9. Letter from the Earl of Strafford to the Marquis of Hamilton.[276]

May it please your Lordship,

Hitherto I judged it not fit to endanger your Lordship by any Intelligence betwixt us, which might have turned much to your prejudice, in a time when the World is in so much mis-understanding of me; but now be your Lordship pleased, to admit me to resort to your noble Expressions and former Friendship, that I may carry forth of the Court with me the belief and tokens of it.

It is told me, that the Lords are inclinable to preserve my Life and Family, for which their generous Compassions, the great God of Mercy will reward them: and surely should I die upon this Evidence, I had much rather be the Sufferer than the Judge.
