a_o copy_n of_o a_o letter_n send_v by_o the_o burga-master_n and_o council_n of_o amsterdam_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o city_n be_v that_o have_v their_o session_n in_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o

great_a amazement_n how_o that_o the_o same_o day_n by_o order_n only_o of_o the_o pentionary_n of_o holland_n without_o the_o usual_a put_n it_o to_o the_o question_n that_o the_o door_n of_o the_o say_a assembly_n be_v command_v to_o be_v shut_v as_o also_o the_o antichamber_n belong_v to_o the_o states-provincial_a with_o a_o injunction_n that_o no_o man_n may_v be_v suffer_v to_o go_v out_o and_o that_o at_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n two_o of_o our_o deputy_n the_o heer_n gerrard_n hoof_n one_o of_o the_o council_n of_o this_o city_n and_o the_o high_a hop_v our_o

other_o after_o which_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n lay_v before_o the_o states-provincial_a that_o the_o marquis_n de_fw-fr grana_n have_v intercept_v several_a letter_n from_o the_o french_a ambassador_n at_o the_o hague_n to_o the_o king_n his_o master_n bearing_z date_n the_o 9th_o of_o january_n last_o which_o he_o have_v send_v to_o he_o contain_v as_o it_o be_v say_v a_o circumstantial_a relation_n of_o some_o private_a correspondency_n betwixt_o the_o say_a ambassador_n and_o we_o of_o which_o the_o say_a prince_n of_o orange_n think_v himself_o oblige_v to_o give_v they_o the_o say_v state_n a_o account_n thereof_o and_o that_o according_o the_o say_v letter_n be_v read_v in_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o state_n by_o the_o say_a pentionary_n of_o holland_n and_o that_o the_o say_a prince_n of_o orange_n do_v suppose_v that_o the_o two_o beforenamed_n our_o deputy_n be_v much_o concern_v in_o this_o correspondency_n and_o do_v not_o know_v whether_o they_o have_v order_n so_o to_o do_v or_o not_o this_o matter_n be_v under_o debate_n our_o two_o deputy_n which_o before_o have_v quit_v their_o place_n come_v in_o and_o take_v possession_n thereof_o again_o and_o endeavour_n be_v use_v to_o cause_v they_o to_o depart_v into_o the_o ante-chamber_n again_o but_o our_o aforesaid_a deputy_n do_v not_o look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o oblige_v to_o do_v what_o they_o require_v especial_o for_o that_o they_o have_v do_v nothing_o but_o by_o virtue_n of_o order_n however_o the_o states-provincial_a thought_n good_a that_o copy_n of_o the_o say_a letter_n shall_v be_v send_v to_o the_o knight_n gentleman_n burghermasters_n and_o common-councel_n of_o the_o respective_a city_n to_o have_v their_o advice_n what_o be_v most_o convenient_a to_o be_v do_v concern_v this_o affair_n which_o fill_v we_o with_o no_o small_a amazement_n that_o a_o beginning_n shall_v be_v make_v of_o a_o criminal_a process_n against_o so_o just_a and_o upright_a member_n of_o the_o state_n notwithstanding_o their_o earnest_a opposition_n and_o they_o proffer_v to_o purge_v themselves_o against_o all_o that_o can_v be_v lay_v to_o their_o charge_n draw_v from_o the_o aforesaid_a letter_n by_o erroneous_a construction_n notwithstanding_o all_o which_o our_o paper_n and_o those_o of_o our_o pentionary_n be_v seal_v up_o by_o two_o of_o the_o member_n of_o the_o state_n as_o also_o by_o the_o secretary_n beaumont_n and_o lay_v aside_o till_o after_o a_o communication_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a letter_n to_o their_o principle_n it_o shall_v be_v conclude_v whether_o the_o say_a paper_n shall_v be_v examine_v or_o no._n when_o we_o begin_v to_o reflect_v on_o the_o one_o side_n that_o the_o charge_n of_o a_o unlawful_a correspondency_n betwixt_o the_o french-ambassador_n and_o we_o come_v simple_o and_o only_o to_o appear_v out_o of_o the_o aforesaid_a intercept_a letter_n to_o the_o king_n his_o master_n and_o so_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o foreign_a minister_n and_o only_o as_o it_o agree_v with_o his_o apprehension_n and_o construction_n the_o letter_n be_v in_o cipher_n which_o we_o know_v not_o whether_o they_o be_v true_o uncypher_v and_o have_v their_o true_a sense_n or_o no_o and_o reflect_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o this_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o these_o severe_a proceed_n as_o first_o in_o the_o lock_v of_o the_o door_n of_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o state_n provincial_a in_o a_o unusual_a manner_n and_o that_o by_o the_o order_n only_o of_o the_o pentionary_n of_o holland_n and_o then_o in_o their_o severe_a handle_n of_o our_o aforesaid_a two_o deputy_n who_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o mention_v in_o the_o letter_n intercept_v by_o the_o marquis_n de_fw-fr grana_n and_o who_o not_o only_o immediate_o proffer_v to_o move_v as_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o have_v speak_v with_o the_o say_a french_a ambassador_n but_o by_o our_o order_n but_o also_o to_o disprove_v what_o be_v most_o abusive_o lay_v to_o their_o charge_n by_o the_o pentionary_n of_o holland_n as_o that_o they_o the_o same_o day_n that_o the_o say_v letter_n be_v send_v away_o for_o france_n by_o the_o french_a ambassador_n have_v not_o be_v at_o his_o house_n make_v it_o plain_o appear_v the_o one_o that_o he_o be_v indispose_v and_o the_o other_o that_o that_o day_n he_o have_v not_o be_v out_o of_o his_o lodging_n at_o the_o hague_n we_o do_v exceed_o wonder_v that_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o it_o shall_v be_v think_v good_a to_o seal_v up_o our_o paper_n and_o to_o proceed_v with_o such_o extravagancy_n precipitate_v such_o report_n both_o within_o and_o without_o this_o country_n as_o tend_v to_o the_o diminish_n and_o dishonour_v of_o this_o city_n against_o the_o illiterated_a solicitation_n of_o our_o deputy_n that_o the_o say_a letter_n may_v be_v read_v again_o in_o their_o hear_n they_o be_v in_o the_o antichamber_n while_o they_o be_v read_v before_o the_o state_n provintial_a promise_v to_o make_v a_o categoric_a answer_n to_o the_o same_o which_o then_o without_o question_n they_o will_v have_v forbear_v seal_v up_o our_o paper_n and_o their_o innocency_n appear_v they_o will_v have_v desist_v from_o those_o so_o strange_a proceed_n or_o at_o least_o will_v have_v show_v so_o much_o wisdom_n and_o discretion_n as_o not_o to_o have_v send_v away_o a_o charge_n to_o all_o the_o counsel_n and_o city_n until_o they_o have_v hear_v what_o can_v be_v say_v in_o our_o defence_n we_o desire_v also_o your_o honour_n to_o consider_v how_o much_o we_o be_v concern_v for_o the_o security_n of_o our_o deputy_n in_o respect_n to_o their_o person_n as_o also_o of_o their_o paper_n according_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o this_o country_n and_o the_o resolution_n relate_v to_o that_o affair_n for_o which_o reason_n we_o can_v forbear_v but_o be_v high_o concern_v and_o be_v hearty_o sorry_a and_o the_o more_o when_o we_o consider_v that_o those_o proceed_n against_o such_o upright_a and_o faithful_a member_n of_o the_o state_n be_v not_o only_o against_o all_o form_n of_o justice_n and_o prudence_n but_o also_o against_o the_o honour_n freedom_n and_o security_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o member_n compose_v that_o assembly_n and_o then_o consider_v what_o ill_a consequence_n may_v be_v the_o effect_n that_o the_o aforesaid_a charge_n be_v only_o draw_v out_o of_o intercept_a letter_n from_o the_o ambassador_n of_o france_n to_o the_o king_n his_o master_n and_o we_o can_v apprehend_v but_o with_o great_a
