Coules and Tho. Bankes 1642. A Royall Embassage from the Prince of Orange to the wel-affected Subjects in England WE have maturely considered of this disloyall opposition which have been reflected on our Father the manifold endeavours of your unwearied vigilancy and the obstacles that interrupt the same with the multiplicity of distractions wherein your Kingdome is dangerously involved did forthwith according to our indulgent ●ffection think it expedient to premonish and advertise you of them nerous perils which are imminent and impendent over you it strooke a repercussive griefe and carefull sollicitation into our Princely minde as soone as we had intelligence concerning the same and that their stratagems might prove abortive for the prevention therof we thought good to shew our ●●●lous duty to his Maj●sty our respective affection to his Parliament and the fu●ure security of his Royall Throne and Realme And first were predictate unto you the obscurely hatched conspiracies of the King of Spaine the o●ject of whose sole intents have principally aimed at the destructive ruine of your Nation We have had credible intelligence that he is suddenly resolved to raise a strong and formidable Navie scarec inferiour to that almost Invincible Armado and with a rushing and unexpected throng invade the Land Don Pedro affirmed this to be true and hath conducted many paper-messengers to us concerning the absolute ●ste●pulation and credible assertion of the same Don Pedringano l●kewise my singular and intimate Friend did certifie the same unto me Wherefore we lovingly 〈◊〉 and obsequiously too premonish you to be circumspective and cautious for to our certain knowledge Don Ke●valo Caris is in great preparation to raise and augment his Fleet as appeared by the Notions of our dearest friends But besides this trap there is likewise a dangerous snare distended against your Kingdome which both do violently threaten a most preciptious destruction My intent is not misterious or enigmaticall but rather very perspicuous to be interpreted I meane the Frenchmen who like the Egyptian Locusts who are resolved to 〈◊〉 in the Realm suddenly and so imbrew their inhumane hands in the ●ffusive bloud of the Protestants These with the anxiliary assistance of the rebels in Ireland being linke confederates and once conjoyned in the cruell concatination of tyrannicall consp●reces are able to precipitate the whole Kingdome at one stroke if Gods omnipotent hand do not stay it and your vigilant endeavours prevent it Sed meliora speramus we hope and expect a more happy favourable propitious event Yet notwithstanding without any sup'ne procrastination we humbly beseech for your owne safety particularly and the Epidemicall security of the whole Kingdome that you would with judicious maturity of Counsel seriously consider the perrilous precedent premises and you may then 〈◊〉 that the consquence thereof is very dangerous Wherefore in this respect our humble advice is that you would be graciously pleased to fortifie all the chiefe Coasts and Cinque Porte with Military Arms and strong Ammunition in defence of the Kingdome for otherwise nothing can bee expected but ruinate and precipitate destruction Likewise that you would gravely consider and appoint that the City of London be strongly provided and the Tower soundly searched least any intestine plot should be fomented at home As also that all Mill●●● Ammunition be provided and it be forthwith ordered that the Traine Bands should daily waite for prevention of any conspiracies that should ensu● Thus as we have presented our present care and indulgent sollicitation for the safety and welfare of the Kingdome so likewise wee presume to command respectively our petitionary desire to your Honours First that your Honours would be graciously pleased to condiscend to his Majesties pleasure and just Command without repugnance and opposition for a distractes varience between a King and his Subjects is the first ground and principium of confusion to a Nation Therefore wee humbly implore your Honours to conjoyne with his Majestie in a reciprocall concord that the knot of peace and tranquillitie may be tyed so securely fast that all the hell-guided Conspiracies of Forraigne Enemies may be annihilated and abollished That you would likewise endeavour to concatenate the affections of the people to his Majesty that his Royall Prerogative and Imperiall Throne be not violated and trampled downe by the malicious aspersions of such as are ill-affected and dangerous persons in the Realme That the divisions and distractions in the Kingdome may bee allayed and asswaged to the comfort of his Majesty the Honour of his Parliament and the perpetuall peace and prosperity of the Realme In the meane time my diurnall prayers assiduous Supplications shal be invocated upon the mighty and Almighty assistance and auxiliation of God that all your deliberation and determining Counsels may be directed to the right object and for my part I wil confirm my resolutions am fully intended to assist you with my full power and Forces and I shall likewise diligently endeavour to repe● and detrude those Forraign Enemies And for the Irish Rebels we shall labour to quallifie and by Gods divine providence assisting us wee shal crowne England with an Olive Branch of Victorious Tranquillity in the Kingdome The Impeachment of Sir
