Love receive his fatal Blow at Tower-Hill accounting it the Day of his Glorification But now observe from whence came the rise of these Distractions Of which we may truly say according to the old Proverb used by our Fathers In nomine Domini incipit omne malum All our evils have been derived from the corruption of the Clergy and such as the Laity that have been wedded to their Faction The end therefore of this observation is to shew That it concerns the peace of every Common-wealth to see that the Civil Interest be secured out of the reach of any Clerical Encroachments or Pretences But to Intelligence The Copy of a Letter from Holland SIR OUr Designes here run high and resolved and since so unhappy a difference has broken out we are determin'd to second our enterprizes with all the intention of spirit and prosecution that either our estates or lives can reach At present it is the publike care in dispa●ching Ambassadors to Germany and Sweden to heighten the Cause by all possible assistance that either Money or Rhetorick can ingage Van Trump has mustered our Mariners and feasted the Captains aboard with all variety of entertainment and language great promises are made of vast sums to incourage the Instruments of the Design and nothing so little doubted of as the infallible successe of Victory what disparagements we can fasten either upon your Cause or Navy we cannot fail to brand you with Great hopes we whisper to our selves of Mountains in the Moon which we seem confident of in the Expedition to the Summer-Ilands and to that purpose a fleet is dispatching out The main businesse of the State now in agitation is the election of a Captain General much strugling there is to renew the house of Orange and much more to confer the honour upon the King of Scots for whom the Zealanders press hard and very many of our swaying Statesmen so that it is conceived by the wisest heads he is the most likely though the most dangerous to carry the Vote Our English prizes are now upon sale both Goods and Barks and nothing is wanting to expresse our spleen and hatred to your Common wealth We hear that the King of Scots has concluded a Peace between France and Spain for three years for which office of Reconciliation he has received the Golden Staff from the Kings hand which is as neer an adm●t●ance into the bosome of the Crown as the dearest affection of the State can possibly express and for the support of his Majesty he is granted and allowed the honour of a Guard of Gentlemen to attend him and whatsoever souldiers he shall entertain they are involved within the community of the French pay The Lord Wilmot is gone for Germany to the Dyet to excite the free Princes for the advancement of his Masters Interest in the new Ingagement in the mean time the Lo Digby by the assignation of his Majesty of France has leave given him for two months to negotiate for the King of Scots in Holland till such time he can provide to go over thither himself By my next you may expect an account of the great fleets putting to sea in the mean time I am as by duty of affection ever bound Amsterdam Novemb. 17. 1652.
