4.  The  news  that  comes  unto  the  French  brings  them
almost  to  their  wits'  ends.  The  Ambassador  from  the  Pope
is  a  Jesuit,  sent  from  the  Cardinal  of  Ferrara,  to  make
an  entry  for  some  more  honourable  personage.  The  men
of  Edinburgh  have  no  wiU  of  him.  He  landed  first  at
Leith,  conveyed  by  a  Scotchman  for  a  friar  who  had  lost
his  frock  in  Louvain.  There  was  lately  a  quarrel  between
Lord  Ogilvy  and  a  son  of  the  Earl  of  Huntley,  named
the  Laird  of  Finlie ;  Lord  Ogilvy  is  sore  hurt  on  his  right
arm.  M.  De  Croc  has  made  very  honest  report  by  his
letters  of  his  good  treatment,  and  of  the  Queen  s  present  to
him.  This  Queen  has  shown  the  writer  certain  verses  in
Italian  sent  from  the  Queen,  marvellously  fair  written,
which  she  requites  with  a  few  more. — Stirling,  5  July  1562.
5.  P.S. — The  Earl  of  Eglinton  is  divorced  from  the
Duke's  daughter  for  adultery ;  he  has  married  the  old  .Sheriff
of  Ayr's  wife  not  above  fourteen  days,  and  now  she  begins
to  repent  her  bargain.
6.  M.  De  Varrance  wrote  lately  that  the  King  of  Sweden
was  fully  purposed  to  be  here  before  winter.  Saw  a  letter
which  he  wrote  to  a  gentlewoman  in  this  court  desiring  to
have  his  suit  preferred  to  the  Queen.  Thinks  he  means
rather  his  master's  suit.    Signed.
