To the most Illustrious Knight, Sir Thomas Smith, the most prudent Gouernour of the East-Indy Company, eternall felicity in the Lord.
Right Worshipfull,
IN many respects to be reuerenced by me. May it please your Worship to pardon my boldnesse in visiting you with this rude Epistle, to the end that I may shew my thankefulnesse towards you for your great and many benefits bestowed vpon me: As soone as God shal enable me to make a greater progresse in the Latine tongue, you may expect a longer; yea, perhaps a more elegant and e∣loquent Letter. In the interim I doubt not but your Worship (in regard of your Clemencie to∣wards me) will accept in good part these witnesses of a thankefull mind. The Almightie and all pow∣erfull God preserue you long in health, that you may be (as you are) a grace and ornament to the Companie of Marchants, that you may attaine to high Honour here on earth, and most ample glorie hereafter in Heauen: Farewell.
From your Royall Iames, this 24. of April 1620.
A Fauorite of your Illustrious dignity. Peter Pope.
