Through this my long Absence out of England^ which wanted very little of five whole Years, my private Estate did greatly require my speedy Return ; which when I had ob- tained by Intercession of Friends, and a tedious Suit, I could enjoy but a while, being shortly after enjoyned to repair to the Hague again. Nevertheless, upon a cer- tain occasion to deliver unto her some secret Overtures, and of performing thereupon an extro- ardinary Service, I came again Home, within less than a twelve Month... ; and I was no sooner come, but her Highness embracing the Fruit of my Discoveries, I was presently commanded to return to the States, with Charge to 46 The Life of pursue those Affairs to Perform- ance, which I had secretly pro- posed; and according to the Pro- je6l which I had conceived and imparted unto her, all things were concluded, and brought to that Issue, that was instantly desired: Whereupon I procured my last Revocation. Now here I cannot chuse, in making Re- port of the principal Accidents, that have befallen unto me in the Course of my Life, but re- cord among the rest, that from the very first day, I had no man more to Friend, among the Lords of the Council, than was the Lord Treasurer Burleigh; for when occasion had been of- fered of declaring his Conceit, as touching my Service, he would Sir Thomas Bodley 47 always tell the Queen, (which I received from her self, and some other Ear- Witnesses ) that there was not any Man in England, so meet as myself, to undergo the Office of the Secretary: And since, his Son the present Lord Treasurer hath signified unto me in private Conference, that when his Father first intended to advance him to that Place, his purpose was withal to make me his Collegue.
