A Copie of a LETTER Sent to the most Illustrious and High borne Prince RUPERT By the grace of God Count Palatine of the Rhine Duke of Bavaria c. Translated out of high Dutch Printed according to Order London printed by Moses Bell 12. Aug. 1644. A Copy of a Letter to Prince RUPERTS Highnesse translated out of high Dutch SIR THe love and honour which I owe and beare to the most Illustrious Palatine Family inforce me to addresse my selfe unto your Highnesse a Branch of that Princely Stem of extraordinary expectation to restore by Resolution and Armes to their just Possessions and Dignities Princes of an Electorall House of the Roman Empire and of the Blood Royall of Great Britaine made the scorn and mockery of the House of Austria which neither by Treatis nor Threatnings could hitherto be effected It is Sir to let you know that which none about you will or if they would dare tell you the truth in that those Counsels and Actions which now in England you so eagerly prosecute tend extremely to your dishonour and weakning Persons which are much interessed in matters may be thought not altogether fit to be consulted touching the things in which they are ingaged that I who am of neither Partee now in Arms may hope to be heard without prejudice and that you will esteeme those of your owne side in like or worse condition who being Papists they and none but they can by killing of the servants of God be meant to think they serve God or necessitous persons whom Caesar telleth you have no hope but in a Civill Warre are far the greatest number the first undertakers and most obstinate prosecutors of all that side with you And glad I am that this Paper will not feare to tell you how much you dishonour your selfe by fighting not only on the side but even for the cause of such men who have beene and still are in the number of the greatest enemies of your House Such are those very persons which have beene the Complotters and are the Fomenters of that Civill Warre Those I meane who in the Breach of Bohemia instilled their venome into your Grandfather King James his eares That your Fathers most just Title by a lawfull Election to that Kingdome was no other then by usurpation and that the Prince Elector was thereby the cause of the present troubles in Germany In the cause of the Palatinate where no pretence of Usurpation could be fastned it being your Fathers birth right they dealt more subtilly but as falsly as in that of Bohemia When it had been too open and palpable to have disswaded the King wholly from assisting his onely Daughter in recovering her Dowrie and her children their Patrimonie Your kinde enemies one while by sending too little aid and that for the most part unseasonable other times by wasting opportunities in tedious Embassies or setting on foot crosse Designes were the cause that the Palatinate was rather betrayed then neglected And what is the end and scope you aime at but the destruction of them who never assembled since the first of your sufferings but did highly resent and take to heart your wrongs and sufferings and made such large offers for the redressing of them and so earnestly pressed the sudaine and serious taking the matter in hand that the businesse of the Palatinate what pretence soever could be made was the principall cause of dissolving the Parliament in the one and twentieth yeere of that King And although it cannot be said thereupon that the Prince Electors Cause was for that of Bohemia was very odious wholly laid by yet was it never committed as was desired to the managing of the Parliament nor their Counsell asked in it lest it should have beene put into their hands who would have dealt in it Bona fide But how hath the influence of the favour of your Royall Unkle the King of great britaine toward you expressed clearely by the liberall aid sent into Germany unto the King of Sweden with respect and reference unto the sufferings of his onely Sister and Princely Nephews been stopt by sending very little supply of men or money after the first How have Ambassadours dispatched from the Protestant united Princes in Germany which had regained a very considerable part of that Country sent unto the King for aid to keep at least what they had gotten beene sent away without effect Nor could it be otherwise untill by the Prince Electors an your Personall repaire to the Court of England and standing somewhat betwixt his Majestie your Unkle and your whispering enemies you obtained some supply of both kindes But lest you should mistake and thinke them some others then those which gave the counsell in King James his time or that you are not now fallen among those very Councellors and men of their election compare the practices of them in King James his time with those which in the reigne of King Charies even to this day they have not diverted from and you shall finde still the same things Which of those men whom then you might suspect to be your enemy hath since this Parliament beene made your friend and how was the reconciliation made What though some that were then Counsellors are now dead of them undoubtedly some you suspect not others were not the principall Agents for since their death the same Counsels notwithstanding Some forces were sent at the beginning of the troubles of the ●alatinater under the raigne of your Royall Grandfather the like was sent in behalfe of the Prince Elector to the Swede at his first advancing into Germany Very little supply went from England yet some both to your Father from King James and to Him also and your Brother from King Charles Ambassadours were often sent and as often deluded in both times And as before while a Fleet was rigged and sot saile to Algier for the conquering of the Pirates the Emperour Spaniard and their Allies over-ran the Palatinate So lately when it was feared by your enemies that the Kings patience toward the Emperour and Spaniard for his Sisters sufferings and her Childrens would shortly come to am end for it was determined that if Justice were not done in the Prince Electors Cause before such a time his Majestie would endeavour by force of Armes himselfe to doe it a plot was contrived to turne the edge of the Kings anger upon the Pirates of Sally with another Fleet that the great Pirate of Christendome might once more illude the Just and Royall Indignation of King Charles conceived against the Emperour Touching this Parliament I have heard that the consideration or rather memory of your great Cause preoccupied the vehement resolution of the States then assembled Was not this preventing of the Houses undaunted constancy to appeare in the matter an Art which your Adversaries are not now to learne to wring the worke from the Parliament and mould it after their owne fashion Howsoever you cannot doubt of the principall
