day of this moneth of April, by which we
perceyue the goodly, valiant, and ieopardous enterprise,
it hath pleased God of late to send you, by the taking
of Duncane Camel & other Scots on the sea; of which
enterprise we haue made relation vnto the Kings Highnesse,
who is not a little ioyous and glad, to heare of the same,
and hath required vs instantly in his name, to giue you
thanks for your said valiant courage, and bolde enterprise
in the premises: and by these our letters, for the same
your so doing, we doe not onely thanke you in our most
effectuall wise, but also promise you, that during our
life, wee will bee glad to aduaunce you to any preferment
we can. And ouer this, you shall vnderstand, our said
Soueraigne Lords pleasure is, that you shall come and
repaire to his Highnes, with diligence in your owne
person, bringing with you the said Captiue, and the
Master of the Scottish ship; at which time, you shall
not onely be sure of his especiall thanks by mouth, & to
know his further pleasure therein, but also of vs to
further any your reasonable pursuits vnto his Highnes,
or any other, during our life, to the best of our power,
accordingly.
