Extract

very Rd Syr. my last was owt of Sussex wherin I informed you of such occurrentes as then hapned in these partes, but especially of the recovery of mr lea who had been most daingerously sick of a hott fever which had lik to have taken hime away from us. now I have receaved a coople from you together, thon of the 10 of Aprill, thother of the 6 of Iune. I see still how laborious you are in our affayers & soe doe we all, which maketh us perpetually bownd unto you, & how soever our sutes doe consort & fall owt, yeat for my own parte can not I see but that you tak all the means that may be to doe us good, which if they doe not tak place as you desyre we doe altogether impute it to the litle care is had by the highest of our pressures, & soe most goe on with contentd patience till it shall please our sweete lord to mak better provision for us. you cowld say no more too paul then you did, & although you cowld not hinder, but that he would give us a vice protector, yeat I doe not dowbt but your speches hath moved hime soe much that he hath taken order wzth melino, that he will prove farr more indifferent to our cause, then ever we found Bianchetto, therfor in any [‘cause’ deleted] case seeme to be confident with hime: & it may be our great sute beinge the first matter that he hath to deale for us, he wilbe the more forward to helpe us to bringe it to passe, that therby he may wynne us hearafter to have the mor liking unto hime.
