Alsop 1648. A LETTER From Sandwich in KENT SIR FOr the prevention of false informations I shall communicate to you the most certain intelligence we have in these parts On Fryday last Vice-admirall Rainsborough came ashore at his owne Castle at Deale the occasion was because some of the Kentish men had endeavoured to get the possession of the Earl of Warwicks Castle of Sandon the castle of Warbrough and this Castle which are all three within a mile and a half one of the other And when the Vice Admirall had done his endeavour to secure them he went in a small Pinace to his command again at Sea and when he came to the ship which was under his immediate command those which were in her forbad him to come aboard saying they would obey him no longer but would have the King brought to London c and told him if he came aboard it was at his perill but if he pleased he might depart in the Vessel hee was in and after many threats and other uncivil carriages towards him he came for London when hee was gone they hung forth a flag which signified that there should be a Councel held and the respective Captaines in all other ships were to appear aboard on the Vice admiral and divers of them met accordingly but Captain Penrose came not Whereupon they sent him three or four Canon shot and afterwards sent a message to him commanding him in the name of the Vice admirall to come to the Councell whereupon he returned answer that he knew the Vice-admirall was not there and therefore conceived they had not power to call a Councell or command him to come thither and therefore hee was resolved not to go This Message was carryed back and upon the receit thereof about 40. men went with their swords drawne and other weapons of war came to him in another ship and told him that they were sent by the Admirall to fet him Captain Penrose asked who was that Vice admirall they replyed that his name was Lenoall then captain Penrose said he knew such a man to bee a Bostons Mate but no otherwise and was resolved not to go with them then said they we must force you the captain now addressed his speech to his owne men in the ship saying Gentlemen will you stick to me and we will defend our selves and not obey this illegall command but contrary to his expectation hee found a division amongst his own men and many of them cryed out Go go this being so captaine Penrose for the better prevention of further mischief went along with them and when he came aboard the Vice admiral he was d●●i●ed to sign a Petition which he refused to do and finding him whom they for the present h●d chosen to be Vice Admirall to be this inferiour man which was but a Bostons mate Capt. Penrose said I will not joine with you in this Petition no● approve of your course in refusing to be commanded by the Vice-Admirall which was put in by the Parliament And I pray do you quite cast off all subjection to them to which they generally replyed no they were for King and Parliament then said he it were fit that you should mrke choice of some honourable person that is true to both for this is a place not fit for any other c. hee had no sooner spoken this but one of them named the Earl of Warwick and all the rest cryed out presently a Warwick a Warwick then they agreed to send a Letter to his Lordship another to the Speaker of the house setting forth their proceedings and that if the E. of Warwick came to them they would live and dy with him in defence of the cause for King and Parliament according to the first principles and they made choice of capt Penrose to bring these Letters before his coming away he told them that it might be when he was gone they would make choice of some other and to give satisfaction to the contrary they all took an oath not to receed from this choice untill the E. of Warwickcame to them c. On Fryday last the Kentish men took the Fort neer Dover Castle whereof capt Bethel a very deserving Gentleman had the command they shot many pieces against the Castle but finding no probability of doing any good against it they gave it over which is all at present from Sandwich 28 May 1648.
