DERBYSHIRE MUSTERS. 35 



onlie such as can shewe vnto yo' L. at this tyme some speciall 

 Ires wherin they are also pticulerly charged for horse, not 

 doubtinge but some fewe may be founde by yo' L. that both 

 are verie hable w"'out hinderance at all vnto them, & will 

 be for her Ma" service & their owne Interest in the comon 

 cause, most readie to declare the measure of their affection 

 in the tyme when they pceaue so greate a necessitie, And for- 

 asmuch as the trooble will be lesse & the expedicon of the 

 service more by yeeldinge money to provide & furnish the 

 horses than by sendinge the bodies of the horses themselves, 

 w""'' may (by many accidents in the carriage) prove worse at 

 the place of Rendezvous than they weare before & so disgrace 

 the senders ; her Ma" pleasure therfore is that yo' Lo : shall 

 take order for so much money to be levied onlie amongst psons 

 of such sort & qualitie as is before mencioned as may serve for 

 the providinge & furnishing of the said fower horses after the 

 rate of thirtie pounds a horse & cause the same to be sent vp 

 hither to the Treasurer of her Ma"^ Chamber by the last of this 

 instant moneth, wherin her Ma''" doth require at yo' Lo : hands, 

 & charges you vppon the regard you ought to haue of yo' owne 

 conscience & of yo' dutifull allegeance to her highnes, to 

 proceede vprightlie w"'out anie parciallitie in the layinge of this 

 charge wheare it may be least burthensome theare being nothinge 

 more greevous to her mynde at any tyme then to heare as often 

 shee doth that many of thease contribucons are layed vppon 

 thoase that are far lesse hable than thoase that are spared, of 

 w"'' we assure yo"^ L : her Ma''"" hath by her owne Ires enioyned 

 vs above all things to enquire and informe her vppon o' duties 

 towards her. Therfore not doubting but yo' Lo : will vse 

 extraorenarie care to see this service pformed accordinge to 

 this direction, we wish yo' L : hartelie farewell, from the Court 

 at Richmond the ix"' of January 1599.
