A89821	The navall expedition, of the Right Honourable, Robert, Earle of Warwick, (Lord High Admiral of England) against the revolted ships: being a true and perfect relation of the whole expedition, from their first setting out from Chatham, to their returne againe into the Downes. Also a narrative or briefe relation of the severall acts of Gods providence to the Parliaments fleete, under his Lordships command in the said expedition: together with a detestation of that scandalous pamphlet of joyning or adhearing to the Prince his fleete. All which is published by the severall and respective commanders under his Lordship in vindication of his honour, and themselves: to which they have all set their hands.

do_v but_o appear_v where_o the_o lord_n admiral_n fleet_n be_v all_o or_o most_o of_o his_o ship_n will_v come_v and_o join_v with_o they_o but_o expertence_n we_o hope_v by_o this_o time_n have_v

have_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o the_o cause_n be_v his_o own_o certain_o the_o lord_n be_v engage_v to_o fit_a instrument_n to_o do_v his_o own_o work_n his_o glory_n

of_o god_n be_v make_v good_a as_o the_o prophet_n say_v the_o pit_n which_o they_o have_v dig_v for_o other_o themselves_o be_v fall_v into_o therefore_o be_v convince_v all_o you_o enemy_n who_o

you_o shall_v see_v what_o become_v of_o they_o who_o fight_v against_o god_n and_o the_o deliverance_n of_o his_o people_n but_o we_o still_o pray_v and_o wish_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v awaken_v

we_o by_o sea_n and_o the_o army_n by_o land_n he_o will_v now_o put_v it_o into_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o parliament_n to_o execute_v justice_n and_o judgement_n upon_o the_o kingdom_n enemy_n and_o be_v this_o once_o effectual_o do_v we_o be_v confident_a it_o will_v deter_v man_n from_o attempt_v to_o do_v such_o horrid_a villainous_a act_n as_o these_o in_o carry_v away_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n strength_n into_o the_o port_n of_o a_o foreign_a nation_n to_o be_v dispose_v of_o by_o a_o foreign_a prince_n but_o we_o may_v just_o say_v the_o want_n of_o execute_v with_o the_o sword_n of_o justice_n have_v occasion_v this_o and_o much_o more_o to_o the_o expend_n of_o the_o kingdom_n blood_n and_o treasure_n we_o know_v these_o line_n will_v distaste_n some_o who_o have_v cause_n enough_o to_o be_v ashamed_a in_o that_o they_o be_v very_o active_a asmuch_o as_o in_o they_o lay_v to_o hinder_v the_o set_n forth_o of_o that_o fleet_n under_o his_o lordship_n which_o god_n have_v own_v and_o bless_v hitherto_o in_o despite_n of_o all_o opposition_n of_o malignant_a and_o malicious_a spirit_n and_o have_v make_v use_n of_o the_o fleet_n as_o a_o instrumental_a cause_n of_o good_a to_o these_o poor_a shake_a kingdom_n but_o if_o it_o be_v object_v by_o any_o that_o the_o revolter_n be_v not_o as_o yet_o all_o reduce_v therefore_o you_o may_v have_v forbear_v to_o speak_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o action_n till_o the_o whole_a work_n have_v be_v accomplish_v to_o this_o we_o shall_v give_v this_o answer_n that_o if_o man_n will_v eye_n providence_n in_o their_o act_n then_o certain_o we_o have_v do_v asmuch_o as_o be_v allot_v by_o the_o almighty_a at_o this_o time_n for_o we_o must_v consider_v god_n enemy_n be_v bound_v have_v their_o station_n set_v and_o further_o they_o can_v nor_o shall_v not_o go_v if_o so_o this_o may_v quit_v all_o and_o teach_v we_o patient_o to_o wait_v god_n own_o time_n for_o the_o bring_n down_o his_o and_o our_o enemy_n have_v we_o be_v free_a to_o have_v act_v in_o that_o place_n where_o we_o be_v by_o god_n blessing_n the_o whole_a work_n of_o reduction_n will_v have_v be_v perfect_v for_o certain_o never_o do_v more_o resolution_n appear_v among_o man_n than_o god_n give_v in_o general_a to_o our_o whole_a fleet_n who_o be_v athirst_a to_o see_v they_o out_o of_o the_o port_n where_o they_o may_v be_v free_a to_o fall_v upon_o they_o but_o we_o may_v just_o fear_v the_o lord_n have_v reserve_v the_o remain_a part_n of_o these_o revolter_n to_o be_v a_o further_a scourge_n to_o this_o nation_n yet_o we_o very_o believe_v the_o time_n of_o their_o reign_n will_v not_o be_v long_o for_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o god_n almighty_a will_v still_o have_v instrument_n to_o stand_v fast_o and_o close_o to_o his_o cause_n in_o all_o time_n of_o straits_n and_o difficulty_n whatever_o for_o the_o back_n slider_n in_o heart_n shall_v be_v fill_v with_o his_o own_o way_n for_o time_n of_o difficulty_n be_v

teach_v we_o to_o give_v all_o the_o honour_n praise_n and_o glory_n to_o himself_o who_o be_v the_o author_n and_o fountain_n of_o all_o good_a be_v due_a to_o no_o other_o in_o the_o world_n which_o we_o hearty_o desire_v to_o do_v in_o this_o now_o to_o conclude_v we_o can_v omit_v to_o speak_v something_o of_o that_o gallantry_n faithfulness_n and_o resolution_n which_o god_n be_v please_v to_o give_v to_o our_o general_n the_o lord_n admiral_n yea_o so_o much_o that_o his_o lordship_n be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o all_o relation_n to_o do_v his_o country_n service_n therefore_o we_o be_v and_o shall_v be_v ready_a at_o all_o time_n if_o god_n permit_v to_o witness_v that_o all_o those_o many_o false_a and_o scandalous_a report_n of_o join_v with_o the_o prince_n fleet_n as_o namely_o that_o false_a and_o scandalous_a pamphlet_n entitle_v the_o lord_n admiral_n and_o his_o officer_n declaration_n to_o be_v utter_o false_a be_v a_o piece_n of_o some_o jesuitical_a spirit_n or_o other_o and_o we_o be_v very_o confident_a his_o lordship_n have_v be_v as_o faithful_a in_o this_o undertake_n of_o he_o as_o any_o whoever_o serve_v the_o parliament_n and_o kingdom_n if_o so_o

and_o cheerful_o have_v offer_v to_o sacrifice_v his_o life_n in_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n for_o his_o country_n liberty_n and_o as_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o fill_v the_o heart_n of_o our_o
