VVE have seen a paper dat 19. of September signed by the Earle of Warwick and sent aboard our Fleet now riding at Anchor of Helford Sluce and under our own immediate Command By which with strange insolence and in a manner very disagreeable to a person of honour whose own condition so absolutely depends upon the preservation of the regall power he requires our Officers to take downe the Standard and to render themselves and the Ships under their command to him who hee saies is constituted by authority of Parliament Lord high Admirall of England for the use of King and Parliament To all which extravagant expressions demands he will receive the most proper answer from the disdaine and courage of those faithfull Officers and Marriners whom he would corrupt who have with such eminent affection and Loyalty which we shall alwaies remember brought that our Royall Fathers Fleet to be imployed under our command for his service who we are confident by Gods blessing will preserve desend the same against any such demands or attempts whatsoever They very well know that it is in the Kings sole power to make a Lord high Admirall of England and that though this our Fleet be now required to be given up for the use of the King and Parliament the King in truth is still in prison with such circumstances of restraint as to say no more are not usuall in the case of the most private person and whose delivery and freedome all his Subjects are obliged to indeavour by the Lawes of God and man with the utmost hazard and in that pious work and whatsoever shall contribute thereunto we have full assurance all the Officers and Mariners of our Fleet will vigorously performe their part and in so doing publish to the world how much they abhorre those that would seduce them And for the encouragement of all those who have any impressions in their consciences of honesty and duty to God and the King and who wee believe by feares and threats are led into this desperate wicked Combination We do by the authority granted Us by our Royall Father in his name who hath the sole power to grant pardons and without whose consent no Act of indempnity can secure any guilty person offer a gracious pardon to all those Officers and Mariners who are now aboard any of the Ships under the command of the Earle of Warwick if they shall quit that service and betake themselves to our protection where they will be received into pay and into a better condition of subsistence then they can be in the employment they now have And if they shall bring with them any of the Ships in which they now are or other Ships they shall continue in the same commands they now have and receive such further encouragement and reward as besides the satisfaction of their Consciences shall be very advantagious to them And if that unhappy Earl himselfe who hath contributed so much to the destruction of Government which himselfe or his posterity can never reasonably hope to survive shall now upon the observation of the temper and disposition of those whose commands he now executes and from whom we believe in his first ingagement he did not expect or apprehend such Commands out of conscience and prudence desire to joyne with us in the rescue of our Royall Father from his unworthy imprisonment and the restoring the almost ruined Kingdome to peace and happinesse and the English Nation to their old Glory and renowne we shall with all princely sincerity and affection take him into our Arms and concurre with him to those great and good ends which can only make the Nation happy Septem 22. Old style 1648. CHARLES P. After the delivering of this to my Lord of Warwick he seemed to be somewhat discontented against the Army and used Major Boswell very civilly and at his departure ingaged himselfe to give a meeting to my Lord Willoughby and used many civill expressions towards his Highnesse the Prince of Wales May it please your Highnesse WE have had the honour to be acquainted with your Highnesse Paper of the 22. of September expressing your displeasure against that Summons sent by the Right Honourable the Earl of Warwick duly constituted Lord high Admirall of England to the Admirall or chiefe Commander of the Fleet of English ships riding off Helvord Sluce which as it was advised and approved by us amongst others at his Lordships Councell of Warre so upon second thoughts we cannot find to containe either insolencie or extravagancie it tending to no other end but the returning of those Ships to the service of the King and Kingdome whose they are from which they have been perfidiously diverted and betrayed and for their reduction whereunto We shall not count the utmost improvement of our courage which blessed be God will not be blunted with any treacherous reflexions nor the hazzard of our lives too deare a Sacrifice and which to endeavour his Lordship is by the obligations of honour and dutie so much ingaged We have considered your Highnesse invitement of the Officers and Mariners of this Fleet to quit and exchange this service which our and their hearts do with the greatest indignation disdaine and abhorre as that which would be a sinne against God an injury to His Majesty a further disturbance of our native Countreyes peace and a violation of those impressions of honestie and duty which we owe to our consciences and trust and so would render us truly unhappy by really contributing to the destruction of the Parliament in whose preservation and honour your Highnesse interest as well as the Kingdomes is so much concerned and to the further effusion of precious blood whose vast expence with the true originalls thereof we beseech your Highnesse to lay sadly to your Princely heart and to make your serious application to those waies which may most directly conduce to a safe and well-grounded peace betwixt his Majesty and the Parliament In order to which a Treaty is now depending and His Majestie in a condition of Freedome honour and safety And in such wayes none shall with more faithfull cheerfull sincere and humble affections serve your Highnesse then Your Highnesse humble Servants Warwick John Coppic John Pear Tho.
