Tyranny of the Dutch against the English wherein is exactly declared the (almost unvaluable) loss which the commonwealth of England hath sustained by their usurpation : and likewise the sufferings and losses of Abraham Woofe, then factor at Lantore, and others in the island of Banda / formerly collected in loose sheets by Mr. Woofe himself ; and now illustrated and extracted out of his papers by John Quarles.

To the most Illustrious and Excellent the Lord Generall, Oliver Cromwell, Captain General of all the Militia of England, Ireland and Scotland. And to the Right Honourable the Councel of State, Constituted for the protection and Conserva∣tion of this Commonwealth.

WHen sad truths finde cheerful remedies, the sufferers finde much encou∣ragement, and the relievers much applause,

VVhat is here presentted, is not the addle fixion of a froathy brain, but a perfect relatiō of an abused Nation: Be therefore pleased to let your serious eyes peruse this small Volume wherein your

Honor shall finde truth pil∣grimaging after Justice.

If Justice then be the ordi∣nary refuge for truth, I hope I have a sufficient plea for my boldness in presenting this truth to be secured by Your Justice.

As I love not adullati∣on, so I know your Honors expects it not; May therfore the principles of wisdom and Justice dwell upon your A∣ctions, that so the abused may find redress, and the abusers punished, Which shall be the hearty and daily Prayers of him that is

A perfect honourer of your Lordships Virtues, Abraham Woofe.
