Raleigh 'suspected' and 'unpopular.'

But he does not sail without a struggle or two. James is too proud
to allow his heir to match with any but a mighty king, is infatuated
about the Spanish marriage; and Gondomar is with him, playing with
his hopes and with his fears also.

The people are furious, and have to be silenced again and again:

promise not to reveal it; and Raleigh himself seems to have believed

Winwood in a tone of astonishment and indignation, that the
information contained in his paper had been sent on to the King of

him with the order taken by his Majesty about Sir W. R.'s voyage.'
But however unwilling the Secretary (as one of the furtherers of the
voyage) may have been to meddle in the matter, Gondomar had had news
