1. William Burrell and others, Commissioners for sale of decayed
ships, to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. Having
given notice in the Shipwrights Hall, and on the Exchange, of
a time to sell the decayed ships by candle at Rochester, divers
chapmen attended, and the writer bargained to sell the hulls of the
Bear, the Answer, the Crane, the George, drumbler, and the Primrose, for 497l., if their Lordships think fit. Request their confirmation
of the sale. |
June 17.
Aboard ship, standing for Dover Road. |
2. Capt. John Pennington to the same. Reports his arrival in the
Downs, where he met the three Lion's Whelps. The King's letter
and their letter to the town of Hamburgh not sent to him. The
Adventure is gone to Calais for the French King's Ambassador.
The Whelps ill fitted with sails, and the grating by the sides closed
up, which has spoiled their going. Insufficient store of powder.
The Third Lion's Whelp victualled for 60 men instead of 70. The
Adventure has been eight months out of dock, and is very foul and
unfit for a northern voyage. A barge is sent to him, but no oars,
which will force him to leave her behind. Has sent the Whelps to
clear the coast as high as Dungeness. |
June 17.

3. William Burrell and others, Commissioners for sale of decayed
ships, to Nicholas. Repeat the information in their letter to the

June 17.
London. |
5. John Ellzey to the same. Has attended in town three weeks
almost, wishing to be eased of 106l. 3s. 8d. received for his Majesty's
tenths. Finds, as Nicholas told him, that 500l. will be as easily paid
into the Exchequer as 100l. for fees. Has goods worth 350l. also in
his hand. Wishes to be authorized to sell, and at days, as in the
Duke's time. Has assigned Mr. Allcock 300l., which is as much as
is due to the Duchess. |
June 17.
Pentre-Pant. |
6. Bishop Hanmer, of St. Asaph, to Sir James Fullerton. It is
two years since he received the King's letters to bestow the next
benefice without cure on the bearer, Dr. Nicholas, but none has yet
fallen. Prolonged hopes trouble the Doctor's spirits, and therefore
he is desirous to come to London. Has some suit to his Majesty,
which the Bishop recommends to Sir James's charitable furtherance.
The good man is in want, and had need of some present refreshment. |
June 18.

| June 18. |
8. Officers of the Navy to the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty. Send survey of his Majesty's four gallies and the
Disdain pinnace, from which it appears that they are unfit for
service, and are held better to be sold for ready money to be
employed towards reparation of the wharfs at the old dock. Do
not approve the offer of William Blunden. Inclose, |
|
8. i. Certificate, by Masters Attendant and Master Shipwrights,
that the gallies are worth 14l. a piece, and the Disdain 3l.
William Blunden, for the four gallies and 20l., will
repair the old wharf and keep it in repair for seven
years. |
| June 18. |
9. Officers of the Navy to the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty. The Charles, pinnace, is the fittest to be employed for

10. The same to Attorney General Heath. To prepare a bill
for a commission to Sir Francis Cottington, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, James Maxwell, one of the Grooms of the Bedchamber,
and George Bingley, Deputy Auditor of Imprests, to sell certain
jewels that remained in the secret jewel house in the Tower, which
upon the King's own view he has thought unfit for his use and
service. The inventory of jewels to be sold by these commissioners
comprises many noticeable items. It commences with four collars
of gold, one that of the Order of St. Michael, containing 24 knots of
gold and 24 knots of double scallop shells, having at the end of it
St. Michael hanging at two little chains. Other items are, an old
defaced jewel in form of "a pyramides," with some few small
diamonds, all the great ones having been taken out for making
a jewel in fashion of a rose by the late Prince Henry, which was
given by the late King to the Lady Elizabeth; a girdle of rubies
and diamonds in the form of red and white roses; a jewel of gold
in fashion of a Jesus, of old work; a collett of an old jewel in
fashion of the letter M; a Lorayne, or double cross, of gold, set with
diamonds and rock rubies; with many others. |

11. The King to Attorney General Heath. By letters patent in
the first year of his reign, the King granted to William Earl of
Banbury, then Viscount Wallingford, and Edward Ramsey, the
lieutenancy of the forest of Aylesholt and Wolmer, co. Hants. On
a surrender by the Earl (Edward Ramsey being lately deceased),
the King is pleased to grant the same to Sir Francis Clerke and
Robert Tirwhit, for their lives. The Attorney General is to prepare
a grant accordingly. |
| June 19. |
12. Katherine Duchess of Buckingham to Sec. Dorchester. A
cause which concerns the bearer, the Duchess's servant, Bold, having
been stayed by the Council, she hopes the King, being better
informed, will be satisfied in the justness of his matter, and begs
the Secretary to help Bold, as an act of justice and a friendship to
the memory of the Duchess's dear lord, who esteemed Bold's service.
Subscribes herself his "loving unfortunate friend." |
June 19.
The Tower. |
13. Commissioners for Sale of Prize Goods and Ships to the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty. In their commission there is a
restriction against their selling any ship above the burden of 100
tons, which has been a great disadvantage; for such ships, under
pretence of service, have been disvalued and begged. Pray that they
may be authorized to sell any prize ship, and at this time especiall
the Red Lion, taken by the Earl of Lindsey. |
June 19.
Marybone Park. |
14. Sir Philip Cary to Sec. Dorchester. Begs him to present an
inclosed petition to the King, from whom Sir Philip rests assured of
receiving right and justice when he shall be truly informed. |
| June 19. |
15. Sir Paul Harris to Nicholas. Received his message about
delivering the munition that is in store towards furnishing the ships.
By his good husbandry he has so carried the business that he will
undertake to furnish them in four days if the Treasurer will assign
the money which the Ordnance Office will receive for their part of
the prize pepper towards payment of the estimate for the ships.
Stays sending his man to Portsmouth till he hears from him. |

Grant to Thomas Parker, son of Thomas Parker, one of the Clerks
of the Privy Seal, of the office of Clerk of the Ordnance in Carlisle,
for life, from the death of William Lacon, with the fee of 12d. per
diem. [Ibid., No. 2.] |
June 20.
Westminster. |
The King to James Heriot, Philip Jacobson, Thomas Simpson,
and William Tirrey, jewellers. Having authorized Sir Francis
Cottington, James Maxwell, and George Bingley to sell certain
jewels, the King has thought fit, for his more satisfaction and indemnity, to have them appraised; the persons addressed are therefore
to view the same, and return the value of every article. The
schedule enumerates all the jewels mentioned in the previous article,
No. 10. [Copy. See 1629, June 9, Vol. cxliv., No. 55.] |
| June 20. |
16. Capt. John Pennington to the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty. No notice from the Lord Ambassador. On the 19th,
stood to sea, and came up with a fleet of 30 sail of Hollanders,
bravely appointed and bound for the West Indies. As soon as he
had caused them to do their duties, which they would willingly have
omitted, he returned into Dover road, still expecting the Lord Ambassador. The Lion's Whelps have returned, and brought nothing
but fresh complaints of their wants; the Third wants bread and
beer; the Fourth a surgeon, for yesterday having a man sore hurt
he was forced to come in and bring him aboard Pennington's ship.
There is a world of other wants, which he supplies out of his own
purse. Has been a commander twenty years, and never saw ships
so slightly set out. Wants instructions as to waiting for the
Ambassadors. |
| June 20. |
17. Petition of Margaret, "woeful widow of Thomas Blackstone,"
to the same. Her husband, as master of his Majesty's best barge,
serving in the expedition to Rhé, valiantly took three armed
barks, with a French baron and divers other prisoners. The Duke
promised him a good reward out of the Baron's ransom, but he,
making his escape from the Provost Marshal, Blackstone got
nothing but an appointment of boatswain of the Third Lion's
Whelp, in which he is lately dead, leaving the petitioner with a
great charge of children, and much in debt. Prays that she may
be allowed to recommend a sufficient boatswain as her husband's
successor. Annexed, |
|
17. i. Sir Allen Apsley to the same. Relates at full the gallant
actions of the petitioner's husband, and urges compliance with her prayer, as a deed of charity to her,
and of encouragement to others. The Tower, 1629,
June 20. |
| June 20. |
18. Petition of George Robinson, Purser of the Triumph, to the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. Prays to be allowed to
turn over his place of purser in the Triumph to Jervis Morland.
Annexed, |
|
18. i. Certificate of Sir Allen Apsley, Denzil Fleming, and
Stephen Alcock, of the sufficiency of Jervis Morland. |
| June 20. |
19. Sir Paul Harris to Nicholas. Intended to send away his
man, but the Lord Treasurer cannot be spoken withal, and
Mr. Meautys has so drawn up the order that without the Lord
Treasurer's consent it cannot be done. Sir Francis Cottington was
at the Council Chamber if the Lords had met to have got it
altered. If the Lords of the Admiralty meet this afternoon he will
seek to the Earl of Dorset to get it altered, and then if the prize
pepper be consigned, he will go down and furnish the ships in four
days. |
| June 20. |
20. Account of the Deputy Vice-Admiral of Sussex of the
perquisites which have happened from Michaelmas, 1627, to this
day. |
| June 20. |
21. Katherine Duchess of Buckingham to her "good cousin,"
Endymion Porter. Begs him to inform his Majesty that a business
referred to concerned her steward, Bold, whom her dear Lord had
especial care of, and particularly that he should not suffer in this
matter, which the Duke himself procured him. Has no other refuge
but to his Majesty immediately. Desires that out of his especial
favour he would protect Bold from wrong. |
June 21.
Aylesford. |
22. Eliza Lady Sedley to Sec. Dorchester. Regrets that at her
last being in town her ill fortune denied her the happiness of his
visits. Left a suit to him to Lady Barrington's delivery, her
meaning in which was simply to recommend Mr. Wright to him
as one of his servants, leaving his particular employment to the
Secretary. |
June 22.

Warrant to the Exchequer to exonerate the representatives of

Warrant to pay to Archibald Rankin, appointed to attend Sir
Thomas Roe, Ambassador Extraordinary into Poland, 200l., as the
King's gift. [Ibid., No. 7.] |
June 22.
Westminster. |
23. The King to the Lord President and Council of the North
Is given to understand that the proceedings before the said Council
grow much more perplexed, and suitors are oftener disappointed of
the just fruits of their suits there than in the happy reigns of Queen
Elizabeth and King James, all which proceeds from the too frequent
granting of prohibitions out of the courts of common law in Westminster. The King therefore admonishes the President and Council
to be very careful not to transgress from their commission and
instructions, and to cause their decrees to be fully and speedily performed by such ways as are used in the Court of Chancery, notwithstanding any prohibition. The King will not have his courts of
justice thus to clash, but in these cases of jurisdiction will himself
hear and judge between them. |
June 22.
Lambeth. |
24. Report of Archbishop Abbot, of Canterbury, Bishops Buckeridge, of Ely, Murray, of Llandaff, Neile, of Winchester, and White,
of Norwich, and Dr. John Donne, Dean of St. Paul's, to the King.
Not having been able to prevail in accommodating the differences
between the Bishop of Salisbury and the Dean and Chapter, they
certify that on the whole hearing they find no reason to think otherwise than that Giles Tomkins was lawfully elected to the places now
in question, and that he ought to be admitted into possession of
the same. |
| June 22. |
25. Copy of the same. |
| June 22. |
26. Petition of Sir George Rivers, Richard Amherst, sergeant-atlaw, and Edward Lindsey, feoffees for payment of the debts of
Richard, late Earl of Dorset, to the King. Since June 1628, when
the King renewed to them his protection, they have paid of the
debts of the late Earl of Dorset 8,000l., and employ themselves with
all possible expedition to make sale of lands to satisfy the Earl's
remaining debts. Pray for a renewal of their protection, by which
they will be much the better enabled to pay the King his rent during
the minority of the Lady Isabella Sackville. [Underwritten is a
reference to the Attorney General to prepare a renewed protection.] |
June 22.
Sheire. |
27. John Dutton to Endymion Porter. The ill behaviour of the
vicar of the writer's parish had forced the writer to crave the aid
of the bishop of the diocese. The vicar appealed to the Archbishop who had declared the bishop's [?] course contrary to law and
reason. The bishop means to justify himself, and has written a
letter which Porter may direct to the Bishop of London or Winchester, in order to obtain the opinion of one of them, together with
Porter's own; in all which the writer solicits Porter's friendly
assistance. |
June 22.
Somerford. |
28. John Pigott to [William Chesterman, Secretary to Lord
President Conway]. Regrets his displeasure. Sends a payment on
account by Mr. Tuck, and begs his forbearance of the rest until the
spring. |
| June 22. |
29. Jane Blake to James Earl of Carlisle. Begs his assistance in
procuring her an opportunity of soliciting the King for payment of
a debt due to her husband, the withholding which makes them live
in daily fear of executions. The sum due is 1,111l. 15s. 6d., of which
796l. 15s. 9d. was due three years last March. Is sure that he will
say with her that it is a great pity that an honest subject should be
undone by doing his sovereign good and honest service. |
June 23.
Westminster. |
Warrant to pay to Lieutenant Colonel Coningsby 100l., for disbursements by him made in transporting 1,400 recruits to Denmark.
[Coll. Sign Man., Car. I., Vol. xi., No. 8.] |
| June 23. |
30. Deputy Lieutenants and Justices of Peace for co. Middlesex
to the Council. In August last, the Council gave order for conveyance of 900 Irish soldiers towards Portsmouth and Bristol. The
writers ordered John Willoughby, a constable of Stepney, to provide
horses for that service. He brought one horse for the hamlet of
Spitalfields, which being delivered to an officer to ride to Colnbrook,
he kept him and rode on to Reading, where he left him in an
obscure "ostrey," so that it was seven days before he could be
restored to the owner, John Quincey, a surgeon of London. Thereupon Quincey brought an action against Willoughby, and recovered
damages and costs to the value of 10l., Willoughby expending also
in his defence five marks. Finding this will be a precedent to others
to question constables and officers, they pray the Council to make
such order in the case as shall be thought meet. |
June 23.
Bedford House. |
31. Francis Earl of Bedford to Lord President Conway. The
bearer, Mr. Ackland, one of the Colonels of Devonshire, having
received a great affront, by a private soldier of his regiment, done
to a captain of his regiment, in a public and scornful manner, it is
hoped the Lords will send for the party offending. |
June 23.
The Tower. |
32. Sir Allen Apsley to Sec. Dorchester, termed by mistake
Viscount Carleton. Has received from the Fleet, Marshalsea, and
King's Bench the bodies of Sir Miles Hobart, Mr. Long, and Mr.
Strode. Desires to know whether they shall be close prisoners, as
Sir John Eliot and the others, or only safe prisoners. For matter
of intelligence they may do the same thing as if they had the
liberty of the Tower, and no man to speak to them without the
privity of the Lieutenant. Thereby his Majesty should have notice
of their adherents, and is it not a greater punishment to them to
pay for their diet, than to be close prisoners, during which it will
be a charge to his Majesty of 1,200l. a year. One Short was
committed by warrant of the Lords, and having been examined
by direction of Sec. Coke, who is privy to the treasons he is
charged withal, remained close prisoner. He sawed a bar of iron
asunder, and crept out of a hole where a cat could hardly have followed him. He pretended to be a Frenchman, but was truly an
Englishman. It is six months since he escaped, since which the
Lieutenant has had continual spies upon his wife, and once made
him leave his breeches behind. He has now attached his body, and
at the same time the prisoners were sent in this morning Short was
brought in pinioned. Apsley has been Lieutenant 13 years, in
which time there have been two escaped in this kind. One was
condemned and pardoned, the other hanged. He prays that next
sessions Short may, for example sake, be tried, and that to save
charge he be sent to Newgate. |
| June 23. |
33. Officers of the Navy to Edward Monox, Clerk of the Cheque
at Chatham. Warrant to enter John Attawell, cook of the Fortune,
pink, appointed to guard the Medway. |
| June 23. |
34. Presentment of the Churchwardens of Romsey of Thomas
Puckeridge, for saying that the Virgin Mary was an harlot; of
John Mowle, for saying that the Bishops of Canterbury and London
and two others of the Lord Bishops were no more able to argue in
the Scriptures than one old Coles, of Abridge, who goeth about a
begging; and of Mr. Audrie, their vicar, for preaching that it was
idolatry to bow the knee at the name of Jesus. [Attested copy.] |
| June 24. |
35. The King to the Lord Chief Justice and the rest of the
Judges of the King's Bench. The King having lately removed Sir
Miles Hobart, Walter Long, and William Strode from their several
prisons to the Tower, and understanding that constructions are made
thereof, as if he had done it to decline the course of justice, he
has thought fit to let the Judges know the true reason thereof, as
also why he commanded that those and the other prisoners should not
come before them. Having heard how most of them did carry
themselves insolently and unmannerly towards the King and their
Lordships, his Majesty could not but resent his honour, and that of
so great a court, so far as to let the world know how much he disliked the same; and having understood that they and the other
Judges had not yet resolved the main question, he did not think
the presence of those prisoners necessary, and until he found their
temper and discretions to be such as to deserve it, he was not willing
to afford them favour; nevertheless he had now given directions that
Selden and Valentine should attend them on the morrow, to whom
they may deliver the occasion of the suspension of their opinions in
the main point, and the reason why the prisoners were not sent
the last day. |
| June 24. |
36. Draft of the same, in the handwriting of Attorney General
Heath, considerably different from the letter as ultimately settled. |
| June 24. |
37. Copy of the same, with many alterations, in the handwriting
of Sec. Dorchester. |
| June 24. |
38. Another copy of the same, with further alterations, in Sec.
Dorchester's handwriting. |
| June 24. |
39. The same to Sir Allen Apsley, Lieutenant of the Tower.
For the reasons given in his letter to Viscount Dorchester, and for
some others, the seven prisoners are to have the liberty of the Tower,
being kept safely, but not as close prisoners. Having given a special
commandment that he should not carry any of the prisoners before
the King's Bench until the King's pleasure be further known, which
he did out of a just offence taken against them, for their insolent
miscarriage a while since in that court, it is now the King's pleasure
that on the morrow he send thither Selden and Valentine, but that
himself go not with them. As for Short he is to be delivered to a
Messenger of the Chamber, to be taken to Newgate. [Draft, in the
handwriting of Attorney General Heath.] |
| June 24. |
40. Attorney General Heath to Sec. Dorchester. Since the
Attorney General waited on the King he had been with the Lord
Chief Justice, and on conference finds it is not safe to adventure
the bringing of any of the prisoners to the King's Bench to-morrow
lest they should be delivered. Beseeches him to acquaint the King
therewith, and to intreat him to countermand that part of his letter
to the Lieutenant of the Tower. Sends his servant, who can deliver
the countermand. |
June 24.
Greenwich. |
41. The King to Sir Allen Apsley, Lieutenant of the Tower.
In his letters of that day's date the King had signified his will that
to-morrow Sir Allen should send before the Judges of the King's
Bench Selden and Valentine, and detain the rest of the prisoners
still in the Tower. Upon more mature deliberation the King
thought it good to treat them all alike, and that none be suffered to
appear in that court, until they have given the King cause to believe
they will show a better testimony of their duty towards the King
and modesty towards the court, than they did at their last appearance. [Draft, altered in the handwriting of Sec. Dorchester.] |
June 24.
Greenwich. |
42. The same to the Chief Justice and the rest of the Justices of
the King's Bench. The King in his letters of that day's date, gave
them to understand that Selden and Valentine should be brought tomorrow before them. Now, on more mature deliberation, the King
has resolved that all of them shall receive the same treatment, and
that none shall come before them until the King has cause given
him to believe they will make a better demonstration of their
modesty and civility than at their last appearance. |
June 24.
Greenwich. |
43. Petition of John Taylor, shipwright, to the King. Being a
young beginner in his calling, yet by warrant from the late Duke
and command of Capts. Pennington and Pett, and promise of Sir
Sackville Crow of present payment, petitioner strained his estate
and friends to trim 17 ships with extraordinary expedition for
the late employment to Rochelle, for which service there is due
to him 280l., of which he can get no payment, even to his undoing.
Prays special order for present payment, or allowance of the first
prize ship that shall be sold. [Referred to the Lords of the Admiralty to give speedy order for petitioner's satisfaction.] |
June 24.
Canterbury. |
44. Justices of Peace of the lathe of St. Augustine, co. Kent,
to the Council. By direction they certify that wheat is at present
sold in those parts at 32s. the quarter, barley at 20s., and oats at
14s. Pease and beans are sold at extraordinary rates. |
June 24.
Dover. |
45. Anthony Percival to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. Having been appointed collector of the King's tenths of
reprisal goods at Dover, certifies that there is brought in there by
a man-of-war of Dover a Brazil prize laden with sugar, tobacco,
and Brazil wood. The proprietor purposes to send these goods
to London, by which course his Majesty's tenths will be in danger.
Desires their speedy order what he shall do therein. |
| June 24. |
46. Nicholas to Capt. John Pennington. Hopes he has received
a packet from the Lords Commissioners to stay his going for the
Elbe till further order. Begs his favour on behalf of Mr. Morice,
son of Francis Morice, Clerk of the Ordnance, who is desirous, for
his experience, to go with Pennington in his present employment. |

47. The Council of War to Sir Richard Sutton and Sir Ralph
Freeman, Auditors of the Imprests, and Capt. Mason, Treasurer of
the Army. In calculating the pay of the officers and soldiers of the
army that went to Cadiz, no man is to be accompted with who shall
not produce a commission wherein the date of his entrance into pay
may be seen, or testimony under the hand of his colonel to satisfy
that point. Quartermasters and provost marshals are to be
accompted with, according to the King's lists for the voyage to
Rhé, or orders of the Board, or special warrants of the Duke of
Buckingham. The month's gratuity shall go on accompt of the
arrears anterior to November 13, 1628, the day of the army's

the captains or other officers. [Draft.] |
| June 25. |
48. Petition of 18 Officers under Colonel Morgan in the late
service of the King of Denmark to the Council of War. Petitioners left their service in the Low Countries by special command
to attend the employments of Denmark. Have waited here for ten
months in expectation of their pay, and have as yet only received
so small a part thereof they have been enforced to run into debt,
and endangered themselves to suffer perpetual imprisonment. Pray
payment of the remainder of their pay. Annexed, |
|
48. i. List of the petitioners, being seven lieutenants, nine
ensigns and two marshals. |
| June 25. |
49. Petition of Gregory Cromwell, gentleman, of the Company
of Colonel Sir John Swaynton, to the Council of War. Petitioner
served under the King of Denmark for a long time, having nothing
in consideration of his pay but the common allowance of bread out
of the storehouse during the siege of Stade. Prays that he may
receive what is due to him. |
June 25.
The Tower. |
50. Commissioners for Prize Goods to the Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty. Have made due search after the barks and goods
taken by the Fleet under the Earl of Denbigh, but do not find any
thing recoverable but one ship, the Red Lion, taken by Capt. Jewell
himself, being about 200 tons, and now remaining at Plymouth.
All the rest they find disposed of as appears in the inclosed
examination. Inclose, |
|
50. i. Brief of the examinations of Capts. Weddell, Cannon,
and Hughes, Joseph Dobbins, Mr. Rolph, and Mr. Cooke,
from which it appears that most of the ships and goods
above mentioned had been taken on his own account by
the Earl of Lindsey, or given away by him, the Earl of
Newport, or some other person. |
June 25.
Marybone Park. |
51. Sir Philip Cary to Sec. Dorchester. Understands his petition,
although it sought nothing but justice, and defence of right and
reputation, was not well relished, but rejected with some distaste.
But as on a second presentment it pleased his Majesty to vouchsafe
it a reference, he doubts not on examination to make his requests
appear just and equitable. |
June 25.
The Dreadnought. |
52. Capt. Richard Plumleigh to Nicholas. Has received his
gunner's stores, and is gone out of Portsmouth to ride at Spithead,
where he shall be ready to set sail on receipt of orders, which he
hourly prays for. Hears nothing from Sir Henry Mervyn. Holt
supplies victuals to all the ships from two days to two days, that
they may not go out till he be paid. For the same cause he keeps
back Plumleigh's butter and cheese, but it shall no way hinder his
going to sea as soon as he sees an order. It would be convenient to
the merchants and colliers if the sea were a little cleared, and if
he cannot get a Whelp with him prays he may get order for the
ketch. |
June 25.
Aboard the Red Lion. off Margate. |
53. Capt. John Pennington to Capt. John Mennes. Having
received a command to go on present service, Pennington instructs
Mennes to remain there for the transportation of Sir Thomas Roe.
He is to land him at the Brill, and to return, with all possible speed,
to the Downs, capturing any ship of the enemy, or ship laden with
prohibited goods, with which he may encounter in his way. |
| June 25. |
54. Edward Earl of Norwich to his noble dear son, James Earl of
Carlisle. The bearer is nephew to the writer's brother Allington.
He has concluded with a gentleman, servant in some place to his
Majesty, for his place, and only wants a noble friend's good word to
his Majesty for him. Refers the relation of the business to Mr.
Dalton, your servant, being of his name, and assistant to his suit.
Beseeches Lord Carlisle to give him his kind word. Calls upon him
to perform his challenge, apparently of visiting the writer. |
| June 25. |
55. Sentence of the High Commission Court of suspension against
Robert Townes, clerk, pronounced upon his own confession of certain
offences. |
| June 25. |
56. Sentence of deposition and degradation pronounced by the

and Thomas Combes. |

58. Order of Council. By letters of August 4, 1628, Sir John
Drake and Richard Alford, Mayor of Lyme, were required to cause
a ship of Luc de la Roche, a French Protestant, to be delivered to
him on giving caution to be answerable for the value thereof. The
letter not having been obeyed, the matter is recommended to the
Judge of the Admiralty, who is to take order for de la Roche's
relief. [Attested copy.] |
June 26.
Whitehall. |
59. Order of Council. By sentence in the High Court of Admiralty, the Hope, of Calais, was ordered to be restored to Nicholas
Brunt, and a commission was thereupon issued on May 12, 1626.
The same ship having been employed in his Majesty's service, and
being now come home, lies, as Brunt understands, in some port, in
danger of decay. The Judge of the Admiralty is to take course for
her present delivery. [Copy.] |
| June 26. |

Admiralty. Has served for two years as cook and steward in the

the Fortune, pink, put in her place, prays to be purser in her, or if
she have no purser solicits the same offices as he held in the George. |
June 27.
The Strand. |
63. Sir James Levingstone to Sec. Dorchester. Hears that some
regiments are to be employed for the Netherlands besides Sir Charles
Morgan's; begs him to move the King in his behalf. The Sec. knows
how great a prejudice it would be to Sir James's reputation if he
should not be one in so brave an employment. |
June 27.
Canterbury. |
64. Sir Henry Wotton to the same. Is informed by Mr. Griffith
how sensible Lord Dorchester has been of that rude affront which
was lately done to Sir Henry. Thanks him for his noble intentions,
as well in curing the cause as in plaistering the symptom. |
| June 27. |
65. Sir Thomas Aylesbury to Nicholas. Recommends Robert
Sayres for boatswain to the Fortune, pink. |
[June 27 ?]
Greenwich. |
66. Archibald Earl of Argyle to James Earl of Carlisle. His
affairs in Scotland require his presence, and he finds his Majesty
for the present has no service to command him. When will be the
fittest time to kiss his Majesty's hand and be honoured with his
commands. |
| June 27. |
67. Certificate of 28 Parishioners of St. Botolph without Aldgate,
London, setting forth the circumstances of Mr. Thomas Edwardes's
appointment as lecturer of that parish. They state that it was
made with the concurrence of their minister, Mr. Swadlyn, who
would not suffer Mr. Edwardes to preach there before he had a
promise of 30l. a year for his good will, to be paid so long as
Mr. Edwardes continued to preach. Mr. Swadlyn also said that the
Bishop had given him a lecture, and that he had authority to allow
of Mr. Edwardes. The parish relieves about three or four thousand
poor, and at Mr. Edwardes's lectures there has been 3l., 4l., and 5l.
collected for that purpose. |
| June 27. |

Majesty's interest in the manor and rectory of Bassaleg, and other
rectories in co. Monmouth demised to Queen Elizabeth, in the
24th year of her reign, by the then Bishop of Llandaff, for 100
years, and since demised by the late King to Benjamin Valentine
for the remainder of that term. [Coll. Sign Man., Car. I., Vol. xi.,
No. 15.] |
June 28.
Greenwich. |
70. The King to Attorney General Heath. To prepare a proclamation prohibiting the making of starch with wheat flour, and
other things fit for the food of man, in all things agreeing with a
proclamation for the same purpose issued by the late King, with an
alteration to give power to the Company of Starchmakers to put in
execution the power given to them for reformation of abuses. |
June 28.
Greenwich. |
71. Minute of an Order of the King, made on the report of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, and others, respecting certain disputes
between the Bishop of Salisbury and the Dean and Chapter. The
King requires that Giles Tomkins be admitted, by way of provision, unto the places now in question, but for the validity of the
election his Majesty leaves the same to a trial at law. |
| June 28. |
72. Order of the King in Council, made upon taking into consideration a petition exhibited to him by the nobility of England,
in the time of the late Parliament, touching such of the English
[nation as being advanced to] nobility in Scotland and Ireland,
and having no possessions in those kingdoms, notwithstanding, take
place before the respective degrees of nobility of this realm. After
consideration and debate with the Council, the King thought fit,
for the present, not to alter the said precedences, reserving the
determination thereof to a future time. In the meantime he
directed the Lord Keeper, that, in all commissions, none of the said
nobility of Scotland or Ireland should from thenceforth be inserted
without his special direction. His Majesty expects that in all public
and private meetings the parties respectively demean themselves
according to the forms of courtesy to foreign nobility. [Attested
copy.] |
| June 28. |
73. Copy of the same. |

Whitehall. |
75. The Council to the Officers of the Customs at Chichester. The
King having been moved, on behalf of his good friends and allies
the States of the United Provinces, for buying and transporting corn
for supply of their army encamped before Bois-le-Duc, the good
success of which enterprise does not a little import the welfare of
this State, and corn in Sussex being under the price limited by the
statute for transportation, they are to permit Lewis Jacobs to transport 250 last of wheat from their port in Dutch bottoms. [Copy.] |
| June 28. |
76. Sir John Heydon to Nicholas. Thinks an order from the
Lord Treasurer to direct warrants to Sir Thomas Stafford, Deputy
to the Master of the Ordnance, no other than a misprision procured
by practice, as about the end of March his Majesty disclaimed his
consent, and gave order that all warrants should be directed to
the Lieutenant and the rest of the officers, as hitherto. The same
direction the King expressed last night, when Heydon waited upon
him at Greenwich on another occasion. |
June 28.
Bushey Park. |
77. Sir John Hippisley to Nicholas. Hears that Mr. Percival
has written of the danger of coming about of Sir John's ship.
Hopes Nicholas well understands the danger, that it is but for his
own profit that he desires her stay there. For every pennyworth
the King adventures he adventures ten, therefore begs Nicholas to
procure him a warrant, because here is the market where advantage
may be made both for the King and himself. |
June 28.
London. |
78. Sir Henry Marten to Endymion Porter. Acknowledges his
good offices with his Majesty, for since then he finds his Majesty
more sensible of his case and condition. Wishes Porter to observe
any passages this day between his Majesty and the Lord Keeper
that may concern Sir Henry, for either his Majesty will inquire of
the Lord Keeper how his cause stands, or the Lord Keeper will be
so officious as to advertise his Majesty of the difficulties which
occur, though indeed they are most made by himself. Received his
letter yesterday. Prays him to know that any one whom he thinks
worthy of his serious recommendation will find that Porter has more
than ordinary power over him. |
June 29.
Westminster. |
Warrant for payment to Sir Robert Karr, Keeper of the Privy
Purse, for the King's private service, of all monies to arise within the

79. General Order of the Council of War, regulating the mode
of settling the accompts of soldiers employed in the several expeditions to Cadiz, Rhé, and Rochelle. It is in the terms of the letter
addressed by the same Council to Sir Richard Sutton and others
[Vol. cxlv., No. 47.], with some additional provisions applicable to the
Surveyor General of the Victuals, and the conformation of the
general mode of taking the accompts of the officers to his Majesty's
declaration. |
| June 29. |
80. Extract from the above order. |
June 29.
Cassington. |
81. Bishop Corbet, of Oxford, to Sec. Dorchester. Had he
importuned any other of like quality about the King, he would not
doubt to have been called troublesome, or unmannerly, or ignorant
of the Court; but Dorchester he hopes will rather say that he is
diligent and advised, and but careful of his estate. Begs to know
in what grace he stands with his Majesty, and whether the writer's
friends say true or not, that he has rather lost a deanery than got a
bishoprick. |
June 29.
Sewthay Lodge [South Hay Lodge ?]. |
82. Mary Countess of Westmoreland to the same. Begs him
to move two suits to the King when her friend, the Earl of
Arundel, is present. The first is, that 1,000l. remaining due from
the Crown to the Earl of Home, who married a daughter of the late
Earl of Westmoreland, for relinquishment of Codingham [Coldingham], in Scotland, to John Stewart, his Majesty would bestow upon
the Earl of Home the 16 chather of victuals paid out of the lands of
Coberspeth [Cockburnspath], until his Majesty be pleased to give him
satisfaction of the whole debt. The second is, that Thomas Hope,
King's Advocate in Scotland, may be allowed to plead for Lord
Home, against John Stewart, who had neglected to pay the
sum enjoined upon him by the late King for the possession of
Codingham. |
| June 29. |
83. Sir James Spence to the same. If Thomas Poppard and two
other men apprehended for highway robbery are condemned, prays
that they may be reprieved, and a Privy Seal granted for their
employment in the service of the King of Sweden. |
| [June 29 ?] |
84. Edward Earl of Dorset to [James Earl of Carlisle]. Letter
containing strong expressions of attachment, apparently written at
a time when some suspicion of unkindness towards the writer, on the
part of the Earl of Carlisle, had just been removed by a kind letter
from him. |
| [June 29 ?] |
85. Return, apparently, of actions against James Jefferies, marshal
to Sir Francis Willoughby, a prisoner in the Compter. |
June 30.
Greenwich. |
Proclamation concerning the making of starch and "avoiding the
annoyances thereby." None but members of the Company of Starchmakers were to make starch to sell, nor was any one to make it of
wheat flour, meal, or any other thing than pollard and bran. No
one was to sell any other starch than that made by the Company, nor
was any one to sell starch, "as a huckster or hawker, from door to
door, in private or secret." [Coll. Procs., Car. I., No. 111.] |
June 30.
Westminster. |
Warrant to pay to Julian Calandrini 275l., to be paid to Capt.

Greenwich. |
86. The King to the Council of Scotland. Having heard of the
lamentable estate of the poor exiled ministers of the Palatinate
extending to the number of 600 persons, with their wives and
children, the King has given order for a general collection
throughout England towards their succour, and he recommends
to the persons addressed to give order to every Archbishop and
Bishop throughout Scotland, that a coarse may be taken there for
collecting what can be had from the charitably disposed towards
the same purpose. |
| June 30. |
87. Officers of the Navy to the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty. Certify that John Attawell, late Cook and Steward
of the George, drumbler, is fit to discharge such place in the pink,
the Fortune. |

Durham House. |
88. Lord Keeper Coventry to Sir John Bridgman, Chief Justice
of Chester. Is informed that Sir John Ratcliffe, who lost his life
in France in his Majesty's service, died seized of lands in co. Chester,
whereof Lady Ratcliffe is dowable. Being enforced to a suit for her
dower against gentlemen of great allowance in that county, herself
being a mere stranger there, the Lord Keeper recommends her for
expedition in her cause. |
June 30.
Hackwood. |
89. John Marquis of Winchester to Sec. Dorchester. After long
search has found the Ten Precepts of the Wise Treasurer unto his
Son. By the preface he will find them to be the fruits of Lord
Burghley's sage observations and last commandments to his son
Robert Cecil, so that the Marquis confesses his error in fathering
them upon Lord Treasurer Paulett. Howsoever, since Lord
Burghley, accounted an oracle of wisdom in his time, was the
true father of such counsels to a son who made so good use thereof,
he begs leave to present them to the Secretary. |
| June 30. |
90. Copy record of the Trial before the Court of the Virge of the
King's Household of John Payton, for the death of Timoleon
Gorge. He was acquitted of murder, but found guilty of manslaughter. |

Sir William Withypoll, Francis Withypoll, Henry Withypoll, Edward Withypoll, Francis Prudhomme, Jeffrey Gilbert, William
Smith, and John Smith, accused of the murder of Robert Wright
and Francis Maddison, of Woodbridge, co. Suffolk. Sir William
Withypoll, in whose company all the rest of the said persons then
were, had been tried and acquitted of murder, but was found
guilty of manslaughter. |
| June. |
92. Capt. Thomas Jackson to Lord President Conway. His
Lordship has laid upon him, being a blunt and illiterate soldier, a
very great task to deliver his opinion concerning the union in religion, wherein many wise and learned men have been puzzled and
gravelled. Two principal errors committed by divines; 1. Fiery
wits and over curious inquisitors raise divisions by determining their
private conceits by natural reason, leaving no place for God's good
will, and making frustrate the doctrine of Christ. 2. They take no
pains to instruct their flocks against the opinion laboured by the
Jesuits that there is no salvation out of the Church of Rome. |
| [June ?] |
93. Thomas Rice to William Weld, secretary to Viscount Conway.
Reports the state of Lord Conway's horses, and suggests a variety of
things needful to be attended to in relation to them. |
| [June?] |
94. Petition of Henry Goddard, one of his Majesty's Shipwrights,
to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. He is behind of
his entertainment of 20d. per diem, by the space of five years,
amounting to 152l. 1s. 8d. Unless they help him to obtain the same,
he will be much disenabled in performance of his Majesty's service. |
| June. |
95. Philip Burlamachi to Sec. Dorchester. Met the Ambassador
of the States, and talked over with him very fully the affair in
dispute or treaty. Finds him inclined to expedition, but the States
wish to have an engagement for the pay of the regiment of volunteers. Discredit it will be to his Majesty to refuse the States to
support these troops in this their great necessity. [French.] |
| June. |
96. The same to the same. Has spoken to the Ambassador. He
desires that his Majesty's answer be of a kind to increase the good
feeling on the other side. Told him that he should assist on his
part in the redemption of the jewels; and for the rest, the writer
deemed the business settled [French.] |
| June. |
97. Edward Earl of Norwich to James Earl of Carlisle. Thanks
for the perusal of a letter from Viscount Doncaster. Longs to have
precise word of his face. Is much affected with his manliness, and
all the good hopes which may well be entertained of him. |

numbers of his Majesty's Forces in co. Rutland. |

110 bags, taken in the St. Peter. |
| June. |
100. Articles against Mr. Mellow, master of the Prudence, of
London, testified by Dawtry Cooper, captain of the Seventh Whelp,
and others. Mellow was charged with resisting a party sent on

101. Notes in explanation of the comparatively small amount
received in the Court of Wards during the last half year. |
