the_o utmost_a of_o my_o wit_n and_o adventure_v my_o fortune_n with_o the_o queen_n to_o have_v reintegrate_v he_o and_o so_o continue_v faithful_o and_o industrious_o till_o his_o last_o fatal_a

which_o make_v for_o i_o in_o many_o respect_n of_o duty_n which_o i_o esteem_v above_o my_o credit_n and_o what_o i_o have_v here_o set_v down_o to_o your_o lordsh_fw-mi i_o protest_v as_o i_o hope_v to_o have_v any_o part_n in_o god_n favour_n be_v true_a it_o be_v well_o know_v how_o i_o do_v many_o year_n since_o dedicate_v my_o travel_n and_o study_n to_o the_o use_n and_o as_o i_o may_v

of_o the_o humour_n of_o a_o man_n that_o ever_o from_o the_o time_n i_o have_v any_o use_n of_o reason_n whether_o it_o be_v read_v upon_o good_a book_n or_o upon_o the_o example_n of_o a_o good_a

your_o own_o matter_n but_o you_o fare_v ill_a because_o you_o have_v choose_v i_o for_o your_o mean_a and_o dependence_n you_o have_v spend_v your_o time_n and_o thought_n in_o my_o matter_n i_o die_v these_o be_v his_o very_a word_n if_o i_o do_v not_o somewhat_o towards_o your_o fortune_n you_o shall_v not_o deny_v to_o accept_v a_o piece_n of_o land_n which_o i_o will_v bestow_v upon_o you_o my_o answer_n i_o remember_v be_v that_o for_o my_o fortune_n it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n but_o that_o his_o lordship_n offer_v make_v i_o call_v to_o mind_n what_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v say_v when_o i_o be_v in_o france_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o guise_n that_o he_o be_v the_o great_a usurer_n in_o france_n because_o he_o have_v turn_v all_o his_o estate_n into_o obligation_n mean_v that_o he_o have_v leave_v himself_o nothing_o but_o only_o have_v bind_v number_n of_o person_n to_o he_o now_o my_o lorenzo_n say_v i_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o imitate_v his_o course_n nor_o turn_v your_o state_n thus_o by_o great_a gift_n into_o obligation_n for_o you_o will_v find_v many_o bad_a debtor_n he_o bid_v i_o take_v no_o care_n for_o that_o &_o press_v it_o whereupon_o i_o say_v my_o lor._n i_o see_v i_o must_v be_v your_o homager_n and_o hold_v land_n of_o your_o gift_n but_o do_v you_o know_v the_o manner_n of_o do_v homage_n in_o law_n always_o it_o be_v with_o a_o save_n of_o his_o faith_n to_o the_o king_n and_o his_o other_o lord_n and_o therefore_o my_o l._n say_v i_o i_o can_v be_v no_o more_o you_o than_o i_o be_v and_o it_o may_v be_v with_o the_o ancient_a save_n and_o if_o i_o grow_v to_o be_v a_o rich_a man_n you_o will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o give_v it_o back_o to_o some_o of_o your_o unrewarded_a follower_n but_o to_o return_v sure_o i_o be_o though_o i_o can_v arrogate_v nothing_o to_o myself_o but_o that_o i_o be_v a_o faithful_a remembrance_n to_o his_o lordship_n that_o while_o i_o have_v most_o credit_n with_o he_o his_o fortune_n go_v on_o best_a and_o yet_o in_o two_o main_a point_n we_o always_o direct_o and_o contradictory_o differ_v which_o i_o will_v mention_v to_o your_o lordship_n because_o it_o give_v light_a to_o all_o that_o follow_v the_o one_o be_v i_o ever_o set_v this_o down_o and_o that_o the_o only_a course_n to_o be_v hold_v with_o the_o queen_n be_v by_o obsequiousness_n &_o observance_n and_o i_o remember_v i_o will_v usual_o engage_v confident_o that_o if_o he_o will_v take_v that_o course_n constant_o and_o with_o choice_n of_o good_a particular_n to_o express_v it_o the_o queen_n will_v be_v bring_v in_o time_n to_o assuerus_n question_n to_o ask_v what_o shall_v be_v do_v to_o the_o man_n that_o the_o king_n will_v honour_v meaning_n that_o her_o goodness_n be_v without_o limit_n where_o there_o be_v a_o true_a concurrence_n which_o i_o know_v in_o her_o nature_n to_o be_v true_a my_o lord_n on_o the_o otherside_n have_v a_o settle_a opinion_n that_o the_o queen_n can_v be_v bring_v to_o nothing_o but_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o necessity_n and_o authority_n and_o i_o will_v remember_v when_o by_o violent_a course_n at_o any_o time_n he_o have_v get_v his_o will_n he_o will_v ask_v i_o now_o sir_n who_o principle_n be_v true_a and_o i_o will_v again_o say_v to_o he_o my_o lord_n these_o course_n be_v like_a to_o hot_a water_n they_o will_v help_v at_o a_o pang_n but_o if_o you_o use_v they_o you_o shall_v spoil_v the_o stomach_n and_o you_o shall_v be_v fain_o still_o to_o make_v they_o strong_a and_o strong_a and_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n they_o will_v less_o their_o operation_n with_o much_o other_o variety_n wherewith_o i_o use_v to_o touch_v that_o string_n another_o point_n be_v that_o i_o always_o vehement_o dissuade_v he_o from_o seek_v greatness_n by_o a_o military_a dependence_n or_o by_o a_o popular_a dependence_n as_o that_o which_o will_v breed_v in_o the_o queen_n jealousy_n in_o himself_o presumption_n and_o in_o the_o state_n perturbation_n and_o i_o do_v usual_o compare_v they_o to_o icarus_n two_o wing_n which_o be_v join_v on_o with_o wax_n and_o will_v make_v he_o venture_v to_o soar_v too_o high_a and_o then_o fail_v he_o at_o the_o height_n and_o i_o will_v further_o say_v unto_o he_o my_o lord_n stand_v upon_o two_o foot_n and_o fly_v not_o upon_o two_o wing_n the_o two_o foot_n be_v the_o two_o kind_n of_o justice_n commutative_a and_o distributive_a use_v your_o greatness_n for_o advance_v of_o merit_n and_o virtue_n and_o relieve_v wrong_n and_o burden_n you_o shall_v need_v no_o other_o art_n or_o fineness_n but_o he_o will_v tell_v i_o that_o opinion_n come_v not_o from_o my_o mind_n but_o from_o my_o robe_n but_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o

that_o year_n no_o great_a or_o heavy_a punishment_n be_v lay_v upon_o her_o popish_a subject_n by_o the_o law_n precedent_n but_o now_o the_o vast_a project_n and_o ambition_n of_o spain_n for_o

shall_v not_o only_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v a_o foreign_a invader_n but_o also_o under_o pretence_n of_o the_o roman_a religion_n and_o power_n of_o the_o pope_n bull_n shall_v absolve_v her_o
