your Lordship to consider that time groweth precious with me and that a married man is seven yeares elder in his thoughts the first day and therefore what a discomfortable thing it is for me to be unsettled still for surely were it not that I think my self born to do my Soveraign service and therefore in that station I will live and dy otherwise for my own private comfort it were better for me that the King did blot me out of his Book or that I should turne to endeavour to serve him in some other kind then for me to stand thus at a stop and to have that little reputation which by my industry I gather to be scattered and taken away by continuall disgraces every new man comming above me and sure I am J shall never have fair promises and hope from all your Lordships For J know not what service saving that your Lordships all told me were good and J would believe you in a much greater matter and if it were nothing else J hope the modesty of my suit deserveth somewhat For J know well the Sollicitours place is not as your Lordship lest it time working alteration somewhat in the profession much more in that speciall place and were it not to satisfie my wives friends and to get my self out of being a Common gaze and a speech J protest before God I would never speak word for it But to conclude as my honourable Lady was a mean to make me to change the name of another So if it please you to help me as you said to change my owne name I cannot be but more and more bounden to you and I am much deceived if your Lordship find not the King well inclined as for my Lord of Salisbury forward and affectionate A Letter to the King touching the Sollicitours place It may please your excellent Majesty HOw honestly ready I have beene most gratious Soveraign to do your Majesty humble service to the best of my power and in manner beyond my power as I now stand I am not so unfortunate but your Majesty knoweth for both in the Commission of union the labour whereof for men of my profession rested most upon my hands and this last Parliament in the Bill of the Subsidie both Body and preamble in the Bill of Attaindors both Tresham and the rest in the matter of purveiance in the Ecclesiasticall petitions in the grievances and the like as I was ever carefull and not without good successe sometimes to put forward that which was good sometimes to keep back that which was good sometimes to keep back that which was worse So your Majesty was pleased kindly to accept of my service and to say to me such conflicts were the wars of Peace and such victories the victories of Peace and therefore such servants that obtained them were by Kings that raign in peace no lesse to be esteemed the conquerours in the Wars in all which neverthelesse I can challenge to my selfe our sufliciency but that I was diligent and reasonable happy to execute those directions which I received either immediatly from your royall mouth or from my Lord of Salisbury at that time it pleased your Majesty also to assure me that upon the remove of the then Attourney I should not be forgotten but be brought into ordinary place and this was after confirmed nuto me by many of my Lords and towards the end of the last term the mannet also in perticular ●poken of that is That Mr. Sollicitour should be made your Maiesties Sergeant and I Sollicitour For so it was thought best to sort with both our gifts and faculties for the good of our service and of this resolution both Courtand Coun●ry tooke knowledge Neither was this my invention or project of mine own but moved from my Lord I think first from my Lord Chancellour whereupon resting your Majesty well knoweth I never opened my mouth for the greater place although I am sure I had two circumstances that Mr. Attourney that now is could not all adge the one nine years service of the Crown the other being couzen Germain to the Lord of Salisbury for of my Fathers service I will not speak but for the lesse place I conceive c. But after this Mr. Attorney Habbard was placed I heard no more o● my preferment but it seemed to be at a stop to my great disgrace and discontentment For Gracious Soveraign if still when the matters are stirred another shall put in before me your Majesty had need to work a miracle or else I shall be a ●ame man to do you services And therefore my most humble suit unto your Majesty is That this which seemed to me intended may speedily be performed and I hope my former service shall be but as beginnings to better when I am better strengthened For sure I am no mans heart is suller I say not but many may have greater hearts but I say not fuller of love and duty towards your Majesty and your children as I hope time will manifest against envie and detraction if any be To conclude I humbly c●ave pardon for my boldnesse A Letter to the Earl of Salisbury of courtesie upon a New-yeers guift It may please your good Lordship HAving no guift to present you within my degree proportionable to my mind I desire neverthelesse to take the advantage of a Ceremony to expresse my self to your Lordship it being the first time I could make the like acknowledgment out of the person of a Suitor wherefore I most humbly pray your Lordship to think of me that now it hath pleased you by many effectuall and great benefits to add the assurance and comfort of your love and savour to the precedent disposition which was in me to admire your vertue and merit I do esteem whatsoever I have or may have in this world but as trash in comparison of having the honour and happinesse to be a neer and well accepted Kinsman to so rare and wor●hy a Councellour Governour and Patriot For having been a studious is not a curious observer as well of Antiquity of Vertue as of late Peace I forbeare to say to your Lordship what I find and conceive but to another I would thinke to make my self believed But not to be tedious in that which may have the shew of a complement I can but wish your Lordship many happy yeares many more then your Father had but even so many more as we may need you more So I remain Yours c.
