--"My very good Lord, there are no news to be sent from these parts unto your Lordship ; those we have, come from your Lordship ; notwithstanding I would not let slip any messenger so convenient as this is without writing these letters of heartiest commendations unto your Lordship. I pray your Lordship to present my humble devotion unto the King, unto whom there is no service that I can do (as his ambassador can certify him) wanting, and so I bid your good Lordship very heartily farewell." Signed.

 

Postscript, in the Admiral's own hand.--"My good Lord, because we dow heer that the King of Spayne douthe prepare for this nyxte sommer I assur you we ar not idell to prepar his welcome, and I dow hop, with the goodnes of God, so to intret him as all the world shall speke of it and himselfe so tast of it, as it shall brynge his ambitious mynde with his body to his grave. God send your good King ther as happy sucses agaynst his Frenche Spanyardse and most unloyall subjects as I do wyshe our selfes in our own case. My good Lord I pray you let me very hartely commend [me] unto all my good frends in your company and Mr. Garet you must not forget althow he hathe forgoten me, for I never herd from him synce his departur."
