Brussels. |
38. Edw. Woodshaw to Lord Burghley. Pray take this letter in
good part, and I will not trouble you hereafter, having promised to
tell all news to the ambassador here, who will tell you; but I will
do anything you command. I hope to obtain a company of light
horse, and will do the Queen good service. I wish you would write
to the States here to give it me, for I know that divers of Her
Majesty's enemies are coming here from France, Burgundy, Savoy,
Spain, &c. both Spaniards and Scots, especially the two Hamiltons,
Stuckley, Norton and his son, &c., all well known to me; and there
is the taking of letters that come from those parts to Lady Northumberland, Mr. Copley, Dr. Parker, Mr. Markenfeld, or others of
Louvaine, which would discover all their practices, and I would
hazard my life to do the Queen service. [2 pages.] |

Antwerp. |
39. Wm. Silvius to Sir Fras. Walsingham. Thanks for your
goodness to me, whom you have never seen; the more to be commended as being rare in a person of your dignity. I will not cease
to cultivate christian literature after the example of Erasmus. I
send you Newbridge on English affairs [William of Newbridge's
chronicle?], inscribed to the Queen, and have added six justifications
of our orders, but I beg leave to bring them out first in other
languages. [1 page, Latin.] |

London. |
40. Hen. Killigrew to Mr. Davison, ambassador in the Low
Countries. I have returned from Cornwall, where I was glad to
receive the accounts of your journey. I send you the effects of
the gatherings collected at my house in St. Paul's Churchyard, before
I went westward, and hope it will serve as an example for other
shires in England, if the magistrate say Amen. |
|
I have been sent for to Court on Scottish matters. Mr. Randolph
is to conform that crown to amity with us, and carry with him all
good means and resolutions from hence; good deeds were better
done late than not at all. |
|
I spoke to my Lord of Leicester of you and your wife; he is
minded to do God and his Prince notable service. I am a forespoken soldier of his, and shall think my life well spent. The good
Prince [of Orange] is much beholden to him. Do not forget to
write to my Lords of Warwick and Huntingdon. |
|
Remember me to the Prince and M. de Ste. Aldegonde. If matters
are as we learn here, soldiers will be welcome. I have a young boy
of 21 fit to make a soldier of; I will give him money to go over,
and an arquebus, pistolet, and gilt morion, if you can get him a good
captain and reasonable pay. It is Harry who used to wait on me in
London. |
|
The French stayed our ships at Brouage, and we have stayed
them at Plymouth. My voice is to handle them roughly. The
Lord above is working for the preservation
of his own. [4 pages, damaged.] |

York. |
41. Henry Earl of Huntingdon to Sec. Walsingham. I
thank you for Her Majesty's warrant to receive my Lord Archbishop
and others of this Council. Pray favour the bearer; he is godly
and honest, and will serve Her Majesty faithfully. As he needs
relief, I have willed him, while his friends are in place, to seek for it.
Thanks for your past favour to him; I must desire its continuance.
