En ce mesme temps aussi Madame la Marquise de Guercheuille enuoya la
Saussaye à Londres, à celle fin de solliciter la reddition du nauire, &
la reparation des torts receus par vn vol tant inique. Le nauire a esté
rendu, mais on n'a rien obtenu d'auantage iusques à maintenant.
At the same time also Madame la Marquise de Guercheville sent la
Saussaye to London, to request the surrender of the ship, and
reparation for the wrongs involved in this iniquitous robbery. The
ship has been given up, but, up to the present, nothing else has
been obtained.
Or ainsi que nostre nauire ayãt mainleuée prenoit ja le vol en France,
païs de son origine: voicy, que le Capitaine Flory son Maistre [302
i.e., 304] arriua comme à poinct nommé, pour entrer dedans, & y
commander.
And now, just as our ship, having been set free, was about to wing
her way to France, her native land, behold, Captain Flory, her
Master, [302 i.e., 304] as if by appointment, arrives upon the
scene to step in and take command of her.
Le Capitaine Argal s'en reuenant en Angleterre l'auoit encores arraché
des mains du Mareschal, & luy, & deux autres François. Certes ledit
Argal s'est monstré tel, que nous auons occasion de luy souhaitter,
qu'il serue d'ores-en-auant vne meilleure cause, & où sa noblesse de
coeur puisse paroistre, non à la perte, ains à la manutention des gens
de bien.
Captain Argal, about to return to England, had rescued him and
two other Frenchmen from the hands of the Marshal. Certainly this
Argal has shown himself such a person that we have reason to wish
for him that, from now on, he may serve a better cause and one in
which his nobility of heart may appear, not in the ruin, but in the
preservation of honest men.
De tout nostre nombre, trois sont morts à la Virginie, & quatre y
rest[~e]t encores, à la deliurance desquels on trauaille autant que
faire se peut. Dieu par sa misericorde leur donne patience, & tire de
nostre affliction le bien que sa prouidence, & bonté aggreent. Ainsi
soit-il.
Of all our number, three died in Virginia, and four still remain
there, for whose liberation everything possible is being done. May
God in his mercy give them patience, and may he derive from our
affliction whatever good is acceptable to his providence and mercy.
Amen.
