to both the Crownes if no other worse thing arise This Speech or rather Complaint of the Embassadors ended the King withdrew him unto the window in his presence-chamber at Christ Church there spake certaine words in private and after before certain Lords there about him told him that unto his message or complaint some time to morrow he would by his Secretary or some other send him an answer whereat the Embassador tooke leave of the King and repaired unto his lodging in New-Colledge new-New-years Day being Sunday Ianuarie 1. about foure of the clock in the After-noone the Lord Mowbray and the Lord Faulkland brought from the King unto the Embassadour this Answer following My Lord The King Our Master hath commanded Vs to returne this Answer as touching your heavie complaint unto Him yesterday THat His Majesty hath with deep discontent resented the particulars of your Lordships Message or Complaint Yet neither himselfe nor any Ministers Agents or Servants of His by Sea or Land are in any wise as from Him to be blamed of any breach of amitie much lesse of this being in so high a nature as his Lordship had lately related it That Captain Bennet Strafford was never employed by Him in any of His Ships or Pinnaces and therefore when time should serve should not onely answer for what hee did in His Majesties Ships but by whose authoritie hee came there That His Majesty further desired that what at this time above all other might be done against the League either by Sea or Land might not be imputed unto Him his Majestie through the distempers of some of his Subjects having as little command over his ships as he had over his Towns and Castles That He would issue forth a Proclamation with all convenient speed to prevent the further embezelling of the Merchandizes of the Ship and likewise for the restoring what should be found in the hands of any of His Subjects or Officers and therein would give especiall command unto the Iudge of His Admiraltie But would be sorrie the King of Spaine should make all his Subjects trading under him to suffer for the villanous act of one person authorized by he knew not whom C R HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE By the King A Proclamation prohibiting the buying or disposing of any the lading of the Ship called the Sancta Clara lately brought into SOUTHAMPTON COmplaint having been made unto His Majesty by Don Alonco de Cardenas Ambassador from the King of Spain that a Ship called the Sancta Clara belonging to the said King and his Subjects hath beene lately treacherously brought to Southampton by one Captaine Bennet Strafford and others from Sancto Domingo the said Ship being laden with Silver Cocheneal and other Wares and Merchandizes to a very great value And that the said Ship and Goods being by the said Ambassadour arrested and the said Bennet Strafford apprehended whilest a suit for the said Ship and Goods is depending in the Court of Admiralty the Silver part of the lading of the said Ship to a very great value hath been disposed of contrary to Law without any other security given for the same then the empty name of Publicke Faith which without His Majesty cannot as is well knowne to all the world be engaged or if engaged without His Majesty is not valid or to be relyed on for satisfaction And it is further complained by the said Ambassadour that the Cocheneale and other Merchandizes formerly sequestred at London and Southampton albeit they are not perishable but have rather encreased in their price and value are likely to be sold against the will of those who pretend to be the Owners Parties to the suite depending in the said Court of Admiralty which is alledged to be apparently against the Rules of Law and practices of that Court in such cases His Majesty well weighing what may be the ill consequences of such injurious Proceedings manifestly contrary to the Law and the Articles of Treatie between the two Crownes and plainly fore-seeing how heavily it may light upon such of His good Subjects who have estates in Spaine and how destructive it may prove to the Trade and Commerce of His Subjects and Kingdomes doth hereby not onely expresly charge and command the Judge of His Admiraltie and all others whom it may concerne to proceed in a businesse of such value and consequence with Care Expedition and according to Justice But doth also expresly prohibite all persons of what condition soever upon pretence of any Order or Warrant from one or both Houses of Parliament or any authoritie derived from thence to buy meddle with or dispose of any part of the said Cocheneale or other Goods or Merchandizes belonging to the said Ship untill the propriety thereof shall be judicially decided and determined upon paine of His Majesties high displeasure and of being responsible and liable to payment and satisfaction for whatsoever damage shall happen to any of His Majesties good Subjects whose Goods or Estates shall for that cause be embargued or seized in Spaine Given at the Court at Oxford the second day of Januarie in the eighteenth yeere of His Majesties Reigne God save the King FINIS
