Money is so scarce that, unless Sir Roger Mostyn will stand surety for them in the city, it will not be sent as far as Wales.

Notes, in the autograph of Sir John Wynn of Gwydir, to show to my Lord Keeper. Although Sir John lived on good terms with John Gruffith, and with his father and grandfather, yet Gruffith would have maliciously undermined Sir John's son in the matter of a lease of some lead works from the Prince, by affirming them to be worth £500 and thereby causing him to be called before the Privy Council, which failed because the mines were proved to be on Sir John's own inheritance. Complains that over £200 has been spent on this Star Chamber suit. The abuse offered the writer's son Owen at Beaumaris by Griffith Jones was plotted by young John Gruffith and executed by his father.

Of all Welsh antiquities the 'Kywydd' has most credit. Sends the 'Kywydd', which is very well written by a notable bard of their country [Howel Coytmor], who makes ample declaration of the matter now in question. Somewhat is mentioned of him in our books on Welsh heraldry, but it seems he was metamorphosed into an Englishman, denying his own country. The Coytmors, his kinsmen, amongst whom Sir John lives, and a great part of whose inheritance he envies, take little notice of him. Uncle Robert Wynn of Conwy (who in his youth served Sir Walter Stonor of Henley-upon-Thames, Lieutenant of the Tower) told Sir John that this Coytmor had a house not far distant and that he was reputed to be of Welsh descent and that his inheritance went to coparceners a little before his coming into Wales. Notwithstanding what Robert Wynn said or what was written about him in books of heraldry, his name had died but for his Welsh songs. Antiquity had, therefore, reason to honour the bards, were it but to preserve their memory.

Parliament having been dissolved, the King went to Theobalds early on Wednesday last. In the park there the ice broke under the King's horse so that the King fell over his head into the water and was in great danger until, by means of those near by, he was helped out and had no hurt at all . The Bishop stands high in the King's and Buckingham's favour. The Prince and Lord Keeper have shown themselves his true friends. All proceedings of the High Commission against him are, by the King's command, dashed and ended. The clergy and laity must all yield a voluntary contribution to the value of a subsidy, payable on the 10th March next, towards raising an army for the Palatinate.
