Description

Part 2, Folios 116-117. Letter dated at London from Lord Nottingham to the Prince of Orange that his longstanding ambition of serving the Prince made him most readily obey the Prince's commands received through Heer van Dyckvelt with whom he has had several conversations about things which he thought might be of use or satisfaction to the Prince. Nottingham says Van Dyckvelt can give the Prince an exact account of the state of affairs in England and he may especially assure the Prince of the utmost respect and duty paid to him by all Protestants, the Prince being the person on whom they found their hopes as having already seen him 'a refuge to the miserable and a most eminent defender of their religion'. Nottingham ends his letter 'And among the many votaries your Highness has here for your long life and increase of honour none can be more zealously so than myself, who am resolved with the greatest fidelity to endeavour by all the actions of my life to obtain the title of your Highness's most obedient and most humble servant.'
