were, first the repairing of our new impaired Navy Royal, and the decayed Sea munition. Secondly, the re-edifying of the breaches made in our Forts and Haven Towns. Thirdly, by a supply and speedy aid and assistance for Denmark.

Also they made Declaration of the late Suits and Petitions of our Marriners, having lately received from them a Bill of grievances against the Duke for defect of payment, and that not of some few, but the whole Company.

Herein the Commons did declare that they thought themselves bound in Conscience (as helping the oppressed) and in pollicie in preventing all such combustions to patronize and cherish them. Also they thought it expedient that all such books as have been que∣stioned in Parliament, and since tollerated might after the dissolving thereof, by the virtue of the former Protection, pass uncontroulable, and the Authors thereof without molestation.
