I HAVE receaved the Quene's Majestie's Lettres, and yours this Mornynge, by the whiche I see here Majestie myndethe most honorably to goo throughe with this intended Exployte, which in my foolisshe Opynnyon is the onely Way for the Preservacion of here Highnes own Person, here Realme, and here Majestie's Honor. I receaved yesternight two Lettres from my Lord Gray, whiche I send you herewith: The one is concerning a Communycation had betwen the Dowagier, and som of the Lords of the Congregation; the other in answer of a Lettre of myne sent unto them with som News of Leethe, for that they did overslipp to advertise me of dyvers Things which, thoughe they did take as Tryfles, yet in myne Opynyon, they were worthy the knowinge (for a Man may gather by Accidents the State of their Caase ther) whereby, according to my Dewtye I might have ben better hable to satisfie the Quene's Majestie and my Lords of the Counseil, from Tyme to Tyme, of the Success and Procedings here. In the Lettre of the Dowagier's Procedings, you may see Devises of delaye, and nothing els, and therfore here ther is lytle accompt made of here bluddy Sworde in a Skabarde of Peax; here blowbering is not for nothing. All things goo not the best with the Frenche; eyther they are in desperacion of Succour, or else they lacke Victualls. I trust that Godd will thinke this last Assault punyshment ynoughe for us, and so nowe dyrect our Waies, as shall seame to hym beste; wherby we may nowe becom his Souldiers, who hetherto haue called upon his Name with nothing but swering. Godd amend us! The best of us is but nought. And if ony flyeng Taales com to your Eare, that I do not advertise you of, assure your self eyther they be false, or of no moment. And for Doctor Martin's foolishe prattinge, thinke all that he sayeth be spoken in the Cuppe: He knoweth nothinge of our Procedings here more than all the Worlde: If I shuld wryte unto you, of every uncertein Reporte here, I shuld make many Recantations. Thus hoping that by this Tyme my Cossen Sir Henry Percie, and Straunge have satisfied you. I bydd you, &c.

13 May 1560 From my Lord his Grace to Mr. Secretarie

From the D. of Norfolk's Book of Entries.

I THOUGHT good to advertise you from Tyme to Tyme (good Mr. Secretarie) of our hoole Proceedings here, and the rather for that I see howe acceptable my Lettres be unto you. And if I had not sent suche Messengers unto you, as I trasted, with the Reporte of my hoole Mynde, two or three Shets of Paper wold not have suffised me to have declared the hoole fond Doings of those, that have the Chardge, by the Quene's Majesty's Commaundment, in Scotland; but for that both Sir Henry Peirce and Sir N. Straunge are fully instructed of the hoole Circumstaunces, I woll trouble you no further with so unpleasant a Matter, but only with wisshinge, that Godd had ben, and were better served, then he hath ben hetherto in the Filde. Nowe to tell you of our present State here, I receaved yesterdale a Lettre from Mr. Sadler, which I send you herewith, in whiche he requyreth me to send Mr. Leeks five hundred Men to the Campe presently. It seamed harde to me that any Necessytie shuld cause this Towne to be lefte so unfurnyshed, as that, of the two thousand, ther shuld be lefte but on hundreth: Yet for that they shuld see for their better incouraging, that I wold helpe them with all their request to the uttermost, I have this Daie sent Mr. Leek thither with his Men, and am fayne to furnysshe this Towne, for a Tyme, whilst more Men be com, (whiche you knowe I have alredy sent for) with Horsemen of the Borders; whiche is but a weke Deffence, if the Ennemye were hable to doo any hurte, of the whiche, for so lytell a Tyme we have no grete feare. Thus longing till I here from you, I bydd you most hartely farewell. The best Newes here is, that the Scotts do not seame to dysmaye upon this chaunce. From Barwyck.
