Sir , I did not forgett to send to the caryars to vnderstand if I might
have had some intelligence from some good body at Harling ,
(GAWDY-E2-P1,22.3)

but I found the labor lost , and my expectation deceived :
(GAWDY-E2-P1,22.4)

yet the daye before I vnderstood by M=r= Murrell that your welfare was
answerable to my wishe . (GAWDY-E2-P1,22.5)

And I hoope not to be acquainted with any chaunge therof .
(GAWDY-E2-P1,22.6)

Being at the court vppon Sonday last I sawe the making of ij newe
Knightes S=r= Henry Graye , and S=r= Horatio Paliveseno .
(GAWDY-E2-P1,22.7)

Her Ma=tie= vppon Monday was wonderfull mery to the greate contentement
of all good and true hartes . (GAWDY-E2-P1,22.8)

She was looked for as this night heare at London (GAWDY-E2-P1,22.9)

but her coming is nowe deferred vntill the morning ;
(GAWDY-E2-P1,22.10)

ther is bothe great preparation for running and also greate expectation
of the same , (GAWDY-E2-P1,22.11)

but how it will fall out you shall heare of heareafter .
(GAWDY-E2-P1,22.12)

I have sent yow downe our certificate from the courte which yow shall
fynde to be in the same forme I advertised yow of before .
(GAWDY-E2-P1,22.13)

The Speache of the going of the Ambassadours doth hold likely to prove
very ceirtayne , (GAWDY-E2-P1,22.14)

and vppon <P_23> Sondaye laste there was a New Commyssioner apoynted by
the Counsell to go with the rest , S=r= Amyas Pawlet .

M=r= Jermy takethe great paynes at the courte (GAWDY-E2-P1,23.20)

for surelye lodging may fall out to be bad (GAWDY-E2-P1,23.21)

and Richemond grene is not very fayre , (GAWDY-E2-P1,23.22)

but it is thought that neither ye scaresety of the one nor the foulnes
of the other will suffer any man to outbydd him . (GAWDY-E2-P1,23.23)

Well let him have it , (GAWDY-E2-P1,23.24)

he that wynnes gold , let him eate gold , (GAWDY-E2-P1,23.25)

and yet a man may buy gold to deare . (GAWDY-E2-P1,23.26)

Yow shall vnderstande of some accydentall newes heare in this towne
(GAWDY-E2-P1,23.27)

thoughe my self {COM:sic} no wyttnesse thereof , yet I may be bold to

and killed a child , and a woman great with child forthwith ,
(GAWDY-E2-P1,23.31)

and hurt an other man in the head very soore . (GAWDY-E2-P1,23.32)

How they will answere it I do not study vnlesse their profession were
better , (GAWDY-E2-P1,23.33)

but in chrystyanity I am very sorry for the chaunce (GAWDY-E2-P1,23.34)

but God his iudgementes ar not to be $searched nor enquired of at
mannes handes . (GAWDY-E2-P1,23.35)

And yet I fynde by this an old proverbe veryfyed (GAWDY-E2-P1,23.36)

ther never comes more hurte then commes of fooling .
(GAWDY-E2-P1,23.37)

My Oncle dothe fynde him self reasonably well , whom I do not lett
continually to visitt , (GAWDY-E2-P1,23.38)

The Skottishe Ambassadour being at the Court vppon Sonday last seemed
{TEXT:negation_missing} to be acquainted with any such thing
(GAWDY-E2-P1,24.46)

good end touching some good honorable peace . (GAWDY-E2-P1,24.47)
