Your good Gossip and friende Ant. Cardinall of Granuelle The superscription was To my L. of Assonuille counsellour and one of his Maiesties priuie counsell in the Lowe countreys MAdam To the Dutches of Parma the 27. of April 1582. with his owne hande I haue answered al your highnes letters that came to my hande and doe very desirously attende newes from thence of your highnesse perfect recouerie to the ende to be eased of my care in that by the last I hearde that the goute had not yet perfectly left you God for his mercie sende me shortly good tydinges The letters which lately we haue had out of England putteth vs in hope that wee be deliuered of the Prince of Orenge sith the 14. day after his hurt as they write thence there was no more hope of his life and the Q. of Englande was duely aduertized from time to time of the state of his hurt They say moreouer that he hath been grieuously tormented as well with the payne of his wound as also with the payne that he hath bin put to partly by such incitions as the surgions haue made to come to the bottom of the hurt partly by cauteries of towe for stopping of the blood which yet they could not atteyne It is pitie hee died not long since together with a great number of his faction namely S. Aldegonde His death wil bread great alterations as is most like we loke for news of what haue since happened and what course matters haue taken We heare that the duke of Anieow hath sent the P.
