TO THE KING.

DREAD SIR,

SInce Heaven your Righteous Cause has own'd, And with Success Your powerful Navy crown'd; Silence were now an injury as rude, As the proud Hollanders Ingratitude: While th' Glories of your Arms, and Triumphs shine, Not to Congratulate were to Repine.

Your Enemies themselves to Greatness raise, By disingenious, and inglorious ways; By means, no Vulgar Spirit would endure, But such as either Courage want, or Power. But while your Clemency proclaims aloud Compassion to the miserable Croud: Your Royal Breast with Love, not Anger, burns, And Your resentment into Pity turns In Christian Gallantry You Your self out-doe, And Honour by the Noblest Arts pursue.

THE Interest of ENGLAND In the present War with HOLLAND.

TRade and Commerce are the Pillars of Pro∣sperity, and safety to England:* 3.1 But how these of late have been shaken by the ar∣tifice, and undue practices of the Hol∣landers, every sober man may judge: For they have not only made great di∣minution of the Merchant Adventurers antient priviledges in their Jurisdiction,

but our Trade to Muscovia (the Hol∣landers serving the same Market with our own cloth, carried thither from Hamburgh) we cannot long enjoy.* 3.2 We do not vend the one third part of the Cloth in Germany, and the Low-Countries, which we have formerly done: * 3.3And that we have transported from North to East of late years, hath been sold to loss, being beaten out by the subtilty and cunning of these men; they having such quantities of Wool out of England and Ireland (to the exceeding damage of this Nation) that they make more Cloth and Stuff than we do in England, and afford it cheaper then we can do.

The Fishing upon the British Seas (then which nothing is more peculiar to this Nation) they have taken from us by force,* 3.4 and have defended and ju∣stified the same, against his Majesties greatest power.

And to signalize their Ingratitude to his Majesty, they have not only under∣min'd the Trade of the English in all

parts, to the diminution of his Majesties Revenue, and prejudice to his Subjects, but have laboured to soil his Glory, and lessen his Dignity, where the Honour of the King of Great Britain was justly famous: Although they have received greater Favours and Kindnesses from this Nation, then all the Kings and Princes in Europe could give them.* 3.5

In the Molucca Islands the Hollanders exercised great Cruelty upon the poor Natives there. * 3.6And when they had done, they declar'd to them, that they were English; the Natives asking them, who the English were? the Hollanders told them they were Christians: Thereby they did not only render the English odious, but the very name of Christi∣ans abominable to the Natives. But when they came to understand the kind∣ness and behaviour of the English to them, they had a very great love for them, and did much Honour the King of England: the Orankies being often heard to say, that the King of England was a good King, and his God a good

God; but their Tanto* 3.7 and the Hollan∣ders were naught.

Anno 1608. an English Colony was planted by Captain Robert Harcourt in Caripo, situate on the Banks of Wiapico in Guiana, the Hollanders possess themselves of Gomeribo on the top of a Hill, near the Mouth of the Bay of Wiapico, but soon deserted: yet they endeavoured nothing more during their short stay, then to make the Natives disaffected to the English;* 3.8 affronting their persons, and defaming the Grandeur and Power of the Kings of England. But when the Natives found by experience how the King of England, and his Subjects were abus'd, they did ever after perfectly hate the name of a Hollander.

Anno 1614. The Hollanders planted themselves in a Province or Port of Vir∣ginia, having purchas'd the Charts and Maps of Hudson, and all his right which he had acquir'd by that Voyage, and call'd it by the name of Nieu-Nederlandt. But being question'd by Sir Tho. Argal, then Governour of Virginia for his Ma∣jesty

of Great Britain, were told, that they must quit the possession of that place, or else pay Tribute to his Maje∣sty; for that Hudson was an English∣man, and licensed to discover those Nor∣thern parts by the King of England, and could not alienate or dismember it from the Crown of England. Complaint hereof being made to the States of Hol∣land, it was declar'd by them in a pub∣llck Instrument, that they were no ways concern'd in the Action; but 'twas a private undertaking of the West-Indian Company of Amsterdam. And though the Hollanders did seem willing to be gone; yet taking advantage of the Trou∣bles, which not long after happened in England, they have not only kept posses∣sion thereof, and built a Fortress, and call'd it by the name of Orang-Fort, which was Garrison'd, and planted with Can∣non, but fell in with the Natives, and furnished them with Arms, and taught them how to use their Weapons,* 3.9 with design to have destroyed all the English Plantation there. A most mischievous

and wicked act, not only tending to the damage and discouragement of the pre∣sent Adventurers, but even unto the ex∣tirpation of all Christians out of all those Countries. But the best is, they were the first which smarted by it. The Na∣tives thus arm'd and train'd, fell foul upon them, destroy'd their houses, and forc'd them to betake themselves to their Ports and Fastnesses. But upon all occa∣sions expressed their kindness and obe∣dience to the English.

Ormus, an Island in the entrance of the Persian Gulf, in the possession of the Portuguez, Anno 1506. was made the Staple of their Trade for the Indian Merchandizes, and so inrich'd the same, that the Revenues of the Kings there, though Tributaries and Vassals to the Portugals, amounted unto 140000 Shirifes yearly. In this flourishing estate it stood, till the Year 1622. when Abas the Sultan of Persia having received some affronts at the hands of the Portuguez, and being desirous to remove the Trade of Ormus to some part of his own Do∣minions,

gave order to Emangoti Chares the Duke of Shiras, to lay Siege unto it with his Army. But seeing no hopes of mastering it by his Land Forces only, furnished himself with Ships and Can∣non of some English Merchants, and by the assistance of the English presently subdu'd it. The City was utterly de∣stroyed, the Cannons removed to Lar, the wealth thereof to his own Treasury of Shiras, the materials of the houses to Gunbroon, about nine miles from Ormus, then a poor village; but since the fall of Ormus, a rich and populous place, and of vast Trade. For this Service, so much honour was given to the English Nati∣on by the King of Persia, that he gave to the King of Great Britain the Cu∣stoms of all Strangers which should traffick thither; and by his Agent which resideth at Gunbroon, ought to be re∣ceived. The Hollanders who have a vast trade thither, they being strangers, and not trading to the Gulf, till some time after, for several years paid their Cu∣stoms; but since the Troubles in Eng∣land,

refused to pay * 3.10(though all other Strangers pay to the English resident there) which may be reasonably esti∣mated at 20000l. per annum: and have been detained by them, from the King of Great Britain about 30 years.

Anno 1671. when the King of Great Britain at his own charges (for a peace∣able Traffick and Commerce, not only for his own Subjects, but for those of other Kings and Princes in Europe) made a War against the Pyrates of Ar∣giers, and by his Naval Forces were much disabled, and brought to a Treaty. The Hollanders writ to their good Friends of Argiers, that they should conclude no Peace with England,* 3.11 for they wanted Provision, and could not continue long at Sea.

If I should present you with all the Sufferings of his Majesties Subjects from these men, they would make a Book of Martyrs; but the image of great things are best seen contracted in∣to small glasses.

His Majesty out of his Princely Wis∣dom

hath left no means unattempted, for reparation of his own Dignity, and for compensation of the injuries done to his good Subjects, but could effect none.

Therefore Ʋltima resolutio est gladius,* 3.12 War is the darrein resort of every wise and good Prince; unto which his Ma∣jesty was necessitated, they being the first Aggressors,* 3.13 and that upon such clear and pregnant evidence, as no King ever undertook a more just War. For, as in Capital causes, wherein but one mans life is in question, in favorem vitae, the evidence ought to be clear; so much more in the judgment of a War, which is capital to thousands.

They have expos'd his Majesty to contempt by their false Libels and Me∣dails:* 3.14 The Reputation of a Prince ought to be as sacred, as his Person, vita & fama pari passu ambulant. Life and Reputation are the same in judgment of Law; for, that person which has lost his Reputation, he doth but survive his own Funerals. Contumely to a private person, is but a private injury; but to

a King, its an affront to a whole Na∣tion; for in the Honour of the King, is wound up the safety and reputation of the people: and not only his own Subjects, but all Kings and Princes are obliged to vindicate his Majesties Digni∣ty. Its not enough for a Prince to be great among his own Subjects, but he must carry a Grandezza amongst Kings: there's his Glory; which by the art and malice of these unmannerly Libels may be much impeach'd.

They have seised upon his Domini∣ons and Plantations in the East-Indies,* 3.15 and do unjustly detain them from him. They have disturbed the Factories of his good Subjects there. They have dispu∣ted his Majesties Sovereignty of the Bri∣tish Seas here; alledging, that by the Magna Charta of God Almighty its free; and that there can be no dominion or propriety in the Sea: which they urg'd with much zeal against the Portuguez in the East-Indies. But when they had sub∣dued them, and the Kings there, they make it Death, and Confiscation of

Ships and Goods for any person to pass the South and North Seas there, (the Do∣minion of which Seas is of a greater La∣titude, then that of all the Kings and Princes in Europe.) And all the Argu∣ments which they use to assert their Right and Dominion thereunto, are Sword and Cannon. I do assure you they are smart Arguments. But we may see, that the unwarrantableness of an action is often hid in the Glory of the suc¦cess.

And those men which should have been the Pillars of a State, are be∣come the Caterpillers of Kingdoms; yea, and worse too: for the Caterpil∣ler as a modest and sober creature, only makes bold with the Fruits of the Earth, but these devour the Land and People too.

Now they begin to be look'd upon as the Pesti ducts of Europe, the scorn and indignation of every good man

They have supplanted the Trade and Commerce of his Majesties Subjects, which are the vena porta of the King∣dom,* 3.16

and without which the Limbs and Members thereof must be feeble and weak.

All which proceedings of these men, are such pregnant evidence of the Ju∣stice of the War, that there are no lear∣ned Doctors (the Gamaliels of the Law) but must give Judgment against them.

And if Wars in these cases, for the vindication of rights, and repair of in∣jur'd Subjects, be not lawful, (for Wars are but suits of Appeal to the Tribunal of Gods Justice,* 3.17 when there are no Su∣periours upon earth to determine the case) we must expect nothing but Ra∣pines, Injuries, and Injustice here upon earth.

If we set down by reason, the judg∣ment of the learned, and the practice of all Ages; the increase of their Do∣minions, and potency at Sea, (if we consider their Ambition, Avarice, and Insolencies) have given just fear to his Majesty, and other the Kings and Prin∣ces of Europe; and so justified his pro∣ceedings against them, before God and man.

For preventive Wars upon just fears, are as just Wars, * 3.18 and as truly defensive, as those that are made upon actual In∣vasion.

And therefore the Greek Orator com∣pareth those who make Wars, which are not preventive, to Country fellows, in a Fencing-School, which never Ward till the Blow is past. And no Prince can be justly condemn'd for not staying for the first blow, or not for accepting of Polyphemus courtesie, to be the last that shall be eaten up.

The Hollanders are always brooding of War, and there's no firm League to be had with them, but impuissance to do hurt.

And certainly its a main piece of wis∣dom in strong and prudent Councils to be in perpetual watch, that the Princes or States about them, do not too much aggrandize themselves, * 3.19 by new Ac∣quests, or by ruining Confederates, or by the like means. And this was so ex∣actly observ'd by that Trium-virate of Kings, Henry the Eighth of England,

Francis the First of France, and Charles the Fifth, Emperor and King of Spain, that scarce a palm of Ground could be gotten by either of the three, but that th'other two would be sure to do their best to set the Balance of Europe up∣right again.

A Republick is nothing but an En∣gine (erected by Sedition and Treachery to subvert Monarchy;)* 3.20 and we see that Holland hath been a Retreat for all Re∣bels, and a Sanctuary to the worst of men.

All Heresies, Schisms, and Anti-mo∣narchical Principles have been there hatch'd, and they fly into the Domini∣ons of Kings and Princes, and on their wings carry nothing but Poison and Contagion to infect their Subjects.

They are great pretenders to Zeal, and Religion (you shall learn much Di∣vinity from them, but find no Huma∣nity.) Certainly such as rob God of his Honour, by tolerating Atheists; and Princes of their rights, by countenan∣cing Rebellion, shall never be set out for Saints in my Kalendar.

Let them plume themselves in their Successes, and triumph in their Gran∣deur; if it be once admitted, that Gran∣deur and Successes be true signatures of Heavens favour, I shall forbear (as an ingenious Gentleman said) any longer to think Mahomet an Impostor, and must receive the Alcoran for Gospel.

They are the greatest Patrons of Schism in the world:* 3.21 For my part, I've ever had a serious abhorrency of that sin, being against a main Article of my Faith,* 3.22 (the Communion of Saints) which makes the Church Militant, and Trium∣phant one Parish.

Here they give the people Liberty of Conscience, (as they call it:) But as to their Estates, they make them the grea∣test slaves in the world; witness the Fet∣ters they lay upon them by their Taxes.

Their Government is ill in its Origi∣nal,* 3.23 but worse in its Progress; if God and the Wisdom of Princes do not pre∣vent.

And therefore I'm confident nothing

can so much establish peace in Christen∣dom, and make the Belgick people hap∣py, as to reduce them under the obedi∣ence of a good Prince.* 3.24

But many of those men think, that a Prince is as unfit a person to govern them, as Caligula's Horse was, to be a Consul: and you may as soon Con∣vert a Jew to be a Christian, as perswade some of them to be Loyal.

And therefore it was Oracularly said by a Wit of theirs, That a Prince will bring an eternal ruin upon them, and their Posterity; and they are to be ac∣counted Inter homines damnatae memoriae, for the scum of the earth, and to be re∣membred with curses and abominati∣ons, who shall but once entertain a thought of setting up a Prince over them.

I know (says one) this will displease the King of Great Britain; yet his dis∣pleasure is no more to be valued by us, then his Alliance: for all Alliance with England is unserviceable to Holland; and even those Alliances which we shall be

press'd into for fear of a War with Eng∣land. Bravely said!

These people are like unto the middle Region of the Air, which maketh her Thunderbolts against the Earth, out of the Exhalations she draws from the Earth it self.

England may complain as the Eagle in the Emblem:

Heu patior telis vulnera facta meis.

But the wrongs and insolencies of our Enemies; more then our own discretions, may sometimes make us both wise and fortu∣nate.* 3.25

Is his Majesties Alliance unserviceable unto them? well, we may from these men observe, That the more a Prince weak∣neth himself by giving, the poorer he is of Friends.* 3.26

Their Fishing upon the British Ocean (which is by his Majesties Favour) is the only basis of their Greatness.

If his Majesty would be pleased to as∣sume that to himself (as he hath Right and Power) and suffer none to Fish there, but such as should come with their Wives and Families, and live in our Sea-Towns here in England,* 3.27 that great Colossus of their Hogan-Mogan-ship must suddenly decline: for 10000 Ves∣sels at least by them imployed in the Fi∣shery would presently decay, their Ma∣riners want imployment; and not fewer then 300000 people thereby imployed by Land would want support.* 3.28 And for default of the Fish they take upon the British Seas, to fraught their Ships, they would not be able to maintain the tenth part of the Ships and men they now set forth to Sea; thereby their Re∣venues and Customs would become small, their Intrado would never sup∣port their ordinary charges; their Ex∣cise must fail, their Trade to the East-Indies, and elsewhere, must faint; the people who now subsist by their Manu∣factures, and contribute to the char∣ges, must be supported by them (which

they are never able to do) or else they must quit their Country for want of maintenance, and come into England, where they will be sure to be kindly re∣ceiv'd, and grow rich

Its an humble Address to his Sacred Majesty that he would be graciously pleased to set up the imployment of the Fishery; for then we should establish our Security and Trade upon our own foundation; (the art and power of our greatest Enemies cannot take it from us.) Its a Treasure equal to that of both In∣dies, in the Riches, Consequence, and Circumstances of it: Insomuch as if we do but improve that, all other Trades will follow.* 3.29 For our Fish will not only furnish us with such Foreign Commo∣dities as we our selves want, but besides large returns in mony, may store us with quantities of all sorts to supply other Nations. It would exceedingly increase his Majesties Revenues, and be of more advantage to his people then all other Commodities or Manufactures which they export and vend. It would be an

excellent School and Nursery of Ma∣riners and Navigators, not only for Sea-service, but for discovery of Foreign parts to vend our Native Commodities: And thereby the Nation would be much strengthned by Sea, and enrich∣ed by Land, both for our own safety, and terror of our Enemies.

And indeed wisdom of State obliges us not to let a Neighbour grow too powerful at Sea; for when his Ma∣jesty ceases to be absolute Master of the British Seas, and with his Trident Sce∣pter to give Laws, we must receive them from others.

And how great a diminution this will be to the grandeur and prosperity of this Nation, let wise men gravely con∣sider. When England hath been the Counter-balance,* 3.30 which time out of mind hath held the Scales between the great Monarchies of Europe, for the safety of the rest.

And I doubt not yet to behold his Majesty culminant in the highest Orb of Glory, and his Dominions fix'd up∣on

the Center of a flourishing Happi∣ness.

His Majesty hath an Imperial Name; it was Charles that brought the Em∣pire first into France; a Charles that brought it first into Spain: Why should not Great Britain have his turn?* 3.31

It is a great advantage which Eng∣land hath by reason of her many safe and secure Harbours, and Narrowness of the Seas: for all Ships which go from East to West, or from West to East, are compelled, because of the dangerousness of the French Coasts, (except it be exceeding fair weather) to make use of the English Harbours. His Majesty being Sovereign of these Seas, can at pleasure command and seize all Ships passing there; especial∣ly the Westerly Winds of those Seas lying on this side the Tropick, and blowing almost continually, do give his Majesty a great deal of conve∣niency to go to Sea, when he plea∣seth.

So that all the Voyages of the Hol∣landers to the East and West-Indies, Spain, the Streights, and other pla∣ces upon his Majesties Seas (his Ma∣jesty being in hostility with them) may be interrupted, their Ships ta∣ken, and their Voyages obstructed. And by consequence the ruine of that Trade of the Hollanders, between the East and West, must necessarily fol∣low.

And in case of a War, England may get more Booty from the Hollanders, then they from England.

His Majesty making War against them by Sea and Land, ruine and confusion must speedily attend them,* 3.32 in respect of the vast Charges and Expences they must necessarily be put unto. For, look upon the States, they are indigent; they owe no less then a Million of our pounds for Interest, which they cannot pay, much less the principal when it shall be re∣quir'd.

Consider, the East-India Company

by reason of their exceeding Charges in enlarging their Dominions there, and the vast expences which must ne∣cessarily attend the keeping of them, cannot be rich For all Countries of new acquest, till they be setled, are mat∣ters rather of burthen, then of pro∣fit.

And certainly the rich Merchants there (the States being now upon the disbanding) will not bring their mo∣ny into their Banks, or lend it to the States. For if they do, their Security is gone, their mony lost, and that which other Nations have in their Banks. And therefore its prudence to get it out of their hands as soon as may be, however not to venture more in that Vessel, which is ready to sink.

The Common people measure the bond of their obedience, by the good always which they receive.

And therefore they being under such great Oppressions and severities unjustly impos'd upon them by the States,

will not long endure their want of Trade; and those great Taxes will in a short time beget a general Revolt in them all. And Amsterdam will prove more formidable to them, then any Army of their Enemies.

For that State which subsists not in Fidelity, can never continue long in Po∣tency.

His Majesty hath at present a potent Fleet at Sea, a stout Militia at Land, and a Magazine of Hearts.

There's no generous English Spirit, but is ready for the Honour of his King, and the good of his Country, to sacri∣fice his Life, and when he hath done, will triumph in the Oblation.

For my part (I thank Heaven) my Veins never knew other Blood, but such as I should be proud to spend in their Service.

And as they are ready to sacrifice their own lives, so for the vigorous prosecution of this War (which on his Majesties part is only defensive, and so most just and honourable) they will

chearfully expend their Treasure, which is the life of the Nation.

And indeed true piety binds Subjects to look upon the Burthen of Princes with a bended knee, rather in time so to de∣serve abatement, then to dispute Authori∣ty.

I hope in a short time, these men will understand their own Interest, which is Englands good alliance.* 3.33 For England hath always been a Back of Steel to Holland, and hath, and yet can afford them greater Donatives, Riches, and Advantages then all the Kings in Europe besides.

But they have so surfeited with Eng∣lands kindness, that like a bad Spleen,* 3.34 they swell so big as makes all Europe lean.

I praise God, I am not of the com∣plexion of th••se men, my Genius never prompted me to the least Trillo of Gran∣deur. Neither am I by my Stars constel∣lated to be rich, let me enjoy but such an estate as will serve me as a pass, to

travel the world without begging, and have an honest Friend for Con∣versation, and one good Book for my Recreation: If Heaven shall vouch∣safe me these Blessings, I can pity the High and Mighty States.
