But suppose Captain Spragg had done amiss yet he was a Subject to the King of Great Britain France and Ireland and the taking his Ship was in the Channell and in the moneth of July 1660. which was about two moneths after the return of His most Sacred Majesty to his Kingdoms and when he was in the full and peaceable possession of them and was this a justifiable way to begin by execution What injuries and violences have been done to His Majesties Subjects in the East-Indies by the Dutch East-India Company Now many Piratries have of late been committed by private men of War and others of this Country upon them and hath His Majesty begun by execution hath He granted an order to seize the Fleet of this Country coming from the East-Indies or hath he declared all such Capers as fail from hence troublers of the freedome of trade and commerce by Sea and given order to all his men of war every where to take them as your Lordships say they had done to those that failed out of Biscay which yet he hath the same reason to do they pirating continually upon His Subjects and perchance there wants not complaints of the same nature from other Christian Kings and Princes also against them or would ye take it kindly if Spragg being at this time in His Majesties service in the Streights should endevour to revenge himself upon Doedesson Star who is also at this time imployed in that Sea And yet if this course be justifiable in their Lordships it is without doubt as justifiable in the King his Master and if he should take this course they would easily apprehend what would be the consequences thereof nor it may be would there have needed so long and tedious a solicitation in this case But His Majesty is pleased in the first place according to the Laws of friendship and good neighbourhood to apply to their Lordships and if justice and satisfaction can be had in a friendly way it is that he most passionately desires but if not the said Envoy Extraordinary must again repeat that he will then be justified before the whole World in betaking himself to such further remedies as may be capable to procure releif to the said Spragg his most loyall and faithfull Subject whom he cannot nor will not suffer to go without reall satisfaction nor doth he love to have his Subjects acccused of impudence when they only humbly addresse themselves to him for help and their complaints are by him in a friendly way transmitted hither And the said Envoy Extraordinary doth once more demand that satisfaction and reparation be forthwith made for the said Ship Charles and so that after the many proofes of His Majesties zeal for the relief of the people of this Country against Piratries of this nature he may at last have one instance of theirs towards his nor can it now be doubted seeing what was done in this matter was not only done by their Lordships own men of war but as they are now pleased to avow in their answer in persuance of their order It was too much that Ships of war sailing with His Majesties commission were from time to time taken by the Ships of war of this Country during the late disorders but that any such thing should be attempted or done and that in His Seas since His return into His Kingdomes His Majesty can in no ways disgest or passe by without ample and full satisfaction Given at the Hague this 13 of July 1662. G. DOVVNING Advertisement IN regard I was intreated by some of the Persons Interessed 1 in the Ships Charles Experience and St. John Baptist to press the States General and their Deputies for satisfaction and reparation for the dammages suffered in those 1 cases I thought it convenient in vindication of the English concerned therein to make mention of the proceedings aforesaid and the rather because of the aspersion most wrongfully cast upon them and my self in the Low Countryes which were taken for granted by the Common People being published in Print both in French and Dutch by the States or their order before any Replies were given to the same And the Ten select Articles of Cromwell's Treaty with the other things following are to be considered in some Arguments raised upon Debates hereafter expressed which I took notice of in several Conferences between me and divers persons at Amsterdam G.
