That the Churches were all built by the Roman Catholicks 2. That the Major parte of the people in those United Provinces remayned still Roman Catholicks 3. That the States had kept the possession of those Churches eighty yeares from the Roman Catholicks 4. That the Protestants in France who denied the Popes supream●●y were allowed Churches wherein many of the Netherlanders had free access 5. And lastly that it was very scandalous that the Roman Catholicks should be confined to such pore consecrated meeting places for the service of God in the cheifest C●tties and townes of the United Netherlands Yett all those Arguments would not preva●le with the Amsterdamers who pretended that it would be a badge of conquest over them to alter any thing of their goverment in poynt of Religion And having gotten those Churches by their victorious Armes with such congregations into them they would not soe tamely parte with either The like congregations are not to be found in any other parte of the world ga●hered together by the sword regulated by the Civ●ll Magistrates as they are in the United N●therlands During this confusion the Maritine Plenipotenciary Cornelius de ●●tt who had bin newly gratified with 36000. gilders by the States Generall for his good service at sea in that Expedition where the Earle of Sandwich was fyred was contriving how to poyson or pistoll the Prince of Orange at land and to that purpose treated with one William Titchelaer a Chyrurgion at Peirshill a tenant under that Plenipotentary to accomplish the designe Corn●●ius de Witt insinnuating to him that the Prince being now made Statholder by the meane people they would not rest untill they had made him Soveraigne and consequently subverted the Goverment of the Country and that if he would undertake the busines to dispatch him there were aboue thirty Lords in the Goverment of Holland that would very well requite him besides he should have 3000.

King James died and likewise Prince Maurice then the States Generall sent their Embassadours into England to treat with King Charl●s the first concerning a league offensive and defensive against Spaine which they effected and agreed that it should continnue untill the Paltzgrave should be restored and the States Generall setled however that for the space of fifteene years neither party should treat upon any peace or truce without the consent of both This treaty being concluded at Southampton was signed the 25. of November 1625. whereunto the States Generall annexed their prote●●ation in theise words following viz That if his Majesty should not be satisfied within a prefixed time concerning the Massacre and spoyle of his subjects at Ambo●na committed by the Hollanders that then his Majestie might seeke satisfaction by reprisalls or other wise Which notwithstanding the protestation there was noe satisfaction or reparation obtained during the raigne of King Charles the frst As the Hollanders could never bring King James into any league soe King Charles could never b●●ng the States Generall to any performance The next yeare after the treaty the States Generall in stead of Equipping out Shpps against Spaine they send twenty Shipps of warr to ●●list the French King at Rochell and the Isle of Ree to the great oppression of the Protestants in that Kingdome where notwithstanding the new Alliance made by the Marriage betweene the King of great Brittaigne and H●nri●tta Maria a Daughter of France Yett Cardinall R●●hel●●●u contrary to promises and agreements depressed the Hugonetts at Home but assisted the Protestant Princes with men and money a broade holding it to be the interest of France to keepe under any rising party there but to incourage and strengthen them in all other places to oppose Spaine and the House of Austria their enemies The foure intire subsidies given to King Charles the first in the beginning of his raigne being expended with other monies towards reliefe of Nochell against the forces of France and Holland they both knew the depth of his Majesties p●●●se a●d the strenght of his armes during his time and toke their Meas●res accordingly knowing that his revenue was not sufficient for any action to question France or the States Generall for any s●oyles or incro●thments upon his Majesty or his subjects whatsoever In the yeare 1630. the King of Spaine desirous of a peace with England offered satisfaction for wrongs and injuries done then the King of great Brittaigne acquainted the States Generall thereof and would have included them in the treaty at Madrid according to the forementioned agreement but the States Generall upon the first rumour of an overture for peace entred into a further league with France and agreed upon Articles with that Crowne to devide the Spanish Netherlands Equally betweene the French and the United States and soe they left the King of England at liberty to doe what he pleased with the Spaniard the States Generall refusing a peace with Spaine upon any conditions whatsoever It was against the interest of Holland and their Religious concernments to end the warr soe longe as there were plate fleets and other spoyles to be had upon such easie termes During the subsequent tenn years when the King of great Brittaigne was at peace with France Spaine the States Generall and all the world in a common Amity with the Crowne of England excepting the East and West-India Companyes of the Netherlands a rebellion broake out in Ireland the Scotts invaded England and the whole Kingdome divided into Factions every man driveing on his owne perticular interest neglecting the publick during that longe vacation of Parliaments while the Hollanders ingrossed all manner of Navigations and traffi●que sayling in light built bottomes to English plantations The native seamen were then discouraged port townes decayed Cloathing townes depopulated trade insenceably declyned and the comon people became miserable and pore in the midst of plenty In the Conclusion of those tenn

the world as the Generallity of his owne Subjects implying from thence that the greatest happines of a King consisted in the prosperity of his Kingdomes And Cardinall Mazarine was of an opinion that an honest man ought not to be a slave unto his word implying from thence aluding to Portugall and Spaine that it was better to vyolate a promise in diverse Cases upon any emergent contingences then to prejudice many millions of people by keeping it The Motto non nobis nati sumus is more properly applicable to such publique Ministers then to private persons It was held for a great virtue amongst the Pagans for any man to love his country certainly then it must be a Damnable vice amongst Christians for any man to hate the land wherein he toke his first breath And there cannot be a greater demonstration of that iniquity then to wound the Honour and reputation of those Princes who represents the glory wisdome courage and conduct of their Subjects and Servants There is noe perfection in man neither doe I beleive that all the best Councellours of Princes are either saints or Angells Yett I am confident that those who sitt upon the topps of Mountaines can see further then they that stand upon Mole hill● And that the Caball at white hall as they are termed in the appeale gave the King of great Brittaigne the most wholsome Councill for the honour and interest of England that ever was given within those walls concerning a warr with the Hollanders Advised in such a Juncture of time that the States Generall Hectored both England and France and boasted in the French Court that the King of great Brittaigne had neither money nor creditt to ●e●t out a man of warr And in that Juncture when the Comedians and publike Harbours in the United and Spanish Netherlands had their Screenes and Sceans painted with the Trophies of Chattam And even in that Juncture when the Councell of Spaine had rejected any nearer Alliance with Great Brittaigne or to give His Majestie any Assistance whatsoever against the Hollanders that had soe lately insulted ouer him and his Kingdomes The Appealants make a great noise with their Flourishing language against Englands Alliance with France and the prodigious growth of that Kingdome Since the Leagues and Alliances continued soe long betweene France and Holland against Spaine and England and now they feare the dreadfull conquest of the United Provinces and the Spanish Netherlands And say in their 15. 18. and 19. Summary hints to the Parliament that there will be an unavoydable breach with Spaine in case the Alliance with France continues and how fatall the consequences of a Spanish warr will be and then impertinently propounds how much greater the danger will prove if France should conquer Spaine Germany and the United Provinces and lastly says there is noe care taken of the Triple League or of the interest of England and the Protestant Religion Noe man will deney but that Charles the fifth was the greatest Monarche that ever raigned upon the face of the Earth Yett he did some years before his death surrender the Crowne of Spaine and the Seaventeene Provinces to his Sonn Philip the second and the Empire of Germany to his Brother Ferdinando that was chosen King of the Romans Charles the fifth being wearied out with the divisions and troubles amongst the Netherlanders and the German Princes concerning the Priviledges of the Empire and their respective Provinces Philip the second was also wearied out with the dissentions in the Low Countries and assigned the 17. Provinces unto Albertus and Isebella who continued in a state of warr with the Hollanders during their lives And how a French Monarch should expect any greater conquests by all his Armes I cannot apprehend or understand The Dukes of Bavaria and Brandingburgh who stands yett neutrall and other Princes of the Empire would unite their forces effectually if they did forsee the danger of what the Appealants vainely suppose The Northerne Kings and their neighbour Princes in the continent would unite and hinder such a prodigious groweth of France if the King of great Brittaigne should suffer such a progress Which is an Idle circumstance to Imagine The Interest of England is navall power and it is certainly the advantage of His Majestie and his Crownes to continue by all means possible the warr against the Hollanders untill their Fishermen be forced to goe and inhabite againe upon the Coast of England and Scotland And the rest of the Marchants and Mariners be constrained to give better caution for their good behaviour for the future Or be compelled to burne their owne Shipps of warr for a peace as the Carthagineans did 500. of their Shipps and Gallies at the end of the second Punick warr How many times France hath been almost subdued by England many Cronicles and records sufficiently testifies even when England was not soe populous nor soe prompt to Armes and when they had greater diversions from the Scotts that are since united to the Crowne and to give English men their due all the former conquests of the Hollanders were gotten by the bloud and valour of the English whose courage was not abated when the Duke of Monmouth and his Regiment made the first assaults and stormes at the taking of Mastricht It is granted that the French may be as subtill false and insolent as the Hollanders but they are universally more generous and being soe different in their humors and their habitts from the Hollanders there is noe great feare of any accord betweene them Especially since the breach is made soe wide Yett there is an opertunity for the King of great Brittaigne to putt a cheque upon the French in the Spanish Netherlands by possessing a place in the Hollanders power which at present is a Curbe both unto Flanders and Brabant and ought to be rendred to England as a precaution from the Hollanders upon this treatie at Cologne to prevent any mischeife that may happen from France Spaine Holland Ioyntly or severally hereafter All men of understanding or knowledge in History will confess that the French Kings had the Soveraignity of Flanders before the batle of Pavye and that appeales before that time were made to the Parliament at Paris Which after Francis the first renounced the Soveraignity to Charles the fifth for his ransome being taken Prisoner in that batle all appeales in Flanders are made to the Chamber at Mechelen But whether a Soveraigne Prince can by Law renounce any Soveraignity or prerogative of his Crowne without a generall consent of the Kingdome or Principallity that orriginally chose their Kings to protect and defend them who granted the Soveraignities to their Princes and their Heirs Is a question that I shall not undertake to resolve Or whether the Kingdome of Sicily that was divided by the Mediteranean sea from the Continent of Jtally could be transferred to the Crowne of France by the Donation of the Queene Which afterwards upon the perswasion

goods that his Majesties rebellious subjects had taken from the States Generall and their subjects during his Majesties Exile in the late warr In the yeare 1662. the States Generall concluded a treaty of Comon Alliance with the King of great Brittaigne wherein the States were obliged to regulate the trade of India restore Pollerone and Especially to give satisfaction for the two Shipps the Bona Esperanza and Henery Bonadventura as also to referre other losses of his Majesties Subjects unto Comissioners who were to receive a list of their dammages under severall restrictions and limitations of time and place Then the States Generall entred into a new league with France never intending to performe the treaty with England insinnuating to the French King and his Ministers that the King of great Brittaigne resented severall affronts that were done to him by the French during his Exile and that he might take occasion from thence to reclayme the two Provinces of Normandy and Brittaigne the ancient inheritance of the Crowne of England which would make him absolute Soveraigne of the seas and give laws both to France and Holland Soe they ingaged France by that new league to protect them in their Fisheries and growing more confident in that Alliance the States gave fresh occasions of dispute upon the Coast of Affrica accompting Europe Asia and America not sufficient to maintaine their pride and ambition but they would also ingross the trade of the other parte of the world to affront the Royall Company of adventurers in England holding themselves secure by the French league against all the force of arguments and Armes that could be brought against them by the King of great Brittaigne which aludes to the dictates of Monsieur W●menem and others of the great and mighly Lords the States of Holland That the States Generall had sufficiently humbled the Spaniards That the Princes bordering upon the Netherlands were rich enough to make a feast but not able to maintaine a warr That even the French of themselves were noe more then a breakfast to the States Generall England only a Dinner The Sweed and the Danes but a Colation boasting that those Kingdomes were wasted by such warrs that had inriched the States Generall A most wonderfull alteration within the memory of man in this age of wonders as the Appealants Calls it since the States of Holland and the States Generall sent their Deputies to the publick assemblies at the Hague with Roaken flesh and cheese in their Rye sacks out of netessity to save Expences in harbours That are now able to contend with soe many Kings and Princes Upon the last Alliance betweene France and the United Provinces the French King established an East-India Company Ordanning that it should be noe indignity to any of the Princes of the bloud or others of the Nobility in France to adventure and become participants in that trade The Hollanders being statled thereat fearing it might deminish their traffique they sent Monsieur John Tylliot a Captaine of horse in their Militia to make some diversion and give Discouragments to that enterprise who being wel acquainted at Paris and in the French Court insinnuated in all Companies that they would loose their principall stocks which adventured upon any such long Voyages where the Hollanders would both undermine and overeach them in all their undertakings but for his paynes the King committed him to prison where he remayned two years and upwards untill some returne Shipps came from the East-Indies to manifest the contrary It is an old dutch principall where the Hollanders cannot accomplish their designes by force they will indeavor it by any sinister means which makes the States Generall soe often pawne their soules their faith and reparation in publick treaties to game time and optunities of advantage when at the same instant they intend shall never be performed In the yeare 1665. the Hollanders haveing refused to performe the last treaty with the King of great Brittaigne and to make reparations to his subjects for their losses and Damages according to the severall and respective Articles of the sayd treaty Appeals were made by all men to the sword for Justice and a warr was proclaymed by his Majesty against the States Generall with an Unamions consent of the Lords and Commons in Parliament who granted many Millions of Pounds Sterling to carry on that enterprise which did neither humble the Hollanders nor procure any honour or satisfaction to the King or Kingdome Notwithstanding all the bloud and treasure spent In any of those poynts insisted and agreed upon in the yeare 1662. ether concerning the Bona Esperanza and Henery Bonadventure list of damages Polleron or regulation of trade in the East-Indies where the dutch have obstructed and spoyled the English and the Subjects of all other Kingdomes in Europe either by fraude or force from the Freedome of Navigation and Commerce ever since they gott any footing there More particulary Sir William Courten and his partners who layd the same foundations for trading Voyages in the East-Indies China and Japan from Port to Port. Wherein the Hollanders absoluty have gotten more by their Navigations and force in those Countries then they did by their goods and money exported from Holland and Zeland which is contrary to the Laws of Nations and comon Alliance As their owne Country-man Grotius tells them Quod Batavi ●ullum habent jus in Indos Titulo Inventionis belli occupationis praescriptionis aut consuetudinis Ergo quibusvis ad quosvis liberam esse mercaturam Whose rules the Hollanders will not observe any further then concernes their lucre or advantage as may be seene in the following relation Notwithstanding the English the Portugalls and the Spaniards traded thither and were setled there many years before the Hollanders as is well knowne to all men that have read any thing of History A True Relation of the Dutch East-India Companies Affaires and trade in India and parts adjacent in the year 1665.
