Master. The eleventh dayes journey we came to a Citie
called Erbrow, where we met with letters from England,
dated the I. of November, whom my Lord Lagerfield
left with Dewy (whom my Lord sent before) my Lord Lagerfield.
being got but a dayes journey before us, notwithstanding
our stay at Gottenberg, From this place the
Syndick of Gottenberg posted to Court, to acquaint them
with our being come so farre. The 14[unr] dayes journey we
came to a City called Westraaz: in this town, as in divers
others, were quartered, severall Companys of the Queens
Guards, and of them Guards were set at my Lords Lodging
for security. At that City of Erbrow (where one Company
was quartered) Salmasius his son was Captain. Here

any other Officer, to give them notice of his coming, they
answered, It was not, but that they had sent before of
themselves. This night a Poste came with Letters from the
the Grand Master to Mr. Lilly Chrone, the contents wherof
he signified to my Lord to be to this effect, That the
Queen and her Court were astonished at his Excellencies
being advanced so farre in his journey in so short a time,
which was much beyond their expectation; that her Majesty
was resolved to receive him with more then ordinary
respect and honor, for the which preparation could not
be made in so short a time as we might come from Encopin
to Upsall. It was therefore her Majesties desire that his
Excellency should repose himself untill Munday at Encopin,
and then to come 2 leagues to a Gentlemans house,
which the Grand Master had commanded to be provided
for him. And from thence upon Thursday to come to Upsall.
My Lord knew no other answer to this desire, and in
