First sentence: I cannot make a better entry into a secretary's place, which his majesty hath conferred upon me, than by paying your lordship the first fruits of my letters, as they are the first I write in that quality, not by commandment, for your servant hath his despatch already by other hands, but out of a due respect to your person and service, with acknowledgment of many and very weighty obligations renewed unto me, when I had the honour last to see you at the Hague, when you gave me the comfortable assurance of his majesty's gracious intentions towards me.
