AFter my very hearty Commendations, Since it hath pleased his Majesty out of his gracious and Royal care of the good of his Kingdom and Subjects, by his Letters Patents to recommend by way of Collection, the●epaire of the ancient Haven of the Coast towns of Dunwich, Southwold, and Walberswick in the County of Suffolk, to the charitable benevolence of all his loving Subjects within this his majesties Realm of England, and Principality of Wales: I thought it meet (being petitioned by the partie● name in the said Letters Patents) to give this addition of assistance thereunto, though there be expressed in the Briefs (which he will deliver you) sufficient Motives to induce every man to bestow what is fitting, for the advancement of so worthy an action. Wishing and desiring you not only to extend your own charitable contribution thereunto, but also to move and exhort all those within your several Cities, Towns, Ports, Villages, and Parishes, to contribute cheerfully and liberally toward the effecting of a work so profitable to the Common wealth, and of so great a consequence for the safety and defence of the Coast. And so commending this same to your best care and discreet carriage, I bid you farewell. From my house in Phillip-lane, London, this 19 day of june, 1619.  
Your very loving Friend, E. ZOVCH.  
To all Mayors, jurates, Constables, Bailiffs, Ministers, Churchwardens, and to all other his majesties Officers within the Liberty of the Cinque Ports, as it shall appertain.
