THE COPPIE OF SIR VVILLIAM Erskin and Iohn Meldrum their Letters Patents for the Lights at Winterton HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE LONDON Printed by William Iones dwelling in Red-crosse-streete 1618. THE COPPIE OF SIR William Erskin and Iohn Meldrum their Letters Patents for the Lights at Winterton IAMES by the grace of God King of England Scotland France and Ireland Defender of the faith c. To all to whom these presents shall come greeting Whereas wee haue bin lately informed that the Seas neere and about the parts of Wintertonnesse in our County of Norffolke are of great danger and perill for passing of Ships sayling vnto the North Coast in darke and foule nights by reason of a Sand lying in length from the maine land two furlongs or there abouts vpō the which of late yeares many great losses haue happened to our Subiects sayling neere the same Coast aswell by the lamentable wracke of diuers Ships there as by the losse of many of our subiects their liues and goods which haue beene occasioned by the want of Light howses and lights that might haue beene prouided and set vp at or as neere the said Nesse for direction of Saylers trading or passing to and fro those parts which by the helpe of such Light-houses and lights might haue well bin saued and preuented And that for the scaping and preuenting of the dangers of those parts for the time to come it is very conuenient and necessarie that light-howses should be there erected with lights therein continually burning and maintained in the night time for the direction and safe conduct of Shippes passing by or alongst the said coast in the night time in darke and fowle nights and that almost all the masters and owners of Shippinge trading to our Towne of Newcastle for Coales Fishermen and other Maisters and Owners of other shipping tratrading vppon the said North coast haue heretofore greatly desired the erection of light-houses lights there to be set vp and maintayned and haue offered to contribute for and towards the erection and continual maintenance of the same as by an inquisition or certificate taken at the Cittie of Norwich in the Coūty of Norffolke the eight day of Ianuarie last past before Iohn Corbett Iohn Smith Owen Sheppard and Roger Godsalue Esquires our Commissioners by vertue of Our Commission vnder our great seale of England baring date at Westminster the sixteenth day of

liues and goods of our subiects others as of the shipping of our Kingdomes being a principall honour strength of the same and vnwilling that our louing subiects and others passing by the said North Coast should vndergoe continue still vnder the danger and hazard of the said perilous Sands whereunto by woefull experience they haue heretofore beene too much subiect And hauing beene enformed by our learned Counsell that the erection and mayntenance of such Light-houses and Lights in places needfull for the safetie of our subiects is a right and power remaining in vs notwithstanding the power or authoritie heretofore giuen by the statute made in the eight yeare of the Raigne of our late decre Sister Queene Elizabeth to the Maister Wardens and Assistants of the Trinitie-house of Debtford
