Letter from Henry Palmer
to Cromwell

Received 12 Nov. Cromwell's letter of 31 Oct., bidding him forbear to meddle with the office of the serjeant royal of Guisnes, unless he can prove that it is not incident to my lord Chamberlain's office as lieutenant. Explains his conduct. Has ceased to interfere in the matter since Cromwell's letter. Hopes if any motion be made touching the gaol at Guisnes, the order he took in open court before Cromwell's letter arrived may take effect, viz.:– When he appointed a jailor at the court holden in the King's Exchequer at Calais by him as bailey, 16 Oct., with Thos. Fowler, deputy to Mr. Robt Fowler, vice-treasurer, Thos. Boyes, deputy to lord Edmund Howard, comptroller, Wm. Pryseley, John Massingberd, John Cokeson, John Wyndebanck, and four others (named).

Petition to the French Ambassador by Sebastian D'Anvalx, gentleman of France:

1. Sebastian D'Anvalx, gentleman of France, states that about one year and three-quarters past he happened to fall in with one Mary Wynibanke, daughter to Richard Wynibank, of Sandown Castle, gentleman, unto whom being contracted, and her father consenting to the same, he disbursed divers sums for such necessaries as she wanted, and expecting her father's coming to perform the marriage for the space of eight months, he bare her charges for her lodging, meat, drink, and apparel. The said orator being wearied with so long delay being earnest with her to perform her promise, she craved respect for three weeks, and in the meantime he took a chamber for her; she, however, went from thence and spoiled him of certain jewels, stuffs, money, apparel, and writings, which he had committed to her keeping. After this time he found her in the service of the Lady Sidney, who very honourably gave him good words, praying him that she might stay there five or six months, and then she would with the preferment of her friends yield her as his wife unto him. Wherewithal the said orator being well pleased, the said Mary, during the time of her abode with Lady Sidney, sent to him for money and other necessaries, which he sent unto her. The six months being ended he again waited on her Ladyship, who answered that at the coming home of Sir Henry Sidney, order should be taken for the matter and all should be well. A little before his return the said Mary went from her Ladyship, and has since privily lurked in places unknown to the said orator, so as Sir Henry told him that he could not help the matter, and willed him take his remedy by law. Thomas Wynibank, uncle to the said Mary, who had also given his consent, promised that if the said Mary had received anything from the said orator that he would see it answered, now makes a flat denial of any such promise, adding that he would neither meddle or make with his said niece, but willed him attempt the law for his remedy.
2. Begs that he will move the Privy Council to call the said Richard and Thomas Wynibank before them, and upon hearing of their evil dealing in this matter make a final order and determination therein. Endd.: Pour le capitaine Bastien François. P. 1.

Sir Henry Palmer to the Lord Admiral.

"May it please your good lordship, according to your directions, I came over with Mr. Wyndebanke to Callis road, and came to an anchor there about 12 of the clock the last night, where I found at an anchor 12 of the ships of war of the Low Countries. The governor of Calais sent out this enclosed letter by one Robert Flye, a Dutchman, one whom the said governor doth make great account of, who hath assured me that Rysbanke is possessed by the enemy, and that they have mounted 8 pieces of artillery there. Upon the east side of the town (near unto the fortification that the governor hath made without the town) they have planted 5 pieces of battery; and upon the west end of the town they have planted certain pieces of ordnance, but how many he knoweth not, neither hath the enemy (as yet) played with them, but in the other two places they lay it on for life. Their number of men are 15,000.” They have more ordnance coming. Ships cannot enter the haven without great peril from the shot from Rysbanke; yet some have passed in and out, since the enemy took Rysbanke, by keeping to the eastward of the pier, which sheltered them. Last night, however, are come from Gravelines, 5 double shallops full of shot, each with a small piece in the prow, "who have prevented some shallops that offered to go in with soldiers this last night, with whom also Mr. Wyndebank was shipped to have gone in. They keep themselves safe within the bank to the eastward of the pier, where one quarter of the enemy lodgeth. Mr. Wyndybank doth make great haste and therefore I must leave the rest to his report. He can inform your lordship the cause of my stay here till the next full sea." Calais Road, 3 April 1596.

There id neither the commodity of a master of the language, nor any lodging place free from that of the Dutch, which is spoken as commonly as in Germany, besides, their unruly behaviour is as great as their privileges. This is the cause of his living in Florence, where, though somewhat dearer, he finds greater accommodation.

I will settle my whole estate, as also leave him all my estate in the parsonages of Hurst and Riscombe after my decease, and settle all upon his heir male, and in case there be none, to engage a great part of it for provision for daughters. For his present maintenance I will allow him 200l. per annum, as also his wife's portion to purchase other lands for present benefit, and part of her jointure. If this may be entertained, I shall wait upon Mr. Secretary, which at this present had been performed had not my bodily infirmities been more now than ever.

I despair of ever being so fortunate as to find you at home, having missed you so often. My suit to you therefore i, that you would let me know by my ervant at what time, either this day or to-morrow, I may be permitted to attend your ladyship, to the end I may endeavour to remove such misunderstandings as by Lady Cunningham I perceive there are grown between your ladyship and myself. I cannot doubt but that my equest will be granted, especially when I reflect upon your ladyship's quality, and the courtesy and civility which naturally accompany that, and withall consider that the tendering of my humble service in peron to your ladyship cannot be in the least kind prejudicial to you, since I have the quality and reputation of a gentleman, and such an one as can never deire more than what in any judgment he may justly claim to from a lady of the greatest reervation.

Letter from Thomas Windebank
to his cousin Robert Reade:

"We have had a most cold, wet, and long time of living in the field, but have kept ourselves warm with the hopes of rubbing, fubbing, and scrubbing those scurvy, filthy, dirty, nasty, lousy, itchy, scabby , shitten, stinking, slovenly, snotty-nosed, logger-headed, foolish, insolent, proud, beggarly, impertinent, absurd, grout-headed, villainous, barbarous, beastial, false, lying, roguish, devilish, long-eared, short-haired, damnable, atheistcal, puritanical crew of the Scottish Covenant."

"Their light horse was much like that wooden nag they saw billet on in Drury Lane, full as ridged-backed as that, and without more life at all, and just as prick-eared and pin-rumped as a famished cat of mountain, or country pedlar's starved foisting hound."
