Description: | 1588, April [17-] 27. N.S. Medenblicq.
The soldiers murmur much at the arrival of another ship of war in the mouth of the harbour, and pray your Excellency to order it to withdraw. Also, it is rumoured that those imprisoned and afterwards released at Enchuysen have not been allowed to leave the town. As this may start fresh difficulties I beg you will secure their entire freedom.
There has been some humour shown here concerning the proposals for discounts, but I have soothed it so well that I hope tomorrow we shall be able to have your Excellency's presence.
I would beg that the departure of the soldiers and all points relating to the war may be left to me, or at least that no one shall do anything without apprising me and hearing my opinion, the commissaries confining themselves to the payment of the money; for there are fancies which (by wishing too much to advance) retard; and hinder affairs which are well begun.
