THE COPY.  
MOst High and Mighty Prince, etc. We hope by God's grace of your Princely excellencies, good health, and prosperity, and by these presents offer you our willing service, recommending ourselves unto you. The cause that hath moved us to be so bold to write these fewes lines unto you, was first propounded unto us by the earnest persuasion and request of the worthy Gentleman Heram van Sp●●l, (governor representing here your Princely person in the government of these Countries; and to whom we therefore show all obedience) made unto us, to send our young sons to be brought up in the Netherlands: to the end that there they may be taught the grounds of Christian Religion, and brought up in the studying of holy Divinity. Whereunto in this place we have small means and occasions offered: We could not by any means deny it, but willingly granted thereunto, and accordingly both our young sons are sent thither, who are the bearers hereof. And as they by reason of the great distance of places, are now wholly out of our sights; and consequently out of our fatherly care and educations, and must remain under the protection of other faithful Princes. By these, trusting and confidently reposing ourselves upon your Princely courtesy (whose immortal fame to us, that in respect of your Princely dignity, dwell in woods and wildernesses, is not hidden:) Most earnestly beseech your grace, to be pleased in our absence, to cast your wise and respective eyes upon our children, and to receive them into your Princely protection: To the end, that being educated and well brought up in learning, and knowledge of Divinity, they may in time increase and further the honour of God's name, (namely under the blind people of these Countries) and withal spread the fame of your Princely great and triumphant actions, abroad in foreign Countries: and we will always be ready to requite the same unto your grace by all the service that we may in any wise do for you; beseeching the almighty God, most Noble Prince, to send your grace long life and happy prosperity in all your Princely government and valiant actions.  
Dated in the Castle of Ambine, the 1. of August, 1620. Underneath your Princely most friendly subjects & faithful friends, Manuel King of Kielang, and Laurenso de Sylva, King of Soyen.
