France to contribute unto their relief and comfort in Your Name But forasmuch as at present there occur some new difficulties concerning the said Churches Your Majesty would advise more particularly thereupon And lastly concerning the Merchants Ships which come from the United Provinces into this Kingdom and are stopped without permission to Land any where because they are suspected to come from some place infected with the sickness there being no distinction made between Provinces and Cities really afflicted with the said Contagion and those which are not so at all That Your Majesty having an extraordinary apprehension of that disease had great reason to use all possible precaution against it Notwithstanding that the business should also be thought upon more fully All which points abovesaid having been repeated by the said Ambassador at his last Audience and instance thereupon made that according to their Lordships desires Your Majesty would be pleased to explain Your Self in Writing to put the minds of his Superiors out of perplexity and disquiet and Your Majesty having to that purpose desired that all should be comprised in a Memorial for an Answer to be given thereunto in Writing The said Memorial May it please Your Majesty is here most humbly presented with like prayer that such Order may be taken therein as that by a favourable answer which the said Ambassador expects from Your Majesty he may be enabled to give his Masters content M. Van-Gogh From Chelsey July 21 31 1664. HIS MAJESTIES ANSWER To the fore-going MEMORIAL THe Ambassador of the United Provinces having so particularly set down the Answers he received from Us in his several Audiences to his particular demands albeit We think he may well acquiesce with the same yet since he hath thought fit by his Memorial to desire an Answer in writing We are very well pleased to satisfie him herein that the States General may see the sincerity of Our proceedings towards them Concerning the preparations and provision of Vessels of War it is notoriously known that in the beginning of this year We gave order for the providing a less guard of Ships for the Summer then hath been set out any year since our happy Restoration for that season believing Our Self to be in so good Intelligence with all Our Neighbours that We might well 〈…〉 charge when Our Parliament upon the cry of the whole Nation with some earnestness pressed Us to take an extraordinary way to repair Our people for the many and daily injuries they sustained from the Subjects of the United Provinces by depredations at Sea in other places as well as in the East-Indies in which there were some circumstances of that presumption in declaring their Dominion and inhibiting of Commerce against the Law of Nations as all Princes are equally concerned therein with Us We made no other answer to Our Parliament then that We made no doubt but that Our good Allies the States of the United Provinces to whom in truth the injuries sustained could not reasonably We thought be imputed would cause justice to be done in order to which We would appoint Our Minister residing there to make a representation and complaint For which temper and moderation when it may be another resolution considering the nature of the provocations would have been more agreeable to the desires of Our Parliament We expected the thanks of Our good Neighbours when on the contrary they no sooner received advice of this Answer returned by Us then in a very extraordinary manner they gave direction for the present setting out of a very great number of Ships of War without any other visible cause then to manifest to the world how much they defied Us and Our Parliament Upon all which as We should have been thought to have had very little foresight for our Honour or Interest if We had not prepared a considerable Fleet for Our defence the charge and expence whereof We would have been very glad to have prevented so the same being prepared it will be thought a very strange proposition that it be 〈◊〉 kept within the Ports and it will be found by their demeanour that their Instructions are not to do any injury to Our Neighbours and Friends but to defend Our Self Our Dominions and Our Subjects from receiving injuries from Our enemies Nor in truth can we believe or imagine that the United Provinces from whom We have deserved well and with whom We are ready to maintain a fast friendship to which many other considerations besides that great one of the Protestant Religion should dispose both of Us will deny to do Us justice upon Our reasonable demands or that they will ever sacrifice the Peace of their Country for the support of the miscarriages of particular persons or a particular Company who We find by experience more considers their own profit and interest then the honour or safety of the Government under which they live which the States General will well weigh and consider As We did with great frankness and as an everlasting manifestation of Our affection and kindness conclude the late Treaty with the United Provinces by which many very memorable discourtesies and injuries to Our Self and Our people and particularly that of Amboyna were put in oblivion So We have most exactly observed every Article on Our part and have no sooner been moved in any particular in which the Subjects of the United Provinces have been grieved then We have given order for their redress in the most expedite way without putting them to those formalities which are usual in Courts of Justice whereas We are very sory to say that upon all the complaints made at the Hague by Our Minister in which the matter of Fact hath been most notorious and convincing and the Right most apparent redress hath not been given to any one and such delayes used in all as are upon the matter and in the consequence of it a plain denial of Justice which brings every day great complaints to Us from Our Subjects of all parts Notwithstanding all which We have not to this day granted one Letter of Mart upon the Subjects of the United Provinces Concerning Captain Holmes We have with great sincerity assured the Ambassador that he had no Commission to take Capo Verde nor any other place belonging to the Dutch or to do any Act of Hostility upon any of the Subjects of the United Provinces that was not for the defence of Our Subjects and their Trade into those parts And we cannot but expect that this Our free Declaration should find more credit with Our Allies then any informations or examinations of Mariners and Sea-men who seldom know what they inform We expect the said Captain Holmes his arrival here every day and will then upon due enquiry into all that he hath done determine what is just The Ships at present designed for those parts are Ships of Trade and have neither power nor will to wrong the Subjects of the United Provinces But we are very heartily
