I will serve your Maiestie in your Customes and ask never a penny salary Provided I may have my Lord Treasurers Warrant to seize all Gold and Silver exported without your Maiesties licence and to seize all Goods and Merchandise exported and Imported before the Customes be paid and that strict Rules and Orders be observed for the future preventing of frauds by Order of Parliament to force all I will put in good Securitie to account iustly to your Maiestie for one half of the seisures which I and my Deputies shall seize Your Maiestie is at fiftie thousand pounds a Year salarie for Officers to see the Custome paid and yet your Maiestie is daily by their ignorance or breach of Trust deceived above one hundred thousand pounds a year And thus I have humbly undertaken to the Right Honourable the Lord Treasurer to serve Your Maiestie without a Fee and prevent in great part these abuses and make the Merchants weary of the trade of stealing Custome And yet my Warrant hangs in suspence being referred and referred again In the mean time I am deferred and your Maiestie daily cozened in your Customs one hundred thousand pounds a year and above If I get one pennie Fee from your Maiestie your Maiestie shall save it upon the peril of my life a hundred fold as much I can prove your Royal Fathers commands to me at Hampton Court to make your Majesty truly acquainted how his Majesty was cosened in his Customs from 1626. to 1639. many hundred thousand pound which his Royal Maiesty found to be too true when it was too late and commanded me upon my allegiance I should acquaint your Maiesty with the particular wayes how and by whom he was deceived in the Customs and that upon the penalty of my allegiance and life as I would answer to God and your Maiesty I should truly present these abuses to your Maiesty this was two dayes before your Royall Father went to the Islo of Wight in the presence of Mr. Hugh Hen and Mr. Brogden Mr. Brogden is living and brought up to Sir Lewis Dives your Fathers Royal Letter to command Sir Lewis Dives to signifie to your Maiesty how highly your Royal Father did apprehend he had been deceived in his Customs from 1626. to 1639. and your Maiesties Royal Father desired your Maiesty to look carefully after your Customs I humbly refer my self to the Honorable Gentleman Sir Lewis Dives report to your Maiesty touching this business May it please your Majestie I ventured my life to bring up your Majesties Royal Fathers Letter to the Citie of London from Oxford 1643. to the Lord Major and Common Councel of London there being the same moneth one of your Majesties Fathers messengers murthered at London for bringing from Oxford your Majesties Royal Fathers Preclamations I ventured my life when I was a Prisoner in the Tower to make my escape to your Majesties Royal Father and to return back a Prisoner to the Tower upon his especial command to bring his Majesty these Papers concerning the Custome business as Sir Lewis Dives can witness And now may it please your Majestie for obeying your Royal Fathers command to me upon my Allegiance and Life that without favour mincing or flatterie I should tell your Majestie the truth how your Royal Father was abused in his Customes as Sir Lewis Dives and Mr Brogden knows the blessed Kings command to me that I should do it it being his Majesties last words he spake to me I have in this also humbly obeyed and put my self in great jeopardie that so I might discharge my faithful promise and perform your Royal Fathers commands I know what a many powerful enemies I have raised by speaking and printing this truth concerning the Customs if I have not your Majesties protection I humblie hope the profit and safetie coming to your Majestie by this Information together with Your Royall Fathers desire to you in this business shall protect me whose great and bitter afflictions had made him as wise as King Solomon When he told me before Mr. Brogden and at the same time he wrote up to Sir Lewis Dives to tell him he was afraid this information of the ill managing of his Majesties Customes did come too late for him but it would be most seasonable to Your Majesty charging Sir Lewis Dives to present me to Your Majestie to make this out to be a certain truth and withall his Majestie telling me I will write to Sir Lewis Dives to present your faithful services and sufferings to the Prince and serve him faithfully as you have done me and do not doubt but God will put it into his heart to remember and reward you for my sake to do that for you I would and should have done but alas I cannot help my self in this condition as I am Sir Lew is Dives will be beleeved in what he shall testifie for you to the Prince this testimony from Sir Lewis Dives to Your Majestie I humbly hope will make Your Majestie to protectime from the malice and envie of some men When Sir Lewis Dives made Your Majesty acquainted in May last 1660 with this business Your Majestie was graciously pleased to declare your Royal pleasure and to promise that if I did prove what I said That Your Majesties Royal Father was deceived in his Customes from 1626 to 1639 as I set forth in my Writing And that Your Majestie was defrauded by several undue practises this last Year 1660 in Your Customes above two thousand pounds a week or an hundred thousand pounds a year and if I did shew ways to prevent the same and could advance your Custom one hundred thousand pounds more then the Custome made 1660. Upon Your Majesties Royal Word Your Majestie would see me paid to the value of twentie thousand pounds or imploy me a Commissioner in the Customes and Mint with a Fee to that value and charged Sir Lewis Dives I should do it as soon as I could and Your Majestie upon your Kingly Word would keep your promise This Narrative will clearly prove to Your Majestie I have in every thing performed my undertaking First I have proved Your Royal Father defrauded for thirteen Years about eightie thousand pounds a year and which way the Monie was spent Secondly I have proved your Majestie defrauded Anno 1660. in the Customes one hundred thousand pounds a year and set down the ways to prevent it And if your Majestie make me a Commissioner and give me Power upon my Life I will make your Custome sixscore thousand pounds a year more then they made 1660. My Trust is next to God wholly in your Majestie That you will consider my fidelitie losses suffering● imprisonments and to reward me according to your Royal Fathers request to your Majestie touching me And if I be required by your Maiestie the Parliament or your Maiesties Privie Councel I shall print the substance of the particular Narrative which I delivered to his Maiestie 1647. at Hampton Court concerning the managing the Customs from 1626. to 1639. and his Maiesties charge to me and Sir Lewis Dives fully to acquaint you with the same the mischeifs that befel your Majesties Royal Father in his affairs by those miscarriages or deliver it to your Maiesties Privie Councel in Writing if I be required to do it For your Maiesties service I shall wait on Mr. Secretary Nicholas to receive your Maiesties commands whether I shall print the aforesaid Narrative or deliver it to your Maiesties Privy Council in Writing to the end these abuses in the Custome-House may be prevented for the future as your Maiestie please to command me that I will perform and ever rest Your Maiesties most dutiful and obedient Subiect as long as I live Jan. 25. 1661 2 THO.
