Col. Lilburns Letter to the Lord Gen. Cromwel London Printed for G. HORTON 1652. THE DECLARATION Of the States of HOLLAND Concerning the proclaiming of open Wars with the Parliament of England SIR IN my last of the 25 of March I acquainted you with the Warlike preparations of the States General since which time they are pleased to set forth a new Edict prohibiting the transportation of any English Goods whatsoever and have declared their disaffection to the proceedings of the English accasioned by their seizing upon the Flemish Vessels in retaliation whereof they have given strict charge and command that all ships goods whatsoever belonging to the English Nation be forthwith seized upon as also also the Scottish ships are detained by the Lord High-Admiral Vantrump who hath declared that according to his Commission received from the high and mighty Lords the States of Holland he is resolved to fight all those who shall dare to prefume or attempt the disturbance of the peace and welfare of the freeborn People of the United Provinces c. As for other matter of intelligence I shall refer you to the inclosed wherein is comprised several remarkable passages of great concernment which I conceived requisite to present to publike view viz. The Hollander hath set forth a Declaration to raise 60000 Horse and Foot and 300 Sayl of ships but their design is variously spoken of Yet great are the Contests between the Burgomasters and the Bores for the latter doth threaten to sequester their Estates and bring them to a Tryall for their lives if they will not take a course to defend and assist them at Sea And some Tumults and Risings have already been in Zealand Rotterdam Dort Delf and at the Hague where many were both slain and wounded and amongst the rest some English which the Mutiniers chiefly aymed at who brand them with the most infamous Badge of Traytors and Conspirators to their Religion and Liberties c. The Duke of Malta hath declared that he will give his Royal Assent to the Union and that he will raise forty thousand Horse and Foot to joyn with the Christians against the Turks and in pursuance thereof hath granted a Commission to Prince Frederick Landgrave of Hesse to command in chief under his Highness Prince Philips It is reported that Lieu. Col. Lilburn is made Captain of a Man of War for the States of Holland and that he hath received Power and Instructions to fire sink or take any ships whatsoever that shall be declared Enemies to the United Provinces SIR THere hath been a great and imperial Councel held at Munster in Germany by the Ambassadors of 13 Christian Kings Princes and Dukes At which Diet they took into consideration the present state and condition of many exiled Princes and amongst the rest a Conference arose touching the King of Scots but nothing done therein at present by reason of other weighty and emergent businesses which call them to a Work of far greater concernment and may also prove fatal if not timely prevented For the Great Turk and his Bashaw have taken the field with seven hundred thousand Horse and Foot and are resolved if possible to make a great devastation and inroad upon Christendom this Summer But great is the care of the Emperour of Germany the 7 Christian Princes of Italy the Queen of Sweden the Prince of Transilvania and Prince Frederick of Malta to raise a formidable Power and to unite and joyn with the Venetians both in an offensive and defensive War against the Turks And in pursuance thereof a League is concluding between the aforesaid Princes who have had a large consultation thereupon But that which is thought most requisite and feasible at present is the sending of a Summons to all Christendom for Warlike Provisions to be made against the Enemies thereof And indeed great reason have they so to do for never was a more potent and irresistable Army raised these many years as now the Turks and Janisaries have raised Yet notwithstanding Prince Philip the third Son to the Queen of Bohemia and General to the Stases of Venice hath given them a great Overthrow neer the Isle of Candia and kill'd taken and routed about threescore thousand men This Overthrow doth exceedingly retard the Enemies Design and as it is a great prejudice to them so it is a great advantage to Christendom And his Highnesse Prince Philip hath embraced this opportunity who by the assistance of the Divine Power hath obtained another great Victory against the Janisaries Since which Atchievements he is called Philip the Great a Gentleman of a gallant temper and endow'd with excellent Properties and Vertues both for prudence wisdom and magnanimity of Spirit He is even become as great a Terrour to the Turks as Alexander the Great was to the Christians The King of Scots hath sent the Lord Wilmot with a Message to the Princes of Italy imploring Supplies and Accommodation suitable to his present Necessities and Condition but they have returned Answer That by reason of the home-bred divisions they cannot assist him but promise fair when a feasible opportunity shall serve which I conjecture may come to pass about Latter-Lammass By reason that we have received some inclination that the States of Holland have declared for a Union with the Parliament of England and have Ordered that those ships and goods formerly seized on belonging to the English be forthwith discharged and set at liberty Lieut. Col. Lilburn is very active in stirring up the well-affected English And some relate that he hath sent a Letter to the Lord General puting his Exceliency in mind of his Protestation at Huntington wherein he desires him to stand up against Oppression to propogate the Gospel to preserve the liberty of the People and to maintain their just rights and priviledges FINIS
