November 1607

Nov. 3. 26. Certificate by Sir Henry Rowe, Lord Mayor, Sir Henry Montague, recorder of London, Hen. Croke, and Thos. Wrothe, that the allegations by Abraham Johnson and other defendants to an English bill filed against them in the Mayor's Court by Bridget Johnson, widow, that for want of means to examine foreign witnesses, a decree was made against them for the complainant, is untrue; as they might have adopted the usual course, in issuing a writ of subpœna out of Chancery, and thus have brought their witnesses from all parts of the country to be examined.

Nov. 13.
Whitehall.
27. The Council to [the Lord Treasurer]. By privy seal of the 11th inst. you are directed to pay the sum of 4,000l. to such person as any six of us appoint. These are therefore to authorise you to pay it to ——. [½ page, draft, damaged.]
Nov. ? 28. Francis Lord Norris to Dudley Carleton, at Sir Math. Carew's, Chancery Lane. I hope to find the description of Hungary in English, which I once had, so that you need not send it. Let me have Comines, and a green crystal glass, to do good offices between the small print and my eyes. Concerning the other matter, my anxiety is qualified, because I know my Lord of Salisbury can tell. I may say as our Saviour did of Jerusalem, so as if she appear other than were to be wished, it is but as herself would needs be. Tell me of Tyrone, and some such matters, as I live solitarily, and hear of nothing but my own private, which now is employed only to sell land. I want to accustom myself to ciphers, and if you would send me an alphabet, with the deciphers, I would do no hurt with them. My bookish humour still lasts, although I have no company to confer with in what I read. Bolton has been here of late, and will do me the honour to Christmas it. I suit treatment to my company, and return to my accustomed frugality, having lavished extremely since the late troubles. [1 page.]
