Quot flores estate nova quot gramina campo,
Tot tua dona mihi vir venerande manant,
Pro quibus ut donis referantur præmia magna
Munera pro meritis dii tibi digna ferant.
In quibus ut superas senioris Nestoris annos
Utque pater patriæ sis venerande precor,
Et postquam Lachesis desindet stamina fati
Te locet in patrio Christus ut ipse sinu. |

1578, Apr. 12. |
Has received his lordship's letters of the 9th inst., with others to Mr. Topcliffe, which, because he is not here about the Court, according to his lordship's request, he opened. Knows nothing of Matthew Throwpe, of whom he writes to Topcliffe, and the latter being absent, thinks it were not amiss to detain Throwpe in safe custody, being a suspected person, until he be sufficiently examined and discovered. Touching Cumberford, will think how the access to him, where he now is in custody, may be cut off.—Greenwich, 12 April 1578. |

521. Sir Nicholas White to Lord Burghley. |
|
1578, Apr. 30. |
The “heaftedom” of the Lord Deputy's displeasure towards me is such, as, upon this information, without consideration or
trial of my answer, he hath not only seemed to remit me from the Council board, but also hath commanded me to forbear the execution of my office, appointed another to sit in the Chancery for hearing of causes, and caused the door of my office to be sealed up, for that I refused to deliver her Majesty's rolls or records out of my custody till my case were made known to her Highness. |
|
This disturbance of me will prove but bad husbandry for her Highness; where the Deputy hath already allowed 100l. to the Archbishop of Dublin for keeping the Seal since the Chancellor departed. In this question of my office Justice Dowdall gave his opinion that there was no cause of forfeiture. Furnishes particulars of the other matter, the exchange : that he had in fee-farm of her Majesty three parcels, whereof one was a tithe, the other a parcel of Abbey ground called St. Katherine's, and the third Lexlipp. It was then declared against me that I had written maliciously and slanderously against my Lord into England, which I denied. But, my Lord, the Deputy hath borne me no goodwill since I took Stukeley's office, and dealt in the matters of his concordatums in England by her Majesty's appointment; and his displeasure is newly increased through imagination of my goodwill to my Lord of Ormond. And thus I have troubled you with a great deal of unpleasant matters, wherein I commit myself to your accustomed wisdom and goodness.—Dublin, 30 April 1578. |
