Miscellaneous, 1568

A.D. 1568. 2217. — to Cecil.
The Prince of Orange is ready to come with his army into the Low Countries. The world marvels of his great credit and of the help he has out of Almaine. He is at Brissach with many other noblemen and with a great band of horsemen and footmen who lie seven leagues in compass. The Duke of Alva fortifies Maestricht and thereabouts to impeach his passing the Maas.
Add., with seal. P. 2/3.
2218. Instructions for the Masters of the two Zabras.
On their voyage from Spain towards Flanders they are to avoid the French coast and in nowise enter any port there, but if they cannot reach England rather to return to Spain. If they enter any port of England they are only to land but one or two and to have no familiar talk but to answer those who ask them of their lading that they carry posts to the Duke of Alva. In case of being stayed they are at once to resort to the court to the Spanish ambassador.
Endd. by Cecil. Span. P. 2/3.
