death of Capt. Smith there is a company in the Low Countries void.

plead for him. |
| Sept. 3. |
60. Rowghane to same. Wishes to see divers examinations.
To command Sir Geff. Fenton and the two lawyers to let him know
the certainty by law whether the accusations he has made against

Earl of Sussex, from the 9th of August to the 5th of September

62. Sir Fr. Knollys to Lord Burghley. His dull wit is able to
abide more study than some other quicker wits. His chief study
lately has been the preservation of Her Majesty against the tyranny
of the Pope and his Church of Rome. Is of opinion that the
superiority and authority of bishops is derived immediately and
independently from Her Majesty. Mr. Martyn, the sewer, and
Dr. Whytegyft, had incurred the penalty of præmunire by claiming
a divine right for bishops. Thinks it now fit that his said
opinion should forthwith come to trial, whether it be true or false. |

to have pen, ink, and paper. |

London. |
68. Sir Tho. Shirley to same. He has heard that Mr. Comptroller, Sir Jas. Crofts, is dead. Solicits his influence to obtain that
office for him, and his thankfulness shall be 500l. to Burghley.
Hopes no evil opinion of ambition will be cast upon him, as those
who do not offer themselves in this world are seldom advanced.
Only Sir Tho. Cecill knows of this application. Thanks Burghley
for a fat red deer. |
