1607.] PASSING EVENTS. 143 



rally, as would stodye a good architector to describe : 

 Only, therefore, I will saye whas in p'ticular I heard 

 (to use their owne phrase) one of them creak ; that 

 Worsopp gallerye was but a garrat in respect of the 

 gallerye that would there be. 



" Nowe for my owne ^'ticular, because yt pleaseth 

 yo'' Lo? to troble yo"" selfe with a care & well-wishing of 

 me. Howe my L. of Rutland doth com'and, deruit, 

 edificat, inutat quadrata rotundis, at Ansley,* as he is 

 Liefetenant of the forrest, so lykewise playing the 

 Lord over those poore forresters, my tenants, with 

 which justly he hath no culler to clayme to have to 

 doe, I shold too much troble yo'' Lo^ with yf I shold 

 wryte. This only in p'ticular : His Lo^ hath taken 

 occasion to bye wood of myne, that ys truly & playnly 

 myne as that little monye I have in my purse, of 

 another bodye ; so that I knowe not what I shuld doe, 

 for I cannot followe both the Court, my place, & the 

 com'on Pleas ; & yet a dogg cannot endure to be 

 troden on, much less a man, & more less I ; and I 

 thinke my impatience the more, by so much as I want 

 meanes, advyse, & ^'tection, of crying quittance, or, at 

 least, of defending myselfe, my greatest, best, & only 

 (and that suffitient, yf yt please y'' Lo'' still to continue 

 that goodness) supportar & comphort in these afflic- 

 tions being yo"" good Lo^'" great favor, w""" I beseech 

 may ever buyld on as ever my labour shalbe to deserve.
