who_o he_o repose_v

advantage_v by_o your_o absence_n if_o the_o king_n shall_v declare_v himself_o and_o retire_v to_o a_o safe_a place_n you_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o wait_v upon_o he_o from_o thence_o as_o well_o as_o out_o of_o any_o part_n of_o england_n over_o and_o above_o the_o service_n which_o you_o may_v do_v his_o majesty_n there_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n in_o the_o same_o letter_n to_o sir_n lewis_n from_o middleburg_n you_o declare_v that_o your_o purpose_n to_o remain_v in_o that_o retire_a place_n and_o condition_n be_v only_o till_o you_o receive_v instruction_n from_o their_o majesty_n which_o sure_o be_v not_o very_o necessary_a for_o your_o employment_n in_o a_o retire_a private_a life_n you_o desire_v he_o to_o hasten_v your_o say_a instruction_n unto_o you_o by_o some_o safe_a hand_n you_o desire_v he_o to_o send_v you_o a_o cipher_n of_o which_o there_o can_v be_v no_o great_a need_n for_o your_o give_v he_o a_o account_n how_o you_o spend_v your_o vacant_a hour_n or_o if_o there_o be_v yet_o sure_a that_o be_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o you_o beseech_v the_o queen_n majesty_n to_o vouchsafe_v you_o a_o cipher_n or_o why_o you_o will_v not_o adventure_v to_o write_v to_o her_o majesty_n but_o by_o express_v till_o such_o time_n as_o you_o have_v a_o cipher_n but_o why_o do_v i_o be_v time_n and_o paper_n in_o make_v such_o inference_n in_o that_o letter_n of_o your_o lordship_n to_o her_o majesty_n date_v from_o middleburg_n the_o 21_o of_o january_n you_o show_v yourself_o indeed_o very_o confident_a that_o if_o his_o majesty_n after_o all_o he_o have_v late_o do_v shall_v betake_v himself_o to_o the_o easy_a and_o compliant_a way_n of_o accommodation_n you_o shall_v serve_v his_o majesty_n more_o by_o your_o absence_n then_o by_o all_o your_o industry_n to_o which_o dark_a expression_n i_o will_v give_v no_o light_n but_o withal_o you_o show_v that_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v betake_v himself_o to_o a_o safe_a place_n you_o shall_v then_o live_v in_o impatience_n patience_n and_o misery_n till_o you_o wait_v on_o her_o majesty_n so_o short-breathed_a be_v your_o resolution_n to_o lead_v a_o private_a retire_a life_n on_o that_o side_n the_o sea_n yet_o true_o how_o long_o you_o live_v in_o that_o manner_n i_o have_v not_o hear_v but_o it_o shall_v seem_v it_o be_v not_o many_o week_n for_o by_o the_o ten_o of_o march_n your_o lordship_n have_v be_v so_o long_o at_o the_o hague_n that_o you_o think_v yourself_o very_o sufficient_o instruct_v and_o able_a to_o inform_v her_o majesty_n of_o the_o state_n of_o that_o place_n both_o in_o point_n of_o affection_n and_o interest_n quaere_fw-la in_fw-la relation_n to_o what_o which_o consider_v the_o many_o province_n and_o town_n and_o person_n to_o be_v inquire_v after_o there_o before_o any_o good_a judgement_n can_v be_v make_v of_o the_o state_n of_o that_o place_n in_o either_o of_o the_o respect_n above_o mention_v and_o the_o reservedness_n of_o that_o nation_n especial_o towards_o stranger_n i_o dare_v say_v will_v have_v ask_v some_o other_o very_o busy_a man_n three_o very_a busy_a week_n but_o god_n have_v give_v your_o lordship_n much_o quickness_n of_o wit_n and_o your_o great_a industry_n and_o pain_n in_o the_o study_n of_o book_n have_v make_v the_o study_n of_o man_n a_o sport_n to_o you_o in_o which_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o some_o man_n may_v do_v more_o in_o a_o day_n they_o another_o man_n can_v do_v in_o a_o year_n there_o be_v therefore_o no_o certain_a inference_n to_o be_v make_v of_o the_o time_n you_o have_v spend_v at_o the_o hague_n by_o the_o number_n of_o talent_n you_o have_v gain_v there_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o improvement_n may_v have_v be_v make_v by_o some_o other_o man_n but_o when_o in_o your_o letter_n to_o the_o queen_n majesty_n date_v at_o the_o hague_n before_o her_o majesty_n come_v thither_o you_o say_v you_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o mention_v any_o business_n to_o her_o majesty_n since_o you_o leave_v england_n may_v we_o not_o thence_o lawful_o infer_v that_o there_o be_v some_o business_n commit_v to_o your_o knowledge_n at_o least_o which_o you_o may_v have_v mention_v to_o her_o majesty_n and_o sure_o my_o lord_n when_o your_o lordship_n write_v to_o the_o king_n majesty_n with_o that_o hardiness_n which_o you_o think_v his_o affair_n and_o complexion_n require_v though_o everybody_o know_v your_o lordship_n never_o have_v the_o honour_n to_o be_v a_o counsellor_n yet_o i_o believe_v most_o man_n will_v believe_v that_o you_o either_o presume_v to_o interpose_v in_o his_o majesty_n affair_n without_o be_v question_v which_o you_o say_v you_o never_o do_v or_o that_o his_o majesty_n have_v entrust_v you_o with_o some_o part_n of_o his_o affair_n on_o that_o side_n the_o sea_n from_o whence_o you_o write_v or_o which_o be_v worst_a for_o you_o that_o in_o some_o affair_n then_o on_o the_o carpet_n your_o lordship_n be_v a_o very_a secret_a and_o a_o principal_a counsellor_n if_o his_o majesty_n send_v to_o zealand_n or_o holland_n to_o demand_v your_o good_a advice_n about_o they_o have_v my_o lord_n your_o father_n and_o so_o many_o other_o able_a counsellor_n at_o that_o time_n not_o far_o from_o he_o but_o i_o will_v inquire_v no_o further_o what_o business_n you_o have_v or_o do_v beyond_o the_o sea_n though_o perhaps_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o make_v a_o unhappy_a guess_n at_o it_o by_o the_o two_o note_n of_o arm_n find_v among_o your_o paper_n i_o come_v to_o your_o letter_n write_v from_o thence_o the_o fall_v whereof_o into_o hand_n they_o be_v not_o direct_v to_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o willing_a to_o cast_v up_o in_o the_o number_n of_o your_o misfortune_n so_o your_o lordship_n will_v not_o forget_v to_o put_v this_o into_o your_o reckon_n that_o no_o misfortune_n happen_v to_o any_o man_n without_o the_o special_a providence_n of_o god_n who_o hand_n many_o man_n think_v they_o see_v in_o make_v your_o own_o a_o instrument_n to_o discover_v more_o against_o you_o then_o can_v easy_o have_v be_v find_v out_o otherwise_o though_o the_o falsehood_n of_o a_o person_n you_o trust_v and_o other_o

your_o lordship_n who_o it_o concern_v crave_v your_o leave_n to_o say_v that_o these_o letter_n of_o you_o be_v so_o full_a and_o clear_a a_o evidence_n of_o your_o be_v a_o excellent_a courtier_n and_o as_o excellent_a a_o secretary_n that_o i_o doubt_v the_o world_n will_v never_o admit_v your_o be_v ill_o in_o either_o for_o a_o good_a excuse_n of_o the_o fault_n have_v be_v find_v in_o some_o expression_n of_o your_o letter_n i_o shall_v instance_n but_o in_o one_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o unworthy_a you_o therein_o put_v upon_o your_o country_n which_o notwithstanding_o i_o conceive_v will_v be_v judge_v by_o those_o to_o who_o you_o appeal_v to_o have_v be_v but_o a_o wild_a piece_n of_o civility_n to_o asperse_v a_o whole_a nation_n especial_o your_o own_o with_o the_o

be_v suffer_v to_o pass_v for_o a_o ill_o make_v compliment_n i_o beseech_v your_o lordship_n what_o good_a construction_n can_v be_v make_v of_o your_o say_n it_o be_v the_o first_o contentment_n you_o have_v be_v capable_a of_o a_o long_a time_n that_o her_o majesty_n be_v safe_o arrive_v in_o holland_n withdraw_v from_o a_o country_n unworthy_a of_o she_o which_o that_o her_o majesty_n
