I n the midd le o f the s ixteen th cen tury the E nglish mer
chan ts perce ived that the deman d fo r E nglish wares and com
mo d ities had con sidera b ly decreased ; tha t the some articles
fetched but low prices even when carried in to the coun tr ies
o f the v ery no tion s who formerly came to seek them in E ng
lan d ; while ou the o ther han d,the price and deman d
fo r fo re ign merchand ise stead ily in creased . Certa in grav e an d
wise c itizen s o f London,ha v ing a t heart the welfare o f the ir
coun try ,mot together to take coun sel how to remedy this
fa lling o ff o f the E ngl ish trade,
an d came to the conclus ion ,that
,fo llowing the example of the Span iards and P o rtugoeso ,
they must seek new sources of riches b y the d isco very
o f n ew coun tries and the establishmen t o f new mercantile co nnec tions . A fter much d il igen t co n sultation with the
ren own ed S eb astian C a b o t, a t tha t time in London , the y
d e termin ed b y his adv ice, to send out certa in ships fo r the
sea rch and d isco very o f a no r th eastern passage to new and
unk nown coun tr ies . To fit out these ship s it was decided to
fo rm a company ,every memb er o f which was to subscribe
twen ty five pounds . I n a sho rt t ime s ix thousand poundswere co llec ted , with which sum three ships were bought,repa ired , and tho roughly fitted out . The en tire command of the
exped ition wa s given to «a mo st v al ian t and worthy gen tleman S ir H ugh Wi lloughb y», and b y commo n con sent R ichard
Chan cello r was cho sen pilo t- majo r .
Such is the purpo rt o f the accoun t given b y Clemen tA dams
,schoo l -mas ter to the Queen ’
s henchmen,of the o rigin
and fo rma tion o f the E nglish Company o f «Merchants A d venture rs fo r the d isco very of lands , terr itories , isles and se ign
io r io s un kn own , and no t b y the Seas an d n av ngatious common ly
frequen ted ». The same idea fo rms the b as is o f E dwa rd V l ’slette r miss iv e to a ll Kings and P rinces o f the n o rth
eastern par ts o f the wo rld,though it there appea rs ado rned
with ph ilosophica l reason ings to pro ve tha t commerce is the
fulfilmen t of the command o f « the great and A lmighty G od »
who «ha th giv en un to man k ind such o n heart an d des ire
tha t ev ery ma n d esireth to jo in friendship with o ther , to lo ve
and b e loved ; a lso to g ive and rece ive mutua l benefits» .
I f, to the majo rity o f the members o f the n ewly formed
company ,the chief inducemen t was so lely a desire fo r wea lth ,
mere ly en vy o f the r iches b rought b ac k from Amer ica an d
I nd ia b y the Span iard s and P o r tugueese , still it is impossib len o t to recogn ise , were it but in some o f them, o ther and
more elev ated mo tiv es . O ne must b ear in mind tha t the pr inc ipnl direc tor of the mo v emen t was Se b astian Ca b o t , a t that
t ime one of the mo st learn ed represen ta tives o f c o smographya sc ience who se theories had b een late ly o v er thrown b y the
d isco v er ies o fCo lumb us and Va sco do G ama ,and whichwas n ow
seek ing fo r a n ewer and suro r founda tio n ; on e mus t remem
b er tha t the pas s io n fo r ma ritime exped it io ns , inn a te in a ll
sea -
girt nation s, a lways remarkably predominan t in E nglish
men even down to the presen t day , had just then rece ived
fre sh st imulus b y the return from the fo r West o f ad v entu
rers who b e ing we lcomed everywhere with respect , repa idthe reception giv en them b y the accoun ts , sometimes fa b u
lo an, but even in the ir s tric t v erac ity resemb l ing fa b les,
o f
a l l they had seen, heard and suffered ; and the v ery ta les o f
the pr iva tions they had endured , the dangers they had enco n a
tered , on ly inflamed in the ir young hea rers a thirst fo r d is
tan t en terprise,jea lousy o f tho se who had proceeded them
,
and eagerness to endure an d suffer as they had don e .
Without reco gn izing in this case the pa rt ic ipa tion o f the
d a ring spirit o f the E ngl ish common people , an d the learned
zeal o f the educated classes,it would b e d ifficult to unter
staud how,
amongs t the names o f the founders o f the com
pa ny , we mee t with some o f the highest pers o nages o t the
rea lm: the Marquis o f W inches ter , lo rd h igh treasure r ,—E a r l
—Iv
«Duke,the elec ted elders of C o lmogo r , Phil ip R b d ion of an d
« F o fan Makarof, wrote to the C zar and grea t duke at Mo s«cow
,about the arr iva l of the E ngl ish k ing E dward
’
s en voy,
«R ichard an d his compan io ns». In Oc tober , the ship, b y theiro rder , was brought in to win ter mo o rings at the mouth of the
Un a,and on the 23- rd of N ov ember , b y the Czar ’
s command,
C han cello r an d his compan ion s were d ispatched to Mo scow.
The arrival o f C han cello r a t Mo scow occurred at the
mo st brillian t per iod o f the l ife of John when he had justre turn ed v icto r ious from the fin a l struggle with Kazan , bringing b ac k from the multitud in ous d ifi
‘
iculties of the war , the
glor ious title o f con queror o f . the k ingdom o f Kazan ; when
surroun ded b y a ho st of v alian t lead ers he could fo resee the
easy subjection of the k ingdon o f A strakhan and hope for
the repression o f the C rimean s ; when secure from the Ta r
tars and attended b y the unfe igned lo v e o f his subjects , he
could employ the powerful and truly sta tesman ly in tellect he
had inher ited from his gran d father an d n amesake , in the a o
complishment o f the grea t wo rk begun b y that grandfa ther
the se tting in order an d c iv il iza tion o f his empire . The riches
o f Musco vy were immen se ; innumerable armies ro se at the
command o f the sov ereign ,bravely withsto od the enemy in
the fi e ld , pa tien tly and un daun ted ly endured when besieged ;b ut the Russian c zar was obliged to admit tha t he could n o t
compete with the Swede or the Teuton ic kn ights , the P o le
or the Lithuan ian , as long as he had no t « cun n ing engineers ,
accustomed to d estroy town s», and « architects who could
con struct fo rtresses , towers , an d palaces ». H e kn ew as we llas the P o l ish k ing tha t he required «weapon s hitherto nu
« kn own to him,artificers and arts»; that «hither to he was
«vuln erable on ly because he was rude and ign o ran t o f po li«cies»; and he arden tly longed for inte rcourse with the Wes t!
B ut the West was closed to him: the jealous eye o f h is implacable foe and neighbour , the P o le , narrowly watched that the fewG erman trad ers who con tr iv ed to cro ss the Lithuan ian fron
tier should carry to Mo scow no wares which might serve toinjure L ithuan ia and P o lan d , tha t they should bring to Russia
4
n o per son s capa b le to ass ist in increas ing its power . O n the
con trar y , the P o lish k ing employed these merchan ts as
and b y the in te ll igence they suppl ied , learn ed what was beingdon e and plo tted at Moscow.
This state of things accoun ts fo r the fa vour wi th whichJohn received the letter brought b y C han cello r from E dward
,
and the read in ess with which he gran ted permission to «R i
c chard and the guests arr iv ed from the E ngl ish land wi thwares brought in the ir sh ips from beyond the seas
,to come
c and'
go in safety in his Russ ian domin ions , and to b uy and
bui ld houses without let o r hindrance ». When d ismissingChancello r
,John assured E dward (who was a lready dead) o f
his «most hearty and o f goo d zea le with good in ten t and
fr end ly desire » in trusting C hancellor « in the l ight o f
grea t understand ing h is an swe r to wise ly lett him know» thatan swer .
O n the l 5 o th o f March , C hancellor with his compan io nsleft Mo scow an d
.

and fidelity of their information ; their narrations , in which
n o t o nly the structure o f the language , but frequen tly even

Meanwh ile , dur ing the fo llowing win ter some nomad tri

o n the l l - th o f September he en tered the creek fo rmed b ythe mouth o f the r i ver A rz ina , and gradual ly saw all his

and r igging, to C olmogo r .
The in telligence brought b y Chan cellor o f his receptio nin Russia , a nd the permiss ion of the czar to E nglish
men to trade with his coun try , had for result tha t
Phi lip an d Mary co nfirmed the charter for «merchan ts aduen

deed co n ta in ing this charter rece iv ed the royal san ction a t
Westmin ister February 6- th 1 555 . The company ,which
was to b e placed under the d irec tion of S ebastian Cab o t, named go vern o r fo r life , was to con sist of four
con suls and twen ty four assistan ts to b e chosen every
year . The compan y was licensed to mak e d iscover ies in the
d irec tion o f the n or th,
north- eas t and north -west; to carry
the royal bann e rs , flags , stan dards ; to subdue , possess and
o ccupy , as our sub iec ts , all town es , castles , v illages , isles ,

and ma in lande s o f in fidelitie »; to repulse b y fo rce , strang
ers who should attempt to h inder the ir nav iga tion or trade ,
o r to profit b y the sea - pa ssage d isco vered b y them. E ngl ish
subjec ts no t b e longing to the company were likewise fo r b idden to sai l or trade b y that way without lic en se from the
company , under pe nalty o f the fo rfeiture o f the ir ships an d
wares , ha lf the product of wh ich was to go to the roya l
excheqher , and the o ther ha lf to the company .
These , and some o ther p riv ileges were gran ted to the
company b y P hilip and Mary , in the name o f themselves ,the ir heirs and successors .
O n the first of May 1 5 55 a t a genera l assemb ly o f the
company, it was decided to d ispatch C hancellor to Russ ia
on his former ship , the E dward B onaven ture, and to send
with him R ichard G rey a nd G eo rge Killingwo rth witho rders for the establishmen t o f trade with that coun try; the
agen t John B ro o k , o n board the « Philip and Mary», a lso
under the command o f C hancello r , was to b e sen t to
W ardhuys , to endeav our to establ ish there an exchange
of commod ities so as to br ing to E ngland d ried fish , tra in
o il,and o ther products o f the fi shing trade ; and acco rd ing
to the success o f the exchange , he was to await there the
homewa rd passage o f C hancellor , o r to return a t once to
E ngland .
Thereupo n a l l tho se in tended fo r the vo yage to ok o a th
upon the B ible to serve the compan y truly and upr ightly;and Chancellor , G rey, and Killingworth were furn ished withletters to the cza r (da ted l - st o f A pril 1 5 55)wr itten in three
languages : greek , po lish and ita lian .
The instruction given b y the compan y to its agen ts is in
the highest degree remarka b le fo r its exac titude , minuteness,and foresight; its prin c ipal articles enjo in that al l perso nsemployed b y the company should b e in uncond itiona l sub or
d in atio n to the agen ts , to whom full power is reserved to
pun ish the d isobed ien t and negligen t , an d even, in case o f
necessity ,to giv e them up to the Russian autho rities to b e
pun ished accord ing to the laws o f the coun try . The sub o rd i
n ation required was so en tire , that it was fo rb idden to leav e
on e’
s house b y n ight, without a spec ia l permission from the
agen t . The laws of the coun try , bo th c iv il and ecclesiast ic
were to b e str ictly k ept, all duties an d taxes duly pa id , and
a quiet and orderly behav iour to b e observed . I f the czar
should wish to appropr iate to himself o r assign to any o ther
person the so le right o f trah ie with the E nglish , then to fix
the highes t po ssible price fo r E nglish wares , and the
lowest possible fo r Russian ones , bea ring in mind tha t
the first named prices would serve as a rule fo r the
futur e . With reference to the information which every one
serv ing the compan y was enjo ined to collec t, they were boundto repo rt to their employers a ll they learned respectingthe manners , customs and way o f trading o f the Russ ians ;what merchand ise it would b e ad van tageous fo r E ngland to
carryto , o r br ing from Russ ia ; the n atural production s o f the
coun try ; what money , we ights and measures are used ; wha t
duties , mean s o f tran spo rt etc .
V I t is wor thy o f remark tha t those go ing to Russia wereo bliged to depo s it with the company a pecun iary pledge a nd
the testimo ny o f trus two rthy sureties fo r the ir go od and ho nour
able co nduc t .
The attempt o f B rook to establish a trade with W ardhuys
seems to ha ve b een unsuccessful ; a t all even ts C hancello r arriv ed
a t the po rt o f S t . N icho las with b o th ships the « B onaventure»
and the « Phil ip and Mary»; there he met with Willough b y’
s
two vessels the « B uona E speran za » and the « B uona C o nfi
denza » and learned that he was no t destined to deliver to the
first commander o f the en treprise the message sen t b y the
compan y : « that the company grieved for h is long absence ;wished for n ews of him and his fellow- travel lers, an d to
embr ace , accept, and en trea t them as the ir dear and wellbeloved bre thren .»
So o n a fter Chan cellor ’

wishing to find out what mark ets would b e mo st adv an tageousfor the E nglish ,
and where they would b e the least depend en t on Russ ian merchants ;
“suppo s ing ,
no t without reason,
that C o lmogor be ing so far from Mo scow, the trade there
would b e concentra ted in very few hand s . The resul t of this
co nference was the gran t o f a pr iv ilege b y the czar to the
E nglish company fo r traffi c without duty in a ll so rts o f
wares , throughout all Russia . D isputes b e tween the E ngl ish
and Russian merchan ts were to b e dec ided b y the czar him

straight from the palace was conducted to Westminster A bbey ,where , from a sea t especially pre pared for him
,he assisted

of the o rder of the G arter . A s a con clusion , on the 29 - th
A pril , a gr and supper was giv en to him at the Draper ’

O il the 3- rd May he left fo r G ravesend , where he embarkedon b o ard the «P rimro se», which was considered as admiral o f
the little flee t co nsisting o f three mo re vessels ; the captainwas A n thony J enk inson , too remarkable a person age no t to
recall some o f the ev en ts of his serv ice .
From his autobiographica l no tes preserv ed b y H akluyt it
appears tha t Jenk inson commen ced his travels on the 2 - nd o f
O ctober 1 546; in the course of the ten years which proceededhis en ter ing the serv ice o f the company , he trav e lled throughFlanders , the N e therlands , through G e rmany to I ta ly , from
thence through P iedmont to F rance ,went to Spa in and P ortu

ve lled all through G reece , the greater par t of Turkey and A sia
Minor , crossed the Lebanon to Damascus and Jerusalem, sawthe sea - coast towns of A fr ica : A lgiers , Tripo li , Tun is , etc . ,
etc . , etc . The numerous remarks to b e met wi th in the
accoun ts left b y him of his trav els bear witness to his in tel ligen ce and o b servation ; and his knowledge. o f the con duct o f
nego c ia tio n s is shown b y the success o f his in tercourse withthe di fferen t rulers of the Caspian coast and of south westernA s ia ; b y the establishmen t of trade between E ngland and
P ers ia through Russ ia , and fina lly b y the persisten t demands
expressed in numerous letters of the czar John tha t E lizabethshoul d sen d to confer with him on «pr incely affa irs» espec iallyA n thony Jenk in son , and n o other .
The vessels reached the po r t of S t . N icho las on the l 2 - th

’
s serv ice , departed fo r Mo scow on the 20- th,
immed ia tely after the land ing o f the goods purchased b y him in
E ngland for the czar’

for C o lmogor un til the ships had been un laden of all the E nglishwa res they had on b oard , an d had b een refreighted with the
Russian merchand ise a lready prepared , and had set sa il on theirhomeward v oyage . A t C o lmogor and a t Vo logda , he sojournedsome time , acquain ting himself with the state of trade , so tha t
he arriv ed at Mo scowon ly on the 6- th of December . Most gra
cious ly receiv ed b y the czar , he spen t the win te r atMoscow, and
foun d mean s to obtain such favour at court, that when he
presen ted his request for permission to seek fo r n ew ro ad s of

ie b eyond the Vo lga, the czar n o t only gran ted it b ut pro
v ided himwith safe - conducts addressed to sev eral of the rulers
through who se territo ry he would perhaps have to pass , and
ordered him to travel from N ijn i N ov ogorod to A strakhan withthe n ewly appo inted governor of the latter town .
Jenk inson left Mo scow,23 - rd A pr il 1 558, and arr ived at
A s trakhan 1 4 - th July . The account of his voyage down the
Vo lga is extremely in teresting; day b y day he wro te down thedescr iption o f the places near which he passed . F or in stance , he
wr ites that at that time almost all the N agayan v illages weredepo pulated : civ il war s , famine and pestilen ce had destro yedthe grea ter part o f the N agayan hordes ; the remainder had fled
to A s trakhan,hoping to find subsistence there , b ut dr iv en thence ,
they pe rished b y hunger in such immense numb ers, that the
b an k s o f the Vo lga n ear the town were strewn with heaps of

on the a rr ival o f sh ips in spr ing, he set sa i l,Jun e 9 1 564
,
for E nglan d from which he had b een absen t three yea rs .
I t may b e suppo sed tha t the labours of Jen k in son , duringthese trav els , were rewarded b y the compan y rece iv ing him
amongst the number o f its memb ers , fo r in the next cha r
A lter J enkinson , live more transpo rts of goods from England took
place; but the murder o f the persons in charge , the frequent pillage o f the
c aravans, and the very irregular and uncertain payment , presented so manydangers , b y land, b y sea
,and even b y the Vo lga , that the trade was
finally ab andoned in 1681 .
XVI I I
te r g iven b y John ( 1 567) h is name appears amo ngst those o f
the E ng lish merchan ts to whom it is gran ted . A t all even ts
as soon as the necessity of in tercess io n with the czar presen ted ttse lf, the cho ice of the compan y fe ll upon Jenk inson , and
o n the 4 - th May 1 566, he aga in left E ngla nd fo r Russia .
The reason o f h is be ing sen t this time wa s a mo st a la rmingrepo r t which had reached the company , that a certain I ta lian ,
R a phae l B arber in i , settled in Russ ia ,was endeavouring to in
jure the E nglish trade , b y assur ing the czar that the waresbrought b y the E ngl ish merchan ts , were n ot of E ngl ish pro
duction , b ut might b e obta in ed much mo re ad v an tageously
d irec t from the Dutch and G ermans . Jenk in son was instruc ted
to demand the expulsion of B arber ini , and the prohi b ition of
the en try o f the Dwina to all foreigners—demands which wererendered extreme ly d ifficul t from the fac t of B ar b er in i hav ing
been rece ived b y the cza r as the bearer o f a letter from E li
za b eth,which he had obta ined from her under the fraudulen t
pre tence that he was go ing to Russ ia fo r the reco very o f debtsowin g to him b y some E nglishmen res iden t there . J enk ia
fulfilled this commissio nwith en tire success ;moreo ver , he obta ined from the cza r a n ew char ter b y which a ll person s n o t
b e longing to the company , whether E n glishmen o r fo reigners ;
were fo rbidden to en ter any of the mouths o f the Dwina , o r toan cho r a t C o lmogor , Co la , Mezen ,
P echenga , the is land of S o lo
vetsk y ,the P etcho ra o r the O b i ev en a t W ardhuys . The company
wa s n o t on ly con firmed in the po ssession of its house at Mo scowa nd the r ight to establish wa rehouses on the Dwina, at Vo
logda , Ya roslav l , Ko stroma , N ijn i , Kazan , A strakhan , N ovo

, N arva an d D o rpat , but a lso acqui red the pr iv ilege to tran spor t its merchand ise without duty to Shemakha ,B okha ra , an d Chaday i . s . Samarcand .
The mo tiv e o f this read in ess on the par t o f John must apparen tly b e sought fo r in the state of his min d a t tha t per iod . Fromthe t ime o f his marr iage with the C ircass ian prin cess , commenced that wild
,un restra ined aban donmen t to his passion swhich
has in scr ibed his re ign in blo od in the annals of Russ ia . I t
is v a in to a llot his execution s to var ious per iod s in one
—xx
o ther,the misfortunes o f the one , the misfo r tunes of the
o ther , that if o ne of them should b e obliged’
to forsake his
k ingdom, the k ingdom of the o ther might b e free to him as
his own possession .
With this commission Jen k inson was sen t to E ngland pro
bably in autumn , b y way of Lithuan ia , fo r in N ovemb er of
the same yea r ( 1 567) he had a lready set it down in writingin London : the czar was in haste he required an an swerb y S t . P eter
’s day ( 29 - th June), con sequen tly b y the spr ing
ships .
B ut it d id no t enter in to the calculation s o f E lizab eth to
conc lude a treaty ofi'
ensiv e and defensiv e with John ; she couldexpect n o assistan ce from Russ ia in her were aga in st the
Ca tho lic powers ; and to commence ho stilities aga in st P o land and
Sweden , the enemies o f Russia,would b e con trary to the in ter
ests o f E ngland . Russia was no t to E ngland a coun try o f
an y po li tical importance ; it was merely a conv en ien t trade
ma rt fo r the barter of E nglish wares , and when ce could b e
rece ived the rawmaterials , necessary to the ma in ten ance o f
E nglish in dustry . The term fixed b y the czar passed , and no
answer was made to his pmpo sition ; he was ev en left in
ign o ran ce whether Jenk inson had fulfilled the trust committedto him.
A bout this time the compan y o f E nglish merchan ts trad ingto Muscov y incurred a great d anger the loss o f the monopo lythey had hither to enjoyed of the Russian trade . A t the fall
o f the Teuton ic Order , the terr ito ries belonging to it werepar titio ned b etween the k ings o f Sweden and P o land , and
John was confirmed in the possession of the western po rt ion ,E s thon ia an d L iv on ia . The grandfather of John , b y erecting the
fo rtress of I vangorod , separate d from the town o f N arva on ly
b y the r iv er,had shown how much impo rtance b e attached
to the sov ereign ty o f tho se parts ; it secured to Russia a sea
po rt on the B altic . B y brin ging the western ban ks o f the Vo l
kho t,the P eipus
,and the N aro va , under the Russian sway ,
John was en abled to esta b lish a safe route for traffic from
P sk o fl'
and N ov ogorod to Na rva , and with a firm foo ting on
_ n y _.
the B a ltic coast, to b ow out that window towards E uropewhich itwas reserved - to P eter the G reat to throwopen a centur yand a ha lf later . John no t on ly adopted the v iews of his grea t
pre d ecessor as to the importan ce of N erve,but in tak ing
po ssession of it, d iscerned the po ssibility of rec tifying an immen seerro r committed b y his grandfa the r : the ruin of N ov ogorod
b y the cessation o f commerce with the H an se . H e endeavoured to a ttract to N arva the trade of Lub eck ; and , while con
sen ting , at the desire of E lizabe th , to clo se the ports of the
W hite Sea to a ll strangers except the E ngl ish ,he , at the
same t ime opened the trade at N erve to all fo reigners more
especia lly the Lub eckers . The Musco v y agen ts o f the E nglish
commny also established there an agen cy ; but the facto rs
sent for that purpo se , B utte r and G lov er , b y the means
of one,Chappel , entered into d irec t communication with the
merchan ts belonging to ano ther E nglish company trad ing to
Lubec'
k an d G ermany , and thereby caused great injury to theW hite Sea company . The latter b ecame alarmed , and at once
has tened to put a term to this dangerous competition ; at its
so licitation , after the return of Jenk in son E lizabeth had sen t
out her messengers, Man ley and Midd leton ( the former in O ctob er 1 567, the latter in F ebruary to demand that the
aforesaid fac tors‘
should b e seized and sent to E ngland ; b ut
John was part icularly well d ispo sed towards Rutter , formerlytranslator to Jenk inson , and toward s G lover who had
a lso tak en part « in the afl'
airs o f brotherhood and frond
shippe » be tween the czar and the queen . Chappel , likewise ,‘a t the risk of his life had executed sev era l commissions fo r
the czar at Lubeck ; furthermore Man ley, and Middleto n , «em
b rased with pr ide , would make n o aunswere», as to whetherJenk inson had fulfilled the czar
’
s trust; they were bo th deta ined , as was also a third messenger , G oodman , un ti l a replyshould b e received from E lizab eth .
‘
This measure was sug
gested‘
b y the ca lumn ies inven ted b y . the factors , who affirmed
that the messengers had no autho r ity from E lizabeth tha t the
letter brought b y them was a fo rgery , an d they, themselves ,
sp ies o f the king of P o land , who emplo yed every poss ible
mean s to hinder the trade of N e rv e . Th is last reason might
appear the mo re proba b le to John,from the fact tha t ev en
befo re the arr ival of Jen k inson in 1 567, Sigismund ll , hopin g
to in spire John with suspic io n again st the E nglish merchan ts ,
had secretly sent pretended letters of thanks purpo rting to he
addressed to them,had fitted out ships from D antzig to capture
the v essels go ing to N erve , had persuaded the D a nes and
Swed es no t to use that route , and thre atened E liza b e th tha t
lo ss of l ife , l iber ty , wives and child ren » awa ited tho se who
should carry wares and weapo n s to N ar va—« to the Mosco v ite
who was n o t o n ly the tempo rary enemy o f the k ing of P o lan d,
b ut the he red itary foe o f a ll free n a tio ns».
Such be ing the state of affa irs , E l iza b e th dete rmined to sen d
an amb assado r ex traord in ar y , and fo r this trus t she se lec ted
o ne o f her courtiers who had a lready served as amb assad o r ,
Thomas R ando lph , mas ter o f the queen’
s po sts . H is pr in c i
pa l busines s was , with the aid of two agents sen t with him,to
put in o rder the ad'
a irs of the merchan ts , and to demand the
expuls ion o f the facto rs who had injured the trade of the com
pany; as to the treaty o f a ll iance , he was to pass it over in
s ilence , o r an swer vague ly, so as to avo id engaging E ngland
in the wars o f Rus s ia with P o land and Sweden ; as to the
secret message o f Jen k inson , he was to info rm the czar tha t
the queen ,kn owing his power and wisdom,
thought Jen k inso nmus t have misco nce ived the message he had brought , but if,however , any mischance happened , the czar might b e sure o f
a fr iend ly reception in E ngland ; tha t the queen , fo r her own
part , trusting in the mercy o f G od , had no fear o f da nger ,
either from he r own subjects o r from any fo reign enemies .
I n her letter to the czar , E l iza b eth on lymentions trade afi'
ai rs ;
the rema inder o f her in structions , R ando lph was to tran smit b yword o f mouth, to avo id a ll wr itten documents .
R ando lph arr iv ed in the harbour of S t . N icho las June 231 568, b ut on ly reached Mo scow October 1 5 ; the E nglishwerefor b idden to go to welcome h im; he an d his suite were no t
allowed to quit the house ass igned to them, and no o ne was
admitted to them. John,in his letter to E l izabeth
, exp la in s
this b y saying that R an do lph would no t confer with his lordson any subjec t un ti l he had been received b y h imself; b ut it
seems more pro b able to suppo se that the czar d id n ot wishthe ambassador or his a tten dants to knowwhat was then pas
sing at Mo scow: execution s fo llowing on e upon another , the
R eserv ed b od ygua rd urged b y the czar to ev ery so rt o f out
rage , the metropo litan to rn from his episcopa l sea t and thrownin to P erhaps also , the czar was influenced b y the
ca lumn ies of the compan y’
s Mo scov ite facto rs , who fear ingthe detec tion of their a buses b y the agen ts accompany ingR ando lph, d id al l they could to slander the ambassado r ,throwing doubt ev en on the authen ticity of the letter he ha d
brought from the queen . The latter suppo sition is confirmed
b y the compla in ts of Rando lph tha t bo th the letters he wro teto E ngland , an d those whi ch were sen t thence to him,
were ,through the in tr igues and accusation s of B enn et an d Rutter ,se ized a t N arva
,an d del ivered over for tran slation to o ne
of the pr incipal o fi'
enders R a lph Rutter .
I n his fo llowing letter , however, John attr ibutes the n on
receptio n o f R ando lph for so long a time , to the prevalen ceof the plague with which G od had v isited the coun try.
O n the 9 - th o f F ebruary 1 569 , R andolph was at las t re
ce ived b y the czar , but without the hon ours usually shownto an ambassador : the hour fixed for his reception was very
ea rly ,8 o
’
clock in the mornin g ; n o horses were sen t e i ther
fo r himself o r his suite , so tha t he was obliged to hire a
saddle ho rse fo r himself and his suite wen t on fo o t to the
pal ace ; when he a rr ived a t the ambassadors office , he wasmad e to wait there full two hours; and at his presen tation to
the czar,he was n o t hon oured b y an in v itation to the czar
’
s
table .
A few days later , the czar sent for him in the evening for
a conference ; this conference was surrounded b y the greatest
secr ec y : on a co ld da rk n ight R ando lph, disguised in 9. Rus
s ia n dress , was conduc ted to the pa lace b y the personage sen t
to fetch him, and whom he ca l ls « the long duke ». The confer
en ce lasted three hours and Ran d o lph re turn ed home on ly to
XXIV
wards mo rn ing. N ext day the czar left fo r the A lexandrov sky
Sloboda , and R ando lph was again admitted to an audien ce
on ly in the beginn ing o f A pr il, but this time he was rece ived
mo re grac iously , and new priv i leges were given to the E ng
lish merchants , allowing them to carry on the ir trad e withP ersia , through Russ ia ,
to search fo r mines of iron a t Vychegda ,
an d to'
co in money at Moscow,N o vogorod an d P skofi’
; E ng
lishmen carrying on trade at N arv a apart from the company ,were fo r b idden to con tinue i t ; and the company rece ived the
right to seize the fo re ign ships which had begun to frequen t
the White S ea po rts , o n con d ition that half o f the v alue se ized
should go to the imperial treasury . I t is wo r thy o f remark
tha t b y an article o f this charter , the house of the E ngl ish
merchants is transferred from the N ational to the Re serv ed
jurisd iction ; this d eta il , taken in conjun ction with the fact
that all the conferences with R an do lph were conducted b y the
well known fav orite o f John , on e of the principal R eserv ed
people , P rince A thana sius I v ano vich V iasemsk y , proves tha tJohn cons id ered the con nection with E ngland n o t in the least
as an internatio n al afia ir , but as a matter perso nally co ncom
ing E lizabeth and himself.
The czar ordered R ando lph,after receiv ing this charter
,
to fo llow him to Vo logda , announc ing that he should b e d is
patched then ce in company with his amb assado r A ndrew G re
goriev ich So v in . The czar was in such haste to send o fl’ his
amb assado r . that the day after taking leave at Vo logda ,Rando lph was told b y S ov in that he was allowed three
days for preparation , at the exp iration of which time, all his
good s would b e thrown out of doo rs .
The a im of Rando lph ’
s mission was attained : the companyof E ngl ish merchants had received n ot on ly the confirmatio n ,but also an increase of its priv ileges ; the competition of fore ign
ers in the White S ea trade was averted : the injury like ly to
b e caused to the traffic a t N erve b y E nglishmen trad ing there
on their own account was put a stop to , at the very commen ce
ment,
and the ringleader of the d isturbance , G lover , was
g iven up to R an do lph to answer befo re the compan y fo r h is
do ings .
B ut John was inten t on obtain ing a treaty o ffensive and
d efen s iv e , and a lthough R ando lph succeeded in ev ad ing fo r
himself the conclus ion of such a treaty , still he could n o t
refuse to take S ov in to E ngland with him. The in structio ns
delivered to S ov in co n tain ed clauses , to b e in clud ed in the
treaty and which the queen was required « to cause to b ewr itten in Rousse wo rds fo r wo rd ».
The requests of John prov ided that E l izabe th and he should
upho ld o n e ano ther again st their common fo es ; tha t they should
he lp one ano ther b y tr00 ps , mon ey and arms ; tha t the subjec tso f the on e should ha ve the r ight to settle in the coun try o f
the o ther , and trade there , free from duty . and all hinderan ce .
B y a secret artic le bo th so vere igns were to engage that in case
o f d anger , the one should find refuge in the k ingdom of the
o ther . This conven tion was to b e confirmed on the part of bo thb y k iss ing the cro ss , and seal ing with the great seal in the
presence of ambassadors to b e mutua lly exchanged fo r tha t
purpo se . E lizabe th’
s ambassador was to b e A nthon y Jenk in son ,and he was to leave for Russia at the same time as of S ov in .
To confer with. So v in, E lizabeth named some o f her most
trustwo rthy di gnitaries , lo rd s o f her priv y counc il . The confer
ences lasted nea rly a year (from July 1 569 to May but
they led to no result . The E nglish lords dec lared that the
queen befo re engaging E ngland in the wars o f the czar with
his en emies , should assure herself of the justice of tho se wars ,and try the success o f her in terpo sition to put an end to them.
S o v in insisted on the literal transcr iption o f the co nv en tion
demanded b y the czar,no t cons ider ing it compatible with the
d ign ity of his so vere ign that the justice of his acts should b e
ques tioned b y E lizabeth . E lizabeth hoped that the czar on
reflect ion would desist from his demands , and the fo llowin gsp ring when S ov in urgen tly asked for his dismissal , she let
him leave without Jenk inson , at that time absent (perhaps ,purpose ly)from London , in trusting him, no t with the trea ty ,
but
with two letters—one,such as she usua lly sen t on the dismissal
o f amb assado rs , the o ther secret , signed b y her , and sealed with
her own,sma ll pr ivate signet . I n the fo rmer , con ta in ing the
answer to S o v in’
s osten sible mission , she undertakes to enter
into a league with Russia for mutual a id aga inst their com
mon enemies , and the preserv ation of Russ ia from injuriescommi tted b y any person o r po tentate whatsoeverg—in the latter ,the secret one , she promises John
,for himself, his family , an d
al l he sha ll bring with him, shelter in E ngland , in the even t
lest « b y any casual l chaunce either of secr ite con sp iracie , o r
outward hostill itie he shoul d b e driv en to change his coun try».
Such an an swer could no t sa tisfy John ,who had then attain
ed tha t period of fur ious tyranny which is unparallelled inhisto ry when the v ict ims of his execution s were in scribed fo r
masses on the church registers , no t b y name , no t b y tens , no t
b y hundreds , but in who le thousands . H e breaks out in tov io len t abuse in his letter to E lizabeth
,wri tten after the return
o f Sov in . W e had thought , he writes , that youwere sove
re ign in your own country ,and ruled with so v ereign power ,
ca r ing for the hon our an d profit of your coun try , therefo re wewished to tr ea t with you, as with a so vere ign . B ut we perceiv ethat other man
,without you,
rule your coun try, and no t men ,
b ut b oo rs an d merchan ts , and you, maid as youar e,behav e
like a ma id , ( «you flows in“
your mayden lie estate like a
I t is n o longer necessa ry to con tinue our inter coursewith you, and you may send back the charter we gran ted ;but if it b e no t sen t back , it is of no consequen ce—we annul
it,and a ll similar priv ileges gran ted b efore ; we shall see how
they will managewithout their pr ivi leges , those «boo r ish merchan ts» who preferred the ir own mercha nt ’s wea lth ,
to our
prince ly honour and pr ince ly profit ! A nd even before the
E nglish merchan ts came , the empire of Muscovy wanted fornought .
This letter was brought b y a person in the serv ice of the
c ompany , former ly interpreter to S ov in , one Dan iel S ylvester .
B ut before he arr iv ed in London , news had b een received , pro
b ably b y way o f N arva,that the cza r had no t on ly depr ived
the E ngl ish merchants o f the ir freedom, b ut had se ized all the ir
an unknown way through wildernesse » (proba b ly through P o

A t C o lmogor J en
kinson had to en dure every in sul t from the people there , and
mo reover , rece ived the most alarming repo rts tha t, on accoun t of
the czar’
s d ispleasure , al l the good s andwares of the E nglishmerchants had been tak en from them; tha t they had been re
fused the paymen t of the de b ts owing to them; that the vas
sel , bui lt a t Yaroslav l , to b e sent to Shemakha for the com

a facto rs there , and for the merchan d ise b ought b y themin P ersia , had b een deta ined at A strakhan ; fin al ly that du
r ing the burn ing o f Mo scow,in the mon th of May that year ,
b y D ev let G hire i , the proper ty laid up in the E nglish sto re
house had been co nsumed , to the value of roubles .
P ro b ably the repo rt had also reached Jenk in so n tha t the czar wasfar from b e ing so licitous no t on ly about the afi
‘
airs of the E ng lish
merchan ts, o r about the o rgan izatio n of his empire
,devas
tated b y famine , plague , and the in cursions o f the C r imeans .
First o f all,the czar took v engean ce for the d ishonour o f
his pus illan imous flight before Dev let G hirei, putt ing to death
al l tho se boyars whom he was pleased to accuse o f ha v ingin s tiga ted the in vasio n ; then he was busy , choo sing him
self a br ide from amongst the beauties co llected from through
out a ll the empire ; then fo llowed the illness o f the lady
se lected , Martha S o b ak in ; the arrangemen t of the ceremon ies
of the wedd ing with her ; an d finally , gr ief for her untimelydeath , gr ief which instituted , as fun erea l rims fo r her , freshexecution s o f those who were accused o f hav ing bewitchedher l
These execut ion s seemed to calm John and to in spire himwith the conv iction that the dea th of these in testin e foes had
fi rmly esta b lished hi s personal safety . A t all ev en ts, whenJenk in son was at last admitted to his presence a t the A lexan
drovsky S loboda , and afterward s at S tar i tza to take his leav e,
John informed him that he had put o ff fo r the presen t the
secret affa irs , that is to say , the nego c iat ions about the mutualo a th to b e taken b y him an d E lizabe th to afford on e ano ther
shelter at all times . H e then announ ced that he had remitted his
d ispleasure aga inst the E nglish, giv en them back their pr iv ileges , and ordered that in future they should hav e a guard
for their pro tec tion dur ing the ir nav igation of the Vo lga fo r
traffic to coun tries beyond the Caspian S ea .
In examin ing the papers relative to Jenk inson ’
s embassy ,one is struck b y the queen ly d igni ty of E liza b eth
’
s reply to
John when he angri ly calls her «ma id » or ra ther «wen ch».
—N o merchants , she wr ites , go vern our count ry for us, but
we rule it ourse lves with the rule befitting a v irgin queenappo in ted b y G od ; and no sovereign has more obed ien t subjeeta, for which we render thank s to G o d . There is also
much d ign ity in the answer o f J ohn,when Jenk inson request
ed him, on his complain t aga in st the E nglish merchan ts , to
n ame the o fi‘
en dersz—J on sha ll no t kn ow them; I have fo rgiven
their offen ces , an swered the czar, and wha t would my pr in ce

queen for pun ishmen t?The chief aini o f Jenk in son ’
s mission was thus attain ed ; he
had resto red the trade of the Wh ite and C aspian seas to the
L ondon company ; b ut the indemn ity fo r the damage in
curred,
although promised , was n o t pa id . B e s ides which,John ’
s conduct toward s Jenk in son prov ed that the la tter had
greatly fal len from his fo rmer fav our . O f the year pas
sed b y him in Russia, (from the 26- th of June 1 571 to
the 23 - rd Jun e 1 572) he was deta ined e ight months a t
C o lmogo r ( t ill January 1 572) and a month and a half at
P ereaslav l ( F eb ruary 3 to March after his receptionb y the czar at the Sloboda , he was sen t to Tv er , where ,
with out o ccupation , he awa ited the a rr ival of the czar a t
S tarits a near ly two mon ths ( till May 23 , an d , the d ay after
he had taken leave,he was sen t back to C o lmogo r . H e was fo r

The servan t sen t b y him to N o vogorod to reca ll these things to
the czar’

o f the queen , b ut on cond ition tha t E lizabeth should likewisepun ish her messengers , Man ly and Middleton , who had beensen t to N arv a in 1 568.
O n the 23- rd of Jun e 1 572 , Jenk in son too k a fina l leave

his emb assy and presen ted the compan y with a memoria l
about his twen ty yea rs o f trave l in E urO pe , A sia ,A frica

O n the retir emen t of Jenk in son from the company’s ser

A cco rd ing to Sylveste r the principa l cause o f Jo hn ’
s ange r
was tha t E l iza b eth had no t renewed her n ego tia tio n s withhim and tha t, b y wha t he co ns idered undue pride , she wouldno t co n c lude the secret trea ty , b y the prov isions o f which she
was to ask for herself shelter in Russ ia in case of necessity ;also that she had shown no read in ess to con firm this trea ty
b y k iss ing the cross , b y causing it to b e signed b y her counc il ,o r b y seal ing it wi th the great royal
'
sea l . Satisfactio n given
to these demands , would , acco rd ing to Sylv ester , secure the
pos itio n of the E ngl ish company in Russ ia , and br ing grea t
profi t to its trade .
The co rrectn ess of Sylveste r’
s opinion is shown b y the
co nclud ing wo rds of the letter he brought from the czar ,
(Aug . 20 - th —A nd if y ouwish fo r mo re ami ty and
fr iendship from us , ponder upon that busin ess , b y which youmay increase our amity toward s you.
E l iza b e th was grea tly as ton ished a t these demands ,from
which , at Jen k inson’s las t mission two yea rs b efore , John had
seemed en tirely to desist . Knowing b y exper ien ce wha t hersub jects might expect from the despo tism o f John , she feared
to pro v oke him,b ut a t the same time mad e a last a ttempt to
av o id the d irect fulfi lmen t of his wishes . This was , to sen d
Sylv ester aga in to the czar . Sy lv ester’
s ins truc tio ns are drawn upwith remarka b le talen t . H e wa s to state ,
that the queen wasa b o ve a ll things , anxious to preserve the sec re t o f her nego tiati

airs in E ngland , tho se cere
mon ies would ha v e en tailed the par tic ipation o f so many o f
he r d ign ita r ies that the preservatio n o f secresy would have
been impo ss ib le ; tha t to allowa deed already s igned b y her to
b e afterwards sign ed b y her counc il , would b e , acco rd ing to
E ngl ish customs,in compa tible with her ro ya l d ignity. Still
more strik ing is the reason given b y E liza b e th fo r r efusingto ask , like the cza r
,for refuge in Russ ia in case of neces

Sylvester found the czar John a t that incredi ble per iod of

E liza b e th saw tha t she could no longer de lay , and hasten ed

when he heard of it , sa is ng « G od s will b e don n l»During the three succeed ing years , John seems to hav e had
no particular in tercourse with E nglan d . The cares a tten d ing
the war with Sweden and especially with P o land , ev iden tly
engrossed all his attention ; and care was indeed necessary , no t
so much for preserv ing the conquests made in Livon ia , as to
provide for the pro tec tion of the Russian territory : a lready
several of the n o rthwestern pro v inces were ov errun b y the
en emy. The czar had need , and v ery immed iate need , o f
warl ike mater ials—copper,lead , sa lps tre , sulphur , powder ,
and such l ike . To deman d the send ing o f such articles , John
determin ed to despa tch to E lizabeth ov erland a person in
the emplo ymen t o f the compan y ,a certain Jerome H orsey ,
who had a ttracted the czar’s atten tion b y his ready wit
an d b y his accoun ts o f the manner o f b uild ing and armin gships in E ngland . H orsey in curred grea t dangers ; he wa s

o b liged to tra verse a ll L ivo n ia an d Cour land , where he mightb e se ized b y the P o les a s a Russ ian spy, P omeran ia and
Meck lsn b urg, where he ran the same r isks from the Swedes;it wa s on ly on arriv ing at Lubeck and H amburgh tha t he
could con s ider his l ife in safety . That the czar himse lf
thought the a ttempt very ven turesome , is shown b y the
impe ria l o rder that John ’
s letter should b e enc lo sed in the
false sides o f a wooden flask con tain ing spirits , whichH orsey was to carry hidden in the mane o f his horse . A fter
man y ad ven tures , H o rsey succeeded in reach ing H amburgh ,and from thence go t to London an d deliv ered to E lizabethhe lette r taken from the flask . I n the spr ing o f 1 581 he
b rought back to Russ ia thir teen ships laden with the waresdemanded b y the cza r , to the value o f pounds . The
czar mo st grac iously praised H o rsey fo r the rapid and success
ful fulfi lmen t o f his trust; the queen rewa rd ed him b y nomi
nat ing him esquire of her body . H encefo r th H orsey took
the lead amo ngst the E nglish merchants at Moscow, and con
tinned to do so , ev iden tly b y his own choice , till afte r the
dea th o f John and the first years of the reign o f Theodo re .
The fo llowing year 1 582 , John sen t as amb assador to
E lizabe th Theodo re A ndreev ich P isssmsky and with himthe un dersecretary E piphanius N eoodacha Vassil iev ich Khovralef. They were empowered to b r ing to a con clus ion the
negoc iation o f the league o f lo v e and friendship and to pro
pose a marriage fo r the czar with a relation o f the queen ,«P r incess Khan tin sky » i . s . with Lady Mary H as tings , daughterof the E ar l o f Huntingdon . P issemsky

G iles Crowwas also instructed to in form the queen priva telytha t the czar in tended coming to E ngland .
This in ten tio n , however , d id n o t remain‘
a secret; publicrumour ascribed it to « the wicked G erman magic ian , ca lled
E liseus» ( B omel ius) who, according to the Russian an nals ,
had in stigated the czar to flee to E ngland a nd there marry .
This is also very plainl y men tion ed b y H orsey , who . during

B y the a id o f these ind isputa b le facts , it may b e po si tivelya ffi rmed tha t John had con ce ived the idea o f a fl ight to E ng

tha t the trad ition a s to his in tend ed marr iage with E lizabethis pro ved to b e en tirely without founda tio n .

hereupon , during the stay

F inally, S ir William Russel,who had b een n amed to accom

B owss received the mo st explic it in struc tion s;—respectingthe treaty o f al liance , he was to ins ist o n the in sert ion o f the

her ill health , an d then , if the czar in sisted , b y saying tha t
the lady’
s paren ts would n o t giv e the ir co n sen t, and that the
queen had n o power to oblige them to do so . I n case o f the
czar coming to E nglan d , he was promised b y the queen a
welcome as affectionate as the most beloved ally could expec ta n d that every thing should b e done fo r him which the
queen ’

B owss was to b e the con firmation to the company of a ll its

exemption from a ll duties .
S everal documents hav e been preserved re lating to the

tha t he had no instruc tion to n ame these lad ies ; but if E liza

I t is easy to comprehen d how much ha tred was felt b y theRussian s toward s the detes ted match -make r, who arrogan tly

The delusio n of B owss was no t o f lo ng dura tion ; o n the

half- d ressed after h is b ath,

F o r mo re than two mon ths , B owss was kept in this confine

Mo scow an d C happel to Kazan ; the Mo scow agen t Trumbullwent to meet them at C o lmogo r , and dur ing his absenceen trusted the a ffa irs o f the Mo scow house to H o rsey .

the answer . to the letter b rought b y him was sen t b y H o rsey .
I t was highly impo r tan t to H o rsey to fo resta ll the n ews whichmust get to London o f his a r b itrary ac ts , an d his malve rsat io n s

Meck lenburg and P ome ran ia , he reached H amburgh, and
from then ce wen t b y sea to London . it is ev iden t tha t he
succeded in giv ing a favourable account o f the affa irs o f the

felt conv in ced that his power d epended o n the dura tion o f the
czar’
s l ife , was anxious for the continuation o f the imper ial
race, and lo ng before the depar ture o f H orsey had spo kento him on that subject; such, a t le ast, may b e inferred from
his letter to H o rsey Aug . 1 5 , 1 585 . « C on cernynge thos matteres

—XLV
E liza b e th’
s le tter b rought b y H o rsey to the czar is wr itten ina most conc iliato r y tone ; she almo st apo logizes fo r B ows s , and
expla in s his conduct b y his igno rance tha t it was customa ry to
appear without arms on firs t comi ng before the so vere ign
after his fa ther s dea th; she excuses the secret journey o f
the messenger to Liv on ia b y the desire of P eaco ck to send
his accoun t to the company as quick ly as po ssi b le ; she
v ouches that Chappel is no t a Lub s cker b ut an E ngl ishman ;she begs the czar to remi t his wra th aga ins t her merchan ts an d
to give them back the ir char ter with its full priv ileges; butshe rejects with ind ignation the accusation s o f B eckman
ca l ling them slander .
W hen H orsey returned in summer , o rder was given to
deta in the midwife at Vo logda ; i t ma y b e suppo sed tha t the
Russian people , gen erally illd ispo sed to fo re ign doc tors ,
would have thought it schnd alous to al low the imperia lchild to b e ushered in to the wo rld b y a here tic midwife ; a t
a ll even ts after be ing deta ined a t Vo logd a a full year , she
was sen t back thence stra ight to E n glan d . H o rsey, h imself,was we llcomed b y G odo o n o f with his fo rme r k in dness, and
after receiv ing a new char ter , in August o f the fo llowingyear , 1 587, was aga in de spatched to E l izabeth .
B ut this time H o rsey d id n o t meet with the same reception from the compan y; on the con trary an accoun t wasdeman d ed from him of h is arbitrar y measures , o f which the
news had reached London ; mo reov er he lea rned , that to come
to a clearer un derstand ing of the real state o f E nglish affa irs
in Mo scow, it had been dec ided to send thither her majes ty’
s
master o f requests , G i les Fletcher , and wi th him an accred i
ted agen t o f the company, Austin Fulk s s . H o rsey dete rmined
on secretly lea v ing L ondon,
and re turn ed to Russia . B ut
here also , he met with a grea t change in his reception : thecause o f this change was the o ld enemy of the E ngl ish trade ,
the secreta ry S chelkalof who had a personal an imos ity aga inst
H orsey o n account o f some abus ive wo rds b y which on one
occasion H orsey had o ffended h im.
—XLVI
A t the v ery b egin n ing o f the company’

o ne of its agen ts for tha t trade was a ce rta in A n thony Marsh;a t a la ter per io d Marsh , without giving up h is accoun ts, too k

,Ma rsh tran sferred his personal de b ts

the ir debto r and their adversa ry , yet S che lkalof o rdered the
who le o f the sum cla imed (mo re than r oub les) to b erecov ered from the property o f the company , found ing this
d ecis ion on the a sser tion o f Marsh,that amongs t o thers he
had fo r pa rtn er H o rsey , a t the time when the la tter man a

was a letter in H orsey’

some years befo re , in fo rmed the agen t a t C o lmogor of his
in ten tio n to fi t out vesse ls to seize al l fo re ign ships comingto the W h ite S ea ; the o ther was the depo s itio n o f H orsey
’
s
E ngl ish serv an t that he heard h im once say o f Theo dore
l van o v ich « tha t he was -mee ter to b e a fr iar tha n a k ing»!

I n the mean time,the examin a tio n of Mar sh’

Fletcher had n o t ye t reached Vo logda when o rder wasrece ived b y its gov er n o r to deta in him in that town : the reason
o f th is was the ar riva l of a n ew E ngl ish messenger , G eo rge
B owes , who b rought with h im Marsh ,an d the repo r ts o f the
enquiry held at Lo n don about his debts . The ex amin a tion was

«govern or of the empires of Kazan and A strakhan , B o r is Theo

This dec ision was commun ica ted to Fletcher b y the governoro f the prov in ce of Dwina R o sgildey Lub o o chen in of, whowas a lso d irected to surrender Marsh to him and to arrange
ev erything for the departure o f the ambassado r . A ccord in gly
F letcher,tak in g with him H o rsey and Marsh
,left fo r E ngland
a t the end of July ,or the beginn ing of August , 1 589 .
I t is curious to compare the original where Elizab eth speaks of H orsey,with the contemporary Russian translation . Elizab eth wri tes : ,,W e marvelnot a little that he so unwisely reso lved to depart , and we do no t supposethat the complaints (presented against him)concern your highness or yourcounsellors“. The translation says: ”A b out this we much marvel that helike a tool as he is, did so , and we feel assured that b y this contention b e
caused much annoyance to the persons ab out your majesty .
H orsey must have b een po ssessed of much clev e rness and
impuden ce ; o therwise it would b e d iffi cult to und erstan d how,
after run n ing away from E nglan d to Russ ia , and b eing sen t
b ack again from Russ ia to E nglan d , he yet once more co n tr i
v ed so far to propitia te E liza b eth , tha t, no later them A pril inthe en suing yea r , she aga in sen t him to Mo scow
,with a letter
in which she reproaches the czar with the afi‘
ro n ts offered to her
amb assador b y the an cient an tago n ist of the E nglish—S chelka
lof; she des i res to kn ow whether they were done with the
cza r’
s knowledge ; and in con clusion , begs htm to remo ve h is
d ispleasure from H orsey , who had been exposed to it b y the
ma l ice o f his enemies .
I t must b e b orne in mind , as the documents in the L on
don State P aper O ffice pr ov e , tha t the merchan ts of the L ondon company strenuously endeavoured to preven t H orsey
being sen t aga in to Mo scow, and tha t his b eing sen t wasen tirely owing to the ins istan ce o f S ir Fran c is W a lsingham.
I t is a well kn own fac t tha t this illustr ious d iplomatist,although himse lf incorruptible (he d ied almost in po ver ty)was remarkable fo r hi s double dea ling in po litical ma tters ,and especially chose as his agen ts , or to speak pla inly as
his spies,men o f doub tful reputation , as b e ing mo re likely to
b e devo ted to h im,and less scrupulous as to the mean s fo r
accomplishing his orders . I t can , scarcely, therefore, b e
erron eous to surmise that the cho ice o f W alsingham fell
upon H o rsey for the very rea son that his mission to the czar
would n o t b e agreeable , and that he also under took to fulfill
an o ther trust l ikely to b e a ttended with n o sma ll r isk b efo re
his arr iv a l a t Mo scow: he was to give n otice in H amburghand o ther H anseat ic town s tha t E lizabeth prohibited the
co nveyance o f any k in d o f goods to Spa in ; he was to pass onto C o logn e and assist there at the propo sed assembly o f the
queen ’
s pro testan t al lies (which did not take place);—thenceto Copenhagen for negoc iation s with the king of D enmark ,who was hostile to E l izabeth fo r oppo sing the marr iage of
the D an ish pr incess with James o f S co tlan d , afterwa rds
wro te to G o doo nof in the same friend ly style , making exon

You shal l use him and suche ceremon ies vsed as

the contrary of the state of the sa id emperour , of who s poweran d wisdom we haue good repor ts made to v s b y our sub iects
trading in his coun treie , we doo think that our said seruant
hath mistaken the in ten con of the sa id empero rs speche vutohim. A nd yet n euer the lee for the clearer vnderstand ing of
his wyn ds , we haue willed you to repets this ma tter , therin
to kn ow cleerly his in tencon , assuring him tha t if any mis

are sub iectes a t gods will to mutation s and changes)we dooassure him,
he shall b e frend ly rece iued in to our domin ion s,
and shall finds assured frend ship in v s toward the mayuts
nan ce of a ll his just causes , in as good sorts as if he had
spec ia l] graun te or couen an ts from v s in that b ehalfe sign ed
with our hand,and sealed with our seals .
A nd in such go od gen eral] sor ts we wo ld haue y ousa tisfis

him fo r priuiligs to the benefit of our merchan ts . I n whichcause our special] in tencon is to haue you to tran s ]! and
that is our sp eciall cause of sendyng you thither .
I tem we haue ordsyn sd tha t you shall presen t him from
v s with a riche stand ing cupp o f the weight o f ouncs,con

E lizab eth to I van E asily.
There are extant in the S tate Paper O ffice three rough draftsof the let ters of Queen Eliza b eth to the C zar J ohn Vassilievich,which were to b e sen t in answer to his two letters b rought b yhis amb assador A ndrew Sovin and dated from Vologda on the
eo- th of June 1 569 . F rom those drafts it appears that at first it
was proposed to give but one answer to the two letters; b utafterward s (it may b e presumed at the request of Sovin) theoriginal draft was divided into two separa te ones . ofwhich thesecond (with the excep tion of the commencement) was at firs t
inserted in the primitive draft . These letters are here pub lishedin their fina l separate form under 25 and 16 26. The co r
rections in the original are in the handwri ting of L B urleigh
those made in the first dra ft are printed in italics; those in the
las t are inclosed in b rackets .

The copy of a letter sent to the ofMosoeuis, b y Christopherurreugh, anno 1670.
Mo st mightie empereur , e tc . W hereas S ir W i l l i am G a r
r a r d and his felowship the compan y o f E nglish merchan ts ,this last win ter sen t hither to the N arue three ships lad en
with merchand ise , which wa s left here , and with it Ch r i s top he r H e d s d e n one o f the sayd felowship , and the ir chiefs deer
in this place , who when hes eame fi rs t hither , a nd v n til] such
time as hes had d ispa tched these ship s from hence,was in
hope o f goods to lad s twelue o r thirteen s sa iles of good ships ,
against this shipping ,wherefo re he wro te vn to the sayd sir
W i l l i am G a r r a r d and his cempan ie to send hither this sp ring
the sayd numb er of thirteen s ships . A nd b ecause that in the ir
comming hither wee found the freeb oo ters on the sea , and sup
posing this yeere that they would he very strong, he therefo re
gene the said air W i l l i am and his companie aduise to furn ish
the sayd numb e r of ships so strongly , as they should b ee a b le
to withstand the force o f the fres b oe ters : whereupon they haue
acco rd ing to his aduice sen t this yeere thirteen s ships together
well furn ished with men and mun ition , and all o th er n ecessa o
rise fo r the warree , of which 1 3 ships W i l l i am B ur r ough
o ne o f the sa id fe lewship is cap ta in s gen era l] , vn to whom
1 02 Ne. 27.- 1 570
there was gin suin charge , that if has me t with an y the D an sk e
free b eo ters or whatseeuer ro b b ers and thesnes that are en imies
to your highnesse , he should doe his b est to apprehend and
take them. I t so hapned that the tenth day o f this mon eth the
sayd W i l l i amwith his fl eets , met with sixs ships of the free
b oo tet e neere vnto an island called Tuttes , which is a b out 50
versts from N arus , vn to which freeb oo ters he with his fleets
gaue chase , and teeke of them the admirall , where in were
left but three men , the res t were fled to shore in their b o ats
amongst the weeds v po n Tuttee , on which ship he set fire and
b urn t her . H e also teeks fours more o f these ships which are
new here , and o ne ship eecaped‘
him: out ofwhich fours sh ips
some o f the men fled in their b eaten and so escaped , o thers
we re slaine in fight , and some of them when they saw they
could n o t escape , cast themse lues willingly in to the sea and
were drowned . S o that in these fine ship s were left but 83 men .
The sa id W i I . B e r o ug h when he came h ither to N ame ,
find ing here C h r i s t o p h e r H o d s d e n aforenamed , b o th the
said C h r i s t o p h e r and W i l l i am together , in the name
o f air W i l l i am G a r r a r d and the rest of the ir who le com
pan is a nd fs le W sh ip , d id presen t vn to your highnesse of tho se
t’
rsc b oo ters tak en b y our ships 82 men , which we deliuered
here v n to Knez Vo iuo da . the 1 3 o f this mo neth . O ne man o f
those t’
reeb oo ters we haue k ept b y vs,who se name is H aun c e
S n a r k s a capta ins . A nd the cause why we haue done it isthis ; when wee should haue ds l iuered him with the rest of
his felowes vn to the ve iuodas s o fficers , there were o f our
E nglishmen mo re then 50 which fe ll on the ir kn ees vnto vs ,
requesting tha t he might b e reserued in the ship , and caried
b ack in to E ngland : and the cause why they so earnestly in
treated fo r him,is , tha t some o f these en r E nglishmen had
b ene taken with free b oo ters , and b y his meanes had the ir

A nd when wee d id send s our amb assado n r in to E ngla nd , a b out
tho se our grea t a nd wa ightis a t’fa irs s
,to con clud e the same
with the queens o ttr s is te r , our amb a ssadon r co n lde ends no thing
fo r wan t o f such a ssuran ce as was requisite in pr incely a lfa ires ,accord ing to the man er of a ll coun treys , b ut was d ismissed
vn t o v s aga ins , with le tters o f sma ll effec t, touching the same ,
and no amb a ssado nr sen t with him from the quee ns : wh ichc aused v s to thin ks
,tha t our p rin cely a tfa ires were se t as ide ,
and l ittle regarded , wherewith wee were a t tha t time much
grisusd : fo r the which cause , and fo r the sa il] b ehan iour o f
your merchan ts , resident in our domin io ns (who haue d iners
wayes transgressed and b roken o nr laws s , l ining wilfully ina l the ir do ings)we d id lay our b ean ie d isp leasure vpon them.
and d id take away from them the ir p riniledge , commaund ingtha t the same throughout all our domin ion s , should b e v oyd ,
and o f non e e ffe ct : and thereupon d id write to the queens oursister , touching our griefes .
A nd nowe her highnesss hath sen t vn to v s aga ins , you
her amb assadonr , with her louing letters , and full mind s , whichwe do e than keftilly rece ia s , and are there b y fully sa tisfied .
A nd fo r tha t our p rincely , and secret a ttaires were n o t fin ished
to our c on ten tatio n at our time appo in ted , accord ing to our
expecta tion , we do e n ow lean s a ll those ma tters , and se t them
as ide fo r the time , b ecause our mind s is nowe o therwise chan
ged , but hereafter when occasion sha ll moons vs to the like ,
wee will then talks of those matters aga ins . A nd for tha t it ha th
pleased the queen s our louing sister , to send s vn to v s a t this
presen t, and doeth desire to con tinue in friendship with v s for
euer (which wee do s gratefully accep t , and willingly agree to
the same) wee o f our goodn esss fo r her highnesss sake , willnot on ely from hencefoo r th put away , and fo rge t a ll our

to thei r prin iledges , and l i b erties , in , and throughout all our
domin ion s , and will signifi e the same b y our le tte rs , in a ll
townes an d c ities , where the sa id merchants do tra tfique , and
we will shewe them fauon r as a foretime , if they dessrue no t
the contrary . And if the queens our sister had no t sen t thee
A n t h o n y vn to v s a t this present , G od knoweth what weshould haue d one to the sa id mer chan ts , or whether we wouldhaue called b ack our indigna tion .
Then 1 humb ly b eseeched his ma - tis , to let me know the
particular on'
eness commi tted b y the sa id merchan ts , and the
o ffende rs names , to the intent I might mak e repo rt thereof, vn to
the queens s ma—tis , my mis trcs , accord ingly , tha t the sa id
offende rs might receiue inst pun ishmen ts fo r the ir deserts : b ut
he sa id , I should no t know them, b ecause he had clesrsly t e
mitted al o ffences : and furthe r, that it was no t pr incely to
fo rgiue , and after to accuse the parties, where b y her ma - ttes
d isp leasure might fall vpon them a t home . No twithstand ing Id id a fter vnderstan d some pa rt thereo f, b y o ther meanes .
Then his ma - tie proceeding in tal ks , said : as touching the
articles of request , concern ing the marchan ts a ffaires , which
youd id yesterday deliner vn to our sec re tary , we haue no t
onely read the same our se lfe , but also haue appo in ted our
sa id secre tary to declare v n to you our mind , and answers to
the same . A nd for tha t we a re now vpon our iourn sy towa rd sour b o rde rs , and will depar t from hen ce sho r tly , we will d ismisse
you to the queen s our louing s ister , your mistrs s , with our

you to sa fe c on duc t you to your ships : and o f our goodneswill gins you v ic tua ls , b o a tes , men , and po st horses , so man y
as you sha ll n eeds . A nd therewith his ma - tie standing vp ,
and putting o ff his cappe , sa id vn to me these wo rds : D oe our
hearty commenda tions v n to our louing sister , queen s E liza b eth ,
vn to whom we wish long life ,with happ ie successe: and
he rewith his highnes extend ed his hand to me to k isss , and
commanded his sonne , sitting b y him, to send the l ike com

Youhave sen t to us your messenger D a n i e l S y l v e s t e r
with your letter ; and in your letter youwrite to us ab out theletters wh ich were b rought to you in the mon th of July ; and
from the letters which D a n i e l your in terpre ter b rought un to
you, youhav e understo od that we have shown grea t favo rto your merchan ts , ha ve allowed the ir d irec to rs T h o ma s
B a n n i s t e r , G e o f r e y Duc k e t and N i c h o l a s P r o c t o r ,
accord ing to your demand , to have free trad e in our realms .
A nd what have we done in the b usin ess o f T h o ma s G l o v e r
and R a l p h R ut t e r an d their con federates who l ived d ice rderly and did much harm?- we have d riven them out of our
emp ire . A nd we d id it from our love , for that youho nor as
and send us often your gree tings ; b ecause the said G l o v e r
d id no t trade fo r E ngland , but on ly cheated his compan ion s ,
who d id no t trad e acco rd ing to our pr iv ileges but b rought trade
from o ther coun tries, from F rance and G erman y . A nd your
in terp re te r D a n i e l to ld you tha t when he was in our towno f N ovgo ro d he was apprised b y our governors that manyE nglishmen stoo d up again st us with the Swede an d fought
agains t our peo p le ; you wish to know from us if what yourin terpreter D a n i e l has to ld to you b e true ,
as it is no t known
to you, b ecause you do no t in tend to change your wo rd and
1 64 16 36—1 574 n r . 20 .
yonr pledged faith and do no t wish to sufl'
er b y them; and
will no t in future send a ny merchan ts but those who are
faithful to you, an d known b y name , and trus ty; tha t those
who have b een in the lands of our enemies , should no t come
to trade in our land ; and tha t youwill con trive that such d isagreements should no t con tinue b etween us an d that we should
no t b ear any ind ign ation against your merchants . A nd you
grea tly pray us that we should punish these E nglish merchan ts ,who come without your order and apart from your merchants ,spo il the trade and promo te quarrels and treasons b etween us .
A n d in case it should b e so , your merchants sen t many wareswith W i l l i am Me r r i c k as their chief
, pray ing that weshould favor him and k eep him safe . A nd tha t the sa id T h o
ma s G l o v e r who trad ed in our emmre and too k from his

under his s ignature and remained in d e b t for roub les ;and that nowwhen he came to you from Moscow he has b yjudgemen t b een pro ved guil ty . and lies now in gao l for this
money and has no thing to make p aymen t of it. A nd youpra yus
, accord ing to our ma - ties former priv ileges to pay it out o f
h is property to your merchan ts that they should no t suffer
any loss , as he has no thing mo re to repay it . A nd tha t the
rumour has come to youthat we have tak en fromyour merchantsand from your soc iety near Mo scow in th e A lexandro v ska ia
S lob oda E nglish wares to the amoun t o f roub les,which
sum we took upo n us to rep ay to your sa id merchan ts . A nd
tha t your amb assad o r A n th o n y J e n k i n s o n to ld you that
b efore your le tter came they had received their money, for
which you give us thanks . A nd you also pray us much that
we should fav ora b ly receive the request of your merchan ts toorder their deb ts to b e repaid them b y our sub jects and b y
o thers, acco rd ing to our priv ilege , which we have gran ted
them that they might willingly b ring the ir wares into our
empire and faithfully and trustfully serve us . A nd that after

your coun try accord ing to y our request , that they may come
and liv e in our domin ions un der our emp ire , and traffi c with
a ll so rts of wares without excep tion , and go an d trad e
through a ll our domin io n s without pay ing an y custom. A nd
the merchan ts o f your coun try b egan to live in our domin ionsun der our emp ire jo in ing our traito rs—whoever b e trays usb ecomes the ir friend—an d in every way they b egan to give
them a id , and they con cealed the goo ds of our tra ito rs , liv ingin our emp ire no t as b ecomes merchan ts but thiev ing and
spy ing and tak ing the side of our en emies the Lithuan ian and
the Swede . A nd your sub jects b egan to come with the Swed es
to make war on our b orders . E ven un til n ow they continuallydo ev ery mischief and in iquity to our ma - ty and ev erywhere
and in ev ery way do prejud ice to our realm and have com
mitted man y iniquities in our emp ire , and this was the cause
of what b efell them. F o r the future youmust o rder that tho se
o f your merchan ts who come to us , should b e good men , whoshould b e on ly occup ied with their trad e , b e trusty and no t

W hereas you wro te in your letter to our ma- ty , tha t

Swed e .—I t is no t sui ta b le to give b ack these goods , and tho se
who ga ve them must loose them, b ecause they gave them
to an ev il mind ed man . A nd there is no coun try , where one,
who comes from a foreign land , can liv e b y ev il prac tises
and b y spying. A nd he ought to b e judged and co ndemned
no t only to the loss of his goo d s but even to the loss of his
head . E v ery merchan t in foreign coun tries deals in trad e and
no t in spy ing and in ev il practises . A n d these your sub jects

(G lo ver)we sen t them to you b efo re this an d you ought no t
to wr ite to us any mo re ab out them,the more so as A n tho n y

A nd first for our merchaunts youmay assuer him tha t

To conclude therefore you shall assure the emperor from

Th0 following supplement has evidently b een added in consequenceof the proceeding note of Daniel Sylvester ( yids
W hereas we concsavo the secrsate message you delivered
vuto vs from the empero r to stand in twoe po in ts : The one
that he should mislike our refusall to confirms b y o the the
league agreed on at the tyms of his amb assad or b sy ingo here ,as that it was no t sub scrib ed b y our eownssllors hands : theo ther , that he found it straunge that was shoul d make some
scruple to require like assurance of refuge at his hands , as
wee gave vppon his request made vuto vs for the same growntod vuto him.
F for the fyrst you shall dec lare vnto him, that thougho
wee had well hoped that he had concsavod so honora b ly o f
v s that n o o the could have drawen vs to a more sinecure
perfo rmance o f our promise deliv ered in writyngs signed withour hand , than the great respect wee b ears to the mayn tsn
ence of our prin c ely word , as in honor woo are b ownd : yetthe only and chiefs cawss whywee yoe lded no t to the confirma tion of the same b y o the grows of the
had to have the con tents of the sayd long (athynge no lssse earnestly b y him required , then iudged b y vs
of it ss lfe most necessaris eonsiderynge of what importan ce itwas towards him)which with no po ssib ilitio could have b een
performed with that so llemn itie that is vsnal l in that b eha lfe .
F for the leagues which was confi rms b y o the doe ord inar ily
passe our greats scale : which can no t b e done but tha t thesame must runn o througho the hands of so great a numb re of
our min isters as in no po ss ib ilitio they can b e koept sscrsat .
A nd as towchyngs his mislikyngo that the league was no t
signed b y our cown cell, y oumaye tell him that suche thingesas are s igned b y our se lfe are never sign ed b y our cowncell .
If: 38. 1 575 us . 165
I t‘
for that it is held a kynd of a b asemon t of the sta te and qualitiewoo should to hav e any ioyn sd with v s in that b ehalfe .
F for the o ther po int towchingo a request to b e made b yv s vuto him for assuran ce of refuge in case of nocossitie , youshall declare vn to him that yf our sub iects should never so
litlo eoncsave that woe grows into an ie doub t or susp icion of
an ie chawnge o r al teration in them towards vs (as was knowsthey woul d b y oonsontyngs to ths makings o f suche a request)y t would b rood so dangerouso a mislikyngs in them toward svs
, as might put v s in per ill of our esta te . W hichs things wooknows our good b ro ther , in respect of the great goodwill hepro tests to b oars towards v s , wold b e lo tha to draws vs vuto .

dust; and verily, the hand of G od weighed heavily on B ussia during that eventful period : the Crimeans burnt l oscow; theplague laid waste whole provinces ; the burning and ransackingof Livonian towns did not prevent Livonia, Lithuania and Po
land from holding in check the whole armed force of Russia .
It was at this dreadful time that Czar J ohn thought of leaving Russia altogether; already he made overtures to E lizab ethfor shelter in the event of internal or external hostility drivinghim out of Russia; already b e built the fortress of Vologda,
where he accumulated his treasures in provision of a flight to
E ngland . And as a preparatory stop to this final issue, he putto the highest proof the submission of his sub jects: he gave upthe ostensib le part of his power to a stranger, to a vessel, to
a prisoner, to a more puppet he declared to b e G rand dukeof all Russia, S ime o n B c k b o o l a t o v i c h , who had only coased the previous year to b e the mahommodan S s a in B oo l o t
,
son of the Astracan refugee, Ka l‘
B o o l o t.
Daniel Sylvester seems to have arrived at l oscowand to havehad his first audience ab out the time of this pseudo- resignationof the throne of Russia (or rather, of the national domains of
the Russian people) to Simon; and John, mistrusting the resultof this daring stroke of his policy, openly speaks to him ab outhis having resigned the throne . B ut rumours reach himthat umb assadors have arrived on his frontiers with a mission to himfrom the Roman emperor; and that which he thinks useless toconceal from the messenger of the far off queen of E ngland , he
considers ab solutely necessary to withhold from the knowledge of
his doub tful confederate and neighb our, the emperor l aximilian;officers are immediately dispatched with the strictest orders to
conduct themwithout allowing them to hold any communicationb y the way, prob ab ly, to prevent any possib ility of their b eingapprised of the puppet showgoing on in l oscow: czar J ohn
has the amb assadors conducted to one of his reserved townsl oshaiah
, whither he repairs himself on the 1 5 - th J anuary 1 576.
173
The amb assadors (Kob cntzel and Printz) are dazzled b y the
splendour of their reception : Kob entzel declares ,,on his knightly
honour, that neither in Rome nor in Spain did he most with a
more summuous reception“. Theconferences terminate agreeab ly to
the intentions of the czar; and on the some day 29 January),whenthe amb assadors take their departure ignorant as it seams, of theexistence of a ny other Lord in Russia but the one whom theyhave seen
,Sylvester is admitted to the presence of the czar
John,who declares to him that , although he seems to have on
throned another, yet he has not so far resigned, but that he isab le to take the imperial dignity unto him again
“.
No documents, as yet known , prove howlong this contemptib lo comedy of a mock king lasted; its very existence seems tob e vouched for only b y very fewdeeds extant in copies . This ab
sence of information on so curious a point of history lends ad
ditional importance to the account of even so mean and sub ordinote an official as Daniel Sylvester the interpreter , employedb y the society of l archants trading in Russia“
; an accountwhich till lately lay unheeded among the documents of the
State Paper Office in London and which indisputab ly and dis
tinctly records the statement taken from the lips of the Terrib le
czar John that he once upon a time resigned a portion of his
sovereign rights, were it only over a part of Russia, to the 00spring of his conquered vassal the Tartar czar S s a in B o o l o t ,alias the Christian G rand Duke S ime o n alias the sightless

Oopie of instructions ginsuto Sir J erome B owss.
W hereas our good b rother K. and great Duke of all Rus
sia hath of late sent an emb assadour vn to vs to treats withv s of certo ine matters touching his sornico , which require somean swer from v s b y some especial] minister to b e sen t thetor . W e
haue thought goo d to make cho ise of you for the serv ice as
well in respect of the op inion concs iued b y v s o f your suffi
clancy to perfum e it to our good lik ing, as for the satisfac
tion of the said emperor , who b y his said amb assadour re
quested tha t a gen tleman so qualified , as in our op inion you
are , might b e sent vuto him.
H auing therefo re recoined this charge from vs, and b eingarriuod there , our pleasure is that after ds liuery o f our letters
accompanied with such complemen ts, as in like cases are re
quisito you shall gins him to vnderstand , in how acceptab le
sort we ta ke the send ing of an emb assadour vn to vs, recoin
ing thereb y great sat isfaction an d co n tentmen t b y the re
port his said emb assadour made vn to v s of his good estate
as we ll o f health, as of peacea b le and happy gouusrmon t,which was d sliuered vn to v s in so good so rt , as that we can
no t but think our so lfos grea tly hon ored b y him in send ing so
202 E 45 —1 583 nu.
graue and wise a coun sellour and min ister to vs,who ha th
no t fa i led to performs such good ofi‘
ices as b y h is careful ]
traua il therein it seemeth he recoined in charge , and werecommitted to his trust .
A nd as one part o f his message was to treats with v s o f
a league defensins and ofi‘
snsiue , so you shall declare vn to
him, that for his satisfaction therein , and to mak e it appear
vn to him, how accep tab le that motion was vnto v s , we haueo rdered vn to certa in o o f our conn co ll to conforr with his said
min ister therea b out, b y whom he sha ll vnderstand , what re
so lution is taken here , the same b eing delinered v nto him in
writting , wherewith we hope he will rest con tented , hauing
yeeldod (as on e tha t grea tly d esireth h is sa tisfac tion)s o farr
fo rth , as may stand with our hon nor , and due considera tion
had of our p r esen t state .
A nd for tha t his min ister d id no t at the first rest satisfied
in some po in ts o f our sa id an swer , which we caused to b e
d el inered to him in writting youshal l declare v n to him (incase an y occa sion b e there vn to ministred) tha t we thought
good to refert o the further enlargement o f our mind there in
to you, whom we haue expressely charged to mak e such de
l inery o f our said mean ing in our sa id an swer, as we doub tno t shall remoue all matter o f doub t, and wo rk that good ac
cepta tion in h im o f our sa id answer as we desire .
A nd therefo re you shall declare vn to him first that whereas his said min ister required of v s , tha t the treatty might
b e sett dowue in the same forms that he delinered it vnto v s ,
and our an swer accord ingly to each po in t, we thought goo d for
the b etter e xplana tion of the matters therein comprised , an d
that our answer might b e more o rderly framed to cause it to
b e so d istinctly sett down e in articles , as is presented to him,
no t doub ting, but he will conceine well of our mean ing therein
,con s ider ing that it was d one vppon no o ther respects ,
but fo r the b etter furtherance o f that he most desired , wherein after was had yeeldod our an swer to such demand s
,as b y
his min ister wa s propound ed , we foun d it exped ien t to adds
the reun to a request o f our own s , te nd ing to no o the r end, but

them, these three yeares last past, namely the first years one
thousand roub les, and the last years 600 roub les yearly , con
trary to all priuiledge in that b ehalf prouided , and we therein moued his min ister here to b e a meanes to him that the
said new exaction might b e remoued ; youshall in our n ame
pray our good b rother the K. that in that b eha lf our sub iects
may b e relieued , and accord ing to his former fauors b estowed vppon them, v sed as the sub iects of so frien dly as confe
derate , as we are , and means to b e vn to him.
H auing in this sort delinered our mean ing vn to him vppon
the treaty of amity , you shal l declare vuto him, touching the
secrette message and request he made vn to v s , b y this said
minister for and concerning the matter of marriage how the
lady mo tioned is fa llen in to such an ind isposition o f health
as that there is small hope she euer will rocouer such strength
as is requisite for the state , especially considering the longan d tedious voyage , she were to make , in case should vppon
report of his amb - r and v iew of her p icture , haue an y d ispo
sition to proceede therein,and therefore our pleasure is . you
v se all the b est perswasions you can to'
disswade him from
that purpose , laying b efore him the weaknes o f the lady ,
when she is in b est state of health , and d ifii culties, that areo therwise like to he stood vp pon b y the lady, and her frends ,
who can hardly b e iudured to b e so farr separate the one
from the other , whereb y the greatest comfort of them that are
users of b lood are cutt of, that vnlesse their good wills and
consen t might b e procured (which is a matter v ery doub tfull),the match could no t in any sort b e b rought to passe , considering tha t in those cases
,as ouer the rest of our sub iects ,
so espec ially ouer the n o b le houses , and famil ies , we haueno further authority then b y waye of perswasions to inducethem to l ike of such matches as are tendred them, and b y
good apparan te reason s maie tend to their aduancemcnt .
A nd for the o ther motion delinered vs in like secre tt
manner ( b y the interpreter , as hereto fo re it hath b ene b y someof our owns ministers sen t v n to him) vppon occas ion , as those
times ofi’red , touching hisse lfe repa ire hether in to our do
206 16 45 . 1 583 an .
Lastly our pleasure is you shall earnestly recomend to our
good b ro ther the K. the send ing home of J o h n F e n s h a mo ne of his apo thscaryes , who se father b e ing a man very aged ,desireth greatly to see him b efore he d ieth
,and to leave him
possession of such lands and good s as he hath gotten for him.

the hands o f your sec retary; a nd tho se goo d s exceed wha t isdue from him to anyon e . A nd our coun sellors to o k his one
wer in wr iting, and wished to knowhow it came to pass that
he b ad cred it and also to know the reaso n why these d e b ts
a re first o f a ll demanded an d made suit fo r : and our companymade them known and the said A n t h o n y Ma r s h dec lared
himself that there had b een giv en to him b y your ma - ty spe

302 J'é 63 .—1 589 ( an . 1 5 .
your great fa vour an d had given him your free privilege
under your seal , and therefore he had such cred it and no t
for our merchan ts sake . Furthermore i t is kn own to our
counse llors tha t they have thoroughly found out that your mer
chan ts first sought thsse de b ts from A n t h o n y Ma r s h and
for a lo ng time b rought comp la in ts aga inst him alone , and no t
aga inst the company; and tha t they requested also tha t y our
ma - ty would order his goods to b e tak en for their payment; and
tha t acco rding to their request his good s have b een tak en , a nd
out o f them the re hav e b een paid to your ma- ty’
s lord B o r i s
F e d o r o v i c h roub les , and to o thers also paymen t has
b een mad e . A nd a b out the said goods Ma r s h himself to ld
our councellors and it appears from his petition which he
p resented to your counse llors in which he asked that the sa id
goo d s should b e ta ken out of the hands o f your secre tary, as
your ma - ty’
s sa id secre ta ry has in his hand s roub les ;and our merchan ts in formed our coun se llors
,tha t the sa id
A n t h o n y had h imself p resen ted a peti tion to this effec t to
the lord B o r i s F e d o r o v i c h and to o thers o f your conn

a b out his goo ds , which were in your secretary’
s hand s , out o f
which your merchan ts and your o ther sub jects might hav e b e en
pa id , but it was also no tified therein , tha t the deb ts whichare required from him were his own spec ial deb ts , and that
he durst n o t require his goods from your se cre tary ,b ecause
he is a great man in o ffice . A n t h o n y Ma r s h gave our
counsello rs the copy o f this petition ,hav ing tran slated it in to
E ngl ish and we send it with the presen t messenger to your

your ma - ty redress acco rd ing to this petition . Our coun
sellers d id a lso find out in this matter that R o b e r t P e a c o c k
our agent , a t the time when he was in Russia and hea rd that
the sa id A n t h o n y had con trac ted deb ts to your ma - ty’

your ma - ty’

R o b e r t P e a c o c k was the agen t o f the company and d id
n o t know of these de b ts , and tho se who trusted A n t h o n y

owed to them,and they did no t say to h im anything a b out
it . Mo st gracious pr in ce , it is k n own to you, tha t our
company sutfered lo sses to the amoun t of many thousand roub
les through the petty tradesmen and merchan ts o f your k ingdom
,but they endure it as if they d id n o t owe them any de b ts ;
and men who b ehave in such man ner may b e cred ited ; an d
may it p leas e your h .s to ca n cel these de b ts , on accoun t o fwha twas owing to our merchants b y your fa ther o f famous me
mo ry fo r the good s he to ok from them and o ther lo sses , fo r
which they were no t pa id , as they themse lves declare to the

a fter hav ing in vestigate d and sought out the sa id deb ts , hav e
come to knowtha t however much A n t h o n y Ma r s h may b e
inde b ted , there is n o reason to exac t it from our company . A n
t h o n y says a b out the sa id deb ts tha t he ga ve the sa id b ills o f
deb t in h is name , as it is wr itten in h is schedule , which is sen t
with this presen t le tter and wh ich is in his , A n t h o n y’s wr it

this pe tition wo rd fo r wo rd is sen t together with the said sche
dule o f accoun t ; an d it is wr itten in the same , that he is inde b ted to your sub jec ts in his own specia l trade , the which appears
in his petition which he presen ted aga in st R o b e r t P e a c o c k
an d aga in st W i l l i am T rum b ul l . There is a lso wr itten in
ver b a tim (accord ing to the Russian , very immrfect translation) « the
old de b t , which was taken to our merchants on your father of M ona memory , which he took from them» etc . I t is eviden t that this passage refers
t o the confisca tion of G lover's goods and of the good s of the company at Vo

the sa id schedule how many wares he had p repared , fo r theW estern parts and for the S pan ish land ( i . 6 . G ermany and the
N etherlands); an d he declared also howmuch profit he wouldhave had , if on ly his wares had returned therefrom; and that
the said deb ts for which he is in deb ted are for the sa id par
ticular wares,and accord ing to his accoun t they are al l his
own special deb ts and all the sa id deb ts might have b een pa id
out o f his ship and his good s , if th is ship had n o t b een a llowed to depart at the time when R o b e r t P e a c o c k petitio n

‘

we expec t therefo re that your ma - ty, tak ing adv ice with yourwise coun sello rs , will l i b erate our company from these deb ts
so that in future they should not b e required from them.
A n d whereas you wr ite that R o b e r t P e a c o c k and

fare to the schedule , the which schedule was wr itten b y yoursec re tary in order to imp ach them; and as in your ma - ty
’
s
letter there is frequent men tion made of the ir faults , we ex
poo ted that there would appear to us some grav e ofl'
ences , for
which we should have to pray your ma - ty to have mercy upon
them for our sake . Therefore we ordered our coun sel lors
to examine the sa id schedule that we might b e appr ised of
their offences ; they examined all these matters which your socretary had put together and wr itten against them and we found
no

n o grav e affa irs which touched the d isturb ance o f the state o f
your ma - ty , ne ither anythin g of such matter as ought to b e
b rought to the ears of your ma - ty an d for whi ch J o h n C h a pp c l should have deserved death; there has also b een no rea
son to take from him the goods of our company, which werethen in his charge . N either was there reason to put J o h n
H o r n e b i e to the to rture on ly for his hav ing b een willingto carry his letters a b out trad e .
—A nd the great charge , whichwas wr itten in the sa id schedule aga in st J o h n C h a p p e l consisted there in that a man , R i c h a r d R a l f b y name , was inthe serv ice of the agen t of the company and wr iting to a
fr iend , wrote accord ing to his mind that the company had sen t
the sa id J o h n C h a p p e l to look in to the ir afl'
airs and to
learn well how to s p y, mean ing thereb y that he well understan ds how to find out the ir d ishonest serv ice to the ir lord s .
A n d for such in sign ifican t letters there was no reason to put a
man to death or to send him to pr ison , or to take from him
the goods of the company which were in his charge an d no t to
give them b ack .
A nd we have made it known to youb y our letters whi ch wesen t with J e r ome H o r s ey, and afterwards again in formed youthat J o h n Cha p p e l is an E ngl ishman our b orn sub ject and n o
Lub scher,and our company sen t him in to Russia to trade for
them; and your ma - ty was informed that he had your free p r iv ilege sen t to him fromMoscow to Yaro slav l and that he had
freedom to travel and to l ive and to trade in Casan ; and he
traded there without any fraud ; and when he came to Mos cow;he wished to clear himse lf from any charge , and o f his ownfree will gave himselfup to b e put to death, if any one could
pro ffer cap ital charge again st him; and when he returned to E ngland he took nuoath acco rd ing to his C hristian religion ,
that
he nev er had in his mind such a dev ice ; and he d ied here no t
hav ing lived even three mo n ths in his coun try ; and all this
for his hav ing la id in prison b y which reason his health wasimpaired and his life was shortened ; an d he d ied of grief that
he sufi'
ered such d ishonour an d such to rtures , a t the time whenhe sought honour b y his good b ehav iour and b y his b e ing will
308 JG 63 . 1589 sun . 1 5 .
a b out such a thing ; the said letter on ly pro ves tha t the sa id
A n t h o n y and P a lm e r traded toge ther a t the time when thesedeb ts were made , which are written in the schedule . A nd
as regards R o b e r t hav ing ordered the Dutch letters to b e ia
tercepted , it is customary with tradespeople , when they are
trading to envy one ano ther a b out the ir trade and we do no t
approv e this , tha t they d o it; b ut those letters were wr ittenon ly a b out trade , to giv e notice o f the wares that were to come
and we do no t understand in what this matter can afi'
ect your
state . The Dutchmen who l ive in your k ingdom have b e en
the cause o f man y losses and o f d ishonour to our merchan ts
in their trade b y the ir coming to trad e b y the passage whichthey discovered , and our merchan ts woul d no t hav e suffered
it , were i t no t for the sake o f the love and amity b etween us :as they know that we wi ll no t permit an y restrain t as long
as your ma - ty will no t take from them the ir former letters of
priv ilege , according to which they do no t pay any custom ;
whilst o ther strangers pay half the customs . A nd your ma
ty can understand that our merchan ts could shut up the pa s
sage from o thers , who trade b y this passage b ecause they foundout this passage at great cost ; and they could have shut up this
passage long ago , ifwe had no t prohib ited it b y our decree . A nd
we take care tha t the who le un iverse may knowour endeavour
to keep un altera b le lov e with youand we expect that there sha llb e a lso in future unaltera b le love without change , if only it is no ttroub led b y ev il mind ed persons , who seek their own specia l
profit and do n o t care for the honour of their sovereign and
the welfare of their country . A nd whereas your ma - ty re
quests tha t we should give order to our sub jects no t to in ter
cept this passage and no t to repel the strangers who wishto come to trade into your kingdom as well as our own sub
jects who are no t of the company of our merchan ts , that theymight come with wares for trade into your k ingdom; we are
will ing to acco rd tha t the strangers who will go for trade
with your sub jects shall no t b e hindered , for this we giv e ourword ; but with this condition that our merchan ts who haveletters of pr iv ileges should b e set apart as was written afore .
JG 63 . 1 589 sun. 1 5 . 309
A s fo r our o ther sub jects who ar e no t o f the company it b e
comes them no t to go b ecause our predecessors gav e lette rs
of privilege to tho se merchan ts and their heirs who found out
the passage, in co nsideration o f their great losses in find ing
it, and we confirmed tho se letters b y act o f parl iamen t , and
after such so lemn confirmation it is quite impossi b le to withdraw and a b o lish the sa id le tters .
A nd lastly whereas your ma - ty writes tha t you hav e
decreed with your counsellors tha t youwill no t let wax b eexported in to o ther domin ions , excep t it b e exchanged fo r
saltpetre , and gunpowder , and b r imstone , and lead ,and fo r
this reason youwrite to us tha t we should o rder our sub jec tsto b ring you the said saltpetre , an d lead , and b r imstone ; wemarv e l , there b eing such lo ve b etween us , and free trade
given to our merchan ts,tha t now a new prohib i tion is made
at the in stigation o f tho se who do n o t wish hono r to their
prince but would annull the former franchises . A nd we th inkthat yourma - ty may give o rder to the agen t of our compan y , and
accord ing to his adv ice our company shall furn ish wha t is tob e found in our country ; b ut if we order our sub jec ts to
furn ish you with such wares , as we rece ive ourselves from
foreign coun tr ies and which we keep for ourse lves , it willb e a loss for us b o th when those , fromwhomwe b uy them, come
to know that there is such a compact b etween us : they willra ise the pr ices and we shall have a grea t lo ss there in . A c
cord ing to our mind it would b e more profita b le that our
company trade in those wares and b ring them to youwithoutsuch orders ; if you think so , our company will glad ly trade
in a grea t many such wares and b ring them to your ma - ty
if they see your fav o r un to them confirmed in like mann er as
it was a t the time o f your fa ther of famous memo ry , whono t on ly o rdered no t to tak e any customs from them b ut ev en
no t to let any strangers come b y the said passage .
A nd we thank your ma - ty fo r your grea t fav o r unto them
and fo r the priv ileges and we know that you acted thus fo r
our amity sake and a t our request , and not fo r their owndeserts , and we hope tha t youwill confirm the sa id pr iv ileges,
310 JG 63.—l 589 m . 1 5 .
a t the time when our amb assador shall b e with you, in suchmanner that in future they shall not b e taken from them.
W e hav e also afo re this written in many of our letters to
your tna - ty that you give order a b out the servan ts o f ourcompany ,
who reside with the factors of our company in
Mo scow and in o ther places in the dominions of your ma - ty
as to what cred it is to b e giv en to them,tha t there should
b e no d isagreemen ts b etween our sub jects a b out de b ts and
mo n ey , as there were heretofore which often times caused
annoy ance to your ma - ty and to us ; W e write again a b out
this ma tter in our presen t letter to your ma- ty b ecause it isn eed t
‘
ul tha t there should b e no d isagreemen t b etween our
sub jects . A nd the matter is that no cred it is to b e giv en in
Moscow to any se rvan t of the compan y who lives there withany factor o f the company without giv ing notice to the facto r
so that in all tran sactions there b e the signature in the facto r’
s
handwriting b e it in loan s or in trade afiaires , tha t the factor
of the company might know how to answer for them; an d if
any one rece iv es a loan without a b ill of the factor , or withoutthe fac to r
’
s signature , then the one who gave cred it to the ser
v an t must recover from the servan t himself and no t from the
merchan ts , out of their goods , o r these of their facto r . A nd
if such serv an ts of the company, who live at their fac tor’
s
should b e ordered to live in o ther towns and not in Moscow,
the fac tor must write a b out such servants to the town wherethey shall trade , and no tify that these serv an ts trade for our
company ; and this must b e registred in your ma - ty'
s treasuryor custom house in order that it may b e known to your sub jectsab out such servants and ab out the facto r
’
s writing in whichwriting the factor o f the company mus t state to wha t amount
the sa id servant is to b e cred ited ; and such n ames as the factor
of the company shall give to register in the b ook s , these na
mes must remain in the b ook s as long as those servants
shall n o t do any wrong. A nd if the factor find necessary to
dismiss anyone in o rd er tha t he should no t trade any mo re for
the compan y after his name had b een inscrib ed in the b ooks ,
a nd the fac to r gives info rmat io n: a b out this man ,his name is

A nd he further says tha t he has jus t cause to transfer the
rema in ing part of this de b t on W i l l i am T rum b ul l and
that W i l l i am has wherewith to pay it .
A nd n ow we heartily request you, our dearest b rother
tha t your r ight hon ora b le b ro ther in law, our most lo v

Ozor Theodore to Queen E lizab eth.
You sen t to our ma—ty , sister Queen E l i z a b e t h your em
b ossador G i l e s F l e t c h e r with your letter and with a
message . A nd we grac iously receiv ed y our amb assador G i
l e s and fa v our a b ly heard your letter , lov ing sister, and the
speeches which your amb assad o r G i l o s pronounced b efo re our
ma - ty on your b eha lf, lo v ing s ister .
A n d a b out tho se matters which your amb assador G i l e s
spok e to our mo - ty in his speech on your b eha lf, queen E l iz a b e t h , and gav e his speech in writing , we gav e order to
your amb assado r to go to our treasurer J o h n V a s s i l i e v i c h
T r o k h a n i o t e f f and to the secretary A n d r ew S t c h e l k a
l o f f; and we ord ered a decisiv e answer to al l the said speech
es to b e given and gav e a wr iting ab out them.
A nd whereas your amb as sad o r G i l e s sa id to our mo - ty
fr om you, tha t we should main ta in b etwixt us b ro therly lov esuch as our father of famous memo ry the L . E . and G . D .
J o h n V a s s i l i o v i c h of a ll Russia d id ma in tain with youwe wish to con tinue perpe tually such un changoo b le b ro therlylo ve with you, as was main tain ed b y our father of famous
memory the L . E . and G . D . J o h n V o s s i l i o v i c h o f a ll
Russia .
A nd whereas your amb assado r G i l e s spoke to our ma - ty
from you a b out your sub jects the merchan ts who trade in ourk ingdom, that we might favour them in gran ting to them our
352 N: 68. 1 589 o ne.
see b y this way ought n o t to come fo r trade into our k ingdom; and tha t it b ec omes no t you, our s ister , to v io la te the
cha rte rs o f your predecessors . G ive o rder that a ll peop le o f
your k ingd om may b e permitted to come and to have li b erty
o f trade , and le t them no t b e fo rb idden on accoun t o f the five ,
six ,or ten persons , who ha ve b een used fo r a long t ime to
come into our realm, and o rder that there should b e no o c
casion there b y to supress the trade of those merchan ts . There
is no such order in a ny k ingdom tha t merchan ts should b e
enfo rced to trad e , so tha t some should have the lib erty to
trad e and o thers should b e deprived o f it . A nd if it should
happen for the future tha t some o f your people may trad e,
and o thers sha ll b e restra in ed from trade it would appear tha t
your lo v e fo r our ma - ty is no t perfect . D o no t make pro b i
b itiou in your k ingdom fo r merchan ts o f your k ingdom
willing to come with wares into our rea lm, and order no t
to res tra in merchan ts o f all o ther k ingdoms , but le t them b e
permitted to come without hinderance in to our realm ,tha t
b ro ther ly lo ve may no t b e tran sgressed b e twixt us and you,
our lo v ing siste r . A s regards those merchan ts your sub jec tswho d isco vered the sa id way b efore an y strangers fr om
o ther k ingdoms and b efo re your o ther merchan ts , our great
fa vour has a lread y b een espec ially shown and sha ll also
in future b e shown un to them, as they ha ve a house in
our prince ly c ity o f Mo s c o w, and many houses in the
towns o f Y a r o s l a v l , an d W o l o g d a , and D v i n a and
they liv e toge ther with our people and trade in all so rts of
wa res , and it is o rdered to take from them and their goo ds
on ly half of the duty pa id b y o ther fo re ign ers . A nd n ow fo r
your sake,our lov ing s iste r
,acco rd ing to your request, we
fav oured your merchan ts ev en mo re than hereto fore , permit
ting them to go with their wor se and trade in our rea lm,in
C a z a n and A s t r a k h a n , and from A s t r a k h a n to go to
B o k h a r a and to S h e m a k h a, and to P e r s i a ; and we or
de red our new p rin c ely le tters o f priv ilege to b e given to
them. W hilst o ther merchan ts from a ll o ther k ingdoms, o c
co rd ir g to our pr in ce ly o rder , are to pay the who le o f the du
If: 68. 1 589 our. 353
ties and are no t allowed to go through our k ingdom o f Musc o v y no t on ly to C a n o n and A s t r a k h a n
,and to ouy de
min iens b eyond the C a s p i a n s e a,b ut no t ev en anywhere
in to any o ther k ingdom were it but a mile d istan t from the
kingdom o f Mus c o v y . A nd you ought to keep in rememb rance such our favours to your merchan ts , and it is not meet
for youto give such on ord er tha t some merchants should b e
allowed to go for trade in to our realm, and o thers should no t .
F reed om of trade ought to b e given to every on e; b ecause as
our prince ly favour and our equi ta b le justice are alike to all
merchan ts, so ought traffic to b e free alike to all .
Lastly you request our mo - ty a b out J e r o m (H o r s o y)who , after he had delivered our letter to you, fo r some un
known cause , departed secretly out of your k ingdom, and a b out
whom y ou ordered your amb assado r to elucida te this matter
and to send him o v er to E ngland . W e have sent the sa id J o
r e m with your amb assado r G i l e s un to you; and J o r e m
has deserved death for his misconduct, for the practises he
used b etwixt us , great prince , and you, and for the un b eseem
ing words he spoke ab out us , great prince , and you. A nd
henceforth such v illain s are no t to come into our k ingdom
with your merchan ts , that such v illains might not cause any
disturb an ce b etwixt us , and might n o t harm the b ro therly
love b etwixt us .

A nd whereas , lady , youwro te me in your letter tha t yourh .s in tends to let pass tho se sub jects of o ther k ingdoms , whosha ll come with their wares in to the domin ions of our lord
b y the sea passage wh ich was first d iscov ered b y your sub

lo ve to our lord his ma - ty; and I acquain ted my lord withthis (proof of) your ma - ty
’s love .
A nd whereas , lady , youwrote me in your letter tha t yourh .s would b e willing to consen t that all those your merchan ts
who might wish to come fo r trafi'
ic in to the domin ion s of our
lo rd should have lib erty o f trade , b ut that youhad b efo re this
given letters of pr iv ilege to those who first disco vered the new
passage to a ll the domin ion s o f our lord , and that now you
can no t infr inge this priv ilege . Thereb y youdo no t show, lady ,
perfect lo ve to his ma - ty , in that you wr ite that some of
the merchan ts your sub jec ts might come for trade un to the
rea lm o f our lo rd , an d o thers are n o t to come . I t is no t
the custom with you, great princes , that some merchan ts
may come and o thers may no t and that there b e no equalitygiven in trad e to merchan ts . I t would b ecome you, mo st res .
p londen t lady q . E l i z a b e t h to b e in perfect b ro therly amitywith our lo rd , and it is no t b eseeming to insist upon such on
a b out this matter to you, h is lov ing sister . A s regards your
merchan ts who were the first to d iscover the n ew passage,they are alread y more fav oured b y our lord than an y o ther
merchan ts o f a ll o ther great princes : there have b een given
to them houses in all town s , in Mo s c ow, in Y a r o s l a v l,
in V o l o g d a , and the Dwi n a ; and nowmy lord , accord ingto my prayer and en treaty ,
has granted permission to them to
go fo r trade into his k ingdom o f C o z a n an d A s t r a k h a n ,
and from A s t r a k h a n to B o k h a r a , and to S h em a k h a
and to P o r s i a , whilst merchants of o ther coun tries are no t
permitted to go through the k ingdom o f Mo s co v i a to any
place whatever , no t even if it were but one mile b eyond the
Ne 69 . 1 589 no t . 361
fron tier . S o you ought no t, lad y , to write an y mo re to our
lord ab out so un important a matter, and youought to give o r
der that your merchan ts might n o t b e hindered any more .
A nd whereas your ma - ty wr ites to me in your letter a b out
A n t h o n y Ma r s h,that I should enquire a b out him an d a b out
his cred itors and a b out what is not rea lly owing b y him. The
v il la iny of A n t h o n y Ma r s h has b een tho roughly in vestiga t
ed : he d ese rves n o t to remain in our lo rds k ingdom b ecause
o f his v illa iny, for his hav ing tak en great sums o f mo ney from
the o fficers of the treasury o f our lo rd in the n ame o f the E nglish merchants
,and for his hav ing b o rrowed man y sums from
lords and gen tlemen and divers merchan ts , giv ing b ills under
his hand for himself and for associa tes. They cred ited him
and len t money to him, and accep ted his b ills under his hand ,
giv ing cred it to his compan ions b ecause he liv ed in the E ng
lish house together with the E nglish merchants . I do no t ev en
write a b out my de b ts , howmuch money A n t h o n y owed meand howmuch he still owes me : o thers shall inform your ma
ty thereof. G od alone knows how many were my endeavours
and my in treaties a b out R o b e r t (P e a c o c k) and J e r o w
(H o r s e y) and al l their do ings . There was to b e recov ered

l i am (T rumb ul l) for wha t they had b o th b o rrowed from
the Mosco v ion merchan t A t h a n a s ius l ud i n to the amount
of roub les . A n t h o n y was ca lled to account fo r thissum b efo re his ma - ty
’
s ofiicers and together with R o b e r tand his company con fron ted with the sa id people o f his maty , and see ing his own hand on the sa id b ills , he acknowledged himself to b e responsi b le fo r them. A ll this inquiry and
