Description: | London.
Though I wrote very lately, I would not lose the opportunity of this messenger to assure you that I daily pray for you as for myself, that God will preserve you and give you all earthly and celestial blessings, and I trust it will not at your best leisure displease you to read these lines. "Blesed be ouer good God, ouer dreade sufferen is in good helthe of body, and goethe or rydeth every fayer daye abrod, which he longe contenue, thogh in thes faythelesse dayes, tyll all the myscreante conspiryng traytors who soever have theyr just deserte, is wyshed by her grases faythefull servauntes.
"It was her Majesties pleasuer to commaunde me from the corte the last lordes daye to assyst the shreves of London for the execution of thes horrebull traytores, which I sawe parfourmed apon them as by thys inclosed dothe appere, who as they lyved so died. To God I leve them withoute your honers furder troble. To your lordshipes good selfe, I beseche you let me tell you it is resoulved that 33 of the nobyllete and prevy counsell &c. shall goe to the Queen of Skottes to Fotheryngam Castell to senser her accordyng to the lawe made the last session of Parlament and thogh it be enough in lawe yet thoght it shalbe rattefied by the next Parlament, which is appoynted to begene the 15th of the next monethe, whereat every good chrystean and loyall servaunt to our grasius sufferen and mysteres is to praye and furder by all good meanes possible that all thynges that maye furder the glory of God and the contenuans of the good of ouer countery and Queen Elisabeth maye be established, and that the serpent maye no longer be kept hote in her bosome." Sir Robert Germe [Graeme] arrived here this last night, who to my heart's comfort told me of your lordship's well doing. I can hardly recover my late dangerous sickness, but I bless God I am much better than I was. My poor wife looks to be delivered every day.
