Description

Folio 114. Joseph Ronchi to Lord Kingston. Letter mainly about Kingston's letter from Rotterdam and expressing concern that Kingston still went there before he went to the Duke of 'Bouvier' [?Flanders] to make his case known. Ronchi asks that Kingston not venture without the pass long expected and delayed and wonders that he 'did not endeavour anything by way of Brussels' [Spanish Netherlands]. He observes 'the tide runs as before in our enchanted castle; the same liberty of talking foolishly is suffered, though I hope in a few days to see their pride more abated than before. How can you think a man has either wit or honesty when he promises you a thing of such consequence as your pass, many weeks and months ago, and has done nothing yet?'.
