THE HOLLANDERS EMBASSAGE TO ENGLAND Concerning The good will which they bear to the Protestants in Ireland Signified in a Letter which they sent to Sir Iohn Penington Vice-Admirall of his Majesties Fleet. ALSO His LETTER and their ANSWER AS ALSO The Description of the Sea-fight which was between the Hollanders and the Navie belonging to Dunkirk which was provided to ayd the Rebels in Ireland the Hollanders getting the Conquest and they the Overthrow WITH The humble Petition of the inhabitants of the Countie of Essex To the honourable Knights and Burgesses of the House of COMMONS in Parliament London printed for Iohn Smith 1642. THE HOLLANDERS Embassage to ENGLAND LET no Roman Catholike look or cast a view upon these lines lest he find himself more shook than one troubled with a Tertian Ague for he shall find here no comfort but many crosses no Pope worshipped but in the Highway to be confounded No treason broaching but traytors set on tilt all Popish dregs being cast forth for the divell to feed upon No Peace proclaimed to the Babylonish Whore but a bloody warre no Comedie but a Tragedie Performed not alone by the English but also by true and noble spirited Hollanders whose love to England hath and is daily expressed which the Spaniard is able to witnesse but not delight to heare of in regard that their plate hath so often supplyed the Hollanders coffers in spite of Spains proudest Dons or Romes malicious curses who are able to do as much harme as their blessings good O what a heart-aching to them was that happy Marriage of our High-born Princesse the Lady Marie to that worthy Prince William of Nassau Prince of Orange sure it was as prejudiciall unto them as their overthrow in eightie eight but it is ours and Hollands joy whose loyaltie late proffered for the good both of our King and Country I thus relate The newes being arrived in Holland of the Protestants in Irelands calamity they the States of Holland were very much grieved as if that they had been partakers of the others miserie And truly so it doth behove each well-affected Christian who is ambitious of nothing but to embrace true Pietie to assist and ayd his friend being in adversitie The heathen Queen Dido having been once in trouble her self did the rather give ear to the Trojan Prince Aeneas his misfortunes saying thus Miseris succurrere disco Having been in trouble my self I learn now to succour those which are troubled And yet there are a sort of people in the world which are friends to none but those which are in prosperitie which Ovid having had experience of writ thus Donec saelix multos numerabis amicos Tempora si fuerint nubila solus eris As long as a man is happie that is worldly rich he shall be sure to want no friends but his prosperitie being eclipsed with clouds of adversitie then his former sycophanrs will answer him with a truely I have forgot you But the Hollanders prove themselves to be of another Nature making this loving proffer That if they might have priviledge to fight upon his Majesties Seas there should neither passe by them Spanish or French fleet to do either the Protestants of England or Ireland any harm Thus they proffered not when the Protestants of Ireland were in prosperitie but now being in adversitie which is true friendship indeed and now to make their proffer good they have proceeded to action Thirtie of the Hollanders men of warre scouted up and down the Seas toward Dunkirk because it was reported in Holland that a Navie was dispatching from Dunkirk to aid the Rebels in Ireland Whose Navie these Hollanders with their prospective glasses discovered and presently dispatched their packet-boat unto Sir Iohn Pennington Vice-Admirall of his Majesties Seas to know whether they should set vpon them or not who having no Commission from the King or Parliament gave them no Answer presently but first sent Letters to know whether their passage should be stopt or no whose Answer was that it should Then to the same effect did Sir Iohn Pennington answer the Hollanders Messenger of which they were as joyfull as the birds of the Spring sayling bravely towards them to the great amazement of the Dunkirk Navie Who stood upon their guard as well as they could but the Hollanders made such havocke amongst them at length they had little courage to go to assist the Rebels in Ireland having so much to do at home the fight lasted above forty eight houres many of the ships which belonged to Dunkirk were taken and many sunk to the eternall honour of the Hollanders but disgrace of themselves thus doth God revenge their cause which put their trust in him THE HUMBLE Petition of the inhabitants of the Connty of Essex To the Honourable Knights and Burgesses of the House of COMMONS in Parliament The humble Petition of the Knights Gentlemen Ministers and other Inhabitants in the County of Essex SHEWETH UNto your Honorable House that we are truly sensible of your great care and extraordinary endeavours to settle our Religion and Peace and daily give thanks to God Almighty for it And we do further in all humility present to your Honourable consideraions which wee do apprehend a great stop in Reformation of matters of Religion and our selves together with you and the whole Kingdome to be in great danger of the Papists and other ill-affected persons who are every where very infolent and are ready to act the parts of those cruell blood-suckers in Ireland if they be not speedily prevented by means whereof our Trading especially of Clothing and Farming grew a great pace to so great a damp as many thousands are like to come to suddain want Nor can we expect any redresse therof unlesse the Bishops and Popish Lords be removed out of the House of Peers Therefore wee humbly pray that you would earnestly mediate His Majesty and the House of Peers That our Brethren in Ireland may speedily be relieved and the Papists throughout the Kingdome be disarmed and that such defects of Arms as in your discretions shall appeare to be meet may be supplyed and this County and Kingdom put into such a Warlike posture as may be best for its defence and safety and that the Bishops and Popish Lords who as wee conceive have hindered the successe of your Godly Endeavours may be put out of the House of Peeres Not doubting but then our Petition formerly presented to your House will receive a more full and speedy Answer And your Petitioners resolving in all just and honourable wayes according to the late Protestation to assist you with our lives and Estates against the Enemie of God the King and State humbly pray to Almighty God for your good successe
