A05269	The copie of a letter sent out of England to Don Bernardin Mendoza ambassadour in France for the King of Spaine declaring the state of England, contrary to the opinion of Don Bernardin, and of all his partizans Spaniardes and others. This letter, although it was sent to Don Bernardin Mendoza, yet, by good hap, the copies therof aswell in English as in French, were found in the chamber of one Richard Leigh a seminarie priest, who was lately executed for high treason committed in the time that the Spanish Armada was on the seas. Whereunto are adioyned certaine late aduertisements, concerning the losses and distresses happened to the Spanish nauie, aswell in fight with the English nauie in the narrow seas of England, as also by tempests, and contrarie winds, vpon the west, and north coasts of Ireland, in their returne from the northerne isles beyond Scotland.	Burghley, William Cecil, Baron, 1520-1598.; Leigh, Richard, 1561?-1588, attributed name.; Mendoza, Bernardino de, 1540 or 41-1604.	1588 (1588)	STC 15413; ESTC S108408	47,041	60

and_o on_o foot_n with_o field_n ordinance_n victual_n pioner_n and_o carriage_n and_o all_o those_o govern_v by_o the_o principal_a noble_a man_n of_o the_o country_n and_o reduce_v under_o captain_n of_o knowledge_n and_o one_o thing_n i_o hear_v of_o that_o be_v very_o politic_o order_v and_o execute_v at_o this_o time_n as_o of_o many_o late_a year_n be_v not_o use_v that_o as_o the_o leader_n

hear_v speak_v may_v be_v marvel_v at_o but_o it_o be_v avow_a to_o i_o for_o a_o truth_n that_o one_o gentleman_n in_o kent_n have_v a_o band_n of_o one_o hundred_o &_o fifty_o footman_n soldier_n which_o be_v worth_a in_o good_n above_o one_o hundred_o &_o fifty_o thousand_o pound_n sterling_a beside_o their_o land_n such_o man_n will_v fight_v stout_o before_o they_o will_v have_v lose_v

to_o have_v cause_n to_o write_v in_o this_o sort_n because_o you_o may_v see_v how_o heretofore_o you_o have_v be_v deceive_v with_o advertisement_n of_o many_o which_o have_v no_o proof_n to_o know_v the_o truth_n thereof_o and_o so_o i_o confess_v myself_o in_o some_o thing_n to_o have_v err_v namely_o in_o imagine_v that_o whensoever_o any_o foreign_a power_n shall_v be_v see_v ready_a to_o land_n in_o any_o part_n of_o this_o realm_n there_o will_v have_v be_v find_v but_o a_o small_a number_n resolute_a to_o withstand_v the_o same_o or_o to_o defend_v the_o queen_n but_o that_o the_o same_o will_v have_v be_v very_o unable_a for_o the_o war_n untrained_a raw_a and_o ignorant_a in_o all_o warlike_a action_n without_o sufficient_a armour_n and_o weapon_n and_o that_o also_o the_o noble_a man_n and_o gentleman_n that_o be_v in_o this_o realm_n of_o our_o religion_n whereof_o you_o know_v we_o make_v account_v when_o you_o be_v here_o in_o england_n of_o very_a many_o england_n although_o many_o of_o they_o be_v dead_a since_o that_o time_n but_o at_o this_o time_n there_o be_v not_o so_o many_o ten_o as_o we_o account_v hundred_o who_o we_o think_v will_v have_v

but_o now_o such_o be_v our_o calamity_n that_o it_o have_v please_v god_n as_o i_o think_v for_o our_o sin_n or_o else_o for_o confound_v of_o our_o bold_a opinion_n and_o presumption_n of_o our_o

as_o they_o all_o appear_v to_o be_v ready_a to_o fight_v against_o all_o stranger_n as_o it_o be_v with_o one_o heart_n and_o one_o body_n and_o though_o some_o few_o principal_a gentleman_n of_o who_o heretofore_o you_o have_v have_v the_o name_n in_o such_o catalogue_n of_o catholic_n as_o you_o have_v be_v acquaint_v withal_o werelate_o upon_o the_o report_n of_o the_o come_n out_o of_o

the_o cause_n of_o the_o stay_n of_o these_o gentleman_n at_o elie_n notwithstanding_o their_o offer_n of_o their_o service_n to_o the_o queen_n and_o so_o they_o do_v remain_v in_o the_o bishop_n
