"The Survey of Cornwall And an epistle concerning the excellencies of the English tongue"


There are also letters, directed to Sir Iohn Arundell of Trerice,
from the Kings Counsell, by some of which it it appeareth, that hee
was Viceadmirall of the Kings [Ed. 6.] shippes, in the West seas,
and by others, that hee had the goods and lands of certaine Rebels,
giuen him, for his good seruice against them.
The Queene wrote to Sir Iohn Arundell of Trerice, [1. Mar] praying
and requiring him, that hee, with his friends and neighbours,
should see the Prince of Spaine most honourably entertained, if he
fortuned to land in Cornwall.
[148]
[2. Mar.] Shee wrote to him (being then Sherife of Cornwall) touching
the election of the Knights of the shire, and the Burgesses for
the Parliament.
[2. & 3.] Shee likewise wrote to him, that (notwithstanding
[P. & M.] the instructions to the Iustices) hee should muster,
and furnish his seruants, tenants, and others, vnder his rule
and offices, with his friends, for the defence, and quieting of
the Countrie, withstanding of enemies, and any other imployment,
as also to certifie, what force of horse and foote he could arme.
