617 ページ - My very dear and redoubted lord and father, in the most humble of manners in this world, I recommend myself to your kind favour.

618 ページ - I shall only remain eight days longer in their town, when I shall be forced to go into Flanders, which will be to me the most painful of events ; for I very much fear, that unless you shall hasten to free me from the hands I am now in, I shall never see you more. " ' Alas ! my most dear and redoubted father, my whole hope is in your power, seeing, my sweet lord and only delight, that all my sufferings arise from my love to you. I, therefore, entreat, in the most humble manner possible, and for the...
619 ページ - I am ready to die for love of you and your noble person. " ' Your government pleases me much, and, by my faith, my very redoubted lord and prince, my sole consolation and hope, I beg you will consider, by the love of God and of my lord St. George, the melancholy situation of myself and my affairs, more maturely than you have hitherto done, for you seem entirely to have forgotten me. Nothing more do I know at present, than that I ought sooner have sent Sir Louis de Montfort to you ; for he cannot...

' To this my harangue, my dear and honoured lord, they simply replied that they were not sufficiently strong within the town to defend and guard me; and instantaneously they rose in, tumult, saying that my people wanted to murder them; and, my sweet lord, they carried matters so far that, in despite of me, they arrested one of your sergeants, called Maquart, whom they immediately beheaded, and hanged very many who were of your party, and strongly attached...
