Indorsed Received Oct. 14, 1618. G. BUCKINGHAM. 



To the Lord Chancellor. 



My honourable Lord, Whereas there is a cause depending in the court of 

 Chancery between one Mr. Francis Foliambe and Francis Hornsby, the which 

 already hath received a decree, and is now to have another hearing before your 

 self ; I have thought fit to desire you to shew so much favour therein, seeing it 

 concerns the gentleman s whole estate, as to make a full arbitration and final 

 end, either by taking the pains in ending it yourself, or preferring it to some 

 other, whom your lordship shall think fit : which I shall acknowledge as a 



courtesy from your lordship, and ever rest 

 Your Lordship 



faithful friend and servant, G. BUCKINGHAM. 

 Hinchingbroke, Oct. 22, 1618. 



To the Lord Chancellor. 



My honourable Lord, Having formerly moved your lordship in the business 

 of this bearer, Mr. Wyche, of whom, as I understand, your lordship hath had a 

 special care to do him favour, according to the equity of his cause ; now seeing, 

 that the cause is shortly to be heard, I have thought fit to continue my recom 

 mendation of the business unto you, desiring your lordship to shew what favour 

 you lawfully may unto Mr. Wyche, according as the justness of the cause shall 

 require ; which I will acknowledge as a courtesy from your lordship, and ever 

 rest your Lordship s faithful friend and servant, G. BUCKINGHAM. 



Newmarket, Nov. 18, 1618. 



To the Lord Chancellor. 



My honourable Lord, 1 having understood by Dr. Steward, that your lord 

 ship hath made a decree against him in the Chancery, which he thinks very hard 

 for him to perform ; although I know it is unusual to your lordship to make 

 any alterations, when things are so far past ; yet in regard I owe him a good 

 turn, which I know not how to perform but this way, I desire your lordship, if 

 there be any place left for mitigation, your lordship would shew him what favour 

 you may, for my sake, in his desires, which I shall be ready to acknowledge as 

 a great courtesy done unto myself, and will ever rest 



Your Lordship s faithful friend and servant, G. BUCKINGHAM. 

 Newmarket, Dec. 2, 1618. 



To the Lord Chancellor. 



My honourable Lord, I have written a letter unto your lordship, which will 

 be delivered unto you in behalf of Dr. Steward ; and besides, have thought fit 

 to use all freedom with you in that, as in other things ; and therefore have 

 thought fit to tell you, that he being a man of very good reputation, and a stout 

 man, that will not yield to any thing, wherein he conceiveth any hard course 

 against him, I should be sorry he should make any complaint against you. And 

 therefore, if you can advise of any course, how you may be eased of that 

 burden, and freed from his complaint, without shew of any fear of him, or any 

 thing he can say, I will be ready to join with you for the accomplishment 

 thereof: and so desiring you to excuse the long stay of your man, I rest 



Your Lordship s faithful friend and servant, G. BUCKINGHAM. 

 From Newmarket, Dec. 3, 1618. 



To the Lord Chancellor. 



My honourable Lord, I thank your lordship for the favour, which I under 

 stand Sir Francis Englefyld hath received from your lordship upon my last 

 letter, whereunto I desire your lordship to add this one favour more (which is 

 the same that I understand your lordship granted him at Christmas last) to give 

 him liberly for the space of a fortnight, to follow his business in his own person ;
