November 1664 Ordered by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons in Parliament Assembled that the thanks of both Houses of Parliament be given unto the City of London for their forwardness in Assisting His Majesty and in Particular for Furnishing Him with several great Sums of Money towards His preparations for the Honour Safety and Trade of this Nation And more Especially well weighed several Periods of His Majesties Speech to both Houses of Parliament on the 24th of November 1664. as followeth viz. Mr. Speaker ANd you Gentlemen of the House of Commons I know not whether it be worth My pains to endeavour to remove a vile Iealousie which some ill Men scatter abroad and which I am sure will never sinck into the breast of any Man who is worthy to sit upon your Benches that when you have given me a Noble and proportionable Supply for the support of a War I may be induced by some evil Councelors for they will be thought to think very respectively of my own Person to make a suddain Peace and get all that Mony for my own private occasions But let me tell you and you may be most confident of it that when I am compelled to enter into a War for the Protection Honour and Benefit of my Subjects I will God Willing not make a Peace but upon the obtaining and securing those ends for which the War is entred into and when that can be done no good Man will be sorry for the determination of it WHereupon the Commons of England acknowledging in the Preamble of their Acts with all humility and thankfulness to His Majestie for his abundant care in their preservation at Sea and of the great Charge necessary for the defence thereof Granted at several times Five Millions Four Hundred and Four Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty Pounds Eleven Shillings and Eight Pence for Extraordinary Supplies towards the Wars out of which his Royal Highness the Duke of York had the Sum of One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Nine Hundred and Two Pounds Fiftéen Shillings and Eight Pence a Months Tax for his Heroick courage at Sea against the Hollanders Upon this consideration the said Creditors and those intrested in the Letters Patents for the special Reprizals applied themselves again in season and out of season to His Majestie and the Councel for some Reparations out of the Imbeazilments of the Prizes taken by the Kings Ships from the Dutch or out of the Monies given by Parliament but answer was made that His Majestie had done for the Petitioners already all what the Law required and so they might rest satisfi'd therewith the Debt being stated and ascertained by a Grant for reparation under the Great Seal of England Afterwards in the Month of Iune 1667. Preparations being made for a Treaty of Peace and common Alliance at Breda the Creditors and Proprietors concern'd in the Bona Esperanza and Henry Bonadventura applied themselves to the King and Ambassadors Extroardinary on both sides as also unto the Directors of the East-India Company of the Netherlands that satisfaction might be given in that singular Case of Courten to take away the continual Claim and Execution so intailed by the Especial Grant under the Great Seal of England that would perpetually be incumbant upon the States General and the East-India Company of the Netherlands until Restitution be made then Iohn de Wit the Pensionarie of Holland who offered Four Hundred Thousand Guilders in the year

1663. had the Confidence to send the draught of the following Articles inter alia in contempt of the King and Kingdom pretending the States had subdued the Parliament by the surprize at Chattam An Abstract of Five Select Articles of the Treaty at BREDA 3. Also that all Offences Injuries Dammages and Losses sustained on either side by the King and the States or their Subjects during this War or at any time before upon any cause or pretence whatsoever be totally Expunged and Buried in Oblivion 4. Moreover that all Ships Goods and Movables which at any time before had come into the Power of either Party or their Subjects should remain to the present Posssessors thereof without any Compensation or Restitution for the same and without any Exception of place time or things 5. Moreover that all Actions Suits and Pretentions whatsoever for the same should remain void obliterated and disanuled and nothing moved thereupon hereafter 8 Its also agreed that under the aforesaid Renuntiation and Stipulation all Letters of Marque Reprisals and Countermarque General and Particular ought to be comprehended and revoked by vertue of that Article accordingly notwithstanding any Grant to the contrary 23. That in case it happen during this Friendship and Alliance that any thing shall be done to the contrary nevertheless the Alliance shall not be Broken but continue in Force only those particular Persons shall be punished that shall do any thing against the Treaty The words in the Articles being set down so general that might admit of forced interpretations beyond the Common intendment of the Embassadors and other Ministers of State Applications were made to Iohn de Wit chief Minister at the Hague by the Advocates and other Agents of Courtens Creditors who told him that a great care ought to be had of particular and private Mens Debts and Interests and especially a tender respect to the Kings Honour and Reputation And finally that as the Articles were penned and sent to Breda they were repugnant to the Laws of God and Mankind and particularly against the Laws and Statutes of England yet de Wit was so puft up with Pride and Insolence that he would give no other answer then this Valeat ut Valere potest and so the Articles were Signed accordingly on the 21. of Iuly 1667. Old stile Note that such words are without any president and were never used in any former Treaty in the World nor mentioned in any Article of the other Treaties with France or Denmark made at the same time in Breda but were Couched in by John de Wit as if he had a design and purpose that the Hollanders and Zealanders should swallow up all Debts Accounts and sunis of Money of Englishmen gotten into the Banks of Amsterdam and Middleburgh upon any cause or pretence whatsoever The Treaty of Commerce and Common Alliance being so concluded It is very remarkable and worthy of your Observation what followed within few Years after upon the 10th of August Old stile Behold the judgement of God Almighty in his Providence concerning the said Iohn de Wit that so worded and writ the Articles of the said Treaty and Cornelius de Wit his Brother Burgomaster of Dort Plenipotentiary in the Surprize at Chattam during the said Treaty Their Tongues were cut out of their Heads and their Fingers cut off their Hands and their Lungs pulled out of their Bodies by their own Subjects in the Hague even in the view and presence of the said George Carew who was then a Prisoner there Committed by the States of Holland under pretence of a Spie but escaped the danger and had been formerly at the instance of some common claimers of Dutch Goods committed at London by Order of the Councel on the 10th of August 1666. as aforesaid and the Letters Patents for 151612 l. and Damages on the same day ordered to be suspended In the Year 1671. the Treary at Breda being declared void by the King and Councel and another War Proclaimed for General Reprizals The Proprietors of the Bona Esperanza and Henry Bonadventura made fresh application to the King and Councel for publick relief against the States a Common Wealth sensible neither of Conscience nor Honour in Courtens Case whereupon it was referred to a select Commitee of the Lords of the Councel who reported their opinion under their Hands in terminis as follows viz. In obedience to your Majesties Order in Councel on the 22. of March 1671. We Humbly represent to your Majestie that the Debt and Damages of those Petitioners being stated under the Great Seal of England whereby it s granted by your Majesty that 151612 l. with all Costs and Charges shall be Reprized We further humbly represent to your Majesty that by the Treaty at Breda all reparations were extinguished and cut off Yet since that time the States General of the Netherlands have not only been refractory in the performance of any agreement concluded on but also have committed many violences and depredations whereby they have wholly cancel'd the obligations of all past Treaties and Agreements and left your Majestie and your Subjects as free in all Iustice and Equity as if they never had been made And therefore we humbly presume to report our opinions to your Majesty that it is now but just and seasonable for your Majestie to insist upon reparations for the Debt and Damages aforesaid In pursuance whereof His Majestie on the 7th of Iuly 1672. sent his Lettes under his Sign Manual to omit no time to his Plenipotentiaries then at Vtrecht to require intire and full satisfaction and reparations of the States General in the singular Case of Courten expressing with great zeal and earnestness that his care in that case should be to protect his Subjects in their just rights as well as to Assist them in the recovery thereof Afterwards by express Order of the Councel Board Instructions were given to the Lords Ambassadors and Plenipotentiaries at Cologne to that end and purpose The States then underhand appealed by their Printed Papers to the Subjects of England for a seperate Peace in that juncture when they were almost brought upon their Knees and would not condescend to any agreement at Cologne but sent a Letter to the King by the Spanish Ambassador unto whom they had given a procuration with instructions to make up such a suddain Peace with the King whereupon His Majestie made this Speech following to both House of Parliament on the 24th of Ianuary 1673. Old stile The Kings Speech My Lords and Gentlemen AT the beginning of this Session I told you as I thought I had reason to do that the States General had not yet made Me any Proposals which could be imagined with intent to conclude but only to amuse To avoid this Imputation they have now sent Me a Letter by the Spanish Ambassador offering Me some Terms of Peace upon conditions formally Drawn up and in a more desent Stile then before It is upon this that I

it appears that Carew's Right and Demand was not abolished or extinguished although seemingly suspended which was revived by the Supream Power and Legislator the Original Grant remaining Extant upon Record in the Rolls to be put into Execution when opportunity best serves until satisfaction and reparation shall be made by the one means or the other Now I must Beg your Honours further Patience and Pardon to shew your Honours who are the most Competent Judges that the States General and their Subjects have not only been Refractory in the Performance of the 8th and 9th Articles agreed upon in the last Treaty but possitively Broke the first and fifth Article of the Treaty Marine Signed at London the 1st of December 1674. By the Commissioners following viz. Thomas Culpeper George Downing Richard Ford William Thompson Iohn Iollife and Iohn Buckworth on the Behalf of the King of Great Britain And Iohn Corver George Sautyn Samuel Beger And Van Vossen P. Duvelaer M. Michielson on the Behalf of the States General IT being agreed by the 8. and 9. Articles between the King and the States General on the 9. of February 1674.
