violence on the ground hurting only the hindermost part of his head by what possibility we cannot conceive unless the motion of the Coach did turn him round in the fall The force of the concussion took from him for some hour or thereabouts the use of his voice and sense which are now well restored only there yet remaineth in his left arm a kind of Paralitical stupefaction and his right eye-lid is all black with some knock that he took in the agitation of the Coach which peradventure may have been the motive to make him leap out But these external evils do not so much trouble us as an inward pungent and pulsatory ach withing the skull somewhat lower then the place of his hurt which hath continued more or less since his fall notwithstanding twice letting blood and some nights of good rest and shaving of his head for the better transpiration which we doubt the more because it cometh sine ratione his hurt being only in the fles●…y part and very sleight without fracture of the skull without inflammation without any Feaver and all the principal faculties as memory discourse imagination untainted The King hath in this time much consolated us both with sending unto him and with expressing publickly a gracious feeling of his case but we must fetch our true comforts from him who is Lord of the whole and so I leave it Since my last unto you I am sure you hear how Sir Robert Mansfield hath been twice or thrice convented before the Lords and committed to the Marshalsie partly for having consulted with Mr. Whitlock the Lawyer about the validity of a Commission drawn for a re-search into the Office of the Admiralty whereof himself is an Accomptant and partly for denying to reveal the name of the said Lawyer his Friend who before had been committed to the Fleet for another case much of the same nature The point toucheth a limb of the Kings Prerogative and immediate Authority Sir Robert Mansfield's Answers by report had as much of the Philosopher or of the Hermite as of the Souldier or Courtier professing openly his little care of this World or of his own Fortunes in it and divers other phrases of that complexion Sir Thomas Overbury is still where he was and as he was without any alteration The Viscount Rochester yet no way sinking in the point of favour which are two strange consistents Sir R. Drury runneth at the Ring corbeteth his Horse before the Kings window haunteth my Lord of Rochesters Chamber even when himself is not there and in secret divideth his observances between him and the House of Suffolk And all this they say to be Embassador at Bruxels So as super uta materia I see appetites are not all of a kind Some go to the Tower for the avoiding of that which another doth languish to obtain I will end with my Paper and by the next Carrier either tell you precisely when I shall see you or prevent the telling of it And so our sweet Saviour bless you and my dear Niece H. WOTTON SIR BY the next Carrier for yet I must say so again you shall hear when this Embassador will be gone The mean while let me entertain you with the inclosed Paper which the Duke of Savoy hath published in his own defence joyning together the Sword and Reason Sir Robert Mansfield is still in restraint Sir Thomas Overbury not only out of liberty as he was but almost now out of Discourse We have lately started at a dispatch from Ireland importing a variance there about the choice of a Speaker in the summoned Parliament which came to so sharp a point that the Deputy was fain to fetch wisdome from hence Sure it is that the humours of that Kingdome are very hovering and much awaked with an apprehension taken that we mean to fetter them with Laws of their own making which in t●…th were an ingenious strain of State My 〈◊〉 and Lady are stollen down into Kent for a few dayes to take in some fresh air They go not this next Progress if my Brother can get leave of the King to see his Grand-children where he intends to spend some fortnight and the rest of the time between Boughton and Canterbury A Match treated and managed to a fair probability between my Lord Cook 's Heir and the second Daughter of Sir Arthur Throckmorton is suddenly broken the said Lord Cook having underhand entertained discourse about the Daughter of the late Sir Thomas Bartlet who in defect of her Brother shall be Heir of that Name I have nothing more to say and therefore God keep you and my sweet Neice in his continual love Your poor Uncle faithfull Friend and willing Servant H. WOTTON Albertus God be thanked groweth better and better and in the midst of his own pains hath remembred those in Suffolk whom we both so much honour SIR IN my last I told you that the Ambassador of Savoy was to meet the Queen at Windsor which pains she hath spared him by her own coming yesternight to Greenwich where I think she will settle her self a day or two before she admit him Now seeing the time of the Commencement at Cambridge so near as it is and being able to determine of this Ambassadors departure within that space I have resolved to take those Philosophical exercises in my way to you hoping in the mean time to see Albertus admitted by Oath to a Clarkship of the Council or at least to the next vacancy for he is now strong enough again to swear Sir Robert Mansfield and Mr. Whitlock were on Saturday last called to a very honourable hearing in the Queens Presence Chamber at Whitehall before the Lords of the Council with intervention of my Lord Cook the Lord chief Baron of the Exchequer and Master of the Rolls the Lord chief Justice being kept at home with some infirmity There the Attorny and Sollicitor first undertook Mr. Whitlock and the Recorder as the Kings Sergeant Sir Robert Mansfield charging the one as a Counsellor the other as a questioner in matters of the Kings Prerogative and Soveraignty upon occasion of a Commission intended for a research into the administration of the Admiralty against vvhich the said Sir Robert Mansfield being himself so principal an Officer therein had sought some provision of advice and This vvas the summe of the charge vvhich vvas diversly amplified Whitlock in his answer spake more confusedly then vvas expected from a Lawyer and the Knight more temperately then vvas expected from a Souldier There vvas likewise some difference noted not only in the manner but in the substance between them For Whitlock ended his speech vvith an absolute confession of his own offence and vvith a promise of imploying himself hereafter in defence of the Kings prerogative Sir Robert Mansfield on the other side laboured to distinguish between the errour of his acts and the integrity of his zeal and affection towards the King his Master protesting he should hold

SIR I Was glad for all the private in a late Letter from you and sorry for the publick both forraign and inward But I like Plato's counsel vvell In adversities to compress murmur For our Providence saith he is too short to judge vvhether there may not lye under the outside of an apparent evil some in-imaginable good The last Philosophy is Voluntas tua fiat Domine Upon hearing some good vvhile since of the misadventures in the Palatine House his loss of Meppen before he had it the defeat of his Troops as soon as he had gathered them the taking of his Brother c. I fell upon a conceit that perchance these unpleasant things might call over Sir R. Cave the Prince being destitute of counsel and of proper Instruments of Action for they say Ferentz is likewise prisoner And so there vvould be room here for your Imployment vvhich I vvould vvish you to press extreamly But of this more in my next I now send you an Hogshead of more then Soror Tonantis and very vvillingly though so long after March you take us Sul basso But one thing I must tell you that for your Wives Splenetique Infirmity there is nothing worse in the world then either strong or stale Beer Now that we have you out of the Streights and in the Ocean as you call it both of novelties as well as of other things Matthew Saye shall have order to call upon you at least once a week And for the present I leave you in his Love that never faileth remaining Your very truly affectionate HENRY WOTTON From the Colledge this Thursday morning 1638. SIR BEtween you and me Complemental Letters are as needless and improper as I hope the provisions of Armour in the Tower will be As for Novelties of State you are in the Center and we rural Wights in the Circumference and Skirts entertained with nothing but some cold icesickles and droppings from you Londoners Imagine us therefore to stand gaping for the return of the Lord Marquess In the mean while I should be glad to know in what quality my Nephew Colonel Morton is imployed towards the North for I hear of one Serjeant Major Thelwel in more noise And so intending as soon as it can be ready to entertain you with a strange Collar of Brawn I rest Ever your own HENRY WOTTON This Epiphany 1638.
