To the Lord Chancellor. 



My honourable Lord, I have been intreated to recommend unto your lord 

 ship the distressed case of the Lady Martin, widow of Sir Richard Martin, 

 deceased, who hath a cause to be heard before your lordship in the Chancery, 

 at your first sitting in the next term, between her and one Archer, and others, 

 upon an ancient statute, due long since unto her husband; which cause, I am 

 informed, hath received three verdicts for her in the common law, a decree in 

 the Exchequer Chamber, and a dismission before your lordship ; which I was 

 the more willing to do, because i have seen a letter of his majesty to the said 

 Sir Richard Martin, acknowledging the good service that he did him in this 

 kingdom, at the time of his majesty s being in Scotland. And therefore I desire 

 your lordship, that you would give her a full and fair hearing of her cause, and 

 a speedy dispatch thereof, her poverty being such, that having nothing to live 

 on but her husband s debts, if her suit long depend, she shall be inforced to 

 lose her cause for want of means to follow it ; wherein I will acknowledge your 

 lordship s favour, and rest your Lordship s faithful friend and servant, 



Whitehall, Jan. 13, 1620. G. BUCKINGHAM. 



To the Lord Chancellor. 



My honourable Lord, Understanding that there hath been a long and 

 tedious suit depending in the Chancery between Robert D Oyley and his wife, 

 plaintiffs, and Leonard Lovace, defendant ; which cause hath been heretofore 

 ended by award, but is now revived again, and was, in Michaelmas term last, 

 fully heard before your lordship ; at which hearing your lordship did not give 

 your opinion thereof, but were pleased to defer it, until breviats were delivered 

 on both sides ; which, as I am informed, hath been done accordingly : now my 

 desire unto your lordship is, that you will be pleased to take some time, as 

 speedily as your lordship may, to give your opinion thereof, and so make a final 

 end, as your lordship shall find the same in equity to deserve. For which I 

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

 Windsor, May 18, 1620. 



To the Lord Chancellor. 



My honourable Lord, His majesty having made a reference of business to 

 your lordship, concerning Sir Robert Douglas and Mr. David Ramsey, two of 

 his highness s servants, whom he loveth, and whom. I wish very well unto ; I 

 have thought fit to desire you to shew them all the favour your lordship may 

 therein ; which I will acknowledge, and ever rest 



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



The reference comes in the name of my brother Christopher, because they 

 thought it would succeed the better ; but the prince wisheth well to it.

To the Lord Chancellor. 



My honourable Lord, There is a business in your lordship s hands, with 

 which Sir Robert Lloyd did acquaint your lordship ; whereof the prince hath 

 demanded of me what account is given. And because I cannot inform his 

 highness of any proceeding therein, I desire your lordship to use all expedition 

 that may be in making your answer to me, that I may give his highness some 

 satisfaction, who is very desirous thereof. And so I rest 



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