SECRÉTAIRE DE SA MAJESTÉ

Right honorable.

Y^ letter concerning the companie wich would hâve stolen over

with Rubens came oportunely to meete with one from y* Sp. Amb*^

to my L^ of Suflfolke desiring either their pasport to goe over seas

or libertie hère at home. His Majesty is not pleased to graunt either

of them till his coming to London when he will advise what to do

about them meanwhile hath given order to my L^ of Suflfolke to hâve

them brought up. My L^ Treasorer and my L"^ Marshal returne

towarde London this day. I intend (God willing) so to followe as to

be at London on Saturday night, which day his Majestie intendeth

to goe through as he came in a day. Concerning the place of

Surveyor of the Ordinance his Maj*^ doth persist in his good purpose

not to permitt in that or any other belonging to his service buying

and selling.

Thus I rest Y^ H"

humble servant
