The Lord Digby's Letter to his Servant Walsingham.

Walsingham,

DEliver the inclosed unsuperscribed unto the Noble person to whom I have former∣ly addrest them. I must not conclude without telling you, That I believe the accident here of my Lord Glamorgan and my party in his pro∣secution, will at first have allayed me much with your friends 83. 76. 29. 41. 310. 10.the Babylonians 24. 14. 22. 39. 55. 40. 20. 16. 22. 50. 10. 23. But when matters shall be rightly understood, you may assure them, That if His Majesties service had not obliged me to it, yet in relation to their preservation, I ought to have done it, and with∣out it, it would have been impossible either for the King to favour them, or me to serve them, so far as a good and firm Protestant may do, within which bounds, they contributing roundly & heartily to my Masters service, shal very boldly appear in the procuring them all just favours, both here and in England. As for the Peace of this Kingdom, I make no questi∣on but shall suddenly be brought to a happy conclusion; and my Lord Glamorgan not dis∣abled by any thing, that is done, to serve the King in what he hath means to do.

Dublin, 17 Jan.

Digby.

FINIS.
