Your loving Friends Signed by the Lo. Arch. B. of Cant. Lo. Cottington Lo. Keeper Lo. Newburge Lo. Treasurer Mr. Comptroller Lo. Privy Seale Mr. Sec. Windebank The English Ambassadors Answere out of Spaine Right Honorable THE Bearer hereof Benjamin Woolnoe was Master of the ship called the Elizabeth which in his voyage towards Virginia was on the eleventh of October 1637 seized on by the Squadra of Nova Espania and brought to Cades with all her lading and passengers For restitution of which ship and for satisfaction for the losses and damages it seeemes my Lord Aston in the time of his service in this Court used all fit diligences the effect whereof was a promise that the ship and goods deposited at Cadiz should be forthwith restored But in the execution thereof were interposed some delayes which continued untill the Master and his Company resolved on returning to their Country and so nothing was executed at that time nor before my Lord Aston returned for England Whereupon the Master and the parties interressed in the said ship and goods petitioned his Matie and the Board for some course to be taken for their satisfaction and accordingly the Lords having consulted with my Lord Aston and with Sir Honry Martin Judge of the Admiralty were pleased to direct unto me their Lordships letter bearing date the last day of April 1639. which came to my hands on the 10 20 of August of the same yeare Commanding me to use all due meanes for the obteining full and speedy satisfaction for the said losse And in case the same should be deteined or that such delaies should be used therein as might be construed or deemed a deniall then to represent the same in expresse termes to the Board In humble obedience to which Order I have from the said 10 20 of August spared no diligence to the effect above mentioned having spoken to the King and delivered him a paper conteining the whole matter as well in manifestation of the disorder as in demand of due satisfaction according to reason and justice And I have severall times spoken to and solicited a Resolution therein with the Conde Duque as a Minister of generall Care and Power and with the Conde de Castrillo President of the Councell of the Judges to whose charge the dispatch of this businesse doth particularly belong And although I have received many faire hopes and promises from all sides and from time to time yet untill the day of the date hereof being the 20 30 of May in the yeare 1640. I have been able to get no Resolution nor are the likely hoods thereof greater now then they were the first day And the Bearer hereof Benjamin Woolnoe being no longer able to suffer the charge of this expensive place hath desired me to give my Certificate according to the present state of this businesse which I have done as above said leaving a construction upon the delay and want of Answere hitherto to your Honours and their Lordships better judgements to whom your Honors may please to give an accompt hereof as you shall thinke fit and I doe humbly desire Humbly representing herewithall that if any other businesse remitted to me by their Lordships or your Honors concerning his Majesties Subjects I have failed to give eyther you or them the Answere that may be expected It is because I can get none which is the ordinary course of this Court where the doing Justice is prejudiciall to the Kings Revenues though in other matters their dispatch be not to be complained of I shall trouble your Honors no more but humbly rest Your Honors most humble servant ARTH.
