January 1630

Jan. 5. 1. Appraisement of divers goods and merchandise found in the prizes, [made out] for Sir Allen Apsley, Sir John Wolstenholme, and others. [1 p.]
Jan. 22. 2. Thomas Coo to the Council. This is the last paper wherewith he shall ever present to your Honours his desires. His book dedicated to His Majesty this last Progress at Theobalds said by some to be a libel, yet never read nor understood. The author was then a subject, now an exile. Nevertheless your suppliant, out of his inbred love and loyalty to His Majesty and the State, doth offer his life for pledge, as formerly to King James by his bloody letter whereby he discovered the [gun]powder plot, then as now being oppressed in prison. That this little book, this libel so termed, doth unmask as ominous an event to England as that doleful design was; and so leaves it to your Lordship's considerable [care] not by way of prediction but by prevention, and within and under the limitation of three months next ensuing from this 22nd January 1629[-30]; till when he submits his body to close imprisonment in the Tower, so to be continued and his sentence of death to be sent along with him. So God's will be done. [1 p.]
3. Note of Objections urged by the silk manufacturers against the proceedings of the patentees, and the Answers of the latter touching the false dyeing of silk. [Much faded. 2 pp.]
Jan. 30. Grant to Thomas Jermyn of the office of Governor of the Isle of Jersey, in reversion after Sir John Peyton, Sir Thomas Jermyn, and Viscount Wimbledon (see 24th December 1628), upon surrender of a former grant made to Sir William Harvey. [Docquet.]
[Jan.] 4. Chevalier de Bois Gaudry to Secretary Coke. The designs of Sir Robert [Wolseley] and his machinations against England. Gives his opinion as to the best mode of proceeding, and urges Coke to take examinations as to the truth of his statements. Lord Conway interested in this business. [French. 3 pp.]
