Roby, John

"Traditions of Lancashire, Volume 1 (of 2)"


"I will not enlarge my lines to specific what other charges I was at to
further some of her Majestie's servants at my lying at Breme; as 70
dollars given or lent to one Conradus Justus Newbrenner; and about 40
given to gett some letters of great importance brought to our
sovereign's honorable privy council in due time.
[Sidenote: 10 lib.]
"The charge of my fraught and passage from Staden to London for my
goods, myself, my wife, children, and servants
[Sidenote: 796 lib.]
"So that the sum total of money, spent and laid out, in and for my
remove from Trebon to London doth amount to
[Sidenote: 1510 lib.]
"Whereby the whole sum of the former damages and losses
[Sidenote: 796 lib.]
"And the removing charges doth amount (with the least) to
[Sidenote: 2306 lib.]
"Besides the 100 dollars disbursed at Breme for dutiful love to Queen
and country."
One minor occurrence in the following tradition--viz., the loss of the
horse--is related by Lilly as happening to another of the fraternity;
but we claim it--upon grounds too trivial it might be deemed by
some--for the "Doctor." It is not our intention to spoil a good story by
rejecting what we cannot verify.
