Wee

had
a
shrewde

the
Pensions
leuied
vpon
Turney
,
but
wee
must
for
the
time
haue
patience
,
and
looke
for

I
lodged
here

Lorde
of
S.
Vastz
,
making
him
the
best
cheere
I
coulde
,
he
is
going
towardes
Portingall
,
whether
I
haue
written
(
as
I
am
bounde
)
in
his
behalfe
,
as
also
in
the
behalfe
of
Secretarie
Vasseur
,
his
father
the
Lord
of
Valhuon
,
and
the
little
enfant
:
At
the
least
I
omitte
nothing
for
my
part
that
I
am
able
to
doe
.
My
niece
the
La.
of
Ashey
writeth
vnto
me
,
that
Vateuille
hath
exhibited
a
petition
to
those
of
the
Chamber
of
accompts
of
Dole
,
and
sent
another
to
the
Exchequer
in
the
lowe
Countreys
,
pretending
a
title
to
Verseiles
,
as
the
recompence
of
the
late
Lorde
of
Peleux
the
father
(
being
one
of
the
Emperors
chamber
)
for
al
his
seruice
together
with
the
losse
of
his
goods
in
France
for
the
Imperial
maiesties
sake
,
as
also
for
hauing
his
two
sonnes
slayne
,
together
with
the
death
of
my
saide
Nieces
seconde
father
,
who
perished
in
the
battaile
of
Graueling
,
besides
suche
consideration
as
is
to
be
had
of
the
seruice
of
the
late
L.
of
Ashey
my
nephew
,
together
with
his
expences
in
his
masters
affayres
This
request
hathe
shee
sent
vnto
you
with
the
perticulers
thereto
adioyned
:
heretofore
you
preuented
my
L.
the
prince
,
sticke
now
therefore
to
it
,
that
at
this
time
Verseil
may
be
hers
,
notwithstanding
,
presently
you
can
not
obtayne
the
rest
of
that
whereto
her
demaund
pretendeth
.
Desiring
you
to
help
her
in
what
you
well
may
.
I
haue
heretofore
giuen
you
to
vnderstande
,
that
the
king
hath
giuen
Don
Francis
the
entry
of
Aspargosse
de
Lara
whiche
nowe
is
worth
3500.
crownes
,
and
will
hereafter
be
better
.
He
hath
had
woorde
therof
sent
into
Burgondy
,
but
I
know
not
whether
they
found
him
there
.
For
some
doe
write
that
hee
had
altered
his
mind
for
comming
hither
,
and
that
he
was
determined
to
goe
to
Fraunkfort
to
buy
Horses
,
and
so
to
serue
in
the
warres
in
those
partes
,
but
I
wotte
not
whether
this
may
cause
him
to
take
some
other
aduice
.
I
had
here
this
Easter
his
brother
and
his
people
with
me
:
I
like
him
well
,
and
hee
profiteth
in
studie
,
I
haue
conceiued
a
good
hope
of
him
,
and
he
liketh
his
master
,
and
his
master
him
.
A
Burgognion
gentleman
,
named
Monsieur
of
Thon
goeth
that
way
,
and
shall
take
acquaintance
of
you
:
his
purpose
as
I
heare
is
to
take
charge
of
my
sayde
nephew
in
stead
of
the
L.
of
Vauldrey
.
If
you
please
I
pray
you
write
vnto
mee
your
opinion
,
whether
you
thinke
it
conuenient
.
The
King
is
gone
to
meete
with
his
sister
the
Empresse
at
Almerin
,
and
from
thence
are
to
goe
to
Lisbon
,
wee
shall
see
what
will
come
of
this
enteruiewe
.
Thus
heartily
commending
mee
to
your
good
grace
,
I
beseech
the
creator
to
graunt
you
the
accomplishment
of
your
desires
.
From
Madrill

25.
of
April

Your
good
brother
and
assured
friend
,
Ant.
Cardinall
of
Granuelle
.
The
superscription
was
.
To
my
L.
the
prouost
Morillon
,
great
Archdeacon
of
Malines
,
my
fellow
brother
and
friende
.
SIr
counsellor
,
His
Maiestie
liketh
verye
well
of
the
resolution
of
the
reconciled
estates
,
and
in
mine
opinion
they
haue
laide
a
good
foundation
of
change
,
in
saying
that
their
earnest
request
to
bee
rid
of
straungers
was
onely
vpon
suche
hope
as
the
others
ministred
of
framing
them selues
to
obedience
,
if
they
were
gone
,
seeing
that
the
resolution
taken
,
and
the
sworn
treaty
,
was
the
onely
ground
of
discharging
them
,
as
also
that
the
others
had
shewed
great
hope
of
accommodating
them selues
to
them
,
and
returning
to
obedience
after
the
said
straungers
departure
,
which
neuerthelesse
they
haue
not
done
,
but
do
stil
persist
in
their
obstinacie
.
The
Prince
of
Orenges
death
will
alter
many
of
their
minds
:
And
the
duke
of
Alenson
hauing
none
of
his
own
people
about
him
,
may
perhappes
repence
that
he
euer
came
so
far
.
The
right
way
were
,
if
the
inhabitants
of
Antwerpe
for
making
their
owne
peace
(
considering
that
my
Lorde
the
Prince
doeth
yet
offer
them
all
fauour
,
if
they
would
but
return
and
acknowledge
them selues
)
woulde
deteyne
him
prisoner
,
and
deliuer
him
into
his
Maiesties
handes
,
to
the
ende
hee
might
reward
him
as
he
deserueth
.
I
solicite
so
much
as
possibly
I
may
the
speedy
sending
of
men
&
money
,
whiche
I
hope
will
bee
done
:
the
men
do
already
march
,
and
dealing
for
money
goeth
forwarde
:
I
hope
God
will
assist
vs
notwithstanding
,
whatsoeuer
hindrances
they
procure
vs
.
He
is
aboue
all
,
and
the
redier
he
will
be
to
helpe
vs
,
if
we
helpe
our
selues
,
as
surely
for
the
finall
wading
thorowe
so
many
miseries
,
we
must
.
Concerning
your
perticular
parson
,
Secretarie
Lalloo
may
very
well
testifie
,
that
I
haue
done
so
much
as
you
can
require
.
Also
by
Spanishe
letters
which
I
haue
written
to
his
Maiestie
with
my
owne
hande
.
God
graunt
you
may
as
I
desire
reape
some
fruite
.
And
this
I
assure
you
:
My
Lorde
the
Prince
hath
as
earnestly
commended
you
as
is
possible
.
Thus
hartily
commending
me
to
your
good
remembraunce
,
I
beseech
the
creator
(
sir
Counsaylor
)
to
graunt
you
your
desires
.
From
Madrill
this
15.
of
Aprill
.
1582.
Your
good
Gossip
and
friende
Ant.
Cardinall
of
Granuelle
.
The
superscription
was
.
To
my
L.
of
Assonuille
counsellour
,
and
one
of
his
Maiesties
priuie
counsell
in
the
Lowe
countreys
.
MAdam
,
S.
Aldegonde
.
His
death
wil
bread
great
alterations
as
is
most
like
,
&
we
loke
for
news
of
what
haue
since
happened
,
and
what
course
matters
haue
taken
.
We
heare
that
the
duke
of
Anieow
hath
sent
the
P.
Daulphin
to
the
king
of
France
for
succour
,
we
shall
see
what
will
come
of
it
.
I
wot
not
what
breach
of
war
we
look
for
,
●th
the
D.
of
Anicow
doth
al
by
the
knowledge
,
consent
and
assistance
of
his
said
brother
,
as
also
he
helpeth
the
Queen
his
mother
,
who
openly
ioyneth
with
Don
Antonie
to
make
warre
against
vs
.
It
is
euident
they
woulde
doe
more
if
they
could
.
But
we
can
haue
no
helpe
of
our
power
,
neyther
knowe
it
,
or
consider
in
what
state
those
Bee
that
doe
on
all
sides
disquiet
vs
,
yea
so
farre
as
by
procuring
the
discente
of
the
Turkes
armie
,
who
I
suppose
verily
woulde
come
,
in
cace
the
Persian
warre
,
which
yet
continueth
,
did
not
let
him
,
as
hauing
lately
on
that
side
had
an
ouerthrow
of
his
people
,
wherevpon
,
according
to
the
last
newes
,
Constantinople
was
much
troubled
,
and
the
sayde
Turke
hath
sent
into
his
frontiers
newe
reliefe
of
two
Sangiaques
,
with
4000.
Ianissaries
,
and
3000
Spachies
,
notwithstanding
they
giue
out
that
they
doe
attende
an
embassadour
out
of
Persia
,
who
shoulde
bring
the
conditions
of
peace
,
whiche
I
hope
is
but
a
voice
to
deceiue
them
,
and
that
he
hath
to
doe
with
a
people
that
doe
fight
in
running
away
.
My
Lord
of
S.
Vastz
went
this
way
,
and
by
poste
continueth
his
iourney
towarde
the
king
,
who
is
nowe
at
Almerin
whether
he
went
to
meete
the
Empresse
,
and
my
Lorde
the
Archduke
Cardinall
is
gone
to
receiue
her
vpon
the
confines
of
the
kingdome
.
The
saide
Abbot
of
S.
Vastz
seemeth
a
wary
man
,
and
suche
a
one
as
can
yeelde
good
accompte
of
the
state
of
the
Lowe
Countreys
.
I
entertayned
him
very
well
,
and
haue
commended
him
in
the
court
,
to
the
ende
they
may
so
vse
him
,
that
hee
may
returne
well
satisfied
.
I
am
well
assured
that
for
his
part
he
wil
sollicite
the
sending
of
souldiers
and
money
for
the
pay
:
whereabout
I
haue
laboured
these
two
monethes
,
calling
vpon
it
so
much
as
I
might
.
And
alreadie
we
haue
worde
from
Sicill
and
Naples
,
that
the
power
that
should
come
thence
,
will
marche
very
shortly
,
so
to
ioyne
with
Don
Ferdinand
of
Tolete
,
who
is
yet
in
the
Neapolitayn
gallies
at
Calibry
,
while
Don
Ihon
of
Cardoa
,
attendeth
conuenient
tyme
to
passe
the
gulfe
:
and
in
troth
,
he
is
very
slacke
.
So
as
the
Countie
Oliuares
,
who
is
in
the
same
gallies
,
is
not
yet
gotten
to
Rome
,
to
the
great
preiudice
of
the
affayres
:
notwithstanding
his
Holinesse
hath
already
graunted
the
subsidy
,
which
he
hath
staied
these
three
yeeres
full
vnder
colour
of
the
abstinence
of
warre
,
which
Iohn
of
Marliano
had
concluded
with
the
Turke
.
I
doe
within
these
two
dayes
looke
for
the
Prince
Iohn
Andrew
Dorye
,
who
returneth
toward
Italy
with
his
Galleyes
,
and
the
Duke
of
Ossuna
goeth
with
him
,
who
,
as
your
highnesse
maye
haue
heard
,
goeth
as
Viceroy
to
Naples
.
His
Maiestie
and
all
his
blood
thanked
be
God
,
are
in
good
health
,
and
we
waite
what
resolution
they
wil
take
after
their
Maiesties
haue
beene
together
,
who
are
to
returne
from
Almarin
to
Lisbon
,
where
(
if
I
be
not
deceiued
)
the
Kinge
hath
yet
enough
to
do
:
for
concerning
iustice
,
gouernment
,
treasurie
,
and
suche
like
concerning
surety
,
I
see
nothing
yet
done
to
my
lyking
:
besides
that
,
I
wote
not
how
his
Maiestie
can
without
daunger
leaue
the
Realme
of
Portingale
.
Our
Nauy
is
prouiding
,
but
slowly
according
to
custome
,
so
as
if
want
of
monie
had
not
hindred
Don
Anthony
&
the
Q.
Mother
of
France
,
they
had
by
this
preuented
vs
.
The
feare
of
the
Turkes
army
hath
caused
the
leuie
of
6000.
Almaines
in
Tirol
,
who
are
to
take
shipping
at
Spetie
:
but
if
the
Turks
armie
commeth
not
,
yet
shall
we
not
want
place
where
to
vse
them
,
if
I
may
be
beleeued
.
It
is
doubted
whether
the
enterprise
of
Tercera
shal
be
executed
this
yeere
,
or
whether
they
take
any
other
order
.
God
put
into
his
Maiesties
hart
,
that
that
may
be
for
the
best
.
It
is
still
said
,
that
the
Imperiall
diet
shal
be
holden
at
Auspburg
,
but
I
cannot
thinke
it
,
it
began
vpon
Sunday
last
,
notwithstanding
the
purport
of
the
letters
of
conuocation
.
I
suppose
my
L.
the
prince
hath
sent
out
of
the
lowe
Countreys
some
one
to
supplie
the
place
for
the
circuite
of
Burgondie
:
at
the
least
,
I
gaue
knowledge
of
it
at
the
Court
a
good
while
since
,
to
the
ende
therevpon
to
write
to
him
what
was
beste
,
together
with
my
opinion
.
Your
highnesse
may
haue
heard
howe
it
hath
pleased
his
Maiestie
to
nominate
to
the
Bishoppricke
of
Turney
Morillon
,
Prouost
of
Ayre
.
Also
that
I
haue
graunted
to
discharge
my selfe
of
the
Archbishopricke
of
Malines
,
as
that
I
can
not
be
there
resident
,
nominating
thereto
M.
Iohn
of
Auchin
,
deane
of
S.
Gaule
my
officiall
,
who
vnder
the
saide
prouost
of
Morillon
hath
gouerned
the
sayd
Archbishopricke
many
yeeres
.
The
fauour
which
it
pleased
your
highnes
to
extend
toward
the
said
Morillon
in
testifiyng
so
wel
of
him
to
his
Maiestie
,
for
the
which
I
most
humbly
and
hartily
thanke
you
,
together
with
the
commendation
of
my
sayde
Lorde
Prince
haue
bin
a
good
helpe
to
him
herein
,
and
certaynely
I
hope
that
of
the
choyse
which
his
Maiestie
haue
made
of
these
two
persons
,
hee
shall
be
well
serued
,
and
that
when
your
highnesse
shall
knowe
the
saide
deane
,
your selfe
will
bee
of
the
same
opinion
.
It
is
aboue
fifteene
yeeres
since
I
first
sued
to
his
Maiestie
to
discharge
mee
of
the
said
Church
of
Mallines
,
which
as
your
highnesse
knoweth
I
accepted
full
euill
against
my
will
.
For
I
sufficiently
did
foresee
what
woulde
ensue
,
as
that
by
my
absence
his
Maiestie
coulde
not
reape
the
fruites
whereto
he
pretended
by
vniting
the
Abbaies
vnto
the
Byshoprickes
,
whiche
he
did
,
to
the
end
,
the
Bishops
might
haue
some
ouersight
in
dealing
with
the
states
of
Brabant
,
for
withstanding
the
prince
of
Orenge
,
and
other
of
his
faction
,
that
troubled
the
affayres
:
and
the
better
to
trayne
the
Abbots
,
who
beeing
abused
by
the
saide
Prince
of
Orenge
,
haue
giuen
him
opportunitie
to
hurt
both
them selues
and
the
rest
.
As
for
Iohn
of
Sermillan
,
in
whose
behalfe
your
highnesse
haue
written
,
concerning
the
Abey
of
Dane
in
your
letter
,
dated
the
17.
of
Februarie
,
I
haue
alreadie
written
to
Prouost
Foncq
,
who
hath
returned
me
an
answere
that
it
is
alreadie
bestowed
,
I
wote
not
on
whom
,
without
making
his
Maiestie
priuie
thereto
,
whiche
he
imputeth
to
the
Counsaylor
of
Assonuille
,
so
that
if
it
be
bestowed
,
ther

to

to

yea

that
with

I
wot

for
I
am

that
Alenson
doeth

what

I
beseech
your

for
a●●yding
the
spoyle
of
the
Countrey
of
Burgondy
,
to
cause
the
Infanterie
and
Horsemen
that
are
leuied
in
these
Countreys
,
to
march
with
all
speede
that
may
be
towards
Flanders
,
otherwise
they
wil
spoyle
all
.
Besides
,
if
the
French
shoulde
come
,
they
will
serue
as
souldiers
vse
to
doe
in
their
owne
houses
,
and
therefore
I
am
still
of
that
minde
,
that
for
the
safetie
of
that
countrey
,
2000.
Switzers
were
very
requisite
,
who
beeing
reteyned
,
vntill
the
power
that
is
to
passe
ou●
of
Italy
be
come
,
might
then
be
friendly
dismissed
with
full
payment
,
to
the
ende
,
still
to
haue
them
readye
as
neede
might
require
.
And
therefore
considering
the
harme
that
those
of
the
countrey
do
commit
,
this
way
woulde
be
the
cheaper
.
The
Prince
Iohn
Andrew
Dory
is
not
yet
arriued
here
,
but
I
looke
for
him
within
three
or
foure
dayes
at
the
farthest
.
The
Duke
of
Ossuna
,
is
yet
a●
Pegnafiel
:
It
is
enough
that
we
may
say
that
hee
is
onwarde
of
his
way
:
fo●
certaynely
hee
will
make
hasts
:
for
i●
hee
tarrie
long
,
I
am
perswaded
tha●
the
Prince
Dorie
will
not
stay
for
him
,
whereby
hee
maye
remayne
in
Barcelone
longer
then
willinglye
hee
woulde
.
His
Maiestie
is
at
Almerine
,
where
the
moste
Noble
Empresse
is
to
arriue
the
firste
day
of
May
,
or
peraduenture
sooner
.
Wee
shall
see
what
greate
matters
will
ensue
after
this
enteruiewe
of
the
brother
and
sister
.
Farther
,
if
I
bee
not
deceyued
,
there
is
yet
enough
to
doe
in
Portingalle
before
his
Maiestie
can
departe
,
in
cace
he
will
leaue
all
things
in
safetie
:
for
that
in
trothe
,
there
is
muche
lesse
done
then
I
coulde
well
wishe
,
as
well
concerning
Iustice
,
and
P●llicie
,
as
any
other
taking
of
order
in
the
affayres
.
His
holynes
hath
graunted
the
subsidie
towarde
the
mainteynaunce
of
the
Gallies
.
Also
there
is
newes
freshely
come
from
Constantinople
,
importing
that
the
Turke
hath
lately
receyued
some
newe
soyle
aboute
the
borders
of
Persia
,
wherevpon
Constantinople
was
in
some
care
or
heauinesse
.
They
hasten
the
feast
of
the
circumcision
of
the
sonne
,
to
the
ende
,
to
gather
some
coin
which
wanted
.
And
the
Turke
hath
sent
a
supply
of
4000.
Ianissares
,
and
3000.
Spachles
:
besides
that
he
hath
made
two
of
his
Sangiaques
to
marche
with
their
power
.
For
that
many
feared
least
the
speeche
raysed
,
that
the
Persian
sought
for
peace
or
truce
,
is
but
dissimulacion
.
So
as
wee
hope
,
that
notwithstanding
the
French
soliclting
,
the
Turkish
armie
yet
it
wil
not
come
otherwise
that
it
well
be
very
small
:
but
thereof
we
haue
as
yet
no
certaintie
.
Your
excellencie
may
haue
heard
of
the
peace
concluded
betweene
the
Polaque
and
the
Muscouite
for
10.
yeeres
.
Also
from
Armue
,
we
haue
by
land
heard
good
newes
,
that
the
Portingales
haue
there
ouerthrowen
many
people
of
those
quarters
which
purposed
to
haue
hurt
them
,
and
that
they
remayned
in
his
Maiesties
obedience
.
The
Abbot
of
S.
Vastz
hath
been
heere
:
I
haue
procured
him
good
entertainement
:
hee
proceedeth
on
his
iourney
in
post
,
and
seemeth
to
bee
a
meete
and
seruiceable
person
.
I
haue
prouided
him
of
what
so
euer
I
haue
thought
might
turne
to
his
good
entertaynement
and
cherishing
,
&
haue
not
omitted
to
breake
my
mind
to
him
concerning
my
opinion
in
matters
,
to
the
ende
he
might
the
better
deale
.
I
thinke
certainely
,
that
besides
the
letters
which
your
excellencie
haue
receyued
of
Don
Guillen
of
Saint
Clement
,
you
haue
also
had
letters
out

touching
the
affaires
of
the
Imperiall
diet
,
wherein
I
referre

I
dare

the

is
not

what
soeuer

you

He
shal
procéede
on

shall

MY
Lorde
,
We
can
come
to
no
ende
with
the
widowe
,
who
is
a
foolish
woman
,
and
hath
euill
counseile
,
I
hope
neuerthelesse
that
time
and
friendes
may
mollifie
her
,
and
teach
her
to
knowe
her
wrong
.
In
the
meane
time
my
Lord
of
Secry
waxeth
so
liuely
and
practise
in
the
language
and
knowledge
of
spanish
affaires
,
that
his
emprisonment
will
not
onely
bee
not
vnprofitable
to
him
,
but
also
most
profitable
.
As
likewise
to
the
aforesaid
L.
of
Vendegies
,
who
hath
dayly
dealings
with
proctors
and
atturneys
,
learning
the
phrase
&
maner
to
proceede
.
Of
this
mishappe
wil
redounde
this
benefite
,
that
they
shall
haue
learned
the
speeche
and
customes
of
the
kingdome
.
It
is
supposed
,
that
his
Maiesties
soiourning
at
Lisbone
is
very
fit
for
the
reducing
of
the
Hollenders
&
Zealanders
,
who
haue
learned
&
vnderstood
what
the
K.
our
M.
is
.
Also
that
herewithal
the
P.
of
Orenges
death
,
with
is
thought
certayne
,
may
breede
great
alteration
:
God
graunt
we
may
wel
vse
this
opportunitie
.
I
suppose
that
will
be
when
the
French
is
better
known
:
also
that
vntil
then
we
shal
haue
enough
to
do
and
more
then
euer
.
For
a
good
&
firme
peace
,
a
strong
war
is
necessarie
.
The
vniforme
resolution
of
the
Wallon
prouinces
was
hard
very
acceptablie
,
god
graunt
it
may
be
well
vsed
,
otherwise
I
am
in
the
same
feare
with
your
Lordship
.
Wherevpon
I
dare
say
his
Maiestie
will
vse
both
wisedome
and
discretion
.
Your
L.
doeth
greatly
binde
mee
in
shewing
so
great
fauour
towarde
me
,
my
kinsmen
and
friendes
.
I
hope
God
will
giue
me
grace
to
deserue
it
toward
your
Lordshippe
and
yours
,
according
to
my
small
habilitie
,
in
whatsoeuer
I
may
vnderstande
requisite
to
your
honor
,
welth
,
and
seruice
.
A
suppose
that
some
of
my
yeeres
pentions
,
in
title
of
a
Lorde
of
the
priuie
counsell
,
are
yet
behinde
.
I
am
to
craue
your
Lordships
fauour
in
the
payment
thereof
,
towarde
the
reliefe
of
my
mother
,
and
other
our
wantes
which
are
great
,
by
reason
of
the
great
losses
whiche
in
our
goods
wee
haue
susteyned
during
these
warres
.
If
your
Lordeship
woulde
do
mee
this
fauour
,
to
wishe
mee
some
meanes
how
to
be
recompensed
,
I
thinke
his
Maiestie
woulde
haue
some
regarde
of
my
seruices
and
losses
.
The
Admiralles
sonne
of
Castile
,
was
lately
by
Alcaldes
and
Aguacilles
ledde
prisoner
to
the
Castle
of
Alameda
,
as
guiltie
of
the
death
of
a
gentleman
,
named
Guttieres
,
who
was
slayne
by
three
or
foure
vnknowne
Rebocados
,
of
whome
there
haue
been
some
Gentlemen
and
others
founde
in
Arragon
,
and
brought
hither
,
who
being
here
racked
,
the
said
Admiral
and
other
great
persons
haue
founde
them selues
grieued
,
alleadging
that
it
is
against
their
priuiledges
,
and
as
I
vnderstande
,
there
haue
bin
a
plaintiue
request
exhibited
to
his
Maiestie
:
wherevpon
is
great
discoursing
.
I
am
glad
to
heare
of
the
recouerie
of
Lens
out
of
the
Frenches
handes
:
for
if
his
leasure
had
serued
,
that
he
might
haue
fortified
it
,
it
might
haue
done
muche
mischiefe
all
ouer
the
flatte
Countreye
,
and
bred
great
harme
before
it
had
been
recouered
.
Thus
my
L.
most
humbly
commending
me
to
your
L.
good
grace
,
I
beseech
the
Creator
to
grant
you
the
accomplishment
of
your
most
noble
and
vertuous
desires
.
From
Madrill
this
19.
of

Of

To

the

Letters
of
Peter
Aldobrandine
.
My
most
noble
Lady
,
Don
Iohn
Idiaqz
,
and
thanked
him
for
such
paynes
,
as
I
knowe
hee
had
taken
,
to
the
ende
,
your
highnesse
might
at
his
Maiesties
hande
,
obtayne
such
satisfaction
,
as
the
zeale
wherewith
you
haue
,
and
still
doe
serue
him
doth
deserue
,
and
besought
him
to
persist
,
especially
to
procure
the
reuoking
of
your
highnesse
,
out
of
this
exile
with
his
fauour
and
good
liking
.
Wherevpon
I
digressed
in
opening
sundrye
purposes
concerning
your
highnesse
entent
.
Hereunto
he
made
me
answere
,
that
his
Maiestie
was
sufficiently
perswaded
,
how
greatly
he
was
bounde
vnto
you
.
Also
that
he
neuer
douted
of
your
readinesse
to
fulfill
willingly
whatsoeuer
his
Maiesties
pleasure
,
who
also
will
not
omitte
all
due
considerations
of
your
highnesse
seruice
and
qualitie
.
Farther
,
that
it
is
necessarie
you
should
attend
the
successe
of
this
springe
,
that
afterward
he
may
the
better
resolue
himselfe
:
he
promised
me
also
that
he
would
not
omit
any
conuenient
time
or
place
,
so
earnestly
to
deale
with
his
Maiestie
,
as
your
highnes
may
trust
vnto
him
.
For
my
part
I
will
slacke
no
time
or
opportunitie
,
to
the
ende
,
to
keepe
the
said
L.
well
disposed
&
affected
:
who
besids
his
great
good
will
to
your
highnes
,
is
also
in
great
credite
&
authoritie
with
his
Maiestie
,
&
is
glad
to
see
me
,
&
doeth
by
all
meanes
fauour
me
:
neither
would
he
suffer
mee
as
yet
to
moue
his
Maiestie
,
as
I
haue
been
about
to
doe
:
but
willed
mee
to
conforme
my selfe
to
that
your
highnesse
writ
vnto
him
,
for
that
he
saith
his
Maiestie
coulde
not
yet
peruse
your
letters
,
so
that
it
were
good
he
should
first
see
them
,
&
then
when
time
serued
to
speake
,
he
would
giue
me
warning
.
So
as
I
wil
wholy
fulfil
what
so
euer
the
said
L.
shall
commaunde
mee
,
who
also
hath
promised
to
procure
often
letters
to
your
highnes
.
To
be
briefe
,
to
graunt
you
such
amends
as
your
deuotion
to
his
Maiesties
seruice
doth
deserue
.
I
haue
assisted
Nicelly
in
whatsoeuer
I
thought
conuenient
for
the
seruice
of
the
house
:
and
if
he
had
not
bin
here
,
he
might
haue
bin
in
the
bryers
,
and
therefore
may
certifie
you
in
what
credit
euen
your
highnes
shadow
is
here
.
But
perticularly
concerning
the
Castle
,
I
haue
not
spoken
one
worde
,
but
am
ready
to
perfourme
whatsoeuer
you
shal
appoint
&
command
me
.
The
knight
Blondo
writeth
to
me
that
concerning
the
kings
reuenew
,
he
endeuoreth
not
yet
to
vse
any
farther
diligence
vntil
the
L.
Duke
,
nameth
the
persons
that
shall
bye
the
landes
,
&
then
all
necessary
conueiances
shal
be
dispatched
,
when
we
also
must
take
heed
the
you
be
assured
concerning
the
title
to
Nouara
.
Because
that
at
Madrill
,
there
haue
bin
perticular
dealing
touching
the
enhauncing
and
augmentation
of
your
highnes
priuiledges
,
&
that
there
it
is
to
be
dispatched
:
Samaniego
hath
perticular
care
of
the
busines
,
&
I
haue
here
procured
a
consultation
to
be
sent
to
Madrill
,
which
is
in
the
handes
of
his
Maiestie
,
Bourbon
,
&
La
Posta
,
and
as
Matthewe
Vasques
promiseth
me
shal
be
sent
to
morrow
:
and
withall
,
this
busines
may
be
finished
&
ended
,
which
is
not
of
such
importaunce
as
to
put
it
in
accompt
of
rewarde
,
howebeit
,
I
will
bee
still
so
aduised
,
that
if
I
heare
anything
,
I
may
knowe
howe
to
answere
.
Earle
Claudes
sonnes
haue
presented
a
remembraunce
to
the
counsayle
of
Italy
,
demaunding
the
same
that
their
father
required
,
touching
the
goods
confiscate
by
the
death
of
Captayne
Camillus
,
and
I
suppose
they
shall
haue
the
same
answere
their
father
had
,
namely
,
to
goe
to
the
Duke
.
And
as
occasion
fall
out
,
I
will
not
omitte
anie
endeuours
.
Cardinall
Farncsius
corriuales
doe
all
they
may
:
and
I
thinke
his
Maiestie
,
Granuel
,
and
Don
Iohn
Idiaqz
sufficiently
aunswered
,
who
toulde
me
that
they
goe
about
to
remedie
it
.
Farther
,
yesterday
the
saide
Don
Iohn
willed
mee
to
bee
of
good
cheere
:
for
his
Maiestie
had
his
noble
Lordshippe
in
such
reputation
,
as
the
seruice
which
this
hole
familie
had
,
and
still
doeth
vnto
his
Maiestie
did
deserue
,
but
all
valiant
parsons
haue
Corriuales
.
So
long
as
I
remayne
heere
,
I
will
neuer
desist
as
well
in
this
,
as
in
all
other
matters
,
but
conforme
my self
wholly
to
your
highnesse
will
,
neyther
will
I
omit
any
diligence
or
endeuour
,
to
the
ende
you
may
haue
such
satisfaction
,
as
by
reason
you
are
to
hope
for
of
the
goodnesse
of
this
great
king
,
who
God
be
praysed
is
in
better
health
then
euer
he
was
:
and
in
his
determinations
,
vseth
such
secrecy
and
aduice
,
as
no
man
can
well
enter
to
knowe
any
thing
,
before
it
please
him
to
publishe
it
.
The
common
opinion
is
,
that
in
anye
wise
hee
will
in
September
returne
to
Madrill
,
as
being
both
in
Castile
and
Arragon
greatly
desired
.
And
yesterday
the
saide
Lorde
Don
Iohn
toulde
mee
,
that
the
most
noble
Empresse
did
verye
well
like
the
Monasterie
des
Dechauses
at
Madrill
,
and
that
her
Maiestie
doth
yet
minde
to
come
thither
,
howebeit
,
that
such
is
the
loue
and
respecte
shee
beareth
to
her
saide
brother
,
that
it
is
thought
that
at
his
being
heere
,
shee
will
fulfill
his
Maiesties
will
,
who
wisheth
to
leaue
her
the
gouernment
of
the
kingdome
,
together
with
the
same
.
I
will
aduertise
your
highnesse
of
what
so
euer
shall
dayly
happen
.
The
French
doe
threaten
to
enter
this
kingdome
with
Don
Anthony
,
who
truly
is
here
as
it
were
adored
of
the
base
communaltie
,
&
it
is
sayd
that
in
Brittaine
,
there
is
a
great
army
ready
.
Also
in
as
much
as
they
cannot
beate
any
places
but
what
lyeth
between
Duore
&
Mignio
,
his
Maiestie
sendeth
towarde
the
Citie
of
Porto
the
Prior
Don
Hernando
with
10000.
footmen
and
800.
horse
,
with
whom
he
shall
keepe
that
Countrie
.
In
this
Citie
there
is
a
sufficient
garrison
.
Also
at
Settubar
a
regiment
of
Almains
;
and
the
rest
of
the
fortresses
hereabout
are
sufficiently
prouided
.
His
Maiesties
shoulders
are
charged
with
greate
expenses
.
Also
it
may
be
the
shadow
is
bigger
than
the
daunger
,
which
is
encreased
by
him
that
endeuoured
to
hinder
the
sending
of
any
power
of
importance
into
those
parts
,
as
being
but
a
small
friend
to
our
Princes
glory
,
and
an
vtter
enemy
to
the
prouiding
of
the
remedy
for
the
affaires
of
those
parts
which
haue
by
him
beene
lost
and
subuerted
:
so
as
without
farther
speeche
your
highnes
doe
well
vnderstande
mee
.
Howebeit
as
Don
Iohn
toulde
mee
,
although
his
Maiestie
be
to
prouide
for
diuers
Countries
:
yet
is
he
resolued
to
take
order
for
greate
prouision
of
coyne
for
the
affaires
of
those
Countries
,
neyther
will
hee
that
the
sayde
assignation
be
imployed
any
other
where
.
I
am
not
sure
of
the
iust
summe
,
but
I
vnderstande
it
will
bee
at
the
least
2.
millions
of
gold
yeerely
.
The
most
part
of
the
saide
coine
the
Fouquers
shall
prouide
monethly
at
Collen
.
In
Italy
there
is
order
taken
for
4.
or
5000.
Italians
,
a
fewe
horsemen
,
and
2.
Regiments
of
Spaniardes
,
who
all
shall
marche
thitherwardes
.
And
in
as
much
as
I
perceiued
all
this
prouision
to
proceede
but
slowely
,
and
especiall
that
of
coyne
,
(
that
is
the
principall
)
by
the
counsayle
of
Don
Iohn
,
I
determined
to
exhibite
a
briefe
to
his
Maiestie
,
the
tenor
of
the
copie
whereof
is
here
inclosed
,
the
which
together
with
other
diligence
vsed
coulde
not
but
bring
forth
good
effectes
.
I
haue
sent
a
copie
thereof
to
Cardinall
Granuelle
,
who
liketh
it
very
well
,
and
sendeth
mee
woorde
that
for
his
part
hee
hath
and
still
doeth
all
that
hee
may
,
in
what
so
euer
is
needefull
to
be
broght
to
passe
:
&
I
haue
put
him
in
mind
that
if
that
which
was
begunne
to
be
propounded
,
be
put
in
execution
,
all
will
goe
well
forwarde
,
and
that
there
is
no
other
sure
way
to
reuoke
your
highnesse
out
of
this
exile
.
I
will
procure
earnest
warre
in
those
partes
:
for
in
so
doing
,
wee
shall
soone
see
those
peoples
minde
:
likewise
to
what
purpose
your
highnesse
staye
in
those
countreys
,
may
serue
.
I
haue
and
will
vse
for
County
Mansselt
vpon
all
occasions
as
well
with
his
M.
as
with
his
seruauntes
,
all
meanes
possible
:
and
the
Lorde
Don
Iohn
sheweth
mee
that
his
Maiestie
doth
often
write
that
he
shal
be
continewed
.
Also
to
seeke
some
meanes
to
content
and
satisfie
the
saide
Lorde
,
as
well
because
he
deserueth
it
,
as
also
for
easing
your
highnesse
minde
:
which
is
all
that
at
this
time
I
can
say
,
most
humbly
kissing
your
highnesse
moste
noble
handes
.
And
I
pray
God
graunt
you
all
supreme
felicitie
.
From

Letters
of
Peter
Isunca
.
Most
noble
sir
.
BEseeching
God
this
present
may
come
to
your
Lo.
and
finde
you
in
such
health
as
I
beseech
&
wish
you
.
By
the
last
ordinarie
I
writ
to
your
Lordeshippe
of
my
occurrences
.
In
these
I
will
rehearse
the
substaunce
thereof
,
so
farre
as
I
can
remember
(
for
I
keepe
no
copies
of
my
writings
)
as
also
what
else
shall
come
in
my
minde
.
For
not
being
as
then
assured
of
the
princes
death
,
I
nowe
speake
otherwise
,
then
then
I
did
,
and
although
at
that
time
I
was
earnest
with
you
to
come
speedily
hither
,
so
to
get
you
from
among
those
beastes
feete
.
Also
that
thervpon
I
writ
you
a
perticular
,
which
in
case
of
necessity
you
shoulde
shewe
to
the
prince
,
yet
nowe
I
say
,
that
by
a
letter
which
my
father
writt
me
the
23.
of
this
moneth
,
his
minde
is
,
that
your
Lordeship
come
not
presently
,
vntill
that
the
heate
of
Orenges
death
bee
cooled
,
for
that
hee
doubteth
least
they
haue
layd
your
way
,
and
so
you
should
haue
greater
labour
&
payne
to
passe
them
,
then
to
remayne
vnder
the
princes
protection
.
Also
in
respecte
of
so
small
assuraunce
,
I
thinke
it
meet
(
for
preuenting
what
may
happen
)
that
you
sende
me
a
proxie
to
recouer
of
his
Maiestie
that
which
he
hath
promised
you
for
this
seruice
,
with
a
seuerall
note
vnder
your
hande
,
in
what
maner
you
will
that
this
quantitie
bee
employed
and
diuided
:
prescribing
therein
howe
muche
you
alowe
mee
for
my
paynes
.
For
although
my
father
assured
mee
of
more
then
the
thirde
part
,
and
that
I
was
then
content
therewith
:
yet
nowe
I
say
,
in
consideration
of
suche
great
depts
as
the
Marchaunts
doe
publishe
,
that
your
Lordship
oweth
,
I
will
bee
content
with
the
fourth
part
:
but
if
you
be
otherwise
minded
,
you
know
that
my
father
is
a
partie
,
which
notwithstanding
I
will
procure
him
to
be
content
with
what
I
thinke
good
,
&
therfore
I
beseech
you
set
it
so
down
in
your
perticular
note
&
instruction
,
to
the
ende
wee
may
conclude
vppon
that
whiche
concerneth
this
matter
.
For
that
is
the
way
to
deale
for
satisfiyng
my
father
,
besides
that
,
so
your selfe
may
be
pleased
,
and
he
wil
not
faile
in
whatsoeuer
occurrence
may
happen
about
his
Maiestie
.
In
the
meane
time
,
I
pray
God
preserue
you
in
such
health
as
I
do
desire
.
I
likewise
put
your
Lordship
in
minde
in
the
said
instruction
,
to
make
perticular
mention
,
that
you
would
haue
before
the
high
alter
in
the
Church
of
the
town
or
village
,
of
whence
he
was
,
a
tombe
built
of
stone
,
in
suche
forme
&
maner
,
as
you
or
I
shold
appoint
for
the
slaier
of
him
.
It
were
also
good
in
my
opinion
,
to
build
a
perpetuall
chantry
of
2.
chapleyns
.
Also
to
buy
for
the
yong
mans
father
&
mother
,
or
his
nerest
kinsman
3.
or
400.
duckets
of
rent
for
them
ioyntly
to
enioy
:
&
that
they
and
their
successors
might
bee
Lordes
of
the
sayde
chantrie
and
tombe
,
&c.
Now
I
say
the
Chamber
hath
procured
to
learne
of
my
Father
who
the
yong
man
was
,
and
of
whence
,
therefore
if
they
shoulde
also
require
to
see
the
demonstration
,
that
your
Lordeship
maketh
of
your
affayres
,
it
were
meete
you
declared
at
large
,
and
discretely
whatsoeuer
concerneth
the
same
.
I
said
also
that
(
if
you
coulde
)
you
shoulde
procure
the
perfecte
picture
of
the
saide
young
man
to
be
sent
hither
,
which
your
Lordeship
may
easely
doe
considering
the
good
nature
wherewith
it
hath
pleased
God
to
endue
you
:
and
so
you
shoulde
satisfie
manie
that
are
desirous
to
knowe
him
.
My
cousin
Peter
gaue
mee
warning
that
your
Lordships
creditors
determined
to
molest
my
Lady
your
mother
,
purposing
to
take
away
her
goods
for
your
debt
.
Also
that
he
had
written
vnto
her
,
to
sende
some
docket
whereby
to
auoide
this
trouble
,
and
so
incontinently
I
gaue
my
father
notice
,
wishing
him
with
all
speede
to
get
forth
two
scedules
,
which
for
this
purpose
,
as
also
for
preferring
you
before
all
the
creditors
of
Peter
Martinez
of
Arbalu
,
he
had
craued
of
his
Maiestie
in
your
name
:
and
that
wee
will
procure
to
bee
done
,
notwithstanding
the
king
seeketh
to
delay
for
a
fewe
dayes
the
ouerplus
of
suche
gratification
as
he
oweth
you
.
Whereupon
,
as
also
concerning
other
articles
,
presently
vppon
tydinges
of
Orenges
death
I
wrote
a
letter
,
the
copie
whereof
I
sente
to
your
Lordshippe
,
and
doe
hope
that
you
haue
receaued
it
.
For
default
wherof
I
wil
send
another
,
to
the
end
you
may
see
with
what
goodwil
and
seruice
I
haue
&
do
employ
my selfe
in
your
seruice
:
not
that
I
deale
any
whitt
of
my
owne
interest
,
but
only
of
your
Lordshippe
and
of
your
house
,
vntill
I
haue
by
Gods
helpe
brought
and
set
them
cleare
.
I
writ
likewise
in
my
last
,
that
because
it
had
been
capitulated
,
I
say
,
by
woordes
concluded
with
the
_____
that
the
billes
of
80000.
shoulde
bee
dispatched
in
my
name
,
it
were
good
for
the
accomplishing
thereof
,
that
the
sayde
Instruction
which
I
require
were
sent
me
,
to
the
end
I
might
worde
by
worde
,
accomplish
it
according
as
your
lordship
should
appoint
.
And
I
saide
vnto
_____
that
it
was
requisite
to
haue
_____
the
order
that
_____
had
obserued
,
Peter
Lopes
,
are
dispersed
in
this
court
,
but
all
might
be
excused
if
there
were
any
order
taken
.
Howebeit
presuppose
the
aforesaide
so
to
bee
,
yet
I
writte
to
my
father
that
if
it
pleased
_____
to
publishe
mee
to
haue
been
the
partie
that
had
giuen
the
_____
I
woulde
with
all
my
heart
to
do
him
seruice
do
it
:
but
I
knowe
not
what
resolution
they
will
take
.
This
I
thought
good
to
imparte
vnto
you
,
that
you
might
vnderstande
it
,
There
is
a
naughtie
man
in
this
Towne
,
who
with
excessiue
libertie
in
my
absence
,
hath
medled
in
your
Lordships
affaires
.
Especially
one
day
among
the
rest
,
in
the
presence
of
Ladye
Frauncis
of
Aratia
who
is
heere
,
who
also
(
as
shee
is
not
troubled
with
the
pippe
)
paide
him
home
agayne
presently
:
in
suche
wise
,
as
they
had
gone
together
by
the
eares
,
had
not
one
of
the
Kinges
Secretaries
wiues
,
in
whose
presence
this
argument
begunne
,
stepped
betweene
them
.
All
was
about
Orenges
death
,
&c.
And
the
same
honest
man
toulde
a
verye
friende
of
myne
but
yesterday
,
that
hee
knewe
by
some
of
credite
,
that
_____
was
in
the
disgrace
of
_____
for
certaine
causes
whiche
there
were
not
to
bee
spoken
of
,
of
him
and
his
affayres
:
whiche
when
hee
coulde
not
beare
:
he
sayde
,
By
the
habitte
of
Saint
Peter
and
S.
Paule
,
if
I
coulde
catche
him
,
hee
shoulde
pay
mee
.
This
likewise
I
thought
good
to
certifie
your
Lo.
to
the
ende
,
If
this
bee
amisse
,
wee
might
deale
warily
with
this
man
.
But
if
it
bee
otherwise
,
and
wee
may
knowe
that
this
wretche
hath
inuented
it
,
as
he
hath
done
other
things
,
also
that
you
be
sure
,
that
neither
by
word
nor
writing
you
haue
not
saide
any
thing
agaynst
the
_____
then
that
you
consider
whether
it
were
good
that
you
writ
one
letter
vnto
him
,
also
that
the
prince
writ
him
another
,
to
certifie
him
the
you
are
his
faithfull
seruaunt
:
and
therein
your
Lo.
may
say
,
that
this
hath
bin
published
and
giuen
out
,
by
reason
of
some
displeasure
conceaued
against
_____
natiue
of
_____
for
that
is
the
cause
why
I
tell
you
this
wretches
name
,
and
no
other
:
for
now
it
is
no
time
to
make
enemies
,
especially
if
heerein
this
man
hath
reported
the
trueth
.
Sende
me
woorde
whether
you
made
any
Bargaine
with
the
Mansleyer
:
For
this
wretch
here
saith
,
that
he
was
a
cutlers
sonne
of
Bilbao
,
and
that
hee
will
cause
his
father
to
repayre
to
the
king
,
for
the
rewarde
which
his
Maiestie
by
his
last
edict
offered
to
him
that
shoulde
stay
Orenge
.
In
case
he
should
haue
audience
,
they
might
bring
our
pretence
in
question
.
This
is
the
cause
why
I
speak
:
but
if
your
Lo.
woulde
presently
let
me
vnderstand
,
who
or
of
whence
this
young
man
was
,
wee
woulde
enter
acquaintaunce
with
his
father
and
mother
,
or
his
nighest
kindred
,
and
so
compounde
with
them
that
they
shoulde
not
disturbe
or
hinder
your
Lo.
rewarde
.
And
admitte
they
can
not
haue
it
,
yet
will
they
still
trouble
vs
.
For
although
the
king
woulde
not
doe
as
I
say
,
yet
might
hee
commaunde
your
Lordshippe
to
giue
the
youngmans
father
,
or
neerest
kinsman
,
part
of
that
belongeth
to
you
.
Your
Lordshippe
must
therefore
well
consider
hereof
:
and
sende
me
worde
of
your
minde
,
to
the
ende
,
by
good
counsayle
,
we
may
order
this
matter
,
which
is
of
so
great
importance
.
By
reason
of
the
pleasure
that
the
reuerent
father
Peter
of
Olaue
hath
done
in
helping
me
in
so
fitte
a
time
vnto
200.
crownes
,
I
trust
God
willing
,
this
day
seuennight
to
depart
homeward
toward
my
house
,
where
your
worshippe
may
write
to
mee
and
commaunde
mee
.
Also
,
if
your
habilitie
coulde
beare
it
,
to
helpe
mee
as
I
haue
requested
,
with
500.
Duckets
,
toward
the
reparations
of
my
house
,
your
worshippe
might
greatly
binde
me
to
your
seruice
:
but
if
you
doe
it
not
,
I
will
impute
it
to
your
want
.
Thus
commending
my selfe
to
Sir
Olaue
,
I
wil
ad
no
more
,
but
that
I
send
this
by
meanes
of
the
Lorde
embassador
Iohn
Babtista
Tassus
,
whom
I
beseeche
carefully
to
send
it
to
Sir
Olaue
.
I
also
pray
your
worship
,
to
let
me
vnderstand
of
your
receipt
hereof
,
whose
noble
parson
and
estate
,
our
Lorde
God
keepe
and
preserue
as
I
desire
.
From
Madrill
this
last
of
Apryll
.
1582.
The
superscription
was
.
To
the
noble
L.
Iasper
of
Annastro
,
my
L.
&c.
at
Turney
.
NOble
Lorde
,
Concerning
the
estate
of
Arcauty
his
businesse
.
I
assure
you
(
as
peraduenture
you
haue
hearde
)
although
he
lay
at
Paris
vnder
the
name
of
his
Maiesties
factor
,
yet
had
his
highnesse
taken
expresse
order
that
no
money
should
come
to
his
hands
:
but
be
altogether
deliuered
to
Isuard
Capello
,
and
after
to
Elias
and
Simon
Caluia
,
which
was
presently
perfourmed
in
such
wise
as
Arcauty
was
not
bounde
to
any
accompt
of
mony
by
him
receiued
.
But
he
tooke
order
in
his
great
discompt
of
36300.
crownes
.
whereof
he
had
giuen
bils
of
exchange
vnto
such
marchants
as
he
had
dealt
with
,
notwithstanding
,
there
came
neuer
a
peny
into
his
handes
,
as
I
said
,
but
to
Capello
&
Caluia
,
with
neuertheles
was
very
indiscretly
done
of
his
highnesse
in
respect
of
Arcauty
:
for
it
was
a
very
absurde
matter
,
to
deliuer
letters
of
exchange
for
that
money
that
neuer
came
to
his
handes
,
although
it
fell
out
well
.
And
if
after
giuing
vp
of
that
accompt
,
hee
had
gone
home
to
his
owne
house
,
as
he
purposed
when
he
came
hither
,
he
had
not
bin
at
that
point
that
nowe
he
is
at
.
But
he
stayed
in
this
Court
almost
2.
yeeres
,
onely
to
cleare
him selfe
of
the
theft
of
28000.
crownes
,
which
he
saieth
Alphonse
Curiel
hath
committed
,
from
his
Maiestie
,
arising
of
two
Commissions
of
55000.
crownes
:
for
when
hee
had
here
receiued
them
out
of
the
Cheft
with
thre
keys
,
he
disboursed
not
there
aboue
22000.
So
that
when
the
factor
,
who
is
Curiels
kinsman
,
or
at
the
leaste
his
very
friende
,
came
to
be
chiefe
of
the
Counsell
of
acompts
in
Flaunders
,
he
did
so
informe
him
,
as
well
by
worde
of
mouth
,
as
also
by
certayne
the
writinges
of
Isuarde
Capell
,
Arcautyes
enemie
,
that
he
made
him
beleeue
,
that
Arcauty
ought
the
saide
28000
crownes
,
so
that
thus
without
farther
a
do
,
they
haue
brought
him
to
that
estate
he
is
now
in
.
But
the
receauer
is
scaped
out
of
theyr
hands
,
as
he
who
gat
the
licenciat
chumacero
his
maiesties
counsayler
,
who
is
the
visiter
of
the
counsell
of
Demaynes
&
other
the
Kinge
his
officers
to
be
the
iudge
of
his
cause
:
but
when
the
factor
and
his
commissioners
perceiued
that
all
they
went
about
,
was
smally
to
the
purpose
,
they
woulde
not
directly
charge
the
sayd
Arcauty
,
but
did
,
and
still
do
greatly
molest
him
.
Howebeit
,
it
is
sayde
that
Chumacero
will
soone
ende
this
matter
,
and
that
the
affection
of
these
Iudges
will
soone
be
spied
.
Of
whom
the
one
is
Alfons
Carner
,
who
hath
playde
him
the
worst
tricke
of
frindshippe
that
any
man
coulde
:
as
if
him selfe
had
liued
sine
crimine
.
In
this
estate
doe
the
receiuers
affayres
now
stande
.
Where
you
desire
to
knowe
whether
bringing
instructions
from
the
generall
receiuers
,
hee
might
bouldly
come
to
giue
vp
his
accomptes
:
I
say
he
may
,
so
that
the
saide
instructions
bee
effectuall
:
also
that
there
bee
set
downe
both
the
recepts
and
disboursings
of
the
mony
.
By
this
meanes
,
together
with
bringing
money
for
your
expences
,
you
may
easely
stoppe
that
gappe
:
for
the
King
alloweth
neyther
wages
nor
any
other
thing
vnto
the
Lo.
of
Vnceta
,
who
stayeth
here
about
giuing
vppe
of
Lexaldi
the
receiuers
accompts
and
his
owne
,
yea
it
is
saide
he
will
not
giue
him
so
much
as
a
loafe
of
breade
.
I
am
therefore
of
opinion
,
that
if
you
coulde
get
your
accompt
to
be
passed
there
,
you
should
saue
much
,
both
money
and
labour
:
but
if
not
,
bee
of
good
cheare
,
for
by
the
meanes
aforesayde
you
shall
giue
the
phisition
a
figge
.
Father
,
so
soone
as
God
will
giue
mee
leaue
to
gette
to
Victoria
,
I
will
immediatly
sende
you
your
predecessors
relation
,
as
curious
and
braue
as
you
coulde
wishe
,
for
vntill
then
I
can
not
for
the
causes
that
aforetime
I
haue
shewed
you
.
I
am
very
glad
of
that
you
write
concerning
Bernarde
of
Isunca
,
as
also
the
La.
Mary
his
sister
will
be
,
to
whom
I
haue
sent
the
copie
of
your
letter
:
for
shee
loueth
him
deerely
.
God
giue
him
that
I
wishe
him
.
At
his
comming
,
I
pray
you
salute
him
from
me
,
and
will
him
to
doe
that
he
toulde
me
.
Also
that
Lady
Mary
and
her
sonne
were
in
good
health
the
20.
of
this
present
.
I
heare
so
much
of
the
child
,
that
notwithstanding
euery
man
affirmeth
it
,
yet
I
can
not
beleeue
it
.
God
preserue
him
to
his
seruice
.
Amen
.
The
prouider
the
23.
of
this
moneth
,
was
in
suche
health
as
my selfe
stande
in
neede
of
,
and
laboureth
still
to
resigne
his
office
vnto
me
:
but
he
cannot
compasse
it
.
He
wil
god
willing
,
tarry
still
at
home
:
some
say
his
Maiestie
will
sende
him
into
the
Lowe
Countreys
with
the
souldiers
that
shall
goe
thither
,
to
be
their
generall
commissarie
:
but
I
knowe
he
will
not
take
it
vpon
him
,
vnlesse
he
helpe
me
to
the
other
:
also
that
in
case
I
haue
it
,
hee
will
not
refuse
any
thing
.
But
make
not
me
author
hereof
.
In
the
sayde
letters
of
the
23.
it
is
sayde
,
that
his
Maiestie
departed
the
19.
out
of
Lisbone
,
to
meete
his
sister
the
Empresse
.
Also
that
hee
returneth
the
tenth
of
May
,
wholy
to
receiue
her
.
Also
that
the
great
Prior
is
in
the
fielde
,
with
whome
there
shall
ioyne
8000.
Castilian
souldiers
,
4000.
Almaynes
,
and
800.
Horses
of
the
garde
of
Castile
,
and
that
with
that
campe
hee
shall
goe
to
visite
all
the
houldes
and
countreys
beetweene
Oporto
and
Bayon
in
Callice
.
The
cause
is
sayde
to
bee
for
that
Don
Anthony
is
in
Fraunce
,
furnishing
him selfe
to
come
vpon
vs
,
but
I
can
not
thinke
that
.
But
his
Maiestie
will
stoppe
him
,
and
so
hee
may
make
a
fayre
hande
with
these
people
.
If
hee
were
heere
,
though
it
seeme
vnpossible
,
yet
manye
woulde
be
very
glad
.
From
Guipuscoa

came
to
him
18.
shippes
gallantly
furnished
with

Marriners
,
I
wot
not
what
to
say
of
it
:
and
althogh
here
were
a
voice
of
late
that
when
the
Empresse
was
comen
into
Portingale
his
maiesty
would
goe
to
Castile
,
yee
now
is
there
no
more
speache
:
whereupon
wee
may
gather
that
vntil
he
seeth
the
end
of
this
frenche
dealing
,
hee
will
not
out
of
this
realme
.
It
is
said
that
within
these
few
dayes
the
great
Chapleyne
of
Portingall
was
in
hande
with
him
in
the
behalfe
of
the
Realme
.
And
hat
although
his
Maiestie
did
them
great
honor
in
bringing
his
sister
to
gouerne
them
,
yet
should
they
greatly
complayne
of
his
departure
,
sithe
nowe
he
knewe
both
the
estate
,
qualitie
and
gouernours
of
the
kingdome
.
But
the
K.
vnderstanding
whereat
the
Chapleyne
leueled
,
made
him
this
answere
.
My
sister
knowing
mee
to
haue
heere
so
great
affayres
,
woulde
not
but
come
to
see
mee
.
Thus
the
Chapleyn
could
not
vnderstande
his
purpose
:
so
great
is
his
Maiesties
discretion
.
A
while
since

this

,
was
slayne
by
night
,
and
therefore
a
neere
kinsman
of
the
Admirall
of
Leon
,
was
caryed
to
prison
.
They
fet
him
out
of
the
Church
,
and
the
prouostes
of
the
court
(
comming
hither
)
apprehended
him
,
whether
by
right
or
wrong
,
and
tormented
him
brauely
,
euen
to
the
vnknitting
of
his
ioyntes
:
which
the
Admirall
is
grieued
at
,
and
complayneth
of
the
officers
of
Iustice
,
in
that
the
Gentleman
being
his
kinsman
and
of
suche
calling
,
they
had
racked
him
,
and
therefore
vsed
great
woordes
agaynst
the
president
of
Castille
:
wherevpon
his
Maiestie
commaunded
to
take
him
prisoner
,
so
as
he
is
prisoner
in
his
owne
house
,
and
his
eldest
sonne
,
the
Earle
of
Melgar
is
caried
to
prison
to
Alameda
,
in
the
countie
of
Varaias
,
because
(
as
the
speech
goeth
)
hee
is
thought
author
of
this
murder

,
they
haue
taken
away
the
woman
,
&
committed
him
as
prisoner
to
his
owne
house
.
Thus
these
three
Lords
remayne
in
the
state
of
meane
Gentlemen
.
Also
by
reason
of
some
folly
committed
in

Thus
may
you

God
preserue

I

Letters

Guillam
.
MOst
noble
L.
sith
the
copie
of
my
former
writing
vnto
you
is
herevnto
adioyned
,
Cardinall
Granuelle
entertayned
the
sayde
Abbot
at
his
house
:
wherein
I
assisted
him
vntill
hee
departed
towarde
his
Maiestie
,
whiche
was
the
20.
of
this
moneth
.
I
shewed
him
what
your
highnesse
writte
vnto
mee
:
also
howe
he
shoulde
behaue
him selfe
:
wherein
I
will
not
there
fayle
him
.
I
desired
him
to
let
me
vnderstand
if
there
were
any
thing
wherein
I
might
do
him
any
pleasure
.
I
writ
also
to
D.
Iohn
of
Idiaxz
how
earenestly
he
had
trauayled
to
bring
the
estates
to
this
resolution
that
they
haue
taken
.
Also
that
it
were
good
that
his
maiestie
lett
him
vnderstand
that
your
highnes
informed
him
of
the
whole
,
with
what
so
euer
els
I
thought
meete
.
Concerning
the
returne
of
the
souldiers
that
are
departed
out
of
these
estates
,
also
of
the
Italians
that
are
to
goe
with
them
,
I
can
say
nothing
:
onely
I
was
glad
to
vnderstand
that
his
Maiestie
hath
nominated
suche
Captaynes
ouer
them
to
guide
them
,
as
your
highnesse
doeth
so
well
like
of
,
and
as
is
meete
for
his
Royall
seruice
,
and
I
assure
my selfe
,
hee
will
so
deale
in
your
highnesse
behalfe
,
by
reason
of
the
great
loue
he
beareth
you
.
That
which
now
me
seemeth
the
best
,
is
the
furniture
of
coyne
,
and
surely
if
I
coulde
doe
anye
more
then
put
him
in
minde
thereof
,
your
highnesse
should
not
desire
it
more
.
But
I
haue
done
that
,
and
doe
it
still
,
yea
and
dayly
will
vpon
euery
opportunitie
,
considering
howe
euident
it
is
,
that
your
highnesse
can
doe
nothing
without
that
substaunce
.
Vpon
which
occasion
,
together
with
that
I
sayde
before
,
Maldonado
shall
come
and
serue
your
highnesse
.
Don
Iohn
of
Idiacq●
hath
answered
my
letters
,
the
copy
wherof
I
haue
sent
herevnto
adioyned
.
I
haue
put
both
of
them
in
minde
,
and
will
aduertise
your
highnes
of
their
resolution
.
The
Cardinall
shewed
mee
howe
desirous
hee
was
of
this
resolution
:
Also
howe
often
hee
had
propounded
it
,
willing
mee
to
doe
the
like
.
I
suppose
that
the
ordinarie
prouision
that
is
to
bee
made
,
dependeth
vndoubtedly
vpon
the
president
of
the
Tresurie
:
for
I
haue
talked
with
him
,
and
he
maketh
mee
no
answere
to
the
purpose
.
But
sith
this
is
ordered
by
the
way
of
estate
,
it
is
no
maruell
.
Of
Madams
health
and
recouerie
,
all
wee
your
highnes
seruauntes
are
verye
glad
,
and
reason
.
The
contrarye
whereof
we
doe
feele
,
in
that
the
French
haue
opportunitie
to
try
that
they
do
,
and
to
bring
all
into
triall
,
but
I
hope
in
God
that
in
the
ende
,
by
meanes
of
such
order
and
forecast
as
your
highnesse
will
in
all
places
vse
,
they
shall
reape
no
fruite
of
their
purposes
.
We
haue
of
late
dayes
greatly
wished
for
letters
from
your
highnesse
,
to
resolue
the
doubt
conceiued
of
the
death
of
Orenge
,
the
newes
being
here
so
diuers
,
as
well
from
Paris
as
Antwerpe
.
All
wise
men
thinke
him
dead
,
and
so
we
are
to
beleeue
,
although
it
be
strange
,
that
your
highnesse
cannot
fully
verifie
it
.
There
came
newes
from
Lisbone
that
hee
was
in
extremities
,
and
here
it
was
sayde
that
he
was
dead
:
But
his
fautors
had
concealed
it
a
fewe
dayes
,
whyle
they
tooke
order
in
their
owne
affayres
.
I
will
write
vnto
Velasques
of
Minaya
,
who
is
of
his
Maiesties
chamber
,
concerning
the
good
you
haue
done
him
,
and
doe
still
wishe
to
doe
,
neyther
can
it
bee
but
many
will
like
well
of
it
,
that
your
highnes
are
so
willing
to
fauour
&
pleasure
his
Maiesties
seruauntes
,
especially
such
as
are
so
neere
his
royall
person
.
I
doe
infinitely
thanke
your
highnes
for
the
pleasure
it
pleased
your
highnesse
to
shewe
mee
,
in
thanking
his
Maiestie
,
and
honouring
his
seruantes
.
The
great
good
will
you
beare
mee
,
together
with
whatsoeuer
I
am
or
may
bee
,
I
will
confesse
to
depende
of
hour
highnes
,
and
will
wholy
employ
my self
,
euen
to
the
death
,
in
your
seruice
.
I
hope
by
your
fauourable
assistaunce
at
all
times
,
I
shall
bee
able
to
doe
it
,
and
I
pray
God
I
may
requite
it
.
The
liberty
and
commoditie
that
your
highnesse
haue
giuen
mee
to
distribute
among
sundry
persons
,
to
the
yeerely
value
of
two
or
three
hundred
crownes
,
as
my selfe
shall
thinke
good
,
was
verye
comformable
to
your
highnesse
mo●●
noble
seruice
.
I
thanke
you
for
this
fauour
,
and
will
beware
of
exceeding
farther
then
neede
shall
require
:
and
all
that
I
may
reserue
in
this
expence
I
wil
,
as
one
that
herein
doe
not
pretende
to
any
other
then
your
highnesse
seruice
.
Certaynely
it
shall
bee
to
make
demonstration
of
that
which
your
highnes
meant
to
haue
done
with
Foncq
,
Lallo
,
and
Sebastian
of
Santoyo
.
In
Francis
of
Humaras
behalfe
I
wil
vse
all
diligence
,
as
your
highnes
haue
commaunded
,
towarde
those
officers
that
receiue
letters
in
his
commendation
.
Truely
hee
deserueth
all
the
fauour
that
you
shewe
him
,
and
it
were
meet
his
Maiestie
should
resolue
vpon
that
he
pretendeth
.
Hee
is
heere
,
and
hauing
shewed
him
your
highnes
desire
to
do
him
good
,
also
that
you
wished
his
seruice
,
to
the
rude
,
in
the
campe
as
also
in
all
other
occasions
,
to
haue
the
better
opportunitie
to
gratifie
him
,
hee
is
fully
resolued
to
come
and
serue
your
highnesse
,
for
he
taketh
him selfe
as
earnest
a
seruaunte
to
your
highnes
as
any
other
,
and
not
respecting
any
pretences
or
benefites
that
heere
hee
might
reape
,
and
assuring
him self
of
such
fauour
,
as
your
highnes
haue
and
will
shewe
him
:
hee
mindeth
to
take
order
to
depart
with
the
first
Gallies
.
He
had
neede
leaue
some
prouision
of
money
with
his
mother
,
but
for
that
,
and
any
other
thing
needefull
for
his
iourney
,
hee
will
seeke
the
best
remedy
hee
may
.
It
may
please
your
highnes
to
write
to
don
Sanctius
of
Padilla
,
so
to
accomodate
him
thitherward
,
that
he
may
passe
with
those
that
shall
set
first
forwarde
:
also
to
whomsoeuer
shall
haue
charge
of
him
,
to
vse
him
as
your
highnesse
seruaunt
,
and
according
to
his
profession
:
for
his
good-will
to
serue
your
highnesse
doeth
deserue
it
.
I
heare
that
Don
Bernardino
of
Mendoza
who
is
in
England
,
hath
written
to
his
Maiestie
,
and
complaineth
that
your
highnesse
doe
keepe
no
correspondence
with
him
,
as
that
since
August
last
,
when
you
writ
of
the
successe
of
Turnay
,
he
hath
not
had
any
letters
from
you
,
notwithstanding
hee
hath
sente
you
sundrye
postes
.
I
graunt
many
are
lost
,
neuerthelesse
among
so
many
some
shoulde
come
safe
.
I
thought
good
to
certifie
your
highnes
hereof
,
because
many
think
it
strange
there
should
bee
so
small
familiaritie
.
Our
Lord
preserue
your
highnesse
noble
person
,
with
the
encrease
of
long
life
,

such
honor
as

Don
Lewes
,
who
with
his
subiectes
,
alwaies
assisted
your
father
the
Emperoure
in
his
warres
,
them
would
you
not
attempte
any
thing
agaynst
the
Crowne
of
Portingall
,
to
the
preiudice
of
his
sonne
king
Anthony
,
&
so
grieuously
offende
our
L.
God
,
in
the
destruction
of
our
honor
,
life
,
&
goodes
,
which
you
haue
procured
:
neyther
woulde
I
,
or
any
the
rest
of
the
Portingales
,
his
true
subiects
,
refuse
to
serue
you
as
a
Christian
King
,
and
such
a
one
as
the
Portingales
nation
haue
euer
borne
great
goodwil
vnto
.
For
as
well
in
respect
of
the
sayde
duetie
,
as
also
by
reason
of
your
kindred
with
the
K.
of
Portingall
,
it
becommeth
not
you
to
desire
that
I
should
serue
you
as
your
vassall
,
neyther
will
my
duety
beare
that
I
shoulde
serue
you
as
your
subiect
.
This
I
le
together
with
the
inhabitauntes
thereof
belong
to
king
Anthony
,
to
whome
they
are
sworne
as
to
their
king
and
naturall
Lord
,
and
that
as
well
in
his
right
of
succession
,
and
free
election
of
the
people
of
this
kngdome
,
as
also
for
that
the
citie
&
chamber
of
Lisbone
writt
downe
certayne
reasons
,
together
with
his
right
thereto
,
which
I
cannot
thinke
but
your
Maiestie
haue
notice
of
.
Farther
,
although
there
were
no
other
cause
but
the
only
election
of
the
people
of
this
Realme
,
who
for
default
of
kings
,
are
by
their
decrees
and
ordinances
to
chuse
others
:
yet
was
it
inough
,
that
your
Maiestie
entred
the
lande
with
an
armie
,
the
controuersie
not
being
decided
:
for
had
your
title
bin
neuer
so
good
,
yet
had
you
thereby
vtterly
lost
it
.
But
I
trust
in
god
the
whole
will
returne
to
such
passe
,
as
your
Maiestie
for
the
enioying
thereof
,
will
not
damne
your
own
soule
,
but
that
it
will
in
the
ende
fall
agayne
into
the
right
Lords
dominion
,
notwithstanding
,
he
be
now
dispossessed
thereof
.
Your
Maiestie
must
not
think
me
past
shame
,
but
a
man
damnified
.
And
I
would
to
GOD
that
all
kings
had
in
their
counsels
free
men
,
deuoyde
of
ambition
,
so
shoulde
not
our
R.
Don
Anthony
,
haue
fallen
into
that
estate
,
whereto
great
treasons
haue
cast
him
headlong
,
neither
your
Maiestie
into
the
great
danger
of
the
losse
of
your selfe
,
and
subuersion
of
all
Christiandom
:
besides
,
if
you
be
at
the
day
of
iudgement
to
giue
accompt
of
the
honors
,
deathes
,
&
pillages
of
so
many
men
,
and
of
their
libertie
,
you
can
not
sufficiently
repent
&
make
amendes
for
that
is
already
passed
.
If
your
maiestie
woulde
but
thinke
vpon
the
houre
of
your
death
,
together
with
the
euils
that
then
will
offer
them selues
to
your
view
,
and
remember
that
you
are
euerlastingly
to
suffer
the
paynes
whiche
you
haue
inflicted
vpon
the
Portingalls
perceiuing
then
howe
neere
the
losse
of
all
is
vnto
you
;
Oh!
howe
woulde
you
turne
aside
from
all
that
is
past
:
for
at
that
time
it
will
bee
before
your
eyes
.
Howe
much
better
had
it
bin
for
you
,
quietly
to
haue
remained
in
your
own
realme
,
to
see
your
vassals
in
peace
,
your selfe
beloued
of
all
Christians
,
and
obeyed
of
all
your
subiectes
!
for
in
respect
of
that
you
haue
done
in
Portingall
,
not
onely
all
Christian
kings
and
princes
,
but
also
the
very
barbarous
nations
do
mortally
hate
you
.
Consider
howe
many
Innocents
you
haue
with
your
weapons
murdered
:
thinke
vpon
the
rauishments
of
so
many
widows
and
maydes
,
bournings
and
lamentations
,
as
do
cry
to
God
for
vengeaunce
aginst
you
.
Remember
how
many
wiues
ar
e
separated
from
ther
husbands
through
forced
adulteries
:
how
many
Churches
are
profaned
,
and
religion
dishonored
:
also
into
what
slauerie
you
haue
reduced
the
inhabitants
of
Portingal
,
for
that
of
all
this
,
and
of
more
which
you
haue
caused
,
you
shall
giue
accompt
before
God
,
who
will
call
you
thereto
with
rigorous
iustice
,
as
that
the
whole
hath
been
perpetrated
in
a
realme
which
God
hath
loued
aboue
all
others
in
the
world
.
That
which
the
inhabitants
of
this
afflicted
realme
doe
endure
,
is
sufficient
to
let
you
know
,
that
they
which
are
out
of
this
bondage
and
heauie
yoke
,
do
couet
rather
freely
to
dye
in
the
warres
,
then
to
fall
into
such
slauery
:
neither
will
I
otherwise
counsell
the
inhabitants
of
this
Ile
,
least
I
shoulde
both
damne
my
soule
,
and
my
honor
should
fall
into
lesse
reputation
than
nowe
it
is
in
.
For
thereof
I
make
suche
accoumpt
,
as
I
had
rather
lose
all
liues
that
it
were
possible
to
enioy
,
then
not
to
continue
loyall
to
any
king
to
whome
I
am
sworne
.
For
to
die
well
is
perpetuall
honor
,
for
the
preseruation
wherof
,
I
had
rather
perseuer
in
loyalty
,
then
feare
the
preparatiues
of
people
,
shippes
,
and
munition
,
wherewith
your
Maiestie
doeth
threaten
me
:
for
I
haue
such
a
confidence
in
God
,
that
hee
will
fight
for
vs
&
our
ships
.
The
sea
&
hauens
of
this
Ilande
,
together
with
the
foretresses
,
walles
,
and
trenches
are
ready
for
the
munition
:
yea
,
and
many
pittes
opened
,
whereinto
to
cast
those
people
that
shall
come
to
seeke
vs
,
who
are
not
to
haue
any
pardon
,
by
reason
of
such
mischiefe
as
proceedeth
of
forgiuing
them
.
Your
Maiestie
are
not
to
blame
me
:
for
I
haue
sworne
to
R.
Antony
to
defende
this
crowne
for
my
K.
and
L.
And
the
like
I
woulde
haue
done
for
for
you
,
in
case
I
had
been
sworne
thereto
,
though
not
with
so
good
a
will
.
For
it
is
enough
that
he
is
king
of
Portingall
.
But
if
I
shoulde
through
mishappe
fal
aliue
into
your
bondage
,
&
for
doing
my
duty
,
you
should
put
me
to
death
,
neither
the
remembrance
of
my
loyalty
,
neither
the
fame
of
your
crueltie
and
vniustice
would
euer
perish
.
I
serue
not
Don
Anthony
for
any
benefite
,
notwithstanding
,
I
may
obtayne
more
of
him
then
of
any
other
K.
But
my
loyalty
consisteth
in
fulfilling
my
duety
,
which
causeth
that
such
rewardes
as
by
other
then
the
K.
of
Portingall
are
promised
,
can
no
whit
mooue
mee
.
For
beyond
my
duety
,
there
is
nothing
that
can
change
my
honor
and
loytie
,
which
I
do
more
esteeme
then
all
the
kingdomes
in
the
worlde
,
whiche
is
the
same
that
enuegleth
manie
Gentlemen
.
Our
Lorde
God
guide
your
Maiestie
to
your
kingdome
,
and
restore
Portingall
to
her
right
king
and
lord
Don
Anthony
,
as
all
true
and
loyall
Portingals
doe
wishe
.
