I return you my thanks for yours of
the 4th VS: I still expect the 12 passe
ports for the Spanish Ships going
out: I must desire you to giue my
humble service to m~ Warre acknow
ledging his letter, and letting him
know that there being no Passeports
here signed by K: Philip I can not
gratify him as I would haue other
wise done: but neither is there
any occasion for such passeport
the 6 Weeks in the Mediterrean
being elapsed, and there being
no fear (in case they were not)
from any Spaniard: for Ships
haue they none of bulk enough
to take any thing that can go
from Leghorne to the Levant
I giue you a good deal of trouble
in the inclosed to our Master my
Lord Dartmouth, and haue sent
you Passeports satis superque
I am very truly
Sr
your most obt
humble SertMPrior.
Pray let the inclosed to my Lord Trear
be sent to him immediately
