vnto all the Gonnefownders in Sussex to repaire vp to this Cyttie by the vijth of
October there to vnderstande his pleasure Concerninge theire further Contynuance
in that trade / whervpon the moste of them appearing, and I amonge the rest &
meetinge at his deputie mr Hockenells howse, yt was told vs by mr Hocknell & mr
Blynco, That vpon complaint made by my ??? of the Councell of the abuse of
transportacõn of ordinance into forraine countries, their honors had referred vnto
my lord of Warwicke, to take order for redresse of yt, wherevpon hee had thought
good to call vs togeather, & had autorised them twoe? to deale wth us, & take
sufficient securitye against the like abuses for the tyme to come, Nowe because yt
was thought convenient that some quantitie of ordinance should yerelie be made for
the necessarye provicõn of or owne navigacõn, they had as they said vpon good
advise set downe a generall rate yerely wch should serve the whole realme, and out
of that they were content to allotte vnto euerye of vs a certaine quantytie. But at our
hande they required that not should enter into such bondes as they should thinke

anye but in thys Cyttie, nor to any marchaunt but such as my lorde or his deputie
should name vs, wth certayne other condicõns of taking a stampe for all our peeces,
out of the office, & some other smale pointes. All wch I for my part was well content
to yelde vnto, except that wch dyd restraine vs to a merchaunt of their appointmt in
place whereof I offered to be bounde to geue my lorde or his deputie present notice
to what merchaunt I had sould my ordinance, that they might require at his hande
sufficient securitie against transportacõn; But this being reiected, I made them this
other offer; That I would retayle my peeces in open market vpon tower hill my selfe,
& enter into any bondes that they would require at the marchantes handes, that they
should name wch should be as they said, not to sell anye peece to any that was not a
naturall borne subiect or a denisen. This offer they liked very well of, & my lordes
deputie said, that seeinge the daunger of transportinge, should be so well prevented
by yt, they could require noe more. So that a daie was appointed for me & others
to ???? bondes to that effect & to receve our warrantes notwthstandinge the daie after,
I knowe not vpon what occacõn mr Blyncoe sent me woorde that my offer woulde
not be accepted. Wherevpon I desisted a longe tyme, till at length all our
gonnefounders havinge proceeded ? the yere passing awaye, I ventured also to caste
some suche quantitie as they in our conference had allotted me. For wch I perceve
my lo: of Warwicke hath nowe sent for me by a purseavaunt I beseeche yor good ho:
therefore to consyder of my case, & Iudge of my offers / For my part yf [it]? be
thought good for the state, that noe ordinance be made, I desire to make none./But
yf there be any allowed, I desyre that I maye make some [of] yt as well as other,
offering (as I hope I do) sufficient security to prevent the abuse of transportacõn: for
this restrayning us to a marchaunt of their choice I for my parte doe greatlie feare
that yt tendes rather to some pryvat benefyt then to the publike good. And I have
some cause to be suspicious of such a matter when I had made suyte to my lorde for

that then was his deputie, mr Pistor planelie tould me, that I should have noe licence
vnlesse I would geve (my lorde as he said) fortye shillinges vpon euerye Tonne wch I
