〈…〉_z whereupon_o we_o be_v very_o sensible_a of_o this_o extreme_a dishonour_n to_o we_o that_o a_o town_n of_o such_o importance_n and_o so_o near_o to_o the_o place_n of_o our_o present_a

to_o the_o earl_n of_o northumberland_n and_o by_o our_o command_n signify_v unto_o he_o under_o our_o own_o hand_n to_o deliver_v the_o command_n of_o our_o ship_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o another_o

of_o our_o say_a navy_n but_o to_o employ_v it_o against_o we_o and_o to_o take_v prisoner_n such_o of_o our_o captain_n as_o express_v a_o loyalty_n to_o we_o according_a to_o their_o oath_n and_o the_o duty_n of_o subject_n and_o that_o a_o ship_n of_o we_o late_o employ_v for_o our_o particular_a service_n into_o holland_n and_o return_v from_o thence_o with_o some_o of_o our_o proper_a

expose_v to_o danger_n we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o fear_v that_o sir_n john_n hotham_n and_o other_o of_o his_o confederacy_n will_v for_o our_o good_a and_o the_o good_a of_o the_o kingdom_n make_v prize_n of_o these_o also_o and_o by_o the_o opportunity_n of_o that_o journey_n we_o ourselves_o be_v now_o full_o inform_v of_o the_o certainty_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v before_o receive_v but_o from_o the_o relation_n of_o other_o and_o there_o receive_v a_o lamentable_a petition_n of_o our_o subject_n of_o those_o part_n complain_v of_o the_o unheard_a of_o

our_o good_a people_n we_o have_v take_v this_o resolution_n by_o god_n blessing_n and_o the_o assistance_n of_o our_o good_a subject_n to_o force_v sir_n john_n hotham_n and_o all_o that_o shall_v
