Summary:
Has rewritten his lost description of 'Doryanthes', has enclosed it with two plates [not extant, see Related Material below]. In despair as after six years the Ambassador of Portugal, who is a relation of the Grand Inquistor, has reawoken the "ancient hatred" of his persecutors and desires to effect his ruin either in England if he can, or by sending him back to Portugal.
