Scope and content
Understands that William Maurice has lately been drawn to agree with his arch-adversary, Owen Ellis, on all suits between them. Though this is likely to but nine days' wonder in the country 'yet doth it give us good cause of wonder indeed that are so deeply engaged to maintain suit with him, first begun by yourself, and are now plainly by you forsaken and left out of the treaty'. Protests that this is not the right course, even with strangers, much less with persons so near in blood. William Maurice, indeed, has taken the thorn out of his own foot to put in 'ours'. Francis Eure loves peace though he be no partaker of it himself, and therefore he is glad that William Maurice is at peace. But he must not blame the others if upon his example they show themselves hereafter as reserved as he has been. They will not shrink from the burden of defending themselves, though they neither have confidence in him, nor will they now be able to 'lean to any wall or back beyond Trayth Mawre and Trayth Bychan'.
