At my coming home, I bethought me that I would gladly have the said passport, safe conduct or letters of passage more ample and beneficial, as for my wife, children, family, servants and goods whatsoever, and for one whole year to dure from the date of these presents I wrote thus on Monday mormng: The Englishman John Dee, the most devoted servant of his most serene Majesty, humbly begs his Cesarean Majesty that he may in his clemency deem it fitting to grant to the same John Dee-on behalf of himself, his wife, his children, his family, his servants, his maids, his furniture and whatsoever else-his favourable and gracious letters of safe, peaceful and free passage through all and any pans, regions and roads of his great Cesarean Majesty's Empire, at any time within one whole year from the present date. joannes Dee I went to Mr Doctor Curtz, with these last letters fair written, and I found him to be at the Hof rate Carner in counsel: and so awaiting till they rose (half an hour after 8 of the clock) he came out with my letters in his hand, which I left yesternight with him. I showed him these last written: and he said they use to limit no time, but to make them indefinite. So he took the last, and I had the former letters back again. He went with them into the privy chamber. He said I should not need to send for the letters, but he would send them home by his man, and I went from him toward the Ambassador Don Gulielmo de Sancto Clemente, whom I found coming with the Ambassador of Spain (who came three or four days before, to give the Golden Fleece to the Emperor) 12 and the Marshal of the Court to go to the Emperor presently to have audience. And as I stood in the court of the Ambassador's lodging, and they three on horseback coming, the Ambassador my friend did put off his cap, so did the new Ambassador and Marshal twice very courteously to me. I saw it was no time to offer speech to the Ambassador; nor of my giving thanks, taking leave, and requiring his pleasure toward the Lord Laski: so following them to the Court, I passed forward home toward my lodging.
