sorry_a i_o do_v not_o for_o it_o have_v let_v in_o more_o light_n upon_o i_o of_o the_o carriage_n of_o that_o great_a action_n and_o then_o you_o may_v have_v be_v well_o assure_v that_o i_o will_v have_v do_v that_o noble_a knight_n all_o the_o right_a that_o can_v be_v but_o sir_n the_o several_a argument_n that_o you_o urge_v in_o your_o letter_n be_v of_o that_o strength_n i_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v able_a to_o rectify_v any_o indifferent_a man_n in_o this_o point_n and_o induce_v he_o to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v no_o chimaera_n but_o a_o real_a mine_n for_o you_o write_v of_o divers_a piece_n of_o gold_n bring_v thence_o by_o sir_n walter_n himself_o and_o captain_n kemy_n and_o of_o some_o ingot_n that_o be_v find_v in_o the_o governors_n closet_n at_o st._n thoma_n

under_o his_o hand_n promise_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n to_o keep_v it_o secret_n which_o be_v do_v according_o by_o sir_n walter_n raleigh_n that_o very_o original_a paper_n be_v find_v in_o the_o say_a spanish_a governors_n closet_n at_o st._n thoma_n whereat_o as_o you_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o wonder_n and_o admire_v the_o activeness_n of_o the_o spanish_a agent_n about_o our_o court_n at_o that_o time_n so_o i_o wonder_v no_o less_o at_o the_o miscarriage_n of_o some_o of_o his_o late_a majesty_n minister_n who_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o have_v pass_v his_o royal_a word_n to_o the_o contrary_a yet_o they_o do_v help_v count_n gondamar_n to_o that_o paper_n so_o that_o the_o reproach_n lie_v more_o upon_o the_o english_a than_o the_o spanish_a minister_n in_o this_o particular_a whereas_o you_o allege_v that_o the_o dangerous_a sickness_n of_o sir_n watler_n be_v arrive_v near_o the_o place_n and_o the_o death_n of_o that_o rare_a spark_n of_o courage_n your_o brother_n upon_o the_o first_o land_n with_o other_o circumstance_n discourage_v captain_n kemy_n from_o discover_v the_o i_o but_o to_o reserve_v it_o for_o another_o time_n i_o be_o content_a to_o give_v as_o much_o credit_n to_o this_o as_o any_o man_n can_v as_o also_o that_o sir_n walter_n if_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o fleet_n according_a to_o his_o earnest_a motion_n have_v go_v with_o he_o to_o revictuall_v in_o virginia_n a_o country_n where_o he_o have_v reason_n to_o be_v welcome_a unto_o be_v of_o his_o own_o discovery_n he_o have_v a_o purpose_n to_o return_v to_o guyana_n the_o spring_n follow_v to_o pursue_v his_o first_o design_n i_o be_o also_o very_o willing_a to_o believe_v that_o it_o cost_v sir_n walter_n raleigh_n much_o more_o to_o put_v himself_o in_o equipage_n for_o that_o long_o intend_a voyage_n than_o will_v have_v pay_v for_o his_o liberty_n if_o he_o have_v go_v about_o to_o purchase_v it_o for_o reward_n of_o money_n at_o home_n though_o i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o many_o of_o the_o co-adventurer_n make_v large_a contribution_n and_o the_o fortune_n of_o some_o of_o they_o suffer_v for_o it_o at_o this_o very_a day_n but_o although_o gondamar_n as_o my_o letter_n mention_n call_v sir_n walter_n pirate_n i_o for_o my_o part_n be_o far_o from_o think_v so_o because_o as_o you_o give_v a_o unanswerable_a reason_n the_o plunder_v of_o st._n thoma_n be_v a_o act_n do_v beyond_o the_o equator_fw-la where_o the_o article_n of_o peace_n betwixt_o the_o two_o king_n do_v not_o extend_v yet_o under_o favour_n though_o he_o break_v not_o the_o peace_n he_o be_v say_v to_o break_v his_o patent_n by_o exceed_v the_o bound_n of_o his_o commission_n as_o the_o foresay_a declaration_n relate_v for_o king_n james_n have_v make_v strong_a promise_n to_o count_n gondamar_n that_o this_o fleet_n shall_v commit_v no_o outrage_n upon_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n subject_n by_o land_n unless_o they_o begin_v first_o and_o i_o believe_v that_o be_v the_o main_a cause_n of_o his_o death_n though_o i_o think_v if_o they_o have_v proceed_v that_o way_n against_o he_o in_o a_o legal_a course_n of_o trial_n he_o may_v have_v defend_v himself_o well_o enough_o whereas_o you_o allege_v that_o if_o that_o action_n have_v succeed_v and_o afterward_o be_v well_o prosecute_v it_o may_v have_v bring_v gondamar_n great_a catholic_n master_n to_o have_v be_v beg_v for_o at_o the_o church_n door_n by_o friar_n as_o he_o be_v once_o bring_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n day_n i_o believe_v it_o have_v much_o damnify_v he_o and_o interrupt_v he_o in_o the_o possession_n of_o his_o west_n indies_n but_o not_o bring_v he_o under_o favour_n to_o so_o low_a a_o ebb_n i_o have_v observe_v that_o it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a thing_n in_o your_o popish_a country_n for_o prince_n to_o borrow_v from_o the_o altar_n when_o they_o be_v reduce_v to_o any_o straits_n for_o they_o say_v the_o ●…iches_n

relation_n but_o i_o can_v have_v wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n he_o have_v obtain_v it_o for_o i_o believe_v that_o neither_o the_o transgression_n of_o his_o commission_n nor_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o do_v beyond_o the_o line_n can_v have_v shorten_v the_o line_n of_o his_o life_n otherwise_o but_o in_o all_o probability_n we_o may_v have_v be_v happy_a in_o he_o to_o this_o very_a

what_o you_o write_v that_o sir_n william_n st._n geon_n make_v a_o overture_n unto_o he_o of_o procure_v his_o pardon_n for_o 1500_o l._n but_o whether_o he_o can_v have_v effect_v it_o i_o doubt_v a_o little_a when_o he_o have_v come_v to_o negotiate_v it_o real_o but_o i_o extreme_o wonder_v how_o that_o old_a sentence_n which_o have_v lie_v dormant_a above_o sixteen_o year_n against_o sir_n
