The Earl of Salisbury to Viscount Cranborne |
|
1612, May 8. |
Will. Your letter shows me your love and duty which
can draw no more from me than my prayers to God for you, that you
may while you live serve Him and fear Him. You do well to observe my
direction, for your love in coming would add but trouble, except it could
find me amended in some proportion, whereof it is a vanity for any man
to expect to see anything if his eye look upon me before I have made up
twelve days trial here counting from my first going in, which you must
reckon to be from Tuesday at 3 of the clock; since which time I have
been thrice, that is to say Tuesday and Thursday after dinner, being
driven away on Wednesday morning by the wind, which whenever it
rises drives all men from all the baths in the town. This day [Friday]
I go in again, for I desire to neglect no time and the sun shines. I have no
prejudice by sweating, for I sit no higher than the navel. I am already
warmed from that part downward, but the swelling in the thighs, in the
knees and the legs has yet small vent, which is it I do expect, and is at
the least prepared by this warmth. But if that be all I will try another
more warm about Tuesday next, and then within four days more my
letters to my Lord Chamberlain shall show you what you are like to find
if you come down. I know not what to add but to confirm what I
resolved toward God and the world when I came down, and now to
require you to let my Lord Chamberlain see this because it contains
as much as I can say to his Lordship and more than was needful to you
from, though I am your affectionate father, R. Salisbury. Bath, this 8th
of May. |
|
P.S. I pray you tell my Lord Chamberlain that I have received
yesterday morning his packet bearing date the 6th of May, which gives
me good satisfaction for the business it concerns, that doubt only
excepted which my Lord touches, though I see no defence for it.
Addressed in the same hand: 'To my Lo. Chamberlain, once intended to
Will Cranborne.' Signed 1½ pp. (129 106) |

Petition |
|
[Before May 24, 1612]. |
The tenants of his Majesty's tenements of
Bisley, co. Gloucester to the Earl of Salisbury, High Steward of her
Majesty's jointure of that manor. |
|
Certain 'dey' (?dye] houses have been built near and upon the King's
custom woods, to the utter destruction of the woods and undoing of

[Before May 24, 1612]. |
Sir Thomas Cave and Sir Alexander Cave,
lords of the manor of Buckminster and Sewstern, co. Leicester, and
certain tenants and inhabitants of those towns, desire to exchange
certain of their respective lands. The lords' lands being held in capite,
the tenants will, if they take them in exchange, endanger the whole of
their lands with that tenure. It is prayed therefore that tenants taking
such lands may hold by the same tenure they held before the exchange;
and in recompense the lords will acknowledge a tenure in capite of other
lands now held in socage. Undated
Note by Salisbury: that, for the quieting of controversies between
lords and tenants, he does not think this inconvenient, provided that
direction be given to the King's learned counsel to see the offers
performed.

the house of the Spanish Ambassador, but opened before it came to her
hands. It contains something necessary for you to know, which no
man by the reading thereof would understand. For this and other
matters I crave your leisure. When your pleasure is, I shall attend.

Farmers of the Customs to the Privy Council |
|
[Before May 24, 1612]. |
Their answer to the opinion of the Judges,
who say they have no patent in being, in respect of errors in the grant.
The objections are: (1) that the agreement was to give 28,6001 a year in
advance, and it is doubted whether the grant be void or not if the
'medium' should be miscast; to which they reply that the miscasting, if
any, is not by them but by the King's officers, and though the surplus
may be recovered by law, yet it cannot make void the grant: (2) that the
whole rent should have been paid into the King's Receipt. If paid to
other men, though they bring a tally for it, yet it is doubtful whether
the grant be not forfeited. The reply is that the tally is a matter of
record, and it cannot be denied that the money was paid to the King's
use: (3) that the rent should have been paid half yearly beforehand. In
reply they argue that the lease is not void but only voidable, and if the
King accepts his rent afterwards he can not make the lease void. |
|
They pray that the King will not take advantage of any strict point of
law to fall out against them, but suffer them to enjoy the grant as
heretofore. Undated

My Lords. Whereas it seems there has been

least degree, I do hereby protest unto your Lordships, the Lord
Treasurer, the Lord Privy Seal, the Lord Chamberlain, the Earl of
Worcester, for your Lordships' satisfaction in particular, for the world
in general, for clearing her in honour and for the truth's sake, that there
was never any such thing attempted or intended by me; and therefore if

fall, the square tower thereof being rent from the bottom to the top.
Complain also that they receive no help from the out tenants of the

Suggestions for improving his Majesty's
forests, parks, chases and wastes. Speaks of the 'spawn and fry of
beggars and vagabonds' who are likely to increase in the above places,
making them the very nurseries of 'idleness, athisme and beggary'; and
recommends that they be reduced to a civil and religious course of life
by making a more full plantation of men of better worth and carriage,
by limiting grounds whereon to erect farms. This kingdom so fast
increases with people that many good men are forced with their families
to seek, and can hardly find, place to inhabit; and the want of tillable
lands is observed to be the cause of the often dearth of corn. Undated

Your letter being brought when I was on
sleep, and my men less willing to wake me than I wish, I perused it not
till this morning, and therefore could not send it back with that expedition which the quality of the dispatch calls for. The letter is written very
justly and suitably to the state of the cause on both sides, as it is ever
like it will be, coming out of a man's hand that is master of his own art;
and therefore I return it in mood and figure as it came, wishing the parts
may be as well performed as they are prescribed. Undated.

Piracy |
|
[Before May 24, 1612]. |
'Memoires en l'audience avec sa Majesté.' |
|
Complains that the Dutch besiege two ships of the Archduke's in the
ports of Great Britain, in spite of the capitulations of the peace which
provide free entrance and departure to and from the ports. [Marginal
note by Salisbury: 'None'.] |
|
Complains of the depredations of the corsairs upon the subjects of the
Roi Monseigneur, according to the contents of a memoir enclosed.
Under pretence of the peace and of traffic, they enter his ports, and on
leaving capture what they can. The English have by such depredations
done more damage since the conclusion of the peace than before in time
of war. Even the Dutch do not do so much. [Marginal note by Salisbury:
'If proof be made of this the delinquents shall receive the pains due to
pirates.'] |
|
Of the menaces of many English that they will break the peace, and
that it is against the wish of the King of Great Britain. [Marginal note by
Salisbury: 'These things proved shall be censured as high contempts.'] |
|
To show to the King the letter of Don Luis Fajardo and give him a
copy of it, so that he may see what he writes on this matter; and the
orders that the Roi Monseigneur has given, so that the English may be
well treated and the peace observed. |
|
In case order is not given to suppress these depradations, there will be
no benefit from the peace, and no merchant will be able to trade.
[Marginal note by Salisbury: 'If the conditions of treaty be broken in
any degree, the offenders shall be punished, and if there be any other
way to be taken to make the fruits of peace more effectual, there shall be
no reasonable course denied.'] |
|
That Englishmen for the purpose of piracy arm ships in the name of
Dutchmen, so that they may carry letters of marque of Count Maurice:
as has been seen in the case of the pirates in prison, who had taken the
caravel St. Antonio, which has been brought to this river of London.
Proposed remedies. [Marginal note by Salisbury: 'The bringing up of the
ship is in favour of the Spaniard.'] |
|
Complaint of the want of diligence of the officers of the ports: it being
notorious that many pirates have discharged prizes in divers ports
without being arrested. Quotes the case of the St. Antonio. [Marginal
note by Salisbury: 'There is order given in general, and if it be broken in
particular by any, upon complaint he shall be punished, but if this
were no pirate to his Majesty, then those offices of neutrality cannot be
challenged.'] |
|
That the Dutch captain, now in prison, who took the St. Antonio, not
only speaks badly of the Spanish nation and of the peace, but also
shows little respect to the King of Great Britain. [Marginal note by
Salisbury: 'This being proved shall be punished.'] Undated

have the carriage of a packet for his better passage. The man is very
honest and trusty, and has lived for his conscience so long in England

The Earl of Shrewsbury to Lord [? Salisbury] |
|
[Before May 24, 1612]. |
You are ready to censure a poor man too
severely for a small fault. I find it true that at some time heretofore
some of my servants have been to blame not to let me know of his
coming hither to give me notice of your pleasures; but for the day before
yesterday I perceive he gave notice to a barber in the street, who he
thought had served me still, as he had done long, until he was married
here in London. But lay not this nor anything more to his charge, but
remit it as freely as if I had never spoken any word against him, for I
take him for a very honest fellow, and should love myself the worse if
through me he should be any way prejudiced. If you will tell the poor
man so much, I shall heartily thank you. I thank you for these enclosed
letters, the contents whereof I am very glad of. I am charged to return
her most respectful thanks to you for your remembrance of her.
