Andrada, (havmg received thofe Infhuchons, and be . ing furnifbed with money., by.

This done, they acqn tiat hiq1, with he Letters ':I of Andrada, with whom, they charge him~ to · conferreat Calait, in his way, and to paife to Lopez, into England; Addre:ffing, him further, to Strphano Ferrera de GamJ.; And Ggnifying unto the faid Lopez, withall, (as from the J(i~g,)that he gave no great credence to Andr~da) as a perfon, too ilc1ght, to · be uf-ed, in a Caufe, o(fo great wetght: And therefore n13rve1- led much, that he heard nothing, from Ferrera, of this M:~.tter; From whom, he had, in former time, been advertifed, in g.ene rality, of Lopez good affection, to do him fervice. This Ferre- . ra, had been, fometimes a Man~of greatLivelyhDod,and wealth in Portugall which he did forego, in adhering to Don An!or.·io; And appea:eth, to be a Man, of a Capacity, and practife; But hath,fome, years fince, been fecretly won, to the fer vice, of the King of spain; not travelling, neverthele£fe, too and fro, but refiding, as his Leiger, ·in England.

And now, upo~ thts new Dtfpa t ch~ a.nd Knowledge, given to Lopez obf thechoHt feof Ferrce ra, to. contmue that' which· Andr .u,J a , h.·1 ct' egm~; e, to_conronn 0tmfelfthe better, to the f,ttisfaCl:ion, of the Ktng ofSparn: and ht.s l!Jiniflers abroad, was content more fully, to comrnuotcate, wtth Ferrera, with whom,from that time ~lw~rd, he meant, fingl y, an? a pertly to deal; And therefore, cu n10gly forbare, to fpeak wtth Manuel Louys himfelf, but conclud~ d, that Ferrera fhould be . his only 1run~. , and all his Dealing~, iho~ld pafs through lns Handsl t hinking thereby to have gone Jnvijible.

After this Melfenger provided, it wa~ agreed, between Lopez, and Ferrera, that Letters fbould be fent · to the Count de F11ente.r, ~nd Secretary Juarra, written~ and figned, by Fe~rera(for Lopez, cautelouOy, drd forbear to write himfe]f) b~t duetted, and (indeed,) dictated word by word, by Lop:z hunfelf. The Cont~nts thereof were; That Lopez was read to ex~cute tha~ Service, to ~he King, which before had been trt'r~ ted, ~ut reqm~ed, for hts Recompence, the fum of soooo. Crowns, and afiurance for the fame. Thefe Letters were written obfcurely (as was touched ) in Termes of Merchandife; To which Obfcdrity, when Ferrera'excepted, Lopez. anf wered; They knew his meaning by that which had palfed. before.
