And
if to bee free from a dammage, may passe for a commoditie, I can adde,
that the far distance of this Countie from the Court, hath heretofore
afforded it a Supersedeas from takers & Purueyours: for if they should
fetch any prouision from thence, well it might be marked with the
visard of her Highnes prerogatiue, but the same would verie slenderly
turne to the benefit of her Majesties house keeping: for the
foulenesse and vneasinesse of the waies, the little mould of Cornish
cattel, and the great expence of driuing them, would defaulke as much
from the iuft price to the Queene, at the deliuering, as it did from
the owners at the taking. Besides that, her Highnesse shipping should
heerethrough bee defrauded of often supplies, which these parts afford
vnto them.
Vpon which reasons, some of the Purueyours attempts, heretofore
through the suite of the Countrie, the sollicitation of Sir Richard
Gremuile, the credite of the Lord Warden, and the graciousnesse of our
Soueraigae, were reuoked and suppressed, and the same vnder her
Highnesse priuie Seale confirmed.
