betwixt five and six of the Clock next Morning made above an hundred shots at the Houses in the Key for two Howers shooting crosse-bar-shots and many Bullets of twelve pound weight The names of the Captaines and Masters of the Ships were C. Hadock Commander of the Fleet. C. Lee. C North. C. Bedwart C. Peacock Master of the Pinnace and thereabouts all the while One of those Ships was directly planted against the House where the Queen lay and that and the other made many shots over it and on every side about it Her Majesty hereupon was suddainly called up out of Her Bed to avoid the Danger and leaving the House went and sat down under the Brow of an Hill which secured Her from the shot The Lords and Ladyes who were all thereabouts lodged made hast to goe with and after the Queen some of their Houses having been shot through before and the Bullets then flying about them in the Streets and Fields as they went And as they sate under the Hill some flew over their heads casting some rubbage and dust though no Danger then upon them so that of all the Queenes Company God be thanked not one was kil'd or hurt or touched though one of the common Souldiers was sore torn and a Serjeant slaine out right not farr from the Queenes Lodging These Ships upon Advertisement brought them of the Queenes comming were seen to hye away presently from Newcastle where till then they lay to doe such Service as they were directed to And where they are said to have bragged they would board sinke or sinke with the Queenes Ship could they meet it Gods Goodnesse gave them not the power of tryall by Sea though the Divells malice in them made them attempt to doe that Mischief by Land And to doe it the better in the Night they landed some of their Men on shoare who were heard to enquire for the Queenes Lodging at three of the Clock which they shot at by six a shroud suspition with the rest what was the Mark they aimed at Whether by Commission and by whose these bould Men did this barbarous Outrage the Justice of Heaven and Earth will doubtlesse concurr to examine and punish that so great a Blot and Burden of shame and Guilt may not lye on the Nation Upon this deliverance from the shot Her Majesty went that Day further out of their reach from Burlington Key to the Town And the Ammunition ship all this while in the Key hit though little hurt with all their shots was unladed and the Arms carried to the Town and there carefully kept in the old Church of the Monastery now decayed The Parish for that Sunday being desired for fear of danger to go to their Neighbour Churches at hand or to come so many as could to the Queenes Court where by Her Majesties leave there being else where no convenient Roome to be had Her Houshold had Service and Sermon for that Day At this the Country People wondered much who believed all with the Queen to be Papists though of all the English in Her Majesties Houshold not one Woman and but four men be all So willing are some to deceive and others to be deceived On Sunday after necessity pleading the Passe Her Majesty in the after-noone Marched with the Army and Ammunition from Burlington to Norburton about foure Miles off Thence next Day to Malton And there the Foot being left was next Day conducted by the Horse to York No Enemy all this while opposing or appearing That Ancient City received Her Majesty with many hearty welcoms and shouts and blessings accompanying Her all the way Shee went Sir Edmund Cooper Lord Major that true and tryed Lieutenant to his Liege and Sir Thomas Widdrington Recorder of the City with Speeches to that purpose So She was brought with much Joy and Honour on Tuesday March the seventh to Her Lodging in Sir Arthur Ingrams House where a Court of Guard attends Her Majesties safety which the Guard and Blisse of Heaven make good to Her as it hath hitherto been most mercifully and visibly with Her and for Her in Her Departure Absence and Return which hath been happy healthy and safe almost to a Miracle The Circumstances of Her going out were strange beyond all belief both at home and abroad but the issues have appeared good and happy above all expectation And Her staying as wonderfull That Her Majesty and Her Retinue being about or above two hundred Persons for Eleven Moneths time in a strange Land and unwonted Diet and Dwelling should but bury one Consumptive Man in Holland who brought his Death with him out of England but keep in and come out with so good a health was an unlook't for but not un-enjoyed Blessing And Her safety in Her comming out as singular At Her Majesties first comming out to Sea the Storms were most fierce and terrible for many Dayes But at the second the Winds and Weather most faire and comfortable all the time God Allmighty most mercifully preserved and blessed Her Majesty in both And at last gave Her an Arrivall most happy both to Her Self and to many Since that He delivered Her from the villainous attempts of the ships at Sea which put Her precious Life to a manifest Perill and Hazard A Signe from Heaven of Blessings to come upon the King and Queen to which the Majesty of Heaven long preserve them and the Kingdom by them Her MAJESTIES LETTER Sent to the STATES Concerning the stay of HER AMMUNITION-SHIP THE QVEENE OF GREAT BRITTAIN out of a desire by all means to conserve the friendship betwixt the King and the Lords the States Having omitted to take notice of very many indignities by which Shee hath been provoked here doth finde Her Selfe at this present offended in so high a degree That Shee cannot any longer with the Honour of the King Her most Deare Husband with-hold this Complaint which Shee now makes unto the Lords the STATES concerning an Order made to search and make stay of a Vessell which is Fraughted and Charged with Goods belonging to Her for which notwithstanding the STATES have already accorded their Free Passe-Port The QVEENE makes no difficulty to avow the transport of Ammunition as being absolutely necessary for Her safety and Shee hath chosen to furnish Her Selfe by this way rather then that of demanding a Licence by reason of an Order formerly made by the STATES to forbid the transport of Arms or Ammunition either for the KING or Parliament Which Order the KING hath great cause to believe very partiall for the Parliament by putting them in equall ranke with Him But the default of Observation of that Order hath been yet more displeasing to Her For that since that time great quantities of Ammunition have been transported for the Service of the Rebells and Ships also bought to be employed against the KING If the QUEENE hath not asked a particular Licence for all the things necessary for Her Service it hath been out of this consideration that Shee might not cast the STATES upon the inconvenience either of contradicting their own Order or of giving just offence to the KING But since all the care Her Majesty hath taken and the precautions used to conserve a good intelligence between the KING and the STATES which is established by so many past Treaties hath produced nothing but a continuation of Affronts and prejudices to the KINGS Service Her Majesty is obliged to make this Declaration That Shee receives this Order given for the stay of that Ship for a notable and high injustice and an indignity which Shee is obliged very neerly to resent Wherefore Her Majesty doth expect That the Lords the STATES having better considered the matter will give way to the departing of that Ship together with whatsoever is charged upon it for Her Service without which Her Majesty cannot resolve to depart Her Selfe The QVEENE is obliged to represent to the Lords the STATES that this injustice and Affront which Shee hath received by the arrest of this Ship cannot passe for lesse then a violation of the Friendship betwixt the KING and the STATES the consequences whereof will be very dangerous Wherefore Shee doth hope That they will not offer so just ●ledge● cause of offence unto the KING nor so grea● a displeasure unto Her Selfe FINIS
