The Privy Council (named), at the Court at Theobalds, to [Henry Herbert],. Earl of Pembroke. The Queen has been informed by letters of certain gentlemen in Devon and Cornwall of the recent sighting not far from the Isles of Scilly of a fleet of 120 ships, believed to be Spanish. Therefore maritime counties on the west coast and the counties adjoining them which are appointed to send supplies for the defence thereof upon any landing should be prepared for defence in case of any attempted invasion by the fleet. Until more is discovered of the fleet's intentions, preparations should be made quietly in the lieutenancy to send supplies to the maritime counties when required according to instructions already given relating thereto, with as little disturbance as possible to the gathering in of the harvest. At present no more detailed instructions can be given. Postscript: The forces appointed to defend the Isle of Wight should be urgently made ready. Copy.

Has received letters from the Earl of Pembroke, and understands William Maurice has also received a copy. Request urgently to execute the instructions contained in the letter 'for yor Lymytte'. To confer before all the men are in readiness would be to waste time. Intends to make 200 men ready in his limit, leaving the towns to their own defence, the men to be 'of the best sort' who are not fit for harvest work. In William Maurice's limit there must be more since there are no towns to defend. There is available no match, powder or bullets in the country to be bought. Laments 'our' negligence in not levying the mize. Directs William Maurice that the beacons on the coast be watched and to send note of his readiness and the number of men within 8 days, undertakes to do likewise. Warning that William Maurice's watchmen should send no false alarms. Postscript: Intends to spend several days in [ ] hundred and to trouble only the '[bett]er sorte'. Torn.

Received William Maurice's letter by Ellis ap Caddwaladr, John Wynn's cousin. John Wynn & William Maurice should have conferred before William Maurice proceeded in appointing musters for some commotes. It will cause confusion for William Maurice to proceed where John Wynn has so much experience, without having John Wynn's books, which do not agree with William Maurice's. Has had 'paines' in bringing William Maurice's limit to proportion and had little co-operation whence it was due. Had intended upon seeing William Maurice to show him 'the state of the cause where I left yt' and to hand it over to be finished. Expected some thanks for his efforts - he would not undertake the same again for a hundred pounds. But William Maurice appears to disagree with what John Wynn has done, without knowing the reasons therefore, and intends to 'sheefle the cardes anewe'. Advises against such action; others are moved by malice to advise it, being anxious to cause a rift and 'to make us a pageant to laugh at'. John Wynn, having forseen this, can give a good account of his actions, but if William Maurice crosses him, John Wynn must either suffer and be discredited or question William Maurice's actions, which may be avoided 'if you afforde but the travaill'. Proposes a meeting, either at Gwydir or at Penmachno or Capel Curig - John Wynn must be able to return to Gwydir the same night because of his 'sickly body'. They may discuss Gruffydd ap Gruffydd and the other matters in William Maurice's letter at their meeting.

The Queen, being daily informed of the continuing preparations of the King of Spain, thought to be intended 'toward theis partes', and wishing to know the state of the forces of the country has called to be viewed the certificates sent by her lieutenants in various counties. Henry Herbert has sent no certificate. Request for a view to be made with all possible speed of the horsemen and trained men in his lieutenancy, so that the bands may be complete and trained, and be in readiness if required. Let him make a certificate of the same, for which a 'paterne' is enclosed, and return it as soon as possible. Postscript: Instructions to the men appointed to go to Ireland to be ready to depart speedily when required.

Covering letter with No. 14. Request to proceed in the execution of the instructions therein contained; also to make enquiries what 'martiall men' are living in their counties who have served in the war as captains, lieutenants, ensigns, sergeants and corporals, and how they are employed in the deputy lieutenant's bands. Let them send a certificate thereof to the Privy Council as soon as possible. Postscript: The information concerning 'martiall men' is to be sent only to Henry Herbert. If any armour, weapons or powder is needed, let them inform Henry Herbert while he is in London and he will as far as he can see them supplied at a reasonable price. Wishes to know also of any 'defects of leaders' in the deputy lieutenants' bands and how they wish them supplied.
