After the forementioned defeat a letter (26. Febr. 1569.) was drawn and presented by the Secretary of State unto her Majesty to sign: which was a letter of thanks to the Lord Hunsdon for his good service in that overthrow: it being the very first act (as that letter intimates) that ever was executed by fight in field in her time against any rebels. With that letter, which she sent but did not sign, she wrote of her self and with her own hand on the same leaf this ensuing letter, which by the help of a Gentleman my friend and neighbour, I came to sight of. And, because it is worthy of all memory, pertinent to the forementioned story, full of encouragement to faithful Subjects and valiant Soldiers, and for the honour of that noble Family so nearly allied to her, and since so honoured by his Majesty, I have made bold to publish it word for word, not altering one syllable or letter therein, nor the manner of expressing or placing her name.
