Pembroke in the matter of a bond. "I shall send you the masks
and other things you desyred with Mr Villiers who is to part from
Paris within feaue dayes. I feare Paris will be too hot for me to
stey, the King of France being within 7 myles with an army of
12000 and the Prince of Condy with his of 13000 at the same
distance, the Parisiens strongly divyded. I resolve, if you will
approve of it, to goe to the Spa with two patients in Flanders, who
invites me to that journey, having receaved much benefit by
my counsel the last year. The tyme will be the begining of June,
the place is cheape and pleasing, and I shall be out of the noyse
and trouble of a warr which is lyk to be long and cruell in this
kingdom. England is now the place of rest and quiet, and is lyk
