came as far as the Carpetting making low reverence as the Ambassadors bowed when they came near Her Majesty made them be covered but afterwards they spoke with their Hats off In conclusion the Queen told them that she much desired to hold Correspondence with Her Majesty of Portugal In fine on the 13th of Iune 1641. a Peace was absolutely concluded with the Portugal notwithstanding the earnest endeavors of Don Alonzo Cardenas Leiger Ambassador for Spain who by gifts and promises even as far as the restitution of the Palatinate endeavored to hinder it The Embassadors that were sent to the King of Denmark notwithstanding the great Traffick and Commerce that had formerly bin held between that Kingdom and Portugal were not by reason of the great interest the House of Austria had with those Kings received yet the King gave all possible respect otherwise to them From thence they passed into Sweden and were magnificently entertained at the yong Queens Court at Stockholm where a League was soon concluded and the Ambassadors dismissed according to the custom of that Nation with Gold Chains and the Queens Portraicture in a Meddal of Gold The Ambassador D. Tristano De Mendoza Hurtada that was sent to the States of the Vnited Provinces was received with the like magnificence and seeming affection and a Truce concluded with the Kingdom of Portugal for ten years for a Peace the States would not assent to because they having conquered many places in Brasile Angola c. which belonged to the Crown and Kingdom of Portugal could not make restitution of them by reason they now belonged to the West-India Company nor could the King of Portugal allow the Conquest as things of right belonging to his Crown and depending on it But now we come to treat of a more solemn Embassie to wit that to the Pope Long was it debated in the Assembly of Estates whether an Ambassador should be sent to Rome immediately or a more opportune conjuncture of time be expected Some were of the opinion that the sending an Ambassador without further delay would be a testification of their duty and incline the Popes Holiness to acknowledge Don Iohn the lawful Heir and rightful King of Portugal which would extreamly further and advance the Affairs of the kingdom But others there were who conceived those things rather desirable than feasable and were of the opinion they should rather stay till a fitter opportunity alledging that the King of Spain's present power at Rome might probably oppose the Reception of their Ambassador that although the Pope never was in his heart a Spaniard yet he would never yield to show himself an enemy to the Catholick King That the Spaniards cunningly fomenting the opinion which all the world had entertained that his Holiness did in all things favor the French interest would from such a Reception draw as much as ever they could ask or desire That for this cause the Pope that he might not seem their enemy had always granted them whatever they desired That therefore they thought it convenient first to sound his Holiness before they run the hazard of the disgrace and affront which might fall upon His Majesty and the whole kingdom That in case the Pope should decline the reception of the Ambassador to whom could they repair or appeal to vindicate the injury done to the Crown That many Popes had been s● fascinated to the interest of their own family that the world had very great occasion to believe that their designs tended rather to what was best for themselves then to what was best indeed That the Portugal Nation had as much reason to distrust the Sea of Rome as any whilst they had to their cost had examples how they onely pursued their own ends As particularly Gregory the thirteenth who at first seemed so affectionate to the kingdom of Portugal that he imployed the utmost of his power for the interest of his own family approved of all that King had done That there was none who had more to give or at least who had more to promise then the Catholique King so that in any business of competition he must necessarily gain the better But notwithstanding all these Arguments to the contrary upon the promises of the King of France to be a Mediator at the Sea of Rome for the reception of their Ambassadors by the suffrage of some few voices to make the major part it was concluded That Ambassadors should immediately be sent to Rome And in pursuance of this Vote the King immediately made choice of two reverend and able persons to wit Michael De Portogallo Son to the Count Vimioso of the blood Royal Bishop of Lamego and D. Patableone Rodriguiz Bishop of Elvas No sooner was the news arrived at Rome of their being landed in Italy but the Spaniards in Rome mustred themselves together with resolution either to oppose their entrance or at least hinder their reception whilst on the other side the French Portugal and Catalonians assembled themselves together resolving to hazard their dearest blood in their cause His Holiness seeing these preparations on both sides feared lest his country should be made the seat of a petty war and considering that in any case the dishonor would accrue to him if whilst under his command and protection the person of an Ambassador should be violated strictly commanded all his Guards to take special care to prevent the violencies in tended The Spaniards by this order hindred from what they purposed their Ambassadors openly protested that if his Holiness did receive the Portugal Ambassador they would immediately leave Rome But notwithstanding these protestations and all other opposition they could possibly make in November 1641. the two Portugal Ambassadors being met by divers Cardinals Princes and Cavaliers well armed entred into Rome and were conducted to the Palace of the French ambassador who received them with al respect possible still giving them the precedence Hereupon several Manifesto's are scattered abroad by the two Spanish Ambassadors the Marquess De los Veles and D. Iohn Chiumarrero labouring to prove that his Holiness ought not to receive the Ambassadors of the Duke of Braganza as they stiled him First because he was a tyrant and usurper of that Kingdom which had been in the quiet possession of the Catholick King these sixty years Secondly because he was a Rebel and a perjured person having sworn Allegiance to the Catholique King Thirdly that the reception of these Ambassadors would animate other Subjects of the Catholique King to Rebellion But whilst the Spanish Ambassadors are violently shooting such Paper-Bullets the Portugueses used all their endeavors both by them selves and the French Ambassadors who had express order from the most Christian King his Master to that purpose to prevail with the Pope to give them audience and admit their Embassy but his Holiness was so fearful to displease the Spaniard lest he should afterwards take occasion to revenge himself upon his Nephew 's that he utterly declined

Maurice-town for three months they surrendring their Arms which should be restored to them when they took shipping and in the mean while they should have power to buy them necessary provisions of the Portugals for the voyage 9.

That the Governor should quarter his Forces where he pleased and that the Hollanders should be protected during those three months and having liberty to end their private differences before their own Iudges 11. That they should carry away all their Papers whatsoever 12. That if they could not sell their goods in the said three months time they should leave them with whom they pleased under the obedience of the Portugals to be disposed of according to their own order 13. That they should have all the victuals in the store houses of Recif and the other Forts for their voyage 14. That as to their pretensions against the Portugals they might sue them at the King of Portugals Court. 15. That all their Vessels should be restored unto them which they might fit for their voyage 16. That they might have liberty to advise all their Ships upon the Coast to come and laid their goods at Recif And in the last article it was expressed that upon the demand of the Hollanders that this might not prejudice any former treaty between the King of Portugal and the States General D. Francisco Barreto would not assent thereunto There were other articles likewise granted to the military Forces the sum of which were that all offences and hostages might be forgotten that all souldiers should go out of Recif with their Arms Match lighted Bullet in mouth Flying-colours but coming near the Portugal Army should put out the Match and lay their Arms in those Magazines appointed by the governour of Pernambucco to be restored to them at their departure provided they went to Nants Rochel or to some place in in the United Provinces and not to any belonging to the King of Portugal for security whereof they should give three hostages and all Officers and Souldiers should be shipt together with General Sigismond Schop after the delivery of the Forts of Riogrando Paraiba and Tamarica That the General should have twenty pieces of brass ordinance from four Pound-Ballet to eighteen withal their furnitures besides all necessary Iron-guns for the defence of the Ships that should be afforded them for their transportation with convenient supplyes of ammunition and provision according to the thirteenth Article before recited That General Sigismond and all his Officers of War should have liberty to carry away or sell all his or their goods or slaves That sick or wounded persons should have liberty to stay till they recovered but the Governour would not condescend to release those Hollanders which were prisoners before this surrendry A general pardon was granted to all rebells chiefly to Amboyna Mendaz and all other Indians and Negroes but they were not to have the honor to march out with their Arms. In sum the supream Councel at Recif did oblige themselves for the surrendring of these places upon the signing of these Articles and for the delivering up the Island of Farnam Viaca Noroga Riogrand Paraiba and Tamarica upon the same conditions for the inhabitants as had been granted to those of Recif These Articles were signed and delivered on both sides at the Camp at Taborda on the 18 of Ianuary 1653. and Conditions on both sides punctually observed Thus did the Hollanders loose all their Acquists in Brazile which so exasperated those high and mighty States that at the coming into Holland of myn Heer Sigismondo Schop who had there been General of their Militia they caused him to be imprisoned and tried for his life by a Councel of War but notwithstanding endeavors of his enemies he was acquitted Nor were the Portugals at home less fortunate against their neighbor enemy the Spaniards for to omit many petty skirmishes inroades made by them withal success desirable in the summer 1654.

D. Franciso De Ferrara Rabella arrived in England with Commission from the king of Portugal as Agent to Oliver Cromwel who then swayed here under the title of Protector to make a mo●e firm confirmation of the Peace with England and to advise I suppose about carrying on the War with Spain which when Cromwel had given some reasons to make the world believe he would commence against that Catholick Monarch and how much such a War was for the interest of Portugal none will doubt who have read the foregoing story which made King Iohn court that English Usurper with more submisness and complacency by both harbouring his Fleets and sending presents to his Generals then otherwise his Genius would have permitted him to have done any way in prejudice of Englands lawful KING In the mean time the death of Pope Innocentius the Tenth made D. Francisco de Souza Ambassador at Rome for the King of Portugal make new addresses to Alexander the seventh his Successor for confirmation of the Church Officers in that Kingdom for he had never had any full grant from Innocent but now the Spanish Ambassadors opposed themselves more then ever and by meanes of the Queen of Sweden who wholly imployed her in●erest for the benefit of that Nations endeavoured to frustrate even the Portugueses hopes nay so desperate was the Spaniards malice that they laid several designs to murther the Portugal Ambassador but all proved ineffectual In sum after D.
