| The King to Lord Treasurer Salisbury, Master of the Court of Wards | |
| 1611, October 31. |
It has been so usual a course for Kings and Princes
of this realm to make use of their subjects' good affections by borrowing
some such competent sums of persons able to lend, as might supply
those present occasions for public service which cannot attend that
length of time wherein it might be raised by contribution from the generality of our subjects; as we have not only present occasion to make
the like trial by borrowing from some private gentlemen and others,
but also of your endeavours in furtherance of the service, that is to say,
in taking some course either out of your own knowledge and experience
or by any other means you like best, to make collection of as many
persons' names that are any way belonging or depending on our Court
of Wards and Liveries as may be of ability to furnish us with several
sums at this time, and thereof to return unto our Privy Council at the
least within twenty days after the receipt of these our letters both the
names of the persons, their dwellings and what sums you think they
may spare; that thereupon we may direct our privy seals unto them
according to the form enclosed. And because we could be glad to make it
appear (if any of those persons have formerly lent, though repaid again)
how well we conceive of their former readiness, yet can we not resolve
to spare them any further at this time than by letting you know that
we mean not to require of any of those so much as they lent by one
third part. By which course of ours, though you may well perceive
how much we desire to procure this without inconvenience to any, which
is intended only for the service of the public, yet must we assure you
that we had not greater cause at any time that now we have, to make
use of your integrity in respect of the election and of your constant
demonstration of diligence and affection to the service. Palace of

To the same effect as the preceding, for a loan from
persons in his lieutenancy, with the following addition: And for your
further instruction in this case, on whose trust we do so much repose,
we wish you to advise herein with your deputy lieutenants as those
from whom we have special cause to promise ourselves all good offices
of duty and affection. To which we must add thus much, that we do
not intend at this time to deal with any nobleman nor with any of those
gentlemen on whom we have conferred the dignity of baronets, neither
are you to deal with any of the clergy, because we have reserved that
direction to the Metropolitans of the several provinces, to proceed only
with some special persons that are known to be men of wealth and
ability in other degree than merely of those livings, which in most
places are far inferior to that maintenance which we could wish them.
