,
and
at
the
instance
of
the
cardinall
.
Touching
our
peace
with
Spain
,
they
pretend
here
in
words
to
be
very
desirous
of
it
,
that
we
might
have
rest
from
our
troubles
,
as
they
have
.
But
the
truth
is
they
are
jealous
of
it
,
and
I
think
it
sit
they
should
be
so
held
till
her
Majesty
be
resolved
:
and
in
the
mean
time
that
they
be
urged
instantly
to
whatsoever
her
Majesty
shall
think
sit
to
draw
from
them
:
for
it
is
not
good
nature
or
gratitude
,
but
interest
of
state
that
must
prevail
with
them
.
It
is
commonly
believed
,
that
if
it
were
not
for
the
war
with
England
,
the
King
of
Spain
would
easily
embark
himself
into
the
Duke
of
Savoy's
quarrel
:
so
as
if
her
Majesty
intend
any
peace
with
Spain
,
it
may
advantage
her
much
to
make
it
before
this
term
given
to
the
Duke
of
Savoy
expire
;
for
this
occasion
once
passed
,
there
is
no
likelihood
of
any
probable
occasion
of
breach
to
grow
between
them
in
haste
,
which
I
hold
very
sit
for
her
Majesty's
affairs
not
to
be
neglected
.
The
King
is
this
day
departed
from
Fontainebleau
,
minding
to
pass
his
time
at
monsieur
d
'
entrague's
house
,
and
sundrie
other
gentlemens
for
15
or
20
days
,
and
so
to
settle
at
Blois
,
where
he
intends
to
remain
a
month
or
two
,
till
he
proceede
towards
Lyons
.
I
do
not
yet
learn
of
any
order
given
to
the
ambassadors
to
follow
:
but
I
beseech
you
let
me
understand
her
Majesty's
direct
pleasure
in
it
,
for
I
am
very
desirous
to
conforme
my
self
thereunto
,
though
I
know
her
allowance
will
not
discharge
my
lodging
and
my
horses
,
besides
my
diet
and
other
charges
;
but
I
trust
for
my
horses
and
my
carriages
,
her
Majesty
will
be
pleased
to
allow
me
as
she
hath
done
all
other
ambassadors
in
like
cases
.
And
so
,
&
c
.
Your
honors
,
&
c
.

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
,
15th
June
1599
.
O.S
.
It
may
please
you
to
remember
,
that
at
one
of
the
last
times
I
waited
upon
you
,
I
desired
to
understand
as
much
of
her
Majesty's
General
intentions
as
she
would
be
pleased
to
think
me
worthy
to
be
trusted
with
;
to
the
end
I
matter
of
the
peace
with
Spain
;
wherein
I
am
bold
to
say
it
is
very
sit
I
should
understand
her
Majesty's
intention
and
purpose
in
generalitie
,
whether
she
be
desirous
to
make
peace
or
nay
;
for
if
she
be
not
,
then
will
it
be
sit
to
enlarge
and
assure
her
trade
in
other
places
as
much
as
may
be
,
and
namely
in
this
kingdom
;
it
will
be
sit
also
to
resolve
how
the
states
of
the
united
provinces
shall
be
inabled
to
subsist
,
either
by
her
means
alone
,
or
by
the
helpe
of
others
:
and
lastly
,
it
will
be
necessary
to
draw
as
much
assistance
from
hence
,
at
least
in
the
repayment
of
the
money
due
,
as
may
be
gotten
.
All
these
things
are
fittest
to
be
negotiated
here
,
whiles
matters
are
in
suspense
;
and
if
I
knew
her
Majesty's
intention
that
way
,
I
would
not
doubt
but
to
take
apt
time
,
not
only
to
discover
how
they
are
affected
here
,
but
to
draw
some
offers
from
them
,
and
that
tanquam
aliud
agens
;
and
so
it
should
come
of
them
,
and
not
of
me
,
which
were
the
best
way
of
negotiating
.
I
make
no
question
,
whatsoever
they
pretend
,
that
they
are
unwilling
this
peace
should
proceede
,
at
least
till
the
matter
of
the
Marquisat
be
determined
;
whiles
this
depends
therefore
will
be
the
fittest
time
to
draw
conditions
of
advantage
from
them
:
for
if
either
we
had
actually
broken
off
the
treaty
,
and
engaged
our
selves
into
the
war
;
or
if
they
were
out
of
doubt
of
recovering
the
Marquisat
,
they
would
soon
leave
us
to
our
selves
.
I
am
of
opinion
,
that
to
be
assured
that
this
war
should
be
continued
three
or
four
years
against
Spain
,
whiles
they
might
recover
themselves
in
state
to
stand
alone
,
they
might
be
drawn
,
first
,
to
repay
the
Queen
the
money
they
owe
her
,
by
a
yearly
payment
of
300000
crowns
,
or
some
such
sum
:
secondly
,
to
make
any
straight
league
defensive
with
her
,
that
she
would
require
:
thirdly
,
to
establish
a
free
trade
and
intercourse
for
her
subjects
into
these
parts
,
in
any
reasonable
sort
:
fourthly
,
to
assist
in
secret
manner
the
states
,
as
the
Queen
shall
think
necessary
.
All
which
would
be
best
negotiated
before
they
did
too
plainly
discover
her
Majesty's
intention
.
On
the
other
side
,
if
her
Majesty
be
desirous
to
make
a
peace
,
under
pretence
that
she
would
do
nothing
in
so
important
a
matter
,
without
the
advice
of
her
good
brother
and
allie
,
and
without
due
regard
unto
the
common
good
of
her
confederates
,
the
King's
mind
might
be
felt
how
he
stands
affected
to
it
;
what
conditions
he
would
advice
to
be
insisted
upon
,
both
as
touching
our
selves
,
and
especially
touching
the
states
,
if
they
join
in
the
peace
;
and
if
not
,
then
what
he
would
think
fittest
to
be
done
,
either
by
their
common
authoritie
to
over-rule
them
to
accept
the
peace
,
or
otherwise
,
by
common
means
to
maintain
them
;
and
how
far
he
would
engage
himself
therein
.
Withal
,
before
he
know
too
much
of
the
Queen's
mind
therein
,
this
matter
of
the
trade
of
our
merchants
,
would
be
established
with
as
great
advantage
and
freedom
from
new
exactions
,
as
might
be
obtained
in
virtue
of
former
treaties
,
or
otherwise
of
favor
;
which
is
one
of
the
chiefest
,
and
most
probable
fruits
,
her
Majesty
shall
reap
of
her
great
charges
here
.
And
for
the
money
due
by
him
to
her
Majesty
,
some
certain
course
would
be
likewise
urged
for
repayment
in
time
,
(
since
ready
payment
cannot
be
had
)
if
her
Majesty's
mind
were
understood
before-hand
what
I
should
demand
or
accept
;
for
otherwise
to
write
of
every
particular
,
and
expect
the
answer
,
will
but
prolong
the
time
till
the
opportunity
be
past
;
either
by
the
finishing
of
our
treaty
with
Spain
,
or
by
his
clearing
the
matter
of
the
Marquisat
.
As
in
this
particular
,
so
in
others
,
I
could
show
like
reason
why
it
should
be
necessary
for
me
to
understand
the
General
purpose
of
her
Majesty
in
those
matters
,
whereof
I
am
to
negotiate
any
part
or
circumstance
;
but
I
will
only
conclude
that
point
with
this
,
that
I
being
taken
into
the
work
,
and
having
a
part
of
the
building
committed
unto
me
,
if
I
be
not
acquainted
with
the
architect's
design
and
plot
of
the
whole
,
I
may
the
sooner
misse
of
the
proportion
and
uniformity
that
were
sit
.
This
I
have
made
bold
to
write
unto
your
honor
now
at
a
time
of
leisure
,
when
I
had
no
great
matter
to
trouble
you
with
;
and
finding
this
Messenger
otherwise
ready
to
depart
,
it
may
please
you
to
consider
of
it
as
you
see
cause
;
and
howsoever
you
judge
otherwise
,
I
beseech
you
to
excuse
my
boldnes
.
The
King
is
now
at
Orleans
,
gone
thither
of
purpose
,
as
it
is
said
,
to
establish
Monsieur
d'Entragues
in
that
government
;
it
seems
thereby
that
the
composition
is
already
made
about
his
daughter
,
and
that
this
is
the
first
effect
of
it
.
The
voyage
of
Blois
is
yet
very
uncertain
,
I
have
sent
one
of
purpose
to
the
court
to
bring
me
as
much
certainty
,
both
of
that
and
other
matters
,
as
he
can
learn
.
I
wrote
also
to
the
Duke
of
Bouillon
,
praying
him
to
deal
privately
with
the
King
about
her
Majesty's
money
;
and
likewise
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
to
know
when
the
King's
counsel
will
repair
unto
the
court
,
and
where
the
King
will
settle
,
that
I
might
attend
him
to
pursue
the
matter
my
self
.
The
court
of
parliament
made
an
arrest
upon
Saturday
last
,
to
suspend
the
execution
of
the
King's
edict
in
favor
of
the
religion
,
till
those
of
Rochelle
had
received
the
masse
.
They
of
the
religion
beyond
loyre
,
make
some
difficulty
likewise
to
accept
it
,
pretending
that
it
is
minced
,
and
pared
,
since
it
was
first
accorded
at
Nantes
.
In
sum
,
I
perceive
there
is
great
animosity
on
both
sides
,
and
it
seems
they
are
not
yet
grown
wise
by
their
long
miseries
,
especially
the
popish
side
,
who
cannot
dissemble
their
hatred
.
Since
my
coming
hither
,
the
deputies
of
the
assembly
at
Châtellerault
have
been
long
in
this
town
,
but
never
offred
any
communication
with
me
,
not
so
much
as
an
ordinary
visitation
:
and
for
my
part
I
thought
it
not
sit
to
offer
it
them
.
The
Duke
of
Bouillon
likewise
hath
seemed
to
avoid
me
as
it
were
of
purpose
,
insomuch
as
he
disappointed
two
assignations
he
had
given
me
of
meeting
at
his
own
lodging
,
and
one
at
mine
;
besides
his
putting
me
off
at
the
court
;
all
which
I
guesse
he
hath
done
,
fearing
the
King
might
conceive
some
jealousie
of
his
communication
with
me
but
by
this
means
,
he
and
I
never
mett
,
but
upon
the
high-way
between
Paris
and
Fountainebleau
.
I
did
therefore
write
unto
him
the
rather
,
to
discover
more
throughly
what
affection
he
bears
her
Majesty
,
and
what
foundation
I
might
make
of
him
.
Touching
the
Prince
of
Condé
,
I
suspect
the
matter
stands
not
with
him
as
your
honor
seemed
to
conceive
.
It
is
a
common
wish
here
that
the
King
would
marry
,
to
have
children
,
to
take
away
all
scruples
;
which
argueth
that
there
is
a
scruple
made
;
besides
I
hear
that
the
Prince
of
Conti
refused
to
assist
at
the
King
of
Spain's
funeralls
,
because
he
would
not
give
the
other
place
:
the
King
himself
likewise
hath
of
late
made
no
great
demonstration
towards
him
.
For
both
these
respects
I
judge
the
state
of
France
in
a
miserable
case
,
if
God
call
this
King
,
for
it
seems
there
is
a
farther
judgment
hanging
upon
them
.
There
is
no
certain
advertisement
yet
come
of
the
Archduke's
embarkation
.
Only
it
comes
confirmed
from
many
places
that
he
was
to
embark
the
5th
of
this
month
,
and
was
expected
at
Milan
the
15th
.
The
provisions
are
already
made
in
Burgundy
for
the
troops
which
came
down
with
him
,
but
he
himself
is
thought
will
take
the
way
of
Tyrol
,
for
the
commodity
of
the
coaches
.
It
is
delivered
here
from
good
hands
,
that
the
King
of
Spain's
assignation
unto
the
Archduke
,
is
of
250000
crowns
a
month
;
for
the
maintenance
of
the
wars
till
the
end
of
December
next
.
Many
conjecture
,
that
the
Archduke
is
in
the
mean
time
to
assure
his
estate
,
either
by
peace
,
or
success
in
war
;
and
that
the
King
of
Spain
will
not
charge
himself
any
further
with
the
defence
of
those
countries
.
But
in
my
poor
opinion
,
Spain
hath
reserved
too
great
an
interest
in
them
,
and
too
great
a
possibilitie
of
reverting
,
to
abandon
the
care
of
them
so
soon
,
and
so
lightly
.
I
*
understand
,
that
there
is
a
great
breache
grown
between
the
Pope
,
and
the
constable
of
castile
governor
of
Milan
,
for
encroaching
upon
the
Archbishop's
jurisdiction
there
;
and
that
the
Pope
hath
personally
cited
the
governor
to
appear
at
Rome
about
it
.
Otwell
Smythe
a
merchant
residing
at
Rouen
,
well
known
as
I
suppose
to
your
honor
,
was
lately
at
Nantes
:
where
I
gave
him
instructions
to
learn
what
he
could
of
the
Spanish
preparations
;
and
likewise
of
the
corn
already
carryed
,
or
intended
to
be
carryed
into
Spain
.
For
the
first
,
he
faith
,
he
spake
with
a
French
merchant
very
lately
come
out
of
Spain
,
who
had
traveled
150
leagues
along
the
coast
there
:
who
affirms
,
that
the
preparations
are
to
the
number
of
150
sayle
of
ships
,
whereof
12
galleons
,
between
8
and
900
tuns
apeece
;
that
the
common
speech
is
,
that
after
they
have
fought
with
the
Hollanders
and
beaten
them
,
(
whereof
they
make
no
doubt
)
they
are
to
go
presently
for
Ireland
.
This
advertisement
,
although
I
see
no
reason
to
credit
,
yet
I
thought
not
good
altogether
to
contemn
it
,
and
thereupon
went
this
day
to
monsieur
de
Bellièvre
;
who
assures
me
,
he
neither
understands
,
nor
believes
any
such
thing
;
and
that
the
King
is
advertised
altogether
otherwise
:
that
it
is
thought
rather
,
they
will
not
dare
to
meet
the
Hollanders
;
for
besides
the
galleons
,
all
the
rest
are
ships
of
small
burden
and
strength
,
being
taken
up
as
he
could
get
them
;
and
the
most
of
them
French
ships
,
whereof
he
told
me
there
were
not
able
above
five
to
render
any
fight
.
For
the
matter
of
corn
,
they
do
likewise
vary
:
Otwell
Smythe
affirming
by
his
intelligence
,
that
there
is
such
plenty
brought
thither
,
as
it
bears
no
price
;
and
the
other
maintaining
that
there
is
exceeding
scarcity
there
.
Whiles
I
was
with
monsieur
de
believre
this
day
,
there
came
in
the
Pope's
Nuncio
Bishop
of
Modena
,
between
whom
and
me
there
passed
no
manner
of
compliments
;
but
by
that
occasion
I
broke
off
with
Monsieur
de
Bellièvre
sooner
than
I
would
;
only
he
promised
me
,
that
if
he
received
any
further
advertisement
of
those
points
we
had
talked
of
,
he
would
forthwith
acquaint
me
with
it
,
or
any
thing
els
that
might
concerne
the
Queen
my
Mistress
;
acknowledging
the
King's
great
obligation
to
her
,
and
the
common
interest
that
each
had
in
the
other's
well
doing
.
Of
the
siege
of
Bommel
he
told
me
assuredly
it
was
withdrawn
,
but
told
me
they
had
received
but
very
little
certainty
from
thence
of
late
.
He
said
further
,
he
had
received
this
day
advertisements
,
that
the
German
princes
were
entered
with
forces
into
Cleves
,
with
a
purpose
to
dislodge
the
Spanish
garrisons
that
were
left
there
.
I
send
your
honor
here
enclosed
,
a
letter
received
lately
from
Mr
.
Lock
.
Mr
.
Edmonds
I
suppose
hath
advertised
you
of
the
stay
of
monsieur
le
grand's
journey
,
and
that
monsieur
le
motte
fenelon
was
appointed
for
that
service
;
since
,
I
hear
he
likewise
excuses
himself
,
by
reason
of
his
age
and
weaknes
:
but
thereof
I
shall
learn
more
at
the
return
of
him
I
sent
to
the
court
.
I
send
your
honor
likewise
herewith
,
two
letters
I
received
from
Charles
Paget
and
Tresham
,
which
I
could
not
well
avoid
to
receive
;
it
may
please
your
honor
either
to
take
knowledge
of
them
,
or
suppress
them
,
as
you
please
.
Touching
the
20000
crowns
,
I
doubt
not
but
Mr
.
Edmonds
hath
advertised
you
what
their
answer
is
,
viz
.
That
it
shall
be
ready
,
whensoever
the
bonds
be
sent
over
hither
.
I
am
in
hope
very
shortly
to
hear
from
your
honor
how
I
shall
further
proceed
in
the
matters
I
have
written
of
.
And

Sir

Right
honorable

Paris

21th

O

S

THIS
bearer
Coombes
offering
himself
so
opportunely
unto
me
,
though
I
were
not
fully
ready
for
a
dispatch
,
yet
I
would
not
let
him
pass
without
a
word
or
two
,
to
let
your
honor
understand
that
I
have
received
your
letter
of
the
9th
of
this
month
,
the
answer
whereof
I
refer
till
the
coming
of
your
dispatch
which
you
promise
therein
,
for
my
full
direction
in
those
matters
I
have
written
of
.
The
King
came
to
this
town
upon
Sunday
last
,
and
goeth
not
away
till
Saturday
or
Monday
;
I
have
made
means
to
have
access
unto
him
,
but
I
have
yet
no
answer
,
and
I
fear
I
shall
scarce
obtain
it
,
because
he
is
here
only
for
his
pleasure
.
He
dined
the
first
day
he
came
at
Monsieur
D'Entragues's
house
,
and
this
day
he
feasts
all
that
company
at
the
Tuileries
.
I
have
sought
to
speak
with
monsieur
Villeroy
,
but
he
hath
shunned
me
as
it
seem
of
purpose
;
for
yesterday
after
I
sent
him
word
of
my
coming
,
he
went
to
his
house
at
Conflans
within
a
league
of
this
town
,
where
he
pretends
to
take
physic
,
and
will
give
access
to
no
man
.
But
I
have
written
to
him
,
to
put
him
in
mind
,
that
this
were
a
very
sit
time
to
begin
to
consult
of
giving
me
satisfaction
in
the
matter
I
have
proposed
,
seeing
the
King
is
in
the
town
,
and
the
principal
of
the
counsel
about
him
,
and
namely
,
those
of
the
finances
,
with
whom
he
must
chiefly
advice
in
a
matter
of
that
quality
.
At
least
I
prayed
them
,
if
their
leisure
served
them
not
to
consult
of
it
now
,
to
take
order
to
make
all
searches
and
verifications
that
were
requisite
;
that
when
I
came
to
treat
with
the
King's
counsel
of
that
hereafter
,
I
may
not
be
put
off
upon
any
such
matter
,
that
can
be
dispatched
no
where
but
here
.
I
will
send
again
to
morrow
unto
him
,
and
if
I
can
by
any
means
,
I
will
speak
with
him
my
self
.
The
King's
journey
to
Blois
is
now
resolved
,
and
he
appoints
to
be
there
upon
the
first
or
second
of
July
,
where
I
purpose
also
to
meet
him
;
and
hope
in
this
mean
time
to
receive
your
honor's
full
direction
how
I
shall
proceed
in
all
things
,
and
namely
,
touching
the
contents
of
my
last
letter
sent
by
Peter
Brown
.
I
hear
the
Archduke
and
the
Infanta
are
arrived
in
Italy
;
and
it
is
thought
he
will
make
more
haste
than
he
first
intended
,
being
thereunto
provoked
by
many
messages
from
the
Low
Countries
,
which
seem
to
need
his
presence
very
much
:
by
reason
of
the
great
dissensions
among
the
principal
commanders
there
,
and
the
discontentment
of
the
Spaniards
;
who
return
daily
homeward
through
France
in
great
numbers
,
saying
,
they
will
serve
no
man
but
their
King
.
The
plague
is
exceeding
great
in
Spain
,
not
only
in
Lisbon
,
which
is
wholly
desolated
by
it
,
but
in
many
other
parts
of
Spain
,
as
namely
in
Aragon
and
Catalonia
.
It
is
commonly
believed
here
,
and
that
by
the
King's
counsel
,
that
the
Spaniards
are
not
able
to
issue
out
to
fight
with
the
States
'
navy
,
but
keep
their
fleet
within
the
harbor
of
Ferrol
,
and
other
places
,
where
they
have
fortified
themselves
.
By
my
next
,
your
honor
shall
understand
some
matters
of
importance
.
In
The
mean
time
,
beseeching
your
honor
I
may
be
informed
what
customs
and
impositions
have
been
raised
upon
foreign
merchants
in
England
;
and
namely
upon
the
French
,
since
the
year
1572
:
or
what
restraints
have
been
made
for
bringing
thither
the
commodities
of
this
country
;
which
will
be
material
for
me
to
know
,
when
I
shall
treat
with
the
counsel
here
;
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
,
&
c

HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
27th
June
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
have
heretofore
signified
unto
your
honor
,
that
Charles
Paget
,
and
one
Tresham
,
had
desired
access
unto
me
,
and
I
have
sent
you
a
letter
from
Paget
unto
me
,
and
from
th'other
unto
your
honor
,
whereby
you
may
perceive
what
their
desire
is
.
I
have
sought
since
,
to
inform
myself
,
as
much
as
I
might
,
concerning
their
carriage
in
former
times
,
and
the
cause
of
their
retiring
hither
;
and
I
find
that
there
hath
grown
great
dissension
,
between
our
papists
abroad
,
and
that
they
have
been
divided
into
two
factions
,
the
one
depending
upon
the
Jesuits
,
whereof
Parsons
is
now
the
head
,
whose
courses
have
been
violent
to
seek
and
wish
the
overthrow
of
the
present
estate
,
by
conquest
,
or
any
other
means
;
the
other
consisting
chiefly
of
the
laymen
and
gentlemen
which
are
abroad
,
whereof
Charles
Paget
hath
been
the
chief
;
who
could
not
be
brought
,
as
they
pretend
,
to
consent
,
or
concur
,
to
the
invasion
and
conquest
of
our
kingdom
by
a
foreign
Prince
.
This
division
began
amongst
them
,
soon
after
the
death
of
the
Queen
of
Scots
,
upon
whom
they
did
all
concur
whiles
she
lived
;
but
since
her
death
,
could
never
agree
upon
any
one
course
,
either
of
conquest
or
proposed
title
.
And
this
contention
hath
proceeded
unto
great
heat
between
them
,
insomuch
as
either
side
hath
labored
to
supplant
and
disgrace
the
other
;
but
especially
of
late
,
since
the
title
of
the
Infanta
of
Spain
hath
been
set
on
foot
,
according
to
the
books
written
by
Parsons
under
one
Doleman's
name
.
For
the
Jesuit's
side
promoting
that
title
by
all
means
,
and
taking
a
violent
course
to
urge
all
Englishmen
either
in
Spain
,
or
Rome
,
or
where
else
they
may
prevail
with
them
,
to
subscribe
thereunto
;
Paget
and
his
side
have
directly
opposed
themselves
,
both
by
word
and
writing
,
as
I
am
informed
;
and
they
are
so
divided
thereupon
,
as
there
is
an
extreme
hatred
grown
between
them
:
insomuch
,
as
these
men
do
openly
inveigh
against
Parsons
and
his
adherents
,
as
men
seditious
and
factious
,
full
of
treacherie
,
and
without
conscience
.
And
being
questioned
with
,
by
such
as
I
appointed
to
confer
with
them
,
to
know
,
what
service
they
would
,
or
could
do
to
her
Majesty
,
to
cancel
their
former
faults
;
they
propose
this
as
the
chief
and
principal
,
that
they
shall
be
able
so
to
discover
these
practices
,
and
decipher
not
only
to
her
Majesty
,
but
to
the
papists
of
England
,
(
who
now
through
ignorance
of
their
intentions
,
believe
too
much
upon
them
,)
as
should
work
a
General
dislike
and
detestation
of
them
,
and
take
away
that
credit
which
now
they
have
,
and
daily
employ
,
to
the
danger
of
her
Majesty's
estate
.
Being
urged
to
give
some
present
taste
of
their
loyal
affection
to
her
Majesty
,
which
they
so
greatly
pretend
,
thereby
the
better
to
incline
her
Majesty
to
some
compassion
or
regard
of
them
;
they
only
discover
thus
much
in
generality
,
that
there
are
great
numbers
of
jesuits
and
priests
now
in
England
,
and
one
of
them
says
,
at
the
least
600
,
which
have
their
diet
and
maintenance
in
certain
houses
by
turn
.
Their
ordinary
way
of
repair
thither
,
is
through
Scotland
,
and
so
into
the
north
parts
.
They
also
accuse
some
officers
of
the
ports
,
and
namely
,
those
of
Gravesend
,
for
suffering
too
free
passage
out
of
England
;
whence
there
come
daily
young
men
over
,
which
are
presently
conveyed
to
the
colleges
at
Douay
,
or
Rome
,
and
from
thence
some
of
them
against
their
wills
,
into
Spain
;
and
many
forced
to
profess
themselves
of
some
order
or
other
,
when
they
meant
it
not
.
They
also
think
,
that
this
subscription
beforementioned
,
is
laboured
in
England
,
by
those
jesuits
and
priests
that
are
there
.
But
being
pressed
to
some
more
particular
discovery
,
their
answer
is
,
they
will
reserve
that
,
till
they
see
what
hope
there
is
of
obtaining
their
suit
:
and
Paget
says
,
he
had
almost
been
undone
by
some
advertisements
he
wrote
over
out
of
the
low
countries
,
which
makes
him
very
wary
not
to
bereave
himself
of
all
means
of
living
on
this
side
the
sea
with
safety
,
till
he
may
be
assured
of
a
safe
retreat
there
.
There
is
also
in
this
town
,
one
*
Cecil
a
Priest
,
who
professes
the
same
intention
and
desire
with
them
;
and
the
like
they
affirm
to
be
in
almost
all
the
English
gentlemen
in
the
Low-Countries
,
except
Sir
William
Stanley
,
and
Owen
,
and
some
3
or
4
more
.
All
this
I
thought
sit
to
advertise
,
and
although
I
am
not
worthy
,
nor
intend
to
presume
to
give
any
advice
in
the
matter
,
yet
I
will
be
bold
to
propose
unto
your
honor's
consideration
,
these
three
points
.
First
,
whether
it
may
not
advantage
her
Majesty's
affairs
,
and
be
without
prejudice
to
her
;
by
retiring
of
two
or
three
of
them
,
to
make
trial
of
their
true
meaning
,
and
of
the
service
they
are
able
to
do
her
Majesty
,
that
way
which
they
pretend
,
or
otherwise
by
any
discovery
;
considering
,
that
when
they
are
drawn
home
,
they
will
be
engaged
and
enforced
to
keep
their
credit
there
,
and
will
not
dare
to
double
with
you
,
for
here
will
be
no
place
for
them
.
And
I
see
there
are
in
this
country
,
none
more
forward
in
observance
to
this
King
,
than
such
as
had
most
to
do
with
Spain
during
the
league
,
having
made
themselves
irreconcilable
,
as
they
conceive
,
unto
that
side
;
which
reason
may
likewise
prevail
in
these
fugitives
of
ours
.
Secondly
,
whether
it
be
not
convenient
,
that
such
priests
or
notorious
recusants
as
shall
be
hereafter
apprehended
,
be
severely
examined
,
whether
they
have
not
solicited
others
,
or
been
solicited
themselves
,
to
subscribe
to
that
title
of
the
Infanta
.
And
lastly
,
whether
it
will
not
be
sit
,
when
you
shall
come
to
treat
with
the
Archduke
,
to
insist
upon
an
article
,
of
the
Infanta's
resignation
of
any
pretended
title
;
according
to
the
example
practised
in
the
+
treaty
with
the
Scottish
Queen
,
in
the
beginning
of
her
Majesty's
reign
.
Which
if
she
refuse
,
will
more
discover
the
certainty
of
these
informations
,
and
if
she
assent
unto
it
,
will
both
dissolve
the
plot
intended
,
and
give
satisfaction
to
some
who
have
taken
too
hot
an
alarm
of
it
,
and
to
prevent
it
,
have
almost
precipitated
themselves
into
dangerous
counsels
both
to
themselves
and
us
;
I
mean
f
.
150
.
The
King
of
Scotland
,
whereof
I
shall
be
able
to
certify
you
more
,
ere
it
be
long
.
Howsoever
her
Majesty
resolves
of
the
rest
,
I
beseech
your
honor
to
direct
me
how
I
shall
carry
my
self
towards
these
men
;
for
I
perceive
they
will
continue
to
seek
to
have
access
unto
me
,
and
will
look
at
length
for
some
other
answer
then
I
have
hitherto
given
them
,
which
hath
been
only
dilatory
,
that
in
the
mean
time
I
might
understand
her
Majesty's
full
pleasure
.
For
Tresham
,
I
was
bold
after
I
had
seen
his
letter
,
to
send
it
to
your
honor
,
because
he
had
not
offended
in
so
deep
a
degree
,
as
some
others
,
to
my
knowledge
;
and
withal
,
seems
to
march
with
less
cunning
than
the
rest
,
and
to
stand
upon
no
conditions
but
of
humble
submission
and
pardon
.
+
I
have
been
acquainted
with
a
I
.
Dwufrmshmfd
negotiation
of
the
Lord
of
q
,
crauntu
ogilby
,
from
f
.
150
.
The
King
of
Scotland
x
.
Erdo
with
c
100
the
King
of
Spain
,
in
the
year
1598
.
There
are
points
of
great
importance
contained
in
it
.
And
if
your
honor
have
not
seen
it
,
I
think
I
shall
be
able
to
procure
a
copy
of
it
.
I
humbly
thank
your
honor
for
your
promise
of
favor
,
if
I
should
be
occasioned
to
follow
the
King
to
Lyons
;
it
would
be
a
very
extraordinary
charge
,
and
such
as
no
Ambassador
hath
had
since
the
Queen's
time
,
and
therefore
I
trust
will
find
some
consideration
.
And
so
,

c
.
Your
honors

HENRY
NEVILLE

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr

Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
29th
June
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
send
your
honor
herewith
,
a
copy
of
the
memorial
delivered
to
the
Pope
on
the
part
of
this
King
,
touching
the
Marquisat
of
Saluces
;
I
am
put
in
hope
of
that
which
was
presented
likewise
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy's
part
.
That
matter
is
now
almost
dead
in
speech
here
,
these
men
making
themselves
in
a
manner
sure
,
that
it
will
be
adjudged
and
delivered
them
,
in
the
end
of
the
term
limited
.
But
I
had
conference
lately
with
r
.
162
.
Monsieur
de
Bellièvre
,
who
concurred
in
opinion
with
me
,
that
it
was
of
so
great
importance
to
the
affairs
of
Spain
in
Italy
,
that
it
was
not
likely
to
be
so
lightly
passed
over
.
Surely
,
if
the
Duke
set
a
good
face
upon
it
,
this
King
will
linger
the
matter
,
rather
than
attempt
any
thing
by
open
force
;
for
it
is
both
contrary
to
his
own
humor
,
and
the
counsel
of
such
as
most
governe
him
,
to
interrupt
his
peace
and
pleasure
.
At
that
conference
,
r
.
162
.
Monsieur
de
Bellièvre
entered
into
a
large
and
serious
discourse
to
me
,
how
necessary
it
was
,
both
for
a
100
.
The
Queen
,
z
.
Ubp
.
And
6
.
120
.
The
French
King
,
that
they
should
continue
united
in
amity
and
common
interests
,
and
especially
in
the
maintenance
of
a
.
120
.
The
united
provinces
;
for
that
otherwyse
,
being
abandoned
,
they
must
needs
fall
into
the
hands
of
c
.
100
.
The
King
of
Spain
,
which
could
not
but
prove
in
short
time
exceeding
dangerous
.
I
answered
,
that
a
.
100
.
The
Queen
had
alone
sustained
these
many
years
,
the
brunt
of
their
defence
,
and
of
the
impeaching
of
the
ambitious
deseigns
of
the
King
of
Spain
;
and
that
this
honor
could
not
be
denied
her
,
that
she
alone
had
been
the
buckler
of
Christendom
against
his
intended
monarchie
;
but
that
she
might
now
very
well
challenge
some
liberty
of
ease
and
rest
unto
her
self
,
and
put
over
the
burden
to
some
other
princes
,
who
had
rested
themselves
,
and
gathered
rest
and
vigor
during
her
travails
;
and
by
her
assistance
,
were
now
grown
in
state
able
to
bear
it
.
He
confessed
it
to
be
true
,
and
seemed
to
blame
their
carelesnes
;
but
it
was
not
enough
,
he
said
,
to
begiune
well
,
except
she
did
continue
:
and
that
otherwise
,
the
fruit
of
all
that
had
been
done
,
would
be
lost
,
at
least
for
the
time
to
come
.
I
said
,
that
in
generality
,
I
was
sure
the
counsels
and
resolutions
of
the
Queen
would
be
(
as
they
had
been
ever
)
wise
,
and
honorable
;
but
for
the
particularitie
,
I
could
not
answer
what
she
was
resolved
to
do
;
only
I
thought
she
would
not
respect
her
own
good
alone
,
but
would
have
a
due
regard
unto
the
good
of
her
confederates
,
as
far
forthe
,
as
her
honor
and
safety
would
permit
.
The
*
Master
of
Gray
hath
been
twise
with
me
since
my
coming
hither
,
of
whom
I
must
be
bold
to
write
that
I
received
no
great
satisfaction
any
way
;
I
take
him
to
be
hollow
and
venal
,
and
his
own
words
seem
to
import
no
less
;
for
he
said
,
he
was
free
,
and
owed
no
respect
or
service
to
any
Prince
,
further
than
they
should
give
him
cause
.
His
advertisements
are
surely
but
mean
,
and
he
seems
to
be
very
credulous
to
receive
and
believe
them
,
without
any
great
examinations
.
I
am
sure
he
delivered
some
unto
me
that
were
both
untrue
,
and
utterly
improbable
.
If
your
honor
entertain
any
intelligence
with
him
,
you
shall
better
discover
him
than
I
;
but
for
any
thing
I
have
seen
in
him
,
I
would
not
think
him
a
man
worthy
to
lose
much
upon
.
Th
'
arrest
of
this
court
of
parliament
,
to
stay
the
execution
of
the
edict
,
(
whereof
I
wrote
to
your
honor
in
any
letter
by
Peter
Browne
)
is
said
not
to
have
been
difinitively
pronounced
,
but
only
resolved
upon
,
and
since
stayed
by
the
King's
authoritie
.
But
I
believe
rather
the
former
report
,
because
when
I
used
some
means
to
the
greffier
to
have
a
copy
of
the
arrest
,
he
did
not
deny
that
there
was
any
such
,
but
said
he
durst
not
give
any
copy
of
it
.
I
wrote
unto
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
as
I
signified
unto
your
honor
,
and
likewise
unto
the
Duke
of
Bouillon
,
when
the
King
was
at
Orleans
.
I
received
good
General
words
from
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
that
he
would
employ
his
best
means
and
credit
,
to
procure
the
Queen's
Majesty
contentment
,
when
the
counsel
should
be
assembled
about
the
King
.
From
the
Duke
of
Bouillon
I
received
this
answer
,
that
he
had
imparted
my
letter
to
the
King
,
who
had
answered
,
that
his
estate
was
very
needy
,
but
that
he
would
strayne
himself
to
surmount
all
difficulties
to
give
her
some
contentment
.
The
Duke
is
since
gone
to
the
baths
of
Pouges
,
and
is
not
to
return
this
month
or
six
weeks
.
In
perusing
the
copies
of
the
King's
bonds
and
contracts
,
I
find
there
is
a
bond
for
20000l
.
For
the
intertaynment
of
the
2000
soldiers
in
Picardy
,
for
six
months
,
and
after
those
six
months
,
I
find
by
the
contract
,
that
the
King
was
to
pay
them
;
but
I
understand
,
that
they
contioued
here
near
18
months
,
and
at
the
Queen's
charge
all
the
while
;
so
that
I
am
to
demand
,
if
it
be
so
,
almost
40000l
.
More
:
I
beseech
your
honor
therefore
,
let
me
be
perfectly
informed
how
long
they
stay'd
,
and
how
much
her
Majesty's
charge
amounted
to
,
for
their
whole
intertainement
;
and
likewise
touching
the
charge
of
the
forces
sent
over
with
my
Lord
Willoughby
,
and
the
20000l
.
Disbursed
by
Sir
Horatio
Pallavicini
,
for
the
levying
of
the
German
army
,
in
the
year
1588
;
and
the
30000l
.
Lent
in
the
year
1587
.
I
humbly
pray
to
have
some
verification
attested
under
your
honor's
hand
,
for
I
hope
,
that
with
importunity
,
I
shall
at
last
extort
some
reason
from
these
men
;
and
the
more
I
am
able
to
charge
them
with
,
the
greater
present
or
yearly
satisfaction
,
they
must
in
reason
offer
.
The
King
is
yet
in
this
town
,
but
tomorrow
purposes
to
go
towards
Monceaux
,
from
thence
to
Fontainebleau
,
and
so
to
Orleans
,
where
his
counsel
are
appointed
to
meet
him
.
But
whether
he
will
settle
there
,
or
go
to
Blois
,
is
not
yet
certain
,
for
he
chaungeth
his
determination
every
day
.
I
used
what
means
I
could
,
both
by
m
.
Villeroy
,
and
otherwise
,
to
have
had
audience
,
but
could
not
obtain
it
,
nor
any
of
th
'
other
ambassadors
;
the
King
pretending
,
that
he
came
hither
privately
,
to
pass
his
time
meerly
,
and
would
not
same
effect
;
but
he
entreated
me
to
have
patience
till
the
King
came
to
Blois
or
Orleans
,
I
used
what
means
I
could
,
both
by
M
.
Villeroy
,
and
otherwise
,
to
have
had
audience
,
but
could
not
obtain
it
,
nor
any
of
th
'
other
ambassadors
;
the
King
pretending
,
that
he
came
hither
privately
,
to
pass
his
time
meerly
,
and
would
not
therefore
be
troubled
with
affairs
.
But
I
wrote
unto
M
.
De
Villeroy
as
I
signified
in
my
last
,
and
spake
with
him
afterwards
at
his
house
at
Conflans
,
to
the
Orleans
,
geving
me
very
good
comfort
,
that
somewhat
would
be
done
there
for
her
Majesty's
contentment
.
We
had
some
speech
of
the
peace
with
Spain
,
wherin
I
assured
him
I
knew
no
more
then
I
had
already
communicated
unto
the
King
,
and
him
.
I
put
him
in
mind
of
the
promises
the
King
had
made
to
her
Majesty
by
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
soon
after
your
honor's
return
out
of
these
parts
:
and
told
him
,
I
I
thought
which
way
soever
her
Majesty
resolved
in
the
matter
,
she
would
not
forget
to
claime
and
embrace
those
kind
offers
of
the
King's
towards
her
.
He
said
,
I
might
boldly
assure
her
Majesty
,
the
King
would
perform
whatsoever
he
had
offred
,
and
would
ever
make
a
difference
between
her
friendship
,
and
any
other
Prince's
in
the
world
.
I
said
the
King
had
made
very
good
trial
of
the
difference
of
the
Queen's
intentions
,
and
those
of
other
princes
,
and
therefore
I
did
not
doubt
,
but
he
would
discerne
and
esteeme
of
their
friendship
accordingly
.
We
spake
likewise
of
the
matter
of
our
merchants
,
and
settling
of
a
good
intercourse
between
us
;
wherein
he
assured
me
I
should
find
the
King
as
forward
,
as
I
would
desire
.
Your
honor
sees
how
they
are
now
disposed
,
it
may
be
they
will
not
always
be
so
,
for
I
do
not
altogether
impute
it
to
good
nature
in
them
;
but
I
think
her
Majesty
may
now
make
some
good
use
of
them
,
if
she
be
so
pleased
.
Touching
the
States
'
navy
,
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
had
received
no
intelligence
at
all
,
what
they
did
,
or
where
they
were
;
but
on
the
other
side
he
assured
me
,
there
was
no
preparation
to
encounter
them
at
sea
.
Of
the
Archduke's
arrival
in
Italy
,
there
is
this
only
of
certainty
,
that
he
is
passed
by
Marseilles
;
for
so
much
the
Duke
of
Guise
hath
delivered
,
who
came
hither
in
post
since
his
passage
,
but
further
monsieur
de
Villeroy
hath
not
understood
;
yet
there
be
particular
men
,
that
pretend
to
have
letters
of
it
out
of
Italy
.
The
Duke
of
Mantua
is
lately
arrived
at
the
Spa
,
which
is
thought
to
be
but
a
pretext
of
his
coming
,
and
that
the
true
cause
is
to
take
the
charge
of
the
army
at
the
Archduke's
return
.
Yet
I
hear
that
the
Marquis
of
Burgau
,
the
cardinall
andrea's
brother
,
is
likewise
come
down
,
and
as
it
is
conjectured
,
for
the
same
purpose
.
The
Spanish
commanders
have
been
at
some
dissension
among
themselves
,
insomuch
as
la
berlotte
was
committed
prisoner
for
two
days
,
but
is
since
delivered
,
and
retired
to
a
house
he
hath
near
Brussels
.
The
ordinary
advertisements
hither
do
import
,
that
the
Spanish
army
is
in
great
want
of
all
things
necessary
,
but
especially
of
resolution
,
what
to
do
,
or
attempt
.
There
was
a
letter
lately
imparted
unto
me
which
came
from
Cologne
,
wherein
,
touching
the
attempt
of
the
German
princes
,
there
are
these
words
:
les
jesuits
esperent
que
ces
choses
de
allemaigne
ne
feront
rien
,
mais
j'spere
le
contraire
,
&
que
les
cercles
venans
Ã
faillir
,
ung
autre
Prince
alleman
sera
Ã
ce
qui
emporte
.
Some
guess
it
is
meant
by
the
Landgrave
of
Hesse
.
The
same
letter
makes
mention
,
that
the
Spaniards
have
voluntarily
retired
their
garrisons
out
of
Rees
,
Rheinberg
,
and
Gennep
,
thinking
thereby
to
appease
the
germans
,
which
are
not
so
contented
,
but
stand
upon
three
other
points
.
First
,
that
they
may
be
assured
that
the
like
insolency
shall
be
no
more
committed
.
Secondly
,
that
recompence
be
made
for
the
damage
which
the
subjects
of
the
empire
have
sustained
.
Thirdly
,
that
forasmuch
as
for
want
of
satisfaction
in
time
,
the
princes
have
been
enforced
both
to
assemble
often
,
and
finally
to
take
armes
,
they
may
be
resimboursed
of
such
charges
,
as
they
have
fustayned
for
that
cause
.
The
voyage
of
monsieur
de
la
motte
fenelon
into
Spain
is
now
concluded
at
last
,
and
accepted
by
him
,
and
he
is
to
depart
within
8
or
10
days
.
I
have
solicited
monsieur
de
Villeroy
touching
Mr
.
Lock
,
who
hath
assured
me
he
will
perform
effectually
what
he
hath
heretofore
promised
your
honor
by
Mr
.
Edmonds
.
I
understand
the
Duke
of
cleve
hath
lately
married
the
Duke
of
lorraine's
daughter
.
There
happened
upon
Corpus
Christi
day
last
at
Limoges
,
a
matter
which
doth
easily
discover
the
passion
and
malice
yet
remaining
in
the
popish
side
here
,
against
the
protestants
.
Certain
priests
themselves
went
into
the
Church
in
the
night
,
and
brake
down
some
images
,
and
(
as
they
say
)
cast
the
sacrament
about
the
Church
.
In
the
morning
,
the
people
assembling
,
a
great
exclamation
was
made
by
the
priests
of
this
outrage
,
and
some
principal
men
of
the
religion
in
that
town
,
charged
by
name
to
be
the
doers
of
it
.
The
people
by
and
by
grew
in
fury
,
and
would
have
proceeded
to
the
present
execution
of
them
;
taking
armes
as
I
am
informed
for
that
purpose
,
and
the
other
side
arming
themselves
likewise
for
their
defence
.
Monsieur
de
salignac
,
governor
of
the
town
arriving
,
and
examining
the
matter
,
found
that
one
of
the
religion
was
charged
by
name
to
have
been
an
actor
in
it
,
who
had
been
in
his
company
all
that
night
.
Whereupon
suspecting
the
matter
,
he
caused
some
of
the
principal
accusers
to
be
severely
examined
,
and
namely
one
offered
to
depose
,
that
he
had
seen
this
man
there
,
whom
monsieur
de
salignac
knew
to
be
absent
;
and
threatening
him
with
the
torture
,
drew
the
confession
from
him
of
the
whole
practise
;
and
that
they
had
done
it
,
to
the
intent
to
have
moved
the
people
to
a
sedition
,
and
to
have
cut
the
throats
of
them
of
the
religion
.
Hereupon
some
of
them
were
apprehended
,
and
some
fled
.
What
justice
will
be
done
hereupon
is
much
expected
.
This
matter
will
be
disguised
I
am
sure
to
your
honor
by
the
French
Ambassador
;
but
this
is
the
truth
of
it
,
as
I
received
it
from
Monsieur
de
Bellièvre
,
of
whose
sincerity
I
find
more
cause
daily
to
believe
,
than
in
Monsieur
de
Villeroy's
;
who
when
I
was
with
him
at
Conflans
,
denied
that
there
was
any
such
matter
at
all
,
and
since
hath
sought
to
dignify
it
to
me
as
much
as
he
could
,
suppressing
all
that
toucheth
the
priests
.
Your
honor
understandeth
by
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
that
they
require
to
have
the
Duke
of
Bouillon's
and
Monsieur
de
Sancy's
bond
for
the
6000l
.
To
be
sent
over
hither
,
and
that
thereupon
they
will
pay
the
money
.
It
may
be
that
if
I
obtain
payment
of
any
more
,
they
will
require
the
like
;
which
I
suppose
her
Majesty
will
not
greatly
stand
upon
,
although
in
truth
the
King
be
bound
by
contract
to
pay
the
money
in
London
.
When
the
6000l
.
Is
payed
,
your
honor
I
hope
will
direct
me
what
course
shall
be
taken
,
for
the
convaying
or
making
it
over
.
If
any
great
sum
be
obtained
,
methinks
the
King
might
be
urged
to
delyver
it
at
Dieppe
,
and
there
some
of
the
Queen's
ships
to
be
ready
to
transport
it
:
and
if
some
of
it
be
in
silver
,
there
will
be
no
great
loss
,
and
perhaps
not
so
much
as
to
make
it
over
by
exchange
,
besides
the
difficulty
of
returning
any
great
sum
from
hence
thither
.
I
beseech
your
honor
,
if
it
be
possible
,
that
I
may
have
answer
of
this
and
all
my
former
letters
within
15
days
,
for
about
that
time
I
guesse
I
may
have
audience
.
And
so
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's
,
&
c

HENRY
NEVILLE

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Orleans
,
13th
July
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
came
to
this
town
upon
Saturday
last
,
and
upon
Sunday
,
being
the
8th
of
this
month
,
I
had
audience
,
where
I
repeated
unto
the
King
,
what
I
had
proposed
at
my
former
audience
,
and
what
answer
I
had
received
,
and
told
him
in
every
respect
,
as
I
had
before
written
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
that
I
thought
that
answer
so
cold
,
and
to
savour
of
so
little
respect
towards
the
Queen
my
Mistress
,
considering
her
present
occasions
,
which
I
had
acquainted
him
with
,
and
the
sincerity
of
her
affection
,
which
he
had
so
often
made
proof
of
;
that
to
prevent
the
unkindness
she
might
justly
conceive
of
it
,
I
was
bold
to
suppress
it
for
a
time
,
and
to
desire
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
to
deal
with
him
to
readvise
of
it
,
and
to
strain
himself
to
give
the
Queen
some
better
contentment
.
That
monsieur
de
Villeroy
had
thereupon
written
unto
me
,
that
he
had
moved
him
in
it
,
and
was
commanded
to
assure
me
,
that
as
soon
as
his
counsel
came
about
him
,
he
would
advice
seriously
with
them
,
of
the
means
to
give
her
Majesty
some
better
satisfaction
.
That
I
was
therefore
now
come
to
wait
upon
him
for
that
cause
,
and
to
receive
his
answer
,
which
I
prayed
might
be
such
,
as
might
give
her
Majesty
argument
of
his
assured
affection
towards
her
,
and
that
she
might
have
no
cause
to
think
her
self
too
little
regarded
.
And
the
rather
to
induce
him
thereunto
,
I
alleged
both
those
reasons
,
which
I
had
before
written
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
and
the
Duke
of
Bouillon
,
and
some
other
,
which
I
will
not
trouble
your
honor
to
repeat
.
The
King
answered
,
that
I
had
no
reason
to
charge
him
with
want
of
respect
towards
the
Queen
my
Mistress
;
though
he
knew
himself
,
and
every
man
els
would
confess
him
to
be
the
first
King
of
Christendom
,
yet
he
had
always
professed
himself
to
be
her
Servant
,
and
her
Soldier
,
with
many
words
to
that
purpose
.
I
desired
him
not
to
conceive
me
to
mean
any
want
of
personal
respect
towards
her
Majesty
,
for
I
did
both
remember
,
and
had
advertised
her
of
those
,
and
other
speeches
,
he
had
before
used
unto
me
to
her
honor
:
but
my
meaning
was
,
to
note
a
want
of
respect
and
regard
to
her
estate
and
present
occasions
,
in
not
seeking
to
render
her
at
least
some
part
of
those
means
,
she
had
need
to
use
now
for
her
own
defence
,
seeing
the
cause
of
her
being
disfurnished
of
them
,
was
only
her
care
to
preserve
him
.
He
said
,
he
did
confesse
that
he
had
received
great
pleasures
of
her
,
and
in
requital
thereof
,
would
employ
himself
,
and
the
forces
of
his
whole
kingdom
in
her
defence
,
if
she
had
need
;
but
more
could
not
be
had
of
a
man
than
was
in
his
power
,
and
for
money
he
had
utterly
none
,
and
repeated
it
three
times
.
I
told
him
it
would
be
a
strange
answer
to
proceed
from
a
King
of
France
,
who
though
he
commanded
not
a
country
so
flourishing
and
wealthy
as
sometimes
it
had
been
,
yet
was
never
so
low
,
but
upon
so
just
an
occasion
as
this
was
,
he
would
be
able
to
find
so
much
,
as
would
serve
to
give
her
Majesty
some
reasonable
contentment
,
and
enable
her
to
expect
his
better
convenience
,
for
the
discharge
of
the
rest
.
He
began
to
protest
he
could
not
do
it
this
year
,
but
the
next
he
hoped
he
should
be
better
able
,
until
which
time
he
prayed
her
Majesty
to
have
patience
.
I
told
him
this
answer
would
be
found
so
strange
,
after
so
long
expectation
,
and
promise
of
better
contentment
,
that
I
should
scarce
be
believed
in
relating
it
;
and
therefore
prayed
,
if
he
were
resolved
to
give
me
no
other
,
that
it
would
please
him
to
give
it
in
writing
,
which
he
promised
to
do
.
After
this
speech
so
ended
,
I
proposed
again
the
maintenance
of
the
intercourse
between
the
two
realm
;
and
the
confirmation
of
such
liberties
and
privileges
,
as
had
been
granted
by
his
predecessors
unto
her
majesties
subjects
,
and
namely
,
of
the
exemption
du
droict
d'aubeine
,
granted
by
King
Charles
;
which
was
a
thing
contrary
to
the
custom
of
all
other
nations
,
and
without
any
ground
of
reason
,
and
served
rather
for
a
pretext
to
his
officers
,
to
extort
by
wrong
and
violence
upon
our
merchants
,
than
for
any
profit
to
him
.
He
willed
me
to
give
a
note
to
his
counsel
,
and
they
should
consider
of
it
,
and
of
the
treaties
and
grants
made
by
his
predecessors
;
and
willed
me
to
assure
my
self
,
that
in
that
,
or
any
thing
els
which
was
in
his
power
,
he
would
be
ever
willing
,
to
give
her
Majesty
argument
of
his
good
affection
.
From
this
,
he
fell
into
questions
of
the
state's
fleet
;
I
told
him
I
understood
nothing
of
it
.
He
asked
me
also
,
how
matters
went
in
Ireland
.
I
told
him
since
the
last
occurrents
I
had
acquainted
him
with
,
I
had
heard
nothing
,
but
that
my
Lord
of
Essex
was
gone
to
Limerick
,
a
town
almost
in
the
middle
of
Ireland
,
which
might
be
the
occasion
that
advertisements
came
the
slower
from
him
.
He
wish'd
the
Queen
had
well
composed
those
matters
,
and
said
,
he
feared
she
would
find
a
difficult
matter
of
it
.
I
said
,
it
might
perhaps
prove
of
more
length
than
was
hoped
at
the
first
,
which
would
always
inforce
her
to
urge
repayment
of
her
money
at
his
hands
,
but
in
the
end
I
did
not
doubt
,
but
God
would
give
good
success
to
so
good
a
cause
.
He
said
,
he
had
heard
,
that
Tyrone
would
have
accepted
a
peace
,
if
your
honor
and
my
Lord
of
Essex
,
would
have
becom
pledges
for
the
observing
of
it
.
I
told
him
,
there
was
never
any
such
thing
spoken
of
,
and
though
there
had
been
any
such
demand
made
by
him
,
it
had
not
been
sit
nor
honorable
for
her
Majesty
,
that
the
assurance
of
her
word
or
promise
,
should
depend
upon
the
credit
of
any
other
but
her
self
.
Then
he
asked
me
,
if
in
the
articles
of
the
treaty
between
the
Queen
,
and
the
King
of
Spain
,
she
had
not
inserted
one
to
this
purpose
,
that
be
should
free
her
from
the
war
in
Ireland
.
I
told
him
,
I
thought
he
knew
very
well
,
that
the
treaty
never
came
so
far
,
as
to
talk
of
articles
:
he
said
coomans
,
as
he
passed
this
way
had
assured
him
,
if
the
King
of
Spain
would
assent
to
those
articles
he
carried
with
him
,
the
peace
was
made
.
I
told
him
,
the
Queen
had
communicated
unto
him
,
both
by
his
own
Ambassador
,
and
by
me
,
as
much
as
had
passed
in
that
matter
,
which
I
hoped
he
would
give
more
credit
to
,
than
to
cooman's
report
,
for
he
might
well
speak
of
their
resolution
,
but
he
could
not
speak
of
ours
.
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
who
was
present
at
all
my
audience
,
said
he
thought
it
never
came
to
conditions
.
Of
the
Marquisat
of
Saluces
,
I
find
the
King
to
speak
more
doubtfully
than
he
did
before
,
as
if
he
feared
Spain
would
intermeddle
;
the
like
in
dark
speeches
I
received
from
some
of
his
counsel
.
He
told
me
,
*
the
Pope
had
been
earnest
to
prolong
the
term
agayn
,
but
that
he
was
not
determined
to
grant
it
,
â€
but
would
be
at
Lyons
about
six
weeks
hence
,
to
be
nearer
unto
his
busines
there
.
And
so
this
audience
passed
,
saving
,
that
when
I
saw
no
hope
of
obtaining
any
more
,
I
prayed
him
,
that
the
20000
crowns
,
which
he
had
promised
and
assigned
already
,
might
be
paid
out
of
hand
.
To
which
he
answered
,
he
knew
not
how
soon
it
would
be
ready
,
but
he
had
made
good
assignations
for
it
,
and
he
would
speak
with
his
financiers
about
it
,
and
then
I
should
have
answer
when
it
should
be
payed
.
The
next
day
I
went
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
and
told
him
,
I
was
sorry
to
find
my
travails
so
unfortunate
,
that
instead
of
advancing
my
Mistress's
service
,
by
my
solicitation
,
I
found
it
rather
recoiled
,
and
the
King
grown
colder
,
than
the
last
time
I
moved
him
,
or
than
he
had
given
me
hope
of
by
his
letters
.
He
very
hotly
replied
,
that
he
had
written
nothing
,
that
might
be
construed
to
imply
more
than
the
King
had
now
said
,
that
he
had
written
in
French
,
and
knew
well
what
it
was
.
I
was
not
disposed
to
take
the
matter
so
hotly
,
but
answered
only
,
that
he
knew
very
well
when
I
took
exception
to
the
King's
first
answer
,
because
it
seemed
to
promise
payment
of
no
more
this
year
,
but
of
the
20000
crowns
,
and
made
my
complaint
thereof
unto
him
;
he
made
me
answer
,
that
he
had
moved
the
King
in
it
,
and
was
commanded
to
assure
me
,
that
when
the
counsel
came
together
,
the
King
would
consult
with
them
how
to
give
her
Majesty
better
satisfaction
;
whereas
now
I
found
him
so
far
from
any
resolution
of
paying
more
,
that
methought
he
began
to
make
the
payment
of
the
20000
crowns
very
uncertain
,
which
was
promised
and
assigned
,
before
my
coming
,
and
which
her
Majesty
looked
for
ere
this
time
;
and
that
I
thought
her
Majesty
deserved
to
be
better
regarded
.
He
told
me
,
I
seemed
to
insist
much
in
my
speech
with
the
King
,
upon
that
point
of
want
of
respect
towards
the
Queen
,
and
if
I
had
repeated
it
a
little
more
,
I
might
perhaps
have
been
answered
little
to
my
contentment
.
To
that
I
answered
,
I
had
patience
to
bear
whatsoever
the
King
should
say
,
and
would
refer
it
to
my
Mistress
to
interpret
,
but
I
would
not
leave
for
that
,
to
deliver
whatsoever
she
should
command
:
and
that
for
mine
own
part
,
I
must
needs
say
again
,
that
I
thought
it
an
argument
of
small
respect
,
that
a
King
,
who
could
find
the
means
to
give
away
in
pure
gift
,
this
last
year
,
15
or
1600000
crowns
,
should
plead
disability
to
pay
the
Queen
any
thing
,
in
so
great
occasions
as
he
knew
she
had
:
that
I
was
not
to
interpret
her
conceptions
further
then
she
was
pleased
to
impart
unto
me
,
but
that
I
saw
she
had
great
cause
to
be
much
discontented
with
it
;
and
therefore
as
I
had
desired
the
King
,
and
as
he
had
promised
me
,
I
prayed
him
I
might
have
the
answer
in
writing
.
He
told
me
,
it
was
not
the
fashion
to
give
answer
in
writing
,
but
to
those
things
which
were
presented
in
writing
,
and
I
urging
the
King's
promise
,
he
said
he
heard
it
not
,
(
tho
'
the
King
had
twice
promised
it
in
his
presence
)
and
that
he
had
no
such
commandment
:
thereupon
I
told
him
,
rather
then
fail
,
he
should
have
the
proposition
in
writing
.
We
fell
after
to
talk
of
the
other
point
of
the
treaties
,
and
droict
d'aubeine
,
wherein
I
desired
,
that
the
King
would
make
it
appear
,
that
he
did
acknowledge
the
service
her
Majesty's
subjects
had
done
him
,
and
that
he
thought
them
no
less
worthy
of
his
favor
,
than
some
other
nations
,
to
whom
he
had
lately
granted
the
same
of
his
free
good
will
,
not
being
tyed
unto
it
by
any
lately
granted
the
same
of
his
free
good
will
,
not
being
tied
unto
it
by
any
treaty
of
his
predecessors
;
whereas
we
had
it
granted
directly
by
the
treaty
of
Blois
.
He
answered
,
that
we
had
not
performed
that
treaty
on
our
parts
,
and
alleged
the
words
of
the
treaty
,
that
there
should
be
a
staple
or
fondique
established
,
of
our
merchandise
in
France
,
as
was
heretofore
at
Antwerp
and
Bruges
;
and
when
that
was
done
,
we
might
claim
the
exemption
required
,
and
not
before
.
I
told
him
,
the
exemption
was
granted
(
as
appeared
by
the
words
of
the
treaty
)
in
favor
of
the
traffic
,
which
was
intended
to
be
established
between
the
two
nations
,
to
work
a
good
communication
and
amicable
disposition
between
them
,
whereupon
a
firm
and
durable
friendship
might
be
grounded
between
the
princes
;
and
therefore
,
to
stand
upon
the
fondique
,
which
was
but
a
circumstance
,
and
accorded
rather
in
our
favor
,
than
for
any
benefit
to
them
,
argued
,
that
they
did
but
seek
evasions
,
from
giving
her
Majesty
or
her
subjects
contentment
in
any
kind
,
which
was
far
from
that
which
she
has
cause
to
expect
.
And
as
for
the
matter
of
the
fondique
or
staple
,
I
told
him
it
was
a
thing
that
began
to
be
misliked
in
England
,
and
was
thought
to
be
prejudicial
to
the
state
,
to
make
any
more
corporations
or
fraternities
,
which
might
be
;
and
therefore
wished
,
if
he
were
as
desirous
to
entertain
good
intercourse
between
the
two
realm
,
as
he
had
heretofore
seemed
to
be
;
not
to
frustrate
so
good
an
intention
,
upon
a
circumstance
so
little
material
unto
them
,
but
to
refer
it
to
her
majesties
choice
.
He
said
,
the
treaty
did
directly
mention
it
,
and
though
we
cared
not
for
it
,
they
did
require
it
;
yet
if
her
Majesty
would
signify
unto
the
King
,
that
she
desired
to
have
that
point
forborne
,
as
being
prejudicial
to
her
state
,
he
thought
there
might
be
some
conference
upon
these
points
and
the
whole
treaty
;
which
the
King
was
willing
to
confirme
,
either
in
that
kind
,
or
in
any
more
straight
sort
,
that
should
be
thought
sit
for
the
subjects
of
both
realm
,
and
offered
me
to
treat
whensoever
I
had
commission
.
I
told
him
,
the
intention
of
that
treaty
,
for
that
which
concerns
the
intercourse
,
was
chiefly
to
establish
the
traffick
of
our
English
commodities
in
France
,
and
all
the
conditions
appointed
to
be
considered
of
by
especial
commissioners
,
runne
that
way
;
and
therefore
it
was
sit
it
should
be
treated
of
in
England
;
where
the
merchants
,
whome
it
chiefly
concerned
,
might
be
at
hand
to
declare
,
what
they
required
to
be
provided
for
.
He
said
,
there
was
much
to
be
required
likewise
on
the
part
of
their
merchants
;
I
said
,
all
that
concerned
them
,
was
common
to
us
,
as
well
as
to
them
,
and
there
was
much
in
that
treaty
besides
,
that
particularly
belonged
to
our
side
:
he
said
,
we
might
treat
of
that
which
concerned
us
there
,
and
of
the
other
here
;
I
said
,
that
were
in
vaine
,
for
one
labor
might
serve
both
.
That
matter
ended
,
we
came
to
speak
of
the
third
point
of
my
former
proposition
;
wherein
I
found
my
self
not
satisfied
,
because
the
whole
proposition
seem
to
be
limited
,
to
the
carrying
out
of
the
commodities
there
mentioned
hors
de
son
royaume
,
which
extends
not
to
such
as
should
be
bought
in
lorraine
parts
,
and
carried
directly
to
our
enemies
,
without
ever
coming
into
France
;
for
that
which
was
never
in
France
,
cannot
be
said
to
be
carried
out
of
France
.
We
debated
this
matter
a
while
,
not
without
some
heat
,
and
words
I
might
justly
have
excepted
to
on
his
part
:
but
I
told
him
resolutely
,
I
would
not
so
accept
it
,
and
I
did
not
doubt
to
be
advowed
in
it
:
then
at
last
he
was
contented
to
alter
it
,
and
hath
promised
to
send
it
me
so
altered
.
He
seemed
to
complain
,
that
notwithstanding
the
counsel
in
England
had
assented
unto
,
and
signed
the
regulation
touching
depredations
,
your
honor
had
since
refused
to
reduce
it
into
a
treaty
,
or
to
execute
it
.
I
could
answer
nothing
particularly
in
this
point
,
because
I
had
received
no
letters
from
your
honor
since
the
Ambassador's
audience
,
the
last
I
had
received
being
of
the
9th
of
June
;
but
in
generalitie
I
told
him
,
(
as
I
had
done
once
before
)
that
I
thought
her
Majesty
had
reason
to
forbeare
to
proceed
any
further
in
it
,
till
she
saw
more
forwardness
on
their
part
to
answer
her
:
for
she
had
both
established
a
commission
,
which
had
already
done
justice
in
these
causes
,
and
made
since
a
proclamation
,
for
the
freedom
of
their
trade
,
as
themselves
desired
;
whereas
they
had
neither
appointed
commissioners
,
to
whom
her
Majesty's
subjects
might
resort
,
for
remedie
in
their
wrongs
,
which
were
many
and
great
;
nor
yet
made
any
of
those
proclamations
and
prohibitions
,
which
on
their
part
were
to
be
made
,
for
her
Majesty's
service
.
He
said
,
your
honor
had
not
so
answered
;
but
if
the
Queen
insisted
upon
that
,
he
would
cause
the
commission
to
be
dispatched
out
of
hand
,
and
the
proclamations
to
be
likewise
made
,
in
such
sort
as
it
was
agreed
upon
.
This
is
the
effect
of
our
conference
at
this
time
;
I
have
since
delivered
a
sum
of
my
proposition
in
writing
,
but
shall
not
receive
answer
,
I
doubt
,
till
I
come
to
Blois
;
for
the
counsel
removes
thither
to
morrow
,
and
the
King
likewise
,
after
a
step
to
Malesherbes
,
will
repair
thither
towards
the
end
of
the
week
.
In
the
mean
time
,
I
thought
good
to
send
this
dispatch
,
that
you
may
see
what
to
trust
to
from
hence
,
and
because
I
would
not
have
the
Ambassador
there
,
advertised
what
hath
passed
here
,
before
your
honor
.
And
I
assure
you
I
found
it
likewise
in
the
manner
.
What
to
impute
it
to
I
know
not
,
unles
they
should
have
discovered
some
more
coldness
in
the
demand
there
,
then
I
have
used
here
.
Some
have
underhand
let
me
know
,
that
the
King
doth
assure
himself
that
the
Queen
will
make
peace
,
and
therefore
makes
no
haste
to
pay
her
any
thing
;
and
again
I
learn
,
that
monsieur
de
Villeroy
took
in
some
fault
the
letter
I
wrote
him
,
upon
the
receipt
of
the
King's
first
answer
,
whereof
I
sent
your
honor
a
copy
;
I
leave
all
to
your
honor
to
judge
Bellièvre
;
who
used
me
with
good
respect
,
and
confessed
it
was
very
reasonable
the
King
should
make
her
some
good
satisfaction
,
but
doubted
that
at
this
time
he
was
not
able
.
Monsieur
de
Rosny
asked
me
,
what
would
content
the
Queen
the
next
year
:
I
said
I
had
no
commission
to
divide
the
debt
,
but
generally
to
demand
the
restitution
;
but
I
thought
the
Queen
would
not
be
too
rigorous
in
her
demand
,
but
would
be
content
to
accept
some
competent
some
,
so
she
might
receive
the
rest
in
reasonable
time
after
.
He
seemed
to
profess
much
affection
to
her
Majesty
,
but
the
effects
must
discover
his
inclinations
,
whereof
I
cannot
promise
much
,
this
being
the
first
time
I
had
speech
with
him
.
Since
my
coming
hither
,
I
understand
that
at
o.194
Rochelle
,
there
hath
been
stayed
three
englishmen
,
seeming
by
all
circumstances
to
be
men
of
the
Church
,
and
professing
papistry
.
They
pretended
a
purpose
to
go
into
England
,
and
were
found
seased
of
certain
letters
to
some
in
England
,
containing
an
advertisement
,
that
the
z
w
g
t
k
l

of

-----
had
offered

against

:

The
Queen
,
which
I
think
will
be
done
very
shortly
.
If
it
be
so
,
it
may
please
you
to
think
of
examining
them
of
the
emq
.
I
a
u
title
of
the
t
b
I
.
O
f
d
h
f
Infanta
,
whereof
I
*
wrote
lately
.
Of
the
King's
marriage
I
know
not
what
to
write
;
in
speech
he
seems
to
resolve
to
marry
,
and
the
Princess
of
Florence
is
in
every
bodies
mouth
:
but
in
his
particular
,
I
verily
believe
he
hath
no
inclination
to
leave
this
free
life
he
now
leads
;
and
withal
,
I
cannot
learn
that
there
hath
yet
been
any
direct
motion
made
at
Florence
on
his
part
.
On
the
other
side
,
I
hear
that
the
emperor
,
(
belike
to
crosse
the
King's
purpose
in
that
alliance
,)
is
now
grown
very
earnest
in
the
pursuit
of
that
Princess
,
which
he
had
once
seemed
to
have
given
over
.
The
Archduke
arrived
at
Genoa
about
the
15th
of
the
last
month
after
this
account
,
and
went
thence
the
26th
towards
Milan
,
where
he
purposed
to
stay
but
eight
days
.
He
was
visited
by
embassies
from
all
parts
of
Italy
;
and
the
King
told
me
,
the
Pope
had
sent
a
legate
to
him
,
which
was
very
extraordinary
,
and
not
used
to
be
done
to
any
,
under
the
degree
of
a
King
.
But
I
spake
with
a
gentleman
who
was
at
Genoa
till
he
departed
,
who
said
,
there
was
a
legate
looked
for
there
,
but
there
came
none
.
He
doth
also
assure
me
,
that
he
brought
no
soldiers
with
him
at
all
,
but
only
his
ordinary
traine
,
and
that
not
great
.
He
takes
the
way
of
Germany
,
by
reason
that
the
plague
is
so
hot
in
Piedmont
;
which
is
also
said
to
be
so
great
in
Spain
,
that
the
King
was
fain
to
return
from
Barcelona
by
sea
into
Valencia
,
to
the
Marquis
of
Denia's
house
,
who
now
possesses
him
wholly
,
and
draws
from
him
for
himself
and
his
friends
,
exceeding
great
gifts
,
and
namely
,
the
bishoprick
of
Toledo
for
a
nephew
of
his
.
The
harvest
is
exceeding
good
this
year
in
Spain
,
and
the
plenty
as
great
both
of
corn
and
wine
,
as
has
been
these
20
years
;
the
like
is
generally
expected
in
this
country
.
There
happened
a
great
disaster
upon
Monday
last
in
the
forest
of
Bière
,
heard
by
Fontainebleau
;
either
by
lightning
,
or
other
mischance
,
the
wood
fell
on
fire
,
and
hath
burned
,
as
I
am
informed
,
about
40000
acres
of
wood
,
to
the
loss
at
the
least
of
100
thousand
crowns
;
one
whole
village
is
said
to
be
burned
,
and
Fontainebleau
,
both
town
and
house
,
was
hardly
saved
.
It
is
said
to
burne
yet
,
and
no
man
knows
when
it
will
cease
;
for
when
men
think
it
is
quenched
,
it
will
run
into
the
ground
,
and
break
out
in
some
other
place
.
Upon
Sunday
last
the
King
healed
a
great
many
,
both
of
Spaniards
and
others
;
and
there
went
with
him
to
the
Church
among
others
,
the
Duke
of
Guise
;
to
whom
it
was
observed
that
this
people
shewed
more
true
affection
,
than
to
the
King
himself
;
many
thanking
God
for
his
good
escape
,
and
praying
God
to
blesse
him
,
and
diverse
taking
occasion
by
his
sight
,
to
revive
the
memory
of
his
father
.
The
princes
of
Germany
keep
their
forces
still
together
about
Wesel
,
and
treat
of
drawing
recompence
from
the
Spaniards
of
their
damages
and
charges
,
but
I
think
it
will
hardly
come
.
In
the
mean
while
they
lose
much
advantage
of
time
,
and
make
all
men
talk
of
their
dullness
and
irresolution
.
Here
is
an
Ambassador
of
the
Duke
of
Württemberg
,
who
came
to
compliment
with
me
,
and
in
discourse
let
fall
so
much
unto
me
,
as
I
perceive
his
Master
would
be
very
glad
her
Majesty
would
honor
him
with
sending
some
gentleman
unto
him
;
and
surely
,
Sir
,
in
my
poor
judgment
,
the
sending
of
some
man
of
worth
into
those
parts
might
be
to
good
purpose
,
both
to
discover
some
designs
,
and
to
keep
those
princes
in
good
devotion
.
Of
the
states
fleet
here
is
nothing
known
;
it
is
thought
they
are
gone
to
the
islands
,
or
unto
the
indies
.
I
understand
by
their
Agent
they
are
victualed
for
a
year
,
and
that
there
is
another
fleet
preparing
,
to
be
ready
to
succeed
them
in
the
action
,
against
they
return
.
The
states
have
drawn
little
from
hence
this
year
;
the
last
year
they
should
have
had
200000
crowns
,
but
received
but
100000
;
this
year
they
were
promised
300000
crowns
,
to
supply
the
defect
of
the
last
,
but
have
received
yet
but
50000
.
Touching
collisford
,
of
whom
I
made
some
motion
in
my
first
proposition
;
monsieur
de
Villeroy
tells
me
he
is
avoided
out
of
Calais
,
according
to
my
desire
.
I
dealt
with
him
also
about
the
seminary
at
Rheims
,
which
I
understood
our
fugitives
were
in
hand
to
renew
,
and
had
gotten
the
clergy's
consent
thereunto
.
I
prayed
him
to
take
order
to
impeach
it
,
being
contrary
to
the
treaties
that
they
should
have
any
such
receptacle
here
.
I
have
moved
him
again
of
it
,
but
he
has
done
nothing
in
it
,
pretending
the
Archbishop
of
Rheims's
sickness
to
have
been
such
,
as
he
was
not
in
case
to
be
troubled
with
any
thing
.
In
my
last
conference
with
him
,
perusing
the
treaty
of
Blois
in
his
book
,
I
found
it
to
differ
from
my
copy
in
some
points
.
Indeed
I
cannot
warrant
the
credit
of
myne
,
being
taken
not
out
of
your
honor's
book
,
but
out
of
a
copy
of
my
father-in-law's
,
which
was
not
very
perfect
.
Therefore
I
beseech
you
,
if
her
Majesty's
pleasure
be
that
I
shall
deal
any
further
in
that
matter
,
to
let
me
have
a
true
copy
sent
me
of
the
treaty
.
The
King
went
yesternight
after
supper
to
la
faye
,
four
or
five
leagues
hence
,
with
a
purpose
to
hunt
the
stagg
,
and
as
some
think
to
see
Fontainebleau
,
(
and
Paris
perhaps
)
before
his
return
,
so
sudden
excursions
we
are
here
subject
to
.
The
counsel
remain
here
some
few
days
,
but
no
man
knows
any
certainty
when
or
whether
the
next
remove
will
be
,
though
they
speak
of
Blois
.
For
my
part
I
remain
here
partly
to
receive
an
answer
to
my
proposition
,
but
chiefly
in
hope
to
hear
from
your
honor
whiles
I
am
here
,
least
I
should
have
any
occasion
upon
your
letters
to
return
hither
,
as
soon
as
I
come
to
Paris
.
I
mentioned
before
,
that
monsieur
de
Villeroy
told
me
,
I
answered
not
to
one
point
of
our
conference
as
your
honor
had
done
;
he
did
the
like
in
some
other
points
.
I
beseech
you
therefore
consider
,
what
disrepute
,
and
what
disadvantage
it
is
to
me
in
my
negotiating
,
to
want
advertisements
how
things
pass
there
.
And
so
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's
,
&
c
.

Since
the
dispatch
I
sent
away
yesterday
by
Simons
,
I
received
these
enclosed
letters
from
Bayonne
,
which
I
send
by
the
same
Messenger
which
brought
them
me
,
being
an
English
merchant
called
Jackson
,
who
is
returning
homeward
.
I
have
nothing
more
to
write
than
I
advertised
in
my
dispatch
,
but
that
I
am
differed
for
mine
answer
to
my
proposition
till
the
King
come
to
Blois
,
which
when
it
will
be
I
know
not
;
but
the
counsel
is
yet
determined
,
to
move
thither
upon
Monday
next
.
I
am
told
,
that
besides
the
fire
which
happened
in
the
forrest
de
Bière
,
there
is
another
great
fire
fallen
out
in
Bourges
,
which
hath
burnt
a
Church
and
20
houses
;
both
are
supposed
to
be
by
lightning
.
I
have
received
letters
from
some
merchants
at
Bayonne
,
that
there
are
certain
letters
of
mart
granted
out
against
them
,
and
their
goods
,
for
some
wrong
done
by
our
people
at
sea
.
I
find
it
directly
contrary
to
all
our
treaties
,
that
any
letters
of
mart
should
be
granted
but
against
the
principal
delinquents
,
and
their
goods
and
factors
;
and
that
,
in
casu
manifeste
denegationis
justitiae
,
which
I
suppose
hath
not
been
on
her
Majesty's
part
;
therefore
I
mean
to
deal
with
the
counsel
for
the
repeal
,
and
stay
of
them
.
And
so
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
most
humbly
to
be
commanded
,
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Orleans
,
18th
July
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
have
this
morning
received
your
honor's
of
the
2d
of
July
,
together
with
Monsieur
de
Bouillon's
and
Sancy's
bond
for
the
20000
crowns
,
and
likewise
the
copies
of
Cardinal
Andrea's
letter
,
and
the
answer
to
it
,
and
of
the
answer
made
to
the
hambourghers
,
for
which
I
humbly
thank
you
.
By
the
same
letters
,
I
perceive
her
majesties
purpose
to
insist
upon
the
confirmation
of
the
treaty
of
Blois
,
wherein
I
suppose
you
will
find
no
great
difficulty
here
,
for
monsieur
de
Villeroy
seems
very
forward
in
it
;
and
besides
,
I
understand
,
as
I
have
written
heretofore
unto
your
honor
,
that
upon
my
first
motion
of
it
,
it
was
proposed
here
in
counsel
,
and
a
reed
upon
.
And
therefore
,
because
in
your
last
letter
before
this
,
it
pleased
your
honor
to
command
me
to
inform
my
self
what
was
sit
for
us
to
require
therein
,
wherein
I
conceived
you
meant
,
what
was
sit
to
be
added
or
altered
in
it
,
I
am
bold
to
send
you
my
poor
conceit
of
it
.
First
,
whereas
the
exemption
of
the
droict
d
'
aubeine
and
some
other
points
,
seem
to
be
conditionall
,
and
to
depend
upon
the
erection
of
a
staple
or
fondic
of
our
commodities
in
France
,
as
was
sometime
at
Antwerp
and
Bruges
;
for
that
I
find
by
the
merchants
trading
in
these
parts
,
that
they
are
not
desirous
to
have
any
such
company
or
corporation
established
here
,
by
reason
of
the
chargeableness
of
it
,
and
not
being
done
,
it
may
always
minister
them
hear
occasion
of
quarrel
and
cavill
against
their
privileges
:
I
do
therefore
wish
,
that
all
grants
of
privileges
and
immunities
,
therein
accorded
to
our
nation
,
may
be
absolute
,
and
sounded
only
upon
the
respect
of
the
intercourse
and
amity
between
the
two
princes
and
realm
,
and
upon
no
other
condition
.
Secondly
,
if
they
insist
still
upon
that
point
of
the
fondic
or
English
house
,
I
think
it
sit
that
her
Majesty
require
free
exercise
of
religion
for
her
merchants
,
in
such
places
,
where
those
fondics
shall
be
established
.
Thirdly
,
I
wish
that
it
be
especially
provided
for
in
the
treaty
,
that
there
shall
be
no
letters
of
mart
or
represall
executed
either
upon
the
land
or
in
any
port
,
but
upon
the
sea
only
;
for
this
is
a
point
our
merchants
do
especially
fear
,
and
therefore
desire
it
may
be
prevented
.
Fourthly
,
that
the
taxes
and
impositions
raised
since
the
year
1572
,
may
be
put
down
;
wherein
her
Majesty
hath
the
advantage
,
for
by
that
treaty
,
the
King
of
France
is
barred
from
raising
any
new
impositions
upon
our
commodities
,
and
the
Queen
left
at
liberty
.
Fiftly
,
that
the
King
shall
not
suffer
any
college
,
or
seminary
of
our
English
fugitives
,
to
be
erected
,
or
continued
here
.
Sixtly
,
that
no
bark
or
shallop
of
dunkirk
,
or
other
port
under
the
enemies
obedience
,
armed
or
provided
for
the
war
,
may
be
suffered
to
have
harbouring
or
retreat
in
the
ports
of
this
kingdom
;
which
if
it
be
performed
,
will
take
away
that
great
liberty
and
boldness
which
they
have
used
upon
the
narrow
seas
of
late
,
to
her
majesties
exceeding
dishonor
,
and
the
damage
of
her
subjects
.
To
this
would
likewise
be
added
some
clause
,
touching
the
warranty
of
the
sale
of
our
clothe
,
kersey
,
bayes
and
cotton
here
,
in
such
sort
as
it
is
made
,
wherein
our
merchants
are
most
troubled
,
especially
about
the
northern
clothes
,
which
I
perceive
is
one
of
the
chiefest
commodities
here
:
for
the
officers
do
continually
pick
quarrells
to
the
false
making
of
them
,
and
threaten
them
with
confiscation
,
and
by
that
means
daily
draw
money
from
the
merchants
,
and
if
it
be
not
especially
provided
for
,
is
like
in
time
to
serve
for
a
pretext
to
banish
that
kind
of
clothe
wholly
.
Which
besides
the
present
prejudice
,
being
uttered
here
in
good
quantity
and
to
a
good
value
,
and
not
being
vendible
almost
in
any
other
place
;
may
happily
be
a
step
and
a
precedent
,
to
proceed
further
against
the
rest
of
our
clothes
upon
like
occasion
;
for
in
very
deed
,
the
merchants
themselves
confess
,
that
all
our
clothes
are
made
more
faulty
than
heretofore
.
The
way
how
to
provide
for
this
,
the
merchants
which
trade
hither
will
best
inform
your
honor
,
and
what
it
is
they
desire
in
that
point
.
For
the
third
point
,
of
executing
letters
of
mart
only
at
sea
,
I
think
it
greatly
for
our
advantage
,
because
we
are
stronger
than
the
French
at
sea
,
and
therefore
not
so
subject
to
reprisals
there
;
and
have
more
goods
and
commodities
always
in
their
country
,
than
they
have
in
ours
,
and
thereby
more
in
danger
of
seizure
at
home
.
And
I
do
the
rather
mention
it
,
because
in
my
conference
with
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
and
Bellièvre
,
about
the
letters
of
mart
granted
against
our
nation
to
certain
of
Bayonne
,
whereof
I
wrote
in
my
last
;
I
found
that
they
both
inclined
to
that
opinion
,
that
it
was
not
sit
that
merchants
should
be
touched
by
such
letters
either
at
land
,
or
in
any
port
;
and
therefore
they
have
promised
me
,
when
we
come
to
Blois
(
where
the
Chancellor
is
already
,)
that
matter
shall
be
conferred
of
,
and
order
taken
in
it
.
I
find
them
both
to
insist
upon
the
other
point
,
which
I
pressed
upon
that
particular
out
of
the
treaties
of
1559
at
*
Cambrésis
,
and
1564
.
At
â€
Troyes
,
which
are
the
latest
that
mention
that
matter
;
viz
.
That
represalls
should
be
contra
delinquentes
,
eorum
bona
factoresque
,
&
hoc
in
casu
manifestae
denegationis
justitiae
:
which
they
say
is
not
equal
,
for
a
man
may
do
a
spoile
at
sea
,
which
either
may
be
nothing
worth
,
or
being
of
some
worth
,
may
perhaps
never
go
to
sea
again
,
nor
happily
have
any
goods
out
of
the
realm
wherein
he
dwells
,
whereupon
restitution
may
be
made
;
so
that
they
seem
to
stand
upon
this
,
that
letters
of
mart
may
be
executed
against
any
of
the
nation
which
doth
the
wrong
,
at
sea
,
but
not
at
land
,
or
in
any
port
;
and
that
,
after
requisition
of
justice
,
and
refusal
of
it
by
the
Prince
to
whom
the
requisition
was
made
.
And
this
surely
in
my
poor
judgment
,
with
some
good
explanation
of
the
manner
of
the
requisition
,
and
a
competent
time
to
do
justice
in
,
and
to
make
certificate
of
the
proceeding
to
the
Prince
requiring
justice
,
before
which
certificate
,
letters
of
mart
should
not
be
granted
,
would
prove
a
very
good
and
indifferent
course
for
both
nations
.
But
howsoever
,
I
thought
it
my
duty
to
advertise
your
honor
of
this
their
opinion
in
time
,
because
I
verily
believe
it
will
be
proposed
unto
you
in
the
pursuit
of
this
treaty
;
wherein
I
also
fuppose
,
you
will
find
no
difficulty
on
their
part
,
to
add
that
condition
of
the
King's
or
Admiral's
passport
,
to
such
ships
as
you
intend
shall
pass
free
:
and
so
to
make
the
clause
copulative
,
which
is
now
disjunctive
,
either
to
flagg
or
passport
.
As
to
the
matter
of
the
corn
to
be
carried
hence
into
Spain
,
although
for
this
present
year
it
is
not
like
to
come
greatly
in
question
,
because
the
abundance
in
Spain
is
such
as
they
shall
not
much
need
their
neighbors
;
yet
will
it
be
very
necessary
to
be
thought
of
in
other
years
,
and
to
be
provided
for
;
wherein
your
honor
shall
find
a
direct
precedent
,
in
the
treaty
‡
1546
between
King
Henry
the
eighth
and
King
francis
the
first
of
France
,
article
the
2d
,
viz
.
Quod
neuter
dictorum
principum
,
alterius
regna
vel
dominia
invadenti
aut
expugnanti
,
invadere
vel
expugnare
conanti
,
auxilium
,
favorem
,
subsidium
,
naves
,
pecunias
,
gentes

,
victualia
,
aut
aliam
assistentiam
quamcunque

vel

,
directè
vel
indirectè
,
dabit
aut
praestabit
,
nec
Ã

vel

consentiet
,
aut
permittet
,
sed

&

,

,
&
efficaciter

.
Which
must
needs
be
understood
of
furnishing
victuals
and
other
aid
there
mentioned
,
by
way
of
marchandise
,
as
well
as
otherwise
:
for
it
cannot
be
thought
,
that
any
subjects
would
furnishe
such
things
to
another
Prince
,
but
upon
sale
,
and
for
money
;
and
so
at
the
least
must
this
King
be
bound
to
prohibit
it
,
at
such
time
as
the
Spaniards
make
any
army
to
invade
us
;
and
it
may
be
he
will
sooner
condescend
to
make
the
treaty
in
those
general
terms
,
than
particularly
to
name
Spain
,
unless
her
Majesty
be
contented
that
he
shall
in
his
prohibitions
name
in
like
sort
,
both
England
and
Spain
,
which
perhaps
will
not
be
any
thing
to
our
prejudice
,
considering
we
are
neither
victualed
nor
furnished
with
armes
or
matters
of
that
nature
out
of
France
;
but
especially
if
that
clause
be
added
,
without
the
King's
express
licence
,
for
of
that
we
are
always
to
hope
more
at
the
least
at
this
King's
hands
,
than
our
enemies
.
I
must
also
advertise
your
honor
,
that
at
my
last
conference
,
I
dealt
with
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
as
I
had
likewise
done
before
,
to
move
the
King
to
forbid
the
new
erecting
of
the
college
of
our
seminary
priests
at
Rheims
,
which
I
did
upon
information
that
it
was
very
much
laboured
,
and
that
the
consent
of
the
clergy
of
the
town
was
already
obtained
.
His
answer
was
,
that
he
had
already
by
the
King's
command
written
to
the
Archbishop
of
Rheims
about
it
,
whose
answer
he
expected
very
shortly
.
Likewise
I
dealt
with
him
about
the
forbidding
of
the
dunkerker's
retrait
into
the
ports
of
this
realm
,
wherein
he
told
me
the
King
had
already
taken
order
:
but
what
in
particular
he
told
me
not
,
neither
did
I
greatly
press
him
,
because
I
mean
to
learn
the
truth
of
it
by
some
other
means
.
Monsieur
de
la
Mothe
Fénelon
is
upon
his
departure
for
Spain
;
and
monsieur
de
Villeroy
hath
assured
me
,
that
he
hath
recommended
Mr
.
Lock
unto
him
in
such
sort
as
your
honor
desired
.
I
have
written
unto
him
where
he
shall
the
*
King
hath
prolonged
the
term
for
the
Marquisate
of
Saluces
,
neither
will
Monsieur
de
Bellièvre
acknowledge
it
,
which
makes
me
a
little
stagger
;
yet
I
am
prone
to
believe
it
,
because
I
heard
it
from
one
of
good
place
very
familiar
in
monsieur
de
Villeroy's
house
;
and
besides
I
hear
the
General
of
the
cordelyers
who
treated
it
,
departs
very
shortly
towards
Italy
,
well
contented
as
it
is
supposed
.
As
soon
as
I
receive
answer
to
my
written
proposition
I
sent
you
by
simons
,
I
will
send
it
with
such
other
advertised
as
shall
occurre
in
the
mean
time
.
And
so
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's
,
&

Sir

Right

Blois
28th

1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
understand
by
many
of
my
good
friends
,
and
especially
by
mine
uncle
Killigrew
,
the
continuance
of
your
favor
towards
me
,
in
accepting
my
poor
service
and
endeavours
here
,
that
I
hold
my
self
tyed
thereby
as
by
many
other
favors
,
to
render
both
the
testimony
and
effect
of
a
dutifull
and
thankful
heart
.
I
beseech
your
honor
therefore
,
to
accept
these
few
lines
as
a
gage
and
witnes
of
my
most
loya'l
and
faithful
affection
towards
you
,
and
to
assure
your
self
always
of
my
earnest
desire
and
readiness
to
do
you
service
;
whereunto
the
more
to
engage
my
self
,
I
beseech
your
honor
to
give
me
leave
to
be
a
sutor
to
you
in
the
behalf
of
a
friend
of
myne
,
whom
I
entreated
to
come
over
with
me
in
the
place
of
my
Secretary
,
who
is
otherwise
like
for
his
good
will
to
me
,
to
sustain
great
prejudice
in
his
absence
;
his
name
is
Ralph
Winwood
,
and
his
case
is
this
;
he
is
tenant
to
the
Queen
of
the
manor
of
Denshanger
,
which
is
annexed
to
the
honor
of
Grafton
,
in
the
county
of
Northampton
,
which
(
understanding
of
the
sales
)
he
was
desirous
before
his
coming
over
with
me
,
to
have
purchased
it
of
her
Majesty
;
and
to
that
purpose
went
to
Mr
.
Sollicitor
to
confer
with
him
of
it
,
who
assured
him
that
it
was
not
within
the
commission
,
as
being
parcel
of
an
honor
.
Yet
since
he
understands
the
same
is
passed
in
a
book
,
to
the
use
of
one
Kettering
receiver
of
Northamptonshire
;
whereby
he
is
greatly
disappointed
,
and
his
whole
estate
greatly
interested
.
My
humble
suit
unto
your
honor
is
,
that
(
forasmuch
as
he
was
fully
determined
to
have
bought
it
himself
,
and
was
only
hindred
by
the
error
of
Mr
.
Sollicitor
,
and
by
his
so
speedy
coming
away
in
my
company
,)
it
would
please
you
to
be
a
means
,
that
for
some
reasonable
consideration
to
be
given
to
him
that
hath
passed
it
,
the
purchase
may
be
made
over
unto
him
;
which
I
shall
take
no
less
thankfully
,
than
if
the
favor
were
done
to
my
self
,
and
shall
greatly
acknowledge
my
obligations
increased
thereby
towards
your
honor
.
Besides
the
matter
contained
in
my
dispatch
,
I
have
nothing
more
to
write
,
but
that
the
20000
crowns
for
any
thing
I
can
find
,
will
not
be
paid
till
towards
Michaelmas
,
although
Rosny
assured
Mr
.
Edmonds
they
should
be
ready
as
soon
as
the
obligation
was
brought
,
which
I
told
him
I
now
had
,
so
little
trust
there
is
in
their
promises
.
The
King
rode
post
yesterday
to
Paris
,
upon
no
occasion
but
to
see
mademoiselle
d
'
entragues
;
which
needs
not
,
for
he
hath
not
been
idle
,
neither
at
Orleans
nor
here
;
but
hath
had
variety
brought
him
out
of
all
parts
;
and
for
any
thing
I
see
,
he
minds
nothing
else
,
but
that
and
hunting
,
and
will
hardly
stay
one
whole
day
with
his
counsel
.
We
know
not
when
to
look
for
him
here
again
,
but
his
counsel
remains
here
.
The
journey
to
Lyons
is
uncertayne
,
because
,
as
I
said
once
before
,
he
hath
prorogued
the
term
for
the
Marquisat
until
the
beginning
of
January
,
which
being
so
,
there
is
no
great
cause
of
his
going
to
Lyons
,
for
his
marriage
with
the
Princess
of
Florence
goeth
rather
Backward
than
forward
,
there
having
been
yet
never
any
motion
made
of
it
directly
on
his
part
,
and
the
Emperor
pursuing
it
very
early
.
Of
the
Archduke's
arryvall
in
the
low-countries
we
hear
not
yet
,
but
suppose
he
is
well
onward
in
his
way
thither
.
Here
is
a
secret
muttering
of
an
enterprise
intended
by
the
states
,
with
some
secret
favor
from
hence
,
for
the
kingdom
of
Portugal
,
in
favor
of
the
Duke
of
Braganza
;
not
without
the
secret
allowance
of
the
Pope
,
as
I
am
informed
.
And
surely
if
the
matter
of
the
Marquisat
break
out
into
war
,
I
think
verily
it
will
be
set
on
foot
,
and
will
be
communicated
unto
her
Majesty
.
In
the
mean
time
,
some
speaches
have
been
cast
out
afar
off
of
such
a
matter
,
whereof
I
have
laid
no
hold
,
because
I
had
no
commission
to
warrant
me
to
deal
in
that
matter
.
The
princes
of
Lorraine
,
absolutely
refused
to
come
with
the
King
to
this
town
,
saying
they
would
not
march
in
the
blood
of
their
house
.
And
so
hoping
e're
it
be
long
to
have
occasion
to
write
again
,
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
,
&
c

Sir

to

Secretary

.
Right
honorable
,
Blois
28th
July
1599
.
O
.
S
.
IT
may
please
you
to
understand
that
I
received
your
dispatch
of
the
13th
July
the
23d
of
the
same
,
and
thereupon
sent
to
the
court
to
pray
audience
,
which
was
granted
me
against
the
next
day
.
At
my
repair
unto
the
King
I
delivered
him
her
Majesty's
letters
,
shewed
him
the
effect
of
them
,
and
related
at
length
the
state
of
the
cause
,
as
it
is
contained
in
the
copie
of
the
letter
which
her
Majesty
first
intended
to
write
;
avowing
on
her
Majesty's
behalf
,
that
the
prize
of
the
Marseillian
ship
by
her
Majesty's
ship
of
war
,
was
justifiable
by
the
law
of
armes
and
by
his
own
ordinances
,
and
a
thing
done
in
his
service
and
not
any
way
be
called
in
question
:
whereas
on
the
other
side
,
the
Marseillians
,
in
taking
of
the
English
ship
,
had
utterly
no
color
or
foundation
,
but
that
it
was
done
altogether
without
any
form
of
justice
,
of
their
own
authority
,
without
any
commission
or
letters
of
represall
from
the
King
,
and
without
requiring
justice
first
in
England
,
as
all
the
treaties
,
both
old
and
new
,
do
in
that
case
require
:
and
therefore
,
although
there
might
be
some
doubt
conceived
of
the
former
prize
made
by
her
Majesty's
ships
of
war
;
yet
,
for
as
much
as
the
second
prize
made
by
them
of
marseilles
,
was
manifestly
unjust
and
against
the
treaties
;
it
was
just
and
reasonable
,
and
so
I
did
require
on
her
Majesty's
behalf
,
that
her
subjects
might
be
reintegrated
in
the
ship
and
goods
then
taken
from
them
,
and
recompensed
of
the
damage
,
loss
,
and
charges
they
have
sustained
about
that
cause
,
and
that
afterwards
the
right
and
justice
of
the
former
prize
might
be
debated
;
wherein
her
Majesty
would
be
always
content
to
yield
to
that
which
was
just
and
reasonable
.
The
King
answered
,
he
would
be
very
sorry
any
subjects
of
his
should
offer
wrong
to
any
of
his
good
sisters
,
and
that
he
would
by
no
means
permit
it
;
and
therefore
willed
me
to
deliver
a
note
of
the
matter
to
his
counsel
,
who
should
consider
of
it
and
give
me
answer
.
Then
I
told
him
,
that
upon
relation
from
me
of
the
complaint
he
had
used
at
my
first
and
second
audience
,
of
want
of
justice
on
our
part
upon
offenders
and
offenses
at
sea
,
(
as
he
had
received
information
from
his
Ambassador
)
her
Majesty
had
sent
those
she
had
deputed
to
deal
in
those
causes
to
his
Ambassador
,
to
know
wherein
he
found
himself
greeved
,
and
to
let
him
see
the
particularities
and
reasons
of
their
proceedings
;
who
upon
that
conference
confessed
,
he
had
in
all
points
received
very
good
justice
,
and
that
touching
the
delay
used
both
in
the
judgment
and
execution
of
some
causes
,
now
he
was
informed
of
the
reason
thereof
,
he
was
likewise
very
well
satisfied
:
and
that
her
Majesty
thought
it
sit
to
let
him
know
thus
much
,
that
he
might
see
the
regard
she
bare
to
him
,
and
her
desire
to
give
him
and
his
subjects
all
good
contentment
.
He
told
me
,
he
took
it
in
very
kind
part
,
that
her
Majesty
was
so
careful
to
see
justice
done
unto
his
subjects
,
and
willed
me
to
assure
her
of
all
good
correspondence
on
his
part
.
Then
I
came
to
speak
of
the
advertisements
her
Majesty
had
received
,
of
the
two
Spaniards
coming
to
Brest
,
and
their
errand
thither
,
which
the
King
would
in
no
wise
believe
,
saying
,
that
Monsieur
de
Sourdiac
parted
from
him
at
Orleans
but
four
days
before
,
and
he
was
sure
would
have
told
him
if
there
had
been
any
such
thing
.
I
replied
,
that
the
Queen
was
advertised
by
so
good
means
,
that
she
could
not
but
give
some
credit
unto
it
;
and
therefore
prayed
him
to
inform
himself
of
the
truth
of
it
,
and
to
acquaint
her
Majesty
with
it
,
that
she
might
thereby
discover
the
more
of
the
King
of
Spain's
designs
;
and
to
take
order
,
that
neither
there
nor
in
any
other
port
of
his
kingdom
,
they
might
receive
any
harbor
or
succour
,
it
being
a
thing
altogether
contrary
to
the
treaties
,
and
far
from
that
friendship
that
her
Majesty
had
cause
to
expect
at
his
hands
.
He
willed
me
to
assure
the
Queen
,
that
there
should
not
be
any
such
thing
permitted
in
any
place
of
his
kingdom
,
and
seemed
to
wonder
that
the
Spaniards
should
presume
so
much
upon
him
,
saying
,
there
was
no
such
good
intelligence
between
them
,
but
he
would
send
to
Monsieur
de
Sourdiac
.
After
this
I
told
him
,
that
his
Ambassador
had
signifyed
unto
her
Majesty
,
that
he
was
willing
to
continue
the
treaty
of
Blois
made
between
her
and
King
Charles
the
9th
,
which
she
took
as
an
argument
of
his
good
affection
,
in
that
he
was
desirous
to
confirm
a
treaty
of
so
straight
amity
between
them
and
their
subjects
as
that
was
,
and
had
willed
me
to
let
him
know
,
that
she
did
likewise
very
willingly
assent
unto
the
continuance
and
confirmation
of
it
;
and
that
she
was
also
well
content
to
annex
and
incorporate
into
it
,
such
articles
as
had
been
moved
to
be
established
,
for
reformation
of
abuses
committed
at
sea
;
only
she
desired
him
to
allow
of
some
alteration
in
one
of
them
,
which
concerned
the
free
passage
of
all
ships
carrying
French
flaggs
,
wherein
she
had
already
found
great
inconveniency
,
as
I
particularly
rehearsed
unto
him
,
of
the
four
Spanish
ships
which
escaped
by
that
means
,
and
of
the
two
biscainers
which
brought
succours
to
the
rebels
in
Ireland
:
and
therefore
desired
that
some
other
expedient
might
be
thought
of
,
which
might
effect
his
purpose
and
desire
,
without
such
notable
prejudice
to
her
estate
,
and
benefit
to
her
enemies
.
The
King
said
,
it
was
reason
there
should
be
a
distinction
made
between
friends
and
foes
.
I
asked
him
how
that
could
be
,
if
the
carrying
of
a
flagg
(
which
all
ships
that
feared
us
would
be
sure
of
,)
were
made
a
sufficient
warrant
for
any
ship
to
pass
unsearched
,
or
uncontroll'd
;
and
therefore
prayed
him
again
to
consider
,
how
little
reason
and
safety
there
was
for
the
Queen
in
that
course
.
I
told
him
also
,
that
there
are
some
few
points
likewise
which
her
Majesty
desired
might
likewise
be
added
to
the
treaty
of
Blois
it
self
,
which
I
hoped
upon
conference
would
appear
so
reasonable
,
as
they
would
not
be
disliked
.
His
answer
to
all
was
,
that
he
would
depute
some
of
his
counsel
,
to
treat
of
these
points
with
me
,
and
would
be
ever
willing
to
give
the
Queen
his
good
sister
all
contentment
reasonable
;
and
so
dismissed
me
,
having
first
shewed
me
where
the
Duke
of
Guise
was
killed
;
and
made
the
more
haste
to
dispatch
me
,
as
I
guess
,
because
the
Ambassador
of
Savoy
was
attending
without
in
the
mean
time
for
audience
.
That
afternoon
,
which
was
the
first
opportunity
I
could
have
,
I
was
with
monsieur
Villeroy
,
and
repeated
unto
him
what
had
passed
between
the
King
and
me
,
and
desired
I
might
receive
some
satisfaction
in
the
matters
I
had
moved
.
For
the
matter
of
marseilles
,
he
said
monsieur
de
boissise
had
written
of
it
,
and
had
advertised
him
that
the
commissioners
were
all
of
opinion
,
that
the
first
prize
made
by
the
Queen's
ships
was
not
good
,
and
that
restitution
should
be
made
thereupon
:
which
being
done
,
those
of
marseilles
would
likewise
restore
the
prize
they
had
taken
;
but
that
since
some
of
the
counsel
had
been
of
another
mind
,
belike
upon
some
particular
respect
and
interest
.
I
told
him
,
no
particular
man
could
have
interest
in
that
prize
,
being
made
by
one
of
the
Queen's
ships
of
war
,
and
therefore
that
was
but
a
mean
surmize
without
ground
.
He
said
he
was
informed
,
that
at
that
very
instant
,
the
Marseillians
did
ordinarily
trade
,
and
were
wellcome
into
England
,
and
were
not
at
that
time
actually
declared
against
the
King
,
and
therefore
had
no
war
with
us
:
and
if
they
had
been
so
declared
against
the
King
,
yet
as
we
justifyd
our
prize
upon
them
by
the
war
,
so
would
they
justify
theirs
upon
us
;
which
I
seeing
to
be
his
chief
anchor-hold
,
told
him
,
that
we
did
not
so
much
justify
the
prize
we
made
by
the
war
,
(
for
that
indeed
the
Marseillians
were
not
then
in
actual
rebellion
against
the
King
)
as
by
the
King's
ordinance
,
confiscating
all
goods
that
his
subjects
should
carry
to
any
town
revolted
,
which
gave
authority
to
any
in
his
service
,
to
fease
and
take
them
:
and
that
those
ships
of
war
were
then
in
his
service
,
and
at
his
request
appointed
to
keep
the
coast
for
that
only
purpose
,
to
impeach
the
traffick
,
and
to
interrupt
all
such
things
as
should
presume
so
much
upon
those
revolted
towns
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
prize
made
by
the
Marseillians
upon
us
,
which
were
then
the
King's
friends
and
theirs
,
and
without
either
letters
of
represall
from
the
King
,
or
without
any
requisition
of
justice
made
on
their
parts
,
and
refused
on
ours
;
was
without
any
ground
or
color
of
justice
,
and
contrary
to
all
the
treaties
between
the
two
crowns
:
and
therefore
that
it
was
just
and
meet
that
the
Queen's
subjects
should
be
fust
reintegrated
in
that
which
was
taken
from
them
without
any
form
of
justice
,
and
afterwards
the
right
of
the
other
prize
might
be
debated
likewise
.
He
replied
nothing
,
but
only
willed
me
to
deliver
a
particular
memorial
of
the
case
in
writing
,
which
he
would
present
to
the
counsel
,
and
procure
me
an
answer
.
Touching
the
justice
done
upon
their
complaints
,
he
confessed
their
ambassadors
had
given
very
good
testimony
of
his
satisfaction
.
For
the
matter
of
Brest
he
answered
as
the
King
had
done
,
but
promised
to
be
throughly
informed
of
it
;
assuring
me
the
King
would
permit
no
such
matter
,
to
the
hurt
or
disfavour
of
her
Majesty
,
with
whome
he
so
much
desired
to
hold
all
good
amity
and
correspondence
.
He
told
me
also
,
that
the
Queen
should
not
need
to
doubt
any
such
attempt
now
;
for
though
the
King
of
Spain
had
assembled
a
good
army
at
lengthe
,
yet
he
thought
he
had
no
intention
to
provoke
her
Majesty
anew
;
and
although
he
had
,
yet
at
this
time
he
was
forced
to
employ
his
forces
another
way
,
by
reason
that
the
states
army
had
taken
the
great
canaries
,
as
certain
advertisements
came
yesternight
.
Hence
we
came
to
speak
of
the
treaties
of
Blois
,
and
the
reglement
for
marine
causes
:
for
the
first
,
he
said
,
the
King
was
ever
willing
,
as
he
had
often
told
,
to
make
straight
amity
with
the
Queen
,
either
by
renewing
that
treaty
,
or
in
any
other
sort
that
should
be
reasonable
;
and
said
,
your
honor
had
desired
to
add
two
articles
unto
it
,
which
their
Ambassador
had
sent
him
,
and
that
they
were
likewise
desirous
to
add
some
in
behalf
of
their
own
merchants
.
Whereupon
fearing
they
might
be
such
,
as
might
marr
all
the
rest
,
and
take
away
the
advantage
we
have
now
in
that
treaty
:
I
told
him
my
commission
was
double
in
this
matter
;
first
,
to
propose
the
renewing
the
treaty
as
it
is
,
where
the
King
seems
tyed
by
the
treaty
to
declare
his
intention
to
her
Majesty
,
she
being
the
survivor
,
and
he
the
successor
of
him
who
last
confirmed
it
.
Secondly
,
might
likewise
move
addition
on
their
part
;
but
if
they
should
not
agree
upon
the
additions
,
yet
the
Queen
conceived
that
the
King
had
offered
her
to
move
the
addition
of
those
articles
that
had
been
spoken
of
to
Monsieur
Boissise
and
some
other
,
in
which
case
they
confirmation
of
the
treaty
as
it
is
,
to
which
he
seemed
to
assent
:
and
thereupon
he
entered
into
some
speech
of
dislike
of
the
second
point
required
to
be
added
touching
the
staple
of
the
hanses
;
I
told
him
,
it
was
a
thing
might
be
greatly
prejudicial
to
her
Majesty
,
if
they
might
be
suffered
to
make
France
a
bridge
and
passage
to
convey
their
commodities
of
that
kind
into
Spain
,
and
would
neither
agree
with
our
amity
,
nor
greatly
advantage
France
,
that
their
new
and
scarce
assured
friend
,
should
be
so
strengthned
against
us
,
their
so
well
approved
friends
.
He
bad
me
assure
my
self
that
the
King
would
never
suffer
it
;
but
in
some
things
he
said
we
must
trust
them
,
or
if
we
would
needs
require
an
article
for
it
,
it
must
be
General
,
without
naming
any
particularly
,
either
to
whom
,
or
at
from
whom
,
those
commodities
should
come
.
Lastly
,
we
came
to
speak
of
the
alteration
required
in
that
article
of
reglement
touching
the
free
passage
of
all
ships
bearing
French
flaggs
,
which
he
insisted
much
upon
,
saying
,
that
it
was
agreed
upon
after
long
debate
and
consultation
on
both
sides
,
and
that
it
was
the
only
way
to
prevent
the
abuses
and
spoils
which
would
be
committed
,
if
liberty
of
searching
were
permitted
.
I
told
him
,
for
the
first
point
I
was
very
well
acquainted
with
the
proceedings
of
this
matter
,
and
I
did
know
very
perfectly
,
that
this
point
was
very
much
insisted
upon
by
your
honor
,
and
absolutely
refused
to
be
passed
in
that
sort
he
required
it
,
and
that
monsieur
de
boissise
had
assented
to
admit
some
exceptions
;
but
that
afterwards
her
Majesty
,
upon
new
instance
,
being
ever
desirous
to
give
the
King
all
contentment
that
her
estate
would
permit
,
had
condescended
to
make
some
trial
of
the
course
he
propounded
,
and
that
upon
trial
thereof
she
had
found
so
great
inconveniency
already
happened
,
and
like
to
happen
daily
,
as
she
had
just
cause
to
refuse
it
,
and
to
pray
the
King
to
be
contented
,
that
some
other
more
indifferent
course
might
be
thought
of
,
which
was
the
furest
way
to
make
the
treaty
to
have
continuance
;
whereof
otherwise
necessity
would
enforce
them
to
break
it
,
who
found
so
great
inequality
and
disadvantage
in
it
.
For
the
second
I
said
,
the
experience
they
had
lately
made
of
her
Majesty's
care
and
indulgence
to
minister
justice
in
the
like
complaints
,
might
secure
them
from
all
doubt
or
danger
of
any
abuse
to
grow
that
way
;
and
therefore
I
prayed
him
not
to
do
her
Majesty
that
wrong
to
distrust
her
any
more
than
she
did
them
,
but
that
in
confidence
one
of
anothers
sincerity
,
as
was
meet
to
be
among
good
friends
,
we
might
think
of
some
equal
course
for
both
.
He
said
,
he
did
not
see
how
there
could
be
any
other
safe
course
devised
for
their
side
.
Thereupon
I
told
him
,
I
was
sure
monsieur
de
boissise
had
acquainted
him
with
that
which
had
been
propounded
from
your
honor
out
of
their
own
ordinances
,
which
I
also
shewed
him
,
together
with
another
article
I
had
collected
out
of
the
same
ordinances
,
whereof
I
send
your
honor
a
copie
:
and
I
said
,
as
their
kings
had
thought
it
reasonable
to
prescribe
that
law
not
only
to
their
subjects
,
but
their
allyes
also
,
so
was
it
as
reasonable
and
as
lawful
for
her
Majesty
to
do
the
same
:
and
therefore
I
wished
that
we
might
follow
those
ordinances
as
a
ground
,
and
add
thereunto
such
other
conditions
,
as
should
be
reasonable
.
His
answer
was
,
that
we
might
make
what
ordinances
we
would
,
for
government
of
our
own
people
,
and
so
might
they
for
theirs
;
but
in
penning
a
treaty
,
both
sides
must
agree
,
and
nether
interests
must
govern
the
other
.
I
replied
,
that
they
had
made
that
ordinance
,
to
take
hold
of
their
allies
as
well
as
their
subjects
;
and
if
we
now
required
them
to
be
contented
to
receive
the
same
measure
they
had
given
to
others
,
they
could
not
with
any
reason
or
justice
refuse
it
;
for
if
it
were
just
on
their
side
,
it
is
as
just
on
ours
.
At
length
being
thus
pressed
upon
that
point
,
he
said
,
I
should
confer
with
the
counsel
upon
all
these
matters
,
and
they
would
consider
of
them
,
and
give
me
answer
.
After
this
,
because
I
would
give
him
some
occasion
,
to
discover
the
cause
of
derstood
there
were
such
ambassadors
here
,
who
had
lately
been
in
England
,
and
not
having
obtained
their
purpose
there
,
it
may
be
they
might
make
a
partial
report
of
their
differences
with
her
Majesty
,
to
her
disadvantage
and
dishonour
;
and
therefore
I
thought
good
to
let
him
know
the
truth
of
it
,
which
I
did
summarily
,
according
to
the
writing
your
honor
sent
me
.
He
seemed
very
glad
to
be
informed
of
it
,
and
said
he
would
be
always
ready
to
justify
her
Majesty's
honor
,
in
her
proceedings
with
them
and
the
rest
of
the
hanses
;
but
that
in
truth
,
the
hamburghers
had
made
no
complaint
of
her
Majesty's
proceedings
to
his
knowledge
,
and
that
their
business
here
,
was
only
to
renew
such
privileges
,
as
had
been
granted
them
heretofore
in
this
kingdom
.
I
prayed
him
,
therein
to
have
a
regard
,
that
there
might
grow
no
wrong
or
prejudice
to
his
other
allies
,
especially
in
such
sort
as
I
had
before
mentioned
;
he
willed
me
to
assure
my
self
,
that
there
was
no
such
thing
required
,
nor
if
it
were
,
would
be
granted
.
Lastly
,
I
told
him
I
had
received
commandment
to
make
new
instance
for
the
payment
of
the
money
,
the
Queen
my
Mistress
had
Lent
the
King
:
but
I
did
forbeare
it
,
until
I
had
received
answer
to
my
proposition
I
had
delivered
,
chiefly
touching
that
matter
:
hoping
that
the
reason
and
justice
of
the
cause
being
such
as
it
spake
sufficiently
for
it
self
,
they
would
without
any
further
poursuite
,
determine
to
give
her
Majesty
such
answer
as
might
content
her
,
which
I
prayed
him
I
might
receive
with
some
expedition
,
having
so
long
already
attended
for
it
,
and
her
Majesty
being
in
great
expectation
of
it
.
He
said
,
I
had
done
well
to
forbear
to
make
any
new
instance
in
it
to
the
matter
he
said
,
he
had
the
very
day
before
moved
the
counsel
,
that
I
might
receive
an
answer
with
some
satisfaction
to
her
Majesty
if
it
were
possible
,
but
he
saw
so
little
hope
thereof
,
that
he
was
very
loth
to
make
me
such
an
answer
as
would
so
little
content
me
.
I
said
I
must
needs
urge
him
for
an
answer
,
which
I
would
be
glad
might
be
such
,
as
her
Majesty
might
reap
some
comfort
and
contentment
for
her
kindness
towards
the
King
;
which
had
not
been
an
ordinary
kindness
,
but
such
as
all
the
allies
of
the
crown
of
France
put
together
,
had
not
performed
so
much
;
which
,
added
to
her
more
than
ordinary
occasions
to
require
reimbursement
,
deserved
more
than
an
ordinary
answer
.
He
confessed
all
to
be
true
that
I
said
,
and
that
the
King
was
bound
in
many
respects
to
give
her
Majesty
better
satisfaction
,
and
protested
he
had
done
and
would
do
,
his
best
endeavours
in
it
:
but
he
saw
no
possibility
for
this
present
year
;
but
they
were
now
beginning
dresser
l'estat
for
the
year
to
come
,
wherein
the
King
had
commanded
,
that
there
should
be
expresse
regard
had
of
her
Majesty's
contentment
;
but
what
it
would
be
in
particular
,
could
not
be
known
till
they
had
finished
the
state
,
which
would
be
about
the
end
of
August
.
He
advised
me
to
talk
with
Monsieur
de
Rosny
about
it
,
unto
whom
I
went
afterward
,
and
received
in
effect
the
same
answer
.
what
your
honor's
opinion
was
touching
his
being
installed
for
the
King
,
which
he
faith
proceeded
first
from
a
motion
made
by
some
in
England
to
the
Ambassador
for
that
purpose
:
but
seeing
he
perceaves
the
Queen
would
not
like
of
it
,
he
faith
the
King
will
think
of
some
other
.
I
made
a
motion
as
of
my
self
,
protesting
that
I
had
no
commission
to
do
it
,
but
that
it
came
only
out
of
my
desire
that
the
King
would
not
too
much
discontent
her
Majesty
,
but
shew
a
desire
at
least
to
satisfy
her
some
way
,
that
he
should
make
her
an
offer
of
some
corn
,
to
be
delivered
at
some
ports
most
convenient
for
her
,
which
perhaps
she
would
accept
in
steed
of
money
,
at
the
least
for
so
much
as
she
should
had
occasion
to
use
in
Ireland
,
for
the
victualling
of
her
army
and
garrisons
there
;
or
howsoever
,
yet
it
would
somewhat
moderate
the
discontentment
which
otherwise
she
might
justly
conceive
,
to
be
utterly
neglected
.
He
seemed
to
hearken
willingly
unto
it
,
and
gave
me
thanks
for
putting
him
in
mind
of
it
,
saying
he
would
propose
it
as
of
himself
to
the
King
,
and
that
he
verily
hoped
somthing
would
be
done
that
way
.
So
that
now
it
may
please
your
honor
to
let
me
know
,
how
much
or
to
what
a
value
her
Majesty
will
accept
in
that
sort
;
for
myne
own
part
,
I
think
all
is
well
gotten
that
can
be
won
out
of
these
men's
hands
:
and
as
for
the
prices
,
I
make
no
doubt
but
they
will
be
as
reasonable
,
or
more
,
than
the
prices
in
England
,
for
it
is
the
only
thing
that
is
cheape
here
.
Also
I
would
desire
to
know
at
what
places
her
Majesty
would
desire
to
receive
it
,
for
I
think
that
will
be
all
one
to
them
.
I
have
procured
the
King's
letters
under
the
great
seal
,
to
stay
the
execution
of
the
letters
of
mart
granted
to
certain
merchants
of
Bayonne
.
And
for
the
matter
of
the
seminary
at
Rheims
,
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
shewed
me
the
Archbishop's
letter
to
the
King
,
wherein
he
confesseth
,
that
such
a
thing
had
been
moved
and
followed
by
one
barret
an
English
Priest
,
that
had
heretofore
been
governor
of
that
colledge
;
but
that
since
his
death
which
happen'd
about
whitsuntyde
last
,
the
matter
hath
lyen
dead
,
and
now
he
understands
the
King's
pleasure
in
it
,
he
assureth
it
shall
not
be
revived
.
I
send
your
honor
a
copie
of
the
commission
granted
by
the
King
to
do
justice
in
marine
causes
,
it
may
please
you
to
give
order
to
all
such
as
have
cause
of
complaint
in
that
kind
,
to
send
some
one
over
at
common
charge
,
which
may
be
throughly
instructed
in
their
causes
,
and
armed
with
sufficient
proofes
,
which
may
attend
and
follow
their
business
;
my
self
will
be
always
ready
to
assist
him
the
best
I
may
;
but
the
stating
of
the
causes
being
at
Rouen
,
and
I
remaining
so
far
off
,
nether
I
nor
any
of
myne
,
can
attend
to
follow
their
suits
:
I
would
be
glad
they
might
receive
some
justice
here
,
as
well
as
their
people
have
done
in
England
,
and
I
hope
to
procure
it
.
I
thought
good
to
send
away
this
bearer
with
thus
much
,
because
I
understand
honor
should
be
acquainted
with
all
that
hath
passed
between
us
,
as
well
,
and
as
soon
as
he
.
Whiles
these
matters
are
in
handling
,
it
will
be
necessary
that
the
curriers
be
the
more
set
on
work
;
these
matters
once
ended
,
there
will
be
no
more
that
occasion
,
and
the
extraordinary
expense
now
,
may
be
saved
afterwards
terwards
.
As
soon
as
I
have
treated
with
the
counsel
,
and
received
my
answer
,
I
will
send
again
.
In
the
mean
time
,
I
send
your
honor
a
project
of
mine
own
for
the
article
of
the
treaty
of
depredations
,
which
you
desire
to
have
altered
,
it
may
be
they
will
especially
except
to
the
point
of
victuaills
;
your
honor
will
be
pleased
I
hope
,
to
let
me
understand
your
pleasure
therein
,
and
generally
,
what
I
shall
yield
,
and
what
I
shall
insist
upon
.
And
so
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's

HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Blois
1st
August
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
was
yesterday
in
conference
with
the
counsel
,
viz
.
The
Chancellor
,
the
presented
in
writing
at
Orleans
,
desiring
I
might
after
so
long
attendance
at
length
receive
an
answer
;
and
in
the
matter
of
the
money
,
adding
what
weight
of
reason
and
persuasion
my
poor
wits
were
able
to
afford
.
Their
answer
were
full
of
very
good
words
,
acknowledging
the
Queen's
many
favors
,
and
the
King's
great
obligation
to
her
:
that
they
were
already
entered
into
consultation
which
way
to
give
her
satisfaction
,
and
that
very
shortly
I
should
receive
an
answer
.
Afterwards
we
entered
into
conference
of
the
points
I
had
last
in
charge
:
first
,
touching
the
matter
of
Marseilles
,
which
I
related
unto
them
,
as
I
had
done
before
to
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
and
certified
in
my
last
dispatch
.
They
answered
,
they
would
with
all
convenient
speed
inform
themselves
of
the
particulars
of
the
cause
,
and
then
I
should
receive
satisfaction
.
Secondly
,
we
spake
of
the
article
of
the
treaty
or
reglement
of
depredations
,
which
I
desired
might
be
changed
,
and
qualified
in
such
sort
,
as
her
Majesty
might
be
freed
from
such
inconveniences
as
had
thereby
already
happened
,
and
were
daily
like
to
happen
;
which
I
declared
in
particular
,
shewing
that
the
matter
imported
us
much
more
than
it
did
them
;
for
it
concerned
them
only
in
profit
,
but
it
concerned
us
in
our
preservation
,
and
that
the
Queen
was
resolute
not
to
suffer
so
notable
a
prejudice
any
longer
;
and
therefore
wished
they
would
enter
into
consultation
of
some
other
course
,
more
equal
and
indifferent
for
us
both
;
and
for
the
more
speedy
proceeding
therein
,
I
said
her
Majesty
had
proposed
unto
Monsieur
Boissise
,
certain
articles
taken
out
of
their
own
ordinances
,
which
she
thought
not
impertinent
to
be
put
in
execution
on
both
sides
.
Which
being
redd
,
were
absolutely
refused
by
them
all
,
alleging
that
those
ordinances
were
made
for
a
time
,
and
on
a
special
occasion
,
ever
resisted
by
their
allies
as
unreasonable
,
therefore
we
must
not
think
to
thrust
them
upon
them
now
.
I
told
them
if
they
were
just
then
when
they
made
them
,
they
were
as
just
now
,
no
Prince
having
ever
had
more
occasion
to
be
jealous
of
that
which
is
done
at
sea
,
than
her
Majesty
hath
now
;
besides
,
we
required
nothing
of
them
but
that
we
were
content
to
yield
them
,
which
would
be
no
disadvantage
;
and
therefore
they
must
be
contented
to
secure
her
Majesty
either
that
way
,
or
some
other
way
to
the
same
purpose
;
for
the
greatest
law
of
all
,
was
that
of
a
man's
own
preservation
;
and
they
might
be
assured
,
the
Queen
would
not
betray
herself
and
her
estate
,
nor
suffer
her
enemie
to
be
armed
and
strengthned
against
her
,
when
she
had
power
to
impeach
it
;
and
if
they
were
such
friends
to
us
as
they
pretended
,
they
would
not
upon
such
petty
respects
of
profit
,
urge
any
thing
that
they
saw
by
evident
proof
so
prejudicial
unto
us
;
but
would
rather
according
to
the
natur
e
of
true
amity
,
bear
or
suffer
a
little
for
the
good
of
their
friends
;
and
this
was
the
only
thing
wherein
we
had
hitherto
had
occasion
to
make
trial
of
their
friendship
towards
us
:
all
that
hath
passed
until
now
between
us
having
been
burden
and
charge
unto
us
,
without
any
return
on
their
part
.
They
answered
,
it
was
not
reasonable
they
should
presse
any
thing
that
should
be
so
prejudicial
unto
us
as
it
seemed
this
might
be
;
yet
on
the
other
side
,
they
could
not
any
way
endure
that
yoke
of
servitude
,
to
have
their
ships
searched
;
assuring
themselves
that
course
would
never
pass
without
great
wrong
and
injustice
to
the
weaker
;
but
they
would
consult
of
it
,
and
confer
with
their
Admiral
and
other
officers
,
who
understood
more
of
these
matters
than
they
did
,
and
thereupon
advise
of
some
course
which
might
be
more
to
our
contentment
,
and
advertise
their
Ambassador
of
it
,
to
impart
unto
her
Majesty
and
her
counsel
.
I
understood
since
by
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
that
he
had
received
fresh
advertisements
out
of
Spain
,
containing
confirmation
of
the
taking
of
the
great
Canaries
by
the
Hollanders
,
and
withal
that
the
King's
fleet
is
assembled
at
Ferrol
,
consisting
of
150
sail
or
thereabout
,
and
12000
men
.
His
opinion
is
,
if
the
Hollanders
possess
and
hold
the
island
,
then
the
King
will
send
his
whole
fleet
that
way
;
otherwise
,
if
they
leave
the
island
and
follow
after
prey
and
gaine
,
he
beleeves
that
a
great
part
of
this
fleet
will
come
for
Ireland
,
or
some
part
of
England
,
and
therefore
wisheth
the
Queen
not
to
be
unprovided
in
both
.
Of
the
matters
of
the
Low
Countries
,
your
honor
is
better
,
and
more
speedily
advertised
than
they
be
here
,
therefore
I
forbear
.
I
send
you
a
copy
of
the
King's
letters
of
prohibition
,
to
receive
,
harbor
,
or
favor
any
ships
of
war
in
the
parts
of
this
kingdom
.
I
thought
good
to
send
this
bearer
expresly
,
the
rather
,
because
this
advertisement
out
of
Spain
seems
to
be
of
importance
.
I
send
your
honor
a
copy
of
the
advertisements
that
came
yesterday
out
of
Spain
,
which
because
they
seem
to
be
of
much
moment
,
I
have
willed
the
Messenger
to
take
post
that
he
may
make
hast
.
It
may
please
your
honor
to
consider
of
him
in
his
allowance
accordingly
.
You
must
look
for
no
money
hence
till
the
next
year
,
and
then
,
without
all
doubt
,
you
may
make
some
certain
account
,
to
receive
some
good
sum
.
The
20000
crowns
will
not
fail
to
be
ready
at
Michaelmas
,
and
shall
be
paied
at
Rouen
or
Dieppe
,
which
her
Majesty
will
.
The
*
German
army
is
already
come
to
the
Rhine
,
with
a
purpose
to
attempt
the
fort
the
Spaniards
have
built
at
Rees
,
to
defend
their
bridge
.
The
princes
that
deal
in
this
action
are
,
the
Duke
of
Brunswick
,
the
Landgrave
of
Hesse
,
and
the
Marquis
of
Ansbach
of
the
house
of
Brandenburg
,
the
rest
have
retired
themselves
.
We
hold
they
have
already
taken
Berck
.
The
Spaniards
are
gone
out
of
the
isle
of
Bommel
to
meet
with
them
,
having
left
in
the
fort
3000
foot
and
400
horse
.
The
States
labor
by
all
means
to
join
the
German
army
with
theirs
,
whereunto
most
of
the
German
commanders
have
assented
,
and
it
is
hoped
it
will
be
effected
,
though
some
be
unwilling
.
The
Duke
of
Brunswick
and
the
Landgrave
are
looked
for
in
person
in
the
camp
every
day
.
And
so
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
,
&
c

HENRY
NEVILLE

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr

Secretary
Cecyll

Right
honorable
,
Paris
,
7

1599
.
O
.
S
.
It
may
please
you
to
understand
,
that
within
a
day
after
I
sent
away
my
last
dispatch
,
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
came
to
my
lodging
at
Blois
,
and
after
long
and
solemn
protestations
from
himself
and
the
rest
of
the
Council
,
how
sorry
they
were
that
the
King's
disability
at
present
would
not
suffer
him
to
give
the
Queen
better
satisfaction
at
this
time
,
acknowledging
the
great
justice
and
reason
of
her
demands
,
the
King's
great
obligations
towards
her
,
and
assuring
me
of
a
full
and
settled
purpose
in
the
King
and
them
all
,
to
give
her
Majesty
very
good
contentment
this
next
year
:
he
delivered
me
answer
in
writing
,
to
that
I
had
likewise
presented
in
writing
at
my
first
coming
to
Orleans
;
excusing
the
long
deferring
of
it
,
upon
his
desire
to
have
given
me
some
certainty
of
that
her
Majesty
should
expect
this
next
year
;
for
which
cause
(
but
for
the
instance
and
earnestness
I
have
used
)
he
would
still
have
deferred
it
,
until
the
state
of
the
receipts
and
payments
for
the
next
year
had
been
perfected
,
which
would
be
within
five
or
six
weeks
.
But
for
my
satisfaction
,
and
likewise
for
my
discharge
,
that
there
might
appear
no
default
in
my
diligence
,
he
had
brought
me
this
answer
in
the
mean
time
,
which
he
prayed
me
to
interpret
the
best
of
,
and
to
assure
her
Majesty
,
that
there
wanted
rather
means
than
good
will
in
the
King
to
satisfy
her
:
and
that
he
would
be
alway
ready
,
not
only
to
pay
her
what
he
owed
as
soon
as
possibly
he
could
,
to
which
in
honor
and
justice
he
was
bound
;
but
also
to
expose
his
whole
force
,
and
his
own
person
in
her
defence
,
if
she
had
need
at
any
time
,
to
requite
the
faithful
friendship
he
had
found
at
her
hands
.
When
I
had
received
the
answer
,
I
told
him
,
I
was
sorry
that
the
great
deserts
of
her
Majesty
,
and
the
reason
and
justice
of
her
demands
,
which
they
did
so
fully
acknowledge
,
together
with
the
instance
and
solicitation
I
had
used
ever
since
my
coming
,
had
wrought
so
little
effect
for
her
Majesty's
contentment
.
I
put
him
in
mind
of
that
speech
I
had
before
used
to
the
Council
,
namely
,
that
I
prayed
them
to
consider
to
whom
it
was
that
they
were
to
give
an
answer
,
and
upon
what
subject
and
occasion
:
that
it
was
to
a
great
Princess
,
who
had
most
faithfully
and
sincerely
assisted
the
King
in
his
greatest
extremity
;
and
that
having
means
,
and
great
opportunity
to
have
dismembered
and
ruined
the
crown
of
France
,
and
perhaps
to
have
taken
a
good
portion
of
it
herself
,
(
as
many
other
Princes
would
gladly
have
done
,
and
some
did
,
detaining
it
to
this
day
,)
chose
rather
to
employ
her
uttermost
means
and
forces
to
preserve
it
;
and
had
effected
perhaps
more
therein
than
all
the
rest
of
the
friends
and
allies
of
the
crown
of
France
;
neglecting
in
some
sort
her
own
affairs
for
that
purpose
,
and
not
refusing
to
bring
herself
into
some
want
to
supply
them
.
That
she
now
demanding
nothing
but
some
part
of
her
own
,
whereof
she
had
disfurnished
herself
to
furnish
them
;
and
that
not
upon
any
light
occasion
,
but
being
as
they
all
knew
in
actual
war
,
both
at
home
within
her
own
realm
of
Ireland
and
abroad
,
against
one
of
the
greatest
and
most
potent
Princes
of
Europe
,
whose
continual
attempts
and
designs
against
her
she
could
not
repel
as
she
had
done
,
but
with
great
and
continual
charge
;
and
therefore
that
this
her
so
extraordinary
occasions
,
joined
with
the
great
reason
and
justice
of
her
demands
,
deserved
at
their
hands
a
more
than
ordinary
acknowledgment
and
care
to
content
her
.
That
this
answer
might
well
have
been
given
to
the
Signory
of
Venice
,
or
the
Duke
of
Florence
,
who
perhaps
out
of
their
abundance
had
lent
the
King
some
money
,
and
being
in
peace
with
all
the
world
,
had
no
great
occasion
to
press
him
for
repayment
.
Whereas
the
Queen
my
Mistress
,
by
reason
of
her
present
war
,
and
the
continual
burden
she
hath
borne
almost
alone
for
many
years
to
the
benefit
of
all
Christendom
,
in
withstanding
the
intended
Monarchy
of
Spain
,
could
not
have
time
or
means
to
gather
much
treasure
.
Therefore
I
wished
them
to
weigh
with
themselves
,
first
,
whether
it
were
just
,
in
so
great
a
difference
of
merits
and
occasions
,
not
to
make
a
difference
of
their
proceedings
and
acknowledgment
:
and
secondly
,
whether
it
could
be
for
their
advantage
and
the
good
of
their
affairs
,
to
suffer
their
friends
to
fall
into
any
inconvenience
for
the
good
will
they
had
performed
towards
them
;
and
that
the
world
should
discover
that
the
friendship
of
France
is
rather
amicitia
peregravans
and
burdensome
,
than
profitable
to
them
which
embrace
it
.
And
this
I
said
for
the
generality
of
the
answer
,
but
in
particular
I
excepted
against
that
part
of
the
answer
which
concern
the
customs
of
Rouen
and
Newhaven
,
which
I
said
unto
him
,
I
marvelled
how
they
could
make
with
any
show
or
regard
of
honor
,
giving
just
occasion
to
the
Queen
to
think
,
that
in
offering
her
assurance
for
her
money
there
was
an
intention
to
abuse
her
,
seeing
the
same
was
before
engaged
to
others
.
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
to
the
first
part
of
my
speech
answered
,
that
he
confessed
all
to
be
true
that
I
said
,
and
that
I
had
all
justice
and
reason
on
my
side
:
but
that
the
King's
disability
was
such
,
by
reason
of
the
desolation
of
his
country
,
and
poverty
of
the
people
,
from
whom
his
revenues
do
arise
,
that
he
could
do
no
more
for
this
year
;
and
therefore
desired
that
her
Majesty
would
add
this
to
her
former
great
favors
towards
the
King
,
to
have
patience
for
a
few
months
.
To
the
second
point
he
said
,
that
in
very
deed
the
King
knew
not
in
what
sort
those
customs
stood
,
till
the
towns
came
into
his
hands
,
and
that
if
there
were
any
fault
it
was
in
his
ministers
,
who
knew
those
things
better
than
he
:
that
the
King's
intention
was
not
to
abuse
her
Majesty
,
and
that
now
he
found
in
what
estate
those
customs
stood
,
he
would
think
of
satisfying
her
by
some
other
means
,
which
he
thought
would
be
all
one
to
her
,
so
she
might
receive
satisfaction
any
way
.
I
told
him
,
I
would
relate
this
answer
to
her
Majesty
,
which
I
knew
not
how
she
would
interpret
;
but
I
knew
it
would
nothing
answer
her
expectation
.
And
therefore
wished
him
to
make
her
some
amends
for
this
long
delay
,
by
assignation
of
some
round
sum
for
the
next
year
,
and
to
be
paid
in
the
first
quarter
,
that
she
might
make
use
of
it
for
her
preparations
against
the
beginning
of
summer
.
He
said
he
would
do
his
best
to
procure
it
should
be
so
.
We
had
likewise
some
speech
about
the
20000
crowns
in
what
money
it
should
be
paid
;
I
urging
the
payment
in
gold
,
in
lieu
of
the
charge
and
trouble
saved
of
paying
it
in
London
,
which
the
King
was
bound
to
by
the
obligation
,
and
because
that
French
silver
coin
is
not
current
in
England
.
I
was
answered
,
the
King
could
not
pay
it
but
in
such
money
as
he
received
,
which
was
altogether
silver
,
and
their
silver
was
so
good
,
that
I
should
be
willing
enough
to
receive
it
here
,
and
to
pay
it
in
London
.
The
place
of
payment
they
required
to
be
at
Rouen
,
which
I
disliked
not
,
but
yet
desired
if
her
Majesty
liked
better
to
receive
it
at
Dieppe
that
it
might
be
paid
there
,
which
was
granted
.
It
may
please
your
honor
to
direct
me
before
the
time
what
course
shall
be
taken
for
the
conveying
of
it
,
or
otherwise
making
it
over
by
exchange
;
and
if
you
determine
to
have
it
received
at
Dieppe
,
and
to
transport
it
in
kind
,
it
may
please
you
likewise
to
send
over
one
authorized
,
with
letters
of
procuration
to
receive
it
,
and
take
charge
of
it
,
for
so
they
seemed
to
require
of
me
.
But
I
told
them
,
that
the
delivery
of
the
obligation
,
with
an
acquittance
of
my
hand
,
or
his
that
received
it
,
was
sufficient
,
which
they
seemed
not
much
to
contest
upon
:
yet
being
received
by
any
other
than
my
self
,
perhaps
they
will
require
his
procuration
:
for
some
five
or
six
hundred
pound
of
it
,
I
am
desirous
if
it
please
her
Majesty
,
to
receive
it
here
and
pay
it
there
,
to
save
loss
of
the
exchange
in
making
it
over
.
I
beseech
you
Sir
,
I
may
know
whether
she
so
please
to
allow
of
it
,
that
I
may
give
order
for
the
payment
of
the
money
there
accordingly
.
The
next
day
after
this
conference
with
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
I
came
away
to
this
town
,
because
the
King
was
here
in
this
town
,
and
his
return
thither
very
uncertain
.
The
ambassadors
continue
almost
all
in
this
town
,
but
only
he
of
Savoy
,
and
the
Spanish
Ambassador
,
who
came
to
Blois
two
days
before
the
King
came
away
.
The
King
is
yet
here
,
stayed
as
I
guess
the
rather
by
the
accident
that
fell
out
between
the
Prince
de
Joinville
and
monsieur
le
grand
,
which
was
this
:
*
upon
Tuesday
night
last
,
after
they
had
all
accompanied
the
King
from
the
place
where
he
had
supped
to
his
lodging
to
zamet's
house
,
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
Prince
of
Joinville
,
le
grand
and
his
brother
,
and
monsieur
de
terms
,
went
all
out
together
;
and
the
rest
being
already
entered
into
le
grand
his
coach
,
Joinville
pulled
le
grand
by
the
cloak
,
and
required
to
speak
with
him
,
who
thereupon
drawing
himself
aside
from
the
company
,
Joinville
told
him
,
he
had
been
wronged
to
the
King
by
a
report
,
that
he
should
make
love
to
mademoiselle
d'entragues
,
which
made
the
King
jealous
of
him
,
of
which
report
he
thought
him
le
grand
to
be
the
author
,
and
therefore
,
saith
he
to
him
,
thou
shall
dye
,
and
withal
pulled
out
his
sword
and
ran
him
in
,
the
other
having
no
weapon
about
him
;
but
with
haste
,
or
some
accident
,
his
thrust
lighted
lower
then
he
intended
,
and
ran
him
into
the
flank
and
through
the
thigh
,
without
danger
;
but
hereupon
some
company
coming
in
on
both
sides
,
the
vidame
de
mans
,
and
an
Esquire
of
le
grands
were
very
for
hurt
,
and
the
vidame
not
like
to
escape
as
I
hear
.
The
King
hearing
of
the
matter
leaped
out
of
his
bed
,
and
ran
down
in
his
shirt
with
a
sword
in
his
hand
,
but
by
that
time
the
rest
were
gone
,
and
le
grand
was
brought
in
wounded
as
he
was
.
The
King
hath
taken
it
exceedingly
ill
,
and
hath
sent
for
his
court
of
parliament
,
and
willed
them
to
do
severe
justice
upon
the
fact
.
The
Prince
of
Joinville
is
fled
into
Lorraine
,
the
Duchess
of
Guise
and
her
daughter
have
been
sundry
times
on
their
knees
before
the
King
,
but
he
seems
very
resolute
,
commanding
le
grand
not
to
seek
revenge
by
any
means
,
but
to
refer
it
to
him
,
for
that
be
takes
the
scorn
as
done
to
himself
;
yet
for
all
this
it
is
thought
the
King
will
be
won
in
the
end
to
pass
it
over
.
Since
my
coming
to
this
town
,
I
learn
that
there
are
certain
jesuits
come
hither
to
the
King
from
Rome
,
to
entreat
for
the
restoring
of
their
order
into
France
,
which
is
a
matter
the
Pope
hath
much
laboured
.
+
The
chief
of
them
is
called
padre
maggio
.
They
were
presented
here
unto
him
by
the
Pope's
Nuncio
,
and
presently
brought
out
again
,
and
referred
till
his
counsel
and
he
should
come
together
.
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
is
a
great
favorer
of
their
restitution
,
but
the
court
of
parliament
is
earnest
against
them
.
The
Archduke's
speed
in
his
journey
hath
not
been
such
as
was
expected
.
The
last
letters
that
came
from
Venice
,
made
mention
of
his
being
yet
at
Milan
.
The
King
is
yet
purposed
to
go
hence
to
morrow
towards
Blois
,
where
he
yet
intends
to
make
but
small
stay
,
and
from
thence
go
to
the
Duke
of
Montpensier's
house
at
champigny
,
and
so
to
tours
and
saumur
,
and
diverse
noblemen's
houses
thereabouts
,
to
pass
his
time
till
the
end
of
summer
.
His
counsel
remains
at
Blois
,
and
this
is
thought
to
be
purposely
to
put
off
business
and
suits
for
money
,
wherewith
he
is
continually
pestered
,
but
payeth
no
man
:
and
by
this
separation
of
the
King
and
his
counsel
,
men
are
posted
from
one
to
the
other
,
which
serves
for
a
delay
.
For
the
matter
of
the
treaty
your
honor
seeth
what
they
offer
,
either
to
continue
it
as
it
is
,
or
to
add
on
both
sides
.
I
beseech
you
advice
whether
it
be
not
better
for
us
to
take
it
as
it
is
now
,
than
by
seeking
to
add
on
our
side
,
to
give
them
occasion
to
add
somewhat
likewise
on
theirs
,
which
will
take
away
the
advantage
we
have
in
that
treaty
.
I
remember
monsieur
fontaine
was
talking
with
me
about
some
such
matter
before
my
coming
over
,
and
complaining
of
the
restraint
of
free
trade
used
to
the
frenchmen
in
England
.
If
it
please
you
to
talk
with
him
,
I
think
you
may
discover
by
him
what
they
mean
to
stand
upon
.
For
our
part
,
so
all
impositions
raised
,
and
all
acts
passed
since
1572
,
contrary
to
the
treaty
,
may
be
revoked
,
I
think
we
are
very
well
;
and
so
much
they
cannot
refuse
,
being
no
new
addition
,
but
only
a
confirmation
and
execution
of
the
treaty
.
And
for
that
of
the
not
executing
of
letters
of
mart
at
land
,
it
may
be
put
in
the
treaty
of
depredations
,
without
giving
them
occasion
or
pretext
thereby
to
require
any
addition
on
their
part
to
the
treaty
of
Blois
.
And
so
for
this
time
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
most
humbly
to
be
commanded
,
HENRY
NEVILLE
.

Right
honorable
,
Paris
,
8th
Aug
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
THE
daily
bruits
current
in
this
town
,
of
the
Spaniards
landing
in
England
,
have
moved
me
to
send
away
this
express
Messenger
to
learn
some
certainty
,
both
to
satisfy
myself
and
others
,
who
continually
come
or
send
unto
me
about
it
:
withal
I
am
to
let
your
honor
understand
,
that
notwithstanding
the
advice
I
gave
in
my
last
of
the
Archduke's
slow
proceeding
in
his
voyage
homeward
,
I
am
certainly
now
advertised
,
that
both
he
and
the
Infanta
arrived
in
Lorraine
this
last
week
,
and
were
feasted
by
that
Duke
at
Nancy
,
from
whence
they
dispatched
the
Prince
of
Orange
to
do
some
compliments
to
this
King
;
who
arrived
here
in
this
town
yesterday
,
and
is
this
day
gone
towards
Blois
to
the
King
.
To
morrow
it
is
said
the
Archduke
makes
his
entry
into
Luxembourg
,
and
about
eight
or
ten
days
hence
to
Brussels
,
where
there
is
great
magnificence
prepared
to
receive
him
.
The
King
is
expected
here
again
within
fifteen
days
,
having
a
purpose
to
see
the
Queen
dowager
at
chenonceaux
,
and
the
Duke
of
Montpensier
at
his
house
at
Champigny
in
Poitou
,
and
so
to
return
.
The
Turk
is
said
to
be
recovered
of
his
great
sickness
,
and
to
have
shewed
himself
publicly
in
the
mosque
.
*
The
peace
is
treated
between
him
and
the
Emperor
by
the
means
of
the
Tartars
,
from
whom
the
Persians
have
lately
recovered
a
great
country
,
which
they
have
occupyed
during
the
wars
against
the
Turk
,
and
have
defeated
a
great
army
of
them
,
and
slain
their
Cham
.
The
Sophi
hath
lately
sent
a
great
embassage
to
the
Turk
to
communicate
his
good
success
therein
,
and
withal
to
demand
restitution
of
such
countries
as
have
been
in
these
late
wars
taken
from
him
;
which
being
not
performed
,
it
is
thought
he
will
seek
it
by
force
.
The
Emperor
is
thought
to
be
somewhat
crazed
or
distempered
in
his
braine
,
and
hath
discarded
and
sent
home
to
their
houses
two
of
his
principal
counsellers
,
rumf
and
trautz
.
The
accident
of
his
sickness
gives
occasion
for
many
discourses
in
these
parts
,
and
of
direct
practize
and
labor
as
I
hear
of
this
King
,
to
be
King
of
the
Romans
;
for
which
purpose
,
+
besides
Bongars
,
who
remains
for
the
most
about
Frankfurt
,
he
hath
another
at
this
present
in
Saxony
.
I
will
inform
my
self
of
this
point
more
particularly
,
and
accordingly
I
will
acquaint
your
honor
.
For
the
matter
of
the
Marquisat
,
the
Ambassador
of
Venice
doth
assure
me
,
according
to
his
intelligence
out
of
Italy
,
that
the
Pope
will
judge
it
for
the
King
of
France
,
and
that
before
the
end
of
September
.
For
my
part
I
am
very
doubtfull
of
it
,
and
if
it
fall
out
so
,
I
shall
take
it
for
an
argument
,
either
of
exceeding
weakness
in
the
King
of
Spain
,
or
obstinate
resolution
to
bend
himself
against
us
;
for
otherwise
reason
of
state
would
not
suffer
him
to
give
such
way
to
the
French
into
Italy
.
For
the
matter
of
the
marriage
,
no
man
knows
what
to
conjecture
.
The
King
never
made
more
show
of
affection
to
Mademoiselle
d'Entragues
than
at
his
last
being
in
this
town
,
and
I
hear
by
some
familiar
in
that
howse
,
that
they
are
in
great
hope
the
King
will
marry
her
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
King
doth
not
in
public
shew
or
speech
entertaine
the
other
,
and
as
I
learn
hopes
shortly
to
receive
contentment
from
Rome
touching
his
divorce
,
for
which
purpose
,
(
howsoever
he
be
otherwise
inclined
)
*
he
must
make
a
pretence
of
that
match
of
Florence
,
for
otherwise
the
Pope
,
who
affects
that
match
,
will
not
be
drawn
so
easily
to
consent
.
I
was
lately
to
visit
the
constable
,
whom
I
had
not
seen
before
,
by
reason
of
his
absence
from
the
court
and
this
town
;
but
I
wrote
unto
him
from
Orleans
,
and
included
both
her
Majesty's
letters
,
with
such
compliments
as
I
was
directed
to
do
unto
him
.
And
now
I
renewed
the
same
,
and
received
as
good
contentment
from
him
for
his
affection
and
devotion
towards
her
Majesty
,
as
I
have
done
from
any
since
I
came
into
France
.
He
hath
promised
to
deal
with
the
King
effectually
about
the
matters
I
have
proposed
,
and
confesseth
there
is
no
reason
nor
honor
in
the
answer
I
have
received
.
The
worst
is
I
fear
he
bears
no
great
sway
in
counsel
,
although
he
be
the
chief
man
.
I
would
gladly
know
her
Majesty's
pleasure
,
whether
I
shall
do
any
compliment
to
the
young
Prince
of
Condé
,
who
lies
at
St
.
Maur
two
leagues
from
this
town
;
or
to
the
Count
Soissons
when
he
comes
,
who
hath
yet
never
been
at
court
since
my
arrivall
.
And
so
,
hoping
to
hear
from
your
honor
,
and
to
receive
your
further
direction
about
all
matters
which
I
have
negotiated
here
,
I
most
humbly
take
my
leave
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's
,
&
c

HENRY
NEVILLE

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
,
14th
August
1599
.
O
.
S
.
SINCE
my
return
to
Paris
,
Charles
Paget
hath
again
made
means
to
me
,
to
know
her
Majesty's
disposition
and
your
honor's
towards
him
,
and
what
hope
there
is
of
his
pardon
and
Grace
from
her
Majesty
.
I
let
him
understand
,
that
it
was
not
to
be
expected
,
that
after
so
great
and
so
long
continued
offenses
as
his
hath
been
,
her
Majesty
would
at
the
first
motion
,
and
as
it
were
upon
even
hand
,
receive
him
to
her
Grace
;
but
that
it
was
likely
she
would
make
first
some
trial
of
him
,
whether
his
pretended
sorrow
,
and
desire
of
returning
into
her
obedience
,
were
real
on
his
part
;
and
therefore
he
must
make
account
to
give
some
assured
argument
thereof
,
by
some
actual
and
important
service
,
as
well
as
his
former
actions
had
given
open
testimony
of
a
contrary
disposition
.
He
answered
,
that
he
would
be
ready
to
give
any
arguments
or
assurance
thereof
,
that
he
was
able
to
give
;
and
desired
to
know
what
it
was
that
was
required
of
him
,
protesting
with
great
vows
and
oaths
,
that
he
would
willingly
spend
life
,
credit
,
and
all
he
had
to
serve
her
Majesty
,
and
to
cancel
his
former
faults
;
which
he
confessed
to
be
great
,
but
yet
such
as
her
Majesty
in
her
mercy
and
clemency
had
pardoned
as
great
,
to
her
eternal
honor
.
He
let
me
see
a
large
discourse
of
his
own
writing
against
the
proceedings
of
Parsons
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Jesuits
,
wherein
he
layeth
open
some
of
their
practices
,
and
sheweth
his
dislike
of
them
;
which
he
offers
to
send
to
your
honor
,
if
you
shall
think
good
to
print
it
with
his
name
to
it
,
and
thereby
declare
himself
an
open
enemy
,
and
make
himself
irreconcilable
unto
them
:
besides
the
disgust
he
hopes
to
work
thereby
in
the
minds
of
all
the
Catholics
of
England
,
who
are
ignorant
of
these
practices
,
and
therefore
believe
too
well
of
them
.
He
seems
very
desirous
to
return
with
her
Majesty's
liking
into
the
lowcountries
,
if
the
treaty
of
peace
proceed
;
pretending
to
be
able
to
do
her
Majesty
good
service
by
his
intelligence
and
credit
there
:
and
afterwards
either
to
return
and
serve
her
in
England
,
if
it
please
her
to
be
so
gracious
unto
him
,
or
to
be
used
,
and
commanded
by
her
wheresoever
it
pleaseth
her
:
only
he
desires
that
he
may
end
his
days
,
with
that
comfort
and
satisfaction
of
mind
and
confidence
,
that
he
is
restored
to
her
gracious
favor
,
and
to
the
obedience
of
his
natural
Prince
.
I
beseech
your
honor
let
me
understand
how
I
shall
further
proceed
with
him
,
and
what
comfort
I
shall
give
him
,
and
what
particularly
I
shall
require
at
his
hands
;
I
do
think
there
is
more
in
him
than
in
most
of
the
rest
,
and
like
enough
there
may
be
good
use
made
of
him
,
which
I
leave
to
your
honor's
better
consideration
.
I
am
advertised
that
Spinola
is
arrived
at
Dunkirk
with
six
galleys
,
which
he
hath
an
intention
to
employ
upon
our
coasts
,
in
making
continual
spoyles
there
,
and
perhaps
to
attempt
somewhat
upon
our
navy
in
the
medway
.
Also
that
the
Infanta
will
stay
at
Namur
,
till
the
end
of
their
September
,
but
the
Archduke
goeth
presently
to
Brussels
.
And
so
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
,
&
c

HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
20th
of
August
1599
,
o
.
S
.
I
wrote
unto
your
honor
from
Blois
,
what
answer
the
King
had
made
me
,
in
that
matter
of
the
Spaniards
coming
to
Brest
with
letters
to
Monsieur
de
Sourdiac
,
requesting
harbor
and
favor
for
their
navy
there
if
they
need
it
;
the
same
answer
I
received
likewise
from
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
.
Notwithstanding
,
at
my
return
to
Paris
,
I
thought
it
fit
to
put
him
again
in
mind
of
it
,
and
though
I
could
have
no
access
unto
him
,
yet
I
found
the
means
to
do
it
by
a
friend
I
have
near
about
him
,
the
rather
because
I
understood
the
like
request
had
been
made
to
some
governors
of
other
places
.
The
effect
of
my
travaill
therein
,
will
appear
by
the
King's
letters
which
I
understand
he
hath
written
to
her
Majesty
,
to
assure
her
of
his
constant
amity
towards
her
,
and
his
resolution
not
to
favor
her
enemies
,
but
to
assist
her
with
his
forces
,
and
his
own
person
,
if
she
have
need
of
it
;
and
I
am
informed
he
hath
given
order
accordingly
,
to
all
the
governors
of
his
port
towns
.
All
which
I
assure
your
honor
,
is
to
be
imputed
chiefly
to
the
King's
own
good
disposition
towards
her
Majesty
.
For
when
the
advice
came
first
unto
the
counsel
,
from
the
governors
who
had
been
dealt
with
by
the
Spaniards
,
there
wanted
not
some
in
the
counsaill
that
were
willing
to
have
yielded
them
that
they
desired
;
or
if
not
wholly
,
yet
at
least
the
use
of
victuaills
,
water
,
cordage
,
or
any
thing
els
they
wanted
for
their
money
;
pretending
,
that
they
were
now
to
consider
of
the
Spaniard
as
he
was
,
and
not
as
he
had
been
.
Others
of
more
honor
,
and
more
faith
,
as
I
believe
,
to
this
King
and
his
state
,
were
of
opinion
that
they
could
neither
in
honor
nor
justice
do
that
which
was
required
,
both
in
respect
of
the
great
and
fresh
merits
of
the
Queen
towards
the
King
,
and
his
state
and
crown
,
and
also
of
the
league
defensive
,
which
yet
remained
in
force
between
them
.
This
disputation
divided
the
counsel
so
,
as
there
could
be
no
resolution
taken
till
the
King's
return
;
who
as
soon
as
it
was
proposed
unto
him
,
answered
very
peremptorily
,
that
all
the
world
should
not
persuade
him
to
favor
the
King
of
Spain
against
his
good
sister
of
England
,
who
had
dealt
so
faithfully
and
sincerely
with
him
;
but
that
he
would
declare
both
unto
her
,
and
to
all
men
,
that
he
would
employ
his
honor
,
his
forces
,
and
his
person
in
her
defence
.
And
thereupon
he
caused
that
letter
to
be
written
which
before
I
mentioned
,
and
which
I
do
not
doubt
but
her
Majesty
hath
by
this
time
received
from
Monsieur
de
Boissise
.
Of
all
which
I
thought
fit
her
Majesty
should
be
informed
,
that
she
may
know
the
better
what
foundation
to
make
of
the
King
himself
,
and
discover
likewise
the
disposition
of
some
principal
men
of
his
counsel
,
whereof
,
e're
it
be
long
I
hope
to
write
more
particularly
.
The
Prince
of
Orange
is
returned
from
the
King
to
this
town
,
and
goeth
away
this
evening
or
tomorrow
towards
Brussels
.
He
was
yesterday
to
visit
the
Princess
of
Orange
his
mother
in
law
.
In
his
return
out
of
Italy
he
passed
by
Orange
,
and
there
established
for
governor
monsieur
de
blatesn
,
who
was
before
of
the
religion
,
but
to
continue
the
government
,
hath
been
contented
to
go
to
masse
.
I
am
informed
that
in
this
journey
,
the
Prince
hath
obtained
main
leveé
of
his
lands
in
the
low
countries
,
having
till
now
received
only
a
pension
of
500
crowns
a
month
.
I
understand
there
are
lately
discovered
in
Poitou
and
Auvergne
,
certain
mines
of
silver
,
which
they
hope
here
will
prove
very
beneficial
.
The
King
hereupon
is
about
a
reglement
generally
for
all
the
mines
in
France
,
determining
to
take
them
all
into
his
own
hands
,
and
to
content
the
proprietors
with
a
certain
stint
,
proportionable
to
the
profit
that
shall
arise
,
and
so
to
manage
all
by
his
own
officers
,
a
matter
which
is
like
to
be
very
offensive
.
The
edict
I
have
seen
as
it
is
drawn
,
but
it
is
not
yet
passed
the
parliament
.
Monsieur
de
Rosny
affects
the
matter
much
,
and
if
it
proceed
,
is
like
to
be
great
Master
or
superintendant
of
all
the
mines
in
France
.
Monsieur
de
La
Motte
Fenelon
I
understand
is
dead
at
Bordeaux
,
in
his
journey
towards
Spain
.
Whom
they
intend
to
employ
in
his
place
,
I
do
not
yet
know
,
but
I
will
be
careful
to
learn
it
,
and
to
procure
Mr
.
Lock
to
be
recommended
unto
him
,
as
he
was
to
the
other
.
Out
of
Italy
I
hear
by
good
means
,
that
the
Duke
of
Savoy
upon
pretence
of
discovering
some
practice
that
this
King
had
,
not
only
upon
the
Marquisat
of
Saluces
,
but
upon
Turin
and
other
towns
of
Piedmont
,
made
several
prisoners
,
and
amongst
the
rest
the
same
captain
which
first
betrayed
Carmagnola
unto
him
,
and
a
counteffe
called
delbene
:
and
thereupon
hath
likewise
taken
occasion
to
arme
,
and
make
himself
strong
,
both
in
the
Marquisat
,
and
in
Piedmont
.
The
Agent
of
Geneva
doth
also
assure
me
,
that
the
Duke
fortifyeth
himself
very
much
on
Savoy
side
.
All
which
confirms
unto
me
,
that
I
have
always
believed
,
that
he
hath
no
purpose
to
render
Saluces
unto
this
King
.
Yet
I
am
told
,
the
King
hath
wrote
lately
unto
d
.
122
,
The
constable
,
that
he
had
received
good
news
from
Rome
,
both
touching
the
matter
of
the
Marquisat
,
and
his
divorce
.
Out
of
Turkey
I
hear
that
Ephraim
Pasha
with
50000
men
is
gone
to
the
siege
of
Warradin
the
town
which
the
Emperor
holdeth
in
Transylvania
,
ever
since
the
accord
between
him
and
that
vaiode
.
On
the
other
side
the
Count
of
Wartzenburgh
with
15000
men
is
gone
towards
Buda
,
intending
some
enterprise
either
covert
or
open
upon
it
:
all
which
notwithstanding
,
there
is
a
conclusion
taken
between
them
,
that
deputies
on
both
sides
shall
meet
upon
the
confines
in
the
end
of
the
next
month
,
to
treat
of
a
peace
,
which
hath
hitherto
been
entertained
by
mediation
of
the
tartars
.
The
Duchess
of
Tuscany
is
lately
delivered
of
another
son
.
The
Duke
of
Mantua
is
still
in
the
Low-Countries
,
though
perhaps
disappointed
of
his
principal
purpose
in
coming
thither
,
by
reason
that
the
Marquis
of
Burgau
,
brother
to
the
Cardinal
Andreas
,
is
designed
General
of
the
army
,
in
place
of
the
Admiral
of
aragon
.
The
Count
de
ladron
passed
lately
this
way
in
post
into
Spain
,
with
some
dozen
in
his
company
,
among
the
which
the
marquifs
of
burgau
was
said
to
be
,
tho
'
disguised
;
but
that
agreeth
not
with
the
advices
I
have
out
of
the
lowcountries
.

Ucwm

entertains
me

frivolous
and
absurd
advertisements

may
appear
by
this
enclosed
,
and
some
other
as
unprobable
.
He
tells
me
he
hath
heard
very
lately
from
your
honor
,
which
I
do
not
believe
,
because
I
have
had
nothing
from
you
or
any
body
else
in
England
this
full
month
;
which
makes
me
almost
glad
of
that
little
distemperature
I
have
now
upon
me
,
for
a
pretext
neither
to
visit
,
nor
to
be
visited
,
till
I
may
be
able
to
deliver
some
certainty
of
these
bruits
,
whereof
all
men
expect
to
know
the
trueth
by
me
.
I
hope
I
shall
shortly
receive
directions
from
your
honor
in
all
the
matters
I
have
written
of
since
my
first
going

HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Since
the
finishing
my
letter
,
I
have
thought
sit
to
move
your
honor
,
to
be
a
means
to
her
Majesty
,
to
entertain
monsieur
de
bethune
when
he
comes
that
way
out
of
Scotland
with
all
courtesy
,
and
so
to
use
the
matter
,
that
his
brother
Monsieur
de
Rosny
may
think
himself
honoured
and
respected
in
it
;
for
this
Monsieur
de
Rosny
is
very
great
with
the
King
,
and
like
daily
to
grow
greater
,
and
withal
of
the
religion
,
and
a
very
stout
man
;
so
as
if
he
may
be
throughly
won
,
there
is
no
manne
in
the
counsel
will
more
advantage
her
Majesty's
and
favouring
the
Spanish
army
,
there
was
no
man
more
firm
to
her
Majesty
than
he
,
and
the
division
in
the
counsel
as
I
understand
passed
thus
;
for
the
Spaniards
were
Villeroy
,
the
Chancellor
,
and
the
first
president
of
Rouen
,
Navarre
and
President
of
Grenoble
:
a
very
worthy
man
,
but
one
that
by
reason
of
his
religion
comes
but
little
in
counsel
,
and
bears
no
great
sway
.
I
beseech
your
honor
,
direct
me
whether
I
shall
take
any
knowledge
that
such
a
point
was
debated
in
counsel
,
or
nay
;
and
taking
knowledge
of
it
,
in
which
sort
I
shall
do
it
:
for
howsoever
the
King's
own
inclination
hath
presently
overgovern'd
this
matter
,
surely
those
men
that
have
thus
declared
themselves
for
the
Spaniard
now
,
are
like
for
the
most
part
to
carry
the
sway
in
this
war
,
for
few
of
the
rest
,
except
Rosny
and
de
Messe
,
come
ordinarily
to
the
counsel
.
Therefore
I
hold
this
point
in
my
poor
judgment
,
as
worthy
of
her
Majesty's
consideration
as
any
thing
that
hath
happened
since
my
coming
hither
.
Your
honor
may
assure
your
self
there
is
no
foundation
to
be
made
of
6
122
monsieur
Villeroy
for
our
good
,
d
100
the
Duke
of

well
affected

not
shew
himself
,
d

hath
no
credit

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr

Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
26th
Aug
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
YOUR
honor
shall
understand
by
this
enclosed
,
as
much
as
I
can
advertise
of
the
Spanish
navy
or
their
preparations
,
which
might
give
me
occasion
not
to
trouble
you
with
much
more
at
this
time
;
saving
that
I
understand
there
is
one
Bennet
an
English
capuchin
lately
taken
in
England
,
who
was
thought
to
have
a
hand
very
deep
in
the
practice
of
the
Duke
of
Joyeuse
,
about
the
*
woman
that
was
suborned
to
counterfeit
her
self
to
be
possessed
with
a
Devill
.
In
which
practize
,
it
is
thought
here
,
there
was
a
dangerous
reache
,
and
not
throughly
sifted
,
because
it
would
have
touched
some
great
ones
.
So
as
if
now
the
bottom
of
it
might
be
extorted
from
this
Bennet
,
I
think
it
would
be
very
acceptable
to
the
King
.
Also
I
learn
,
that
this
same
Bennet
enticed
away
Charles
Drury
from
my
house
in
my
absence
at
Blois
,
and
hath
placed
him
some
where
secretly
,
so
as
I
cannot
yet
hear
of
him
.
I
beseech
your
honor
he
may
be
examined
also
upon
that
point
;
for
though
I
were
exceeding
weary
of
him
for
his
disorderliness
,
yet
I
would
be
glad
to
discharge
my
hands
in
some
better
sort
of
him
.
I
would
be
glad
to
know
whether
those
men
were
brought
from
Rochelle
into
England
,
that
I
gave
advice
of
from
Orleans
.
Touching
the
20000
crowns
,
I
have
written
to
Rouen
to
the
merchants
to
know
how
they
will
undertake
the
exchange
of
it
,
and
will
certifye
your
honor
e'er
it
be
long
.
I
will
be
bold
to
retain
600l
.
Of
it
,
and
I
have
already
sent
into
England
an
order
for
the
repayment
of
it
into
the
exchequer
in
the
beginning
of
the
term
.
I
have
already
used
some
means
to
find
out
such
a
one
as
your
honor
desires
to
employ
into
Spain
,
and
am
in
some
hope
to
hear
of
one
very
shortly
.
I
have
sought
to
inform
myself
of
the
quality
of
the
haven
of
Dunkirk
,
and
I
cannot
learn
that
it
is
meet
to
receive
gallies
,
because
at
low
water
they
must
lie
drye
,
which
gallies
furnish'd
with
their
tackle
cannot
endure
,
as
I
am
informed
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
hath
imprisoned
and
executed
very
many
frenchmen
which
were
in
Turin
,
about
this
practice
which
he
hath
lately
discovered
.
The
Infanta
hath
nothing
but
peace
in
her
mouth
,
whatsoever
she
hath
in
her
heart
.
The
fifteenth
of
September
she
maketh
her
entry
in
Brussels
.
This
day
one
of
the
tréasuriers
d'espargne
came
to
me
,
to
assure
me
the
20000
crowns
should
be
ready
the
morrow
after
Michaelmas-day
to
be
pain
in
Rouen
.
I
sent
this
bearer
with
my
Secretary
to
Blois
,
and
now
upon
his
return
I
have
dispatched
him
with
all
the
speed
I
could
.
And
so

Right

1st

O

S
.
I
have
received
this
morning
these
two
enclosed
letters
from
Mr
.
Lock
,
from
whom
I
had
not
heard
in
two
months
before
;
and
because
I
knew
not
of
what
importance
they
might
be
in
these
times
of
doubt
,
I
thought
good
to
send
them
away
with
speed
,
and
have
for
that
purpose
entreated
my
cousin
Cook
to
take
pains
to
be
the
Messenger
.
We
are
full
of
bruits
here
,
which
come
from
Calais
and
the
coast
,
that
the
Spanish
fleet
should
be
come
into
the
narrow
seas
.
But
I
had
letters
this
morning
from
this
court
,
which
assure
me
there
is
nothing
known
or
believed
there
,
more
than
my
Secretary
advertised
me
in
the
letter
I
sent
your
honor
with
my
last
,
so
ill
they
are
here
advertised
.
I
beseech
your
honor
I
may
understand
how
matters
go
there
,
I
shall
be
otherwise
in
great
pain
,
and
little
reputation
here
.
The
King
purposes
shortly
to
license
his
counsel
for
a
month
,
and
to
draw
hitherward
.
The
voyage
of
Lyons
is
notwithstanding
very
fresh
in
speech
now
again
.
The
Pope
hath
promised
the
King
to
grant
him
a
divorce
,
but
it
cannot
be
dispatched
till
the
consistory
assemble
again
,
which
will
not
be
till
October
,
by
reason
the
cardinals
are
all
abroad
now
for
their
pleasure
.
I
have
been
troubled
since
my
return
to
this
town
with
a
disease
ordinary
to
strangers
in
this
country
,
but
I
thank
God
I
am
now
very
well
,
and
ready
to
perform
any
direction
or
commandment
I
shall
receive
.
I
understand
by
the
merchants
,
they
would
undertake
the
payment
of
her
Majesty's
money
in
England
without
any
loss
,
were
it
not
for
these
troublesome
times
,
which
makes
them
afraid
to
take
any
money
by
exchange
,
for
fear
their
respondents
in
England
should
fail
them
.
I
will
deal
with
some
in
this
town
who
hold
correspondence
with
Corsini
,
and
the
answer
I
receive
,
I
will
certify
with
the
first
commodity
.
And
so
praying
God
to
bless
her
Majesty's
forces
,
and
her
royal
person
especially
,
whereof
she
cannot
be
too
wary
now
,
I
most
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
,
&
c

HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
the
6th
of
September
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
make
no
doubt
but
your
honor
is
advertised
continually
from
the
governours
of
this
coast
,
of
such
intelligence
as
they
receive
touching
the
Spanish
fleet
.
For
so
hath
the
King
commanded
them
,
and
so
hath
the
governor
of
Dieppe
assured
me
,
that
both
he
and
others
will
do
from
time
to
time
:
so
that
I
am
sure
her
Majesty
understands
as
much
as
they
know
,
before
this
King
himself
.
And
other
advertised
of
any
account
or
certaynry
,
I
dare
avow
they
have
not
in
this
court
;
as
your
honor
may
well
judge
,
by
the
contradiction
of
that
they
have
delivered
unto
me
in
this
matter
,
from
my
first
coming
hitherto
.
The
advices
they
have
lately
received
from
the
coast
,
hath
made
them
again
to
change
their
mind
,
and
to
be
of
opinion
that
the
fleet
will
come
,
and
that
it
is
far
greater
than
they
believed
it
to
be
.
D
100
.
The
Duke
de
Bouillon
told
my
Secretary
,
that
they
were
advertised
that
they
consisted
of
260
sail
of
all
sorts
,
and
that
their
design
was
to
land
about
Bristol
,
or
Milford
Haven
.
But
in
very
truth
,
I
am
verily
persuaded
that
they
know
nothing
,
but
roave
at
the
matter
altogether
.
For
since
I
heard
from
the
court
,
I
received
this
enclosed
from
the
premier
president
of
Rouen
,
whereby
your
honor
may
see
that
now
again
upon
the
coast
they
are
of
another
opinion
;
and
yet
I
know
this
alarum
at
the
court
came
from
them
.
But
this
good
is
come
of
it
,
that
it
hath
caused
the
King
to
hasten
hitherward
,
and
he
is
already
come
to
Fontainebleau
,
and
hath
appointed
his
council
to
follow
,
and
to
be
here
,
or
at
St
.
Germans
the
20th
of
this
month
.
Two
days
since
,
there
came
unto
me
one
that
belongs
to
the
trésorier
de
l'espargne
,
that
is
to
pay
the
20000
crowns
,
to
require
the
original
bond
to
make
an
acquittance
by
.
And
therefore
have
refused
to
deliver
the
original
;
for
the
less
cause
they
have
to
require
it
,
the
more
jealous
I
am
to
deliver
it
.
I
had
before
shewed
the
original
to
the
trésorier
himself
,
and
since
delivered
him
a
copy
attested
by
two
notaries
,
in
the
presence
of
his
deputy
.
To
require
it
,
the
more
jealous
I
am
to
deliver
it
.
But
when
the
counsel
comes
I
hope
we
shall
end
this
matter
with
reason
.
Your
honor
seeth
what
the
premier
president
wrytes
touching
m
.
175
.
Scotland
.
I
assure
you
there
are
very
strange
bruits
here
of
some
z
.
Publtk
q.Ierz.Khe
.
Danger
to
grow
that
way
,
w
209
Charles
Paget
assureth
me
,
that
there
have
been
great
practices
used
to
winne
f
.
150
The
King
of
Scotland
,
to
join
with
c
.
100
The
King
of
Spain
against
a
.
100
The
Queen
;
and
that
if
there
be
not
some
course
taken
to
prevent
it
,
he
will
forely
draw
that
way
in
the
end
.
D
.
100
The
Duke
de
Bouillon
hath
received
intelligence
,
but
I
know
not
whence
,
that
f
.
150
The
King
of
Scotland
hath
proclaimed
war
against
the
Queen
.
Your
honor
can
best
consider
of
what
consequence
these
matters
are
,
and
how
they
may
be
best
prevented
.
Upon
these
bruits
,
I
caused
one
who
is
inward
with
f
.
154
The
ambassader
of
Scotland
,
to
found
him
about
these
matters
,
but
he
pretended
utterly
to
know
nothing
,
saying
that
he
hath
not
heard
thence
in
two
months
.
I
find
difficulty
in
procuring
any
man
to
undertake
the
matter
your
honor
so
much
desired
into
Spain
,
because
it
is
so
full
of
danger
,
yet
I
do
offer
they
should
be
largely
considered
.
I
will
not
give
over
the
matter
so
,
and
am
in
hope
to
sit
your
honor
at
length
,
though
I
stay
some
time
about
it
.
I
am
persuaded
w
.
209
Charles
Paget
is
able
to
discover
somewhat
touching
f
.
150
The
King
of
Scotland
,
which
would
be
worth
the
knowing
;
but
without
some
assurance
of
that
he
affects
,
he
is
too
cunning
to
open
himself
too
far
.
That
obtained
,
I
am
fully
of
opinion
,
that
there
may
be
good
use
made
of
him
.
There
is
a
Scotch-man
here
called
*
Bruce
,
a
papist
,
but
a
good
scholar
,
that
is
publishing
a
book
against
the
Jesuits
,
and
likewise
the
King's
advocate
,
en
la
chambre
de
contes
called
Pasquier
.
They
have
both
made
means
to
me
,
to
furnish
them
with
matter
against
them
.
If
it
please
you
therefore
to
impart
unto
me
any
particularities
of
their
lewd
dealings
against
her
Majesty
,
and
her
state
,
I
think
it
might
be
to
good
purpose
;
considering
that
now
their
cause
is
in
queftion
,
for
their
restitution
,
or
perpetual
exclusion
.
I
understand
there
are
6000
Swiss
lately
levied
among
the
petit
cantons
,
3000
for
the
Archduke
,
and
3000
for
the
Duke
of
Savoy
.
I
hear
also
a
report
that
the
King
of
Spain
is
about
to
make
a
levy
of
12000
Italians
,
the
intention
is
not
yet
known
,
but
supposed
to
be
for
the
use
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
if
he
have
need
.
When
your
honor
is
freed
of
this
extraordinary
care
abowt
the
Spanish
attempts
,
I
hope
you
will
be
pleased
to
direct
me
,
how
I
shall
proceed
in
the
matters
I
have
negotiated
here
.
And
so
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's
,

O

S
.
I
received
this
enclosed
yesterday
from
Mr
.
Lock
,
and
finding
this
bearer
ready
to
return
for
England
,
I
thought
good
to
send
it
away
by
him
.
I
spake
lately
with
one
that
came
from
Rochelle
,
who
told
me
that
a
captain
of
that
town
arrived
there
out
of
Spain
upon
Tuesday
was
sennight
,
and
who
reporteth
that
he
had
seen
the
fleet
imbark
,
and
had
been
amongst
them
,
and
left
them
under
sail
,
and
affirms
for
certain
that
they
took
their
course
for
the
islands
.
Charles
Paget
likewise
advertised
me
this
day
,
that
he
had
spoken
with
a
gentleman
of
his
acquaintance
who
came
very
lately
out
of
Spain
,
who
confirmeth
the
same
;
how
this
agreeth
with
your
other
intelligences
I
know
not
,
but
I
thought
it
my
duty
to
advertise
it
as
I
understood
of
it
.
Here
is
much
speech
to
our
disgrace
,
that
the
galleys
were
suffered
to
pass
so
quietly
to
Sluys
,
especially
seeing
there
was
so
good
warning
given
of
their
approach
,
by
the
governors
of
these
parts
.
Those
which
affect
us
are
very
sorry
,
and
those
which
love
us
not
,
laugh
us
to
scorn
.
I
wrote
unto
your
honor
lately
of
the
death
of
monsieur
de
la
motte
fenelon
;
I
hear
now
that
Monsieur
de
Rochepott
governor
of
Anjou
is
nominated
for
the
place
,
but
makes
great
labor
to
avoid
it
.
I
beseech
your
honor
to
let
me
understand
your
pleasure
touching
Mr
.
Lock
,
how
far
I
shall
communicate
of
his
employment
with
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
.
I
have
advertised
what
my
conceit
is
of
his
disposition
towards
our
state
,
your
honor
will
be
pleased
to
advise
how
much
to
trust
him
.
Mr
.
Lock
hath
once
or
twice
desired
me
to
use
Monsieur
de
Villeroy's
means
to
Taxis
the
Spanish
Ambassador
to
grant
him
a
passport
to
go
into
Spain
,
which
methinks
is
so
senseless
a
thing
to
be
moved
,
and
so
ready
a
way
to
cut
his
throat
though
it
were
obtained
,
as
I
have
wished
him
never
to
think
more
of
that
course
.
It
seems
the
gentleman
is
very
desirous
to
do
some
services
,
but
the
difficulty
is
in
the
means
.
What
your
honor
shall
command
me
in
furtherance
of
him
,
I
will
be
ready
to
do
the
utmost
.
John
musfy
arrived
here
yesternight
with
a
packet
from
the
Ambassador
,
and
another
from
la
fontaine
,
and
told
me
that
in
the
Ambassador's
packet
there
was
a
letter
from
her
Majesty
to
the
King
.
I
would
have
been
very
glad
,
if
it
would
have
pleased
your
honor
,
to
have
used
me
for
the
delivery
thereof
,
rather
than
their
Ambassador
.
For
my
negotiation
hitherto
with
the
King
,
hath
been
,
as
your
honor
knows
,
most
about
an
unpleasing
subject
,
which
would
have
been
somewhat
sweetened
by
the
argument
of
this
letter
,
containing
as
I
suppose
nothing
but
kindness
,
in
answer
to
his
kind
letter
to
her
Majesty
.
Besides
I
find
monsieur
de
Villeroy's
course
to
be
this
,
that
wherein
he
can
use
their
own
Ambassador
,
he
will
never
use
me
,
not
so
much
as
to
communicate
it
with
me
,
which
I
find
very
strange
.
And
unless
it
please
your
honor
to
do
the
like
with
their
Ambassador
there
,
I
see
not
how
I
shall
remedy
it
;
and
continuing
in
that
sort
,
I
shall
not
be
able
to
serve
her
Majesty
,
but
with
great
disadvantage
and
disrepute
.
I
understand
by
common
fame
and
not
otherwise
,
that
there
have
been
some
commissioners
in
England
from
the
Archduke
,
to
treat
of
peace
.
But
of
that
and
all
things
concerning
our
state
,
I
hope
to
hear
some
certainty
by
those
letters
from
your
honor
,
which
musfy
tells
me
are
upon
the
way
.
In
the
mean
time
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's

HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
16th
Sept
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
understand
by
Musfy
,
who
brought
over
a
packet
from
Monsieur
de
Boissise
,
that
he
left
one
at
Dover
,
that
had
another
from
your
honor
to
me
.
But
I
hear
of
none
such
as
yet
,
and
therefore
I
would
not
longer
differ
to
advertise
your
honor
of
that
I
take
to
be
of
importance
for
you
to
know
,
namely
,
that
the
Spanish
fleet
which
was
put
to
sea
,
and
had
taken
their
course
for
the
islands
,
was
forced
by
the
weather
to
return
to
Ferrol
,
where
it
now
remaineth
.
When
I
first
received
this
intelligence
,
I
was
desirous
to
be
better
assured
of
it
before
I
wrote
it
,
and
therefore
went
unto
Monsieur
Villeroy
,
who
is
now
in
this
town
with
the
rest
of
the
council
,
to
know
whether
he
understood
any
such
matter
.
He
told
me
he
had
the
day
before
received
advertisement
to
the
same
purpose
,
and
his
opinion
was
,
that
they
would
dismiss
their
army
,
and
attempt
no
more
this
year
.
His
reasons
were
,
that
part
of
the
Hollanders
'
fleet
was
already
returned
home
in
safety
,
and
the
rest
gone
to
the
indies
and
left
the
islands
wholly
.
And
as
for
the
indian
fleet
which
was
now
to
return
,
it
would
be
either
saill
on
failli
before
they
would
come
to
their
succor
.
But
when
I
replied
,
that
seeing
that
part
of
their
purpose
failed
,
they
might
perhaps
pursue
their
other
design
,
of
attempting
upon
some
part
of
England
or
Ireland
,
rather
than
lose
the
whole
fruit
of
so
great
a
charge
;
he
answered
nothing
,
but
that
he
thought
they
would
do
nothing
till
the
spring
.
Your
honor
hereupon
can
best
consider
,
what
probability
there
is
that
they
will
dismisse
such
an
army
of
so
great
charge
,
and
that
hath
raised
so
great
an
expectation
,
without
attempting
somewhat
to
the
disturbance
of
their
enemies
.
He
told
me
also
,
that
there
were
four
gallies
more
to
come
into
these
parts
,
besides
the
six
already
arrived
at
Sluys
.
Of
whose
passage
he
spake
with
some
tax
to
us
,
saying
that
they
put
on
to
the
English
shoare
,
thinking
that
the
safer
,
because
the
other
was
kept
by
the
Hollanders
;
which
I
had
not
heard
before
,
although
I
had
heard
much
more
than
I
took
any
pleasure
of
.
He
told
me
also
,
that
the
King
received
very
great
contentment
of
a
letter
her
Majesty
had
lately
written
to
him
.
I
said
the
King
should
always
find
her
Majesty
a
very
royal
and
honorable
Princess
,
very
ready
to
do
him
all
kindnes
,
and
very
grateful
for
that
she
received
;
and
my
hope
was
,
she
should
find
the
like
disposition
in
the
King
,
according
as
I
had
ever
given
her
assurance
since
my
coming
hither
;
and
prayed
him
to
concur
with
me
in
all
good
offices
and
endeavours
to
entertain
this
good
correspondence
between
their
majesties
,
which
he
said
he
would
always
be
ready
to
do
.
I
put
him
in
mind
that
the
time
did
now
approach
wherein
he
had
promised
by
the
answer
he
delivered
me
,
to
make
known
unto
her
Majesty
what
she
should
receive
from
the
King
this
next
yeere
.
I
said
it
was
a
matter
did
much
import
her
to
know
,
and
therefore
prayed
him
if
they
had
resolved
of
it
,
to
impart
it
to
me
,
that
I
might
advertise
her
Majesty
of
it
.
His
answer
was
,
that
these
bruits
and
other
occasions
had
so
busyed
them
,
that
they
had
not
yet
had
leisure
to
finish
that
business
,
but
that
it
was
in
hand
,
and
as
soon
as
any
thing
was
done
,
I
should
be
informed
of
it
.
I
was
likewise
to
visit
the
Chancellor
,
and
solicited
him
in
that
matter
of
the
English
taken
by
those
of
Marseilles
;
whereof
her
Majesty
had
written
unto
the
King
,
and
the
counsel
had
promised
me
to
inform
themselves
,
and
to
give
me
an
answer
.
He
told
me
the
Secretary
for
that
quarter
had
charge
to
inform
himself
in
that
cause
,
and
that
he
would
speak
with
him
in
it
,
and
thereupon
propose
it
unto
the
counsel
.
They
both
assured
me
of
the
King's
great
forwardness
,
to
have
employed
both
his
forces
and
himself
in
her
majesties
aid
if
need
had
ben
,
and
that
it
was
the
only
cause
of
his
return
so
soon
into
these
parts
,
and
so
further
if
occasion
had
been
.
I
perceive
by
them
,
that
in
the
matter
of
the
divorce
they
expect
that
the
King
shall
receive
very
good
satisfaction
from
Rome
;
for
which
purpose
the
Cardinal
Joyeuse
comes
hither
very
shortly
,
pretending
private
affairs
of
his
own
,
but
not
without
commission
,
as
the
Chancellor
confessed
to
me
,
to
treat
with
the
Queen
,
and
to
take
her
consent
or
confession
,
that
so
some
forme
of
justice
may
be
observed
in
the
proceeding
.
The
Chancellor
told
me
,
he
understood
that
father
Bennet
a
capuchin
that
went
hence
,
was
prisoner
in
England
:
and
said
that
he
was
a
principal
dealer
in
that
lewd
practise
about
the
demoniaque
,
and
that
he
was
in
good
hands
now
,
where
the
truth
of
all
might
be
known
.
I
said
it
was
true
that
such
a
one
was
taken
and
imprisoned
,
and
if
the
King
did
require
that
he
should
be
examined
about
it
,
I
presumed
the
Queen
would
be
willing
to
gratify
him
in
that
,
as
readily
as
in
all
other
matters
,
wherein
she
might
declare
her
affection
towards
him
.
To
that
he
answered
not
in
particular
,
but
in
General
he
recommended
it
,
and
acknowledged
her
Majesty's
good
will
and
good
offices
towards
the
King
.
This
I
have
thought
good
to
certify
,
because
I
have
once
before
moved
your
honor
in
this
matter
as
of
myself
.
Mr
.
Edmonds
can
very
well
inform
your
honor
of
that
practice
about
the
demoniaque
,
wherein
the
Capuchin
late
Duke
of
Joyeuse
was
the
principal
actor
,
and
this
Bennet
and
another
,
his
principal
adherents
;
and
some
great
lay-men
thought
to
be
de
la
party
.
I
send
your
honor
herewith
a
short
narration
of
the
manner
of
the
late
practice
upon
Turin
,
and
the
discovery
of
it
.
Since
I
understand
,
that
the
Captain
beaulien
there
mentioned
,
is
executed
.
The
matter
of
the
Marquisat
of
Saluces
stands
in
the
same
terms
it
did
*.
There
is
now
a
speech
that
it
should
be
delivered
in
deposit
unto
the
Pope
tyll
it
be
judged
;
wherein
I
hear
there
are
so
many
difficulties
proposed
,
as
it
will
hardly
take
place
.
It
seems
the
King
will
have
great
patience
,
and
bear
much
before
he
draw
his
sword
again
.
For
the
matter
of
the
jesuits
it
is
not
yet
resolved
,
they
were
heard
at
Blois
,
and
put
over
again
till
the
counsels
coming
to
this
town
.
I
hear
the
King
has
taken
some
new
offense
agaynst
them
,
because
they
have
entered
into
their
college
at
Dijon
in
Burgundy
without
his
leave
,
upon
some
secret
favor
of
the
parliament
there
.
The
Cardinal
andreas
saluted
the
King
at
halier
,
monsieur
de
vitrie's
house
,
and
so
passed
along
to
Orleans
,
and
from
thence
down
the
river
of
Loire
with
a
purpose
to
see
those
towns
,
and
afterwards
to
take
his
journey
towards
Lyons
,
and
from
thence
into
Spain
to
Saragossa
,
where
the
King
lies
.
His
brother
the
Marquis
of
Burgau
is
also
certainly
gone
thither
,
in
the
companie
of
the
Count
of
lodron
,
as
I
wrote
before
.
I
wrote
in
my
last
of
a
levy
of
3000
swissers
for
the
Archduke
,
and
as
many
for
the
Duke
of
Savoy
.
I
hear
now
that
the
cantons
have
made
a
stay
of
both
,
upon
fear
belike
to
discontent
this
King
at
this
time
,
being
upon
the
point
to
receive
some
satisfaction
from
him
in
part
,
for
the
great
summes
of
money
,
which
he
and
the
last
King
did
owe
them
.
Of
the
levy
in
Italy
whereof
I
wrote
,
I
neither
hear
confirmation
nor
controulment
.
I
have
written
unto
your
honor
heretofore
of
the
great
nomber
of
priests
and
jesuits
which
are
now
in
England
.
I
am
assured
by
w.209
.
Charles
Paget
and
others
,
that
their
number
groweth
.
If
it
please
you
to
give
me
commission
to
deal
with
some
in
this
town
,
and
to
assure
them
of
somewhat
from
her
Majesty
to
stay
themselves
upon
,
I
believe
I
should
be
able
to
discover
their
nests
and
haunts
.
I
would
it
would
please
your
honor
to
be
a
means
to
her
Majesty
to
make
some
trial
of
Paget
;
I
think
she
would
not
repent
her
of
it
.
I
have
at
length
understood
of
one
,
that
is
willing
to
accept
the
employment
your
honor
intendeth
into
Spain
.
He
hath
sometimes
been
a
Priest
,
but
has
since
become
of
the
religion
,
and
married
:
yet
for
his
more
safety
,
and
to
avoid
suspicion
in
his
abode
there
,
he
will
take
upon
him
the
habit
,
and
for
need
the
function
of
a
Priest
,
which
will
also
give
him
credit
and
trust
there
,
and
means
thereby
to
do
the
better
service
.
He
hath
been
already
sundry
times
employed
by
this
King
,
first
at
Brussels
during
the
league
for
two
or
three
years
together
;
and
afterwards
twice
into
Calais
,
while
the
Spaniards
held
it
.
Language
he
hath
none
perfect
but
the
French
.
Spanish
and
Italian
he
understands
,
but
speaketh
not
;
but
makes
account
within
three
months
to
speak
Spanish
sufficiently
for
his
purpose
.
His
demand
was
600
crowns
by
the
year
,
but
in
the
end
he
was
contented
to
accept
400
crowns
:
hoping
that
if
his
service
was
acceptable
,
that
her
Majesty
would
bestow
some
small
stipend
upon
him
at
his
return
,
whereupon
he
might
stay
himself
and
his
family
.
He
is
recommended
unto
me
for
a
faithful
honest
man
whom
I
may
trust
.
I
have
promised
him
answer
within
twenty
days
;
and
if
he
be
not
used
,
I
have
promised
him
somewhat
for
his
stay
.
For
if
I
had
not
at
this
instant
met
with
him
,
he
had
been
gone
into
the
low-countries
,
to
be
employed
by
monsieur
de
la
Noue
.
I
beseech
your
honor
I
may
understand
your
pleasure
herein
within
the
time
limited
.
And
so
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's
,
&
c

HENRY
NEVILLE

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll

Right
honorable
,
Paris
,
24th
Sept
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
TOuching
that
part
of
your
honor's
letter
which
concerneth
my
allowance
for
intelligences
,
I
most
humbly
thank
your
honor
for
the
offer
of
your
favor
therein
towards
me
.
I
will
presse
nothing
,
but
what
may
stand
with
her
Majesty's
liking
and
your
honor's
;
yet
I
could
allege
great
reason
,
why
neither
Sir
Edward
Stafford
,
nor
any
of
those
that
went
before
him
ever
since
the
Queen's
reign
,
had
more
need
of
allowance
in
this
kind
then
I
.
For
although
those
times
were
more
dangerous
,
and
fuller
of
practise
,
yet
the
Queen
had
then
an
assured
party
within
this
realm
,
whom
it
imported
for
their
own
preservation
to
be
vigilant
over
all
things
that
passed
here
,
and
to
communicate
their
intelligence
to
her
Majesty
upon
whom
their
safety
depended
;
so
as
her
ministers
needed
not
take
any
great
care
,
or
be
at
any
great
charge
for
the
matter
,
for
it
was
brought
home
to
them
;
but
now
that
side
hath
no
more
need
of
her
Majesty
,
they
are
so
far
from
offering
any
intelligence
,
that
they
shun
all
communication
with
her
majesties
ministers
,
and
are
afraid
of
nothing
more
,
then
that
it
should
be
thought
they
have
any
correspondence
with
her
.
Besides
Sir
,
I
do
not
succeed
an
Ambassador
who
hath
settled
any
means
of
intelligence
here
;
but
a
gentleman
,
who
having
no
allowance
for
it
,
was
forced
to
supply
that
want
by
the
acquaintance
and
confidence
he
had
gotten
in
his
long
abode
here
,
which
he
could
not
transfer
to
another
.
At
least
if
these
reasons
will
not
serve
,
to
equal
my
occasions
to
Sir
Edward
Stafford
and
those
that
went
before
him
,
yet
surely
there
can
be
no
difference
alleged
between
these
times
,
and
those
wherein
Sir
Anthony
Mildmay
served
,
or
if
any
,
the
disadvantage
must
be
confessed
to
be
in
these
;
for
then
the
King
was
not
established
as
he
is
now
,
but
had
continual
need
of
her
Majesty
,
and
was
therefore
enforced
to
use
a
more
respective
and
real
proceeding
towards
her
,
than
she
shall
find
hereafter
.
Therefore
I
would
be
glad
as
my
burden
and
charge
is
equal
,
so
to
be
made
equal
likewise
in
the
allowance
;
least
the
diminution
thereof
beginning
in
me
,
be
made
a
note
of
evil
service
,
and
so
remain
a
continual
taxe
upon
me
hereafter
.
But
as
in
taking
upon
me
this
employment
I
chiefly
relied
upon
your
honor's
commandment
and
comfort
,
and
put
my
credit
,
estate
,-
and
fortune
into
your
hands
,
so
I
do
refer
my
self
to
be
disposed
of
both
in
this
,
and
any
thing
else
that
may
concern
me
,
by
your
honor's
direction
;
and
do
therefore
humbly
pray
,
that
if
you
think
that
allowance
of
400l
.
A
year
too
much
,
which
was
made
to
Sir
Anthony
Mildmay
,
it
would
please
you
to
set
down
in
certainty
what
you
think
good
,
that
knowing
it
,
I
may
not
offend
in
exceeding
it
.
Touching
the
reviving
or
continuance
of
the
treaty
of
Blois
,
I
am
of
opinion
,
it
will
not
now
suffice
that
the
King
signify
by
his
letter
or
Ambassador
that
he
is
willing
to
observe
it
,
but
it
must
be
newly
sworn
on
both
sides
as
a
new
treaty
,
for
the
former
is
absolutely
determined
,
for
want
of
that
signification
on
the
King's
part
within
the
year
after
his
predecessor's
death
.
I
believe
the
King
will
urge
to
have
the
staple
at
Quillebeuf
,
which
he
hath
newly
fortified
and
called
Henrienburgh
,
and
hath
a
great
desire
to
do
it
good
but
our
merchaunts
have
no
liking
to
remove
from
Rouen
,
and
think
it
would
much
hinder
their
commodity
.
I
sent
your
honor
a
note
of
the
grievances
and
impositions
raised
upon
our
commodities
since
1572
,
which
is
wholly
contrary
to
the
treaty
.
Her
Majesty
on
the
other
side
as
I
am
informed
hath
raised
little
or
nothing
,
and
the
greatest
matter
they
can
complain
of
will
be
some
few
licences
,
which
I
suppose
her
Majesty
will
make
no
great
difficulty
to
revoke
,
rather
then
that
they
should
hinder
so
great
a
benefit
to
her
subjects
.
And
so
hoping
to
receive
answer
of
my
letter
touching
the
20000
crowns
,
and
the
party
I
have
stayed
to
be
employed
into
Spain
,
within
the
time
limited
.
I
humbly
take
my
leave
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's
,
&

YOUR
dispatch
of
the
28th
of
August
,
came
not
to
my
hands
till
the
17th
of
September
in
the
evening
:
neither
came
it
by
the
party
your
honor
mentioned
therein
,
whom
your
honor
also
commended
to
my
care
to
be
furthered
in
his
journey
and
employment
by
me
,
but
by
one
Honiman
who
brought
likewise
letters
from
the
governor
of
Dieppe
to
Monsieur
Villeroy
concerning
some
service
,
whereunto
I
procured
him
answer
I
hope
to
her
Majesty's
contentment
,
and
dispatched
him
away
in
haste
upon
Thursday
morning
.
This
Mr
.
Honiman
told
me
,
that
luff
who
should
have
brought
this
packet
,
took
shipping
directly
for
Bayonne
as
his
best
course
,
which
dischargeth
me
of
a
great
part
of
the
care
your
honor
committed
to
me
to
procure
his
safe
passage
thither
.
For
the
other
point
of
procuring
him
to
be
commended
to
Monsieur
Grammont
,
I
will
do
it
with
all
the
dexterity
and
caution
I
can
:
wherein
I
assure
your
honor
I
dare
not
use
6
122
monsieur
de
Villeroy
;
and
for
the
old
woman
,
I
am
afraid
to
trust
her
with
it
,
and
besides
I
hear
she
is
retired
from
hence
.
But
I
will
advise
with
d
100
the
Duke
de
Bouillon
,
of
the
best
means
to
do
it
,
and
therein
I
must
be
driven
to
deal
plainly
with
him
,
for
he
will
think
it
strange
that
I
should
be
so
careful
to
recommend
a
scott
,
except
it
be
for
some
service
to
be
done
for
her
Majesty
.
Mr
.
Honniman
had
set
down
a
course
which
he
saith
he
did
acquaint
your
honor
with
,
to
have
obtained
letters
of
natturalization
for
him
of
this
King
as
for
a
Scot
,
supposing
it
would
make
his
disguising
more
probable
,
if
he
were
brought
in
question
.
But
having
received
no
such
direction
from
your
honor
,
I
disliked
that
course
,
both
for
the
incongruity
of
it
,
that
I
should
have
laboured
in
such
a
matter
for
a
scott
,
(
there
being
an
Ambassador
of
that
nation
here
,
which
would
have
made
the
matter
very
suspicious
;)
and
also
because
it
must
have
passed
under
the
great
seal
,
and
consequently
through
too
many
hands
to
have
been
kept
secret
.
I
guess
,
by
reason
your
honor
hath
employed
so
many
already
that
way
,
that
you
will
have
no
need
or
use
of
him
that
I
advertised
you
of
in
my
last
.
Yet
all
quallities
requisite
in
such
an
employment
considered
,
I
think
you
should
not
easily
find
a
fitter
.
I
will
not
therefore
absolutely
discharge
him
,
till
I
hear
of
an
answer
from
your
honor
.
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
told
me
the
last
time
I
spake
with
him
,
that
her
Majesty
had
imparted
unto
their
Ambassador
,
what
had
passed
between
her
and
him
that
came
out
of
the
low-countries
about
the
treaty
of
peace
.
I
have
in
former
communication
both
with
the
King
and
him
,
signified
in
generality
,
that
if
the
treaty
proceeded
,
her
Majesty
would
be
very
willing
and
desirous
to
receive
the
King's
advice
in
it
;
that
as
their
interests
were
sincerely
joined
,
and
in
a
sort
common
,
so
their
proceedings
likewise
might
be
by
common
advice
and
council
.
I
could
never
have
other
answer
but
this
,
that
when
her
Majesty
should
require
it
,
the
King
would
not
refuse
to
give
her
his
faithful
advice
;
but
he
knew
her
to
be
so
wise
,
and
so
well
assisted
by
wise
council
,
as
she
little
needed
his
.
If
her
Majesty's
pleasure
be
that
I
shall
more
particularly
urge
it
,
it
may
please
your
honor
to
direct
me
in
what
sort
,
and
upon
what
particularities
.
I
dare
not
in
a
matter
of
this
weight
interpose
any
of
my
own
conjectures
;
but
surely
I
am
very
jealous
that
this
counsel
hath
a
great
design
upon
this
peace
,
supposing
that
her
Majesty
will
make
it
without
the
states
,
and
that
they
will
be
forced
thereupon
to
cast
themselves
into
this
King's
armes
.
I
have
many
motives
to
be
of
this
opinion
.
*
First
,
I
am
informed
by
good
means
,
that
when
your
honor
came
over
here
,
with
commission
and
purpose
to
have
entered
into
the
treaty
of
peace
jointly
with
this
King
,
if
the
States
should
have
been
contented
to
have
treated
likewise
:
the
King
did
underhand
dissuade
them
from
peace
,
upon
assurance
of
a
standing
supply
from
him
of
200000
crowns
yeerely
,
besides
other
secret
favors
.
This
he
hath
not
performed
since
,
but
only
so
much
as
might
keep
them
out
of
despayre
,
but
not
out
of
necessitie
.
Again
,
they
do
what
they
can
here
to
put
a
jealousy
into
the
states
heads
of
her
Majesty
,
that
she
will
abandon
them
.
They
seek
to
break
off
the
intelligence
between
her
and
them
,
and
have
in
a
manner
expresly
forbidden
their
Agent
here
,
to
have
too
straight
communication
with
me
,
or
to
let
me
know
how
matters
pass
between
them
;
in
the
mean
time
the
King
fills
them
full
of
verball
comfort
that
he
will
not
forsake
them
,
whosoever
else
do
.
All
which
in
my
poor
opinion
doth
inferr
thus
much
,
that
they
would
not
have
them
make
peace
,
but
yet
they
would
be
content
to
sever
them
from
her
Majesty
,
and
that
they
should
depend
only
upon
French
hopes
and
amity
.
I
remember
that
monsieur
la
fontaine
conferring
with
me
at
large
the
same
day
I
came
from
London
of
these
and
other
matters
,
told
me
,
that
the
King
would
willingly
join
with
the
Queen
in
their
maintenance
,
because
she
knew
his
undertaking
it
alone
might
breed
some
jealousy
between
them
:
but
assuredly
he
was
resolved
that
it
was
necessary
by
all
means
that
they
should
be
upholden
;
and
if
the
Queen
would
not
join
in
it
he
would
do
it
alone
,
rather
than
they
should
shrinke
or
yeeld
under
the
burden
.
R
.
165
.
The
states
Agent
hath
directly
told
me
,
the
King's
drift
is
to
sever
them
from
this
straight
dependance
and
amity
,
which
they
now
bold
with
her
Majesty
.
If
this
be
not
prevented
,
your
honor
can
best
judge
of
what
consequence
and
danger
it
may
be
.
For
surely
,
more
than
in
the
King's
own
inclination
,
(
which
perhaps
is
no
very
sure
anker
neither
,)
you
can
make
no
foundation
in
this
amity
.
They
which
saw
and
heard
,
what
rejoicing
was
here
generally
at
our
imaginary
danger
,
upon
the
rumor
of
the
Spaniards
landing
in
England
,
might
easily
conceive
what
affection
they
bare
in
their
hearts
towards
us
.
Besides
,
their
careless
proceeding
to
give
her
Majesty
any
contentment
,
in
her
just
demands
and
so
important
occasions
,
argueth
their
little
regarde
of
her
,
and
their
small
desire
of
her
prosperity
.
I
have
had
it
often
answered
me
,
when
I
have
urged
the
Queen's
great
merits
,
as
a
motive
to
them
to
give
her
good
contentment
in
those
things
she
required
of
them
,
that
in
doing
that
,
she
did
as
much
assure
her
own
estate
as
pleasure
them
.
But
that
which
chiefly
makes
me
to
mistrust
this
amity
,
is
the
drift
that
in
my
poor
judgment
may
be
discovered
daily
in
the
chief
ministers
and
counselors
here
,
to
work
a
persuasion
and
hope
in
the
King
,
that
he
may
become
head
of
the
Catholic
party
throughout
Christendom
;
for
the
obtaining
whereof
,
there
is
no
doubt
they
will
likewise
persuade
him
,
that
he
must
estrange
himself
from
all
show
and
effects
of
friendship
to
those
of
the
other
side
,
and
to
entertain
straight
amity
only
with
the
catholiques
.
Hence
comes
the
paring
of
his
last
edict
granted
to
them
of
the
religion
,
in
such
sort
as
it
is
far
worse
than
that
of
77
,
which
was
granted
them
by
the
last
King
in
a
time
when
they
were
exceeding
weak
,
and
at
discord
among
themselves
.
Hence
comes
also
the
manifest
neglect
and
injury
to
them
of
Geneva
,
not
only
omitting
them
out
of
his
treaty
with
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
though
his
predecessor
had
taken
them
into
his
protection
,
but
in
refusing
to
pay
them
that
which
they
Lent
him
,
and
disbursed
for
his
service
.
Hence
the
inclination
,
and
almost
the
resolution
to
readmit
the
Jesuits
,
though
greatly
resisted
by
this
court
of
parliament
.
And
of
this
very
root
I
suppose
that
great
coldness
to
arise
,
which
I
have
found
in
all
things
that
I
have
dealt
in
since
my
coming
.
To
all
which
,
if
the
King's
inclination
be
opposed
,
and
this
late
kind
offer
to
her
Majesty
;
I
answer
the
matter
is
not
yet
ripe
,
nor
throughly
wrought
,
but
what
may
not
ministers
so
affected
work
in
time
,
with
a
Prince
that
disburdeneth
himself
of
all
affairs
as
much
as
he
can
,
and
casteth
the
care
upon
them
.
Besides
your
honor
remembreth
the
saying
of
tacitus
,
beneficia
eo
usque
lata
sunt
dum
videntur
exolvi
posse
;
ubi
multum
antevenêre
,
pro
gratia
odium
redditur
.
I
cannot
forget
however
,
in
*
my
first
audience
the
King
told
me
,
upon
occasion
of
some
speech
which
then
passed
between
us
,
that
he
stood
in
as
good
terms
at
Rome
,
and
had
as
good
credit
as
the
King
of
Spain
.
Pardon
me
I
humbly
beseech
your
honor
,
that
I
am
entered
so
far
into
this
argument
,
for
though
it
belong
rather
to
my
place
to
advertise
,
than
to
infer
or
to
enforce
,
yet
my
zeal
to
her
Majesty's
service
cannot
contain
itself
within
ordinary
bounds
,
and
methinks
I
see
somewhat
more
than
I
can
by
a
bare
advertisement
explaine
.
What
I
have
written
I
beseech
your
honor
to
keep
to
yourself
,
and
to
interpret
it
if
I
erre
,
as
an
error
of
mistake
,
and
not
of
presumption
.
I
received
within
these
two
days
,
this
book
which
I
send
your
honor
;
the
+
author
of
it
is
now
sicke
of
an
ague
,
which
he
fears
may
turn
into
a
consumption
,
for
the
recovery
whereof
he
is
very
desirous
to
go
into
England
,
and
hath
made
means
unto
me
to
procure
your
honor's
passport
to
return
thither
and
to
present
himself
to
your
honor
;
which
perhaps
he
intends
not
,
without
some
pourpose
of
offering
his
service
further
unto
you
.
I
beseech
your
honor
to
let
me
understand
your
pleasure
,
both
touching
him
and

Concerning
the
matter
whereof
I
wished
that
Bennet
the
capuchin
should
be
examined
,
Mr
.
Edmonds
can
very
fully
inform
your
honor
.
But
for
the
particularities
which
may
most
import
the
King
to
know
,
I
will
inform
my
self
as
soon
as
I
may
,
and
advertise
your
honor
thereof
.
For
the
posts
which
I
have
dispatched
since
my
coming
,
I
assure
your
honor
except
one
or
two
,
they
could
have
little
business
else
but
what
I
delivered
them
,
for
I
dispatched
them
upon
the
sudden
,
and
other
means
than
by
the
posts
I
have
none
sometimes
in
two
months
together
,
and
those
I
have
in
that
sort
,
I
find
are
very
slow
.
But
if
your
honor
think
well
of
that
uncertain
and
slow
means
of
conveyance
of
letters
,
I
will
conform
myself
to
your
pleasure
therein
hereafter
,
though
I
am
sure
that
my
advertisements
will
be
very
stale
by
this
means
before
they
come
,
which
perhaps
will
be
imputed
to
my
negligence
.
And
so
,

Your
honor's

HENRY
NEVILLE

P

S
.
Monsieur
Villeroy
in
my
last
conference
with
him
,
told
me
he
understood
we
were
towards
a
peace
in
Ireland
,
and
that
Tyronne
offered
parley
.
I
did
rather
take
it
for
a
scorn
than
for
a
truth
,
but
I
replied
nothing
,
because
I
had
not
then
received
your
honor's
letters
,
and
knew
not
what
he
might
have
received
in
his
packet
from
Monsieur
de
Boissise
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
26th
Sept
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
received
your
honor's
letter
with
her
Majesty's
to
this
King
enclosed
upon
Monday
at
noon
being
the
24th
of
this
month
,
having
the
morning
before
written
by
Musfy
unto
you
;
and
because
I
understood
that
the
King
was
at
Malesherbes
,
and
was
therefore
uncertain
of
my
audience
,
I
sent
away
my
Secretary
presently
with
the
letter
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
to
Fontainebleau
as
your
honor
commanded
me
.
I
received
his
answer
this
afternoon
,
which
I
send
herewith
,
which
confirmed
what
I
have
heretofore
written
,
that
where
he
may
use
Monsieur
de
Boissise
,
he
will
impart
nothing
to
me
.
Your
honor
I
hope
will
use
the
like
measure
,
or
else
my
disadvantage
will
be
great
.
Your
honor
shall
likewise
receive
herewith
,
a
copy
of
a
letter
from
the
first
president
of
Aix
to
the
King
,
touching
the
prise
of
an
English
ship
made
by
those
of
Marseilles
,
about
which
her
Majesty
wrote
unto
him
.
It
seems
they
mean
to
insist
upon
two
points
,
the
one
,
the
town
was
not
then
in
the
King's
obedience
,
and
consequently
discharged
of
all
things
done
then
,
by
the
King's
pardon
granted
upon
their
coming
in
.
The
other
,
that
the
prise
made
by
her
Majesty's
ship
of
theirs
which
went
to
Newhaven
was
not
lawful
,
because
there
was
at
that
time
free
trade
between
the
English
and
the
Marseillians
.
For
the
former
,
it
is
a
point
by
all
means
to
be
insisted
upon
,
for
otherwise
we
shall
continually
be
choked
with
that
answer
,
and
shall
be
without
remedy
in
most
of
the
complaints
which
I
have
seen
,
the
wrongs
being
chiefly
done
by
them
who
were
at
that
time
of
the
league
;
whom
although
the
King
night
pardon
for
offenses
done
against
him
,
yet
he
could
not
pardon
those
that
were
committed
against
his
allies
;
or
if
he
will
,
he
must
of
his
own
make
good
the
damages
.
Therefore
I
beseech
your
honor
to
be
well
advised
of
this
point
,
and
to
insist
upon
it
,
and
rather
than
fail
,
to
make
stay
of
execution
of
judgment
given
upon
their
complaints
in
England
,
till
you
see
how
we
shall
be
dealt
with
here
;
otherwise
I
foresee
plainly
that
we
shall
be
at
an
after
deal
.
For
the
second
point
,
I
have
already
answered
it
,
and
told
them
,
that
the
Queen's
ship
did
not
make
that
prise
as
upon
the
King's
enemies
or
rebels
,
but
as
upon
his
subjects
that
disobeyed
his
proclamation
,
by
trafficking
with
leaguers
,
and
consequently
incurred
the
penalty
of
confiscation
,
which
thereby
he
inflicted
upon
them
;
and
that
it
concerned
the
King
in
honor
,
to
justify
that
which
was
done
in
his
service
and
by
his
commandment
.
Your
honor
will
I
hope
deal
roundly
with
the
French
Ambassador
upon
these
points
,
and
direct
me
how
I
shall
further
proceed
,
both
about
this
and
the
rest
of
the
matters
which
I
have
begun
to
negotiate
here
,
namely
about
the
demand
of
money
for
the
next
year
.
I
willed
my
Secretary
to
know
of
monsieur
de
Villeroy
what
he
understood
more
of
the
return
of
the
Spanish
fleet
into
Ferrol
,
and
it
feemeth
by
his
speech
to
him
,
that
his
advertisement
came
but
from
monsieur
de
Sourdiac
;
but
to
me
,
I
assure
your
honor
,
he
said
he
had
received
it
out
of
Spain
.
He
saith
now
,
he
heard
they
were
dispersed
by
tempest
,
but
nothing
of
their
return
thither
.
I
know
not
what
his
meaning
is
by
these
forgetfulnesses
or
rather
contradictions
,
but
I
hope
your
honor
is
too
well
advertised
,
to
build
upon
those
that
shall
come
from
hence
for
Spanish
matters
.
The
Cardinal
Joyeuse
is
expected
this
night
at
Fontainebleau
,
where
his
lodgings
are
already
prepared
.
The
proposition
presented
to
the
Pope
by
Monsieur
de
Sillery
,
for
the
separation
for
the
King
from
his
*
wife
,
as
I
understand
,
was
committed
to
consideration
in
full
consistory
to
eight
cardinals
,
+
whereof
Bellarmine
was
one
,
and
the
Archbishop
of
Florence
,
late
Legate
here
another
;
he
,
for
his
experience
in
these
parts
,
the
other
,
for
his
sufficiency
in
learning
.
It
seems
they
seek
to
have
this
marriage
pronounced
esse
nullum
.
For
a
simple
divorce
(
which
the
Church
of
Rome
doth
peremptorily
defend
to
be
Ã
thoro
non
Ã
vinculo
)
will
not
give
place
to
a
second
marriage
.
+
The
Queen
hath
been
often
solicited
to
acknowledge
,
that
the
marriage
was
enforced
by
fear
and
never
consummated
between
them
,
to
which
she
protesteth
never
to
condescend
;
so
that
it
is
likely
many
more
difficulties
will
arise
in
this
matter
than
yet
are
thought
of
,
or
can
be
determined
in
so
short
a
time
as
the
King
at
first
did
expect
.
I
send
your
honor
a
letter
from
Mr
.
Locke
which
I
received
this
morning
.
D
100
the
Duke
de
Bouillon
hath
been
hitherto
at
Fontainebleau
,
but
this
day
returned
to
this
town
as
I
hear
.
I
will
speak
with
him
about
Luff
whom
your
honor
recommended
unto
me
.
And
so
craving
pardon
for
my
shortness
at
this
time
,
by
reason
of
some
domestic
misfortune
in
the
loss
of
my
son
lately
born
,
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
,
&
c
.
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
5th
Oct
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
wrote
unto
you
by
Simons
,
and
sent
you
the
answer
I
received
from
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
to
her
Majesty's
letter
,
and
likewise
to
the
offer
I
made
to
have
Bennet
the
Capuchin
examined
.
I
understand
since
by
the
Duke
de
Bouillon
,
that
the
Irishmen
were
set
at
liberty
before
that
letter
came
;
and
for
the
examination
of
Bennet
,
he
told
me
,
the
King
would
gladly
it
were
done
,
but
would
not
be
seen
in
it
.
I
answered
,
if
I
might
have
instructions
delivered
me
whereupon
to
examine
him
,
it
should
be
done
without
the
knowledge
of
the
King's
dealing
in
it
;
he
promised
to
furnish
me
with
them
,
but
hath
not
yet
done
it
.
Your
honor
may
see
how
fearful
the
King
is
to
displease
them
of
the
Church
.
Since
Mr
.
Honniman's
departure
,
I
received
advertisement
from
him
,
that
by
his
means
the
governor
of
Dieppe
had
imprisoned
at
Tréport
a
French
captain
,
who
had
served
some
time
in
a
ship
of
Dunkirk
,
and
therein
done
many
spoils
to
our
nation
;
but
he
wrote
me
neither
the
name
of
the
man
or
the
ship
,
which
was
an
error
in
him
.
Notwithstanding
,
upon
that
ground
I
had
I
dealt
with
the
council
,
and
have
obtained
letters
to
the
governor
to
proceed
to
inform
against
him
,
and
if
he
be
found
guilty
,
to
do
justice
upon
him
.
I
was
the
more
earnest
to
prosecute
this
matter
,
because
I
am
informed
'
tis
an
ordinary
matter
for
Frenchmen
to
serve
in
ships
of
Dunkirk
,
and
sometimes
to
take
upon
them
the
name
of
Dunkirkers
when
they
be
none
,
thereby
to
have
the
freer
scope
against
us
:
so
that
we
are
daily
spoiled
by
both
,
not
only
to
the
loss
of
her
Majesty's
subjects
,
especially
the
coast-men
,
but
to
her
great
dishonor
,
who
was
wont
to
be
mistress
of
the
seas
,
and
is
now
affronted
by
every
base
fisher
town
.
I
do
labor
therefore
to
have
some
exemplary
justice
done
upon
this
man
,
as
well
to
bridle
others
who
will
take
that
course
hereafter
,
as
to
recall
those
that
are
already
in
it
;
and
for
that
purpose
I
have
entreated
a
merchant
at
Rouen
to
go
to
Dieppe
to
solicit
the
cause
,
and
to
produce
what
informations
he
can
against
him
.
And
if
he
cannot
be
sufficiently
furnished
here
,
I
have
willed
him
to
make
bold
to
signify
so
much
unto
your
honor
,
and
to
pray
that
either
from
Mr
.
Honniman
,
or
by
some
other
means
from
the
coast
,
he
may
be
furnished
with
matter
against
him
.
I
have
also
willed
him
to
deal
with
the
governor
for
the
apprehension
of
some
others
,
of
whom
I
have
like
information
;
and
I
beseech
your
honor
to
deal
earnestly
with
the
Ambassador
there
,
that
there
may
be
some
public
proclamation
made
for
the
recalling
of
all
such
as
serve
in
the
galleys
or
ships
of
the
enemies
,
upon
pain
of
confiscation
;
for
by
Frenchmen
comes
a
great
part
of
our
mischief
daily
,
who
pass
under
the
name
of
Dunkirkers
.
I
mean
to
deal
to
the
same
effect
with
the
council
here
,
and
the
more
reason
we
have
to
insist
hereupon
,
because
as
I
learn
by
one
which
is
familiar
with
the
Spanish
Ambassador
here
,
that
Spinola
hath
undertaken
,
by
promise
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
to
build
ten
galleys
more
this
winter
in
the
Low
Countries
,
which
no
doubt
he
hopes
to
furnish
(
chiefly
at
least
)
with
pilots
out
of
France
;
in
the
mean
time
he
is
captain
of
these
six
,
and
hath
allowance
for
payment
of
1000
men
.
The
Duke
de
Bouillon
hath
undertaken
the
commending
of
Mr
.
Luff
to
Monsieur
de
Grammont
in
as
ample
manner
as
I
desired
.
The
Cardinal
Joyeuse
having
been
a
week
with
the
King
at
Fontainebleau
,
goeth
shortly
to
the
Queen
,
and
with
him
the
Bishop
of
Arles
come
lately
from
Rome
.
The
Cardinal
comes
with
very
large
commission
in
that
cause
,
and
it
is
thought
it
will
shortly
be
determined
;
for
which
purpose
the
Queen
Dowager
at
the
King's
entreaty
goeth
likewise
to
the
Queen
,
to
dispose
her
to
conformity
in
such
things
as
are
required
of
her
;
whereunto
fear
of
worse
which
she
begins
to
apprehend
,
will
in
the
end
persuade
her
.
The
King
hath
now
at
length
won
the
fort
at
Malesherbes
which
he
hath
so
long
laid
siege
to
;
the
conditions
are
100000
crowns
in
ready
money
,
and
an
yearly
pension
:
The
next
news
we
shall
hear
I
think
will
be
,
that
she
is
made
Countess
of
Moret
,
and
her
father
Marshal
of
France
,
by
the
resignation
of
the
old
Marshal
de
Retz
.
What
alteration
this
may
breed
in
the
King's
marriage
is
very
doubtful
;
for
my
part
,
if
the
divorce
were
once
throughly
dispatched
,
and
she
with
child
,
I
think
verily
he
would
marry
her
.
In
the
mean
time
I
assure
myself
he
will
make
no
haste
to
any
other
,
though
that
marriage
of
Florence
be
still
in
speech
to
content
the
world
,
and
to
draw
on
the
divorce
the
more
easily
.
The
restitution
of
the
Jesuits
goeth
on
with
full
sails
in
the
jurisdiction
of
all
the
parlements
but
Paris
,
where
it
is
thought
the
King
being
turned
,
will
likewise
turn
those
Messieurs
too
in
the
end
.
The
reasons
that
have
wrought
this
alteration
in
the
King
are
partly
these
;
a
need
he
hath
now
of
the
Pope
,
who
labors
it
very
hotly
;
but
chiefly
as
I
conceive
,
the
drift
and
scope
of
his
principal
counselors
whereof
I
wrote
in
my
letter
by
Musfy
,
and
of
which
I
think
we
shall
see
more
effects
daily
.
The
Pope
to
effect
his
purpose
herein
the
better
,
hath
assured
the
King
,
that
he
will
so
bridle
them
with
orders
and
ecclesiastical
censures
,
as
he
shall
not
need
to
doubt
they
will
exceed
the
bounds
of
their
calling
,
or
intermeddle
with
matters
of
state
.
They
do
here
likewise
speak
of
a
restraint
to
be
joined
to
their
re-admission
,
that
they
shall
not
be
capable
to
receive
any
gift
or
legacy
above
a
small
value
.
One
great
difficulty
ariseth
,
how
they
shall
be
restored
to
their
colleges
,
lands
and
goods
,
which
in
divers
places
have
been
confiscated
and
sold
to
the
King's
use
.
There
are
two
in
this
town
(
as
I
wrote
lately
)
writing
bitterly
against
them
.
This
day
Pasquier
was
with
me
again
,
to
request
some
instructions
of
their
proceedings
against
her
Majesty's
person
and
her
estate
,
and
particularly
of
their
late
dealing
in
Spain
with
Squire
for
the
poisoning
of
her
.
If
it
please
your
honor
to
afford
me
an
abstract
of
their
bad
practices
,
set
down
by
some
of
her
Majesty's
learned
council
,
I
think
it
might
be
to
good
purpose
.
The
estate
of
the
King's
finances
for
the
next
year
is
not
finished
,
therefore
I
cannot
yet
advertise
what
her
Majesty
shall
look
for
from
them
;
but
I
solicit
them
as
much
as
with
any
good
manners
I
may
,
to
have
a
due
regard
of
her
.
The
Duke
of
Bouillon
told
me
,
that
if
the
Spanish
invasion
had
proceeded
,
the
King
was
resolved
to
set
all
other
respects
aside
,
and
to
have
furnished
her
with
a
good
round
sum
,
which
indeed
I
urged
much
at
that
instant
,
instead
of
his
other
succors
offered
.
But
of
this
your
honor
may
believe
as
much
or
as
little
as
you
will
,
and
these
words
now
cost
them
nothing
.
All
my
care
is
that
her
Majesty
may
receive
some
good
satisfaction
the
next
year
,
and
in
some
reasonable
time
,
to
make
use
of
before
summer
be
too
far
spent
for
her
wars
in
Ireland
;
although
these
men
here
will
needs
persuade
me
,
that
things
grow
near
a
pacification
there
,
and
that
Tyrone
offers
to
come
in
.
They
also
tell
me
,
that
her
Majesty
and
the
Archduke
intend
to
send
both
shortly
to
the
King
to
desire
a
convenient
place
in
his
kingdom
to
meet
and
treat
of
peace
in
:
But
I
deny
all
that
I
hear
not
from
your
honor
.
The
matter
of
the
Marquisate
depends
as
it
did
,
but
the
King
showeth
himself
unwilling
to
put
it
into
the
Pope's
hands
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
offered
him
in
exchange
Bresse
and
Savoy
,
but
he
will
not
accept
it
.
Cardinal
Andreas
is
gone
to
be
Governor
of
Milan
,
and
hath
therein
left
many
deceived
,
who
thought
rather
he
had
gone
into
Portugal
.
Of
the
German
army
we
hear
nothing
but
shame
,
for
their
weak
and
irresolute
proceeding
.
They
have
levied
the
siege
they
had
undertaken
,
and
have
at
length
joined
the
relics
which
remain
with
the
States
,
having
purchased
dishonor
with
a
very
great
charge
.
I
have
at
length
received
the
20000
crowns
in
this
town
,
as
I
was
enforced
through
the
unreasonableness
of
the
Treasurer
of
the
Épargne
with
whom
I
had
to
deal
:
I
expect
your
honor's
directions
to
whom
I
shall
deliver
it
.
I
could
put
it
into
the
hands
of
three
Italians
here
,
called
Spada
,
Segso
,
and
Ferrarino
,
after
the
rate
I
wrote
of
,
but
I
dare
do
nothing
before
I
hear
from
your
honor
.
And
if
you
shall
direct
me
to
deal
with
these
Italians
,
it
were
good
first
to
know
,
whether
Corsini
and
Ricci
with
whom
they
have
correspondency
,
will
accept
their
bills
for
such
a
sum
or
nay
.
The
parliaments
of
Brittany
,
Toulouse
,
and
Bordeaux
,
stand
hitherto
very
obstinately
against
the
edict
for
the
liberty
of
religion
,
neither
is
there
hope
that
hereafter
they
will
be
induced
to
admit
of
it
.
The
Marquis
of
Pisani
governor
of
the
young
Prince
of
Condé
is
lately
dead
,
into
whose
charge
is
substituted
Chevalier
Rambouillet
.
This
week
the
Count
de
Lude
is
set
forward
to
Brussels
,
to
congratulate
with
the
Archduke
and
the
Infanta
for
their
safe
arrival
in
those
parts
.
I
understand
that
the
Duke
of
Arschot
is
sent
from
the
Archduke
and
Infanta
to
treat
with
the
States
of
a
peace
,
or
at
the
least
to
endeavor
to
induce
them
to
treat
to
that
purpose
,
whereof
I
rest
assured
your
honor
hath
more
perfect
advertisement
.
Out
of
Hungary
we
hear
that
the
Emperor
and
Turk
do
treat
of
a
peace
.
The
Cham
of
Tartary
is
the
mean
between
them
,
who
useth
in
this
negotiation
Paleologo
.
Deputies
on
both
parties
are
appointed
for
the
treaty
,
and
motion
hath
been
made
,
that
acts
of
hostility
in
this
interim
might
be
suspended
.
And
so
for
this
time
I
humbly
take
my
leave
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's

HENRY
NEVILLE

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
,
11th
Oct
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
received
your
honor's
letters
of
the
25th
of
September
the
6th
of
October
,
and
the
morrow
after
,
Peter
Brown
arrived
with
your
letter
of
the
28th
of
September
.
By
that
which
brown
brought
your
honor
hath
imparted
unto
me
the
substance
of
the
parley
between
the
Earl
of
Essex
and
Tyrone
,
for
which
I
most
humbly
thank
you
,
and
beseech
God
there
may
grow
a
good
conclusion
thereof
to
her
Majesty's
quiet
and
contentment
.
That
opinion
of
your
honors
I
hold
for
an
oracle
,
that
rumores
non
funt
pouendi
ante
falutem
,
and
that
tuta
are
to
be
prefered
before
speciosa
.
I
assure
your
honor
,
that
by
compounding
these
matters
in
any
sort
,
your
honor
shall
greatly
establish
her
Majesty's
reputation
in
these
parts
,
where
it
is
held
for
a
maxime
,
that
the
honor
of
a
Prince
confisth
en
bien
faisant
fes
affairs
,
and
where
the
opinion
hath
been
conceived
and
delivered
,
not
without
shew
of
rejoycing
by
some
principal
persons
,
that
her
Majesty
would
never
see
an
end
of
those
troubles
in
her
time
.
The
King
himself
,
at
my
audience
at
Orleans
,
used
these
speeches
unto
me
,
talking
of
the
war
of
Ireland
:
the
Queen
your
Mistress
thought
I
dealt
too
basely
in
making
composition
with
my
subjects
,
and
buying
my
peace
;
we
shall
see
whether
shall
speed
better
,
she
with
her
gloriousness
,
or
I
with
that
she
calls
baseness
.
The
rest
I
certifyed
at
that
time
:
this
I
forbore
,
because
I
would
not
breed
offense
.
But
I
see
,
howsoever
tho
'
for
their
own
interest
they
would
be
loth
Spain
should
prevail
against
us
,
yet
they
would
be
contented
we
should
be
humbled
,
and
kept
as
low
as
might
be
;
as
well
in
envy
to
our
prosperity
,
as
upon
a
desire
that
we
may
be
enforced
to
stand
in
more
respective
and
regardfull
terms
towards
them
.
But
if
this
pacifycation
succeed
,
you
shall
greatly
disappoint
them
,
and
find
that
they
will
treat
with
you
with
much
better
respect
:
the
want
whereof
hitherto
,
considering
her
Majesty's
great
merits
and
quallity
,
I
must
confess
,
hath
moved
me
to
some
indignation
.
I
do
not
doubt
also
,
but
you
shall
find
great
advantage
by
it
in
your
treaty
with
Spain
,
when
they
shall
see
you
treat
with
them
upon
pleasure
,
and
not
upon
necessity
.
By
your
other
letter
of
the
25th
of
September
,
I
understand
her
majestic's
pleasure
touching
w
.
209
Charles
Paget
,
which
I
made
known
unto
him
in
such
sort
as
I
was
therein
directed
.
I
found
the
man
exceeding
forrowfull
,
and
to
bewayle
very
moch
the
loss
of
his
hope
therein
,
the
rather
for
that
he
hath
been
born
in
hand
these
two
years
,
(
by
such
as
he
used
for
his
means
)
that
her
Majesty
was
very
graciously
enclined
to
have
taken
compassion
upon
him
;
but
for
the
matter
thus
he
answered
.
That
if
it
would
have
pleased
her
Majesty
to
have
pardoned
him
,
and
thereby
given
him
the
right
and
quallity
of
her
subject
,
which
he
stands
now
deprived
of
,
as
he
might
have
juftityed
whatsoever
he
would
have
done
for
her
service
with
good
credit
and
reputation
,
so
he
would
have
done
it
faithfully
,
and
not
only
to
have
reavealed
whatsoever
either
himself
hath
treated
with
others
,
or
others
with
him
,
or
whatsoever
he
had
understood
to
be
treated
by
others
against
her
Majesty
;
but
also
to
have
employed
his
credit
and
acquaintance
in
foreign
parts
,
for
the
discovery
of
any
practice
that
might
be
used
hereafter
.
But
not
standing
in
the
quallity
of
her
subject
,
nor
in
any
afsurance
of
her
Grace
or
protection
,
to
serve
in
the
quallity
of
a
spe
,
to
the
prejudice
of
them
from
whom
he
was
to
receive
maintenance
and
protection
,
it
was
a
thing
he
could
not
do
either
with
credit
or
safety
.
And
prayed
me
to
assure
my
self
,
that
it
was
not
want
that
he
either
felt
or
feared
,
that
had
moved
him
to
seek
her
Majesty's
Grace
and
favor
;
but
a
remorfe
of
conscience
,
and
a
desire
to
end
his
days
with
that
peace
and
satisfaction
of
mind
,
that
he
dyed
in
the
obedience
of
his
natural
Prince
,
and
that
before
his
death
he
had
done
her
some
service
.
Which
though
he
was
not
so
happy
to
attaine
unto
,
yet
it
was
a
great
quieting
to
his
conscience
that
he
had
sought
it
,
and
failing
of
it
,
though
he
should
be
enforced
to
accept
the
offers
of
other
princes
that
were
made
him
for
his
maintenance
,
(
which
must
needs
tye
him
to
a
duty
and
service
towards
them
,)
yet
it
should
be
ever
with
the
same
mind
and
respect
he
hath
always
born
to
her
Majesty
;
namely
,
to
oppose
himself
as
he
hath
often
done
,
and
to
hinder
as
much
as
lay
in
him
,
all
violent
courses
against
her
person
or
her
estate
:
and
though
he
should
be
never
so
well
accommodated
in
the
service
of
any
other
Prince
,
yet
whensoever
God
shall
move
her
Majesty
to
take
any
compassion
upon
him
,
he
would
leave
all
to
come
to
prostrate
himself
at
her
feet
.
I
replied
not
much
unto
him
,
because
I
found
him
resolute
not
to
deal
in
that
kind
I
proposed
,
only
I
promised
at
his
request
to
relate
his
answer
.
I
have
according
to
your
commandment
sent
over
the
party
that
I
have
stayed
to
be
employed
into
Spain
.
I
have
made
him
bearer
of
these
my
letters
,
and
have
given
him
30
crowns
for
the
charge
of
his
journey
.
He
doth
not
require
to
have
his
money
before
hand
,
except
it
be
some
reasonable
portion
to
carrye
him
thither
,
and
to
maintain
him
till
a
supply
come
.
It
seems
he
would
assigne
a
good
part
of
it
to
be
received
quarterly
by
his
wife
,
whom
he
intends
to
leave
at
Dieppe
,
unless
your
honor
think
better
he
should
leave
her
in
England
for
a
plea
of
his
fidelitie
,
which
he
will
be
contented
to
do
if
you
please
.
For
his
ability
to
judge
of
warlike
preparations
,
although
his
profession
were
not
that
way
,
yet
his
employment
by
this
King
sundry
times
,
and
for
that
purpose
chiefly
,
is
an
argument
that
there
was
some
sufficience
discerned
in
him
.
He
is
born
a
Frenchman
,
upon
the
frontiers
of
Picardy
towards
Artois
.
I
am
assured
by
such
as
recommended
him
unto
me
,
of
his
faithfulness
and
honesty
,
the
rest
your
honor
can
best
judge
of
.
For
the
28000
crowns
,
I
stay
the
delivery
of
it
to
these
Italians
till
I
may
hear
from
your
honor
that
Corsini
and
Ricci
will
accept
their
bills
;
for
the
other
2000
crowns
I
will
be
answerable
for
them
,
and
have
already
given
order
for
the
payment
of
so
much
into
the
exchequer
.
I
beseech
your
honor
to
speak
to
the
Lord
trefurer
that
my
entertainment
be
not
stayed
hereafter
as
it
hath
been
.
By
that
time
this
letter
come
to
your
hands
there
will
be
three
months
owing
me
,
whereas
by
the
privy
seale
,
I
was
to
be
allowed
ever
three
months
beforehand
.
Surely
Sir
if
my
entertainment
be
stopped
,
I
cannot
continue
here
;
and
even
this
stay
of
it
already
hath
put
me
much
to
my
shifts
.
For
the
money
that
is
promissed
from
hence
this
next
year
,
I
can
yet
say
no
answer
:
I
was
yesterday
with
Monsieur
de
Rosny
about
it
,
but
he
could
give
me
no
answer
.
I
think
if
it
would
please
her
Majesty
to
write
to
the
King
of
it
,
it
would
work
some
good
effect
.
Out
of
Spain
I
understand
,
that
of
the
fleet
which
went
from
Ferrol
the
25th
of
August
,
confifting
of
fifty
three
ships
,
whereof
thirty
were
galleons
,
there
returned
seven
driven
back
by
tempest
,
whereof
the
Admiral
was
one
with
her
masts
broken
;
the
rest
pursued
their
voyage
towards
the
terçeras
,
where
they
were
in
hope
to
meet
the
Hollanders
'
fleet
.
The
King
departed
from
Saragossa
the
24th
of
September
stilo
novo
,
and
was
expected
at
the
Escurial
within
ten
days
after
.
The
city
of
Saragossa
,
to
obtain
the
King's
coming
thither
presented
him
with
100000
crowns
,
besides
20000
ducats
to
the
Queen
for
chopines
,
and
6000
to
the
Marquis
of
Denia
.
The
King
at
his
being
there
,
was
contented
that
the
heads
set
up
upon
the
town-house
in
the
last
rebellion
should
be
taken
down
,
and
the
houses
re-edifyed
which
were
then
demolished
.
Antonio
de
Perez
I
hear
is
restored
to
his
lands
,
and
his
wife
and
children
all
at
liberty
.
I
have
secret
intelligence
that
there
is
some
unkindnefs
growing
between
the
King
of
Spain
and
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
and
the
Duke
thereupon
begins
to
make
some
ovetures
to
this
King
to
the
prejudice
of
Spain
;
as
I
learn
more
of
it
I
will
advertise
your
honor
.
I
hear
a
bruit
that
the
Earl
of
Essex
is
returned
,
and
come
already
to
the
court
,
and
that
there
are
commissioners
arrived
in
England
from
the
low
countries
.
Your
honor's
nephew
Mr
.
William
Cecyll
arrived
here
on
Sunday
last
,
and
went
away
the
next
day
towards
Lyons
.
The
King
is
not
yet
come
from
Orleans
,
whether
he
went
upon
Sunday
last
to
meet
with
the
Queen-dowager
;
but
upon
Thursday
or
Friday
next
he
is
expected
at
St
.
Germans
,
and
shortly
after
here
in
this
town
.
The
matter
between
Prince
Joinville
and
monsieur
le
grande
,
hath
occupyed
the
constable
and
marshalls
of
France
a
good
time
;
at
length
they
have
set
down
an
order
,
that
Joinville
should
say
to
the
other
,
that
be
is
sorry
for
that
he
did
,
and
should
pray
him
to
forgive
it
,
which
I
hear
Joinville
refuscth
,
and
so
,

HENRY
NEVILLE

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
22d
of
October
1559
,
o
.
S
.
Wrote
so
lately
unto
your
honor
by
him
that
I
sent
over
to
be
employed
into
Spain
,
that
I
have
not
much
to
add
now
;
yet
the
opportunity
of
this
bearer's
return
provoked
me
not
to
be
altogether
silent
.
I
do
first
therefore
acknowledge
the
receipt
of
your
honor's
letter
which
he
brought
of
the
8th
of
October
,
and
do
most
humbly
thank
you
for
the
advertisements
therein
contained
.
The
news
of
the
pacification
of
Ireland
(
for
so
it
is
believed
here
)
hath
been
current
here
a
good
while
,
but
I
do
not
think
that
the
other
of
my
Lord's
restraynt
is
yet
known
,
at
least
within
these
two
days
I
am
sure
it
was
not
.
I
am
very
glad
to
perceive
by
your
honor's
letter
,
that
your
resolution
continueth
to
accept
of
the
rebel's
submission
upon
any
tolerable
conditions
;
in
my
poor
opinion
her
Majesty
will
find
infinite
advantage
in
it
,
especially
for
her
reputation
abroad
,
which
was
mightily
impeached
by
the
conceit
men
had
generally
received
,
of
the
irrecoverableness
of
that
kingdom
.
The
Ambassador
of
Venice
came
purposely
to
congratulate
with
me
of
it
,
and
said
he
had
dispatched
of
purpose
to
Venice
with
the
advertisement
;
where
he
assured
me
it
would
be
most
acceptable
news
,
in
respect
of
the
danger
and
consequence
they
did
apprehend
might
grow
of
that
war
to
her
Majesty's
estate
;
and
he
added
this
epiphonema
(
which
I
believe
to
be
true
)
that
states
are
governed
by
realities
and
not
by
punctilios's
,
and
that
the
Queen
did
shew
true
judgment
and
wisdom
not
to
formalize
too
much
upon
the
outward
appearance
of
matters
,
but
to
establish
her
peace
by
any
means
,
wherein
consisted
indeed
her
true
honor
and
prosperity
.
The
constable
and
the
Duke
of
Bouillon
came
likewise
to
visit
me
since
the
arrival
of
this
news
,
and
both
spoke
with
me
to
the
same
purpose
.
So
that
your
honor
sees
what
the
opinion
of
all
men
is
here
for
the
point
of
honor
,
which
being
a
matter
wholly
consisting
in
opinion
,
the
true
conceit
of
it
is
the
General
conceit
;
and
therefore
as
I
said
,
I
am
exceeding
glad
that
her
Majesty's
resolutions
rend
that
way
.
For
the
matter
of
the
capuchin

The
Duke
of
Bouillon
told
me
,
the
cause
why
he
had
hitherto
given
me
no
instructions
as
he
promised
me
,
was
the
sickness
of
the
Lieutenant
criminel
who
had
dealt
in
those
examinations
:
but
that
now
he
was
almost
recovered
,
and
I
should
hear
from
him
.
I
understand
for
certain
,
that
both
Bennet
and
Campbell
(
who
was
taken
with
him
)
were
sent
hence
,
and
furnished
with
necessaries
by
f
.
154
The
Ambassador
of
Scotland
,
and
that
Campbell
knows
much
of
his
secrets
.
The
cause
of
their
sending
,
was
to
second
a
project
they
have
(
which
is
greatly
favoured
and
laboured
by
f
.
154
The
Ambassador
of
Scotland
,)
to
introduce
a
liberty
of
religion
into
Scotland
;
for
which
purpose
there
were
two
sent
thither
a
little
before
my
coming
hither
,
the
one
called
the
Laird
of
Ponington
,
the
other
a
Priest
a
Highland-man
called
MacVoigh
or
some
such
Irish
name
.
Their
return
is
shortly
expected
,
and
I
am
promised
to
have
some
understanding
of
the
success
of
their
employment
there
.
It
is
a
thing
much
laboured
,
and
greatly
feared
,
by
the
best
affected
to
that
nation
,
it
were
a
dangerous
president
for
their
neighbours
.
I
beseech
you
Sir
,
let
me
know
if
Bennet
confesse
any
thing
about
Charles
Drury
.
Out
of
the
low-countries
I
understand
,
there
are
two
gallies
building
at
Sluce
and
two
at
Dunkirk
;
there
is
an
expectation
likewise
of
more
to
come
out
of
Spain
this
next
spring
.
The
Spanish
army
is
much
discontented
,
and
being
commanded
to
muster
refused
it
flatly
,
till
they
were
paid
their
arrearages
unto
a
certain
time
.
To
the
requisition
of
the
States
of
Brabant
for
the
dismission
of
the
Spaniards
,
the
Infanta
hath
answered
,
that
she
cannot
do
it
,
unleffe
they
will
undertake
the
burden
and
charge
of
the
war
,
for
the
King
of
Spain
will
be
at
no
charge
any
longer
,
if
the
Spaniards
be
sent
out
of
the
country
.
She
hath
also
demandd
of
them
,
an
increase
of
their
ordinary
contributions
,
for
the
maintenance
of
her
state
and
port
;
pretending
that
by
reason
of
the
separation
of
the
other
provinces
,
and
the
loss
of
that
revenue
which
they
yielded
,
she
shall
not
be
otherwise
able
to
uphold
her
state
,
according
to
her
dignity
.
These
be
very
offensive
propositions
,
which
together
with
the
Archduke's
unpleasing
carriage
of
himself
,
discontent
very
many
,
especially
the
nobility
;
whom
somewhat
to
content
another
way
,
he
hath
obtained
the
order
toison
d'or
for
the
Duke
of
Arschot
,
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
the
Marquis
of
Havre
,
Count
Egmont
,
and
one
or
two
more
.
I
understand
they
have
a
design
to
build
as
much
shipping
as
they
can
in
the
river
of
Sluce
,
wherein
they
intend
to
proceed
,
though
they
should
make
peace
with
us
.
The
Duke
of
Mercur
is
arrived
at
Vienna
with
200
gentlemen
in
his
trayne
,
intending
to
employ
himself
in
those
wars
against
the
Turk
;
where
notwithstanding
it
is
believed
that
matters
are
growing
towards
a
pacification
,
and
that
the
deputies
are
already
assembled
about
it
.
The
General
of
the
Cordeliers
,
otherwise
called
Patriarch
of
Constantinople
arrived
here
upon
Friday
last
,
with
a
Secretary
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy's
called
Roncas
,
who
hath
been
oft
employed
here
.
Their
coming
is
to
propound
unto
the
King
an
exchange
of
other
seigniories
for
the
Marquisat
,
or
that
he
will
be
contented
to
put
it
in
deposit
in
the
Pope's
hands
till
it
be
judged
.
The
opinion
is
the
King
will
agree
to
neither
,
and
that
he
doth
temporize
till
the
matter
of
his
divorce
be
throughly
dispatched
,
minding
afterwards
to
shew
himself
more
warm
in
that
of
the
Marquisat
.
The
discontentment
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy
against
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
the
overtures
thereupon
made
to
this
King
,
is
judged
to
be
but
a
cunning
,
and
therefore
embraced
by
this
King
accordingly
.
The
quarrel
between
the
Prince
of
Joinville
and
monsieur
le
grand
,
was
ended
yesterday
,
for
the
finishing
whereof
the
constable
,
the
marshals
de
Bouillon
,
de
Biron
,
and
d
'
Ornano
met
at
Villette
,
a
village
within
a
mile
of
this
town
:
and
thither
came
from
St
.
Denis
the
Prince
Joinville
,
accompanied
with
the
dukes
of
Guise
,
de
Maine
,
and
de
Nemours
;
and
monsieur
le
grande
from
this
town
,
accompanied
with
the
Duke
of
Trémouille
,
the
Count
de
Rochepot
(
who
goeth
into
Spain
,)
and
Monsieur
de
Liancourt
,
premier
Esquire
.
The
conditions
were
first
signed
by
both
parties
,
and
afterwards
read
,
and
thereupon
they
both
embraced
with
some
words
of
compliments
.
Notwithstanding
,
the
King
is
not
yet
appeased
for
the
affront
done
to
himself
therein
,
but
hath
willed
that
the
Prince
de
Joinville
shall
absent
himself
out
of
his
presence
for
a
time
,
and
some
say
out
of
the
realm
;
but
I
believe
he
will
not
persist
in
that
rigor
.
I
wrote
unto
your
honor
lately
,
that
one
Pasquier
was
writing
a
book
against
the
Jesuits
,
which
he
intended
to
print
here
.
Since
,
at
the
instance
of
the
Nuncio
it
is
forbidden
to
be
printed
here
,
but
the
man
is
resolved
to
set
it
notwithstanding
,
and
hath
made
some
means
to
me
to
know
if
it
might
not
be
printed
in
England
,
though
bearing
the
name
of
Douai
or
some
other
place
;
I
told
him
I
would
answer
within
this
month
,
by
which
time
I
think
his
book
will
be
ready
for
the
press
;
I
desire
therefore
to
know
what
I
may
say
unto
him
.
Monsieur
de
Bethune
is
returned
out
of
Scotland
:
he
gives
south
that
he
came
to
Yarmouth
,
and
there
took
shipping
;
but
I
am
assuredly
informed
that
he
came
to
London
in
disguised
manner
as
a
Scottish-man
,
and
hath
brought
a
packet
from
Monsieur
de
Boissise
.
How
this
proceeding
agreeth
with
the
promise
of
the
Ambassador
there
to
her
Majesty
,
and
with
Monsieur
de
Villeroy's
words
to
me
,
(
whereof
from
Blois
I
advertised
your
honor
)
I
leave
to
your
good
consideration
.
Monsieur
de
Bethune
or
his
packet
hath
brought
the
news
of
my
Lord
of
Essex's
restraynt
,
which
hath
filled
this
court
full
of
discourse
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
is
looked
for
here
very
shortly
,
he
presumes
that
his
presence
will
determine
all
differences
between
him
and
the
King
.
The
King
is
now
come
to
St
.
Germans
.
I
understand
that
the
Master
of
Gray
,
when
he
departed
out
of
this
town
,
went
to
Brussels
,
where
yet
he
continueth
,
and
converseth
much
with
Count
Bothwell
,
between
whom
(
as
it
is
suspected
)
some
secret
practices
are
intended
against
their
King
.
——
It
is
constantly
reported
here
,
(
by
advice
out
of
Italy
)
that
there
is
a
great
revolt
against
the
Turk
in
Anatolia
,
and
that
Mehmed
Pasha
is
slain
,
who
was
sent
thither
to
repress
the
rebellion
.
There
is
a
great
discontentment
grown
in
Genoa
against
the
King
of
Spain
,
by
reason
of
the
purchase
he
hath
made
of
the
Marquisat
of
Final
,
which
borders
near
upon
them
,
and
hath
some
antient
pretensions
upon
Castel
Franco
,
Valle
di
Pia
,
and
some
other
places
;
but
chiefly
they
fear
he
should
go
about
to
make
another
port
in
some
place
belonging
thereunto
,
which
would
be
the
ruine
of
their
town
.
Hereupon
they
have
sent
one
of
the
house
of
Doria
unto
him
,
who
being
returned
without
any
satisfaction
,
they
have
held
a
public
consultation
about
their
affairs
,
and
have
resolved
to
put
in
a
readiness
20
gallies
,
to
be
employed
as
occasion
shall
serve
.
And
so

O

S

SINCE
my
last
letters
,
I
have
had
occasion
to
deal
with
the
Chancellor
and
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
about
the
verifying
of
the
commission
for
marine
causes
in
the
several
courts
of
parliaments
without
which
we
find
by
experience
,
(
in
a
cause
of
one
Alden
recommended
by
my
Lord
Treasurer
unto
me
)
that
the
commission
will
be
to
little
purpose
.
For
the
complayut
being
against
them
of
Crotoy
,
which
is
under
the
jurisdiction
of
the
parliament
of
Paris
,
the
officers
of
this
court
and
jurisdiction
,
refuse
to
obey
any
warrant
made
by
the
commissioners
.
The
Chancellor
at
my
first
proposing
it
to
him
,
thought
it
very
reasonable
it
should
be
verified
in
all
courts
,
and
made
shew
as
if
it
should
have
been
dispatched
presently
.
Since
I
find
him
colder
,
which
I
conceive
to
arife
from
others
.
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
when
he
was
first
moved
of
it
,
began
to
except
to
our
justice
in
England
,
as
if
he
had
had
some
freshe
complaints
:
but
in
the
end
being
urged
upon
the
point
,
he
said
he
thought
sit
there
should
be
two
commissions
established
,
the
one
for
the
admirality
of
France
at
Rouen
,
the
other
for
the
admiralty
of
Guyenne
at
Bordeaux
.
This
for
my
part
I
think
very
unequal
and
inconvenient
for
her
Majesty
and
her
subjects
,
and
so
I
have
signified
,
my
reasons
are
these
.
The
Ambassador
of
France
assured
her
Majesty
there
should
be
but
one
commission
for
these
causes
thorough
all
France
,
and
thereupon
she
hath
established
the
like
for
her
whole
realm
;
the
ancient
presidents
have
ever
been
so
.
It
were
an
excessive
trouble
and
charge
,
and
very
unequal
for
her
Majesty's
subjects
to
travel
to
Bordeaux
for
justice
,
when
no
Frenchman
need
go
further
than
London
.
If
any
difficulty
or
impediment
should
arife
,
or
any
cause
of
complaint
of
the
slacknes
or
partiality
of
the
commissioners
,
her
Majesty's
Ambassador
to
whom
it
appertaynes
to
procure
justice
to
be
done
,
is
so
far
off
,
as
it
would
require
a
great
lengthe
of
time
to
acquaynt
him
and
receive
his
direction
,
as
often
as
shall
be
need
;
and
so
instead
of
abridging
the
length
of
these
suts
,
and
eafing
the
subjects
of
England
,
it
would
rather
lengthen
them
and
burden
them
with
a
new
charge
,
of
sending
up
and
down
to
the
English
ambassadors
.
The
counselors
of
those
courts
of
Bordeaux
and
Toulouse
are
very
stiff
against
those
of
the
religion
,
and
particularly
evil
affected
to
our
nation
,
and
therefore
little
hope
of
good
usage
at
their
hands
.
For
these
reasons
I
have
made
bold
to
signify
that
my
opinion
is
,
her
Majesty
will
not
like
of
it
.
Notwithstanding
this
day
again
having
sent
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
to
solicit
the
dispatch
of
this
matter
,
he
answered
,
that
he
could
say
nothing
till
he
knew
how
her
majestic
would
like
of
that
he
had
proposed
about
the
double
commission
.
It
was
answered
him
,
that
he
might
notwithstanding
cause
this
to
be
verified
in
the
mean
time
in
this
parliament
:
and
though
her
Majesty
should
assent
to
another
commission
for
Guyenne
,
yet
this
commission
as
it
is
might
serve
for
these
parts
,
and
so
we
might
procede
to
do
somewhat
.
Which
were
very
reasonable
and
very
meet
to
be
done
,
seeing
her
Majesty
had
a
full
year
since
established
a
commission
on
her
part
,
which
had
traveled
in
these
causes
with
good
effect
and
contentment
of
the
complainants
,
as
himself
had
acknowledged
unto
me
at
the
counsel
table
here
.
Being
thus
urged
,
he
said
at
length
that
he
would
speak
with
the
King's
procureur
in
it
,
which
was
all
that
could
be
drawn
from
him
.
In
the
mean
time
the
party
that
followeth
the
suit
lies
at
charges
,
and
repynes
much
,
being
affeured
(
as
he
faith
)
before
he
came
over
,
that
he
should
have
justice
with
expedition
.
But
it
seems
they
make
no
great
regard
of
giving
her
Majesty
satisfaction
in
this
,
more
than
in
other
matters
of
nearer
importance
to
her
.
I
thought
it
my
duty
to
inform
your
honor
of
these
unlooked
for
stops
and
traverses
in
a
matter
so
plain
and
just
,
that
by
them
you
may
judge
(
as
you
best
can
)
of
their
General
disposition
.
I
am
sure
they
could
not
be
ignorant
of
this
concurrence
of
the
parliaments
about
their
jurisdiction
:
and
therefore
it
argues
a
meaning
rather
of
dallying
than
of
plain
dealing
,
thus
to
delude
us
with
a
commission
that
they
themselves
knew
would
not
,
and
as
it
seems
meant
should
not
be
executed
in
these
terms
.
My
poor
opinion
is
therefore
,
that
you
be
not
too
forward
in
contenting
them
in
their
demands
,
for
that
will
be
the
way
to
draw
most
reason
from
them
.
I
understand
,
that
a
Priest
which
escaped
this
sommer
from
Rochelle
,
when
alablassen
and
his
fellow
were
apprehended
and
sent
into
England
,
hath
procured
the
Nuncio
to
deal
with
the
King
,
to
write
unto
her
Majesty
in
their
behalf
;
but
that
the
King
refused
it
,
and
hereupon
took
occasion
to
use
some
speech
to
the
Nuncio
,
that
he
marveled
the
Pope
used
no
good
means
to
the
Queen
to
deal
more
favorably
with
the
Catholics
.
The
Nuncio
answered
,
that
he
thought
it
would
not
prevail
coming
from
the
Pope
,
but
rather
irritate
her
.
The
King
said
yes
,
so
as
he
would
assure
her
,
they
should
not
practise
against
her
as
they
had
done
:
and
upon
these
and
the
like
speeches
,
they
concluded
that
the
Nuncio
should
write
to
the
Pope
,
what
the
King's
opinion
and
advice
was
.
It
is
somewhat
noted
,
that
her
Majesty
hath
not
communicated
with
this
King
,
her
success
in
the
pacifying
of
Ireland
,
being
conceived
here
to
be
of
very
great
importance
,
I
hear
that
the
treaty
of
peace
is
broken
off
between
the
Emperor
and
the
Turk
,
and
the
war
is
begun
very
hotly
.
I
hear
also
that
the
Pope
is
about
to
marry
three
of
his
nieces
very
honorably
,
viz
.
One
to
the
Duke
of
Parma
,
another
to
the
Duke
of
Mantua's
son
,
and
a
third
to
the
Duke
of
Modena's
sonne
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
will
be
here
about
the
24th
of
this
month
:
no
doubt
seeing
he
comes
in
person
,
all
things
are
accorded
between
him
and
the
King
.
Yet
the
Chancellor
assured
me
,
they
were
not
yet
accorded
,
*
but
that
be
thought
the
Duke
was
too
wise
to
come
hither
,
but
with
a
resolution
to
give
the
King
satisfaction
.
The
Spanish
Ambassador
is
much
discontented
,
and
gives
out
that
he
will
be
gone
.
I
can
learn
no
cause
,
but
that
he
takes
his
Master
deluded
,
because
they
have
yet
sent
no
Ambassador
to
him
from
hence
;
for
although
monsieur
de
la
Rochepot
be
designed
,
he
makes
no
great
haste
yet
to
be
gone
.
Touching
Monsieur
de
Béthune
,
that
point
of
my
last
advertisement
was
mistaken
,
that
he
gave
out
he
came
by
land
to
Yarmouth
,
and
there
took
shipping
for
France
.
For
the
truth
is
,
(
and
so
he
doth
acknowledge
)
that
he
came
by
sea
to
Yarmouth
,
and
there
landed
,
and
took
horse
.
He
denieth
that
he
came
by
London
,
and
says
he
went
directly
thence
to
Dover
,
but
I
am
assured
he
brought
a
packet
from
Monsieur
de
Boissise
,
and
the
same
day
he
arrived
he
sent
it
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
desiring
to
be
excused
himself
till
the
next
day
,
because
he
was
weary
.
I
am
also
credibly
informed
,
that
the
Saturday
after
his
return
,
he
was
five
howers
with
f
.
154
The
Ambassador
of
Scotland
,
and
lay
all
night
in
his
house
.
A
certain
gentleman
that
hath
often
access
to
6
122
monsieur
Villeroy
,
talking
with
me
of
that
matter
,
said
,
it
was
very
likely
that
if
a
.
100
The
Queen
renewed
friendship
and
alliance
with
c
.
100
The
King
of
Spain
and
c
.
101
The
Archduke
,
that
6
120
the
French
King
would
seek
to
do
the
like
with
m
.
175
Scotland
.
Here
is
great
enquiring
of
me
touching
a
.
121
The
Earl
of
Essex
.
I
answer
according
to
your
honor's
letters
,
but
as
little
as
I
may
.
There
have
been
strange
bruits
raised
here
about
that
matter
,
but
I
suppress
them
all
I
may
.
I
expect
your
honor's
direction
whether
I
shall
deliver
the
money
to
these
Italians
I
wrote
of
,
or
nay
.
For
any
more
for
the
next
year
,
I
can
yet
understand
nothing
,
though
I
solicit
it
as
much
as
I
may
.
So

&
c

Your
honor's
most

HENRY
NEVILLE
.
I
send
herewith
a
letter
which
came
out
of
the
low-countries
from
the
Master
of
Gray
,
who
I
understand
hath
had
very
private
access
with
the
Archduke
and
Infanta
,
and
much
inward
communication
with
Bothwell
,
which
is
not
the
best
interpreted
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
,
13th
Nov
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
Since
my
last
which
I
sent
by
a
merchant
called
Beanois
,
there
hath
been
an
Englishman
with
me
called
Eliot
,
who
hath
served
in
Spain
about
three
years
,
and
came
down
now
in
the
galleys
with
Spinola
.
This
man
,
partly
upon
sorrow
(
as
he
pretends
)
for
his
offense
towards
her
Majesty
,
but
chiefly
as
I
conceive
upon
discontentment
against
the
Spaniards
for
their
bad
usage
of
him
,
hath
entered
into
cogitation
,
how
he
might
with
some
notable
piece
of
service
cancel
his
former
fault
and
purchase
his
pardon
,
and
likewise
be
revenged
upon
them
.
And
for
that
purpose
he
hath
entered
into
practice
with
a
Spaniard
born
in
the
Indies
,
whose
grandfather
and
father
were
of
the
first
conquerors
of
Peru
and
el
nuevo
reino
de
Granada
,
whom
he
found
likewise
much
discontented
for
some
private
grievances
of
his
own
,
and
for
the
execution
of
some
of
his
parents
about
a
yeere
since
in
the
indies
.
This
Spaniard
,
as
he
says
,
will
deliver
unto
her
Majesty
the
means
to
possesse
her
of
the
havana
,
and
will
undertake
to
perform
it
with
2000
men
upon
the
perill
of
his
life
.
What
these
means
are
,
himself
will
relate
if
the
offer
be
embraced
,
and
will
for
that
purpose
come
into
England
with
this
Eliot
,
if
it
please
her
Majesty
.
He
is
now
with
Spinola
and
very
inward
with
him
,
and
privy
to
his
chief
designs
;
so
as
he
will
be
able
also
do
do
her
Majesty
service
in
the
discovery
thereof
.
His
demands
are
for
the
present
about
150
or
200
crowns
,
to
discharge
some
debts
he
hath
made
,
and
to
furnish
him
for
his
journey
,
which
he
will
pretend
to
be
into
Spain
to
facilitate
his
leave
to
come
away
,
and
so
first
repair
hither
,
and
hence
into
England
.
He
demands
also
some
maintenance
till
the
action
be
embraced
,
and
such
recompence
,
as
her
Majesty
shall
think
him
worthy
of
when
it
is
performed
.
For
Eliot
who
is
the
worker
of
it
,
he
requires
only
his
pardon
and
protection
from
arrest
for
a
time
,
and
to
be
employed
in
the
action
if
it
proceed
.
Eliot
pretends
both
to
have
drawn
this
Spaniard
into
these
parts
,
and
himself
to
have
likewise
come
down
with
Spinola
only
for
this
purpose
,
and
to
have
sold
such
things
as
he
hath
to
furnish
both
the
other
and
himself
.
Therefore
finding
him
in
some
want
,
I
have
ventured
a
few
crowns
with
him
to
entertain
him
till
I
heard
from
your
honor
whether
you
will
give
any
ear
to
the
overture
or
nay
,
which
I
desire
to
be
with
as
much
speed
as
conveniently
you
may
.
I
send
you
herewith
a
copy
of
the
Pope's
bull
,
for
the
authorizing
of
an
Arch-Priest
in
England
among
the
papists
.
It
seems
they
are
grown
very
confident
of
settling
there
,
seeing
they
begin
to
establish
an
order
of
government
amongst
them
;
assuredly
there
number
and
hope
groweth
daily
.
Touching
Bennet

d

The
Duke
of
Bouillon
who
promised
me
instructions
for
his
examinations
,
hath
given
me
the
slipp
and
is
gone
to
q

Dus
lb
sedan
,
whence
he
will
not
return
this
month
.
Therefore
seeing
they
be
here
so
negligent
,
(
whom
it
chiefly
concernes
)
your
honor
in
my
poor
opinion
shall
not
need
to
be
more
careful
in
it
.
I
understand
that
6
120
the
French
King
is
much
troubled
about
your
w

200
Treaty
of
peace
.
Monsieur
de
La
Noue
is
come
home
out
of
the
low-countries
,
and
it
is

he
is
to
make

The
Protestants
are
mightily
discontented
,
and
hardly
kept
from
breaking
out
.
Themselves
think
it
cannot
long
continue
;
especially
seeing
the
Jesuits
are
to
be
restored
,
and
6
120
the
King
daily
more
and
more
given
over
to

The
papists
.
I
can
yet
obtayne
no
dispatch
for
the
verifying
of
the
commission
,
and
now
monsieur
de
Villeroy
is
gone
to
his
house
to
solemnize
the
anniversary
obit
for
his
father's
death
,
and
hath
put
me
off
till
his
return
,
though
I
have
solicited
the
Chancellor
and
him
in
it
almost
this
month
.
Your
honor
may
do
well
in
my
poor
judgment
,
to
fuspend
the
proceeding
of
our
commissioners
for
those
causes
,
till
you
see
them
here
in
some
more
forwardness
to
yield
her
Majesty
her
due
respect
,
whereof
I
can
hitherto
give
them
but
little
testimony
.
For
my
self
also
,
and
that
which
concernes
my
particular
,
I
assure
your
honor
I
find
as
little
favor
.
I
moved
monsieur
de
Villeroy
almost
three
weeks
since
for
a
discharge
from
impositions
in
such
provisions
as
I
make
for
my
house
,
which
hath
been
ordinary
to
all
former
ambassadors
,
but
yet
I
cannot
obtayne
it
;
he
doth
not
deny
it
,
but
says
still
he
forgot
it
.
Not
long
since
the
lientenant
civil
came
to
me
,
to
give
me
knowledge
that
the
people
murmured
that
I
had
a
sermon
in
my
house
,
and
that
some
foreigners
resorted
unto
it
,
and
would
needs
insinuate
some
danger
of
mutiny
that
might
grow
thereby
in
the
end
,
and
therefore
advised
me
to
prevent
it
.
I
asked
him
if
he
had
any
commission
from
the
King
or
his
council
to
say
any
thing
unto
me
on
the
matter
;
he
said
no
,
but
that
he
spoke
it
out
of
good
will
,
and
a
desire
to
prevent
any
inconvenience
that
might
happen
.
I
told
him
,
I
did
nothing
but
that
which
was
warranted
by
the
liberty
and
privilege
of
my
place
,
which
had
been
always
enjoyed
by
former
English
ambassadors
here
,
and
the
like
by
the
French
ambassadors
in
England
,
and
that
I
would
not
dishonor
my
place
,
nor
quit
any
privilege
belonging
to
it
.
If
the
King
commanded
me
to
surcease
,
I
knew
what
I
had
to
do
:
but
otherwise
I
purposed
to
continue
as
I
had
done
,
which
was
nothing
,
but
that
which
my
self
in
myne
own
experience
had
known
former
ambassadors
to
do
.
And
as
for
the
people
,
I
would
not
subject
myself
to
their
passions
,
but
loked
to
be
protected
by
the
King
as
belonged
to
my
place
,
and
as
he
would
look
that
his
Ambassador
should
be
in
England
,
where
his
mass
was
as
distasteful
to
the
people
there
,
as
my
sermon
was
here
.
Since
I
have
heard
no
more
of
him
.
There
be
many
things
that
I
have
heretofore
written
of
,
wherein
I
expect
your
honor's
direction
,
especially
about
the
delivery
of
this
money
I
have
in
my
hands
,
the
demand
of
more
for
the
next
yeere
,
or
at
least
new
assignations
in
place
of
them
,
which
they
answer
were
engaged
to
others
before
they
were
assigned
to
her
Majesty
,
and
the
reviving
of
the
treaty
of
Blois
.
And
so
,

c
.
Your
honor's
very
,

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
15th
Nov
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
A
bout
a
month
since
I
had
secret
intelligence
given
me
,
that
the
drapers
of
this
town
,
Orleans
,
Tours
,
and
other
cities
,
went
about
to
renew
the
attempt
which
was
made
the
last
winter
,
for
the
banishing
of
our
clothes
,
and
all
manufactures
of
wool
.
Whereupon
I
went
to
the
Chancellor
,
shewing
him
what
intelligence
I
had
received
,
and
praying
that
if
any
such
thing
were
proposed
to
the
council
,
I
might
be
heard
for
the
interest
of
the
Queen
my
Mistress
,
hoping
I
should
be
able
to
shew
sufficient
reasons
,
why
it
could
neither
be
honorable
nor
profitable
for
the
King
and
his
realm
,
to
make
any
such
prohibition
.
The
Chancellor
answered
,
that
to
his
knowledge
there
was
no
such
thing
proposed
yet
in
council
;
and
if
it
should
be
,
he
assured
me
I
should
be
made
acquaynted
with
it
,
and
heard
in
any
thing
I
would
propose
;
and
should
always
find
,
that
the
King
and
his
ministers
would
have
a
due
regard
of
the
Queen
my
Mistress
,
and
of
the
amity
and
entercours
between
their
realm
and
subjects
.
Notwithstanding
,
I
am
now
again
freshly
advertised
,
that
it
is
very
hotly
laboured
,
and
favoured
by
some
persons
that
have
credit
with
the
King
.
I
mean
to
deal
with
all
the
chief
of
the
council
about
it
out
of
hand
;
and
with
the
King
himself
as
soon
as
he
returns
from
Monceaux
,
which
will
be
within
these
five
days
.
In
the
mean
time
I
thought
it
not
amiss
to
give
your
honor
to
understand
of
it
,
and
to
desire
to
be
directed
how
I
shall
carry
my
self
in
my
opposition
to
it
,
if
I
find
that
it
be
likely
to
pass
.
It
were
good
in
my
poor
opinion
,
that
the
Ambassador
there
might
understand
,
(
by
speeches
given
out
underhand
)
that
if
it
proceede
,
the
Queen
will
revoke
her
subjects
from
trading
in
these
parts
,
or
at
least
forbidd
the
bringing
in
of
any
French
commodities
into
England
,
which
is
a
thing
they
will
never
endure
.
This
morning
before
he
took
his
journey
,
the
King
gave
audience
to
the
Ambassador
of
Savoy
,
who
came
to
advertise
him
,
that
for
some
occasions
the
Duke
had
put
off
his
journey
for
fifteen
days
.
He
intends
to
come
with
a
great
trayne
as
I
understand
,
and
for
that
purpose
hath
given
ordre
to
all
the
principal
gentlemen
of
Savoy
to
put
themselves
in
a
readiness
to
attend
him
.
The
discontentment
in
the
Low-Countries
on
the
Archduke's
side
is
said
to
be
accommodated
,
and
that
the
country
is
contented
the
Spaniards
shall
remain
there
one
year
,
to
see
if
a
peace
may
be
concluded
in
the
mean
time
.
Our
English
fugitives
are
all
turned
over
into
Spain
for
their
pensions
,
and
dismissed
only
with
some
three
month's
pay
to
a
man
,
instead
of
all
arrearages
due
unto
them
.
I
call
upon
the
verifying
of
the
commission
every
day
,
but
they
make
little
the
more
haste
for
any
thing
I
see
.
The
King's
procureur
would
fain
have
the
commission
established
at
Paris
;
but
it
were
to
lose
much
time
,
in
the
nominating
and
allowing
of
new
commissioners
:
and
I
have
a
very
good
conceit
of
the
first
president
of
Rouen
that
he
is
very
well
disposed
to
do
us
justice
,
being
both
a
very
honest
and
a
wise
man
,
And
not
many
of
better
reputation
in
all
France
of
his
coat
.
And
for
my
assistance
,
I
am
not
so
far
off
,
but
I
shall
be
able
to
afford
it
them
well
enough
.
I
wrote
unto
your
honor
so
lately
by
my
Secretary
,
(
to
whom
I
gave
also
in
charge
to
deliver
some
things
by
mouth
,)
that
I
have
not
much
more
to
trouble
you
with
now
.
And
therefore
humbly
beseeching
the
continuance
of
your
favor
towards
me
,
whereupon
I
do
only
depend
,
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honors
very

Right
honorable

Paris
19th
Nov
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
Upon
the
receipt
of
your
letters
of
the
28th
of
October
,
I
sent
for
Magdalena
to
treat
with
him
about
the
making
over
of
the
money
,
wherein
I
found
him
dearer
than
the
other
Italians
I
had
before
spoken
with
,
for
he
made
difficulty
of
receaving
it
,
without
allowance
of
two-pence
upon
every
French
crown
for
the
exchange
;
but
in
the
end
we
concluded
for
three-halfe-pence
upon
the
crown
,
and
so
I
have
delivered
him
seventeen
thousand
and
twenty
crowns
,
for
which
he
is
to
pay
five
thousand
pound
sterling
in
this
sort
,
viz
.
Three
thousand
pound
within
twenty
days
after
the
sight
of
his
bill
,
and
the
two
thousand
within
fifty
days
after
sight
,
which
is
a
month
after
the
first
.
Spedier
payment
I
could
not
get
at
his
hands
,
so
I
have
sent
your
honor
his
first
bills
here
enclosed
,
reserving
the
second
for
more
surety
till
another
time
.
Because
I
found
that
by
the
bond
the
money
was
to
have
been
paid
to
the
Lord
Treasurer
,
and
I
have
received
no
other
direction
,
I
caused
the
bills
to
be
made
in
the
same
sort
.
For
the
other
two
thousand
nyne
hundred
and
fourscore
crowns
,
I
detained
two
thousand
crowns
with
your
honor's
liking
,
which
is
payed
I
hope
ere
this
time
.
And
I
have
made
bold
to
detain
the
other
980
crowns
now
,
and
have
given
order
for
the
payment
of
it
,
at
the
time
that
corfani
payeth
in
his
second
sum
,
which
I
hope
will
be
all
one
to
her
Majesty
,
and
will
save
her
20
nobles
loss
in
the
making
over
,
and
me
as
much
in
the
return
;
wherefore
I
hope
her
Majesty
will
not
disallow
of
my
doing
in
it
.
When
this
is
all
discharged
,
because
I
take
it
that
I
stand
accountable
for
this
money
,
and
subject
to
the
last
statute
,
I
beseech
your
honor
to
favor
my
poor
estate
so
much
,
as
I
may
receive
a
sufficient
discharge
for
it
.
Wherin
,
as
in
my
former
requests
of
like
favor
,
I
humbly
pray
you
not
to
conceive
me
to
have
either
so
little
good
manners
or
discretion
,
as
to
desire
your
honor's
further
trouble
than
your
good
word
and
recommendation
to
my
Lord
Treasurer
by
whose
order
it
must
be
done
,
and
to
whom
I
will
use
(
as
I
have
done
)
all
means
to
procure
it
;
having
for
that
purpose
,
before
my
coming
over
,
authorized
one
under
my
hand
and
seale
to
demand
and
receive
my
intertaynement
and
other
allowances
,
and
to
solicit
the
dispatch
of
my
business
there
.
I
wrote
unto
your
honor
in
my
last
by
Mr
.
Lock
,
that
I
understood
the
drapers
went
about
to
procure
a
prohibition
of
bringing
into
this
realm
any
clothes
or
manufactures
of
wooll
;
I
was
since
with
monsieur
de
Villeroy
about
it
,
who
confessed
that
such
a
matter
had
been
offred
to
the
council
,
but
in
no
liklehood
or
forwardnefs
to
be
accepted
.
I
prayed
him
to
consider
,
how
contrary
it
would
be
to
that
promise
and
offer
which
the
King
himself
,
and
he
in
the
King's
name
had
so
often
made
me
,
not
only
to
continue
all
former
treaties
made
with
her
Majesty
,
but
to
make
the
bonds
of
amity
straighter
if
need
were
;
whereas
this
debarring
of
our
traffic
,
were
rather
to
cutt
off
the
roots
and
foundation
of
all
true
friendship
.
He
bidd
me
assure
my
self
,
that
before
any
thing
should
be
concluded
in
it
to
the
prejudice
of
the
Queen
or
her
subjects
,
I
should
be
called
to
it
,
and
heard
as
I
desired
at
full
;
but
his
opinion
was
,
it
should
never
come
so
far
.
This
speech
ended
,
I
moved
him
about
the
Captain
which
was
stayed
at
Tréport
by
Mr
.
Honniman's
procurement
,
that
he
might
receive
some
punishment
for
example
;
and
likewise
in
generality
,
touching
those
which
served
the
enemies
against
us
,
both
as
captains
,
soldiers
,
and
pilots
,
that
they
might
be
revoked
by
some
public
proclamation
,
and
all
other
forbidden
to
take
any
such
course
hereafter
.
For
the
Captain
he
answered
,
that
the
King
had
written
to
do
justice
upon
him
if
he
were
found
faulty
;
but
no
particular
proof
coming
against
him
,
he
was
set
at
liberty
upon
bonds
not
to
depart
the
realm
without
licence
:
and
he
said
that
he
marveled
there
had
nothing
been
spoken
to
Ambassador
about
it
.
For
the
public
proclamation
he
did
absolutely
refuse
it
,
but
said
,
if
any
of
them
came
back
into
France
,
upon
complaint
and
proof
made
against
them
,
they
should
be
punished
.
We
debated
the
point
a
little
,
I
shewing
how
much
more
the
King
was
tied
to
her
Majesty
than
to
the
Spaniard
,
by
reason
that
he
had
with
her
an
alliance
defensive
,
and
with
him
but
peace
only
;
and
yet
at
his
instance
he
had
been
contented
to
revoke
Monsieur
de
La
Noue
and
his
troops
from
the
States
'
service
,
and
therefore
he
had
no
reason
to
refuse
the
like
to
her
Majesty
.
But
he
persisted
still
in
his
former
refusal
,
saying
,
that
they
would
perform
what
was
spoken
,
but
after
their
own
fashion
,
not
after
our
.
We
spoke
also
of
the
matter
of
the
prize
taken
by
those
of
Marseilles
,
wherein
he
said
they
had
already
sent
the
King's
answer
unto
their
Ambassador
,
agreeable
as
it
seems
with
that
I
wrote
by
Symons
.
Lastly
,
I
put
him
again
in
mind
of
the
King's
promise
of
money
this
next
yeere
,
and
prayed
that
her
Majesty
might
understand
what
she
might
assuredly
trust
to
,
being
a
matter
whereupon
some
of
her
resolutions
might
happily
depend
.
He
said
he
medled
not
with
the
King's
finances
,
and
could
give
me
no
answer
in
that
matter
;
but
when
the
King
commanded
him
to
make
any
answer
,
he
would
either
impart
it
to
me
,
or
to
their
own
Ambassador
to
relate
.
Thus
your
honor
sees
how
little
contentment
I
can
receive
in
any
thing
I
propose
.
I
am
sorry
I
am
so
unprofitable
to
her
Majesty
here
;
but
my
hope
and
humble
suit
is
,
that
she
might
not
impute
the
blame
to
want
of
zeale
or
diligence
in
me
,
but
consider
I
am
come
hither
in
a
time
when
the
King
hath
no
more
need
of
her
,
as
he
hath
had
,
and
is
besides
governed
by
those
which
are
not
the
best
affected
to
her
.
The
conclusion
of
the
King's
long
desired
divorce
will
not
be
long
deferred
,
for
those
which
were
sent
to
the
Queen
about
it
,
are
returned
fully
satisfied
in
those
points
they
required
of
her
.
*
The
nullity
is
grounded
upon
these
three
points
:
that
they
were
too
near
of
kin
,
being
in
the
third
degree
:
that
the
Queen's
father
Henry
ii
.
Was
godfather
unto
the
King
,
which
is
spiritual
alliance
;
and
that
she
was
enforced
to
the
match
by
her
mother
.
For
the
first
there
was
a
dispensation
from
the
Pope
,
but
not
sufficient
in
some
point
of
formality
as
they
say
;
for
the
second
there
was
no
dispensation
at
all
;
the
third
was
not
known
till
now
.
This
may
serve
the
King's
turn
for
the
present
,
but
God
knows
what
the
consequence
of
it
may
be
hereafter
.
The
speech
of
the
match
with
Florence
groweth
every
day
colder
as
the
King's
affection
to
mademoiselle
d'entragues
groweth
warmer
,
who
is
now
openly
shewed
as
his
Mistress
in
all
meetings
;
and
they
are
contented
to
give
out
speeches
out
of
her
house
,
that
she
is
with
child
,
which
if
it
prove
true
,
your
honor
knows
what
I
have
written
heretofore
,
which
I
verily
believe
will
follow
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
sets
south
from
Turin
either
this
day
or
upon
Monday
.
I
understand
there
are
some
deputies
expected
here
from
the
states
very
shortly
.
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
told
me
he
understood
there
were
some
to
go
thence
into
England
,
but
of
any
to
come
hither
he
would
not
be
acknowledged
.
I
beseech
You
remember
what
I
have
written
of
that
point
heretofore
.
There
is
a
bruit
that
the
Spanish
navy
is
returned
to
Lisbon
;
but
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
either
could
not
,
or
would
not
deliver
me
any
certainty
of
it
.
In
Italy
there
hath
been
some
little
stirring
about
the
Marquisat
del
finale
,
during
the
Marquis
sickness
;
the
Spaniards
preparing
to
seize
upon
it
after
his
death
,
by
virtue
of
the
purchase
;
and
the
imperials
who
have
certain
garrisons
there
,
reinforcing
themselves
to
prevent
it
,
pretending
it
is
to
devolve
to
the
empire
after
his
death
;
but
his
recovery
hath
ended
the
controversy
for
the
present
.
There
hath
been
one
of
the
grimaldi's
here
with
the
King
from
them
of
Genoa
,
his
pretext
was
,
to
demand
recompence
of
some
good
offices
done
by
himself
to
the
King
in
the
time
of
the
league
;
but
they
which
observe
the
King's
carriage
towards
such
suitors
;
note
,
that
be
should
not
have
been
so
well
received
,
if
be
had
had
no
other
errand
.
The
party
by
whom
I
had
the
advertisement
sent
by
my
Secretary
,
offers
if
it
please
her
Majesty
to
go
to
x
.
Ihaw
Rome
in
the
company
of
z
.
Cotduy.Bemsertw
the
Patriarch
,
and
remain
there
as
long
as
shall
be
thought
meet
,
with
such
allowance
as
may
reasonably
maintain
him
;
I
desire
your
honor's
answer
in
it
.
Instead
of
Monsieur
de
Rambouillet
who
was
first
nominated
to
be
governor
to
the
young
Prince
of
Condé
,
the
King
hath
now
appointed
Monsieur
de
Belin
,
who
was
governor
of
this
town
for
the
league
,
and
afterwards
rendered
Ardres
to
the
Spaniards
,
for
which
he
should
have
lost
his
head
,
which
makes
many
marvel
that
he
is
prefered
to
such
a
charge
.
As
I
was
writing
hereof
,
there
was
advertisement
brought
me
that
the
deputies
from
the
states
were
arrived
at
Calais
,
with
commission
to
treat
with
this
King
about
their
protection
,
which
undoubtedly
be
will
accept
,
to
get
some
entry
and
footing
among
ft
them
.
The
Archduke
fearing
it
above
all
things
,
hath
sent
a
principal
man
in
trust
with
him
to
Calais
to
meet
with
the
deputies
,
and
to
offer
them
almost
la
carte
blanche
,
that
they
will
not
proceed
in
heretofore
written
of
the
design
of
the
French
upon
this
peace
;
if
it
be
not
very
warily
dealt
in
,
I
fear
undoubtedly
it
will
come
to
pass
as
I
have
signified
,
and
then
I
doubt
our
latter
end
will
be
worse
than
our
beginning
,
and
that
ia
weakening
one
enemy
we
shall
set
up
another
more
dangerous
.
Your
honor
remembers
that
they
never
put
themselves
into
the
protection
of
England
till
both
*
monsieur
had
discovered
his
purpose
to
betray
them
,
and
the
last
French
King
had
refused
them
,
when
they
offered
to
give
themselves
unto
him
;
such
an
inclination
they
have
had
ever
this
way
.
This
King
,
whatsoever
his
meaning
is
,
hath
been
very
careful
of
late
to
furnish
himself
of
ordinance
,
and
hath
taken
order
for
the
casting
of
50
or
60
pieces
here
in
the
arsenal
,
whereof
30
are
already
cast
and
tried
;
he
hath
also
appointed
great
store
of
armes
to
be
bought
in
sundry
towns
as
I
am
informed
,
wherein
he
may
happily
have
a
double
end
,
to
furnish
himself
for
all
occasions
,
and
to
disfurnish
the
towns
.
I
send
this
Messenger
in
some
speed
,
as
well
that
you
may
receive
the
bills
of
exchange
the
sooner
,
as
also
to
give
you
knowledge
of
those
matters
which
are
here
a
working
.
And
so
till
farther
occasion
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
most
,
&

S

I
have
stayed
my
packet
one
day
after
it
was
ready
,
upon
an
advertisement
I
received
from
my
Secretary
,
that
he
had
met
at
Dieppe
with
r
.
165
The
states
Agent
returning
out
of
the
low
countries
,
and
that
he
had
some
speech
with
him
which
seems
not
to
agree
with
that
I
have
advertised
,
as
namely
to
this
effect
,
that
a
.
120
The
states
should
have
a
disposition
to
join
with
a
.
100
The
Queen
x
.
Rf
in
w
.
200
The
treaty
,
which
I
was
willing
to
discover
somewhat
more
of
before
I
sent
away
my
dispatch
.
For
the
arrival
of
the
z
.
Ptdaemifcb
I.Rskz
ma
deputies
to
Calais
,
I
cannot
learn
any
certainty
of
it
;
but
it
is
confirmed
unto
me
that
there
are
some
to
come
,
and
that
c
.
101
The
Archduke
hath
sent
one
thither
to
meet
them
as
I
wrote
.
G
.
142
The
Spanish
Ambassador
hath
confessed
that
he
hath
had
advertisement
to
that
effect
from
c
.
101
The
Archduke
,
and
hath
offered
by
a
third
person
whom
he
sent
unto
me
to
meet
with
me
secretly
,
and
to
confer
of
the
means
to
prevent
it
,
supposing
be
like
her
Majesty
would
not
be
well
content
with
it
.
I
put
it
off
upon
pretext
that
I
did
not
believe
there
was
any
such
thing
;
but
in
deed
I
durst
not
venture
to
do
it
without
warrant
,
not
knowing
how
it
would
be
taken
.
But
if
it
please
her
Majesty
to
give
me
commission
to
meet
him
upon
any
such
like
overture
hereafter
,
I
hope
her
service
shall
receive
no
prejudice
by
it
.
The
party
that
came
unto
me
upon
the
message
was
w
.
209
Charles
Paget
.
I
am
no
way
prone
to
believe
that
which
r
.
165
The
States
Agent
said
unto
my
Secretary
,
for
if
a
.
120
The
States
make
u
.
206
Peace
,
I
see
no
use
for
him
here
longer
than
till
w
.
200
The
treaty
be
finished
,
and
for
so
small
a
time
as
that
is
like
to
be
,
I
think
he
would
not
have
removed
his
q
.
Btmulbs
x
unarcrw
wise
and
familie
hither
,
as
he
hath
done
at
this
instant
:
therefore
I
rather
think
it
a
disguising
:
but
of
this
your
honor
may
be
perfectly
informed
from
those
parts
.
In
the
mean
time
I
hold
it
my
duty
not
to
neglect
the
advertisement
I
received
,
but
to
acquaint
your
honor
with
it
,
especially
seeing
g
.
142
The
Spanish
Ambassador
takes
the
alarm
likewise
of
it
.
And
so
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's

&

Sir

Right

Paris
29th
Nov

1599
.
O.S
.
Understanding
of
this
bearer
,
Romain's
return
,
I
was
willing
to
take
the
opportunity
as
likewise
any
other
that
shall
be
offered
to
add
somewhat
to
my
former
advertisements
;
though
much
it
cannot
be
at
this
time
,
both
by
reason
of
my
late
writing
,
and
of
an
indisposition
and
infirmity
befallen
me
in
my
hearing
,
which
hath
forced
me
into
a
course
of
physic
for
these
five
or
six
days
past
,
though
with
little
profit
hitherto
.
The
substance
of
that
I
have
learned
since
my
last
is
this
,
r
.
165
The
states
Agent
is
come
to
this
town
with
his
wife
lately
married
and
her
mother
,
he
hath
not
yet
been
with
me
though
I
sent
to
visit
him
the
next
day
after
his
return
,
and
received
word
from
him
,
that
he
would
have
seen
me
the
morrow
after
:
which
I
note
,
because
it
differs
from
the
former
course
he
was
wont
to
hold
with
me
before
his
going
into
those
parts
.
His
common
speech
is
sutable
to
that
he
delivered
to
my
Secretary
for
his
Master's
resolution
;
but
the
contrary
is
assured
me
:
and
this
that
he
delivers
is
supposed
to
be
done
but
to
endear
his
merchandise
here
,
where
it
will
not
be
refused
at
any
price
.
Your
honor
I
hope
remembers
what
speech
I
wrote
La
Fontaine
used
to
me
of
that
matter
before
my
coming
over
,
and
will
compare
that
with
the
present
jealousies
and
your
other
advertisements
,
and
thereupon
conclude
(
as
you
best
can
)
what
is
like
to
be
the
sequele
.
I
am
informed
by
such
as
saw
Monsieur
de
Bethune's
instructions
,
that
there
was
nothing
contained
in
them
any
way
prejudicial
to
her
Majesty
,
but
only
a
commission
to
do
compliment
to
that
King
,
which
had
been
long
omitted
,
and
to
offer
the
confirmation
unto
that
nation
of
the
exemption
from
the
aubeine
,
and
some
other
priviledges
about
their
service
in
the
gard
which
they
have
long
enjoyed
.
But
of
any
league
,
treaty
,
or
alliance
to
be
made
,
or
renewed
between
the
two
kings
,
there
was
not
a
word
:
particularly
he
was
directed
to
advise
that
King
,
to
hold
all
good
respect
and
amity
with
her
Majesty
.
But
withal
I
learn
,
that
whether
by
direction
verball
,
or
otherwise
of
his
own
mind
,
he
recommended
very
affectionately
unto
that
King
the
cause
of
the
Catholics
,
and
the
liberty
of
religion
,
which
they
labor
for
making
known
that
it
would
be
acceptable
here
.
Your
honor
will
add
this
to
that
I
have
heretofore
advertised
.

The
Ambassador
of
Scotland
maketh
very
fair
weather
to
me
,
and
seems
willing
enough
to
communicate
any
thing
he
knows
with
me
;
but
surely
he
doth
much
harm
among
those
of
his
nation
here
,
laboring
by
all
means
to
seduce
them
in
religion
;
which
he
hath
effected
with
sundry
young
noblemen
and
gentlemen
,
as
namely
the
Earl
of
Sutherland
,
the
Master
of
Paisley
son
to
the
Lord
Claude
Hamilton
,
and
sundry
others
,
who
are
returned
into
Scotland
resolute
Catholics
,
whereas
they
came
out
good
protestants
.
The
Lord
Hume
also
since
his
coming
hither
goeth
openly
to
Mass
,
and
now
they
labor
to
seduce
the
young
Lord
Oliphant
,
son-in-law
to
the
Lord
Hume
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
will
be
at
Orleans
upon
Saturday
next
,
and
comes
to
Fontainebleau
upon
Monday
;
whither
the
King
removes
upon
Friday
next
to
receive
him
,
if
he
be
well
;
but
for
these
two
days
he
hath
been
evil
at
ease
by
reason
of
some
surfeit
he
took
upon
Monday
,
for
which
he
hath
this
day
taken
physic
.
Yesterday
Monsieur
de
La
Trémouille
was
admitted
in
the
parliament
pair
of
France
.
This
day
r
.
162
The
Chancellor
sent
his
secretary
to
visit
me
,
and
communicated
unto
me
an
advertisement
which
he
understood
came
lately
out
of
Spain
,
that
the
King
hath
raised
a
new
imposition
upon
the
salt
and
some
other
commodities
in
his
kingdom
,
which
will
amount
by
estimation
unto
six
or
seven
millions
:
that
he
intends
to
levy
thirty
thousand
foot
,
whereof
tenn
thousand
in
Italy
by
Don
Pietro
de
'
Medici
,
whom
he
sends
thither
for
that
purpose
,
and
some
six
thousand
horse
:
that
of
these
he
intends
to
leave
a
good
number
upon
the
frontiers
towards
France
to
assure
his
country
:
that
with
the
rest
he
means
to
go
in
person
to
Lisbon
where
his
whole
navy
is
,
the
Adelantado
being
for
certain
returned
thither
:
that
he
makes
an
arrest
of
all
ships
,
and
means
to
make
a
fleete
of
one
hundred
and
fifty
sayle
wherein
he
intends
to
embark
himself
,
as
he
yet
gives
out
:
that
he
hath
likewise
commanded
D'Oria
to
bring
thither
all
the
galleys
he
can
make
.
Of
this
since
I
received
the
advertisement
,
I
have
sought
to
learn
what
I
might
from
some
of
this
council
,
but
I
can
hear
no
confirmation
:
notwithstanding
coming
from
so
good
a
hand
,
I
would
not
utterly
contemn
it
,
but
thought
good
to
send
it
as
I
had
received
it
,
together
with
my
author
.
I
will
be
careful
to
sift
it
as
I
may
.
I
have
at
length
received
your
honor's
letter
sent
by
the
frencheman
:
be
fell
sick
by
the
way
as
he
saith
,
which
made
him
to
be
so
long
ere
he
delivered
it
.
I
received
the
duplicate
of
it
before
by
Mussy
,
and
have
returned
answer
unto
him
already
.
And
therefore
I
do
hear
for
this
time
most
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
very
,
&
c

HENRY

Sir
Henry
Neville

Mr

Secretary
Cecyll

Right
honorable

Paris
,
1st
Dec
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
Since
my
last
unto
you
sent
by
Romain
,
there
came
an
Englishman
hither
from
Brest
,
to
advertise
me
,
that
two
English
barks
,
the
one
of
Dartmouth
,
the
other
of
Plymouth
,
coming
from
Rochelle
,
were
taken
by
two
Spanish
men
of
war
which
were
going
to
Brest
to
fetch
away
certain
Spaniards
which
remained
there
;
and
that
the
Spaniards
after
they
had
taken
them
,
carried
them
with
them
to
Brest
,
where
upon
the
suit
of
some
English
merchants
,
the
Lieutenant
and
council
of
the
town
,
in
the
absence
of
monsieur
de
Sourdiac
,
stayed
both
the
prizes
and
the
men
taken
in
them
,
until
the
King's
pleasure
were
known
,
for
which
purpose
they
sent
a
Messenger
pourpofely
unto
the
court
.
Upon
this
advertisement
I
sent
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
and
other
of
the
council
about
it
,
(
being
my
self
in
physic
,
and
not
in
case
to
go
out
of
my
house
,)
to
pray
them
to
move
the
King
in
it
;
who
presently
gave
order
that
the
men
should
be
set
at
liberty
,
and
that
both
the
barks
and
goods
should
be
restored
unto
them
.
Whereof
I
thought
sit
to
give
your
honor
speedy
advertisement
,
that
her
Majesty
or
your
honor
may
if
it
please
you
take
knowledge
of
it
unto
the
French
Ambassador
there
;
for
I
perceive
they
think
they
have
done
her
Majesty
a
great
kindness
in
it
,
and
more
than
they
were
bound
to
do
,
and
perhaps
will
look
it
should
be
acknowledged
by
her
.
The
King
is
this
day
gone
to
Fontainebleau
to
receive
the
D
.
of
Savoy
,
who
comes
thither
upon
Monday
;
he
would
gladly
,
if
he
could
patche
up
an
accord
with
the
King
,
to
yeeld
up
the
propriety
of
the
Marquisat
,
but
to
retain
the
perpetual
government
of
it
for
one
of
his
sons
,
as
the
Duke
of
Lorraine
did
of
Toul
and
Verdun
:
he
hath
also
somewhat
in
his
fancy
(
as
I
hear
)
about
the
duchy
of
Milan
.
R
.
165
The
stater
Agent
hath
been
this
day
with
me
,
and
telleth
me
if
6
120
the
French
King
do
not
give
them
good
assurance
of
assistance
,
his
masters
mean
to
treat
,
and
that
in
treating
they
will
choose
to
do
it
rather
severally
than
jointly
;
6
120
the
King
deferreth
his
resolution
,
till
the
matter
of
the
Marquisat
be
accommodated
.
I
think
to
renew
my
former
correspondence
with
him
,
and
therefore
desire
your
honor's
direction
how
I
shall
comport
my
self
towards
him
,
and
within
what
compas
of
speech
I
shall
keep
my
self
.
I
can
yet
learn
none
confirmation
from
any
hand
,
of
the
advertisement
I
received
from
r
.
162
The
Chancellor
,
which
I
communicated
in
my
last
;
only
I
hear
it
avowed
,
that
the
Adelantado
is
returned
to
Lisbon
with
his
fleet
much
weather
beaten
.
Before
my
coming
over
your
honor
willed
me
to
endeavor
to
settle
some
intelligence
for
you
,
with
some
one
of
the
Ambassador's
companye
,
that
went
hence
into
Spain
.
There
is
now
offred
me
a
very
good
opportunity
to
do
it
if
you
please
,
for
there
is
an
ancient
acquaintance
of
mine
that
upon
my
motion
will
pourpofely
put
himself
into
his
service
,
and
hath
promised
to
perform
carefully
that
I
require
of
him
.
He
hath
been
a
traveler
in
Italy
,
Germany
,
and
England
,
and
a
soldier
;
so
that
I
hold
him
very
able
for
that
purpose
.
There
remain
therefore
to
be
known
whether
your
former
desire
continue
;
and
if
yea
,
what
entertainement
you
will
think
him
worthy
of
,
and
what
instructions
you
will
give
him
,
and
what
addresse
for
the
convayance
of
his
letters
:
this
must
be
determined
without
bis
coming
thither
,
and
with
some
reasonable
speed
,
for
he
must
take
his
journey
soon
after
the
hollidayes
.
And
so
not
having
any
farther
matter
to
impart
at
this
time
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
very
,
&
c

HENRY
NEVILLE

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr

Secretary
Cecyll

Sir
,
Paris
20th
Dec
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
might
very
well
have
been
silent
at
this
time
,
this
being
a
season
that
affords
no
great
alteration
for
matters
of
action
,
and
my
self
having
received
no
one
letter
from
you
of
any
direction
since
that
of
the
24th
of
October
,
the
other
of
the
28th
,
containing
nothing
but
a
duplicat
of
that
.
Yet
to
hold
my
former
course
,
and
to
perform
that
which
I
take
to
be
the
duty
of
my
place
,
I
would
not
let
this
messenger
return
without
some
few
lines
from
me
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
arrived
at
Fontainebleau
upon
Friday
the
17th
of
December
according
to
this
account
.
The
order
taken
for
his
receiving
and
entertainment
,
I
send
you
a
copy
of
,
which
was
only
altered
in
the
first
point
of
his
meeting
,
because
the
Duke
purposely
to
prevent
it
,
took
post
,
and
came
thither
early
in
the
morning
while
the
King
was
at
mass
.
Upon
the
Tuesday
after
,
the
King
brought
him
to
this
town
,
and
lodged
him
and
himself
for
two
or
three
nights
at
Zamet's
house
,
and
afterwards
brought
him
to
Madam
de
Nemours
house
,
just
upon
the
day
that
the
Duke
of
Guise
was
slain
,
and
which
that
house
was
wont
to
keep
very
religiously
:
but
notwithstanding
the
King
would
needs
have
him
feasted
there
that
day
,
and
madam
de
Guise
to
be
present
at
it
.
The
Duke
hath
lodged
there
ever
since
till
yesterday
,
that
he
removed
to
the
lawre
.
D
.
100
The
Duke
of
Bouillon
told
my
Secretary
,
that
c
.
131
The
Duke
of
Savoy
offers
to
discover
to
6
120
the
French
King
such
practices
both
against
him
and
a
.
100
The
Queen
,
that
should
give
him
just
occasion
to
break
the
peace
he
hath
with
c
.
100
Spain
,
and
to
a
.
100
The
Queen
,
to
proceed
no
further
in
the
w
.
200
Treaty
;
but
before
he
do
it
,
he
would
be
assured
both
to
be
supported
by
6
120
the
French
King
,
and
that
a
.
100
The
Queen
had
not
gone
so
far
in
the
w
.
200
Treaty
,
but
that
she
might
(
upon
this
advertisement
)
defist
.
Hereupon
he
motioned
that
I
would
be
contented
,
upon
a
vifitation
first
performed
by
the
Ambassador
of
the
Duke
unto
me
,
to
go
to
visit
the
Duke
.
But
for
my
part
I
am
jealous
of
all
that
proceedes
both
from
d
.
100
The
Duke
de
Bouillon
and
c
.
131
The
Duke
of
Savoy
in
this
matter
;
therefore
I
resolve
not
to
do
any
thing
in
this
point
without
warrant
.
D
.
100
The
Duke
de
Bouillon
sent
me
word
,
he
would
very
shortly
come
unto
me
of
purpose
to
confer
with
me
about
it
.
If
his
conference
yeeld
any
matter
worthy
of
advertisement
,
I
will
presently
dispatch
a
Messenger
unto
you
.
He
hath
dealt
to
the
same
purpose
with
r
.
165
The
states
Agent
,
who
hath
communicated
it
with
me
,
and
hath
promised
,
if
at
his
going
to
c
.
131
The
Duke
of
Savoy
he
can
discover
any
thing
,
to
acquaint
me
with
it
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
hath
offred
to
deliver
up
the
Marquisat
to
the
King
,
but
he
would
gladly
that
the
King
should
promise
him
to
abandon
those
of
Geneva
,
and
hath
been
very
earnest
in
it
;
but
the
King
will
not
hear
of
it
by
any
means
.
I
had
some
secret
underflanding
of
it
,
by
the
party
I
sent
your
honor
word
of
by
my
Secretary
,
which
I
communicated
to
their
Agent
here
,
and
gave
him
occasion
to
labor
in
time
against
it
.
The
sentence
of
the
King's
divorce
was
pronounced
upon
Saturday
was
fevennight
,
and
published
upon
thurfeday
last
.
I
wrote
unto
your
honor
in
some
of
my
last
of
an
advise
that
was
communicated
to
me
out
of
Spain
;
I
have
been
careful
to
sift
as
much
as
I
might
,
yet
the
letter
it
self
I
could
not
see
,
but
these
points
were
delivered
me
collected
out
of
it
which
I
have
here
enclosed
.
This
court
hath
no
confirmation
of
any
particularity
,
but
I
understand
for
certain
,
that
all
the
soldiers
and
mariners
which
returned
with
the
Adelantado
are
retained
in
pay
,
and
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
acknowledged
to
a
friend
of
mine
,
that
he
was
advertised
the
King
of
Spain
made
some
preparations
,
but
not
in
that
proportion
that
might
give
his
neighbors
cause
to
fear
much
.
It
is
held
here
,
that
our
treaty
with
the
Archduke
groweth
cold
,
and
the
like
I
saw
written
out
of
the
low
countries
.
The
commission
is
now
verified
at
length
in
this
court
of
parliament
,
if
it
prove
so
difficile
in
all
the
other
parliaments
,
it
will
be
a
long
piece
of
work
:
and
I
believe
although
the
verification
be
passed
,
we
shall
find
much
differeuce
in
the
execution
.
I
have
at
lengthe
with
much
opposition
of
the
farmers
,
gotten
the
ordinary
allowance
of
impoft
of
wine
,
which
former
ambassadors
have
had
.
The
Earl
of
Crawford
is
arrived
here
,
with
a
brother
of
the
Secretary's
of
Scotland
.
It
is
thought
they
are
both
to
go
to
g
.
140
The
Pope
about
the
employment
I
have
heretofore
written
of
.
I
send
your
honor
copics
of
the
King's
letters
written
to
Brest
,
about
the
delivering
of
our
two
English
barks
that
were
brought
in
thither
by
the
Spaniards
.
More
I
have
not
to
trouble
your
honor
with
at
this
time
,
and
therefore

Right
honorable
,
Paris
,
3d

O
.
S
.
Since
my
last
letter
unto
your
honor
,
because
I
had
not
seen
the
King
a
good
while
I
took
occasion
to
pray
audience
,
though
I
had
no
great
matter
to
deal
with
him
of
.
At
my
access
unto
him
,
first
I
gave
him
thanks
for
the
favor
he
showed
to
the
Englishmen
which
were
taken
by
the
Spaniards
and
brought
to
Brest
,
assuring
him
that
her
Majesty
had
received
very
great
contentment
thereof
,
as
of
a
certain
argument
of
his
friendship
and
good
affection
towards
us
,
which
she
held
more
dear
than
the
friendship
of
any
other
Prince
in
the
world
;
and
that
for
her
part
,
knowing
that
amity
is
preserved
by
the
same
means
it
is
bred
,
she
would
also
strive
to
correspond
in
all
good
offices
towards
him
;
as
being
assuredly
persuaded
,
that
this
good
union
and
intelligence
between
them
,
would
breed
both
honor
,
safety
,
and
contentment
unto
them
both
.
I
said
,
I
doubted
not
but
he
was
of
the
same
mind
,
and
in
that
confidence
I
would
be
bold
to
remember
him
of
some
points
wherein
I
conceived
there
was
some
default
on
the
part
of
his
subjects
and
ministers
,
which
I
trusted
he
would
give
order
to
reform
,
according
to
his
good
intention
which
he
had
often
declared
unto
me
.
First
I
told
him
,
it
was
an
ordinary
matter
for
his
subjects
to
serve
in
Dunkirk
ships
against
us
,
and
that
by
means
of
their
skill
and
knowledge
of
both
coasts
,
and
the
favorable
access
and
retreat
which
they
found
in
the
havens
and
maritime
towns
of
France
,
they
had
given
the
enemies
opportunity
to
do
us
much
more
harm
than
otherwise
they
could
have
done
:
which
being
so
directly
contrary
to
the
treaties
he
hath
with
her
Majesty
,
and
namely
to
that
of
1596
made
by
himself
,
I
prayed
him
to
do
as
much
for
her
Majesty
,
as
he
had
done
for
the
King
of
Spain
this
last
summer
in
like
case
,
though
with
less
obligation
by
treaty
;
namely
to
revoke
those
which
were
there
,
and
to
forbid
all
other
to
serve
them
any
more
,
against
the
subjects
of
the
Queen
my
Mistress
.
For
the
second
,
I
prayed
him
to
remember
,
that
it
was
more
than
a
year
since
that
her
Majesty
,
at
the
instance
chiefly
of
his
Ambassador
,
had
established
an
absolute
and
sufficient
commission
to
here
and
determine
marine
causes
,
which
had
been
seriously
traveled
in
,
and
good
justice
done
to
diverse
of
his
subjects
,
to
the
contentment
of
his
Ambassador
;
as
he
had
acknowledged
to
her
Majesty
and
her
council
;
that
the
like
was
promised
to
have
been
established
on
his
part
from
the
beginning
,
yet
that
at
my
first
coming
into
France
I
found
nothing
done
in
it
;
but
that
after
some
pursuit
thereof
made
by
me
,
it
pleased
him
at
length
to
grant
such
a
commission
,
which
being
taken
to
be
as
absolute
and
as
sufficient
power
as
the
Queen's
was
,
and
that
there
would
have
been
no
opposition
in
the
execution
of
it
,
there
came
some
over
hither
to
pursue
a
complaint
before
these
commissioners
against
some
of
Crotoy
;
and
that
entering
into
the
cause
,
in
the
very
beginning
they
found
the
commission
insufficient
for
want
of
verification
in
the
several
parliaments
,
and
the
commissioners
precepts
were
absolutely
refused
to
be
obeyed
.
That
hereupon
I
had
sued
above
three
months
to
have
it
verified
only
in
this
parliament
,
which
was
scarce
yet
effective
as
it
should
be
;
the
poor
complainants
being
driven
to
attend
here
in
the
mean
time
at
an
excessive
and
unnecessary
charge
,
which
would
deterre
all
others
to
come
to
sue
for
justice
here
,
and
so
hinder
the
good
intention
both
their
majesties
had
to
reform
those
abuses
,
and
to
settle
a
good
amity
and
agreement
between
their
subjects
,
by
removing
all
such
causes
of
difference
and
discontentment
:
therefore
I
prayed
him
to
give
commandment
,
that
the
commission
should
be
verified
in
all
the
parliaments
out
of
hand
,
and
that
justice
should
be
ministered
with
expedition
,
to
such
as
came
to
complain
.
The
King
answered
to
the
thanks
I
gave
him
,
that
he
would
be
ever
found
as
ready
as
he
had
now
been
,
to
give
the
Queen
and
her
subjects
all
good
contentment
,
and
that
he
hoped
the
Queen
would
now
remitte
her
anger
she
had
conceived
,
because
he
had
not
delivered
her
the
irishmen
which
she
demanded
.
To
that
I
could
reply
nothing
,
because
I
neither
knew
what
he
had
answered
the
Queen
in
that
point
,
nor
what
she
had
thereupon
said
to
his
Ambassador
.
To
the
first
of
my
demands
,
he
said
he
would
do
it
without
difficulty
,
for
those
were
his
words
;
which
I
noted
the
rather
,
because
I
found
monsieur
de
Villeroy
before
so
peremptorie
against
it
.
To
the
second
he
also
promised
all
contentment
,
although
he
said
the
proceeding
in
England
was
nothing
solide
,
but
that
he
would
do
that
which
belonged
to
him
notwithstanding
;
and
the
fault
,
if
any
were
,
should
be
on
our
side
.
Lastly
,
after
his
answer
to
these
points
,
I
told
him
I
must
be
bold
to
put
him
in
mind
again
of
her
Majesty's
great
expense
this
last
yeere
,
which
was
not
like
any
whit
to
diminish
this
year
,
seeing
the
troubles
of
Ireland
were
in
all
appearance
like
to
continue
.
And
I
therefore
prayed
him
to
remember
his
promise
made
me
at
Blois
,
to
give
her
Majesty
some
ample
contentment
of
that
she
had
demanded
of
him
;
and
that
he
would
show
himself
such
to
her
in
her
occasions
,
as
she
had
been
to
him
in
his
,
and
not
to
blemish
the
glorious
memory
which
he
should
otherwise
leave
to
all
posterity
with
this
one
spot
,
to
have
too
little
regarded
,
or
too
ill
requited
,
the
worthiest
and
most
faithful
friend
that
ever
Prince
had
.
And
I
prayed
him
to
consider
,
that
by
his
dealing
herein
with
her
Majesty
,
the
world
would
ground
a
judgement
,
how
to
esteem
and
value
his
friendship
towards
others
.
In
particular
,
I
desired
him
to
strain
himself
to
pay
her
some
round
sum
of
money
this
year
,
that
she
might
be
the
better
inabled
to
make
a
short
end
of
her
troubles
,
and
have
the
less
occasion
to
press
him
hereafter
.
To
this
he
answered
shortly
,
that
he
was
about
it
,
and
would
do
the
uttermost
he
could
for
her
Majesty's
satisfaction
;
acknowledging
himself
infinitely
beholden
to
her
,
and
that
he
would
ever
remain
her
servant
.
Then
demanding
of
her
Majesty's
good
health
,
without
any
other
questions
or
discourse
he
dismissed
me
,
(
because
the
Nuncio
was
likewise
attending
for
audience
)
willing
me
to
deliver
a
note
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
of
the
points
I
had
proposed
,
which
I
have
done
accordingly
.
Of
the
Duke
of
Savoy's
treaty
with
the
King
I
can
write
you
no
certainty
;
many
offers
have
been
made
by
the
Duke
,
but
all
so
,
as
he
would
not
depart
with
the
Marquisat
.
They
have
been
sometimes
at
the
very
point
to
agree
,
but
after
have
broken
off
again
.
Upon
Monday
last
the
King
went
a
hunting
,
leaving
the
Duke
behind
him
,
and
came
not
hither
again
till
yesternight
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Duke
made
shew
of
much
discontentment
,
and
as
if
he
would
take
his
leave
of
the
King
as
soon
as
he
returned
.
Notwithstanding
the
opinion
is
,
they
will
accord
in
the
end
to
this
effect
;
that
the
Duke
shall
retain
the
Marquisat
,
and
render
in
exchange
to
the
King
all
Bresse
,
and
the
valley
of
Barcellonetta
,
and
re-edify
at
his
own
charges
Centall
,
a
frontier
town
of
Provence
,
which
he
had
surprised
during
these
wars
,
and
demolished
.
This
men
gather
,
by
reason
of
the
King's
disposition
,
which
seems
wholly
bent
to
take
his
ease
and
pleasure
,
and
to
shun
all
occasions
that
may
divert
him
from
it
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Duke
of
Savoy
speaks
high
about
the
leaving
of
the
Marquisat
,
and
says
,
he
will
rather
make
it
the
tomb
of
himself
and
all
his
race
.
By
this
your
honor
may
see
,
that
I
conceived
aright
of
those
overtures
which
I
signified
were
made
by
him
at
his
first
coming
,
wherein
I
wonder
d
.
100
The
Duke
of
Bouillon
could
be
so
abused
,
unless
I
should
think
rather
that
he
had
a
purpose
to
abuse
me
in
it
.
Our
advertisements
of
the
preparations
in
Spain
do
still
continue
among
the
merchants
which
have
correspondence
there
,
who
have
lately
received
advise
not
to
be
hasty
in
sending
some
commodities
thither
which
they
intended
to
do
,
because
there
is
little
money
stirring
there
,
by
reason
of
the
fleet
and
great
preparations
which
are
now
making
there
.
Notwithstanding
,
the
governor
of
Dieppe
told
me
yesterday
,
that
he
hath
news
that
a
ship
of
his
which
hath
been
detained
there
the
last
year
is
now
released
absolutely
,
and
many
other
likewise
by
the
King's
express
commandment
,
the
Adelantado
refusing
before
the
commandment
came
,
to
discharge
any
,
but
upon
sufficient
bond
to
return
to
his
service
,
if
he
did
require
it
.
I
send
you
also
enclosed
an
extract
of
a
letter
out
of
Spain
,
importing
the
great
scarcitie
of
money
and
almost
impossibility
of
making
any
great
preparations
;
yet
as
I
said
,
the
merchants
here
have
contrary
advise
,
and
the
opinion
is
,
that
the
King
of
Spain
doth
not
intend
peace
:
but
of
that
I
do
assure
my
self
,
your
honor
hath
better
means
to
judge
than
they
here
.
And
for
his
preparations
,
(
which
are
the
best
discoverers
of
his
intention
)
I
suppose
your
honor
is
also
very
perfectly
advertised
,
by
such
means
as
I
know
you
have
employed
for
it
:
yet
I
think
it
my
duty
also
to
add
what
I
can
learn
or
hear
thereof
.
The
irishmen
that
live
in
this
town
and
the
low
countries
,
give
out
very
confident
bruits
,
of
the
great
weakenes
of
her
Majesty's
forces
there
,
and
the
strength
of
the
rebels
;
of
Tyrone's
resolution
to
pursue
the
war
,
till
he
have
established
the
Catholic
religion
,
and
of
his
purpose
to
approach
the
war
to
the
gates
of
Dublin
.
Their
intelligence
it
seems
they
receive
from
some
Jesuits
there
,
and
namely
from
one
Fitzsimon
residing
in
Dublin
.
Those
which
are
well
affected
to
the
Queen
in
these
parts
,
wish
these
troubles
ended
ed
with
any
conditions
,
saying
that
whatsoever
she
grant
now
to
establish
her
peace
,
she
shall
not
want
just
pretexts
to
revoke
when
she
is
ready
for
it
;
and
in
the
mean
time
they
say
she
shall
secure
her
estate
,
from
the
greatest
dishonor
and
danger
that
it
was
subject
to
since
her
reign
.
These
discourses
I
cannot
refuse
to
hear
,
proceeding
as
I
am
persuaded
of
good
affection
,
and
I
think
it
my
duty
to
relate
them
,
although
I
know
that
her
Majesty
is
so
wise
,
as
she
needs
no
suggestions
from
hence
,
or
any
place
.
Our
advertisements
here
out
of
the
east
parts
are
,
that
the
Cardinal
Bathory
,
to
whom
the
Prince
of
Transylvania
resigned
his
country
,
is
defeated
in
battle
by
the
Voivode
of
Wallachia
,
and
in
his
flight
drowned
in
a
river
he
sought
to
pass
:
and
that
the
treaty
of
peace
,
between
the
Turk
and
the
Emperor
,
is
resumed
again
.
Out
of
Germany
we
hear
,
that
the
Protestant
princes
,
apprehending
the
dishonor
they
received
the
last
sommer
,
resolve
to
recover
their
reputation
this
year
;
and
that
some
other
princes
which
withdrew
themselves
then
,
are
now
contented
to
join
in
the
action
:
particularly
,
that
the
Duke
of
Brunswick
is
most
sensible
of
the
disgrace
,
and
hath
executed
diverse
of
the
commanders
of
his
troops
about
it
.
The
Duke
of
Württemberg
upon
a
jollity
,
is
gone
to
Rome
to
the
jubilee
.
There
is
like
to
be
some
trouble
again
about
the
bishopric
of
Strasbourg
.
I
was
bold
by
my
Secretary
to
move
your
honor
again
about
Charles
Paget
,
and
upon
the
report
he
hath
made
me
of
your
answer
,
I
am
bold
now
once
more
to
recommend
it
unto
you
,
being
fully
persuaded
he
may
be
of
very
great
use
unto
her
Majesty's
affairs
;
and
where
she
may
reap
more
advantage
by
his
restoring
than
his
rejecting
.
I
should
think
it
most
honorable
for
her
to
do
that
,
by
which
she
should
receive
most
good
.
Besides
he
hath
done
me
many
good
offices
here
,
hoping
he
might
receive
some
comfort
by
my
mediation
unto
your
honor
.
And
many
more
will
do
the
like
to
me
,
and
those
that
shall
succeed
,
if
they
find
his
course
to
speed
well
.
But
if
they
once
see
we
have
no
credit
,
nor
power
to
do
them
any
good
,
they
will
all
forsake
us
,
and
deal
no
further
with
us
.
Therefore
sometimes
to
give
a
minister
that
Grace
,
cannot
prejudice
her
Majesty's
affairs
,
but
rather
further
them
.
I
humbly
beseech
your
honor
therefore
at
my
suit
,
to
move
her
Majesty
once
more
about
him
.
As
for
his
land
which
he
seeks
to
be
restored
unto
,
it
is
but
a
state
for
his
life
which
the
Queen
hath
in
it
,
and
it
is
now
let
since
it
came
into
her
Majesty's
hands
for
less
then
a
hundred
pound
:
so
that
upon
the
matter
that
which
her
Majesty
should
depart
with
,
would
be
but
as
a
pension
of
such
a
value
.
Touching
the
enterview
between
g
.
142
The
Spanish
Ambassador
and
me
,
I
hear
no
more
of
it
.
The
jealousy
belike
is
past
for
this
time
,
but
if
the
like
occasion
be
offred
again
,
now
I
understand
her
Majesty's
pleasure
,
I
will
embrace
it
,
and
govern
my
self
as
I
am
directed
.
My
Secretary
tells
me
,
that
your
honor
referres
to
my
discretion
the
imploying
of
x
.
Dowlbiy.Nwkmwehfz.Khit
the
cordelier
to
Rome
if
I
think
him
faithful
.
For
that
point
I
dare
undertake
,
for
he
is
secretly
of
the
religion
,
and
means
ere
long
to
declare
himself
;
and
in
the
mean
time
is
willing
to
do
such
service
,
as
he
may
deserve
somewhat
to
stay
himself
upon
,
when
he
shall
retire
hence
.
I
do
therefore
determine
to
use
him
,
and
will
send
him
away
very
shortly
in
the
company
of
cotduq.Igthgown
the
Patriarch
.
For
the
practices
which
I
imparted
to
your
honor
by
my
Secretary
,
I
have
a
very
extraordinary
means
offred
me
of
late
to
discover
them
,
which
I
will
communicate
when
I
have
a
sit
Messenger
.
In
the
mean
time
I
humbly
beseech
you
,
that
what
I
shall
write
thereof
at
any
time
,
may
not
be
communicated
but
to
her
Majesty
alone
,
and
that
it
will
please
your
honor
,
to
reserve
those
letters
in
your
own
custody
;
for
seeing
her
Majesty's
gracious
pleasure
is
to
have
that
confidence
in
me
which
your
honor
writes
,
(
for
which
I
humbly
kiss
her
royal
hands
)
I
will
endeavor
with
all
faith
and
diligence
to
answer
her
expectation
,
and
to
serve
her
without
respect
of
any
hazard
;
and
I
hope
I
shall
be
able
to
discover
somewhat
worth
the
knowing
.
This
day
monsieur
d'Aliencourt
hath
taken
his
journey
towards
Rome
,
to
thank
the
Pope
for
his
favor
done
the
King
about
his
divorce
.
In
his
way
he
is
to
visit
the
gran
duca
,
and
his
niece
the
Princess
,
of
whose
match
with
the
King
there
is
now
fresh
speech
again
.
And
so

I
wrote
unto
your
honor
in
my
last
,
that
I
had
light
upon
a
very
extraordinary
means
to
discover
the
practices
x
.
Rf
in
m
.
175
Scotland
.
And
surely
I
do
for
my
part
,
acknowledge
it
to
proceede
from
the
same
miraculous
favor
of
God
which
he
hath
so
often
shewed
towards
her
Majesty
,
being
otherwise
a
thing
that
no
wit
nor
industry
of
man
could
have
projected
,
the
matter
is
this

Referendaries
to
the
Pope
of
principal
credit
and
estimation
,
wrote
a
letter
unto
lby
.
Mb
sk
m
sd
an
Italian
in
this
town
whom
he
hath
known
long
,
whereof
this
is
an
abstract
which
I
send
here
enclosed
,
for
as
much
as
concernes
that
matter
.
The
party
,
having
been
7
or
8
years
in
England
,
and
bearing
some
affection
to
our
state
,
and
perhaps
loking
for
some
reward
;
but
especially
as
I
conceive
guided
by
the
very
hand
of
God
,
and
by
the
happy
destiny
of
her
Majesty
,
came
to
me
,
and
communicated
the
whole
letter
unto
me
,
offring
to
entertain
the
matter
if
I
would
,
and
to
reveal
from
time
to
time
unto
me
the
whole
proceeding
in
it
.
I
embraced
the
offer
very
willingly
,
as
I
had
cause
;
and
the
better
to
enable
him
to
make
such
a
relation
of
England
as
might
give
them
liking
of
him
,
and
induce
them
the
rather
to
employ
him
,
I
have
furnished
him
with
some
notes
which
he
hath
already
sent
away
,
offring
his
service
further
as
they
shall
please
to
command
it
.
He
makes
full
account
to
be
used
in
this
business
:
by
means
whereof
we
shall
be
able
to
discover
their
whole
designs
,
which
surely
are
worth
the
hearkening
after
,
and
further
advanced
I
fear
than
is
conceived
.
I
have
promised
the
party
,
if
he
perform
what
he
pretends
,
that
he
shall
be
rewarded
according
to
the
importance
of
the
service
.
In
the
mean
time
he
shall
receive
some
remembrance
from
me
,
to
entertain
him
in
good
devotion
to
pursue
it
.
This
party
is
nephew
unto
one
q
.
Keg
it
b
l
gt
portinari
,
who
some
time
served
her
Majesty
as
an
engineer
in
the
beginning
of
her
reign
,
and
wrote
a
book
(
as
this
man
tells
me
)
of
the
means
to
reduce
Ireland
to
perfect
obedience
;
which
was
written
out
in
this
man's
hand
,
and
delivered
unto
my
Lord
your
father
,
when
he
was
Secretary
.
I
beseech
you
to
insert
these
characters
following
into
your
cipher
,
r
.
163
To
serve
for
the
friar
whom
I
employ
;
l
.
163
For
the
party
from
whom
I
bad
this
enclosed
letter
;
and
m
.
177
For
roome
,
for
of
these
I
shall
have
often
occasion
to
write
hereafter
.
I
desire
that
it
would
please
your
honor
to
give
me
such
directions
as
you
shall
think
sit
for
my
proceeding
in
it
.
I
have
not
yet
heard
of
Mr
.
Edmonds
since
he
went
from
Calais
,
if
I
have
no
news
of
him
this
week
,
I
shall
imaginne
him
to
be
returned
into
England
;
but
otherwise
if
the
treaty
proceed
here
,
and
if
your
honor
commes
over
about
it
,
(
as
all
men
conceive
you
shall
)
I
shall
take
it
for
a
great
honor
if
I
may
be
permitted
to
wait
upon
you
wheresoever
it
be
:
which
I
think
I
may
very
well
do
,
for
here
will
be
noc
such
great
business
for
me
in
the
mean
time
,
but
that
I
may
be
well
enough
spared
.
I
hope
Captain
elliott
be
long
ere
this
arrived
in
England
,
I
dispatched
p
ed
him
hence
the
morrow
after
our
chrystmas-day
.
I
send
here
enclosed
the
second
bill
of
exchange
to
corfini
,
for
the
5000
crowns
he
is
to
pay
her
Majesty
.
The
King
and
the
Duke
of
Savoy
are
not
yet
accorded
,
they
rather
seem
to
grow
every
day
the
farther
off
.
Presently
after
his
departure
,
the
King
intends
a
posting
journey
to
Calais
,
and
the
frontier
towns
thereabouts
:
and
towards
the
spring
men
talk
already
of
a
journey
to
Lyons
and
Marseilles
,
supposing
the
treaty
of
marriage
with
the
princes
of
Florence
will
be
well
advanced
by
that
time
.
I
hear
that
Monsieur
de
Sillery
shall
go
to
Florence
about
it
,
presently
after
the
arrival
of
Monsieur
d'Aliencourt
at
Rome
.
By
my
next
I
hope
to
send
you
the
conclusion
of
this
treaty
for
the
Marquisat
,
or
that
it
is
broken
of
;
but
I
think
rather
the
former
,
for
what
shews
soever
they
make
to
the
contrary
,
I
assure
my
self
they
both
desire
an
accord
.
I
have
solicited
monsieur
de
Villeroy
for
some
resolution
in
the
points
I
proposed
to
the
King
in
my
last
audience
,
but
he
excuses
himself
yet
upon
this
other
business
with
the
Duke
of
Savoy
.
If
her
Majesty
would
be
pleased
to
write
unto
the
King
somewhat
earnestly
about
the
money
,
I
veryly
think
some
good
would
be
done
:
in
the
mean
time
I
will
not
desist
to
urge
it
as
I
may
.
The
Lord
Hume
,
who
was
gone
out
of
this
town
towards
Italy
(
as
he
pretended
,)
is
returned
again
,
and
as
I
learn
hath
been
at
Brussels
.
It
is
more
than
two
months
,
since
I
was
advertised
that
he
was
reconciled
(
by
Parsons's
interpofing
)
with
the
Earl
Bothwell
.
I
did
not
then
much
credit
it
,
but
this
journey
of
his
to
Brussels
,
where
Bothwell
is
,
makes
it
more
probable
;
besides
the
confirmation
I
received
lately
of
it
by
a
Scottish
nobleman
here
.
If
this
reconciliation
be
true
,
there
is
a
mystery
in
it
,
and
it
is
not
done
without
the
privity
of
f
.
150
The
Scots
King
,
for
there
are
none
greater
with
him
than
the
Lord
Hume
,
and
his
uncle
Sir
George
Hume
.
In
sum
Sir
by
all
advertisements
I
receive
,
I
find
a
great
concurrence
towards
some
alteration
in
those
parts
,
and
many
are
won
to
the
adverse
side
;
which
will
not
declare
themselves
till
the
instant
,
and
in
the
mean
time
bold
false
fellowship
with
our
side
,
to
do
the
greater
harm
.
I
hope
to
discover
more
daily
.
And
so
,
&
c
.
Your
honors
very
,

O

Since
my
last
,
which
I
sent
by
my
brother
Trelawny
,
I
have
dispatched
r
.
163
The
fryer
mentioned
in
my
last
letter
q
.
Ic
.
M
.
177
To
Rome
.
Before
his
departure
I
caused
him
to
make
straight
acquaintance
with
some
dociind
scots
here
,
whom
I
suspected
to
be
practizers
in
the
business
I
have
so
often
written
of
;
which
was
easy
for
him
to
do
,
because
they
perceiving
the
credit
he
had
with
z
.
Eotduy
.
Bemsert
the
Patriarch
,
were
very
glad
to
becom
inward
with
him
,
hoping
to
make
good
use
of
him
towards
the
other
I
last
mentioned
.
In
this
confidence
(
he
having
governed
himself
discreetly
,
and
seeming
very
zealous
and
passionate
in
the
common
cause
)
they
have
opened
themselves
in
General
terms
very
far
unto
him
,
and
confirmed
all
that
I
have
heretofore
advertised
,
and
have
given
him
letters
of
special
recommendation
to
Rome
.
The
letters
he
brought
to
me
,
which
I
perusing
,
I
took
copie
of
one
of
them
which
I
send
here
enclosed
,
finding
it
to
import
more
than
the
rest
.
And
perceiving
that
the
wryter
had
willed
his
freend
to
communicatt
their
cipher
unto
him
when
he
came
there
,
I
caused
him
,
under
pretence
of
his
desire
to
write
from
Lyons
,
where
x
.
Dowgmg
.
Igt
lgow
the
Patriarch
was
to
make
some
stay
,
to
demand
a
cipher
of
him
;
whereupon
he
gave
him
the
very
same
that
he
had
used
in
his
letter
,
by
means
whereof
I
came
to
read
it
:
which
I
have
the
rather
noted
to
your
honor
,
that
you
may
judge
by
this
beginning
,
both
of
His
dexterity
and
faithfulness
.
I
have
willed
him
to
certify
what
he
can
learn
both
by
iwnz
.
Fwb
lf
the
scots
,
with
whom
he
is
like
to
have
great
confidence
by
reason
of
the
commendation
he
carries
,
and
likewise
by
I
.
Btw
m
dn
k
m
at
the
English
,
of
such
points
as
I
have
given
him
instructions
of
.
And
if
any
of
them
lift
to
write
hither
,
I
have
willed
him
to
offer
his
means
of
conveying
their
letters
,
which
they
will
never
distrust
;
and
thereby
their
letters
will
fall
into
my
hands
:
so
that
befor
may-day
,
I
am
in
hope
your
honor
shall
know
the
very
secrett
of
their
designs
.
I
have
given
him
for
his
journey
and
maintenance
for
a
time
25
l
.
Sterling
,
and
besides
furnish'd
him
of
a
horse
which
cost
15
l
.
I
have
promised
him
150
crowns
a
yeere
while
he
remaynes
there
;
and
upon
his
return
,
when
he
shall
be
mynded
to
declare
himself
,
I
have
undertaken
that
her
Majesty
will
bestow
a
prebend
or
some
such
other
means
of
maintenance
upon
him
to
live
upon
,
so
he
perform
this
service
faithfully
.
In
perusing
the
names
for
the
which
he
useth
special
characters
in
the
cipher
,
I
find
of
English
these
contained
in
the
note
enclosed
:

Majesty
,
your

Lord
of

I
humbly
pray
that
this
whole
matter
may
be
kept
very
secret
,
for
if
the
least
vent
of
it
come
abroad
,
it
will
both
endanger
his
life
I
use
,
and
disappoint
as
likely
a
means
to
discover
those
practices
as
can
be
imagined
;
which
I
assure
your
honor
,
upon
concurrence
of
many
advertisements
,
to
be
far
advanced
,
and
that
they
expect
undoubtedly
a
speedy
effect
of
them
.
The
author
of
the
letter
,
labouring
of
late
to
seduce
a
young
nobleman
to
popery
(
as
he
is
a
very
great
intermeddler
in
this
business
)
when
he
could
not
prevail
by
reason
,
told
him
plainly
,
that
within
few
tears
,
and
possibly
within
few
months
,
he
would
repent
him
if
be
refused
to
becom
catholique
.
There
is
continually
great
consultation
and
meetings
held
at

speak
bigg

that
they
will
have
the
masse
in
Scotland
ere
many
months
.
They
stay
only
for
the
money
from

get
knowledge

HENRY
NEVILLE

A
private
letter
(
of
the
same
date
)
from
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
SIR
,
besides
my
dispatch
,
which
may
perhaps
be
communicated
to
her
Majesty
,
I
thought
good
by
this
private
letter
to
your
honor
,
to
signify
what
passed
more
between
the
King
and
me
,
than
I
have
therein
advertised
.
First
,
in
the
matter
of
depredations
,
when
he
seemed
to
lay
the
blame
of
lacke
of
justice
upon
our
ministers
,
he
named
directly
our
admiraltie
,
complayning
very
bitterly
against
them
.
Moreover
after
the
speech
he
used
of
the
Irish
matters
,
he
asked
me
if
my
Lord
of
Essex
and
my
*
Lord
Admiral
were
made
freends
before
his
journey
.
I
answered
,
I
knew
of
no
other
but
frendly
disposition
between
them
,
and
if
there
had
been
any
other
at
any
time
,
yet
at
the
time
of
his
departure
I
knew
they
were
in
very
kind
terms
.
Then
he
asked
me
,
whether
your
honor
and
my
Lord
of
Essex
did
agree
any
better
than
you
did
.
These
questions
were
strange
to
me
,
and
I
answered
,
that
I
knew
of
much
kindnes
that
had
passed
between
your
honor
and
him
,
but
never
of
any
unkindness
.
He
said
,
yet
,
yes
;
and
that
he
had
heard
much
of
it
.
I
told
him
,
that
in
matters
of
advice
and
counsel
,
you
might
perhaps
have
differed
sometyme
in
opinion
,
which
was
ordinary
in
princes
counsels
,
and
I
thought
his
court
was
not
free
from
it
:
no
,
no
,
said
he
,
I
have
had
the
greatest
pain
in
the
world
to
containe
them
,
but
I
have
made
them
know
my
mind
,
that
I
will
have
them
agree
,
and
I
think
that
the
best
course
for
the
Queen
your
mistres
also
.
Then
he
fell
in
commendations
of
your
honor
,
with
words
of
very
good
affection
,
and
said
,
he
thought
your
journey
into
France
had
done
you
no
hurt
.
I
told
him
,
I
had
heard
your
honor
acknowledge
the
great
contentment
and
honor
you
had
received
here
,
and
how
ready
you
would
be
to
acknowledge
it
(
reserving
your
duty
to
her
Majesty
)
with
any
service
to
him
,
with
which
he
seemed
to
be
well
pleased
.
He
told
me
also
a
merriment
,
that
he
understood
that
the
Archduke
that
night
he
was
married
,
was
not
able
to
consummat
matrimony
with
the
Infanta
,
which
he
had
likewise
related
to
the
General
of
the
Cordeliers
,
who
had
answered
that
it
might
well
be
,
for
he
had
heard
the
Archduke's
confesser
affirm
,
that
he
knew
,
when
he
was
37
years
old
he
had
never
touched
woman
.
Thus
praying
pardon
of
your
honor
,
if
whiles
I
thought
to
relate
you
all
that
passed
,
I
have
troubled
you
with
more
than
needed
,
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's

HENRY
NEVILLE

Chevalier
guicciardine
,

fell
soddainly
dead
of
an
apoplexie
upon

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
,
26th
Jan
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
Since
my
brother
Trelawny's
departure
I
was
with
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
to
solicit
the
resolution
and
dispatch
of
those
three
points
I
had
dealt
with
the
King
in
,
whereof
I
gave
advertisement
in
my
dispatch
by
bouchard
.
To
the
first
he
said
,
the
proclamation
the
King
made
this
last
sommer
to
revoke
his
subjects
from
the
states
service
,
was
General
,
to
all
such
as
served
any
foreign
state
without
his
licence
;
more
particular
declaration
he
might
not
make
;
and
with
that
we
might
very
well
be
satisfied
.
I
told
him
I
could
never
obtain
a
sight
of
that
proclamation
,
although
I
had
used
means
both
to
the
Chancellor
and
others
for
it
,
the
copies
being
all
taken
into
his
own
hands
,
and
therefore
desired
it
might
be
communicated
unto
me
.
He
said
it
should
be
sent
to
Monsieur
Boissise
to
shew
her
Majesty
:
but
I
fear
he
will
play
false
in
it
,
for
I
had
once
a
sight
of
it
,
though
I
could
not
be
permitted
to
take
a
copy
;
and
I
remember
no
General
revocation
,
but
only
particular
,
to
those
which
were
in
the
states
service
.
But
the
best
is
,
if
the
peace
proceed
,
this
will
not
be
greatly
material
to
be
stood
upon
.
To
the
second
point
of
verifying
the
commission
,
he
said
it
should
be
donne
in
those
parliaments
whole
jurisdictions
reached
to
the
sea
coast
,
for
the
rest
he
thought
it
needful
.
But
hereupon
he
fell
to
exclaim
more
bitterly
than
ever
against
our
nation
for
the
piracies
they
committ
daily
at
sea
(
for
so
he
terms
it
)
against
the
French
,
and
said
they
had
continual
complaints
of
it
,
and
namely
of
some
of
theirs
spoiled
and
thrown
over-board
by
some
of
our
merchants
ships
in
the
Levant
seas
,
almost
as
far
as
Tripoli
,
and
towards
Constantinople
,
and
some
upon
the
coast
of
Barbary
;
and
that
if
there
were
no
better
order
taken
,
il
en
avieudroit
du
mal
.
I
told
him
it
was
possible
,
there
might
be
some
evil
disposed
persons
of
our
nations
,
as
well
as
of
theirs
and
others
,
that
to
gaine
,
would
adventure
the
breache
of
any
law
:
but
as
long
as
they
found
her
Majesty
so
willing
to
do
justice
upon
such
offenders
,
they
had
no
reason
to
charge
her
with
it
,
either
in
honor
or
otherwise
:
but
let
them
make
proof
of
these
accusations
,
and
they
shall
see
the
offenders
punished
with
all
rigour
according
to
justice
.
Nay
,
said
he
,
it
is
that
we
most
complain
of
,
for
we
can
get
no
justice
done
in
England
,
and
repeated
the
words
point
da
tout
twice
or
thrice
.
Then
I
said
I
perceived
the
informations
he
had
received
proceeded
more
of
passion
than
truth
,
and
that
I
would
disprove
them
.
And
therewith
I
pulled
out
the
certificat
I
received
from
the
commissioners
,
of
the
causes
they
had
done
justice
in
since
my
coming
over
,
which
being
in
latin
,
I
delivered
him
to
reade
.
When
he
had
read
a
little
of
it
,
finding
it
to
be
very
particular
,
and
to
carry
good
credit
,
he
desired
me
to
give
him
a
coppy
of
it
,
that
he
might
send
it
to
their
Ambassador
,
for
he
had
received
contrary
information
from
him
.
But
by
this
means
he
began
to
be
calmer
than
before
,
and
said
,
he
did
assure
himself
of
her
Majesty's
princely
disposition
to
have
justice
done
,
but
he
feared
it
was
hindred
by
some
of
her
ministers
,
that
either
had
interest
in
these
matters
themselves
,
or
favoured
those
that
had
.
I
prayed
him
to
confirme
that
persuasion
he
had
,
of
her
Majesty's
princely
intention
that
way
/
and
to
be
further
assured
from
me
,
that
her
royal
purpose
being
known
,
there
was
no
minister
of
hers
,
that
ether
durst
or
could
impeach
it
.
But
they
must
not
measure
justice
by
the
partial
report
of
the
parties
,
nor
the
passionate
information
of
such
as
would
be
paied
with
no
reason
.
If
they
would
have
patience
,
and
suffer
matters
to
have
their
due
examinations
,
I
would
undertake
they
should
have
absolute
justice
in
the
end
.
And
to
that
purpose
I
offred
to
employ
all
the
credit
and
means
that
my
place
did
afford
me
,
provided
they
did
bere
correspond
with
the
like
towards
us
;
for
otherwise
we
were
not
more
obliged
in
justice
or
honor
to
them
,
than
they
to
us
.
After
this
we
spoke
of
the
third
point
touching
the
money
,
wherein
he
acknowledged
(
as
he
had
often
done
before
)
that
the
King
was
bound
to
have
a
great
regard
of
her
Majesty's
occasions
,
and
to
give
her
all
the
satisfaction
his
estate
would
bear
.
But
what
that
was
he
knew
not
,
as
not
medling
at
all
with
his
finances
,
nether
had
the
King
made
known
his
yet
purpose
unto
him
.
I
pressed
much
that
I
might
receive
an
answer
,
for
that
it
might
import
her
Majesty
much
for
some
of
her
resolutions
.
And
I
prayed
him
to
remember
,
that
since
we
made
so
straight
alliance
with
France
,
the
profit
.
And
benefit
of
it
bad
been
wholly
theirs
,
and
the
charge
and
burden
ours
.
And
it
must
be
confessed
that
the
Queen
my
Mistress
had
discharged
the
part
of
a
true
and
perfect
friend
and
confederate
,
and
that
her
succours
had
been
a
principal
cause
of
the
preservation
of
this
estate
.
That
now
they
were
in
peace
and
rest
,
and
we
in
war
,
her
Majesty
was
to
look
for
some
recompence
of
her
kindenes
,
and
some
fruit
of
the
alliance
.
That
less
could
not
be
expected
by
her
,
nor
offered
by
them
,
than
that
which
she
demandd
,
which
was
but
the
repayment
of
some
of
that
money
which
she
had
so
frankly
lent
the
King
,
and
disbursed
for
him
in
his
great
necessity
.
If
this
were
denied
,
she
could
little
hope
for
any
greater
matter
;
and
she
should
have
just
cause
given
her
to
repent
her
,
that
she
had
left
a
more
ancient
and
constant
amity
to
embrace
this
,
wherein
there
was
less
assurance
,
I
shewed
him
the
note
of
the
debt
since
the
year
1581
,
which
amounts
to
a
million
and
three
hundred
and
forty
thousand
crowns
,
or
thereabout
.
I
required
that
all
above
a
million
might
be
paied
this
year
,
which
being
done
,
I
was
in
hope
her
Majesty
should
be
inabled
to
make
so
good
an
end
of
her
business
,
as
she
should
have
less
need
to
importunate
the
King
hereafter
,
and
would
perhaps
be
contented
to
receive
the
rest
with
more
commodity
to
him
.
I
remembred
unto
him
also
,
that
the
assignations
which
were
made
unto
her
Majesty
of
the
customs
of
Rouen
and
Newhaven
,
were
found
as
he
had
answered
,
to
be
engaged
before
to
others
,
which
among
private
men
had
been
a
matter
male
fidei
.
And
therefore
that
the
King
was
doubly
bound
in
honor
,
either
to
consign
those
into
her
hands
,
according
to
his
contract
,
or
to
content
her
some
other
way
.
To
all
this
he
answered
,
he
would
relate
my
speech
to
the
King
,
and
give
me
such
answer
as
he
should
be
commanded
.
The
next
day
I
went
to
Monsieur
de
Rosny
,
and
repeated
in
effect
what
I
had
before
said
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
and
added
,
that
I
was
persuaded
God
had
not
advanced
him
to
that
place
of
honor
and
authoritie
that
he
bears
in
this
kingdom
only
for
his
own
good
,
but
to
the
end
also
,
that
both
the
King's
subjects
and
allies
of
the
religion
,
should
reap
some
fruit
and
comfort
by
it
.
That
no
man
knew
better
than
he
,
how
profitable
her
Majesty's
friendship
hath
been
both
to
the
King's
estate
in
General
,
and
to
the
cause
of
religion
in
particular
;
and
that
she
thought
she
might
chalenge
thereby
an
interest
in
him
,
and
those
which
were
affected
that
way
.
I
prayed
him
not
to
difappoint
her
expectation
,
and
seeing
he
had
so
good
an
occasion
offred
him
to
gaine
the
friendship
of
a
great
Princess
,
(
which
had
both
power
and
will
to
requite
them
that
deserved
well
of
her
,)
I
prayed
him
not
to
neglect
it
,
for
it
could
not
but
be
of
great
use
to
him
in
all
events
.
I
put
him
in
mind
of
that
himself
had
told
me
,
that
if
the
Spanish
army
had
come
on
this
last
sommer
,
the
King
had
willed
him
to
make
shift
for
300000
crowns
to
have
sent
to
her
Majesty
;
and
I
said
,
he
was
much
better
able
to
do
it
now
than
at
that
time
,
having
the
revenue
of
this
year
to
come
in
,
and
that
her
Majesty's
occasions
to
use
it
were
nothing
less
;
and
therefore
prayed
him
to
be
a
means
she
might
enjoy
now
,
that
good
satisfaction
intended
her
then
.
His
answer
was
full
of
good
words
and
respect
towards
her
Majesty
,
and
in
kinder
sort
than
his
manner
is
.
But
he
said
he
thought
the
King
could
not
depart
with
so
great
a
sum
this
year
,
yet
assured
me
he
would
do
what
lay
in
him
,
to
further
her
Majesty's
contentment
.
In
the
end
he
discovered
a
matter
unto
me
,
which
I
perceive
hath
lyen
upon
his
stomach
some
time
.
He
said
,
he
understood
the
Queen
was
offended
,
that
*
his
brother
did
not
see
her
when
he
came
through
England
,
whereof
he
said
he
was
the
cause
.
For
when
he
understood
that
the
Queen
had
refused
to
suffer
him
to
perform
the
ceremony
for
the
King's
installation
,
as
it
was
intended
;
he
,
conceiving
it
grew
upon
some
dislike
or
misprize
(
for
so
he
termed
it
)
of
his
brother
or
him
,
had
written
unto
him
to
return
some
other
way
.
And
added
,
that
for
for
the
performance
of
such
a
ceremony
,
his
brother
might
very
well
have
been
accepted
;
for
though
there
were
many
richer
in
France
than
they
,
yet
there
were
few
of
better
house
or
blood
,
being
descended
of
a
King
of
France
.
I
told
him
the
matter
was
never
directly
propounded
to
her
Majesty
,
nor
refused
by
her
.
But
their
Ambassador
having
let
fall
some
doubtfull
speeches
,
as
if
the
King
meant
to
discharge
that
ceremony
by
one
that
should
do
it
obiter
,
and
not
be
sent
purposely
:
it
was
wished
by
some
of
his
Majesty's
council
to
whom
he
spoke
it
,
that
the
King
would
not
use
greater
neglect
in
it
than
his
predecessors
had
done
,
who
bad
allwaies
sent
folemnly
and
purposely
about
it
.
And
that
if
the
Queen
were
grieved
that
he
saw
her
not
in
his
passage
through
England
,
it
was
only
because
she
was
deprived
of
the
means
to
do
him
that
honor
which
she
intended
to
do
him
,
for
his
respect
;
of
whose
good
will
and
affection
to
her
affairs
,
she
doth
as
much
desire
to
be
assured
,
as
of
any
mans
in
France
.
He
toke
my
speech
well
,
and
seemed
to
be
very
well
satisfied
,
and
prayed
me
to
assure
her
Majesty
,
that
he
was
her
humble
Servant
,
and
would
be
as
glad
to
do
her
any
acceptable
service
as
to
his
own
Master
.
Notwithstanding
I
dare
not
assure
you
of
any
great
summe
this
year
,
but
some
reasonable
portion
I
hope
will
come
about
midfommer
,
and
sooner
I
doubt
there
will
be
nothing
had
,
for
the
King
will
receive
the
first
quarter
himself
.
The
matter
of
the
Marquisat
of
Saluces
is
not
yet
accorded
.
The
King
demands
so
much
in
exchange
,
as
the
last
speech
hath
been
,
that
the
Duke
would
rather
yield
up
the
Marquisat
upon
some
conditions
concerning
Geneva
,
which
the
King
yet
refuses
absolutely
to
assent
unto
;
so
as
the
opinion
was
,
within
these
two
days
,
that
the
Duke
would
depart
without
any
agreement
.
But
yesterday
and
this
day
they
have
mett
againc
,
but
concluded
nothing
that
is
yet
known
.
The
Duke
hath
caused
some
to
be
spoken
with
,
that
he
understands
have
access
to
me
,
to
learn
certainly
whether
the
Queen
intendeth
in
truth
to
make
peace
with
Spain
or
no
.
I
suppose
he
imagines
,
if
that
King
had
peace
with
us
,
be
might
be
the
easier
drawn
to
embrace
his
defence
.
But
other
motion
,
or
offer
of
any
compliment
he
hath
not
made
unto
me
,
therefore
I
refrayne
likewise
to
do
any
to
him
;
interpreting
her
Majesty's
commandment
and
direction
,
in
your
letter
of
the
9th
of
Jan
.
In
that
since
:
and
the
like
for
my
conference
with
g
.
142
The
Spanish
Ambassador
,
from
whom
I
have
had
no
more
since
the
first
motion
by
d
.
100
The
Duke
de
Bouillon
.
The
Spanish
Ambassador
hath
delivered
lately
54
articles
of
doleances
to
the
council
here
,
most
of
them
touching
the
King's
intelligence
under-hand
with
the
states
;
and
namely
,
his
toleration
of
their
placerd
against
trading
into
Spain
,
and
their
actual
impeaching
of
it
.
There
are
ambassadors
come
hither
both
from
the
Marquis
of
Brandenburg
,
and
the
Cardinal
of
Lorraine
;
each
seeking
to
win
the
King's
favor
,
or
at
least
not
to
have
him
averse
,
in
their
contention
about
the
bishopric
of
Strasbourg
.
Which
being
once
composed
,
by
an
arbitrary
sentence
of
the
Emperor's
which
divided
the
profit
and
revenue
between
them
,
is
now
revived
by
those
of
Lorraine
,
that
are
not
satisfied
with
the
partition
,
but
would
enlarge
their
portion
.
The
treaty
between
the
Turk
and
the
Emperor
is
continued
by
some
persons
,
that
go
between
the
governors
of
the
Emperor's
frontiers
,
and
Effraim
bassa
;
but
there
are
no
deputies
yet
assembled
about
it
.
The
last
meeting
was
broken
,
upon
a
fear
the
deputies
had
conceived
ech
of
other
,
of
some
treachery
intended
,
and
not
upon
any
difficulties
in
the
treaty
,
or
commandment
of
their
masters
:
so
as
it
is
probable
they
may
come
to
some
accord
.
But
the
Christians
complain
,
that
during
this
parley
of
peace
,
the
Tartars
,
by
the
Turk's
procurement
,
have
entered
upper
Hungary
and
done
great
spoil
there
,
and
carryed
away
many
prisoners
,
which
they
require
to
be
restored
before
they
enter
into
further
treaty
.
Of
the
revolt
in
Caramania
,
we
hear
that
the
heads
of
the
rebellion
,
having
by
their
infolencies
and
oppreffions
lost
the
hearts
of
the
multitude
,
which
favoured
them
at
the
first
,
have
been
since
forced
by
the
bassa
that
pursued
them
to
quitt
the
field
,
and
to
betake
themselves
to
some
towns
where
they
are
now
befieged
.
So
as
it
is
thought
that
matter
will
have
a
speedy
end
,
or
rather
that
it
is
ended
already
.
The
georgians
,
who
it
was
conceived
would
have
stirred
likewise
upon
such
an
opportunity
,
have
kept
themselves
quiett
,
and
moved
not
at
all
.
This
King
hath
taken
it
very
offensively
at
the
states
hands
,
that
their
ships
of
war
have
staid
certain
French
ships
that
were
going
into
Calais
laden
with
salt
and
wine
,
which
they
refuse
to
release
till
they
have
paied
a
certain
exaction
which
they
require
,
under
the
name
of
licences
.
The
reason
that
moves
the
states
to
such
a
resolution
,
I
understand
to
be
this
:
they
find
that
the
provinces
subject
to
the
Archduke
,
have
sought
to
establish
at
Calais
a
staple
of
all
commodities
which
they
want
,
and
which
they
were
wont
to
be
furnished
of
from
Holland
and
Zeeland
;
and
upon
that
hope
principally
,
they
adventured
to
break
of
all
commerce
with
the
united
provinces
,
which
otherwise
they
could
not
have
wanted
.
And
they
are
persuaded
,
that
if
they
be
disappointed
of
that
means
of
furnishing
themselves
from
Calais
,
they
will
be
enforced
to
renew
the
commerce
,
and
take
licences
of
the
states
,
as
heretofore
they
have
done
;
which
will
be
very
beneficial
unto
them
,
and
make
them
the
better
to
subsist
in
their
defence
.
And
having
dealt
with
the
King
to
be
contented
with
it
,
and
finding
him
and
his
council
absolutely
to
refuse
it
,
(
though
the
last
King
as
they
say
gave
secret
confent
unto
it
)
they
have
taken
a
resolution
to
impeach
this
staple
at
Calais
of
themselves
,
or
at
least
they
intend
to
exact
that
commodity
by
means
of
it
,
which
they
know
they
should
make
otherwise
.
The
King
and
his
council
have
been
very
bitter
with
their
Agent
here
about
it
,
and
threaten
not
only
to
withdrawn
the
French
which
are
there
,
and
all
other
assistance
,
but
to
declare
war
against
them
,
and
to
banish
them
wholly
from
trading
in
France
.
Notwithstanding
,
I
do
not
find
but
they
mean
to
persist
in
their
course
:
and
these
men
begin
to
be
more
calme
(
as
their
nature
is
)
finding
the
other
resolute
,
and
are
contented
to
hearken
to
some
overtures
of
dividing
the
profit
that
shall
be
made
of
these
licences
.
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
in
speech
of
this
matter
with
r
.
165
The
states
Agent
,
said
the
Queen
would
have
attempted
such
a
matter
,
to
have
barred
the
King's
subjects
from
trading
into
Spain
,
by
staying
and
taking
them
at
sea
;
but
that
the
King
would
not
endure
it
,
and
would
rather
have
declared
war
against
her
;
which
speech
I
could
not
but
note
,
and
thought
good
to
advertise
.
I
received
a
letter
from
the
lords
of
the
council
of
the
27th
of
November
,
but
not
delivered
me
till
the
6th
of
January
,
whercin
their
lordships
will
me
to
deal
with
the
King
about
the
proclamation
of
the
Rochellers
,
forbidding
any
Englishman
to
remain
in
their
town
above
four
months
.
Before
I
moved
the
King
in
the
matter
,
I
thought
good
to
speak
with
a
gentleman
that
remain
here
in
court
continually
for
the
affairs
of
them
of
Rochelle
and
others
of
the
religion
of
Poitou
;
who
understanding
of
it
,
hath
given
me
some
hope
of
accommodating
the
matter
otherwise
,
and
prayed
me
to
forbear
to
deal
with
the
King
in
it
,
till
he
had
written
and
received
answer
from
Rochelle
,
for
which
he
required
20
dates
.
The
term
is
almost
expired
,
and
if
I
receive
not
contentment
by
his
answer
,
I
will
presently
move
the
King
about
it
.
From
Mr
.
Edmonds
I
have
heard
nothing
since
he
went
from
Calais
;
but
I
hear
by
other
means
,
that
he
hath
had
twice
or
thrice
audience
,
is
very
well
entertained
,
and
shall
accompany
the
Archduke
to
Cambrai
.
The
King
is
advertised
from
his
Ambassador
in
that
court
,
that
the
Queen
desires
to
have
that
treaty
in
England
,
but
that
they
will
not
yeeld
,
but
desire
rather
to
have
it
here
in
France
.
I
send
your
honor
here
enclosed
a
letter
I
received
from
Bayonne
.
And
so
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
most
,
&
c

Sir

to
Mr

Secretary

Sir
,
Paris
27th
Jan
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
It
may
please
you
to
remember
that
I
wrote
unto
you
from
Blois
,
in
recommendation
of
one
John
Mangas
of
Olonne
,
who
complained
,
that
a
ship
of
his
called
la
catholique
,
was
taken
by
one
Mr
.
Morgan
,
and
detained
contrary
to
a
sentence
given
by
the
commissioners
in
his
favor
.
As
he
reports
his
cause
,
it
caryeth
a
very
evil
shew
of
apparent
injustice
,
and
gives
an
evil
taste
of
our
proceeding
here
.
There
be
some
men
of
quality
interested
in
the
cause
,
which
let
not
to
fpredd
their
discontentment
to
our
disadvantage
.
I
have
written
to
the
commissioners
the
state
of
the
complaint
,
as
he
reportes
it
,
and
have
prayed
them
to
clear
her
Majesty's
honor
and
their
own
reputations
in
it
.
I
beseech
your
honor
to
recommend
the
cause
earnestly
unto
them
,
that
all
mouthes
may
be
stopped
,
and
her
Majesty's
proceeding
may
be
juftified
to
be
,
as
it
hath
been
alwaies
,
most
just
and
princely
.
So
shall
I
have
also
the
better
occasion
to
urge
satisfaction
in
the
behalf
of
her
Majesty's
subjects
that
be
grieved
in
the
like
kind
.
And
so
shall
the
amitic
so
much
desired
,
between
their
two
majesties
and
their
subjects
be
best
preserved
.
And
thus
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
very
,
&
c
.
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
17th
Feb
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
shall
not
need
to
trouble
your
honor
much
at
this
time
,
seeing
this
gentleman
was
present
at
those
audiences
I
had
since
his
coming
,
and
can
very
sufficiently
relate
what
passed
between
the
King
and
us
in
them
.
For
the
place
required
for
the
commissioners
to
meet
in
,
it
is
very
frankly
accorded
,
with
offer
of
Dieppe
or
Abbeville
if
we
list
;
because
it
is
conceived
Boulogne
will
scarce
afford
good
commodity
for
the
trayne
.
The
King
had
conceived
a
jealoufy
,
as
if
we
had
entertained
him
but
with
shewes
of
formalities
,
and
had
been
agreed
in
the
mean
time
in
the
substance
of
the
treaty
,
which
he
seemed
to
take
offensively
;
but
in
the
end
both
he
and
his
council
remained
well
satisfied
.
At
our
first
audience
,
upon
fresh
advertisement
brought
me
of
the
proceeding
of
the
practize
to
banish
our
clothes
,
I
dealt
directly
with
him
in
it
,
because
I
had
received
but
a
flight
and
doubtfull
answer
from
the
Chancellor
and
monf
.
Villeroy
,
when
I
sent
unto
them
about
it
.
His
answer
was
good
,
that
I
had
not
seen
him
hitherto
to
do
any
thing
rashly
to
the
prejudice
of
his
allies
,
nor
should
not
find
to
do
it
hereafter
,
especially
towards
her
Majesty
,
to
whom
he
renewed
his
former
professions
,
and
promised
that
I
should
be
made
acquainted
and
heard
before
any
thing
were
concluded
.
But
withal
,
he
spoke
somewhat
of
the
necessity
of
his
people
,
which
he
was
bound
to
regard
,
and
complained
of
the
wrongs
done
by
our
nation
to
his
subjects
,
and
want
of
justice
when
pursuit
is
made
.
To
the
latter
point
,
both
my
self
answered
as
I
had
done
before
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
and
Mr
.
Edmonds
particularly
related
what
had
passed
between
my
lords
of
the
council
and
his
Ambassador
at
a
conference
purposely
held
about
those
causes
.
Many
discourses
he
had
with
us
,
of
the
wants
and
weaknes
of
Spain
,
of
the
necessities
of
the
Archduke
,
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
of
the
Scottish
King
,
and
of
some
other
points
,
which
I
leave
to
him
to
relate
.
At
our
second
audience
I
remembred
him
again
of
his
promise
to
give
her
Majesty
some
contentment
in
the
matter
of
his
reimbursement
,
and
urged
an
answer
;
shewing
that
the
delay
of
it
was
almost
as
prejudicial
to
her
majesty
as
the
refusal
,
and
using
the
best
reasons
I
could
to
move
him
to
take
some
serious
consideration
of
it
.
His
answer
was
,
that
his
council
had
been
command
them
to
intend
it
seriously
.
Notwithstanding
,
the
Duke
of
Bouillon's
speech
to
Mr
.
Edmonds
promises
but
little
satisfaction
.
His
many
interlocutory
speeches
of
his
journey
to
Calais
,
and
inclination
to
see
her
Majesty
,
and
of
the
news
he
had
that
morning
received
from
his
Ambassador
touching
my
Lord
of
Essex
,
I
leave
unto
Mr
.
Edmonds
;
as
also
many
other
particulars
of
his
conference
with
these
men
here
,
and
of
the
Spanish
Ambassador
coming
to
my
house
,
and
his
discourse
with
us
;
assuring
my
self
I
cannot
commit
them
to
a
better
relation
than
his
.
And
my
self
having
an
infirmity
in
my
hearing
grown
upon
me
,
which
caused
me
to
lose
much
of
that
which
was
said
.
For
the
matter
between
the
Duke
of
Savoy
and
the
King
,
we
hear
that
this
day
they
are
accorded
,
that
the
Duke
shall
within
two
months
either
render
the
Marquisat
,
or
deliver
in
exchange
Bresse
,
and
the
rest
which
I
have
heretofore
signified
.
I
received
lately
your
honor's
letter
of
the
18th
of
January
,
by
which
I
am
inftructed
what
to
answer
if
I
be
dealt
with
about
the
complaints
exhibited
by
the
French
Ambassador
;
but
no
man
fpeaks
yet
to
me
of
any
such
matter
.
This
gentleman
is
well
furnish'd
with
all
the
occurrents
that
this
court
yields
.
Therefore
with
remembrance
of
my
humbleft
duty
,
I
conclude
and
rest
sent
by
Mr
.
Edmonds
.
Your
honor's
most
,
&
c

HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
20th
February
1599
,
o
.
S
.
I
send
this
Messenger
expressly
,
and
with
as
much
speed
as
I
can
,
to
let
your
honor
understand
,
that
yesterday
there
arrived
here
two
curriers
one
after
another
,
with
great
speed
out
of
Spain
:
and
I
am
secretly
informed
,
that
they
brought
news
ether
that
the
King
of
Spain
is
dead
,
or
desperately
sick
.
I
cannot
absolutely
say
it
is
true
,
but
I
received
it
from
a
good
hand
,
and
one
near
about
the
King
,
which
makes
me
bold
to
advertise
it
with
speed
.
I
will
be
careful
to
understand
the
truth
,
and
if
I
learn
certainly
ether
confirmation
or
controllement
,
I
will
dispatch
another
Messenger
presently
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
is
this
day
gone
out
of
this
town
towards
his
own
country
,
and
hath
time
till
the
end
of
may
,
to
resolve
whether
he
will
render
the
Marquisat
,
or
the
exchange
required
of
him
;
having
bound
himself
by
a
writing
signed
by
himself
,
to
do
ether
the
one
or
the
other
in
that
time
.
The
King
I
hear
hath
taken
some
discontentment
with
a
letter
which
the
Pope
wrote
lately
unto
him
,
both
touching
the
Duke
of
Savoy's
cause
,
and
the
restitution
of
the
Jesuits
.
In
which
point
,
he
hath
challenged
the
King
for
not
performing
bis
promise
,
seeing
be
hath
on
his
part
accomplished
as
much
as
was
desired
of
him
touching
the
King's
divorce
.
The
King
I
hear
made
a
round
answer
to
the
Patriarch
about
it
,
and
the
same
day
dealt
as
sharply
with
the
states
Agent
,
upon
fresh
complaint
to
him
of
more
ships
taken
by
their
men
of
war
upon
the
coast
of
Calais
.
The
last
letters
I
fawe
out
of
Spain
,
made
mention
that
the
King
was
going
into
Portugal
,
and
that
the
Adelantado
was
committed
prisoner
to
his
house
at
Madrid
.
That
the
Indian
fleet
was
not
heard
of
,
and
therefore
not
looked
for
till
September
.
That
there
were
ten
or
twelve
galeons
prepared
to
go
meet
them
.
That
the
scarcitie
of
money
continued
there
very
great
,
but
that
the
an
1599
.
King
had
notwithstanding
,
given
order
for
twelve
hundred
thousand
ducats
to
be
sent
with
all
expedition
into
the
low-countries
.
That
the
Count
de
fuentes
was
established
governor
of
Milan
and
one
of
the
grandees
of
Spain
,
and
was
to
come
away
presently
with
4000
Spaniards
.
These
letters
were
written
in
the
beginning
of
their
February
,
but
the
King's
which
he
received
,
came
thence
as
I
am
informed
,
in
eight
daies
.
For
the
prohibition
of
the
manufactures
of
wooll
,
notwithstanding
the
King's
answer
and
his
counsels
made
to
me
and
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
I
do
much
doubt
it
will
proceede
.
And
I
am
credibly
advertised
of
levies
of
money
and
contributions
made
in
diverse
towns
of
this
kingdom
for
the
effecting
of
it
,
and
that
the
drapers
make
full
account
of
it
.
I
have
gone
as
far
as
I
can
in
the
stay
of
it
,
unleffe
I
should
descend
to
a
direct
protestation
against
it
,
as
a
breach
of
the
treaties
,
and
the
amity
depending
upon
them
,
which
I
dare
not
do
till
I
have
warrant
from
her
Majesty
.
But
assuredly
Sir
they
are
so
careless
and
confident
in
their
proceeding
with
their
allies
,
especially
with
us
,
that
if
they
be
not
very
roundly
dealt
with
,
they
will
adventure
upon
any
thing
for
their
profit
but
if
her
Majesty
will
but
follow
their
example
,
and
banish
their
wines
for
a
time
,
you
shall
see
them
humble
enough
,
and
drive
them
to
seek
to
you
:
for
those
countries
live
wholly
by
the
vent
of
their
wines
,
and
will
be
ready
to
rebel
,
rather
than
be
put
by
it
.
In
the
mean
time
,
the
Queen's
custom
will
not
be
much
impaired
,
for
if
French
wines
be
forbidden
,
there
will
be
the
more
Spanish
wine
spent
,
which
pay
as
great
an
impost
or
greater
than
the
other
.
And
moreover
,
such
a
president
would
greatly
establish
her
majesties
reputation
,
and
teach
them
to
proceede
the
more
respectively
with
her
,
in
all
things
els
.
I
am
bold
to
extend
my
self
a
little
beyond
the
bounds
of
my
charge
in
this
point
,
out
of
an
indignation
and
disdain
to
see
her
Majesty
so
ill
requited
,
where
she
hath
so
much
deserved
;
which
if
it
hath
carried
me
too
far
,
I
crave
pardon
.
Since
Mr
.
Edmontdes
departure
,
I
went
to
compliment
with
the
extraordinary
Ambassador
of
Venice
,
who
is
now
,
(
though
late
)
come
to
congratulate
the
peace
with
Spain
;
and
finding
him
lodged
right
over
against
the
Spanish
Ambassador
,
I
could
not
avoid
to
see
him
,
seeing
he
had
been
here
with
me
before
.
Our
speech
was
little
besides
compliments
,
and
that
little
was
in
generalities
,
in
commendations
of
peace
,
and
detestation
of
wars
.
I
would
willingly
have
drawn
from
him
what
the
points
were
they
meant
to
insist
upon
.
And
to
that
intent
,
when
he
prayed
God
to
dispose
the
hearts
of
both
sides
to
pass
by
all
difficulties
,
and
to
conclude
a
good
peace
;
I
told
him
,
that
they
must
then
dispose
themselves
to
require
nothing
unreasonable
nor
dishonorable
,
and
that
if
any
difficulty
arofe
,
it
was
in
all
apparance
to
grow
from
their
demands
,
not
ours
,
for
difficulties
did
grow
alwaies
from
particulars
:
and
I
did
not
conceive
that
our
side
were
likely
to
propounde
many
particulars
,
but
only
the
General
incidents
and
confequents
of
peace
,
and
the
particularities
were
rather
likely
to
be
proposed
on
their
part
.
Which
he
confessed
to
be
true
,
but
said
he
was
fully
assured
that
the
reasonableness
of
their
demands
should
well
testify
their
sincere
intention
and
disposition
to
peace
.
I
answered
that
that
being
so
,
there
was
no
doubt
to
be
made
of
the
like
disposition
in
her
Majesty
,
who
hath
by
sex
and
profession
was
ever
peaceably
inclined
,
until
she
was
by
too
great
provocations
forced
to
a
necessary
defence
of
herself
.
We
parted
with
kind
compliments
,
he
giving
me
the
precedence
in
his
own
house
,
as
the
custom
is
,
and
as
I
had
before
done
to
him
in
myne
.
This
is
all
I
think
sit
to
trouble
your
honor
with
at
this
time
.
And
so
,

honor's
very

O

S

The
report
of
the
King
of
Spain's
death
or
sickness
,
whereof
this
court
was
full
for
three
or
four
daies
,
beginnes
now
to
grow
cold
,
and
instead
of
that
danger
of
the
kings
,
they
pretend
to
have
advise
of
a
burning
sever
of
the
Queen
,
which
it
is
thought
she
will
hardly
escape
.
This
is
confessed
by
the
Spanish
Ambassador
,
and
avowed
unto
me
by
Mr
.
De
Villeroy
.
Notwithstanding
,
I
know
the
King
was
very
pleasant
upon
the
first
news
,
and
began
to
talk
of
the
recovery
of
Navarre
and
of
other
designs
.
So
that
many
do
yet
believe
the
former
report
may
be
true
,
but
that
it
is
covered
for
a
time
by
those
men
,
upon
some
purpose
.
The
opportunity
of
Sir
Robert
Drury's
return
,
is
the
cause
that
I
sent
no
Messenger
purposely
with
this
advertisement
,
(
as
I
promised
in
my
last
,)
hoping
it
will
come
by
his
means
in
reasonable
time
.
If
I
discover
any
more
certainty
of
this
matter
,
I
will
certify
your
honor
of
it
with
speed
.
The
King's
journey
into
Picardy
is
broken
,
and
instead
thereof
he
intends
to
take
the
diet
for
a
fortnight
or
three
weeks
,
for
some
of
his
old
griefs
,
which
are
growing
again
upon
him
.
I
understand
he
hath
appointed
the
Bishop
of
Boulogne
to
repair
thither
,
to
give
order
for
all
things
necessary
against
the
commissioners
coming
.
I
would
gladly
urge
an
answer
about
the
Queen
money
before
the
treaty
be
concluded
,
and
for
that
purpose
I
have
desired
audience
any
time
these
eight
days
,
but
am
still
put
off
;
which
makes
me
fear
that
they
linger
purposely
,
till
they
see
what
will
become
of
the
treaty
.
I
am
often
solicited
by
our
merchants
,
to
deal
with
the
King
and
his
council
about
the
abatement
of
the
impositions
,
raised
upon
our
commodities
since
the
treaty
of
Blois
.
But
because
it
is
a
point
that
depends
upon
that
treaty
,
which
is
offred
here
to
be
renewed
,
I
think
not
sit
to
meddle
with
that
particular
alone
,
but
to
include
it
in
the
General
confirmation
of
the
treaty
,
if
it
be
her
Majesty's
pleasure
to
renew
it
.
I
beseech
you
Sir
therefore
I
may
understand
her
resolution
in
it
,
and
how
I
shall
otherwise
satisfy
the
importunate
desire
of
our
merchants
,
who
think
me
very
negligent
in
my
charge
,
that
I
have
so
long
deferred
to
solicit
that
point
for
them
.
Surely
somewhat
will
be
necessary
to
be
done
,
if
you
intend
to
continue
any
traffick
here
.
For
now
all
is
at
liberty
,
and
the
King
bound
to
nothing
;
the
treaties
that
concern
the
commerce
being
determined
,
and
that
of
Troyes
and
the
last
of
1596
which
be
only
in
force
,
ether
not
medling
with
that
point
at
all
,
or
in
such
generalitie
as
we
can
take
no
great
hold
of
them
for
our
benefit
.
The
unkindness
between
the
King
and
the
states
,
is
aggravated
by
the
continual
complaints
which
come
of
French
ships
taken
by
them
.
I
am
told
that
there
is
fresh
complaint
brought
hither
also
,
of
two
ships
of
Newhaven
sunk
by
some
of
her
Majesty's
ships
.
If
any
such
thing
be
,
I
beseech
you
to
direct
me
what
answer
I
shall
make
unto
it
,
for
I
make
no
doubt
but
they
will
expostulate
it
with
me
.
And
so
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's
most
,
&
c

Since
my

I
have
seen
a
letter
from
Madrid
of
the
7th
of
February
,
wherein
it
is
certified
,
that
there
is
a
caravel
of
Sinigaglia
arrived
,
which
affirms
that
the
Indian
fleet
is
at
the
Havana
,
and
expected
to
be
at
home
by
the
end
of
march

O

S

The
Earl
Gowrie
,
a
nobleman
of
Scotland
,
who
hath
spent
some
time
in
these
parts
,
is
purposed
to
return
home
through
England
,
and
desires
to
have
the
honor
to
kiss
her
Majesty's
hands
as
he
paffeth
.
And
because
I
know
him
well
,
and
have
had
good
communication
with
him
,
and
therein
found
him
to
be
of
very
good
judgement
,
and
exceedingly
well
affected
both
to
the
common
cause
of
religion
,
and
particularly
to
her
Majesty
,
and
that
which
may
concerne
her
honor
and
service
;
I
have
thought
good
to
recommend
him
especially
unto
your
honor
;
and
to
beseech
you
to
be
a
means
that
he
may
receive
that
honor
and
favor
that
he
is
worthy
of
,
that
so
he
may
depart
confirmed
in
that
good
devotion
and
respect
,
which
he
bears
already
towards
her
Majesty
.
If
your
honor
please
to
confer
with
him
about
these
alterations
feared
in
Scotland
,
I
believe
he
will
give
you
good
satisfaction
,
and
that
you
will
find
him
to
be
a
man
of
whom
there
may
be
excceeeding
good
use
made
.
I
have
given
him
my
passport
,
to
serve
him
till
he
come
to
her
majesties
court
,
in
as
ample
and
favourable
sort
as
I
could
.
The
rest
I
refer
to
your
honor's
good
favor
towards
him
,
whereunto
I
humbly
recommend
him
.
And

shortly
to
return

he
telleth

my

I
cannot
denie
him
.
But
you
will
be
pleased
to
have
regard
to
some
of
my

Right

S

I
am
bold
to
recommend
unto
your
honor
this
nobleman
of
Scotland
the
Lord
Hume
,
who
is
now
returning
into
his
country
,
and
minds
to
take
his
way
through
England
;
beseeching
you
that
by
your
means
he
may
have
a
passport
for
his
free
passage
,
and
receive
such
other
favor
,
as
her
Majesty
useth
to
extend
to
men
of
his
quality
.
It
hath
pleased
him
to
do
me
the
honor
to
visit
me
often
,
and
to
make
me
many
kind
offers
.
In
requital
whereof
,
I
would
be
glad
to
be
a
means
,
of
any
honor
or
favor
to
be
done
him
in
England
.
Wherein
because
I
know
your
honorable
disposition
to
be
very
prone
,
I
shall
need
to
use
no
more
words
,
but
will
only
present
my
service
unto
you
,
and
so
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
most
,
&
c
.
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
12th
mar
.
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
was
desirous
(
as
I
wrote
in
my
last
)
to
have
drawn
some
answer
from
the
King
in
the
matter
of
the
money
due
to
her
Majesty
,
before
the
treaty
of
peace
with
Spain
had
been
so
far
advanced
.
And
for
that
purpose
,
I
have
any
time
these
three
weeks
desired
audience
,
as
also
to
the
intent
to
have
dealt
with
him
about
the
proclamation
of
the
Rochellers
,
whereof
my
Lords
of
the
council
wrote
unto
me
,
and
to
have
procured
some
favor
to
poor
Captain
Thynne
,
who
is
imprisoned
here
.
But
I
have
been
continually
put
off
upon
one
pretext
or
other
,
and
sundry
assignations
disappointed
;
although
in
the
mean
time
both
the
Nuncio
,
the
Venetian
ambassadors
,
the
Scottish
Ambassador
,
and
the
Patriarch
,
have
all
had
audience
.
Which
is
a
kind
of
proceeding
that
argueth
small
affection
or
regard
to
her
Majesty
,
and
whereof
in
that
respect
,
I
cannot
but
be
sensible
,
and
have
thought
good
to
advertise
it
,
that
it
may
please
you
to
direct
me
,
how
I
shall
carry
my
self
if
these
courses
continue
,
and
what
resentment
I
shall
make
of
it
.
The
matter
is
evident
,
either
to
be
done
as
a
scorn
,
or
upon
design
to
avoid
the
answer
I
am
like
to
press
them
to
.
Both
are
injurious
to
her
Majesty
,
and
the
latter
a
kind
of
mockery
,
not
to
vouchsafe
her
an
answer
,
but
to
shift
her
off
by
these
delusions
.
I
have
occasion
,
and
will
enough
to
be
warm
in
this
matter
,
but
I
am
not
willing
to
presume
too
far
without
direction
,
which
I
do
therefore
humbly
desire
,
that
I
may
have
a
rule
to
guide
my
self
in
all
such
occasions
.
The
King
is
this
day
gone
to
Fontainebleau
a
hunting
,
and
promises
to
return
upon
Saturday
.
He
altered
his
mind
for
taking
the
diet
,
but
about
fifteen
days
since
he
took
physic
two
or
three
days
.
He
doth
undoubtedly
purpose
a
journey
to
Lyons
in
the
beginning
of
may
,
so
that
he
may
be
at
hand
when
the
time
expires
which
the
Duke
of
Savoy
hath
taken
,
to
resolve
either
to
deliver
up
the
Marquisat
of
Saluces
,
or
the
exchange
demandd
,
of
which
many
are
of
opinion
he
will
do
neither
.
And
that
opinion
is
confirmed
,
by
the
Count
de
Fuentes
coming
to
be
governor
of
Milan
with
5000
Spaniards
,
and
with
a
very
large
and
extraordinary
authority
and
good
store
of
treasure
,
to
be
provided
against
all
events
that
may
ensue
in
Piedmont
.
This
is
one
cause
of
the
King's
journey
into
those
parts
,
another
is
to
receive
the
Princess
of
Florence
,
whose
match
with
this
King
is
thought
to
be
secretly
concluded
by
the
grand
Duke's
Secretary
,
which
hath
been
here
closely
for
that
purpose
these
four
or
five
months
;
and
monsieur
de
Sillery
is
by
this
time
I
suppose
at
Florence
,
with
absolute
power
to
conclude
the
contract
there
publicly
.
In
so
much
as
they
begin
here
already
to
design
the
estate
of
her
house
,
and
appoint
her
officers
.
It
is
very
probable
,
that
the
King
will
marry
her
upon
her
first
arrival
;
so
that
if
her
Majesty
intend
to
send
any
nobleman
to
assist
at
the
marriage
,
(
as
her
use
hath
been
,)
it
will
be
time
almost
to
think
of
it
;
for
I
am
persuaded
the
Princess
will
be
at
Marseilles
in
June
at
the
farthest
.
But
I
will
endeavor
to
learn
the
certainty
of
her
coming
as
soon
as
I
may
,
and
advertise
it
forthwith
.
I
have
seen
letters
out
of
Spain
of
the
last
of
their
February
,
wherein
is
mentioned
that
a
caravel
of
advise
was
arrived
at
Seville
,
which
brought
word
,
that
he
left
the
Indian
fleet
on
this
side
of
a
place
called
Bermuda
,
and
that
it
would
be
arrived
in
all
likelihood
by
the
middle
of
march
,
the
windes
having
been
so
sit
for
their
course
,
and
so
strong
.
The
value
of
it
in
coin
,
bullion
,
and
other
merchandise
,
was
esteemed
to
be
sixteen
millions
.
That
Count
Fuentes
was
dispatched
for
Milan
,
and
that
D'Oria
attended
him
at
Barcelona
with
12
galleys
.
That
the
Nuncio
,
which
was
sent
thither
extraordinarily
about
the
matter
of
Final
,
was
now
to
remain
there
in
ordinary
,
and
that
the
Pope
seemed
to
be
grown
cold
in
that
matter
;
and
that
there
was
great
expectation
and
hope
of
the
peace
with
England
:
but
withal
,
some
fear
that
there
might
grow
some
prejudice
to
the
Christian
faith
,
by
the
free
access
and
conversation
which
the
heretics
were
like
to
have
thereby
into
those
parts
.
That
Don
Cristoforo
di
Mora
is
elected
viceroy
of
Portugal
,
wherewith
that
nation
is
much
discontented
,
pretending
that
that
dignity
ought
not
to
conferred
upon
any
but
a
Prince
of
the
blood
.
Here
is
arrived
out
of
Spain
on
Sunday
last
,
and
departed
yesterday
towards
Brussels
,
Fernando
Carrillo
,
a
Spaniard
that
hath
lived
long
in
the
low-countries
,
and
served
as
a
judge
marshall
in
their
armies
;
a
man
of
good
learning
in
the
law
,
and
otherwise
sufficient
,
as
I
am
informed
.
His
coming
is
as
I
understand
to
be
of
the
council
of
state
in
the
low-countries
,
and
one
of
the
commissioners
in
the
treaty
;
which
makes
men
conceive
it
may
prove
more
full
of
difficulties
than
was
expected
.
For
this
man
is
known
to
be
no
great
favorer
of
peace
,
and
withal
very
haughty
and
peremptory
,
like
a
right
Spaniard
.
Of
the
Queen
of
Spain's
sickness
or
recovery
,
there
is
no
more
news
come
since
my
last
.
I
received
lately
this
enclosed
from
Mr
.
Hawkines
out
of
Spain
,
and
likewise
the
other
from
Bayonne
.
I
am
informed
that
there
are
two
Irishmen
,
the
one
a
Lieutenant
called
Jenkins
,
the
other
an
ensign
called
Stanihurst
,
esteemed
good
soldiers
,
to
depart
shortly
out
of
the
Low-Countries
into
Ireland
,
with
the
Archduke's
leave
and
passport
.
The
states
have
at
length
suspended
their
proceeding
against
the
French
,
and
have
rendered
the
ships
they
had
taken
;
which
hath
pacified
the
King
and
his
council
,
who
were
greatly
exasperated
against
them
.
But
withal
I
understand
,
they
labor
still
by
request
to
the
King
,
to
hinder
the
staple
at
Calais
,
and
the
furnishing
of
their
enemies
by
that
means
,
which
they
are
in
hope
he
will
be
won
unto
by
entreaty
,
though
in
honor
be
could
not
indure
they
should
extort
it
from
bim
.
But
for
my
part
I
scarce
believe
they
will
obtain
it
,
because
I
see
6
122
monsieur
Villeroy
so
ready
to
traverse
their
designs
in
all
things
:
but
d
.
100
The
Duke
of
Bouillon
and
Monsieur
du
Plessis
,
with
others
of
that
side
,
do
what
they
may
to
counterpoise
the
balance
in
their
favor
.
The
princes
of
Germany
have
assembled
themselves
at
Frankfurt
,
and
given
hope
of
some
new
enterprise
this
year
in
the
states
favor
,
or
at
the
least
of
some
succour
both
of
men
and
money
.
But
there
is
a
fire
kindling
(
as
I
learn
)
among
themselves
,
which
if
it
be
not
warily
and
speedily
suppressed
,
I
fear
will
prove
very
dangerous
to
the
whole
party
of
the
religion
in
Germany
;
and
that
is
the
administrator
of
saxonie's
pretence
to
the
electorate
,
from
which
his
grandfather
was
dejected
by
Charles
the
5th
:
whereof
being
now
in
possession
,
as
tutor
to
the
young
elector
,
and
the
Emperor
favouring
his
claim
,
(
upon
design
to
nourish
division
among
the
protestants
)
it
is
thought
it
will
be
an
easy
matter
for
him
to
hold
it
,
which
cannot
but
engender
an
eternal
strife
between
the
two
houses
and
their
partakers
:
whereof
in
all
likelihood
the
other
side
will
prevail
,
to
the
ruine
of
them
both
.
I
have
heard
nothing
from
m
.
177
Rome
of
the
matter
I
have
entertained
there
;
only
l
.
163
(
The
person
I
employ
)
shewed
me
another
letter
from
the
same
party
,
of
fresher
date
than
the
former
,
(
but
yet
written
before
his
answer
he
made
could
be
arrived
there
)
wherein
he
desires
to
know
,
whether
l
.
163
My
Agent
will
take
the
matter
upon
him
,
willing
him
to
be
well
advised
,
because
he
fears
it
may
prove
an
action
of
danger
to
them
that
shall
deal
in
it
,
and
like
enough
to
prefer
them
into
the
rank
of
martyrs
before
their
time
.
But
we
expect
shortly
to
hear
from
thence
at
the
full
,
in
answer
of
that
he
wrote
,
upon
the
first
letter
.
Mr
.
Thirme
,
poor
gentleman
,
is
here
in
the
châtelet
,
arrested
for
a
ship
called
the
Holy
Ghost
of
St
.
Jean
de
Luz
,
which
Sir
Robert
Crosse
and
he
took
in
the
year
1591
,
in
that
voyage
wherein
the
Revenge
was
lost
.
Mr
.
Thynne
pretends
that
he
did
nothing
but
by
Sir
Robert
Crosse's
commandment
,
who
was
reere-Admiral
of
the
fleet
,
and
was
to
command
him
,
being
severed
from
the
rest
;
and
faith
that
he
brought
her
safe
into
England
,
and
presently
advertised
My
Lord
your
father
,
and
my
Lord
Admiral
,
by
whose
order
some
part
of
the
goods
were
sold
;
and
that
afterwards
upon
proof
made
,
that
the
ship
was
French
and
not
Spanish
,
there
was
restitution
awarded
both
of
ship
and
goods
;
but
that
the
ship
and
the
greatest
part
of
the
goods
were
cast
away
in
the
haven
by
mischance
,
after
she
was
out
of
his
charge
,
and
without
any
fault
of
his
.
Upon
which
consideration
,
when
the
owners
pursued
him
and
others
to
justice
in
the
admiralty
,
he
faith
he
was
discharged
of
it
.
All
this
we
allege
here
,
but
because
it
hath
no
other
credit
but
of
his
own
word
,
who
is
the
party
,
we
can
gett
little
help
yet
for
him
.
We
have
evoked
the
matter
before
the
council
,
where
I
labor
to
gett
him
enlarged
,
upon
his
juratory
caution
,
and
such
other
caution
as
he
is
able
to
give
,
(
out
of
his
wive's
estate
which
he
hath
recovered
here
)
that
he
shall
answer
the
suit
,
and
abide
and
perform
that
which
shall
be
judged
.
This
is
all
I
can
do
for
him
,
if
I
can
effect
that
.
They
require
caution
of
burgesses
,
or
men
known
here
to
be
of
sufficient
estate
;
but
the
summe
is
so
great
of
23000
crowns
,
that
it
deters
every
man
.
If
your
honor
will
be
pleased
to
do
him
any
favor
from
thence
,
either
by
the
Queen's
letters
,
or
otherwise
as
you
shall
think
good
,
you
shall
do
a
deede
of
great
charitie
;
for
surely
he
is
much
afflicted
with
it
,
and
is
in
danger
to
sustain
some
misery
.
And
so
for
this
time
,
longing
very
much
for
your
letters
,
which
I
suppose
to
be
upon
the
way
,
as
having
received
none
since
that
of
the
18th
of
January
.
I
most
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
most
,
&
c
.
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
,
after
the
King's
departure
to
Fontainebleau
,
he
sent
Monsieur
de
Liancourt
to
excuse
my
long
delay
for
audience
,
by
whom
I
am
assured
that
at
the
King's
return
I
shall
have
present
access
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
20th
march
1599
.
O
.
S
.
I
have
received
your
letter
by
jasper
of
the
second
of
march
,
with
an
advertisement
of
her
Majesty's
proceedings
with
the
audiencier
since
his
coming
into
England
,
for
which
I
humbly
thank
you
.
It
may
please
your
honor
to
remember
,
that
I
have
often
written
,
that
it
was
not
believed
the
King
of
Spain
had
any
sincere
purpose
to
make
peace
.
These
exorbitant
demands
,
to
my
simple
understanding
,
do
import
as
much
:
and
for
more
confirmation
of
it
,
g
.
142
The
Spanish
Ambassador
doth
affirm
directly
(
as
I
understand
both
by
6
120
the
King
himself
and
w
.
209
Charles
Paget
)
that
unless
the
cautionary
towns
be
rendered
,
they
will
make
no
peace
.
Withal
the
said
w
.
209
Charles
Paget
doth
assure
me
,
that
he
knows
by
very
good
means
,
that
there
are
three
ships
difpatcht
from
m
.
173
Spain
into
a
.
102
Ireland
,
with
money
and
munition
,
and
that
in
one
of
them
there
goeth
a
Knight
of
malta
,
called
the
grand
prior
of
Ireland
,
brother
to
c
.
132
Odonel
with
commission
to
consider
throughly
the
estate
of
the
affairs
there
,
and
to
make
some
contract
with
b
.
102
Tyrone
and
the
rest
,
who
offers
to
acknowledge
c
.
100
The
King
of
Spain
absolutely
,
and
to
do
nothing
without
his
direction
;
proffering
likewise
,
when
he
lift
to
make
any
attempt
upon
a
.
101
England
,
to
furnish
him
with
six
or
seven
thousand
expert
men
.
These
things
,
as
I
am
not
too
credulous
of
,
so
am
I
not
willing
to
despise
them
,
being
related
by
one
who
hath
good
intelligence
with
that
side
,
and
who
in
this
report
can
have
no
design
in
particular
.
For
as
of
one
side
he
delivers
his
conceit
,
that
they
intend
not
peace
,
but
with
great
disadvantage
and
danger
to
us
,
by
the
delivery
of
those
towns
,
joined
with
infinite
dishonor
;
so
doth
he
likewise
assure
me
on
the
other
side
,
that
peace
not
succeeding
,
c
.
100
The
King
of
Spain
resolves
to
set
up
his
rest
,
and
venture
his
whole
fortune
upon
us
:
which
notwithstanding
he
thinks
safer
for
us
to
endure
,
than
to
render
those
towns
,
which
would
in
the
end
make
them
masters
of
those
seas
,
and
inable
them
to
give
us
the
law
for
our
trade
as
they
would
.
This
advertisement
I
was
willing
to
relate
with
speed
,
that
if
you
find
it
to
concur
with
the
rest
of
their
proceeding
to
that
purpose
,
and
see
that
you
are
not
like
to
have
a
peace
with
safe
and
honorable
conditions
,
you
may
,
if
you
please
,
advise
in
time
,
what
use
or
advantage
may
be
made
of
6
120
the
French
King
whiles
the
matter
rests
doubtfull
.
For
undoubtedly
be
could
be
contented
it
were
broken
,
and
whiles
it
is
in
balance
,
would
perhaps
be
drawn
to
somewhat
,
which
afterwards
when
be
sees
it
broken
of
itfelf
,
he
will
hardly
be
brought
to
.
The
points
that
I
could
with
he
were
urged
in
are
these
;
to
renew
the
alliances
defensive
in
case
of
invasión
,
in
such
sort
as
they
were
made
between
King
Henry
the
8th
and
francis
the
1st
:
to
pay
the
Queen
a
certain
sum
of
money
yerely
,
till
his
debt
be
discharged
.
To
establish
our
traffick
in
France
,
with
such
freedom
,
abatement
and
exemption
from
impositions
,
as
the
treaty
of
Blois
appointeth
.
To
forbidde
all
armes
and
munition
,
to
be
carried
into
Spain
.
To
forbid
his
subjects
to
serve
at
land
or
sea
against
us
.
To
continue
his
assistance
to
the
states
,
that
they
may
be
enabled
to
fubfift
.
To
interpofe
his
credit
with
the
emperér
and
princes
of
Germany
,
to
restore
our
trade
there
.
To
do
the
like
in
m
.
175
Scotland
.
To
stay
such
practices
as
c
.
100
The
King
of
Spain
may
have
there
,
and
to
keep
that
part
in
good
devotion
.
And
lastly
,
to
ayde
the
Queen
in
Ireland
(
if
she
lift
to
require
it
)
with
two
or
three
thousand
good
shott
at
her
charge
.
Which
I
mention
,
because
it
seems
that
service
,
is
of
most
use
in
these
wars
of
Ireland
,
and
that
our
men
newly
levied
,
do
not
commonly
make
the
best
proof
that
way
.
There
is
a
report
here
of
a
preparation
of
diverse
gallies
in
Spain
,
that
shall
come
down
to
the
Sluce
and
join
with
the
rest
.
The
indian
fleet
is
returned
as
the
King
is
advertised
,
for
so
he
told
me
at
my
audience
some
two
daies
agoe
;
at
which
time
I
likewise
pressed
him
for
some
answer
in
the
matter
of
the
money
,
which
he
hath
promised
to
give
me
presently
after
the
holidays
.
I
dealt
with
him
also
about
the
ordinances
made
by
the
Rochellers
in
prejudice
of
our
merchants
and
trade
there
,
which
he
hath
promised
to
redress
.
I
gave
since
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
the
very
original
affiche
under
the
mayor
of
Rochelle's
hand
,
which
was
sent
me
from
thence
.
As
soon
as
I
have
any
particular
answer
in
it
,
I
will
advertise
my
lords
of
the
council
of
it
,
as
they
commanded
me
by
their
letter
.
I
have
been
careful
not
to
divulge
the
difficulties
grown
in
England
about
this
treaty
;
but
it
needed
not
,
for
I
found
monsieur
de
Villeroy
well
advertised
of
them
all
,
in
the
same
sort
your
honor
wrote
unto
me
.
Therefore
being
forced
to
acknowledge
somewhat
,
I
said
for
the
other
points
,
that
they
were
proposed
indeed
,
but
not
with
intention
(
as
it
seemed
)
to
be
insisted
upon
;
but
for
that
of
renewing
the
ancient
alliances
offensive
and
defensive
,
I
was
willing
they
should
conceive
here
it
to
be
much
stood
upon
by
the
other
side
,
but
yet
refused
by
the
Queen
,
and
so
like
enough
to
breed
the
greatest
difficulty
and
stoppe
in
the
treaty
.
The
advertisements
I
mentioned
to
come
from
w
.
209
Charles
paget
,
and
the
faithful
affection
which
he
seems
to
bear
in
sincerity
to
a
.
100
The
Queen
and
his
country
,
(
notwithstanding
the
cold
comfort
I
gave
him
lately
)
I
would
be
very
glad
might
breed
some
compassion
and
alteration
in
the
heart
of
a
.
100
The
Queen
.
Queftionles
if
your
peace
succeed
not
,
it
cannot
be
but
profitable
to
reclaime
and
recall
as
many
of
that
kind
as
sincerely
seek
it
,
and
have
any
worth
in
them
.
For
so
you
shall
difappoint
the
enemies
of
many
serviceable
instruments
which
they
intend
to
work
by
,
and
give
withal
some
contentment
to
those
at
home
,
of
the
same
disposition
;
with
whom
also
,
these
mens
persuasions
,
and
discoveries
of
the
enemies
tyrannous
intentions
,
under
his
faire
pretexts
,
will
more
prevail
to
assure
them
in
their
obedience
,
than
any
means
else
we
can
use
.
I
am
bold
to
discover
my
poor
conceit
in
the
General
,
although
I
am
in
a
manner
desperate
of
prevailing
in
this
particular
.
There
is
none
of
these
I
mean
,
but
offer
oath
of
absolute
obedience
to
the
temporal
government
,
and
to
employ
body
,
goods
and
life
against
any
invadors
,
renouncing
all
bennefit
of
difpenfation
,
or
other
evasion
from
it
.
There
is
a
fresh
complaint
come
to
this
court
,
of
12
of
our
ships
that
should
be
within
the
straits
upon
the
coast
of
Provence
,
which
are
said
to
spoil
and
take
all
men
.
The
letters
came
that
day
I
was
with
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
yet
he
said
nothing
to
me
of
it
;
but
d
.
100
The
Duke
of
Bouillon
gave
me
knowledge
of
it
.
They
say
the
King
takes
it
very
ill
;
as
I
hear
more
I
will
advertise
.
I
do
prepare
my
self
according
to
the
warning
your
honor
gives
me
,
to
come
to
Boulogne
,
and
shall
be
very
willing
so
to
do
,
so
as
I
may
wait
upon
your
honor
there
;
which
I
purposed
to
do
howsoever
,
if
you
came
over
.
But
otherwise
if
your
honor
come
not
,
considering
what
a
journey
I
am
to
take
presently
upon
my
return
from
thence
,
and
perhaps
before
the
treaty
be
finished
,
I
would
take
it
for
a
favor
to
be
excused
.
I
would
have
been
glad
after
so
extraordinary
a
charge
as
this
journey
to
Marseilles
will
be
to
me
,
to
have
found
her
Majesty
disposed
to
have
shortened
to
me
the
ordinary
time
of
residence
here
,
considering
my
estate
so
unable
to
bear
it
.
But
if
her
service
will
not
permit
me
to
attayne
that
favor
,
I
shall
depend
yet
with
comfort
upon
her
gracious
promise
at
the
two
years
end
;
and
be
bold
to
put
your
honor
likewise
in
mind
of
yours
made
me
to
the
same
effect
,
at
my
first
undertaking
the
charge
.
In
the
mean
time
I
will
endeavor
to
serve
her
Majesty
with
all
diligence
and
fidelity
,
and
to
my
ability
omitt
nothing
that
may
be
for
her
honor
or
service
.
And
so
for
this
time
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
most
,
&
c

HENRY
NEVILLE

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
2d
April
1600
,
o
.
S
.
Upon
occasion
of
many
probable
conjectures
,
that
this
intended
treaty
will
have
no
such
ready
passage
as
was
conceived
;
in
which
case
it
cannot
be
amiss
her
Majesty
should
know
,
what
assurance
and
foundation
she
may
make
of
her
allies
:
I
presumed
(
though
I
had
no
special
direction
so
to
do
)
to
press
the
King
at
a
late
audience
,
for
a
direct
answer
in
some
points
I
had
heretofore
moved
him
of
.
I
found
him
in
a
very
good
humor
,
and
very
willing
(
as
he
pretended
)
to
give
the
Queen
all
the
satisfaction
and
assurance
he
was
able
,
of
his
sincere
affection
towards
her
;
with
very
liberal
offers
of
his
person
and
all
his
forces
,
to
be
employed
in
her
defence
,
if
she
needed
.
And
for
the
points
I
had
proposed
,
he
willed
me
to
make
a
short
note
of
them
,
and
to
deliver
it
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
promising
to
advise
of
them
throughly
with
his
council
,
and
to
give
me
an
expedite
answer
.
He
fell
of
himself
into
discourse
of
this
treaty
with
Spain
,
wishing
that
her
Majesty
should
give
them
the
law
in
it
,
as
he
had
done
,
rather
than
receive
it
from
them
;
and
was
of
opinion
,
that
if
her
Majesty
would
stand
off
a
while
,
they
would
come
to
any
reason
.
He
found
great
fault
with
their
exorbitant
demands
;
and
told
me
that
his
opinion
was
ever
,
that
the
King
of
Spain
desired
not
peace
,
but
in
respect
of
the
Archduke's
necessities
;
which
for
the
interest
he
had
in
them
,
would
inforce
him
in
the
end
from
his
own
inclination
.
He
willed
me
to
let
her
Majesty
know
from
him
as
a
secret
,
that
he
was
certainly
informed
that
the
Archduke
and
Infanta
had
received
advise
out
of
Spain
,
that
the
King
had
been
desperately
sick
,
but
recovered
so
as
he
is
past
danger
of
his
life
;
but
that
in
this
sickness
of
his
,
it
hath
been
discovered
that
he
is
impotent
,
and
not
able
to
have
children
.
Whereupon
the
Marquis
of
Denia's
and
other
chief
men
(
despairing
belike
of
the
King's
long
life
or
likelihood
of
issue
)
begin
to
make
court
to
the
Infanta
,
and
to
infinuate
themselves
into
her
favor
by
prefents
and
all
serviceablenes
.
He
told
me
also
,
that
the
states
intend
to
set
out
another
fleet
this
year
,
but
not
to
make
any
long
journey
,
but
only
to
keep
upon
the
coast
of
Spain
;
and
seemed
to
be
very
affectionate
to
their
conservation
,
wishing
that
her
Majesty
,
though
she
made
a
peace
,
would
do
for
them
as
be
did
and
would
.
He
concluded
my
audience
with
many
protestations
of
his
sincere
affection
to
her
Majesty
,
and
his
desire
to
continue
that
straight
friendship
he
had
ever
held
with
her
.
This
day
I
delivered
the
note
of
that
I
had
proposed
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
(
whereof
I
send
a
coppy
)
who
hath
promised
to
procure
me
a
speedy
answer
.
In
the
three
latter
points
I
am
persuaded
you
may
have
any
reasonable
contentment
.
In
the
first
I
have
some
hope
,
though
it
be
feeble
.
I
have
not
found
monsieur
de
Villeroy
in
better
tune
at
any
time
,
which
confirmes
me
in
mine
opinion
,
that
if
her
Majesty
intend
to
make
any
use
,
or
to
draw
any
assurance
from
hence
,
this
is
the
true
time
for
it
,
and
the
opportunity
would
not
be
omitted
.
I
have
presumed
thus
far
of
my
self
,
which
although
I
had
no
direct
warrant
for
at
this
time
,
yet
I
hope
her
Majesty
will
interpret
it
graciously
,
considering
I
have
not
any
way
engaged
her
,
but
only
sought
to
engage
the
King
in
those
points
I
have
heretofore
had
commission
to
propose
;
that
so
her
Majesty
being
cleared
of
his
intention
,
may
resolve
the
more
freely
in
this
weighty
business
.
If
it
be
her
pleasure
to
found
the
King
in
any
of
the
other
points
I
mentioned
in
my
last
letter
,
I
beseech
your
honor
I
may
understand
in
time
.
The
King
is
of
opinion
,
that
the
meeting
will
be
put
off
yet
a
good
while
,
and
that
there
will
be
sending
to
and
fro
about
it
twice
or
thrice
before
it
be
agreed
on
.

Charles
paget
is
advertised
from
his
friends
at
Brussels
,
that
they
have
little
hope
there
now
of
the
proceeding
of
it
.
The
Scottish
Ambassador
here
told
me
,
the
like
was
written
from
thence
to
him
.
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
spoke
to
that
purpose
the
King
had
done
,
that
if
her
Majesty
beld
off
,
they
would
fall
in
their
demands
.
I
understand
by
him
,
that
the
King
intends
shortly
to
send
a
man
of
quality
into
England
to
be
installed
for
him
.
I
would
gladly
have
known
whom
,
but
he
said
it
was
not
yet
throughly
resolved
upon
,
yet
assured
me
it
should
be
a
personage
of
such
quality
as
we
should
well
like
of
.
Now
,
Sir
,
it
may
please
you
to
direct
me
with
some
speed
,
(
which
in
this
time
is
very
necessary
)
how
I
shall
further
carry
my
self
in
the
prosecuting
of
this
I
have
begun
,
or
any
thing
els
you
think
necessary
to
be
proposed
,
in
this
seasonable
time
.
For
the
renewing
of
the
treaty
,
(
in
my
simple
judgment
)
it
will
be
very
profitable
,
partly
in
regard
of
the
assurance
of
the
traffick
depending
upon
it
,
but
chiefly
to
engage
the
King
,
and
to
be
somewhat
retentive
to
him
,
that
he
be
not
carried
away
with
so
Maine
a
stream
towards
Rome
and
that
side
,
as
be
hath
of
late
seemed
to
be
;
but
rather
that
some
diffidence
might
be
renewed
by
this
means
,
between
him
and
that
side
:
which
I
would
hold
a
point
of
very
good
advantage
for
us
,
and
I
know
would
greatly
rejoyce
all
those
of
the
religion
in
this
realm
,
who
begin
to
apprehend
very
much
of
his
declination
in
affection
from
them
,
and
are
jealous
of
his
too
strict
combination
with
the
Pope
and
that
party
.
And
no
doubt
but
it
would
be
some
good
stay
to
the
motions
and
designs
in
m
.
175
Scotland
,
which
are
greatly
nourished
by
the
conceit
of
this
King's
alienation
from
us
,
and
consequently
of
the
declination
of
our
party
,
and
the
growth
of
the
other
.
If
there
be
any
opposition
made
,
in
respect
of
abatement
of
customs
that
must
follow
on
both
parts
,
I
suppose
you
may
rule
that
point
as
you
will
,
and
begin
a
new
from
this
day
;
leaving
the
matter
of
customs
and
impositions
,
in
the
same
state
it
is
in
:
for
they
have
reason
to
be
well
contented
with
it
,
having
raised
since
that
treaty
three
times
as
much
upon
our
commodities
,
as
the
Queen
hath
done
upon
theirs
.
But
I
think
rather
,
the
merchants
that
trade
hither
,
might
be
induced
to
make
good
unto
her
Majesty
,
that
which
she
should
lose
by
it
,
so
there
might
be
an
abatement
generally
of
all
that
hath
been
raised
since
that
treaty
,
and
some
certainty
established
for
their
trade
hereafter
.
For
the
complaint
I
made
against
those
of
Rochelle
,
as
well
upon
the
proclamation
sent
me
over
from
my
lords
of
the
council
,
as
likewise
upon
another
they
have
published
since
,
(
enjoining
all
forrain
merchants
upon
a
pain
,
to
bestow
the
fixt
part
of
the
value
of
all
the
merchandise
they
utter
there
,
upon
wine
of
that
country
and
other
commodities
proper
to
that
place
;)
monsieur
de
Villeroy
told
me
yesterday
,
that
the
King
had
written
unto
them
,
commanding
them
to
inform
him
upon
what
grownd
they
had
presumed
to
make
such
ordinances
of
themselves
without
his
privity
,
and
forbidding
them
to
put
them
in
execution
till
his
pleasure
were
known
.
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
complained
unto
me
,
(
but
in
some
milder
sort
than
he
hath
used
at
other
times
,)
of
great
spoils
done
by
some
ships
of
ours
within
the
streights
upon
the
coast
of
provence
;
and
the
King
himself
told
me
,
they
had
taken
six
or
seven
French
ships
.
I
gave
them
the
best
assurance
I
could
,
of
her
majesties
intention
to
do
good
justice
upon
such
offenders
,
upon
proof
made
against
them
;
and
said
that
these
outrages
might
perhaps
be
committed
by
some
pyrates
,
which
were
not
avowed
by
the
state
,
but
proscribed
and
proclaimed
for
such
,
which
were
entertained
as
we
understood
,
by
some
princes
of
Italy
.
And
therefore
I
prayed
him
to
suspend
his
conceit
,
until
it
were
known
who
were
the
actors
in
the
offense
.
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
said
we
did
our
selves
much
dishonor
,
and
made
our
nation
infamous
generally
for
such
mifdemeanors
;
and
alleged
,
that
the
signorie
of
Venice
had
upon
like
occasion
stayed
all
our
ships
there
;
that
the
grand
Duke
had
once
done
the
like
,
but
that
the
King
temporized
,
hoping
in
the
end
to
receive
some
satisfaction
.
By
occasion
of
these
ordinary
complaints
against
us
,
for
spoyles
committed
without
any
restitution
,
I
have
had
a
particular
conceit
which
I
will
be
bold
to
impart
to
your
honor
:
that
for
such
offenses
against
this
nation
as
fall
out
to
be
plaine
,
and
whereupon
it
will
be
sit
to
award
restitution
,
her
Majesty
should
take
the
benefitt
of
that
restitution
,
and
affigne
over
to
the
complainants
,
so
much
of
the
King's
debt
to
her
for
their
satisfaction
;
they
likewise
resigning
to
her
,
all
their
action
and
demand
against
the
offenders
.
This
course
the
King
cannot
except
against
,
and
by
this
means
either
he
will
become
less
eager
in
the
prosecuting
of
such
matters
,
or
at
least
her
Majesty
shall
receive
some
part
of
her
money
,
sooner
than
otherwise
she
should
do
.
Of
the
King's
journey
to
Lyons
,
we
are
not
yet
certain
when
it
will
begin
,
depending
much
upon
the
assurance
or
doubt
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy's
performance
of
his
treaty
;
whereof
*
I
send
your
honor
a
coppy
,
though
it
have
been
kept
here
as
a
very
great
secret
.
The
common
speech
is
,
he
will
be
at
Lyons
by
the
end
of
may
.
But
if
that
occasion
hasten
him
not
,
in
respect
of
the
Princess
of
Florence's
coming
,
he
shall
not
need
to
set
forward
so
soon
;
for
I
understand
she
stayeth
till
the
grande
duchess
be
delivered
,
who
is
desirous
to
accompany
her
,
and
who
is
not
yet
passing
five
months
gone
with
child
,
so
as
it
will
be
the
end
of
September
or
later
ere
she
can
arrive
;
before
which
time
the
King
will
have
six
galleys
ready
to
conduct
her
,
which
are
now
building
at
Marseilles
.
The
Duke
of
Guise
is
already
departed
towards
Provence
,
to
assist
at
the
Estados
held
there
,
and
to
prepare
for
the
King's
coming
,
and
the
entertainment
of
him
and
the
Princess
when
she
arrives
.
The
marshal
of
Biron
is
likewise
gone
into
his
government
of
Burgundy
,
and
Monsieur
Lesdiguières
into
Dauphiné
.
I
have
received
advertisement
from
sundry
hands
,
confirmed
also
by
monsieur
de
Villeroy
unto
me
,
that
there
are
25
gallies
prepared
in
Spain
to
be
brought
down
into
the
low
countries
as
soon
as
the
season
will
permit
it
:
and
for
that
purpose
perhaps
,
they
will
take
the
opportunity
of
this
treaty
.
But
if
you
see
no
likelihood
of
the
proceeding
of
it
,
I
hope
order
will
be
given
that
they
shall
not
have
too
easy
a
passage
.
I
remember
elliot
told
me
,
their
purpose
was
the
last
sommer
to
have
brought
their
gallies
to
milford
,
so
to
have
kept
both
the
channel
to
bristol
,
and
to
have
barred
the
passage
into
Ireland
.
We
know
not
what
design
they
may
have
now
,
but
one
thinks
before
there
be
any
meeting
,
it
would
be
accorded
on
both
sides
,
that
there
should
be
nothing
innovated
nor
attempted
by
either
,
during
the
conference
,
nor
in
certain
time
after
.
Sir
James
Lindsay
,
brother
to
the
Earl
of
Crawford
,
is
shortly
(
as
I
hear
)
to
go
for
Spain
.
The
Earl
Bothwell
is
already
gone
thither
,
having
received
but
only
400
crowns
of
the
Archduke
at
his
departure
,
to
carry
him
thither
.
Here
hath
passed
of
late
certain
challenges
between
Monsieur
du
Plessis
and
the
Bishop
of
Évreux
,
whereof
I
send
your
honor
copies
.
Whether
it
will
come
to
any
issue
or
nay
I
know
not
,
but
believe
rather
that
the
sorbon
will
binder
it
;
for
I
hear
they
interpofe
themselves
,
and
that
the
Nuncio
hath
likewise
excepted
against
it
,
as
done
without
the
Pope's
privity
.
In
the
mean
time
here
are
certain
gentlemen
,
whereof
one
of
good
account
called
saulle
marie
de
mont
of
normandy
,
which
forsook
their
religion
,
and
became
romanists
against
this
Easter
.
But
in
exchange
,
there
was
a
sur-intendant
of
the
finances
called
manpeau
,
of
good
account
,
that
declared
himself
of
our
religion
,
and
came
to
the
communion
on
Easter
day
..
Of
the
progress
of
the
states
forces
in
bommelerwaard
,
against
the
sorts
of
crevecoeur
and
St
.
Andrè
,
I
am
sure
your
honor
is
better
advertised
then
we
can
be
here
.
The
Archduke's
forces
are
drawn
into
the
field
under
the
command
of
done
aloyfe
de
velasco
and
the
Marquis
of
berghes
.
The
admirante
was
removed
from
that
charge
,
upon
an
intention
to
employ
him
in
the
treaty
:
but
by
the
coming
of
carillo
he
is
eased
of
that
pain
,
but
not
restored
to
his
former
place
,
at
which
he
is
much
discontented
;
and
the
matter
had
like
to
have
grown
to
a
great
quarrel
between
him
and
velasco
,
the
spaniards
taking
part
with
the
one
,
and
the
italiens
with
the
other
.
It
is
thought
if
they
can
reduce
the
mutineers
,
they
will
be
able
to
bring
into
the
field
some
15000
men
of
all
sorts
.
This
is
all
I
have
to
advertise
your
honor
at
this
time
.
And
therefore
I
will
here
conclude
most
humbly
taking
my
leave
and
resting
.
Your
honor's
most
,
&
c

HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
9th
April
1600
.
O
.
S
.
I
wrote
unto
you
lately
by
a
Servant
of
mine
own
,
advertiseing
you
what
propositions
I
had
made
unto
the
King
,
to
discover
his
intentions
in
the
most
material
points
I
had
negotiated
with
him
since
my
coming
;
that
so
her
Majesty
being
fully
cleared
what
account
and
assurance
she
could
make
of
him
,
might
resolve
with
better
ground
in
this
her
great
business
.
The
Saturday
after
I
dispatched
him
,
monsieur
de
Villeroy
came
unto
me
,
and
brought
me
this
answer
,
that
the
King's
intent
and
desire
,
was
not
only
to
entertain
all
former
treaties
and
alliances
made
with
her
Majesty
and
her
predecessors
,
and
namely
that
of
1572
,
but
to
fortify
and
renew
them
,
and
if
need
were
,
to
increase
them
:
protesting
of
the
King's
exceeding
affection
towards
her
Majesty
,
and
of
his
great
obligation
that
he
acknowledged
to
owe
her
;
and
therefore
made
offer
,
that
the
King
would
send
purposely
into
England
,
as
soon
as
it
should
please
her
Majesty
,
a
man
of
very
good
quality
;
to
conclude
,
and
perform
what
should
be
sit
,
touching
that
treaty
.
And
that
the
same
party
should
have
power
likewise
to
agree
of
the
time
,
and
forme
of
repayment
of
her
money
,
both
for
this
present
year
,
and
for
an
annual
sum
till
the
debt
were
discharged
:
and
likewise
to
determine
of
some
good
course
to
her
Majesty's
contentment
,
touching
the
two
last
points
contained
in
my
proposition
.
I
replied
,
that
the
answer
was
unperfect
and
uncertain
in
the
first
and
chiefest
point
I
had
proposed
,
touching
the
money
:
which
had
no
affinity
with
the
other
matter
of
the
treaty
,
which
I
had
always
severally
negotiated
,
and
wherein
the
King
had
engaged
himself
by
many
promises
to
give
me
a
speedy
answer
;
and
said
,
that
if
the
King
had
any
purpose
to
give
her
Majesty
contentment
therein
,
I
saw
no
reason
why
he
should
refuse
to
declare
it
,
his
estate
being
already
perfected
for
this
year
,
and
four
months
of
it
already
past
,
and
the
season
come
,
wherein
her
Majesty
might
with
reason
expect
,
rather
to
receive
money
then
to
debate
of
it
.
That
no
treaty
could
binde
the
King
to
the
payment
of
the
money
more
strongly
,
then
he
was
already
bound
,
nor
yet
make
him
more
able
to
do
it
.
That
by
performing
in
some
measure
the
contracts
he
had
already
made
,
he
should
give
the
Queen
more
cause
to
trust
the
treaty
he
offred
to
renew
:
whereas
otherwise
,
refusing
to
satisfy
herein
the
least
demand
she
could
make
him
,
(
but
wherein
she
had
greatest
reason
and
justice
of
her
side
,)
he
gave
her
little
cause
to
hope
of
favor
and
assistance
,
in
any
greater
measure
,
if
she
should
need
it
.
Therefore
I
prayed
I
might
receive
a
more
direct
and
plaine
answer
in
the
matter
of
the
money
,
without
which
I
should
have
little
comfort
to
relate
the
rest
.
And
for
that
purpose
I
desired
him
to
procure
me
audience
of
the
King
with
some
expedition
.
He
said
he
would
relate
my
speech
unto
the
King
,
and
procure
me
audience
if
he
could
.
The
next
day
I
solicited
my
audience
both
by
him
and
monsieur
de
gondy
,
but
could
not
obtain
it
.
The
morrow
after
early
the
King
went
to
St
.
Germans
,
promising
to
return
that
night
,
but
came
not
till
the
next
day
after
dinner
,
and
that
evening
departed
towards
Fontainebleau
,
to
be
private
and
take
the
diet
for
10
or
12
daies
.
Wherefore
seeing
I
was
not
like
to
have
access
unto
him
of
a
good
time
,
I
made
a
little
short
reply
in
writing
,
(
whereof
I
send
a
copy
)
upon
monsieur
de
Villeroy's
promise
to
present
it
to
the
King
,
and
to
procure
me
an
answer
.
This
morning
I
went
to
him
to
receive
the
answer
,
which
he
delivered
me
in
this
sort
;
that
whereas
I
desired
to
know
certainly
what
sum
of
money
the
King
would
pay
her
Majesty
this
year
,
he
could
not
absolutely
give
me
answer
,
nor
would
he
resolve
,
till
he
heard
an
answer
of
his
last
dispatch
he
made
into
England
,
which
he
hoped
would
give
her
Majesty
good
contentment
.
In
the
mean
time
he
prayed
me
to
have
patience
,
and
to
interprete
the
best
of
his
answer
,
both
in
mine
own
conceit
,
and
in
my
report
to
her
Majesty
.
Now
,
Sir
,
to
deliver
you
my
conceit
:
of
this
matter
,
this
it
is
,
they
are
infinitely
desirous
to
break
off
this
treaty
of
peace
,
or
if
that
cannot
be
,
at
the
least
to
bold
the
chief
place
and
interest
in
her
Majesty's
amity
:
and
for
that
purpose
are
willing
to
renew
the
treaties
.
But
they
are
jealous
that
her
Majesty
hath
no
intention
to
do
it
,
and
found
themselves
therein
,
(
as
monsieur
de
Villeroy
himself
discovered
in
speech
unto
me
)
upon
some
cold
answer
,
monsieur
de
boissise
received
in
that
matter
about
two
months
since
,
ether
from
her
Majesty
or
your
honor
.
And
I
learn
for
certain
,
and
by
good
means
,
that
monsieur
de
Villeroy
takes
all
this
that
I
have
done
,
to
proceede
from
me
,
of
office
as
they
term
it
,
only
to
found
them
,
and
draw
some
promise
of
money
from
them
;
which
done
,
her
Majesty
(
he
thinks
)
hath
no
purpose
to
renew
the
treaties
.
But
if
it
please
her
Majesty
to
clear
them
of
that
doubt
,
and
to
offer
to
renew
the
treaties
,
upon
condition
they
will
pay
her
such
a
sum
of
money
as
she
shall
think
sit
this
year
,
(
which
notwithstanding
will
hardly
be
above
200000
crowns
,
if
so
much
,)
and
assure
her
of
an
annual
payment
till
the
debt
be
discharged
;
ether
you
shall
draw
that
contentment
and
assurance
from
them
which
you
would
,
(
as
I
verily
believe
you
may
at
this
time
)
or
you
shall
gaine
another
point
of
no
small
advantage
,
namely
,
to
discover
that
you
are
not
to
trust
or
build
upon
any
thing
from
them
at
any
time
.
For
if
they
will
do
nothing
now
,
(
her
Majesty's
occasions
to
maintain
her
wars
,
and
their
own
interests
to
assure
her
amity
so
seasonably
requiring
it
,)
you
may
make
a
sure
conclusion
,
that
no
other
occasion
will
draw
it
from
them
.
And
account
which
happily
she
makes
of
this
King
.
But
as
I
said
,
I
rather
believe
the
former
:
and
the
better
to
draw
them
to
it
,
it
will
not
be
amiss
to
entertain
the
treaty
with
Spain
,
whether
you
think
to
conclude
it
or
nay
,
at
least
till
you
have
received
from
hence
the
satisfaction
you
look
for
.
And
though
you
should
both
intend
and
see
likelihood
to
conclude
a
peace
with
Spain
,
I
see
not
why
it
should
not
be
good
for
the
Queen
to
differre
it
so
long
,
till
she
might
both
assure
her
merchants
state
and
trade
here
,
and
draw
hence
peradventure
fifty
or
threefcore
thousand
pound
:
whereof
the
peace
being
once
made
,
she
is
in
danger
never
to
see
a
penny
.
They
will
not
offer
to
binde
you
not
to
make
peace
with
Spain
,
but
only
seek
to
assure
themselves
,
that
you
will
not
make
alliance
with
Spain
against
them
,
which
is
the
thing
they
extremely
fear
,
and
whereof
in
my
poor
opinion
they
would
be
held
in
doubt
,
till
you
monsieur
de
Villeroy's
sufpicion
,
and
overthrow
the
very
ground
of
all
.
Next
I
desire
to
have
an
answer
with
all
possible
speed
.
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
received
a
packet
upon
Monday
last
from
monsieur
de
boissise
in
four
daies
:
I
suppose
it
imports
somewhat
;
coming
in
such
haste
,
though
I
cannot
learn
what
.
The
last
week
before
he
brought
me
my
answer
,
he
sent
away
in
great
speed
,
which
made
me
likewise
send
away
my
Servant
at
the
same
time
.
I
understand
he
sends
again
to
morrow
,
and
therefore
I
have
dispatched
this
Messenger
,
willing
him
to
take
post
all
the
way
,
that
he
may
prevent
his
currier
if
it
be
possible
.
Your
honor
will
be
pleased
to
have
some
consideration
of
him
accordingly
,
for
sure
the
ordinary
allowance
in
that
case
will
scarce
defraye
the
charge
.
The
King
purposes
about
the
10th
of
may
to
begin
his
journey
toward
Lyons
,
which
argueth
that
he
is
not
fully
assured
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
though
his
Ambassador
here
entertain
him
with
many
faire
promises
.
Your
honor
sees
,
that
if
you
will
have
any
thing
negotiated
with
this
King
,
you
must
lose
no
time
.
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
told
me
,
if
the
Queen
would
,
the
King
would
send
within
these
three
weeks
to
renew
the
treaty
.
I
beseech
your
honor
,
if
you
will
have
any
thing
done
,
use
speed
in
directing
me
,
and
send
by
an
ordinary
Messenger
,
for
gentlemen
that
bring
packets
make
no
haste
.
And
so
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's
most
,
&
c
.

NEVILLE

The
party
whom
the
King
doth
purpose
to
send
to
be
installed
in
the
order
for
him
,
is
monsieur
de
chattes
governor
of
Dieppe
;
who
,
as
monsieur
de
Villeroy
doth
assure
me
,
shall
have
commission
to
treat
likewise
of
these
points
which
herein
have
been
mentioned
.
The
states
have
already
this
year
received
50000
crowns
here
,
and
are
promised
50000
more
in
June
next
,
with
assurance
also
of
100000
,
to
be
payed
them
before
the
end
of
this
year

HENRY

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
24th
aprill
1600
,
o
.
S
.
I
received
more
than
8
days
since
your
honor's
letter
by
Mr
.
Townshend
,
which
I
have
deferred
to
answer
hitherto
for
want
of
a
Messenger
.
And
this
being
the
first
opportunity
offred
,
I
would
not
omitt
it
;
but
was
willing
to
let
your
honor
understand
,
that
I
have
placed
Mr
.
Townfhend
in
a
minister's
house
,
where
I
am
sure
he
shall
be
very
well
used
,
and
have
many
helpes
both
for
the
language
and
any
other
studye
he
affects
;
which
he
could
not
have
elfwhere
.
The
charge
of
his
lodging
and
diet
will
be
ten
crowns
a
month
,
which
I
will
see
disbursed
from
time
to
time
as
it
shall
be
due
,
and
likewise
furnifh
him
for
his
other
wants
as
your
honor
requireth
.
I
will
be
careful
also
to
look
into
his
conversation
,
so
to
make
some
judgment
of
him
whether
he
be
sit
for
that
employment
that
your
honor
defignes
him
for
,
which
I
know
to
be
of
great
regard
and
importance
unto
you
.
Since
my
last
by
simons
,
there
hath
happened
no
great
matter
worth
the
advertising
.
The
King
hath
been
and
yett
is
,
at
Fontainebleau
in
his
diet
,
which
he
began
on
Friday
last
,
and
will
finifh
to
morrowe
;
during
which
time
there
have
been
some
offers
and
tenders
of
a
conference
between
monsieur
du
plessis
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Évreux
,
but
they
cannot
agree
of
the
form
and
method
of
it
.
The
journey
to
Lyons
holds
,
so
as
the
King
doth
appoint
to
keep
the
feast
of
the
order
du
St
.
Esprit
at
Moulins
upon
Whitsunday
,
having
now
transferred
it
from
new-years-tide
till
that
time
,
as
more
proper
for
it
.
We
begin
to
be
uncertain
of
the
Princess
of
Florence's
arrival
;
it
is
thought
the
King
will
not
let
her
stay
for
the
grand
ducheffes
companie
,
but
will
hasten
her
coming
so
,
as
she
may
be
at
Marseilles
in
June
or
July
,
because
he
would
make
a
speedier
return
into
these
parts
.
Her
dowry
will
be
about
400
thousand
crowns
,
besides
some
250
thousand
that
the
Duke
had
Lent
this
King
,
which
shall
be
drowned
as
parcel
of
her
portion
.
The
Count
Fuentes
soldiers
are
already
arrived
in
part
at
Genoa
,
and
himself
with
the
rest
is
expected
presently
.
He
comes
with
the
same
authoritie
that
the
Duke
d'alva
had
in
the
war
against
paul
the
4th
:
namely
to
command
all
the
Spanish
forces
,
(
if
occasion
be
)
in
Milan
,
Naples
and
Sicily
,
and
with
commission
to
levy
6000
Swiss
,
and
to
make
an
army
of
20000
men
,
if
need
be
.
He
brings
with
him
a
million
of
treasure
.
This
maks
all
men
(
as
I
wrote
,)
doubtfull
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
yet
his
ministers
entertain
the
King
with
good
words
,
and
in
outward
demonstration
he
seems
to
believe
them
:
yet
he
hath
already
sent
away
the
Duke
of
Vendôme's
company
of
horse
to
attend
him
at
Moulins
,
and
the
regiment
of
his
gardt
hath
order
to
march
that
way
likewise
.
There
is
an
embleme
that
paffeth
here
underhand
,
whereby
some
fhrewde
conceited
fellowe
would
represent
the
Present
state
of
France
.
The
devise
is
this
,
a
globe
supported
by
four
pillers
,
every
piller
reprefenting
a
principal
personage
,
as
the
one
the
chancellour
,
with
this
word
inutilis
aequitas
;
another
Monsieur
de
Rosny
,
with
this
word
,
utilis
iniquitas
;
the
third
the
Marshal
Biron
,
with
this
word
,
fidelis
temeritas
;
the
fourth
monsieur
de
Villeroy
with
this
word
prudens
infidelitas
:
upon
the
topp
of
the
globe
the
King
is
made
sitting
with
this
word
,
infelix
felicitas
.
After
great
and
long
instance
made
by
the
Pope's
ministers
,
the
King
hath
as
.
Fented
to
the
reception
and
authorizing
the
council
of
trent
in
this
realine
,
and
there
is
an
arrest
of
the
privy
council
already
given
for
it
.
Not
long
since
the
Chancellor
proposed
the
matter
to
the
presidents
and
chief
counfaillers
of
the
parliament
,
sent
for
purposely
to
his
own
house
;
requiring
them
in
the
King's
name
,
to
ratifie
that
which
had
been
done
by
the
council
.
Their
answer
was
,
that
it
was
a
matter
that
had
been
often
offred
unto
that
court
,
and
throughly
debated
,
but
allwaies
rejected
,
as
dangerous
and
derogatory
to
the
estate
,
liberty
,
and
honor
of
this
crown
;
and
that
they
saw
not
what
new
reason
could
be
alleged
for
it
now
,
more
than
had
been
heretofore
,
which
might
make
them
differ
in
judgment
and
opinion
from
those
that
bad
possessed
their
places
in
former
times
,
and
therefore
desired
not
to
be
pressed
in
it
.
The
Chancellor
in
the
end
replied
with
some
choller
,
that
if
they
would
not
do
it
with
their
good
wills
,
there
would
be
means
found
that
they
should
be
forced
to
do
it
.
Which
speech
of
his
was
found
very
ftraung
by
them
,
and
very
offensively
taken
.
Since
I
hear
,
they
are
commanded
to
certify
unto
the
council
,
all
the
asts
and
proceedings
that
have
been
formerly
in
that
court
,
touching
that
matter
.
It
is
a
thing
that
all
men
look
after
,
especially
those
of
the
religion
who
apprehend
a
very
great
disadvantage
by
it
;
although
it
is
not
interded
to
pass
,
but
with
refervation
of
the
libertye
granuted
by
the
King's
edict
.
The
King
hath
been
much
troubled
to
retire
a
promise
he
made
in
writing
under
his
band
unto
madamoyfelle
d'entragues
,
to
marry
her
if
she
prooved
with
child
within
six
months
after
he
enjoyed
her
.
She
was
very
resolute
a
while
not
to
depart
with
it
,
but
to
keep
it
for
the
juftification
of
her
honor
;
that
it
might
appear
,
she
yielded
not
to
him
upon
any
bafe
or
difhoneft
consideration
,
but
upon
such
a
direct
promise
of
marriage
:
and
she
did
likewise
for
a
time
refuse
him
her
companie
,
pretending
that
she
was
so
enjoined
by
her
confeffor
at
Easter
.
But
since
,
both
honor
and
conscience
have
given
place
to
profit
;
she
hath
delivered
up
the
writing
,
and
the
King
must
give
her
a
pension
of
6000
crowns
a
teare
,
and
to
her
father
and
mother
to
each
of
them
a
pension
of
4000
crowns
a
teare
;
and
besides
she
must
have
in
ready
money
100000
to
marry
her
.
Upon
this
accord
,
they
have
mett
again
at
Fontainebleau
according
to
their
former
manner
,
(
ut
dicitur
)
notwithstanding
the
confeffors
inhibition
.
But
in
this
mean
time
of
unikindenes
between
them
,
the
King
was
no
unprovided
,
but
had
sundry
haunts
in
this
town
;
and
among
the
rest
within
three
houses
of
me
,
whence
I
think
he
will
not
be
long
absent
,
for
he
is
expected
in
town
upon
Friday
or
Saturday
,
and
his
council
likewise
.
These
pettie
matters
I
am
bold
to
write
your
honor
,
to
give
some
satisfaction
to
the
postfcript
of
your
last
letter
,
which
I
therefore
beseech
you
to
interpret
the
best
of
.
And
so
hoping
every
hower
of
some
answer
to
my
two
last
letters
,
because
I
hear
monsieur
de
villeroye's
curryer
is
returned
,
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
most
,
&
c
.
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
27th
aprill
1600
.
O
.
S
.
I
received
yesterday
in
the
evening
by
simons
,
your
honor's
dispatch
of
the
nyneteenth
of
this
month
,
and
do
attend
an
opportunity
to
negotiate
with
this
King
as
I
am
therein
directed
,
which
I
fear
will
not
be
these
five
daies
at
the
soonest
.
For
the
King
comes
this
day
from
Fontainebleau
,
and
will
ether
entertain
himself
with
some
paftime
by
the
way
,
or
if
he
come
to
this
town
,
it
will
be
for
his
secret
pleasure
,
and
so
,
as
he
will
not
be
known
to
be
here
till
his
council
come
likewise
,
which
will
not
be
till
Tuesday
at
the
soonest
.
I
will
urge
my
audience
with
as
much
earneftnes
and
expedition
as
I
may
,
to
the
end
I
may
bring
with
me
a
clear
answer
from
the
King
in
the
points
I
have
proposed
;
which
I
am
exceeding
glad
that
her
Majesty
hath
so
well
prosecuted
with
the
Ambassador
there
,
and
thereby
avowed
my
proceeding
here
,
which
they
were
doubtfull
of
.
I
hope
we
shall
effect
some
good
by
it
,
although
not
in
so
great
measure
as
you
propounded
to
the
Ambassador
.
But
for
the
offring
to
authorize
and
revive
the
treaty
only
by
letters
between
the
princes
:
first
I
hold
it
very
uncertain
for
the
Queen's
subjects
,
who
cannot
pleade
that
in
any
court
of
justice
as
they
may
the
treaty
,
and
thereby
must
needs
stand
at
the
will
and
curtefie
of
the
King's
officers
here
,
and
be
subject
to
innovations
,
which
will
be
daily
offred
;
as
there
is
one
at
this
instant
,
by
a
decree
of
the
council
(
notwithstanding
my
opposition
)
forbidding
any
cloth
to
be
brought
into
this
realm
but
white
or
dyed
in
the
wool
,
which
cutts
off
the
chief
of
our
trade
into
brittaine
,
gascony
,
and
Rochelle
,
where
our
dyed
clothes
of
all
colors
are
best
vented
.
Of
which
innovation
,
(
as
likewise
of
all
other
to
our
prejudice
,)
the
renewing
of
the
treaty
will
be
the
only
remedie
,
and
reduce
things
to
a
certitude
.
And
seeing
we
intend
to
have
some
treaty
with
France
,
why
should
we
not
as
well
desire
to
have
that
,
as
any
other
,
being
the
most
beneficial
and
the
most
honorable
for
England
,
that
ever
was
made
between
these
two
crowns
?
Secondly
,
I
fear
that
this
offer
being
made
them
,
they
will
lay
hold
of
it
,
and
the
King
will
presently
write
bis
letters
declaratosy
therein
to
the
Queen
,
and
thereby
draw
the
like
from
her
,
and
afterwards
make
no
great
haste
to
content
her
for
the
money
:
for
(
as
I
wrote
before
)
it
is
the
treaty
that
must
draw
on
the
money
from
hence
,
though
her
Majesty
bave
reason
to
diftinguish
them
,
and
not
to
tye
her
self
to
any
conditions
or
obligation
for
receaving
her
own
.
But
seeing
it
is
their
desire
to
renew
the
treaty
,
and
a
thing
no
way
pejudiciall
,
but
rather
profitable
to
her
Majesty
:
it
is
good
in
my
poor
opinion
to
make
use
of
it
,
to
pull
on
the
contentment
desired
in
the
other
point
;
and
not
to
give
them
any
hope
of
reviving
the
treaty
,
either
directly
,
or
by
interpretation
,
without
satisfaction
about
the
money
;
or
any
cause
to
mistruft
,
that
it
is
the
money
only
we
seek
,
and
that
we
do
not
greatly
desire
the
alliance
;
for
in
both
these
cafes
,
they
will
be
found
left
forward
to
give
her
Majesty
the
contentment
she
expects
.
The
fureft
way
,
in
my
poor
opinion
,
is
to
agree
of
a
summe
to
be
paid
upon
the
conclusion
or
signature
of
the
treaty
;
and
for
the
more
expedition
,
that
present
commission
and
power
to
be
given
to
the
Ambassador
there
,
to
treat
and
conclude
it
.
I
have
sent
your
honor
a
note
of
the
King's
debts
to
her
Majesty
,
such
as
I
the
verification
of
the
most
,
I
brought
over
copies
of
the
bonds
,
and
Mr
.
Meredith's
accounts
,
signed
and
attefted
by
your
honor
:
but
for
the
charge
of
the
forces
in
Picardy
,
(
after
the
first
six
months
,
for
which
there
is
a
bond
of
the
King's
)
and
for
the
30000
l
.
Lent
in
the
year
1587
,
and
for
the
charge
of
the
army
levied
by
the
Prince
of
aubalt
,
and
the
6000
l
.
For
the
charge
of
the
forces
brought
over
by
my
Lord
willougbby
;
I
have
nothing
but
a
note
your
honor
sent
me
to
Blois
the
last
sommer
,
out
of
which
I
have
taken
that
which
I
have
alleged
in
my
memorial
touching
those
particulars
.
An
.
1600
.
For
satisfaction
made
here
upon
complaints
of
any
englishman
in
matter
of
piracye
absolutely
,
I
must
say
I
know
none
as
yet
.
In
Mr
.
Alderman
watts
his
complaint
against
those
of
Rochelle
,
there
is
a
judgment
in
the
admiralty
,
from
which
the
other
side
hath
appealed
,
and
so
it
depends
.
In
another
cause
,
(
wherein
he
with
others
have
appealed
from
a
very
injurious
sentence
given
by
the
judge
of
Rochelle
,
confirmed
as
injurioufly
by
the
marble
table
here
)
the
King's
advocat
,
when
it
was
pleaded
in
the
chamber
of
the
edict
,
made
his
conclusion
,
that
our
men
were
not
to
be
received
and
admitted
to
the
appeale
,
because
they
had
not
begun
it
within
a
year
and
a
day
after
the
sentence
was
given
,
from
which
they
appealed
;
whereupon
the
court
toke
time
to
be
advised
.
What
they
will
judge
yet
I
know
not
,
but
if
they
judge
it
so
,
I
think
they
will
at
once
wipe
away
most
of
our
complaints
.
For
the
custom
hath
been
,
presently
upon
any
prize
taken
,
to
gett
it
jugded
good
prize
by
the
judge
of
the
place
,
which
was
an
easy
matter
;
and
then
our
men
that
had
the
wrong
,
(
having
little
hope
during
the
troubles
of
France
to
obtayne
any
justice
)
intermitted
for
the
most
part
their
suits
;
and
so
by
this
means
(
if
it
be
established
for
law
)
they
shall
be
utterly
excluded
from
any
remedy
.
I
have
interpofed
my
self
in
it
as
far
as
I
may
,
and
so
mean
to
continue
;
with
what
succeffe
,
will
appear
when
it
is
judged
.
The
points
which
were
stood
upon
between
the
French
and
spanyards
for
precedence
at
their
last
treaty
,
I
shall
hardly
be
able
to
get
knowledge
of
.
For
there
is
none
here
that
was
a
Commissioner
in
it
but
the
Chancellor
;
and
how
I
shall
draw
it
from
him
I
know
not
.
Directly
sure
I
shall
not
,
but
I
will
do
the
best
I
can
by
oblique
means
.
*
The
King
hath
been
much
troubled
with
the
news
he
hath
received
from
Rome
,
that
the
demoniaque
woman
(
whose
impofture
was
discovered
here
in
Lent
was
twelve-month
)
is
come
to
Rome
,
and
there
in
her
pangs
hath
delivered
much
fcandalous
matter
against
bim
;
as
if
he
were
a
diffembled
huguenot
and
no
catholique
,
and
that
he
did
but
watch
his
time
to
declare
himself
,
and
to
do
some
notable
prejudice
to
the
catholiques
in
favor
of
the
heretics
.
Whereof
I
dare
undertake
he
is
nothing
guilty
,
but
do
rather
perfwade
my
self
,
be
will
prove
the
most
dangerous
ennemy
that
our
religion
hath
.
He
is
very
careful
to
ftopp
this
scandall
,
and
hath
written
earnestly
to
the
Pope
to
clear
himself
,
and
to
have
the
demoniaque
punished
.
He
hath
proceeded
against
the
abbot
of
St
.
Martin
in
berry
,
(
who
carried
her
to
Rome
)
by
adjournment
personal
,
and
by
seazure
of
his
benefices
.
And
to
give
a
better
taste
of
himself
to
that
side
,
whom
he
wholly
feeks
to
content
,
he
hath
declared
himself
very
partial
and
passionate
,
in
this
conference
between
monsieur
du
plessis
and
the
Bishop
of
d
'
evreux
.
An
effay
whereof
your
honor
may
take
by
his
letter
written
with
his
own
hand
to
monsieur
d
'
efpernon
,
who
is
now
in
great
show
of
favor
with
him
.
On
the
other
side
the
Count
soiffons
went
from
the
court
in
great
displeasure
and
discontentment
;
in
so
much
as
I
here
,
the
King
hath
given
order
to
stay
the
payment
of
his
pensions
..
In
some
,
Sir
,
I
assure
your
honor
there
are
infinite
difcontentments
here
,
and
especially
amongeft
those
of
the
religion
,
who
receaving
nothing
but
diftafte
and
diffidence
in
all
that
concernes
them
,
(
ether
publicly
or
privately
)
begin
to
retire
and
to
relie
themselves
,
with
purpose
to
stand
upon
their
gard
and
strength
.
And
the
opinion
of
all
men
is
,
that
this
state
will
not
continue
long
without
troubles
.
In
which
subject
I
have
had
some
overtures
made
,
which
I
cannot
now
relate
.
I
hear
our
English
fugitives
have
been
very
well
entertained
of
late
in
the
low-contries
,
and
have
their
pensions
(
which
were
once
suspended
)
revived
again
,
with
promise
of
the
arrearages
,
and
to
be
better
favoured
then
ever
.
What
may
be
concluded
of
this
your
honor
can
best
judge
.
And
so
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's
very
,

HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
Paris
9th
may
1600
,
o
.
S
.
I
received
yesternight
your
letters
by
Captain
primme
,
whereby
I
perceive
,
as
it
pleases
you
to
write
,
that
this
cuppe
cannot
pass
from
me
,
and
therefore
I
resolve
to
submit
my
self
to
her
Majesty's
will
,
hoping
that
no
more
will
be
exacted
of
me
than
my
means
and
warning
could
afford
.
Within
two
days
after
my
last
dispatch
,
understanding
that
the
King's
purpose
of
coming
to
this
town
was
altered
,
(
by
reason
of
monsieur
d'alincourt's
return
from
Rome
and
Florence
,)
I
sent
to
Fontainebleau
to
demand
audience
,
and
received
answer
,
that
the
King
would
be
in
town
the
Friday
after
,
and
therefore
prayed
me
to
have
patience
till
then
.
He
came
indeed
the
Friday
,
but
I
could
not
get
audience
till
Sunday
in
the
afternoone
,
at
which
time
I
presented
him
her
Majesty's
letters
,
declared
the
contents
of
them
,
and
afterwards
delivered
what
I
had
in
charge
.
The
King
answered
little
,
and
indeed
less
than
at
any
time
he
hath
been
accustomed
,
whereby
I
guess
he
was
not
the
best
contented
.
He
only
said
,
that
he
had
no
intent
to
couple
the
Queen's
satisfaction
for
her
money
,
and
the
renewing
of
the
treaties
so
together
,
as
if
he
meant
the
one
should
depend
necessarily
upon
the
other
;
but
he
had
proposed
them
both
together
,
as
things
he
thought
would
have
been
both
acceptable
to
her
Majesty
.
I
told
him
they
were
both
things
acceptable
to
her
,
and
therefore
she
had
given
me
charge
to
signify
,
that
she
was
ready
to
renew
the
treaties
whensoever
it
should
please
him
,
if
he
thought
they
needed
any
confirmation
.
But
for
the
an
.
1600
.
Reasons
alleged
to
his
Ambassador
,
(
which
I
likewise
repeated
unto
him
)
I
said
her
Majesty
was
willing
it
should
be
rather
managed
and
negotiated
by
his
said
Ambassador
,
than
by
any
other
expressly
sent
about
it
.
And
that
the
point
which
her
Majesty
misliked
was
this
,
that
there
was
no
certain
offer
made
her
of
any
present
satisfaction
for
this
year
,
whereof
she
expected
some
assurance
long
ere
this
.
And
therein
I
did
earnestly
urge
his
resolution
before
my
departure
,
that
I
might
carry
with
me
some
certainty
in
this
matter
,
which
I
had
negotiated
ever
since
my
coming
.
He
told
me
he
would
advise
of
it
,
and
that
I
should
have
an
answer
:
adding
little
,
but
only
some
news
which
he
said
he
had
received
,
that
Count
maurice
had
surprised
velasco's
troops
in
three
of
their
quarters
,
and
defeated
them
;
who
was
thereupon
retired
,
and
the
sort
upon
his
retreat
entred
into
parle
,
(
which
since
we
hear
is
rendered
as
your
honor
writes
.)
And
that
the
great
rich
of
this
late
indian
fleet
,
is
far
short
of
that
it
was
first
bruted
to
be
,
and
instead
of
16
millions
,
is
now
certainly
known
not
to
amount
to
above
nyne
,
whereof
not
above
two
and
a
half
to
the
King's
use
;
which
he
said
would
not
suffice
to
pay
the
party
which
he
made
with
the
genoese
for
the
last
,
and
this
present
year
.
Touching
Mr.Thynne
,
whose
cause
I
opened
unto
him
at
large
,
he
answered
nothing
,
but
willed
me
to
give
him
a
note
of
it
,
and
his
council
should
consider
of
it
,
and
give
me
answer
.
The
next
day
being
Monday
,
I
sent
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
to
desire
him
to
be
a
means
to
procure
me
an
answer
to
those
things
I
had
dealt
with
the
King
in
with
some
convenient
expedition
,
that
I
might
make
some
report
of
it
before
my
departure
hence
,
as
her
Majesty
expected
,
and
had
given
me
in
charge
to
do
.
But
the
man
was
very
waspish
,
and
would
give
no
other
answer
,
but
that
he
would
do
as
the
King
should
command
him
.
That
afternoon
the
King
went
to
St
.
Germans
,
and
so
about
the
country
,
with
a
purpose
not
to
return
till
Saturday
.
But
on
the
Tuesday
morning
the
council
went
to
him
to
St
.
Germans
,
and
returned
that
night
.
On
the
morrow
I
sent
again
to
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
signifying
that
I
had
commandment
from
her
Majesty
to
press
an
answer
,
and
that
I
stayed
only
for
it
,
and
offring
to
come
that
afternoon
to
him
to
receive
it
.
He
prayed
me
to
forbear
him
a
day
or
two
:
so
on
Thursday
in
the
afternoon
I
went
unto
him
,
having
before
been
with
the
Chancellor
about
Mr
.
Thynne's
cause
,
and
obtained
promise
that
it
should
be
heard
this
day
.
I
told
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
what
letters
I
had
delivered
from
her
Majesty
to
the
King
,
and
what
I
had
further
dealt
with
him
in
according
to
my
charge
,
praying
again
I
might
receive
an
answer
to
carry
with
me
,
as
the
King
had
promised
me
.
He
said
,
the
King
would
write
answer
to
the
Queen's
letters
,
and
send
them
to
his
Ambassador
.
I
replied
,
that
I
had
delivered
most
of
my
charge
in
speech
,
which
required
an
answer
,
as
well
as
the
letters
;
and
urged
him
to
let
me
understand
the
King's
pleasure
therein
.
Whereupon
,
(
although
he
would
not
give
me
any
direct
answer
till
he
had
spoken
again
with
the
King
,)
yet
he
was
contented
to
enter
into
discourse
of
the
points
I
had
negotiated
.
And
for
the
money
,
he
said
the
Queen
demandd
impossibilities
,
requiring
her
whole
debt
at
once
.
I
told
him
it
was
not
well
understood
,
nor
well
reported
unto
him
;
and
that
the
matter
which
passed
between
her
and
Monsieur
de
Boissise
was
nothing
but
this
.
When
Monsieur
de
Boissise
had
twice
or
thrice
urged
her
Majesty
to
declare
what
sum
she
required
presently
of
the
King
,
but
withal
offred
nothing
,
she
(
taking
it
to
be
a
kind
of
dalliance
and
impertinent
proceeding
with
her
)
told
him
,
that
the
King's
bonds
did
declare
sufficiently
her
demands
;
meaning
,
that
if
the
King
found
any
difficulty
to
satisfy
the
whole
this
year
,
it
was
rather
sit
for
him
to
make
offer
of
that
he
was
able
to
pay
her
,
than
for
her
to
apportion
her
debt
.
Wherein
I
said
Monsieur
de
Boissise
had
been
sufficiently
cleared
by
your
honor
,
and
some
other
of
her
Majesty's
council
,
with
whom
he
had
had
particular
conference
after
he
had
spoken
with
her
Majesty
.
I
(
said
he
,)
they
spoke
to
him
of
300000
crowns
,
which
is
as
impossible
to
the
King
to
pay
as
the
whole
;
and
an
.
1600
.
Thereupon
fell
to
discourse
of
the
King's
great
occasions
of
expense
for
his
marriage
,
for
the
contentment
of
the
Swiss
,
and
for
the
uncertainty
of
the
affairs
with
the
Duke
of
Savoy
.
I
replied
,
that
there
was
none
of
these
,
to
which
he
was
by
honor
and
justice
more
tied
than
to
the
satisfaction
of
the
Queen
,
if
he
did
but
remember
the
state
he
was
in
when
she
Lent
him
her
money
,
and
the
occasions
she
had
now
to
redemand
it
;
nether
did
it
argue
in
them
that
due
regard
of
her
that
she
had
deserved
,
to
be
so
much
more
careful
to
give
contentment
to
the
Swiss
than
to
her
,
as
to
pay
them
a
million
and
a
half
this
year
,
and
to
her
nothing
.
I
denyed
not
but
that
the
switzers
amity
had
been
profitable
to
this
state
,
and
so
might
be
hereafter
:
but
I
avowed
that
they
had
never
deserved
better
of
this
state
than
her
Majesty
had
done
,
especially
of
this
King
:
and
that
therefore
she
might
as
well
look
to
be
regarded
in
her
so
just
demands
,
as
the
Swiss
,
or
any
other
princes
or
state
whatsoever
.
He
said
they
were
able
to
discern
of
the
utility
of
their
alliances
,
and
to
render
to
every
one
his
due
regard
as
should
most
import
them
.
But
for
our
demands
,
he
said
,
they
were
such
as
they
could
not
tell
what
to
answer
us
,
being
very
loath
to
refuse
us
,
and
yet
not
able
to
content
us
.
From
that
matter
he
proceeded
to
the
other
of
renewing
the
treaty
;
complaining
,
that
whensoever
they
had
offred
to
bring
the
matter
to
some
issue
,
the
Queen
gave
back
;
so
had
she
done
when
upon
my
first
motion
of
it
,
the
King
had
assented
to
it
at
Blois
:
the
like
when
their
Ambassador
had
revived
it
some
months
since
;
and
now
again
,
when
the
King
had
offred
to
send
one
over
purposely
to
conclude
it
,
the
Queen
seemed
willing
rather
to
avoid
it
then
to
desire
it
,
by
referring
it
over
to
the
handling
of
their
ordinary
Ambassador
,
which
(
considering
the
fresh
example
of
our
proceeding
with
him
in
the
treaty
for
marine
causes
)
gave
them
little
hope
of
any
speedy
issue
,
but
rather
that
we
meant
to
draw
it
in
length
,
which
they
saw
no
purpose
of
.
He
complained
also
,
that
her
Majesty
had
refused
to
accompany
the
point
of
her
satisfaction
,
with
the
other
of
renewing
the
treaty
,
which
he
conceived
had
been
to
have
gone
togither
,
and
would
have
been
a
means
to
have
effected
her
Majesty's
contentment
the
better
:
but
that
she
had
refused
,
even
that
which
I
had
thought
reasonable
,
to
accept
of
some
satisfaction
upon
the
signature
of
the
treaty
.
I
answered
,
that
her
Majesty
had
sufficiently
declared
her
intention
in
this
matter
,
by
commanding
me
at
the
first
to
move
and
press
it
.
That
the
fault
that
it
proceeded
not
when
the
King
assented
unto
it
at
Blois
,
was
theirs
,
not
ours
;
for
the
breach
or
interruption
of
the
treaty
growing
from
their
default
,
it
was
reason
the
renewing
and
reviving
of
it,should
likewise
proceed
from
them
:
and
it
was
sufficient
that
her
Majesty
had
summoned
them
unto
it
.
Of
any
offer
made
afterwards
by
their
Ambassador
and
refused
by
her
Majesty
,
I
never
understood
;
and
if
there
had
been
any
,
no
doubt
I
should
have
been
advertised
of
it
.
And
for
this
late
proceeding
,
her
Majesty's
intention
was
very
clear
;
that
she
thought
not
to
recoil
,
but
to
advance
it
by
that
she
had
signified
unto
Monsieur
de
Boissise
;
namely
,
that
she
was
ready
to
enter
into
conference
,
and
to
treat
with
himself
of
it
,
whensoever
the
King
would
give
him
commission
.
Her
desire
it
should
be
managed
by
him
,
rather
than
by
any
other
expressly
sent
,
was
for
such
reasons
,
as
she
thought
would
have
been
as
grateful
to
the
King
as
to
her
;
and
can
no
way
admit
any
such
interpretation
of
a
purpose
of
delay
as
he
inferred
,
but
must
rather
be
held
the
readieft
course
for
a
quick
dispatch
of
the
business
;
the
sending
of
another
,
requiring
some
length
of
time
both
for
them
to
resolve
,
and
for
him
that
should
be
appointed
to
prepare
.
That
her
Majesty
had
great
reason
not
to
couple
those
two
matters
of
the
money
and
the
treaty
togither
,
or
to
binde
her
self
to
conditions
and
capitulations
to
come
by
her
own
,
which
she
had
so
frankely
Lent
.
That
she
had
made
it
sufficiently
appear
how
willing
she
was
to
renew
the
amity
,
but
that
the
justice
of
her
demand
for
her
money
depended
upon
former
exan
.
1600
.
Press
contracts
,
and
not
upon
those
which
were
offred
to
be
renewed
.
Therefore
it
was
fittest
for
both
their
honors
,
that
the
King
should
make
her
reimbursement
absolutely
without
any
condition
,
and
that
the
amity
should
be
likewise
renewed
simply
,
without
reference
to
any
thing
,
but
to
their
good
disposition
and
inclination
one
to
the
other
.
That
the
point
which
he
said
I
my
self
had
thought
reasonable
,
was
never
refused
by
her
Majesty
,
for
it
was
never
offred
by
their
Ambassador
.
Finally
,
that
in
the
conference
between
him
and
her
Majesty's
council
about
it
,
they
had
assented
,
(
so
that
the
King
would
give
her
Majesty
the
contentment
she
expected
for
this
present
year
,)
that
the
future
payments
should
be
agreed
on
at
the
treaty
.
Which
course
of
hers
,
I
fawe
not
why
they
should
dislike
or
refuse
,
if
they
intended
to
proceed
as
sincerely
as
she
did
.
His
reply
was
not
much
,
but
that
he
would
confer
with
the
King
,
and
then
give
me
answer
as
he
should
be
commanded
.
Touching
a
memorial
of
some
complaints
I
had
presented
at
my
audience
to
the
King
,
(
whereof
I
send
a
coppy
)
principally
against
an
arrest
of
the
privy
council
,
the
execution
whereof
I
desired
to
be
suspended
,
and
the
matter
to
be
referred
to
a
conference
between
deputies
of
both
sides
,
as
the
treaty
appoints
,
I
had
much
contestation
with
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
he
upholding
the
arrest
very
impertinently
,
and
pretending
that
it
was
no
innovation
,
but
a
regulation
,
(
as
if
it
might
not
be
both
)
and
that
it
was
not
General
but
special
for
Rouen
,
which
is
manifestly
false
;
and
in
respect
it
is
General
,
it
is
most
prejudicial
to
our
trade
,
namely
in
Brittany
,
Gascony
,
and
the
adjacent
parts
.
But
in
the
end
,
I
could
draw
no
promise
of
satisfaction
from
him
,
although
the
King
thought
my
request
reasonable
,
but
was
fain
to
leave
him
to
his
obstinacy
,
and
the
matter
to
her
Majesty's
consideration
;
whereof
I
hold
it
very
worthy
,
as
a
matter
wherein
it
seems
they
mean
to
try
her
patience
,
how
she
will
bear
that
which
peradventure
they
intend
,
to
her
further
prejudice
.
Monsieur
de
villeroyes
chiefest
subterfuge
was
recrimination
,
pretending
that
the
contraventions
were
far
greater
on
our
side
.
But
being
urged
to
declare
wherein
,
he
persisted
in
generalities
,
which
I
told
him
I
was
not
bound
to
answer
.
In
the
end
he
fell
into
his
ordinary
common
place
of
our
refusal
of
justice
in
marine
causes
.
I
told
him
if
those
were
the
things
he
meant
,
they
were
particular
offenses
,
that
deserved
punishments
;
but
no
contraventions
to
the
treaties
by
public
authoritie
,
as
those
were
which
I
complained
of
.
And
for
those
offenses
,
I
told
him
there
had
been
justice
done
in
very
many
causes
,
as
their
Ambassador
had
acknowledged
lately
to
her
Majesty's
council
,
shewing
therein
very
good
satisfaction
,
and
that
I
marveled
he
would
seem
so
well
satisfied
there
,
and
complain
so
hotly
here
.
He
said
he
had
written
,
that
I
had
said
in
that
kind
heretofore
unto
him
,
but
that
he
denyed
it
was
so
;
and
said
further
,
that
they
began
now
to
be
out
of
any
hope
of
justice
at
all
there
;
for
they
found
some
of
our
greatest
men
so
interested
and
linked
with
the
chief
offendors
,
as
they
knew
they
should
be
allwaies
protected
;
and
therefore
they
were
resolved
to
take
some
course
in
it
themselves
henceforth
,
and
to
complain
no
more
.
In
particular
,
he
exclaimed
of
a
great
outrage
done
in
December
last
upon
a
ship
of
St
.
Malo
,
where
the
men
were
murdered
with
exceeding
cruelty
and
barbarousness
,
as
he
reports
it
,
since
he
hath
sent
the
party
that
complaines
unto
me
,
and
I
have
given
him
letters
unto
your
honor
and
to
the
commissioners
.
This
being
the
your
honor
with
it
with
expedition
,
that
it
may
give
you
some
ground
to
judge
by
of
their
purpose
;
and
because
I
understand
monsieur
de
Villeroy
hath
likewise
made
a
dispatch
to
their
Ambassador
.
This
bearer
is
the
party
that
I
mean
to
leave
here
behinde
me
to
follow
the
King
;
wherein
because
he
is
like
to
be
long
absent
and
far
off
,
he
was
desirous
for
some
special
occasions
of
his
own
to
make
a
stepp
first
into
England
,
and
so
to
return
presently
in
post
.
The
journey
into
those
remote
parts
,
is
like
to
an
.
1600
.
Be
long
and
chargeable
:
it
may
please
your
honor
therefore
to
set
down
what
allowance
he
shall
have
,
and
whether
he
shall
receive
it
from
me
,
or
directly
out
of
the
exchequer
.
It
is
conceived
the
King
will
not
return
into
these
parts
till
the
next
spring
,
but
pass
this
winter
after
the
Princess's
coming
,
(
which
will
not
be
till
September
at
the
soonest
)
in
Languedoc
and
Guyenne
;
not
without
some
purpose
(
as
it
is
feared
)
to
favor
and
fortify
with
his
presence
,
a
design
he
hath
,
to
dismantle
the
towns
bolden
by
those
of
the
religion
.
Which
if
he
do
or
attempt
,
it
is
like
to
prove
the
first
act
of
the
tragedy
which
all
men
expect
here
within
short
time
.
I
understand
there
are
two
ships
now
finished
in
Calais
,
which
were
begun
there
by
the
Spaniards
,
while
they
possessed
the
town
.
The
King
hath
given
them
leave
to
furnish
them
with
ordnance
and
other
necessaries
,
as
I
hear
,
and
to
depart
at
their
pleasure
.
The
Ambassador
of
Württemberg
told
me
lately
,
that
he
had
received
advertisement
from
a
friend
of
his
in
hamburg
,
that
the
King
of
Denmark
maks
very
great
preparation
by
sea
,
which
gives
occasion
of
much
discourse
,
no
man
seeing
any
apparent
cause
for
it
.
I
do
not
doubt
if
any
such
thing
be
,
but
your
honor
is
sufficiently
advertised
of
it
;
yet
I
thought
it
my
duty
to
relate
what
I
heard
of
it
,
considering
his
demeanor
the
last
sommer
toward
our
fishermen
,
and
the
northern
jealousies
.
I
send
your
honor
here
enclosed
an
offer
brought
unto
me
by
the
party
himself
that
maks
it
,
with
great
protestations
of
a
desire
to
do
somewhat
that
may
recover
her
Majesty's
favor
,
and
his
country
.
If
you
embrace
it
,
he
desires
it
be
not
communicated
to
any
more
than
her
Majesty
and
your
self
.
For
into
your
honor's
hands
he
faieth
he
will
put
his
life
,
but
into
no
man's
els
;
acknowledging
you
dealt
honorably
with
him
,
when
some
other
held
a
contrary
course
.
The
King
returns
not
till
to
morrow
night
,
so
that
I
have
but
Sunday
to
receive
his
answer
,
and
to
kiss
his
hands
;
for
upon
Monday
I
must
needs
set
forward
,
the
day
of
meeting
being
the
Friday
after
at
Boulogne
.
And
so
,
&
c

Your
honor's
most

HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
.
Right
honorable
,
between
Amiens
and
Abbeville
,
14th
May
1600
.
O.S
.
I
could
not
have
access
to
the
King
till
Sunday
in
the
evening
,
and
even
that
was
obtained
with
great
difficultiem
and
reckoned
to
me
as
a
great
favor
,
being
upon
so
feftivall
a
day
.
The
King
of
himself
entred
into
the
discourse
of
this
treaty
,
and
of
the
difficulties
he
conceived
might
grow
out
of
the
demands
on
their
part
,
which
he
supposed
would
be
these
.
That
the
cautionary
towns
should
be
rendered
,
or
at
the
least
that
they
might
be
free
for
them
to
have
access
unto
,
as
the
other
parts
of
the
Queen's
dominions
were
.
That
the
trafficque
of
our
people
should
be
either
wholly
withdrawn
from
Holland
and
Zeeland
,
or
at
least
indifferently
established
in
his
provinces
,
as
well
as
there
;
and
that
her
Majesty
should
join
with
him
to
free
and
secure
the
passage
from
the
Hollanders
,
that
would
seek
to
impeach
it
.
On
our
part
he
supposed
also
that
there
would
be
required
liberty
of
traffick
into
all
the
King
of
Spain's
dominions
,
and
namely
to
the
indies
;
and
that
it
should
not
be
lawful
for
that
King
,
upon
any
pretence
against
the
Hollanders
,
to
bring
any
great
navy
into
the
narrowe
seas
,
nor
above
a
certain
nomber
,
such
as
should
nether
breed
jealonfy
nor
danger
to
our
state
.
About
which
points
an
.
1600
.
He
thought
there
would
be
much
difputing
,
and
that
before
any
conclusion
were
made
,
there
would
be
occasion
to
send
once
or
twice
in
Spain
,
which
would
draw
the
treaty
to
some
length
.
He
said
also
,
that
there
would
grow
some
controversy
about
precedence
and
the
point
of
honor
.
Whereupon
I
took
occasion
to
demand
of
him
,
how
that
point
was
agreed
upon
at
vervin
.
He
said
the
matter
came
not
much
in
question
,
by
reason
that
the
meetings
were
ever
at
the
legate's
lodging
,
who
kept
allwaies
the
end
of
the
table
;
and
that
his
ambassadors
had
the
right
hand
of
the
table
,
and
the
other
the
left
.
His
opinion
was
,
that
it
were
best
to
determine
it
now
by
lott
,
without
consequence
or
prejudice
to
either
side
.
But
monsieur
de
Villeroy
,
who
was
present
said
,
that
was
not
enough
,
for
we
bad
ever
had
the
place
till
Charles
the
5th's
time
,
and
since
it
was
never
decided
.
So
that
we
were
in
possession
of
the
precedence
,
and
to
refer
it
now
to
lott
,
were
to
make
it
questionable
,
and
to
put
it
in
doubt
by
our
own
act
and
confent
,
which
be
thought
we
intended
not
.
After
these
speeches
,
I
offred
to
take
my
leave
of
him
,
desiring
to
receive
his
commandments
to
her
Majesty
and
his
answer
to
those
things
I
had
dealt
with
him
in
by
her
appointment
.
He
told
me
he
would
send
his
answer
to
his
own
Ambassador
;
which
for
any
thing
I
can
guess
,
will
not
be
much
to
her
majesties
contentment
.
For
the
preface
he
used
,
of
his
great
occasions
of
expense
this
year
,
by
reason
of
his
marriage
,
(
which
he
said
would
cost
him
500000
crowns
,)
of
the
contentment
he
was
forced
to
give
the
Swiss
,
and
of
the
uncertain
terms
he
stood
in
with
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
methought
tended
to
no
good
conclusion
to
uftward
.
Monsieur
de
Villeroy
said
the
same
in
effect
.
If
nothing
come
upon
these
occasions
and
respects
,
as
I
have
heretofore
written
,
I
think
her
Majesty
may
very
surely
make
account
never
to
receive
any
thing
from
bim
,
and
shall
do
well
in
my
poor
judgement
not
to
build
any
deliberatian
upon
it
,
nor
upon
any
other
assistance
from
hence
.
For
the
friendship
is
very
hollowe
,
and
will
grow
every
day
more
unfound
,
as
his
combination
with
Rome
groweth
more
straight
,
to
which
be
is
wholly
carried
by
those
that
do
absolutely
governe
bim
.
The
next
day
in
the
morning
after
I
was
come
away
,
a
man
of
monsieur
de
villeroyes
brought
this
enclosed
to
her
Majesty
to
my
house
,
which
was
presently
sent
after
me
.
What
it
containes
I
know
not
,
for
I
had
no
copy
sent
me
:
but
whatsoever
it
be
,
I
thought
it
sit
to
send
it
away
by
the
first
opportunity
;
and
withal
to
beseech
your
honor
that
we
may
receive
full
direction
,
how
to
carry
our
selves
in
this
point
of
precedence
at
Boulogne
.
For
I
fear
it
will
be
a
difficile
point
;
and
not
being
accommodated
,
will
hinder
much
our
proceeding
,
and
take
up
much
time
in
the
parerga
of
the
treaty
.
At
my
coming
from
Paris
,
I
left
the
journey
to
Lyons
fully
resolved
,
and
the
council
allmost
ready
to
retire
every
man
to
his
house
for
a
little
time
,
and
so
to
proceed
to
Moulins
,
where
the
first
rendezvous
is
.
It
is
now
determined
,
that
the
Princess
of
Florence
comes
not
till
September
at
the
soonest
.
There
will
accompany
her
the
Grand
Duchess
,
the
Duchess
of
Mantua
,
and
the
cardinall
aldobrandino
.
All
men
hold
,
that
without
some
extraordinary
occasion
recall
him
,
the
King
will
not
return
into
these
parts
till
the
next
sommer
.
I
beseech
your
honor
therefore
,
to
think
of
me
with
that
favor
that
you
have
allwaies
vouchsafed
me
;
it
will
be
an
infinite
charge
for
me
to
followe
him
,
and
to
very
little
purpose
for
any
business
of
her
Majesty's
,
which
they
are
willing
to
put
off
upon
any
pretext
,
much
more
upon
so
colourable
an
excuse
as
this
will
be
.
The
morrowe
after
I
dispatched
my
last
Messenger
unto
your
honor
,
the
Chancellor
at
my
instance
heard
extraordinarily
Mr.Thynnes
cause
,
and
gave
judgment
that
he
should
be
enlarged
,
paying
only
fowerfcore
pounds
to
his
adverse
party
;
so
that
I
hope
he
is
at
liberty
by
this
time
.
I
gave
the
King
thanks
for
it
,
and
the
Chancellor
likewise
,
who
best
deserved
it
;
and
whom
I
take
to
be
one
of
the
bonefleft
men
in
the
state
,
though
be
be
otherwise
a
great
friend
to
Rome
,
and
one
that
concurres
with
monsieur
de
Villeroy
to
perfwade
the
King
an
.
1600
.
To
runne
that
course
.
This
is
all
I
will
trouble
your
honor
with
at
this
time
.
And
so
,
&
c
.
Your
honor's
most
,

HENRY
NEVILLE
.
HE
commissioners
for
her
Majesty
,
were
Sir
Henry
Neville
,
her
Majesty's
legier
Ambassador
in
France
;
john
herbert
Esquire
,
one
of
the
mafters
of
requefts
to
her
Majesty
,
and
second
Secretary
of
estate
;
Robert
beale
Esquire
,
Secretary
to
the
council
in
the
north
;
and
thomas
edmonds
Esquire
,
Secretary
for
the
French
tongue
.
The
commissioners
for
the
King
of
Spain
were
,
done
balthafar
de
cuniga
,
his
Ambassador
legier
in
the
low
contries
,
and
fonseca
.
For
the
Archduke
were
,
the
president
richardott
,
and
the
audiencier
verreykens
.
The
commissioners
mett
at
Boulogne
the
16th
of
may
1600
.
THE
first
dispute
(
which
began
the
17th
of
may
)
was
about
the
precedence
.
We
challenged
it
,
(
as
due
to
her
Majesty
,
before
the
King
of
Spain
)
with
these
reasons
;
that
in
all
councills
,
the
ambassadors
of
England
bave
bad
place
of
those
of
caftile
,
and
were
never
put
in
competition
by
them
,
but
only
by
those
of
hungary
;
which
title
the
King
of
Spain
hath
not
,
but
as
Archduke
of

That
in
the
treaties
between
Henry
the
7th
and
philippe
Archduke
of
auftria
,
King
of
caftile
;
and
between
Henry
the
8th
and
charles
the
5th
emperor
;
the
King
of
England
had
the
precedence
:
and
in
the
treaty
of
bourbourg
1588
,
the
Earl
of
derby
,
&
c
.
Had
the
preference
of
the
Count
d'aremberg
,
&
c
.
Commissioners
for
the
King
of
Spain
.
The
president
richardott
denyed
this
,
and
challenged
the
precedence
for
the
King
of
Spain
,
as
being
the
greater
King
.
He
said
,
the
precedence
we
spake
of
,
in
the
time
of
Henry
the
7th
and
8th
was
yielded
,
because
the
kings
of
caftile
,
being
also
archdukes
of
auftria
,
were
content
to
give
place
to
the
kings
of
England
,
as
being
in
their
own
country
Flanders
,
to
their
landlord
the
King
of
France
,
and
to
the
lieutenaut
of
the
empire
:
but
that
now
the
case
was
altered
,
for
that
they
treated
with
the
King
of
Spain
his
ambassadors
.
We
replied
,
that
her
Majesty
might
as
well
challenge
precedence
of
the
King
of
Spain
,
as
her
ancestors
did
of
the
emperor
charles
the
5th
,
who
was
also
King
of
Spain
.
At
length
we
proposed
,
that
(
setting
afide
the
queftion
of
precedence
)
we
should
treat
of
the
matter
for
which
we
mett
.
But
richardott
said
,
he
had
no
commission
to
treat
of
any
thing
,
till
the
precedence
were
yielded
to
the
King
of
Spain
.
This
matter
was
debated
between
us
and
them
,
and
to
and
fro
advertised
to
the
courts
of
England
,
Spain
,
and
bruffells
,
from
the
17th
of
may
till
the
26th
of
July
;
(
we
,
by
her
majesties
order
,
offering
to
yeeld
them
the
precedence
,
so
as
they
would
admit
this
clause
[
sans
prejudice
du
droict
d'un
cofté
ou
d'autre
.]
And
they
refusing
it
,
unlefs
we
would
acknowledge
it
to
be
due
unto
them
,
[
jure
]
or
given
[
simpliciter
,]
without
that
clause
.
At
length
,
the
26th
of
July
,
richardott
proposed
,
that
since
we
could
not
agree
about
precedence
,
we
should
gee
to
the
end
of
the
treaty
,
and
see
if
we
could
agree
upon
that
;
for
if
we
did
agree
upon
the
substance
,
it
might
be
,
that
her
Majesty
or
the
King
of
Spain
would
yield
the
precedence
,
rather
then
lose
the
peace
.
We
were
content
to
hear
what
they
would
say
,
with
protestation
,
that
we
did
it
only
to
satisfy
them
,
and
to
winne
time
,
till
we
heard
out
of
England
;
and
not
with
inent
to
proceed
to
any
conclusion
,
except
the
priority
were
yielded
.
Then
richardott
demandd
,
if
we
bad
commission
to
treat
with
the
archdnke
?
We
answered
,
we
had
.
He
then
asked
,
if
we
had
commission
to
treat
with
the
King
of
Spain
?
We
answered
,
we
had
.
Then
he
demandd
to
see
our
commission
.
We
showed
him
our
commission
under
the
great
seale
of
England
:
wherein
,
because
in
the
archdukes
title
,
(
most
illuftrious
)
was
used
in
stead
of
(
most
serene
;)
and
in
that
the
claufe
of
subdelegation
was
omitted
,
be
took
exceptions
;
yet
agreed
,
they
were
not
such
,
as
should
break
the
treaty
.
Then
we
demandd
to
see
their
commissions
:
and
they
showed
us
two
;
one
from
the
Archduke
,
another
from
the
King
of
Spain
:
both
which
we
found
defectivo
.
First
,
the
Archduke's
commission
was
signed
by
the
infarta
as
well
as
by
him
-
an
.
1600
.
Self
;
whereas
ours
was
to
treat
with
the
Archduke
alone
.
2
.
The
King
of
Spain's
commission
gave
power
to
the
Archduke
to
subdelegate
commissioners
;
and
the
Archduke
had
subdelegated
those
that
were
his
own
commissioners
;
which
we
thought
was
not
good
.
3
.
In
the
King
of
Spain's
commission
,
be
bad
omitted
his
title
of
King
of
portugal
;
and
yet
had
inserted
his
title
of
King
of
jerufalem
,
(
which
is
her
Majesty's
title
as
well
as
bis
,)
and
Lord
of
Ireland
,
(
which
is
her
Majesty's
title
onely
.)
4
.
He
bad
omitted
her
Majesty's
title
cf
defender
of
the
faith
.
The
three
first
exceptions
they
answered
flightly
;
but
to
the
fourth
,
(
which
we
chiefly
insisted
upon
)
they
answered
,
that
if
the
Pope
gave
her
that
title
,
the
King
of
Spain
would
give
it
her
;
otherwise
he
would
not
.
We
replied
,
that
the
King
of
Spain's
ancestors
,
and
the
Pope
himself
,
gave
it
to
her
Majesty's
father
and
brother
,
and
she
had
born
it
all
her
reign
,
and
was
so
styled
in
the
treaty
of
bourbourg
1588
.
But
richardott
said
,
it
could
not
be
allowéd
.
And
so
,
after
three
months
time
spent
in
these
altercations
,
the
commissioners
parted
on
all
hands
,
and
the
treaty
was
diffolved
.

O.S
.
According
to
the
commandment
I
received
in
your
letter
of
the
13th
of
this
month
,
I
repaired
hither
to
Boulogne
;
where
I
arrived
upon
Friday
about
five
of
the
clock
in
the
evening
.
At
my
coming
,
I
found
the
Spanish
Ambassador
and
the
archduks
audiencier
arrived
two
houres
before
me
;
but
the
president
richardott
came
not
till
the
evening
following
.
Since
our
meeting
,
we
have
had
sundry
conferences
both
private
and
public
.
In
our
first
private
meeting
with
the
president
richardott
,
we
did
only
salute
one
another
,
and
pass
some
compliments
,
with
protestation
of
the
sincere
affection
and
desire
that
was
in
both
our
princes
to
make
a
peace
.
In
our
second
private
meeting
,
we
descended
to
treat
of
the
course
we
should
bold
in
our
treaty
;
and
namely
to
agree
of
the
time
and
place
of
our
meeting
:
which
was
agreed
should
be
in
the
forenoons
,
at
the
house
of
the
spaniſh
Ambassador
,
because
he
was
sick
and
gouty
.
In
our
third
meeting
,
(
which
was
public
,
with
all
the
commissioners
on
both
sides
)
we
began
to
speak
of
our
commissions
,
and
of
the
precedence
.
For
the
commissions
,
we
showed
them
the
copy
of
ours
,
and
they
promised
us
a
copy
of
theirs
.
For
the
precedence
,
the
president
richardott
began
to
challenge
it
for
the
King
of
Spain
,
as
the
greater
Prince
;
and
said
,
that
he
had
commandment
from
the
King
kis
Master
,
not
to
treat
,
except
it
were
yielded
.
We
answered
,
that
we
merveiled
that
they
would
move
a
question
which
had
been
so
long
since
decided
;
and
that
her
Majesty
did
look
for
the
precedence
,
as
due
unto
her
,
and
as
her
ancestors
had
enjoyed
it
before
her
.
And
so
for
that
time
we
parted
,
without
any
conclusion
.
Yesterday
being
Saturday
,
we
mett
again
,
and
spent
the
whole
time
in
debating
the
matter
of
precedence
.
We
alleged
our
reasons
,
and
precedents
of
former
times
;
and
they
theirs
.
In
the
end
,
finding
them
peremptory
,
we
proposed
an
overture
;
that
(
saving
the
right
of
both
sides
)
we
might
proceed
to
the
treaty
of
the
business
.
But
they
absolutely
refused
it
;
saying
,
they
had
no
power
to
treat
,
unlefs
the
precedence
were
granted
them
universally
.
We
told
them
,
that
we
had
no
commission
to
yeeld
it
;
but
would
advertise
her
Majesty
of
their
demand
,
and
attend
her
pleasure
.
And
so
we
brake
off
;
they
refusing
to
deliver
us
the
copies
of
their
commissions
,
until
this
controversy
were
decided
.
This
is
the
summe
of
that
which
hath
passed
hitherto
.
Wherein
I
must
needs
say
,
I
find
the
president
richardott
to
be
a
man
of
a
very
sharpe
wit
,
and
a
perverse
disposition
;
and
one
that
seems
to
seek
all
advantages
to
break
off
the
treaty
,
rather
then
to
conclude
a
peace
.
The
Spanish
Ambassador
is
a
man
of
a
milder
temper
,
but
wholy
governed
by
the
other
.
The
audiencier
is
a
man
of
no
great
sufficiency
.
I
beseech
your
honor
that
we
may
receive
her
Majesty's
resolution
touching
this
point
of
precedence
with
all
speede
;
for
until
then
we
can
do
nothing
.
And
so
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
most
,
&
c

O.S

SInce
my
last
of
the
18th
,
we
have
had
little
conference
with
the
adverse
party
,
saving
that
on
Sunday
we
sent
to
them
to
know
if
they
would
be
content
to
exchange
the
copies
of
our
commissions
;
which
they
refused
,
saying
,
they
might
not
do
it
,
until
the
question
of
precedence
were
agreed
.
On
Monday
we
visited
them
at
their
lodging
,
and
had
some
speech
with
them
of
the
inconveniences
that
would
ensue
,
if
the
treaty
should
break
upon
this
point
.
They
seemed
sorry
for
it
,
but
stood
ftifly
upon
their
instructions
.
In
the
mean
time
,
we
have
endeavored
to
inform
our
selves
of
the
affection
of
the
country
hereabouts
towards
the
peace
;
and
we
find
them
all
very
desirous
of
it
,
especially
the
merchants
,
who
hope
thereby
to
have
free
traffick
into
Spain
.
We
hear
from
Paris
,
that
the
King
hath
deferred
his
journey
to
Lyons
for
fifteen
days
,
attending
the
coming
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
who
is
said
to
be
on
his
way
.
The
Edict
of
Nantes
is
verified
in
the
parliament
,
but
with
some
restrictions
which
are
not
pleasing
to
those
of
the
religion
.
I
have
received
a
letter
from
Mr
.
Winwood
,
who
remain
at
Paris
;
wherein
he
advertifeth
me
,
that
the
King
hath
given
order
for
the
payment
of
the
Swiss
,
but
sayeth
nothing
of
her
Majesty's
satisfaction
.
I
have
written
to
him
to
press
it
earnestly
,
and
to
let
them
know
,
that
her
Majesty
will
not
be
satisfied
with
words
,
whilst
others
are
paid
with
money
.
I
send
your
honor
herewith
a
copy
of
the
passport
which
the
Archduke
hath
sent
for
her
Majesty's
commissioners
;
wherein
you
may
see
there
is
an
omiffion
of
the
title
of
defender
of
the
faith
;
which
we
have
noted
unto
them
,
and
they
promise
it
shall
be
amended
in
the
commission
.
We
attend
her
Majesty's
pleasure
with
devotion
;
praying
God
to
direct
her
councils
to
his
glory
and
the
good
of
her
realm

Right

Boulogne
26th

.
O.S
.
Yesterday
in
the
afternoone
arrived
here
the
gentleman
whom
we
had
sent
into
England
;
by
whom
we
received
her
Majesty's
directions
touching
the
precedence
:
which
were
,
that
we
should
stand
upon
her
right
,
and
by
no
means
yeeld
it
.
Whereupon
we
sent
presently
to
the
commissioners
of
the
other
side
,
to
desire
a
meeting
this
morning
.
At
our
meeting
,
we
declared
unto
them
her
Majesty's
resolution
;
and
shewed
them
,
that
she
had
great
reason
not
to
depart
from
that
right
which
her
ancestors
had
so
long
enjoyed
,
and
which
she
her
self
had
possessed
without
controllment
during
her
whole
reign
.
We
produced
diverse
precedents
out
of
the
registers
and
treaties
of
former
times
;
and
namely
that
of
1588
.
They
answered
,
that
those
precedents
were
grounded
upon
the
respect
that
was
then
born
to
the
King
of
England
,
as
having
command
over
the
narrow
seas
,
and
being
able
to
disturbe
their
passage
;
but
now
the
case
was
otherwise
.
And
for
the
treaty
of
88
,
they
said
it
was
but
a
colloquy
,
and
no
treaty
;
and
besides
,
the
precedence
was
not
yielded
then
,
but
taken
.
In
conclusion
,
they
said
they
were
sorry
that
they
could
not
proceed
;
but
their
instructions
were
precise
.
We
told
them
,
we
were
as
sorry
as
they
;
and
so
we
parted
.
Since
our
return
to
our
lodging
,
we
have
confulted
what
is
fittest
to
be
done
.
And
considering
that
to
break
off
the
treaty
abruptly
upon
this
point
,
might
be
subject
to
heard
conftruction
,
and
perhaps
breed
some
inconvenience
:
we
have
thought
good
to
send
another
dispatch
to
her
Majesty
,
to
acquaint
her
with
their
obftinacy
,
and
to
know
her
further
pleasure
,
whether
we
shall
persist
in
the
refusal
,
and
so
diffolve
the
affembly
;
or
whether
she
will
be
content
to
yeeld
to
an
equality
,
or
some
other
temperament
.
In
the
mean
time
we
will
entertain
the
time
with
them
as
well
as
we
can
;
and
seek
to
discover
if
there
be
any
hope
that
they
will
relent
.
But
I
fear
the
worst
,
for
richardott
is
very
bigh
.
I
beseech
your
honor
to
hasten
the
return
of
this
Messenger
;
for
we
lie
here
at
great
charge
,
and
to
no
purpose
.

honor's
most
,

Right

22th
June
1600
.
O.S
.
SInce
my
last
,
we
have
received
her
Majesty's
letters
of
the
6th
of
June
;
whereby
she
is
pleased
to
qualifie
the
rigor
of
her
former
instruction
,
and
to
be
content
to
admit
of
an
equality
;
so
as
the
precedence
be
not
simply
yielded
to
the
King
of
Spain
.
Upon
receipt
whereof
,
we
demandd
audience
of
the
adverse
commissioners
;
and
proposed
unto
them
,
that
to
avoid
the
rupture
of
the
treaty
,
her
Majesty
was
content
(
out
of
her
desire
of
peace
)
to
wave
her
right
for
this
time
,
and
to
agree
,
that
there
should
be
no
precedence
claimed
on
either
side
;
but
that
we
should
treat
in
an
equality
.
They
took
time
to
consider
of
it
;
and
the
next
day
returned
answer
:
that
they
bad
acquainted
the
Archduke
with
our
proposition
,
who
had
sent
them
order
,
not
to
admit
of
any
equality
,
but
to
infist
upon
the
absolute
precedence
for
the
King
of
Spain
.
This
unreasonable
answer
did
much
trouble
us
:
and
we
replied
,
that
we
did
not
think
the
King
of
Spain
himself
would
have
stood
so
punctually
upon
points
of
honor
,
to
the
hinderance
of
so
good
a
work
:
and
that
we
bad
gone
as
far
as
our
instructions
would
bear
us
,
and
further
than
stood
with
her
Majesty's
honor
,
to
offer
an
equality
,
when
the
precedence
was
due
unto
her
.
They
persisted
in
their
resolution
:
saying
,
that
the
catholick
King
was
the
greatest
monarch
of
Christendom
,
and
might
not
yield
in
point
of
honor
to
any
.
So
we
are
again
at
a
stand
;
and
I
see
no
issue
of
it
,
but
a
breach
.
We
have
advertisement
,
that
the
King
of
Spain
makes
great
preparations
for
the
war
;
and
that
there
are
forces
levying
in
Italy
and
Germany
to
come
into
the
low
countries
.
Which
shewes
be
hath
no
great
meaning
to
make
peace
.
I
pray
your
honor
let
us
hear
from
you
.
I
grow
weary
of
this
fruitlesse
employment
.
Your
honor's
most
,
&
c

O.S

HAving
so
good
a
commodity
I
would
not
omit
it
,
though
perhaps
too
late
to
find
you
at
Paris
.
Out
of
England
I
have
heard
nothing
since
your
departure
,
neither
publicly
to
us
all
,
nor
privately
to
my
self
.
I
have
written
that
I
have
dispatched
you
,
and
what
allowance
I
have
made
you
,
alledging
his
promise
for
it
.
Of
my
suit
I
hear
nothing
at
all
;
I
received
this
morning
a
letter
from
my
father
,
but
with
no
mention
of
it
.
The
audiencer
is
returned
this
day
,
but
as
yet
they
have
not
sent
to
us
.
Since
I
sent
the
Ambassador
venison
,
he
hath
sent
my
wise
and
my
sister
some
Spanish
gloves
and
perfumes
.
Richardot
had
lately
conference
with
Mr
.
Secretary
privately
,
and
afterwards
with
him
and
Mr
.
Edmonds
,
to
this
effect
;
that
whereas
the
Queen
had
often
promised
to
do
her
best
to
bring
them
of
Holland
and
zealand
into
the
treaty
,
for
which
there
was
now
a
very
good
opportunity
offered
,
seeing
they
began
of
themselves
to
hearken
to
it
,
and
had
for
that
purpose
given
a
passport
to
the
deputies
of
the
states
of
Flanders
to
come
to
confer
with
them
at
bergen
op
zoome
;
it
would
please
her
to
add
her
authority
unto
this
inclination
of
theirs
,
and
either
persuade
them
to
send
their
deputies
hither
to
joyn
with
us
,
or
to
remove
this
treaty
into
some
place
of
Holland
;
in
which
latter
case
he
said
,
they
would
give
us
the
precedence
,
which
had
been
so
much
in
question
.
This
motion
he
made
as
privately
from
himself
,
referring
it
unto
them
either
to
suppress
it
,
or
to
communicate
it
further
as
they
thought
sit
.
By
this
you
may
gather
some
reason
of
this
long
lingring
without
apparent
cause
;
and
withal
,
that
the
states
begin
bansler
Ã
la
manche
.
We
understand
by
reports
,
but
not
otherwise
,
that
my
Lord
cobham
and
Sir
walter
rawleigh
are
gone
over
,
upon
pretext
to
see
the
camp
and
seige
of
the
sort
isabella
near
Ostend
,
where
Count
maurice
is
yet
unprofitably
,
as
he
was
before
at
newport
;
but
I
cannot
think
but
they
have
some
other
end
,
and
that
in
England
there
is
some
allarm
taken
of
these
matters
,
although
we
be
not
worthy
to
know
it
.
The
Archduke
is
within
half
a
league
of
the
states
army
,
and
puts
in
as
many
men
as
he
will
into
the
sort
;
so
as
yet
it
is
held
that
Count
maurice
must
be
fain
to
dislodge
,
and
embark
again
for
Holland
,
having
made
small
use
of
his
victory
and
great
expense
he
hath
been
at
,
only
la
berlotte
is
slain
as
he
came
to
view
the
enemies
trenches
.
And
so
till
further
occasion
I
commit
you
to
God
.
Your
very
loving
friend
,
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
P.S
.
Even
now
we
have
received
answer
from
the
audiencer
,
whereby
I
conceive
the
treaty
is
broken
,
viz
.
That
the
King
of
Spain
will
not
assent
to
any
meeting
,
without
the
preseance
be
yielded
unto
him
.
I
thought
good
you
should
know
it
,
but
use
it
as
you
see
cause
;
you
may
communicate
it
if
you
will
to
the
Duke
de
Bouillon
if
he
be
there
,
and
see
if
he
will
not
take
occasion
before
it
be
throughly
known
,
to
set
a
foot
again
the
motion
I
made
for
renewing
the
treaties
between
the
Queen
and
the
French
King
.
I
send
to
morrow
into
England
,
to
sollicite
my
leave
to
step
over
thither
when
we
have
ended
here
;
this
last
accident
I
fear
will
much
disappoint
my
hopes
that
way
.

Neville

Mr

Winwood

Boulogne
23

.
O.S
.
OUR
business
is
here
at
an
end
,
upon
the
reason
I
wrote
to
you
in
my
last
of
the
18th
of
this
month
.
I
am
not
certain
what
shall
become
of
me
,
for
in
the
letters
from
her
Majesty
whereby
we
are
authorized
to
return
,
the
permission
seems
to
be
restrained
to
those
that
were
sent
over
purposely
for
this
business
,
which
seems
to
be
exclusive
to
me
;
but
I
have
sent
over
michael
purposely
to
bring
me
some
certain
resolution
,
and
I
make
full
account
to
go
over
.
I
have
received
answer
from
Mr
.
Secretary
,
of
that
I
wrote
to
him
concerning
you
;
wherein
he
promises
allowance
of
20
s
.
A
day
,
but
for
the
other
10
s
.
He
saith
it
is
not
worth
the
moving
the
Queen
;
so
it
seems
he
means
to
lay
it
upon
me
,
which
I
am
very
well
content
with
,
and
will
see
it
shall
be
duly
answered
you
.
Directions
he
hath
sent
me
none
for
you
,
although
I
earnestly
prest
it
,
not
so
much
as
touching
any
compliment
to
be
done
by
you
to
the
Princess
upon
her
arrival
,
although
I
mentioned
it
particularly
:
therefore
I
must
refer
you
to
those
generalities
that
we
conferred
of
before
your
departure
,
till
my
coming
into
England
;
and
then
I
will
not
fast
to
urge
and
send
you
a
more
perfect
direction
.
For
the
present
I
would
only
add
this
,
that
you
would
inform
your
self
by
all
means
of
the
Spanish
designs
,
which
no
doubt
upon
the
rupture
,
will
be
carried
on
mainly
against
our
state
,
especially
in
Ireland
:
and
for
that
purpose
I
would
be
glad
that
you
should
settle
me
some
good
intelligence
,
not
only
where
we
spake
of
at
your
departure
,
but
any
where
else
,
where
you
think
it
may
be
to
good
purpose
;
the
charge
of
it
I
refer
unto
you
,
I
will
perform
what
you
promise
,
for
I
know
it
will
be
acceptable
.
We
have
a
bruit
by
some
English
set
at
liberty
and
come
out
of
Spain
,
that
there
are
80
ships
preparing
at
the
Groyne
,
and
30
galleys
to
come
from
Lisbon
to
join
with
them
;
I
pray
you
be
diligent
to
sift
the
truth
of
it
;
if
you
chance
to
speak
with
the
King
himself
,
he
will
deal
plainliest
with
you
.
In
Ireland
our
affairs
continue
upon
the
mending
hand
;
the
Queen
is
determined
to
proscribe
Tyrone
and
to
confer
his
earldom
upon
Sir
Arthur
O'Neill
,
who
is
come
in
,
and
hath
declared
himself
openly
against
him
:
diverse
others
are
ready
to
do
the
like
.
Her
Majesty
is
likewise
resolved
to
deliver
the
young
Earl
of
Desmond
out
of
the
Tower
,
and
to
restore
him
to
his
father's
title
and
estate
,
whereby
it
is
conceived
that
Munster
will
be
speedily
reduced
.
Be
careful
I
pray
you
to
advertise
the
proceedings
between
the
King
and
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
for
it
imports
,
and
the
Queen
expecteth
it
chiefly
from
you
.
My
Lord
Cobham
and
Sir
Walter
Raleigh
are
returned
,
but
I
hear
their
journey
was
not
altogether
idle
,
nor
upon
curiosity
only
,
but
that
they
carried
some
message
which
did
no
harm
:
the
particulars
you
shall
know
when
I
am
better
informed
of
them
.
I
have
received
and
sent
the
passport
which
you
required
for
john
norton
.
I
pray
you
write
often
,
though
you
hazard
some
letters
,
for
now
they
will
be
exceeding
desirous
in
England
to
hear
of
your
proceeding
in
those
parts
.
I
have
used
the
direction
you
advised
me
of
in
your
letter
by
Mr
.
Packer
for
conveyance
of
mine
,
and
mean
to
continue
it
till
you
advice
me
otherwise
.
Touching
the
absurd
and
slanderous
surmise
that
the
Spanish
Ambassador
hath
against
me
,
I
will
not
take
any
knowledge
of
it
till
I
may
avow
some
author
.
I
distrust
colvel
every
day
more
and
more
,
I
will
quit
my
self
of
him
.
And
so
till
some
other
opportunity
I
commend
me
unto
you
,
&
c
.
Your
loving
friend
,
HENRY
NEVILLE

Henry
Neville

Mr

Secretary

Right
honorable
,
Boulogne
28th
July
1600
.
O.S
.
IT
may
please
your
honor
;
we
have
received
your
letters
of
the
20th
of
July
:
wherby
her
Majesty
doth
command
us
to
make
a
Final
conclusion
with
these
commissioners
;
and
if
they
will
not
accept
of
the
equality
offred
,
to
return
home
.
According
whereunto
,
we
had
a
meeting
with
them
this
morning
:
wherein
we
declared
,
that
her
Majesty
had
done
all
that
could
be
required
of
a
Prince
that
desired
peace
upon
honorable
terms
:
that
she
had
offred
to
remitt
her
just
right
of
precedence
,
and
to
treat
upon
equal
terms
:
that
if
they
refused
this
,
it
was
manifest
to
all
the
world
,
the
fault
lay
in
them
,
and
not
in
her
.
Richardot
answered
,
that
they
were
tied
by
their
instructions
,
and
could
not
go
from
them
.
So
we
resolved
to
break
off
.
But
before
our
parting
,
we
demandd
to
see
their
commissions
,
(
as
I
wrote
in
my
former
letters
we
intended
to
do
.)
They
shewed
us
them
:
and
we
took
those
exceptions
mentioned
in
the
collection
I
sent
your
honor
:
namely
,
to
the
omiffion
of
the
title
,
defender
of
the
faith
;
and
the
title
of
Lord
of
Ireland
affumed
by
the
King
of
Spain
;
and
the
want
of
the
clause
of
subdelegation
;
and
the
joining
of
the
Infanta
with
the
Archduke
.
They
defended
their
commissions
as
well
as
they
could
;
but
weakly
.
And
so
,
after
some
sharp
speeches
passed
between
Richardot
and
us
,
we
took
our
leaves
:
protesting
,
that
the
rupture
of
this
treaty
proceeded
meerely
from
their
pride
and
obstinacy
.
We
intend
to
set
forward
towards
England
to
morrow
.
I
hope
her
Majesty
I
humbly
take
my
leave
.
Your
honor's
most
,
&
c

HENRY
NEVILLE

An

1600

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Winwood
.
Mr
.
Winwood
,
bulloigne
,
29
July
1600
.
O.S
.
OUR
business
here
is
an
end
,
as
I
have
twice
already
written
unto
you
.
The
Spanish
commissioners
went
away
yesterday
,
and
we
account
to
ship
upon
Tuesday
or
Friday
.
The
truth
is
for
my
part
I
account
this
action
for
dissolved
,
altho
'
there
be
a
verball
agreement
among
us
,
that
it
shall
continue
in
dependance
60
days
,
in
which
time
the
Queen
is
to
resolve
whether
(
if
the
states
will
be
induced
to
enter
into
the
treaty
)
she
will
treat
in
some
town
of
Holland
;
or
in
case
they
refuse
,
in
some
of
the
Archduke's
towns
,
as
borborough
,
winoxbergen
,
or
any
other
which
her
Majesty
will
chuse
:
in
both
which
cases
,
her
Majesty
sending
into
their
country
,
is
of
courtesy
to
have
the
preseance
,
and
so
that
point
not
to
come
in
question
at
all
.
If
she
like
of
neither
of
these
,
she
is
to
propose
any
other
way
that
she
shall
think
sit
for
the
continuance
of
the
treaty
.
Now
I
suppose
the
Queen
will
accept
of
neither
of
these
two
,
being
in
effect
to
yeild
the
same
point
of
honor
,
which
hath
been
all
this
while
debated
;
and
besides
,
having
been
the
cheif
subject
of
Mr
.
Edmond's
first
negotiation
at
Brussels
,
and
then
directly
rejected
by
her
:
and
for
my
own
part
,
I
see
no
other
way
how
we
can
meet
,
but
with
the
same
difficulty
,
which
hath
now
separated
us
,
unless
they
will
send
into
England
,
which
they
absolutely
refuse
,
therefore
I
conclude
as
before
.
Notwithstanding
,
we
are
willing
for
some
causes
to
have
it
conceived
otherwise
,
that
partly
by
reason
of
some
difficulty
grown
about
the
precedency
,
but
cheifly
to
give
both
time
and
convenience
to
the
hollanders
to
resolve
whether
they
would
enter
into
the
treaty
,
having
of
late
discovered
some
inclination
unto
it
,
it
was
proposed
by
the
other
side
,
and
could
not
well
be
refused
by
ours
,
to
adjourn
the
treaty
for
60
days
,
and
in
the
mean
time
a
place
for
the
next
meeting
to
be
agreed
upon
,
which
should
be
convenient
for
all
sides
.
But
withal
,
if
you
find
that
the
opinion
of
our
breach
may
the
sooner
imbark
the
King
into
the
war
with
Savoy
,
you
may
confidently
tell
him
as
of
your
self
,
that
the
proceeding
hitherto
hath
so
distasted
her
Majesty
,
as
you
are
of
opinion
she
will
not
be
drawn
into
any
new
conference
:
but
if
he
be
already
entred
into
war
,
you
shall
do
well
to
turn
your
language
clean
the
other
way
,
and
accermare
,
that
the
small
assurance
and
contentment
she
finds
here
,
will
enforce
her
in
all
reason
to
provide
for
her
repose
and
safety
some
other
way
;
at
least
to
disburthen
her
self
of
certain
enemies
,
seeing
she
finds
so
uncertain
friends
.
And
thereupon
you
may
take
occasion
,
to
touch
the
discontentment
the
Queen
hath
conceived
of
the
late
arrest
of
the
privy
council
,
which
is
like
to
cut
off
the
cheif
trade
of
our
nation
in
this
realm
;
and
you
may
very
seriously
urge
either
the
revocation
of
it
,
or
at
least
the
suspending
of
the
execution
for
three
or
four
months
,
till
there
may
be
some
conference
had
of
it
,
and
his
council
may
be
throughly
informed
of
the
wrong
therein
done
to
the
amity
and
treaties
between
the
two
crowns
.
And
if
it
be
refused
,
you
may
directly
let
fall
some
speeches
,
that
the
Queen
will
be
very
sensible
of
it
,
and
will
be
enforced
,
both
in
honor
and
policy
,
to
make
the
like
restraints
upon
the
subjects
and
commodities
of
France
,
as
this
arrest
hath
made
upon
those
of
England
.
And
that
you
may
be
the
better
avowed
in
the
solicitation
hereof
,
I
send
you
a
copy
of
the
council's
letter
lately
written
unto
me
about
it
,
and
likewise
a
memorial
sent
me
by
the
merchants
how
they
desire
to
have
it
qualified
;
which
being
compared
with
the
arrest
,
and
the
difference
noted
,
will
best
declare
what
they
do
particularly
complain
of
.
And
in
the
mean
time
whilst
you
solicit
some
order
there
for
the
suspending
of
it
,
I
have
adventured
to
write
to
the
first
president
of
Rouen
,
to
make
some
stay
of
it
in
that
ressort
,
till
the
King's
pleasure
may
be
further
known
;
therefore
I
pray
you
be
instant
in
it
,
and
at
least
let
us
know
what
the
King
answers
.
The
Ambassador
hath
been
dealt
with
in
England
about
it
,
and
hath
made
fair
promises
,
as
his
manner
is
.
The
merchant's
letter
which
I
now
send
you
,
though
it
be
General
,
yet
it
is
chiefly
meant
for
the
business
of
the
sea
;
touching
which
I
thought
good
to
write
my
letters
to
the
King
,
and
the
Duke
de
joyeuse
,
who
is
Admiral
of
the
levant
seas
,
and
to
send
them
open
to
you
,
that
you
might
carry
them
if
you
think
sit
.
Or
otherwise
if
you
find
any
disposition
in
the
King
to
give
satisfaction
,
it
may
be
it
will
be
better
to
forbear
them
,
because
they
are
somewhat
quick
and
plain
.
You
shall
be
best
able
to
judge
upon
the
place
;
only
I
would
have
you
know
,
that
here
is
a
great
resolution
taken
to
right
our
selves
if
the
King
do
it
not
;
and
that
very
speedily
.
I
send
you
herewith
the
copies
of
certain
intercepted
letters
,
which
discover
plainly
the
designs
of
the
spaniards
,
and
the
causes
of
the
delays
that
have
been
used
with
us
.
In
that
of
the
23th
of
may
,
you
shall
see
he
writes
of
a
peace
concluded
between
them
and
Savoy
,
that
a
copy
of
the
articles
had
been
sent
him
by
the
Savoy
Ambassador
.
You
may
assure
the
King
out
of
any
knowledge
,
that
the
Duke
of
Savoy
hath
been
nothing
squeamish
to
accept
of
the
King
of
Spain's
protection
.
And
therefore
if
the
King
finding
himself
parried
,
should
be
drawn
to
a
peace
with
him
,
he
is
to
look
for
no
other
but
to
nourish
a
serpent
in
his
bosome
,
that
will
be
ready
to
sting
him
on
all
occasions
.
You
may
add
if
you
please
(
though
not
out
of
these
letters
)
that
he
is
a
Prince
of
a
high
spirit
,
and
hath
great
designs
in
his
head
.
In
the
letter
of
the
13th
of
June
,
marked
b
.
You
shall
find
mention
of
the
adelantado's
coming
into
the
lowcountries
;
and
that
the
Duke
of
Savoy
is
to
command
the
army
that
shall
enter
into
France
.
I
pray
you
handle
these
matters
so
,
as
the
King
may
be
quickned
,
but
not
disheartened
.
I
have
not
yet
received
my
leave
,
but
I
look
for
it
by
the
next
,
and
then
I
will
presently
over
;
if
I
stay
any
time
at
London
you
shall
hear
from
me
;
if
I
go
into
the
country
,
I
will
leave
order
with
Mr
.
Otwell
smith
,
or
Mr
.
Button
,
to
convey
your
letters
to
me
.
In
the
mean
time
I
pray
you
direct
yours
to
Mr
.
Secretary
,
who
will
be
glad
to
understand
of
the
King's
proceedings
.
I
send
you
herewith
a
cypher
,
which
you
may
use
with
him
or
me
as
you
please
.
You
shall
do
well
to
write
sometimes
to
my
Lord
Treasurer
,
who
is
very
well
affected
to
the
French
amity
.
My
Lord
of
Southampton
and
my
Lord
grey
are
both
gone
into
the
low-countries
,
&
c

very
loving

O
.
S
.
BEing
stayed
here
by
contrary
windes
,
I
thought
good
to
advertise
your
honor
,
that
the
commissioners
of
the
Archduke
are
departed
this
day
towards
bruffells
.
At
their
going
,
they
sent
to
us
to
wish
us
a
good
voyage
;
but
withal
,
richardott
said
to
a
gentleman
of
ours
that
was
sent
unto
him
,
that
he
was
sorry
matters
were
carried
with
so
much
heat
;
and
that
be
hoped
,
when
these
punctillios
were
over
,
we
might
meet
again
with
better
succeffe
.
By
this
I
gather
,
that
they
are
not
unwilling
to
renew
the
treaty
,
if
they
might
have
their
wills
.
But
for
my
part
,
I
think
it
not
for
her
Majesty's
honor
to
seek
it
any
more
.
I
understand
by
a
ship
come
from
Spain
,
that
the
King
is
gone
to
lisbon
;
and
that
there
is
great
sickness
in
the
fleet
.
I
hope
to
pass
over
this
night
,
if
the
wind
serve
.

honor's
most

O.S

BEing
arrived
here
yesterday
,
I
thought
it
my
duty
to
acquaint
your
honor
with
it
;
and
to
beseech
you
to
appoint
a
time
when
I
may
attend
her
Majesty
,
to
give
account
of
my
service
.
I
have
left
Mr

Winwood
in
France
,
according
to
her
Majesty's
plea
sure
;
who
will
advertise
your
honor
of
all
occurrences
there
.
I
hear
that
the
earie
of
gowrie
and
his
brother
have
been
flaine
in
Scotland
,
upon
an
attempt
against
the
King's
person
.
It
is
a
strange
accident
,
and
likely
to
produce
great
alterations
in
that
kingdom
.
I
attend
your
honor's
commandment
.

YOUR
two
letters
of
the
last
of
July
and
third
of
August
I
have
received
,
and
communicated
them
unto
Mr
.
Secretary
,
who
remaynes
very
well
edifyed
of
them
,
and
gives
you
a
very
good
testimony
of
his
approbation
,
which
I
note
unto
you
for
your
comfort
and
incouragement
in
your
pains
there
.
I
understand
by
the
latter
of
those
letters
,
that
you
had
received
two
of
myne
which
I
wrote
from
bulloigne
:
but
the
last
which
I
sent
from
thence
,
containing
a
relation
of
the
state
we
left
the
treaty
in
,
and
a
direction
to
you
how
to
proceede
thereupon
,
I
am
not
sure
whether
it
be
come
to
your
hands
;
and
therefore
in
all
events
,
I
have
thought
good
to
send
you
a
duplicat
of
it
,
praying
you
to
prosecute
those
things
which
you
have
in
charge
,
with
such
vehemency
and
celerity
,
as
conveniently
you
may
.
I
have
dealt
with
the
Ambassador
since
my
return
about
the
merchant's
busines
;
who
hath
promised
to
write
unto
the
King
that
the
arrest
may
be
suspended
till
there
may
be
a
conference
had
and
a
regulation
established
for
those
causes
,
according
to
the
treaty
of
Blois
,
which
he
possesses
to
hold
in
force
.
You
shall
do
well
to
solicit
the
same
effect
.
Her
Majesty
is
very
careful
to
know
how
this
war
proceedeth
between
the
King
and
the
Duke
of
Savoy
:
so
that
you
shall
satisfy
her
very
much
by
writing
often
of
it
.
We
are
persuaded
here
,
notwithstanding
the
progresse
you
write
of
,
and
the
advertisement
the
Ambassador
hath
since
received
that
the
King
was
entred
chambery
,
and
that
monsieur
lesdiguieres
had
surprized
montmelian
by
intelligence
,
that
it
works
all
but
for
a
peace
,
especially
since
you
write
so
much
of
the
King's
aversness
from
the
war
,
and
of
so
small
appearance
of
any
open
assistance
from
Spain
.
I
pray
you
penetrate
that
point
as
much
as
you
may
,
and
advertise
it
by
this
bearer
,
whom
I
have
procured
to
be
sent
over
purposely
,
to
bring
us
some
speedy
news
from
you
.
I
have
acquainted
Mr
.
Secretary
with
the
speech
that
passed
between
the
(
zl
ygiy
dxichn
180
rich
)
Secretary
of
Florence
and
you
,
before
my
coming
from
Paris
;
wherein
he
seemed
to
give
some
assurance
,
that
if
the
treaty
did
not
proceed
with
(
200
)
Spain
,
(
rich
)
the
great
Duke
would
be
contented
to
(
b
r
m
d
h
c
x
p
g
h
w
)
contribute
towards
the
maintenance
of
the
(
z
k
x
I
h
e
w
)
war
.
I
find
(
100
states
)
the
Queen
very
willing
to
embrace
the
offer
,
and
that
you
should
stringere
la
pratica
with
him
,
wherein
I
would
wish
you
to
proceede
in
this
sort
.
First
to
acquaint
him
truely
in
what
terms
(
a
)
the
treaty
stands
;
whereby
he
may
perceive
,
that
it
both
may
,
and
undoubtedly
will
be
(
ew
be
aus
)
revived
,
if
it
be
not
diverted
by
some
new
occasion
.
But
withal
you
may
let
him
know
,
that
(
state
)
the
Queen
hath
been
so
disgusted
with
the
proceeding
hitherto
,
as
it
will
be
no
heard
matter
,
in
your
opinion
,
to
draw
her
from
it
,
if
she
might
see
any
other
course
to
secure
her
self
and
her
estate
;
for
that
is
the
scope
she
aimeth
at
,
and
(
e
w
w
p
g
w
)
peace
she
affecteth
not
for
any
other
respect
.
And
if
to
that
purpose
the
Duke
will
make
any
overture
,
you
may
assure
him
it
will
be
secreatly
handeled
,
and
very
thankfully
accepted
.
And
you
may
propose
unto
him
the
loane
of
some
good
round
summe
of
money
,
or
an
annual
contribution
for
some
years
,
to
be
the
fittest
means
to
make
(
100
)
the
Queen
break
off
the
treaty
;
for
that
will
give
her
means
to
maintain
the
war
,
which
is
the
only
thing
she
sticketh
at
.
You
may
likewise
inquire
,
whether
,
if
the
Queen
should
have
a
purpose
to
set
upon
(
200
)
Spain
by
sea
,
the
Duke
would
be
content
to
join
his
galleys
with
her
fleet
,
and
upon
what
conditions
?
These
things
you
may
handle
with
him
;
and
if
you
find
him
disposed
to
come
to
any
particulars
,
you
may
assure
him
,
I
will
be
at
Paris
within
this
month
,
and
will
bring
authority
to
conclude
with
him
.
But
because
I
would
be
glad
to
know
somewhat
of
his
mind
before
I
come
,
and
likewise
to
carry
the
Queen
some
taste
of
his
good-will
,
to
prepare
her
the
better
against
my
going
.
I
pray
you
send
back
this
Messenger
with
all
speed
,
and
advertise
me
what
you
find
.
Since
my
coming
over
,
I
have
found
my
Lord
of
Essex
his
business
in
no
better
terms
then
I
left
it
;
only
he
hath
his
liberty
,
to
go
to
his
own
house
in
the
country
,
or
any
of
his
unckle's
,
or
friend's
houses
,
so
they
be
not
near
the
court
:
but
he
is
not
yet
admitted
to
the
Queen's
presence
,
neither
is
there
any
hope
of
it
for
a
time
.
The
business
of
the
Earl
of
gowry
in
Scotland
,
I
am
sure
will
be
no
news
to
you
,
otherwise
I
would
have
written
the
particulars
.
And
so
for
this
time
I
take
my
leave
.
Your
very
assured
loving
friend
,
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Ralph
Winwood
.
SIR
,
London
28th
August
1600
.
O.S
.
I
have
received
your
letters
of
the
20th
of
this
month
,
and
am
glad
to
hear
since
my
return
,
I
have
been
graciously
received
by
her
Majesty
;
who
is
pleased
to
approve
of
our
proceedings
at
Boulogne
:
although
she
be
not
satisfied
with
the
issue
of
it
.
But
she
layeth
the
fault
wholly
upon
the
pride
of
the
Spaniard
.
For
my
self
,
I
am
commanded
to
return
to
my
charge
in
France
,
as
soon
as
I
can
dispatch
some
private
business
.
I
would
willingly
be
excused
,
if
it
might
be
;
for
I
am
weary
of
the
service
,
and
my
private
estate
requires
my
presence
at
home
.
But
I
must
obey
.
I
pray
you
continue
your
advertisements
;
and
let
me
know
what
is
done
in
the
matter
of
the
Marquisat
of
Saluces
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
is
said
to
be
arrived
at
Paris
:
I
pray
you
observe
well
his
reception
,
and
what
passeth
between
the
King
and
him
.
We
are
here
full
of
the
Scottish
news
;
the
particularities
whereof
you
shall
receive
by
this
bearer
.
I
pray
you
remember
me
to
all
my
friends
there
.
Your
assured
friend
,
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Ralph
Winwood
.
SIR
,
London
9th
September
1600
.
O.S
.
I
am
appointed
to
set
forward
towards
you
within
these
ten
days
.
I
bring
with
me
her
Majesty's
resolution
touching
the
treaty
,
to
be
imparted
to
the
King
;
which
is
,
that
she
will
not
be
drawn
to
any
new
overtures
,
unlefs
the
King
of
Spain
will
first
crave
it
,
and
defist
from
his
unjust
pretensions
.
I
understand
the
King
is
gone
to
Lyons
.
I
shall
have
a
weary
journey
to
follow
him
thither
.
I
pray
you
take
order
for
a
lodging
for
me
at
Paris
against
my
coming
;
for
I
intend
to
stay
there
some
few
days
to
refresh
my
self
,
before
I
go
to
the
court
.
There
is
no
news
here
,
but
that
the
Earl
of
Essex
is
at
liberty
,
to
go
to
his
own
house
in
the
country
;
but
is
not
yet
admitted
to
the
court
.
I
commend
me
heartily
unto
you
.
Your
assured
friend
,
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Winwood
.
Mr
.
Winwood
,
London
,
2d
Nov
.
1600
.
I
received
your
letters
by
Simons
more
than
a
fortnight
since
,
and
I
received
also
another
from
you
since
that
of
the
30th
of
September
.
I
have
been
enforced
to
defer
my
answers
thus
long
,
because
that
in
the
chief
and
main
points
of
them
,
namely
the
negotiations
you
have
had
with
(
advice
and
respect
)
the
venetian
and
florentine
ambassadors
;
(
state
)
the
Queen
hath
been
very
irresolute
how
to
proceed
.
Partly
from
a
diffidence
,
that
(
rich
and
powers
)
the
great
Duke's
and
the
signory
of
Venice's
good
affection
,
will
extend
no
further
than
to
words
and
wish
,
and
an
unwillingness
thereupon
,
to
discover
any
indigence
with
no
hope
of
fruit
;
and
partly
upon
an
innate
and
inveterate
humor
,
to
desire
things
till
they
be
offered
,
and
then
to
neglect
them
.
I
do
not
doubt
but
in
the
end
,
any
good
offers
that
shall
come
from
that
side
will
be
willingly
embraced
;
but
till
we
see
some
likelihood
,
we
are
loath
to
discover
our
selves
to
need
any
body
.
And
therefore
I
am
willed
for
the
present
thus
to
direct
you
;
to
entertaine
the
matter
as
you
have
begun
in
generalities
,
and
to
advertize
any
particular
overtures
that
they
shall
make
;
and
if
you
be
pressed
to
open
your
self
upon
any
particulars
,
to
answer
that
I
will
be
very
shortly
there
,
and
that
I
shall
come
furnished
with
power
and
instructions
to
treat
of
it
.
Withal
I
am
to
let
you
know
,
that
your
proceeding
,
both
in
this
and
other
things
,
is
very
pleasing
and
acceptable
here
;
and
so
much
delivered
openly
by
Mr
.
Secretary
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
grey
,
Sir
john
stanhop
,
and
my
self
whereupo
my
Lord
grey
toke
occasion
to
do
you
right
in
a
very
kind
manner
.
I
am
now
at
length
enforced
to
return
into
my
charge
after
long
contestation
,
even
to
the
extremity
almost
of
a
commitment
.
All
I
have
won
,
is
a
confirmation
of
the
Queen's
promise
,
that
I
shall
but
serve
out
my
two
years
;
which
how
it
will
be
kept
I
know
not
,
but
I
have
now
some
more
ground
than
I
had
to
press
it
,
and
I
leave
my
wise
behinde
to
solicit
it
:
I
think
to
set
forward
on
my
journey
a
fortnight
hence
.
I
put
it
off
all
I
can
,
because
I
would
avoid
any
further
journey
than
to
Paris
,
hoping
that
the
King
will
now
be
thinking
of
his
return
thither
to
enthronize
his
new
Queen
;
whereof
I
would
have
been
very
glad
to
have
understood
some
certainty
from
you
,
and
do
yet
desire
to
know
as
soon
as
may
be
,
what
is
the
King's
purpose
in
it
;
that
at
my
coming
to
Paris
,
I
may
be
able
to
resolve
what
to
do
.
We
have
news
here
come
from
Paris
,
that
Montmelian
should
be
rendered
,
and
the
sort
St
.
Catherine
is
likely
to
run
the
same
fortune
.
Notwithstanding
,
we
persuade
our
selves
,
both
upon
your
letters
and
otherwise
,
that
all
will
end
in
an
accord
by
the
Pope's
mediation
,
which
I
pray
you
to
penetrate
by
all
means
possible
.
Of
the
solemnity
,
and
all
circumstances
of
the
Queen's
reception
and
marriage
,
you
shall
do
well
to
certify
very
particularly
,
for
such
things
please
here
very
much
.
Touching
the
treaty
with
Spain
,
you
know
in
what
terms
it
was
left
,
and
how
far
it
hath
been
since
proceeded
in
,
you
shall
perceive
by
these
enclosed
copics
.
We
are
in
very
little
conceit
of
it
at
this
time
,
for
(
state
)
the
Queen
seems
resolved
not
to
abandon
(
120
hope
)
the
states
of
Holland
,
without
which
the
matter
will
prove
full
of
inextricable
difficulties
.
Notwithstanding
,
it
is
good
for
our
affairs
that
it
should
be
conceived
otherwise
abroad
,
and
you
shall
do
well
to
entertaine
all
men
in
an
opinion
of
some
speedy
(
xuydrfp
)
meeting
about
it
;
and
so
it
is
likely
enough
there
may
be
,
though
as
idle
as
the
former
,
to
carry
on
our
other
purposes
.
Out
of
Scotland
we
hear
,
there
is
a
purpose
in
this
next
parliament
to
reunite
to
the
Church
all
abbey
lands
,
which
accords
well
with
that
advertisement
which
you
sent
from
(
poverty
)
colvel
.
Bruce
,
and
some
other
ministers
are
put
from
their
charges
,
and
banished
Edinburgh
town
and
the
court
,
with
an
express
prohibition
not
to
come
into
England
.
Their
crime
is
,
that
they
refused
to
declare
the
conspiracy
and
attempt
of
Gowrie
and
his
brother
against
the
King
,
in
such
sort
as
they
were
required
.
The
Earl
of
argyle
and
the
Lord
Wemyss
passed
this
way
lately
into
Scotland
;
they
spake
both
with
the
Queen
publicly
in
the
presence
chamber
,
and
were
graciously
used
,
but
had
no
private
access
to
her
.
I
do
not
find
that
the
advertisement
he
received
from
Sir
thomas
erskine
prevailed
with
him
,
for
I
know
that
he
visited
(
26
)
Mr
.
Secretary
Cecyll
particularly
:
he
was
desirous
also
to
have
visited
(
28
)
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
but
it
was
not
thought
sit
,
otherwise
,
then
in
the
tennis
court
,
where
the
one
came
in
whilst
the
other
was
playing
.
The
Earl
of
Essex
continueth
yet
without
access
to
the
court
.
At
Michaelmas
last
his
lease
of
the
sweet
wines
expired
;
and
after
a
months
suspense
,
whether
it
should
be
granted
him
or
nay
,
it
is
at
length
put
into
Sir
Henry
billingsley's
hands
,
and
others
,
to
husband
it
for
the
Queen
,
which
is
no
argument
of
any
such
relenting
disposition
towards
him
as
was
supposed
.
Yet
notwithstanding
there
is
an
expectation
of
his
running
at
the
coronation-day
,
and
that
it
shall
be
the
first
step
of
his
Grace
and
access
to
the
court
:
but
I
am
not
very
prone
to
believe
it
.
New
officers
or
counselors
there
are
yet
none
made
since
you
went
;
there
hath
been
some
contestation
and
yet
is
,
for
the
chancellorship
of
the
duchy
,
between
Sir
john
stanhop
,
and
Sir
Edward
Stafford
,
and
the
Queen
divided
between
them
upon
promises
claimed
by
both
.
My
Lord
of
rutland
,
my
Lord
of
Southampton
,
and
my
Lord
grey
,
are
returned
out
of
the
low-countries
;
and
an
opinion
there
is
,
that
the
two
latter
are
made
friends
by
the
Queen's
commandment
.
Out
of
Ireland
we
have
good
news
,
that
my
Lord
Deputy
hath
forced
the
passage
of
the
moiry
upon
Tyrone
himself
in
person
,
who
had
entrenched
himself
in
the
place
,
and
hath
killed
five
or
six
hundred
of
his
men
,
and
so
made
himself
way
to
armagh
,
where
he
intends
to
leave
a
garrison
,
and
so
to
return
to
Dublin
.
The
province
of
Munster
is
almost
reduced
from
actual
rebellion
,
and
the
pretended
Desmond
fled
into
Connaught
,
who
hath
very
few
followers
:
and
the
restored
Desmond
is
by
this
time
arrived
there
,
whose
presence
it
is
hoped
will
serve
very
much
to
settle
matters
there
.
The
sales
are
shut
up
,
and
a
parliament
appointed
in
February
.
The
lands
of
the
bishoprick
of
ely
which
were
exchanged
,
are
appointed
to
be
sold
,
to
pay
the
city
,
and
the
duchess's
of
lennox's
lands
to
stop
another
gap
.
There
is
a
company
erecting
of
such
as
shall
trade
to
the
east-indies
,
and
a
fleet
already
designed
for
it
,
whereof
the
charge
will
arise
to
50000
l
.
Your
advertisements
from
(
rich
)
the
Duke
of
Florence
will
be
very
kindly
taken
.
The
Queen
hath
written
an
answer
to
his
letter
,
and
conveyed
it
,
I
take
it
by
some
merchants
means
.
I
have
received
your
bill
for
the
100
crowns
you
had
of
Mr
.
Willaston's
correspondent
at
Lyons
,
and
paid
the
money
.
And
so
hoping
to
see
you
shortly
at
Paris
,
or
further
off
if
there
be
no
remedy
,
I
commend
me
very
heartily
unto
you
,
and
committ
you
to
God
.
Your
very
assured
friend
,
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
P.S
.
We
have
news
here
lately
arrived
,
that
the
King
will
not
return
to
Paris
all
this
winter
:
if
that
be
so
,
you
know
I
must
not
stay
at
Paris
.
And
therefore
in
that
case
,
you
shall
do
well
to
speak
,
that
I
have
a
convenient
lodging
appointed
in
the
place
where
the
King
means
to
reside
.
I
have
received
all
the
letters
you
mention
,
saving
that
of
the
15th
of
August
,
which
perished
with
richard
the
post
,
between
deep
and
Dover
.
I
had
purposed
to
have
sent
by
an
express
Messenger
,
but
that
is
staid
till
we
here
once
again
from
you
;
therefore
I
thought
good
to
send
this
by
the
way
of
Rouen
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Winwood
.
Mr
.
Winwood
,
London
,
15th
Nov
.
1600
.
I
wrote
unto
you
the
second
of
this
month
by
the
way
of
Rouen
,
and
some
few
days
after
I
sent
you
by
parnel
(
one
of
the
King's
courriers
)
a
letter
of
advice
,
and
a
bill
of
exchange
from
Mr
.
Bash
to
constantin
for
50
l
.
Sterl
.
And
have
here
enclosed
sent
you
the
second
bill
for
the
same
.
Mr
.
Bash
hath
likewise
written
unto
him
to
deliver
you
what
you
shall
require
besides
.
About
four
days
since
I
received
your
letters
of
the
5th
and
7th
of
October
:
whereupon
,
misdoubting
I
should
receive
no
more
in
any
short
time
from
you
,
I
obtained
warrant
of
Mr
.
Secretary
to
dispatch
this
express
Messenger
,
that
he
might
be
returned
against
my
arrival
at
Paris
,
and
bring
me
some
certain
advertisement
from
you
,
what
the
King
means
to
do
,
that
I
may
thereupon
determine
either
to
stay
for
him
at
Paris
,
or
go
on
further
.
By
my
last
I
signified
,
that
for
some
respects
,
I
was
willed
to
direct
you
to
entertaine
in
generalities
,
the
overtures
you
had
begun
with
(
advice
and
respect
)
the
venetian
and
florentine
ambassadors
,
referring
the
particulars
till
my
coming
;
for
it
is
purposed
,
that
I
shall
bring
full
power
and
instruction
,
to
agree
of
all
those
particularities
that
you
wrote
of
.
In
the
mean
time
,
if
they
have
proposed
any
thing
that
shall
be
needful
to
be
thought
of
,
I
pray
you
advertise
it
by
this
bearer
,
that
I
may
procure
a
speedy
resolution
in
it
,
before
I
confer
with
them
.
Touching
the
arrest
of
the
privy
council
there
,
whereof
both
you
and
I
have
complained
;
although
monsieur
de
Villeroy
hath
told
you
,
that
he
had
sent
the
King's
answer
to
his
Ambassador
here
;
yet
we
can
receive
none
from
him
but
this
,
that
he
will
undertake
that
the
merchants
goods
shall
not
be
confiscated
,
but
of
any
direct
answer
touching
the
matter
,
he
will
take
no
knowledge
.
Which
kind
of
juggling
between
them
,
methinks
is
very
strange
,
and
deserves
to
be
more
seriously
apprehended
than
I
see
it
is
;
but
at
my
coming
I
will
put
it
to
an
issue
one
way
or
other
.
We
have
diverse
bruits
here
of
the
Count
Fuentes
joining
his
forces
with
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
and
of
an
encounter
between
them
and
the
King's
forces
,
wherein
the
French
should
have
had
the
worst
;
also
of
the
yielding
of
Montmelian
to
the
King
before
the
term
expired
,
upon
private
conditions
made
by
the
governor
;
and
of
a
discontent
grown
between
the
King
and
the
Duke
of
Guise
about
the
discovery
of
an
enterprise
upon
Nice
,
all
which
I
give
no
credit
to
,
because
you
write
nothing
of
them
.
Of
the
Marshal
Biron's
proceeding
in
Bresse
,
we
have
heard
nothing
a
long
time
,
neither
know
we
whether
the
citadel
of
Bourg
be
rendered
or
not
,
or
what
resistance
is
made
in
those
parts
.
I
pray
you
advertise
,
what
conceit
you
learn
that
the
princes
of
Italy
have
of
this
war
;
and
penetrate
as
much
as
you
may
,
what
the
King's
intentions
are
if
the
war
should
continue
.
It
is
likely
,
that
at
the
cardinall
aldobrandino's
coming
,
there
will
be
some
secret
practice
against
them
of
the
religion
.
I
do
not
doubt
but
they
be
jealous
enough
of
it
,
and
therefore
open-eyed
to
observe
what
is
done
:
and
I
know
not
to
whom
they
should
more
gladly
communicate
it
,
than
to
her
Majesty's
ministers
.
Discover
I
pray
you
,
when
you
may
of
it
,
and
let
me
understand
it
.
I
would
be
glad
to
have
the
contract
of
the
King's
marriage
,
I
pray
you
procure
it
if
you
can
.
Hearken
after
aldobrandino's
negotiation
by
all
means
.
We
are
full
of
a
report
,
and
almost
of
an
opinion
,
that
he
which
hath
been
so
long
a
prisoner
at
Venice
,
is
now
discovered
to
be
the
true
Sebastian
,
by
many
secret
tokens
upon
his
body
;
confirmed
out
of
Portugal
by
those
which
knew
him
both
child
and
man
.
I
pray
you
inform
your
self
well
of
it
,
and
clear
us
of
that
point
if
you
may
.
If
(
resolution
)
the
Duke
de
Bouillon
be
come
to
the
court
,
I
could
wish
you
did
sound
him
and
(
religion
)
Monsieur
de
Rosny
,
to
that
effect
that
I
have
written
heretofore
;
for
we
are
now
in
great
hope
of
the
reduction
of
(
151
)
Ireland
,
upon
the
success
we
have
lately
had
,
and
therefore
the
more
prone
to
embrace
hopefull
and
generous
counsaills
.
So
that
any
encouragement
from
thence
would
come
very
seasonably
to
embark
us
frankely
into
some
gallant
action
.
(
428
)
The
Earl
of
Essex
is
no
actor
in
our
triumphs
,
as
I
wrote
was
conceived
,
but
yet
is
not
out
of
hope
of
some
melioration
of
fortune
.
Out
of
(
205
)
Scotland
we
hear
,
there
is
no
good
agreement
,
but
rather
an
open
diffidence
between
(
165
counsel
)
the
King
of
scots
and
his
wise
;
and
many
are
of
opinion
,
that
the
discovery
of
some
affection
between
her
and
the
Earl
gowry's
brother
,
(
who
was
killed
with
him
)
was
the
truest
cause
and
motive
of
all
that
tragedy
.
If
you
meet
with
Colvel
at
Avignon
,
I
hope
he
hath
delivered
you
some
more
light
of
their
intentions
.
His
last
advertisements
which
you
sent
by
Simons
,
were
not
to
be
contemned
;
we
are
much
distasted
with
that
which
we
hear
daily
to
that
purpose
.
But
I
do
not
see
that
we
go
about
to
provide
any
remedy
,
especially
any
lenitive
,
but
rather
such
as
is
likely
to
exasperate
,
and
consequently
hasten
the
mischief
.
We
have
yet
no
answer
to
the
letter
written
to
Richardot
,
whereof
I
sent
you
a
copy
in
mine
of
the
2d
of
this
month
,
therefor
I
can
make
no
judgment
of
the
progress
of
that
matter
.
But
my
opinion
is
,
we
may
be
seconded
in
any
competent
measure
from
those
parts
;
otherwise
there
is
no
doubt
but
we
shall
be
forced
to
strike
sayle
in
the
end
.
The
indian
voyage
goeth
on
a
main
,
the
charge
will
be
about
54000
l
.
I
pray
you
lay
hold
of
the
offer
made
you
by
(
advice
)
the
Ambassador
of
Florence
,
for
the
settling
of
intelligence
from
(
200
)
Spain
:
and
if
you
light
on
any
other
good
means
whiles
you
are
in
these
parts
,
neglect
it
not
.
I
suppose
you
make
some
use
of
(
dissimulation
)
the
Duke
de
espernon's
Secretary
,
which
if
I
might
know
,
I
would
provide
a
nagg
to
bestow
upon
him
.
I
think
to
be
at
Paris
about
the
middle
of
December
;
where
,
if
you
find
the
King
resolved
to
come
thither
before
Christmas
,
I
would
you
would
meet
me
;
but
if
otherwise
,
write
me
so
much
by
this
bearer
,
and
stay
till
you
hear
again
:
for
if
the
King
be
likely
to
return
to
Paris
within
a
month
after
I
come
,
I
will
make
no
haste
to
him
,
otherwise
I
will
resolve
to
go
on
.
And
so
for
this
time
I
commend
me
heartily
unto
you
,
and
committ
you
to
God
.
Your
very
loving
friend
,
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Winwood
.
Mr
.
Winwood
,
London
,
28th
Dec
.
1600
.
YOUR
two
letters
of
the
fourth
and
eighth
of
this
month
came
both
at
once
to
my
hands
upon
Christmas-day
,
the
one
by
Simons
,
and
the
other
by
Parnell
;
which
I
sent
presently
to
Mr
.
Secretary
,
my
self
being
then
in
a
shrewd
sit
of
the
stone
,
which
hath
likewise
forced
me
to
keep
in
ever
since
.
But
I
understand
,
the
Queen
received
very
great
contentment
and
satisfaction
of
your
letters
,
and
hath
been
inquisitive
of
you
,
both
of
my
unckle
killigrew
and
others
;
to
whom
I
have
given
direction
,
to
answer
upon
the
like
occasion
,
that
which
I
hope
may
produce
some
good
effect
towards
you
.
I
shall
not
need
to
write
you
much
now
,
because
I
intend
my
dispatch
presently
after
the
holydays
;
having
indeed
stayed
for
nothing
else
any
time
these
three
weeks
,
but
for
the
two
letters
which
the
Queen
intends
to
write
with
her
own
hand
to
the
King
and
the
Queen
,
which
she
forbore
to
write
because
of
a
little
rhume
she
had
,
which
is
now
past
,
thanks
be
to
God
.
Although
my
dispatch
be
like
to
be
so
speedy
,
yet
I
hope
to
hear
once
more
from
you
before
my
going
,
and
receive
some
more
certainty
of
the
King's
resolution
for
the
passing
of
this
winter
,
which
is
the
thing
that
most
imports
me
in
my
own
particular
.
If
the
Queen
and
the
counsaill
come
back
to
Paris
,
though
the
King
should
stay
in
those
parts
some
time
after
,
I
think
you
may
very
well
return
,
for
it
is
like
he
will
not
be
long
behinde
.
I
wish
that
before
my
coming
,
you
made
some
little
summons
to
some
contentment
this
year
,
and
not
to
forget
her
in
the
making
of
the
estimate
.
For
by
their
answer
,
I
shall
discover
somewhat
of
their
intention
,
and
be
the
better
prepared
to
deal
with
them
at
my
coming
.
The
things
which
I
do
especially
recommend
unto
your
care
to
penetrate
in
the
mean
time
,
are
the
cardinall's
negotiations
,
and
the
intention
,
both
of
the
French
and
spaniards
,
about
this
war
of
Savoy
.
For
our
parts
,
I
think
we
shall
some
time
in
February
or
march
,
resume
the
treaty
;
but
the
naming
the
commissioners
is
deferred
,
till
the
answer
comes
to
the
last
letters
we
sent
to
brussells
,
which
we
expect
within
eight
or
ten
days
.
Here
hath
been
an
expectation
any
time
this
month
,
of
5000
men
to
come
out
of
Spain
by
sea
into
the
low-countries
,
and
provision
made
both
by
the
Queen
and
the
states
to
encounter
them
;
but
the
wind
hath
been
so
constant
in
the
north
,
till
within
these
three
days
,
that
we
have
heard
nothing
of
them
.
If
they
come
,
I
hope
they
will
not
find
that
fortune
that
the
galleys
did
.
You
write
of
the
return
of
Monsieur
de
la
Rochepot's
Secretary
out
of
Spain
:
we
have
a
news
here
,
that
himself
is
coming
back
likewise
;
and
it
is
written
from
Bayonne
,
that
the
King
there
,
hath
not
yet
confirmed
and
sworn
to
the
peace
.
I
pray
you
lay
hold
of
the
offer
which
was
made
you
by
(
advice
)
the
Ambassador
of
Florence
,
to
procure
some
good
intelligence
out
of
(
200
)
Spain
,
for
ours
here
is
very
weak
I
fear
.
My
Lord
Deputy
of
Ireland
hath
in
his
return
from
Armagh
,
sought
again
with
Tyrone
in
the
same
place
,
and
beaten
him
,
and
forced
his
passage
,
which
we
account
a
piece
of
very
good
service
.
The
Earl
of
Clanrickard
hath
had
a
draught
also
at
the
rebels
of
Connacht
.
Donell
Sparmigh
a
great
rebel
is
come
in
,
and
hath
given
his
sons
in
hostage
.
Torlough
(
Mr
.
Henry
)
a
principal
rebel
is
dead
lately
.
My
Lord
is
now
again
in
the
field
,
to
scowre
and
clear
the
province
of
Leinster
,
and
the
county
of
Leix
,
from
the
straggling
rebels
there
;
and
Munster
,
as
I
have
written
before
,
is
held
very
peaceable
.
So
as
in
conclusion
,
we
are
in
hope
that
the
heart
of
that
rebellion
is
broken
,
and
that
in
one
year
more
there
will
be
a
great
work
wrought
there
,
ainsi
soit
il
.
And
so
,
with
hearty
commendations
from
all
your
friends
,
and
namely
from
my
sister
,
who
is
a
wife
of
some
fifteen
days
standing
;
and
who
with
my
wife
thanks
you
for
your
tokens
,
I
commit
you
to
God
.
Your
very
loving
friend

YOUR
letters
of
the
2d
and
13th
of
this
month
arrived
here
the
21th
,
and
yesterday
the
Queen
finished
her
two
letters
to
the
King
and
Queen
;
so
as
I
look
now
to
be
dispatched
forthwith
,
and
to
set
forward
,
about
the
morrow
after
Candlemas-day
.
I
mean
to
come
by
Rouen
wheresoever
I
land
,
because
I
would
make
a
beginning
with
the
commissioners
there
,
in
some
course
of
justice
,
for
the
wrongs
we
have
received
by
the
French
,
as
well
as
they
have
pursued
their
complaints
,
and
received
satisfaction
here
.
I
would
be
glad
to
meet
you
there
,
for
that
and
other
causes
;
but
I
would
not
wish
you
to
stir
,
till
you
hear
more
;
for
upon
my
arrivall
I
will
presently
dispatch
one
to
you
,
so
as
you
may
meet
me
time
enough
at
Rouen
.
Since
my
last
by
Romain
,
my
Lord
of
Pembroke
is
dead
,
having
left
his
son
but
two
months
within
age
.
We
are
in
expectation
of
a
vice
chamberlaine
,
and
a
Chancellor
of
the
duchy
,
viz
.
Sir
Walter
Raleigh
,
and
Sir
John
Stanhope
;
and
that
Serjeant
Heale
shall
be
Master
of
the
Rolls
,
upon
sundry
good
considerations
:
many
other
matters
I
refer
till
our
meeting
.
In
the
mean
time
being
glad
of
your
safe
return
to
Paris
,
I
end
with
hearty
commendations
from
my
self
and
all
your
friends
.
And
so
I
committ
you
to
God
.
Your
very
loving
friend
,
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
,
I
pray
you
remember
to
put
the
Duke
de
Bouillon
and
Monsieur
de
Rosny
in
mind
of
the
money
,
if
they
come
to
Paris
before
me
,
for
the
time
draws
on
apace
.
Sir
Henry
Neville

SIR
,
London
,
16th
Feb
.
1603
.
SOON
after
I
had
written
unto
you
from
my
own
house
at
shellingford
,
I
removed
to
my
other
house
,
and
within
a
few
days
after
one
of
my
servants
fell
sick
of
the
plague
and
dyed
,
and
two
other
were
sick
of
it
,
but
recovered
.
By
this
evil
accident
I
was
driven
to
forsake
my
house
,
and
to
disperse
my
family
,
and
my
self
made
unfit
for
any
company
,
and
especially
for
the
court
,
and
this
was
the
cause
why
I
received
not
your
second
letter
till
it
was
almost
Christmas
,
and
which
made
me
also
so
backward
to
answer
it
,
which
I
pray
you
excuse
.
Now
having
received
a
third
letter
from
you
by
your
Servant
moor
,
I
cannot
but
let
you
know
how
thankfully
I
take
your
kind
remembrance
of
me
,
and
how
willing
I
would
be
to
make
it
appear
more
than
in
words
,
if
in
your
absence
you
would
make
any
use
of
me
.
I
know
you
have
many
friends
of
whose
affection
you
may
be
assured
,
but
none
more
desirous
to
approve
his
love
than
I
am
;
therefore
if
you
will
have
me
think
you
esteem
it
,
I
pray
you
use
it
,
and
use
it
freely
.
To
requite
your
advertisements
with
others
of
like
worth
,
I
cannot
;
and
I
know
your
other
friends
which
know
more
then
I
,
will
not
leave
you
ignorant
of
such
things
as
pass
here
.
For
as
much
as
concerns
my
self
,
I
acknowledge
the
admonition
you
give
in
the
end
of
your
letter
to
be
very
good
;
and
I
hold
it
the
duty
of
every
honest
man
to
dedicate
his
life
to
those
ends
,
more
then
to
bis
private
contentment
.
But
withal
I
think
it
may
satisfy
any
man's
conscience
,
that
he
shunns
not
service
imposed
;
and
I
hold
no
man
bound
to
seek
imployments
.
Those
of
honor
I
know
are
too
high
for
me
;
and
if
I
did
not
know
it
,
yet
others
do
.
To
the
same
I
have
bad
,
or
meaner
in
that
kind
,
I
know
you
would
not
advice
me
:
yet
those
I
have
not
refused
.
To
live
in
court
,
where
non
proficere
is
deficere
,
without
any
office
,
business
or
regard
,
were
the
next
degree
to
idleness
:
what
remains
for
me
to
do
then
,
but
which
I
do
?
That
is
,
to
attend
the
care
of
my
private
state
and
family
,
wherewith
I
only
stand
charged
,
and
to
leave
the
care
of
public
affairs
,
unto
those
to
whom
they
are
committed
.
I
know
your
wish
proceeds
of
much
good
will
to
me
;
and
I
concurr
willingly
to
wish
the
same
,
if
they
will
think
me
worthy
in
whose
power
it
is
.
And
in
both
or
any
that
shall
befall
me
,
I
will
ever
desire
you
to
esteem
me
your
entirely
affectionated
friend
,
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
From
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Winwood
.
SIR
,
London
,
19th
August
1604
.
YOU
have
very
fully
and
very
kindly
satisfied
my
request
touching
the
treaties
between
France
and
Scotland
,
and
have
therein
done
me
a
very
great
pleasure
.
I
would
you
would
employ
me
in
any
thing
here
,
wherein
I
might
requite
you
;
for
as
for
that
which
you
recommended
me
in
your
last
,
I
cannot
learn
that
there
is
any
cause
of
doubt
,
or
need
to
use
any
friend
in
it
:
but
I
will
be
both
open-eyed
and
ear'd
from
time
to
time
,
to
discover
and
prevent
any
inconveniency
that
may
grow
unto
you
that
way
,
to
the
best
of
my
power
.
We
are
now
full
of
jollity
,
giving
entertainment
to
the
constable
;
who
(
as
I
hear
)
hath
neither
in
pomp
nor
sufficiencye
answered
the
expectation
we
have
conceived
of
him
.
The
peace
is
to
be
ratifyed
by
the
King
upon
Sunday
next
,
and
his
oath
taken
;
and
that
day
the
King
intends
to
feast
him
,
and
the
next
day
to
dismiss
him
,
and
to
return
to
his
interrupted
progress
,
which
he
much
affects
.
My
Lord
Cecyll
in
the
mean
time
intends
a
journey
to
the
hath
,
and
I
hope
will
take
a
lodging
at
my
house
the
first
night
,
and
second
thereby
a
late
favor
he
did
me
to
christen
my
son
.
Our
court
affairs
are
as
they
were
,
and
so
are
like
to
continue
.
We
speak
of
my
Lord
of
hertford's
going
into
Spain
to
take
the
King's
oath
,
and
that
Sir
william
Cecyll
shall
accompany
him
to
remain
there
.
For
the
French
employment
,
if
Sir
thomas
parry
be
recalled
,
(
as
they
say
he
labors
to
be
)
they
talk
of
Sir
john
hollis
or
Sir
edwin
sandys
;
the
former
peradventure
may
shun
it
,
but
the
latter
I
am
sure
will
not
.
The
employment
with
the
Archduke
I
think
will
fall
upon
Sir
thomas
edmunds
,
but
I
know
not
yet
who
shall
be
sent
to
take
his
oath
.
We
say
the
Spanish
ambassadors
have
taken
up
many
jewells
here
,
(
we
suppose
to
bestow
upon
our
grandees
;
so
not
to
leave
any
advantage
to
the
French
,
who
began
that
angling
fashion
unto
them
)
with
the
King's
privity
and
all
mens
wonder
.
All
our
discourse
and
expectation
is
now
,
what
advantage
the
states
will
make
of
the
taking
of
Sluce
,
and
how
they
will
prosecute
it
;
whereof
I
would
be
glad
at
your
leisure
to
understand
your
opinion
.
And
so
commending
my
self
very
kindly
to
you
and
mrs
.
Winwood
,
to
whom
I
wish
as
much
happiness
when
the
hour
comes
,
as
my
wise
I
thank
God
had
of
late
,
I
committ
you
,
and
all
your
affairs
there
,
to
the
Grace
and
favor
of
God
.
Your
very
assured
friend
to
my
best
power
,
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Winwood
.
SIR
,
London
,
1st
Nov
.
1604
.
THOUGH
in
much
pain
of
the
gout
(
which
with
shame
I
do
now
acknowledge
,)
I
could
not
dismiss
this
Messenger
,
without
a
line
or
two
of
salutations
.
What
is
done
in
your
business
with
my
Lord
of
cranbourne
your
man
will
inform
you
;
which
tho
'
it
be
not
so
much
as
I
wished
and
as
had
been
sit
,
yet
I
was
the
gladder
of
,
because
it
was
accompanyed
with
so
many
good
words
and
professions
towards
you
;
which
I
hope
he
will
perform
,
because
I
know
you
will
ever
deserve
them
.
I
pray
now
be
not
discouraged
by
the
smal
success
you
have
found
in
this
,
from
imploying
me
in
your
other
occasions
;
it
may
be
I
shall
be
more
fortunate
in
some
other
,
or
howsoever
,
you
shall
ever
find
my
affections
ready
,
and
you
shall
do
me
a
pleasure
to
use
it
.
We
are
now
entred
into
the
conference
of
this
great
business
of
the
union
;
but
I
have
not
yet
been
present
at
any
meeting
,
therefore
I
will
reserve
my
writing
till
I
be
able
to
make
some
more
judgment
of
it
.
In
the
mean
time
I
pray
you
inform
your
self
as
conveniently
as
you
may
,
in
what
form
those
severall
provinces
of
severall
soveraignties
did
joyn
in
the
assembly
of
the
states
General
,
after
they
were
united
under
one
Prince
;
and
how
matters
were
determined
in
their
General
assemblies
to
bind
all
the
provinces
in
charles
the
fifth's
time
,
and
three
or
four
descents
before
him
.
Likewise
I
pray
you
take
information
,
what
customs
the
low
country
men
paid
in
Spain
,
or
the
spaniards
there
,
after
they
were
united
;
whether
as
strangers
,
or
as
natural
born
in
the
country
,
or
in
any
mixt
kind
.
These
be
things
which
we
may
happily
have
cause
to
know
and
to
make
use
of
;
and
if
it
please
you
to
help
me
with
your
knowledge
in
them
,
you
shall
add
no
smal
measure
to
your
former
kindness
.
I
hear
lately
of
some
muttering
,
as
if
Sir
thomas
smith
would
put
over
his
place
to
jones
.
Ashby
also
is
thought
to
grow
weary
,
or
unfit
for
the
place
.
I
do
not
see
how
any
of
these
alterations
can
prejudice
you
,
considering
the
priority
you
have
;
but
I
will
talk
with
Sir
thomas
bodely
,
and
if
there
be
cause
,
we
will
both
join
our
endeavours
to
prevent
any
wrong
that
may
grow
thereby
unto
you
.
So
longing
to
hear
that
mrs

Winwood
has
made
you
a
glad
father
,
with
that
and
all
other
my
best
wish
unto
you
both
,
I
take
my
leave
,
from
my
bed
at
the
star-chamber
.
Your
assured
friend
to
my
best
power

HENRY
NEVILLE

Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr

Winwood
.
SIR
,
London
,
8th
Dec
.
1604
.
WE
have
at
length
concluded
the
conference
about
the
union
,
to
his
Majesty's
very
good
satisfaction
,
as
he
witnessed
by
the
speech
he
made
unto
us
,
when
we
presented
him
the
instrument
under
our
scales
.
The
points
which
we
agreed
upon
are
shortly
these
:
that
all
hostile
laws
made
between
either
kingdom
,
shall
be
abolished
,
that
the
border
laws
and
customs
shall
be
likewise
abollished
,
and
justice
ministred
hereafter
according
to
the
ordinary
laws
of
each
kingdom
.
That
there
be
free
intercourse
of
trade
between
the
kingdoms
without
paying
any
customs
for
all
commodities
,
(
except
sheep
,
wool
,
wool-fells
,
cattle
,
hides
,
and
leather
,
which
are
wholly
prohibited
)
so
as
there
be
sufficient
caution
given
,
not
to
transport
any
of
the
said
commodities
into
any
foreign
parts
out
of
the
kingdom
.
That
it
shall
be
lawful
for
the
subjects
of
the
one
kingdom
to
bring
into
the
other
any
foreign
commodities
,
paying
the
custom
used
in
that
kingdom
where
they
arrive
.
But
because
it
appears
that
the
Scottish
men
have
a
privelidge
in
France
,
whereby
they
are
exempted
from
paying
of
the
custome
that
the
English
and
other
forreigners
pay
upon
transportation
,
it
is
therefore
agreed
,
that
whatsoever
they
pay
less
then
we
there
,
they
shall
pay
so
much
more
then
we
here
for
French
commodities
,
except
such
as
are
brought
out
of
the
river
of
bourdeaux
,
where
it
appears
that
our
privelidge
is
as
great
as
theirs
.
That
it
shall
be
lawful
for
the
subjects
of
either
kingdom
,
to
carry
out
of
the
other
,
the
natural
commodities
thereof
,
paying
the
ordinary
custome
;
but
so
,
as
the
Scottish
men
trade
not
with
any
of
our
commodities
,
to
any
place
where
our
companies
are
established
,
in
any
other
sort
then
the
common
subject
of
England
may
do
which
hath
no
privelidge
.
That
it
shall
be
lawful
for
either
nation
to
freight
the
ships
of
the
other
.
That
either
nation
shall
be
enabled
to
be
free
of
any
company
or
corporation
of
the
other
,
serving
for
it
,
or
attaining
it
by
purchase
,
in
such
sort
as
those
of
the
same
nation
do
,
where
the
company
or
corporation
is
.
That
it
shall
be
declared
by
parliament
,
that
the
law
already
is
,
(
for
so
the
judges
have
declared
it
)
that
all
the
subjects
of
either
kingdom
,
born
since
Queen
Elizabeth's
death
,
are
naturallized
in
the
other
to
all
intents
and
purposes
;
and
for
those
born
before
,
it
is
agreed
that
they
shall
be
naturallized
to
all
purposes
,
and
enabled
to
all
capacities
,
each
in
the
other
,
except
to
have
voice
and
seance
in
parliament
,
and
to
bear
any
office
of
the
crown
,
or
judicature
:
which
three
points
we
have
thought
good
to
reserve
till
the
union
be
made
perfect
in
other
things
,
which
could
not
be
done
at
this
time
.
The
last
article
begat
more
debate
and
contestation
then
all
the
rest
,
as
that
which
touched
the
freehold
of
the
principal
of
both
sides
,
and
imported
them
most
in
their
particular
,
the
one
side
to
seek
,
the
other
to
exclude
.
But
in
the
end
the
King
was
won
to
our
side
,
and
so
it
was
concluded
in
this
form
.
This
is
the
substance
of
the
acts
of
this
conference
,
which
I
am
forced
to
send
you
in
this
short
and
imperfect
kind
,
because
copyes
are
utterly
forbidden
till
the
parliament
,
and
an
oath
hath
been
taken
of
the
clerks
of
both
sides
to
that
purpose
.
The
Scottish
men
have
given
us
very
good
satisfaction
during
this
conference
,
as
well
for
their
sufficiency
,
as
their
modest
and
respective
carriage
,
which
hath
been
very
well
answered
on
our
part
,
as
far
as
the
matter
would
permit
.
Among
others
,
the
Lord
Secretary
of
Scotland
hath
gotten
much
reputation
.
We
have
been
somewhat
troubled
of
late
about
a
seizure
made
at
Rouen
of
our
English
cloth
to
a
great
value
,
and
the
King's
peremptory
answer
made
to
the
Ambassador
,
when
he
dealt
with
him
in
it
:
but
upon
a
late
conference
with
monsieur
de
beaumont
,
there
is
some
hope
given
of
a
mittigation
of
that
rigour
.
It
is
reported
comonly
that
our
merchants
are
ill
used
in
Spain
by
the
inquisition
;
and
besides
,
that
the
trade
proves
nothing
so
beneficial
as
was
expected
;
partly
by
reason
that
the
merchants
there
are
become
poor
by
these
wars
,
and
not
able
to
buy
but
upon
days
,
and
many
of
those
that
have
been
trusted
have
play'd
bankrupts
,
insomuch
,
as
some
of
ours
have
brought
back
their
commodities
,
rather
then
they
would
sell
upon
credit
;
and
partly
,
by
reason
,
that
in
this
time
of
long
restraint
of
trade
,
they
have
been
forced
to
betake
themselves
to
the
making
of
cloth
there
,
and
do
make
it
now
in
that
quantity
,
as
they
care
not
much
for
ours
,
which
was
wont
to
be
our
chiefest
trade
thither
.
And
as
for
corn
,
the
French
,
both
by
reason
of
their
nearness
and
abundance
will
ever
furnish
them
better
cheap
then
we
can
.
So
as
there
appears
little
hope
of
any
fruit
of
our
peace
in
that
regard
;
which
joined
with
some
other
considerations
of
state
that
have
reference
to
your
affairs
there
,
begins
to
cool
that
ardent
affection
which
carried
us
so
strongly
to
that
treaty
,
and
begets
some
discourses
,
(
even
amongst
our
greatest
governours
)
that
this
will
be
but
a
short
peace
.
And
for
a
proof
that
we
intend
not
to
abandon
your
business
,
I
understand
very
lately
that
there
is
a
regiment
of
Scottish
men
to
be
levyed
shortly
for
the
states
service
under
the
charge
of
the
Lord
burleigh
;
and
I
find
that
they
which
complain
here
,
that
the
states
impeach
their
trade
and
passage
to
the
Archduke's
countrys
,
have
but
cold
answers
,
and
receive
sometimes
a
check
for
their
forwardness
that
way
,
as
if
it
proceeded
of
no
good
affection
.
And
this
being
as
much
as
I
think
worthy
your
knowledge
at
this
time
,
I
will
here
conclude
with
my
best
wish
unto
you
and
mrs
.
Winwood
,
and
remain
evermore
your
very
assured
friend
to
be
disposed
of

NEVILLE

SIR

.
I
wrote
so
lately
unto
you
as
I
have
not
much
to
add
now
,
yet
I
would
not
omit
this
opportunity
to
acknowledge
the
receipt
of
your
two
letters
of
the
fourth
of
may
and
the
third
of
June
,
that
you
may
know
they
be
come
safe
to
my
hands
.
Concerning
the
disorder
in
wales
,
whereof
I
made
mention
in
my
last
,
it
seems
the
lords
have
taken
some
apprehension
of
it
,
and
have
sent
down
my
Lord
of
worcester
,
who
is
potent
in
those
parts
,
to
settle
and
quiet
all
things
there
.
The
King
sent
for
all
the
judges
lately
,
and
gave
them
a
very
straight
charge
to
be
diligent
and
severe
in
their
circuits
against
recusants
,
and
to
execute
the
laws
in
that
behalf
made
,
and
namely
those
which
concern
their
banishing
or
confining
.
Yet
it
is
generally
feared
that
there
will
be
none
of
the
priests

SIR
,
21th
June
1605
.
I
wrote
so
lately
unto
you
as
I
have
not
much
to
add
now
,
yet
I
would
not
omit
this
opportunity
to
acknowledge
the
receipt
of
your
two
letters
of
the
fourth
of
may
and
the
third
of
June
,
that
you
may
know
they
be
come
safe
to
my
hands
.
Concerning
the
disorder
in
wales
,
whereof
I
made
mention
in
my
last
,
it
seems
the
lords
have
taken
some
apprehension
of
it
,
and
have
sent
down
my
Lord
of
worcester
,
who
is
potent
in
those
parts
,
to
settle
and
quiet
all
things
there
.
The
King
sent
for
all
the
judges
lately
,
and
gave
them
a
very
straight
charge
to
be
diligent
and
severe
in
their
circuits
against
recusants
,
and
to
execute
the
laws
in
that
behalf
made
,
and
namely
those
which
concern
their
banishing
or
confining
.
Yet
it
is
generally
feared
that
there
will
be
none
of
the
priests
executed
,
without
which
I
doubt
all
the
other
provision
will
be
fruitless
,
for
they
are
the
root
and
fountaine
of
all
the
mischief
.
It
seems
the
rule
is
here
forgotten
,
d'estre
ou
tout
bon
ou
tout
mauvais
,
and
that
this
via
di
mezzo
is
ever
the
worst
.
For
my
part
I
am
persuaded
they
are
irrecoverable
,
and
will
never
be
satisfied
,
nor
made
sure
to
the
state
,
unless
they
may
have
their
whole
desire
at
the
full
.
And
howsoever
they
pretend
now
to
seek
only
impunity
,
yet
that
obtained
,
assuredly
they
will
not
rest
there
,
till
they
have
obtained
a
further
liberty
:
therefore
if
we
mean
not
to
grant
all
,
we
were
as
good
deny
all
,
and
put
them
to
an
issue
betimes
,
either
to
obey
or
not
,
lest
it
break
out
alieniore
tempore
when
they
be
more
prepared
,
and
we
peradventure
entangled
in
some
other
business
.
But
I
am
out
of
my
proper
orb
when
I
enter
into
state
matters
;
I
will
therefore
leave
these
considerations
to
those
to
whom
they
appertaine
,
and
think
of
my
husbandry
in
the
country
,
which
puts
me
often
in
mind
of
that
beatitude
which
horace
so
much
commends
.
Yet
I
do
not
so
wean
my
self
from
these
thoughts
,
but
I
will
be
always
glad
of
your
letters
,
and
to
understand
by
them
how
the
world
goeth
with
you
there
;
for
I
concur
with
you
,
that
he
must
be
very
senseless
,
that
doth
not
discerne
how
necessary
your
conversation
there
is
for
our
estate
.
I
will
hold
you
no
longer
at
this
time
,
but
conclude
,
wishing
you
all
happiness
and
contentment
in
your
employment
,
and
my
self
often
with
you
;
and
so
I
remain
ever
more
your
assured
friend
to
be
disposed
of
,
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Winwood
.
SIR
,
11th
march
1605
.
I
have
been
the
longer
silent
,
because
I
was
desirous
before
I
wrote
to
penetrate
as
far
as
I
could
into
this
mystery
of
your
recall
from
your
imploysent
,
which
was
commonly
spoken
of
.
For
a
time
I
did
believe
(
for
so
it
was
directly
told
me
)
that
it
had
proceeded
from
your
desire
;
at
which
I
must
confess
I
was
somewhat
amazed
,
considering
what
you
left
there
,
and
what
you
were
like
to
find
here
.
But
not
satisfied
with
common
reports
,
I
adventured
to
ask
Mr
.
Levinus
of
it
,
who
after
some
tergiversations
,
told
me
at
length
,
that
he
thought
that
it
proceeded
not
so
much
,
either
of
your
desire
to
leave
the
place
,
or
of
my
lords
to
call
you
home
,
as
of
the
instance
of
a
third
person
who
much
laboured
it
.
This
I
interpreted
of
some
that
might
have
a
hope
to
succeed
you
in
it
,
but
when
I
understood
that
the
offer
had
been
made
unto
Mr
.
Fant
,
and
that
not
upon
his
own
seeking
but
out
of
penury
rather
or
want
of
another
,
I
resolved
that
I
made
not
a
right
construction
of
it
.
Whilst
I
was
in
these
doubts
,
and
casting
with
my
self
how
to
expound
this
riddle
,
I
chanced
to
meet
with
Sir
thomas
smith
in
westminster-hall
in
good
leasure
,
and
fell
into
some
speech
with
him
about
it
:
but
no
sooner
had
I
named
it
,
but
he
entered
presently
into
a
passionate
complaint
of
the
wrong
you
had
done
him
,
first
by
accepting
the
clerkship
of
the
council
when
he
had
opened
his
purpose
unto
you
of
selling
his
place
,
whereby
he
was
disappointed
of
that
intended
benefit
;
and
since
by
interposing
your
self
between
any
other
and
the
place
,
that
otherwise
might
be
drawn
into
it
,
upon
a
pretence
of
wrong
to
you
,
if
any
man
should
step
before
you
:
so
as
he
concluded
he
was
lockt
up
in
the
place
,
and
forced
to
be
a
drugge
in
it
,
only
to
preserve
it
for
you
,
who
in
the
mean
time
enjoyed
a
place
of
honor
and
profit
.
And
in
conclusion
he
told
me
,
he
had
been
a
suiter
,
and
so
meant
to
continue
,
that
either
you
might
come
home
and
take
part
of
the
pains
that
belong
to
the
place
,
or
else
that
he
might
be
suffered
to
make
away
his
place
and
see
notwithstanding
your
opposition
,
which
he
said
you
had
no
reason
in
truth
to
complain
of
,
because
it
was
but
an
exchange
,
and
you
were
never
a
whit
cast
back
by
it
.
By
this
discourse
I
found
who
it
was
that
labor'd
your
return
,
whereof
I
thought
sit
to
give
you
knowledge
,
but
with
this
hope
and
assurance
,
that
you
will
so
use
it
,
as
I
may
receive
no
blame
or
imputation
for
my
advertisement
.
For
the
matter
it
self
I
cannot
but
impart
unto
you
together
with
mine
own
,
the
opinion
of
all
that
love
you
,
namely
that
you
do
your
self
an
irreparable
wrong
,
if
you
quit
your
place
there
for
any
thing
you
can
expect
here
.
For
the
place
here
,
it
is
that
which
they
are
all
extreamly
weary
of
that
are
in
it
;
the
attendance
is
more
exacted
than
ever
,
and
the
profit
less
then
ever
.
For
other
rewards
,
the
state
was
never
poorer
nor
less
able
to
afford
them
:
and
for
merit
,
be
you
assured
it
will
wear
as
fast
as
a
tear
will
dry
,
neither
is
it
found
so
ready
a
way
to
honor
and
profit
,
as
some
other
which
I
know
you
have
some
skill
of
.
In
summe
,
perhaps
you
have
not
all
contentment
there
,
but
believe
it
you
will
have
none
here
;
therefore
if
any
misunderstanding
hath
begotten
this
purpose
either
in
you
,
or
of
you
,
I
wish
you
to
clear
it
.
And
if
it
be
the
labor
of
that
third
,
advice
what
you
will
have
done
to
stop
it
,
and
employ
your
friends
and
especially
my
self
,
in
any
purpose
wherein
I
may
be
of
use
.
The
ordinary
occurrences
I
forbear
to
write
because
you
have
them
from
every
body
.
The
result
of
our
parliament
labors
hitherto
,
may
be
reduced
to
an
agreement
of
some
more
severe
laws
against
priests
and
recusants
,
and
of
a
grant
of
two
subsidies
and
four
fifteens
;
which
tho
'
very
graciously
accepted
by
the
King
as
we
heard
this
day
by
our
speaker
,
yet
it
is
thought
will
be
attempted
to
be
drawn
higher
.
We
are
in
some
expectation
of
a
creation
of
four
barons
,
viz
.
The
Lord
cheif
justice
,
Mr
.
Attorney
,
who
is
designed
cheif
justice
of
the
common
pleas
in
gaudie's
room
,
Sir
john
fortescue
,
and
Sir
Thomas
knevett
,
whose
wife
hath
the
charge
of
the
Lady
mary
,
and
who
was
himself
a
fortunate
instrument
to
discover
the
powder
.
Our
grandees
in
court
continue
the
same
;
only
my
Lord
of
dunbar
is
gone
into
Scotland
,
and
hath
already
put
away
some
of
his
officers
,
and
intends
to
put
away
the
rest
,
as
it
is
thought
with
a
purpose
to
retire
wholly
,
an
hoc
satias
ceperit
cum
omnia
acceperint
,
an
illos
cum
omnia
tribuerint
?
And
thus
Sir
,
having
almost
spent
my
eyes
which
were
bad
before
I
will
end
somewhat
abruptly
,
and
with
all
happiness
unto
you
and
yours
your
very
assured
friend
to
my
best
power
,
HENRY
NEVILLE
.
Sir
Henry
Neville
to
Mr
.
Winwood
.
SIR
,
4th
June
1606
.
SINCE
your
receit
of
my
last
letter
I
have
been
at
my
house
in
the
country
,
and
sought
in
in
my
book
of
negotiations
,
for
any
thing
that
might
concern
that
project
made
by
eliot
:
I
only
find
it
mentioned
in
one
letter
of
mine
to
my
Lord
salisbury
,
and
answered
in
one
of
his
to
me
,
both
which
I
have
copyed
out
and
sent
you
herewith
.
The
plot
it
seems
was
the
spaniards
,
and
reserved
by
him
to
be
communicated
by
himself
;
so
as
I
was
not
made
privy
to
the
particularities
of
it
:
as
for
eliot
,
I
remember
he
was
not
conferred
with
about
any
matter
at
his
coming
over
,
but
only
concerning
john
killegrew
,
with
whom
it
was
supposed
he
had
held
some
correspondence
whiles
he
was
in
Spain
;
and
not
satisfying
in
that
he
was
much
threatned
,
but
in
the
end
(
by
reason
of
my
passport
)
dismissed
,
without
making
any
use
of
him
.
I
have
lately
had
some
conference
with
Sir
thomas
bodley
about
your
business
,
who
tells
me
,
that
at
his
last
being
with
my
Lord
of
salisbury
,
my
Lord
wished
the
motion
touching
the
increase
of
your
entertainment
to
be
forborn
a
while
,
so
as
we
have
both
agreed
not
to
press
him
again
till
the
next
term
be
ended
.
My
Lord
hath
gotten
much
love
and
honor
this
parliament
by
his
constant
dealing
in
matters
of
religion
;
some
fruit
of
it
was
seen
in
his
attendance
to
the
installation
,
being
such
as
I
dare
avow
never
subject
had
in
any
memory
.
I
hope
it
will
confirm
and
strengthen
him
in
his
good
proceedings
.
For
my
own
basyness
I
am
at
a
stand
,
if
I
go
not
backward
.
This
parliament
hath
done
me
no
good
,
where
not
only
speeches
and
actions
,
but
countenances
,
and
conversation
with
men
disliked
,
hath
been
observed
.
But
in
these
points
I
cannot
betray
my
own
mind
,
speed
as
it
will
.
Our
laws
against
recusants
have
been
very
sharp
,
insomuch
as
we
are
devising
already
how
we
may
quallify
them
in
the
execution
.
But
the
mischief
is
,
that
some
of
them
stand
upon
incapacities
,
which
are
immediately
instilled
by
the
law
it
self
and
cannot
be
dispensed
with
,
which
troubles
us
much
.
There
was
one
point
proposed
,
first
by
my
self
,
and
intended
to
the
good
of
your
side
,
and
so
it
past
the
lower
house
,
but
afterwards
the
lords
altered
it
,
so
as
I
doubt
rather
it
may
do
harm
;
it
was
thus
at
the
first
.
That
all
the
subjects
of
this
realm
which
should
go
over
to
serve
,
or
should
serve
any
foreign
Prince
in
his
wars
which
professed
the
romish
religion
,
not
having
before
their
going
out
of
England
taken
an
oath
newly
prescribed
;
and
if
they
were
gentlemen
and
officers
of
bands
,
not
having
entered
into
bonds
at
the
port
where
they
shipped
,
with
two
sureties
in
20
l
.
At
the
least
,
with
condition
not
to
be
reconciled
to
the
Pope
or
Church
of
Rome
,
nor
to
entertaine
or
conceal
any
traiterous
attempts
or
practice
against
the
King
or
this
state
,
should
be
fellons
.
This
being
particular
at
the
first
is
made
General
by
the
lords
alteration
,
and
extended
to
all
that
shall
serve
any
foreign
Prince
or
state
whatsoever
.
The
inconveniency
that
I
apprehend
will
follow
thereof
is
,
that
our
voluntarys
which
go
over
to
serve
your
side
,
will
not
be
so
forward
hereafter
,
when
they
shall
see
they
shall
adventure
the
peril
of
felony
,
if
they
either
do
not
this
which
is
required
of
them
,
or
be
not
able
to
prove
it
when
they
shall
be
called
in
question
.
And
altho
'
the
like
may
be
said
of
those
that
go
to
the
other
side
,
yet
the
case
is
not
equal
,
for
they
may
better
want
our
men
then
you
,
they
having
Spain
,
Italy
,
and
Germany
open
,
besides
a
large
territory
of
their
own
,
and
your
side
having
no
forreigners
of
which
they
may
be
confident
,
or
at
least
so
confident
,
as
our
nation
:
and
if
this
effect
follow
of
discouraging
our
voluntarys
,
(
which
I
fear
)
the
Archduke
hath
his
purpose
which
he
insisted
upon
in
the
treaty
and
we
absolutely
refused
,
namely
to
restrain
our
people
from
serving
on
either
side
.
Thus
is
my
good
intention
clean
perverted
,
and
I
have
told
my
Lord
of
salisbury
what
I
conceive
of
it
,
who
seems
to
answer
it
thus
;
that
they
which
go
to
the
states
will
readily
take
the
oath
and
put
in
bonds
,
but
the
other
will
not
;
and
so
thinks
that
we
shall
have
our
purpose
,
and
yet
give
no
cause
of
exception
to
those
princes
.
But
of
this
experience
must
be
the
best
judge
,
wherein
what
you
find
between
this
and
the
next
session
I
pray
you
let
me
know
,
that
if
you
find
any
mischief
in
it
to
your
side
we
may
help
it
then
,
which
will
be
no
heard
matter
;
at
the
least
to
repeal
the
whole
clause
,
and
leave
it
as
it
was
before
.
Upon
Sunday
last
there
were
diverse
merchants
and
merchant's
wives
at
the
court
,
and
made
greivous
complaint
unto
the
King
,
the
one
of
their
servants
,
and
the
other
of
their
husbands
,
imprisoned
and
put
to
the
gallies
in
Spain
,
and
of
much
injustice
and
oppression
done
there
to
our
nation
,
besides
some
particular
contumely
to
the
King
personally
;
the
like
complaint
was
made
before
to
the
lords
.
I
hear
it
hath
moved
much
,
and
this
I
will
assure
you
,
that
the
kingdom
generally
wish
this
peace
broken
,
but
jacobus
pacificus
I
believe
will
scarce
incline
to
that
side
.
We
are
in
daily
expectation
of
the
King
of
Denmark's
arrivall
and
the
Queen's
delivery
,
charges
that
we
have
little
need
of
.
I
suppose
you
hear
that
my
Lord
Ereskin
and
Sir
john
Ramsey
are
made
viscounts
,
and
the
latter
hath
a
1000
l
.
Land
given
him
to
support
the
title
;
so
the
King's
land
enclosed
to
all
other
,
is
only
open
to
them
;
yet
there
is
an
expectation
of
some
promotions
at
the
christening
of
the
Queen's
child
.
Other
news
this
court
affords
not
,
unless
I
should
write
you
of
the
admirable
pastime
lately
taken
up
of
hunting
or
daring
of
dotterells
and
other
of
that
nature
,
which
I
think
you
can
well
be
without
;
and
therefore
for
want
of
more
and
better
matter
,
I
will
conclude
with
my
affectionate
commendations
and
best
wish
unto
your
self
and
mrs
.
Winwood
,
and
so
take
my
leave
.
Your
very
assured
friend
to
dispose
of
,

NEVILLE
