I desire From Madrill this last of Apryll 1582. The superscription was To the noble L. Iasper of Annastro my L. c. at Turney NOble Lorde To the generall paymaster of the P. of Parma his armie I haue receiued your letter dated the 18. of Februarie which notwithstanding it lay aboue two moneths by the way yet came in so good time that together with the supply of 200. crownes which you sent me there with I hope godwilling wtin these 8. daies to go home to my house where God willing you shal alwayes finde mee readye at your commaunde as also hereafter where euer I bee euen to the death And because you haue and still do deale so earnestly in my affaires notwithstāding you haue assigned these 200. crownes together with the other 300. vppon Hierome of Salamanca I will deliuer them to whomsoeuer you shall appoint as speedily and diligently as reason requireth for I will slacke no longer then vntill the first opportunitie Concerning the estate of Arcauty his businesse I assure you as peraduenture you haue hearde although he lay at Paris vnder the name of his Maiesties factor yet had his highnesse taken expresse order that no money should come to his hands but be altogether deliuered to Isuard Capello and after to Elias and Simon Caluia which was presently perfourmed in such wise as Arcauty was not bounde to any accompt of mony by him receiued But he tooke order in his great discompt of 36300. crownes whereof he had giuē bils of exchange vnto such marchants as he had dealt with notwithstanding there came neuer a peny into his handes as I said but to Capello Caluia with neuertheles was very indiscretly done of his highnesse in respect of Arcauty for it was a very absurde matter to deliuer letters of exchange for that money that neuer came to his handes although it fell out well And if after giuing vp of that accompt hee had gone home to his owne house as he purposed when he came hither he had not bin at that point that nowe he is at But he stayed in this Court almost 2. yeeres onely to cleare him selfe of the theft of 28000. crownes which he saieth Alphonse Curiel hath committed from his Maiestie arising of two Commissions of 55000. crownes for when hee had here receiued them out of the Cheft with thre keys he disboursed not there aboue 22000. So that when the factor who is Curiels kinsman or at the leaste his very friende came to be chiefe of the Counsell of acompts in Flaunders he did so informe him as well by worde of mouth as also by certayne the writinges of Isuarde Capell Arcautyes enemie that he made him beleeue that Arcauty ought the saide 28000 crownes so that thus wtout farther a do they haue brought him to that estate he is now in But the receauer is scaped out of theyr hands as he who gat the licenciat chumacero his maiesties counsayler who is the visiter of the counsell of Demaynes other the Kinge his officers to be the iudge of his cause but when the factor and his commissioners perceiued that all they went about was smally to the purpose they woulde not directly charge the sayd Arcauty but did and still do greatly molest him Howebeit it is sayde that Chumacero will soone ende this matter and that the affection of these Iudges will soone be spied Of whom the one is Alfons Carner who hath playde him the worst tricke of frindshippe that any man coulde as if him selfe had liued sine crimine In this estate doe the receiuers affayres now stande Where you desire to knowe whether bringing instructions from the generall receiuers hee might bouldly come to giue vp his accomptes I say he may so that the saide instructions bee effectuall also that there bee set downe both the recepts and disboursings of the mony By this meanes together with bringing money for your expences you may easely stoppe that gappe for the King alloweth neyther wages nor any other thing vnto the Lo. of Vnceta who stayeth here about giuing vppe of Lexaldi the receiuers accompts and his owne yea it is saide he will not giue him so much as a loafe of breade I am therefore of opinion that if you coulde get your accompt to be passed there you should saue much both money and labour but if not bee of good cheare for by the meanes aforesayde you shall giue the phisition a figge Father so soone as God will giue mee leaue to gette to Victoria I will immediatly sende you your predecessors relation as curious and braue as you coulde wishe for vntill then I can not for the causes that aforetime I haue shewed you I am very glad of that you write concerning Bernarde of Isunca as also the La. Mary his sister will be to whom I haue sent the copie of your letter for shee loueth him deerely God giue him that I wishe him At his comming I pray you salute him from me and will him to doe that he toulde me Also that Lady Mary and her sonne were in good health the 20. of this present I heare so much of the child that notwithstanding euery man affirmeth it yet I can not beleeue it God preserue him to his seruice Amen The prouider the 23. of this moneth was in suche health as my selfe stande in neede of and laboureth still to resigne his office vnto me but he cānot compasse it He wil godwilling tarry still at home some say his Maiestie will sende him into the Lowe Countreys with the souldiers that shall goe thither to be their generall commissarie but I knowe he will not take it vpon him vnlesse he helpe me to the other also that in case I haue it hee will not refuse any thing But make not me author hereof In the sayde letters of the 23. it is sayde that his Maiestie departed the 19. out of Lisbone to meete his sister the Empresse Also that hee returneth the tenth of May wholy to receiue her Also that the great Prior is in the fielde with whome there shall ioyne 8000. Castilian souldiers 4000. Almaynes and 800. Horses of the garde of Castile and that with that campe hee shall goe to visite all the houldes and countreys beetweene Oporto and Bayon in Callice The cause is sayde to bee for that Don Anthony is in Fraunce furnishing him selfe to come vpon vs but I can not thinke that But his Maiestie will stoppe him and so hee may make a fayre hande with these people If hee were heere though it seeme vnpossible yet manye woulde be very glad From Guipuscoa there came to him 18. shippes gallantly furnished with aboue 1500. Marriners I wot not what to say of it and althogh here were a voice of late that when the Empresse was comen into Portingale his maiesty would goe to Castile yee now is there no more speache whereupon wee may gather that vntil he seeth the end of this frenche dealing hee will not out of this realme It
