Ambassatrice

"The French ambassador, goeing out in his gundola this last week, to take the aire in the euening, with his lady and niepce, did incounter with a barke of insolent sergeants, who would nees haue searched his gundola; and being repelled by the ambassador, who did keepe them of with a halberd and a pistol, they made a battery of stones against the gundola, with which the ambassatrice was hurt in the head, and the neipce in a showlder. It was much feared, that the ambassatrice might haue miscarried, either with the hurt or affright, because shee is within a month of her time ; but she doth bearc it out well, although the hurt be great."
