THEcorrespondenceandpapersof theGa\vdyfamilyinthe possessionof theDepartment of MSS.inthe BritishMuseum arecontained ineighteenvolumes,but unfortunately,owing tothe fact thatthey havebeen acquired at varioustimes, thevolumesare considerably scattered.Thefirstfivevolumes\Verepurchasedin 1866at thesaleof the libraryof SirJ.Fenn (d. 1794),the owner and editor of the morecelebratedPas tonletters.Theyconsistof three volumes of letters (I 579-17 I 3)andtwo of household accounts (1582-1639),and arenowknownas Additional.MSS.2i395-27399 Thefirst of thesevolumessupplies afewletters ofPbilipGawdy which are hereinThenextacquisitionwasin1889.Intheintroduction to the Calendar of theseparticular Gawdy papers madeby the then O\Vner, Mr. WaiterRye, fortheHistoricalCommissioners(1othReport, Appendix II.) inr885; be referstoMr.DanielGurney of Runcton as their lateowner.Theybadoriginally passedfromthe Gawdy familyonthemarriageof Ann,onlydaughterandsoleheiress ofSirJohnGawdy, 2ndBaronet(whodiedin1699),withOliver LeN eve, of GreatWitchingham.Onthelatter'sdeathinI 7 1 I they came to his brother Peter Le Neve,Norroy King of Arms, and afterwards to "honestTomMartin"of Palgrave,whobad married Peters widow.When,at Martin's deathin1771,hislarge collec-tions were dispersed, theseparticularpapers fellinto thehandsof a London-second-handbookseller,andeventuallycameintothe poaeuion ofllr.

J.Homoodin1879,butcoming subsequently intothe marketonthe sale of thelibrary of Mr. John TudorFrere,ofRoydon,in1896,theMuseumauthoritieswere againfortunate enoughtosecure them.They now form the volume EgertonMS.2804.It isalmost entirely composed oftbe letters of Philip Gawdy, aod it is from thisvolumethat most of theletters now printedhavebeen taken. Eventhisdoesnot exhaust the tale of theMuseum'srapacity, forooJytwoyearsago,in1904,itacquiredanother batchof the GawdycorrespondencewhichhadbelongedtoMr.G.E.Frere. These are nO\VknownasAdditionalMSS.36989,36990. TheGawdy familyclaimeddescentfromSirBrews Gaudi,a French knight; who\vastakenprisoner by theEnglish in Aquitaine iu1352, and becoming naturalised, married the daughter of William Hamondof SwaffhamBulbeck; co.Cambridge.Herethefamily livedforahundredyears,andthenmigratedtoRedenhall,near Harleston, inNorfolk, acquiringthere the manors of Holebrok and Coldham.IncourseoftimeHolebrokmanorhousewaspulled down and anew one built called GawdyHall. The main lineof Gawdv fromthistimewasknownasGawdv , of GawdyHall or of Redenball.It isnot,however, with themain linethat wehavetodeal,butthebranchwhichsettledat West Harling, avillage four milesfromThetford. It was BassingboumeGawdy,sen.,who acquiredtheproperty atHarlingthroughhiswifeAnneW ottonwhosefatherJohn Wottonof North TuddenbamhadmarriedElizabeth, theheiress and lastrepresentativeoftheBerdewell family,possessorsof the manorsincethenthcentury.BassingbournebecameSheriff of NorfolkinI 57 J , andbadt\VOsons,Bassingbourne,borninIs6o, andPhilipinI 562.ByanunfortunatemistakeBlomfieldhas assignedI 569insteadofJ 589astheyearof Bassingboumethe F'll'St's death, andbe was therefore obliged to identify Bassingboume Inlrotl11ction. . IX the Second with the Sheriff of 1573,in\\"bichyear hewasa ladof 13!These twomisstatementshavebeen repeated byother autho-rities,and causedmuchconfusion. The existing pedigreesof the Gawdy family,especially of the twogenerationsprecedingthefirstBassingboumeGawdy,are soconfficting, andmy attemptstoreconcilethedifferenceshave been so discouraging,that Ioffer the table at the end ofthis Intro ductionwithout anyconvincinghopeonmy ownpart that Ihave solved the difficulties withabsolutecorrectness. Oneoftheadditionstothepedigree,namely,thatof.the second marriageof theelderBassingboume, thoughnot suspected byanypreviouscompileroftheGawdypedigree,seemstobe dearly established.Attheendof1588,abouteighteenmonths after the death of his mother {Anne \Votton), Philip suddenlyintro ducesintohislettersreferencestohis"mother"and"sisters,'' and, fortunately in one cue, he mentions his ' ' brother Darcy."\Vith this clue, acloserconsiderationofcertainpassagesintheletters, andanexaminationoftheTolleshuntDarcyparishregister,it seemsquiteclear,Ithink,thatPhilip' sfatherbadcontracteda secondmarriagewithMargaret,widowofThomasDarcy,of TolleshuntDarcy,andthatthe"sisters"referredtowerethe fivedaughtersofhisnewstepmother.Shewasadaughterof EustaceSyliardof FlemingsinRunwell,eo.Essex,abranchof theSyliardsorSuliardsofEyeand\Vethersden,eo.Suffolk. The following passageinaletterdated19November [t588]now becomesplain."Themarriageday isnewly appoyntedandnot nowto fayle, it shall beatM' SyliardshowsevppooMondaycom sennightafterthedatehero.Iha\"emorningclotheformy fatherandmy oocle Anthooy butneitherof thembothcanbeat the funerallforitisatthetymeofthemariag,andthegreater Nayleeverdryvesout thelesse."Thefuneralwasthatof~ i r ThomasGawdy,thejudge, whowasburiedatRedenhaJlearly in December of that year.

From 1581to1587wehave no letters of either brother,andin theintervalBassingboumebadleftLondonandsecuredarich wifeinthepersonof Anoe,daughterandheiressofSirCharles Framlingham, ofCrowsHall,Debenham,theactualdateofhis marriagebeing17July,1586.Wemayconjecture,bytheir settling at \VestHarling, that his mother wasinfailinghealth,and forthatandotherobviousreasonsayoungandwelldowered daoghter-inlawwasnotanunwelcomeadditiontothefamily. Themotherwasadaughterof JohnWotton of Tuddenham, and before marrying Bassingbourne Gawdy,sen.,in1558 had already been twice married.Philip's lastletter tohismother is dated26 .May, 1587, shonly before her death,for the entry in theHarling Register givesherburialas9June,r587.Itmusthavedelightedher hearttobear in a he wroteto her afewmonthsbeforeher death, thather motherly advice forhisbodily as\veU as his spiritual welfarehadnotbeenthrowna\vay."Kirke,"writesPhilip, ., deliveredby ameansfromyou,thoughnotdirectlyfromyour ownemouth, that Ishold take headeho\v to lyvein thisdaungerous world,andespecyally whatcompanyIsholdkeepe.Jdoassuer yovrIdo desier to satisfy you thus muche.That I do euery morning usethebricke, andwormewood asaremedyagaynst allpestilence and infectionthatmay happento thebody,andIbauelongsynce laydevppeyourmotherlygoodcounsayle thatIdoeueryday meditatevpponasamedicineagaynstallbadcompanyandall other badd actionswhatsoever.ButI learnedthislessonof late _by the adviseof them that ar very wettoinstructe, not to Introduction. be over familiarwithan ye,forthat maybreed jelousye;notto be tyed to any,forthat shewes servility;notto dependwholyof any, for be that leaneth withallhis force vpponone stake, if that breake, orb ~vnderminded,hisfallmust.needesbeverygreatwithall.

It is evident that Philip hadbeguntofeeldissatisfiedwiththe monotonyandinactivityof hislife.Onechancebehadbadof goingabroad,which,however,bewasnotallo,vedtotake.This wasinJune,rs88,whenLadyWillougbby, \Vhohadofferedhim "wonderftill great frendsbippandkyndness," wasaboutto join her husband, LordWillougbbydeEresby,latelyappointedsuccessor to Lord Leicester in the command of the English forces in Flanders. She had in aletter expressedadesiretotakePhilip withher,and Philip,inforwardingittohisfather,says,"I willvndertakeno iorny withoutyour wonderfullwellapprovingtherof andIdesire to be satysfyedinthat sort that Imayremayne inher favor.You maywellgesseatthecausethatkeapesmebeareinEngland. otherwiseIshouldhavebadgreaterdesiretohaveseneforeign places!

Thecausewas,ofcourse,povetty,foritisevidentfrom. frequent allusionsin hisletters thatbe sufferedthe usuallot of the younger son of a younger son.Pbilip constantly contrasts hisown positionwiththatof hiselder brother,whobadbeen so fortunate asto marry an heiress.He was, destined soon to havea startling changeandadventure.Inthespringofr 59 rafleetof sevenships,underthecommandofLordThomasHoward,left Plymouth withthepurposeof interceptingthe Spanishships from theInilies.Reaching tbe Azores, the little-fleet anchored at Flores and forsix months awaitedtheapproach of the treasure-laden ships. PhilipGawdyhadjoinedthisexpeditionasavolunteer,andwas assignedtotheRevenge,commandedbytheVice.
