highnes bountie sent direction to the Lo: Deputy of this realm to passe 
unto me her Ma* graciouse pardon, yett the same was staied from me 
untyll the xxviii of Maye last, at w™ tyme before I could receive my 
pardon, I was fayne to enter into recognizances of X™™, (£10,000) that 
neither my self nor eny other to my use shall make tytle, challenge, or 
entrye to eny dower jointo, or thirds of eny parte of my late husbands 
lands. Andalso I was fayne to fynd suerties and enter in other bands, 
thatt neither myself nor eny of my five comfortles children, shall nott 
departe this realme, by meane of w™ bands I can notte enjoy my thirds 
or jointo’, neither can I obtayne licens to go into England to be a peti- 
tioner to her Ma‘* for the same. So, as I and my children have livid in 
suche calamitie thattif my Lo: Deputie had nott taken pittie of me and 
them in relevinge us owtte of his Lops kitchin we might have starvid 
w' honger: for in my necessitie all my kinsmen and frends here have 
utterly forsaken me. Andsinc my Lo: Deputy w™ drewe his liberalitie 
from me, I and my children have tasted of so moche myserie thatt I 
protest unto yo" honno™ I knowe no waye howe to presarve me and them 
from perishing by famyne, except her Ma‘ do nott relieve us. For 
my relief owtte of this pouertie I entred a supplicacon to my Lo: De- 
putie who inclosed the same w*"in a Ire of his Lordships directed to the 
most honnorable Ils of the Counsell referringe the same to be considered 
of by their honnors. Therefore I most humbly beseche yo" ho: Lo: (for 
God’s cause,) to take compassion of my distressed case, and to be a 
meane, that like as it hath pleased her higness to spare my lief, so it 
may likewise please her excellency of her accustomed clemency to send 
direction to my Lo: Deputie to lett me to enjoye my thirds and jointo* 
the w‘! althoughe at this present it be in wast and shall growe of long 
tyme butt to small comoditie, yett it may be a great releif unto me and 
my poore children, as know™ God, whome I beseche longe to preserve yo" 
honno’ in allfelicitie. From Kylynely the iiii™ of Septembre, 1585. 
Yo™ ho: Lo: most humbly to comand,
