CALENDARS.
Instructions to Editors.
The Master of the Rolls desires to call the attention of the Editors of
Calendars to the following considerations, with a view to secure uniformity
of plan in the important works on which they are engaged : —
He is anxious to extend, as far as is consistent with proper economy and
despatch, the utility of tKe Calendars of State Papers now publishing under
his control : 1st. As the most efficient means of making the national archives
accessible to all who are interested in historical inquiries ; 2nd. As the best
justification of the liberality and munificence of the Government in throwing
open these papers to the public, and providing proper catalogues of their
contents at the national expense.
The greater number of the readers who will consult and value these works
can have little or no opportunity of visiting the Public Record Office^ in
which these papers are deposited. The means for consulting the originals
must necessarily be limited when readers live at a distance from the metro-
polis ; stiU more if they are residents of Scotland, Ireland, distant colonies-,
or foreign states. Even when such an opportunity does exist, the difficulty
of mastering the original hands in which these papers are written will deter
many readers from consulting them. Above all, their great variety and
number must present formidable obstacles to literary inquirers, however
able, sanguine, and energetic, when the information contained in them is
not made accessible by satisfactory Calendars.
The Master of the Rolls considers that, without superseding the necessity
of consulting the originals, every Editor ought to frame his Calendar in such
a manner that it shall present, in as condensed a form as possible, a correct
index of the contents of the papers described in it. He considers that the
entries should be' so minute as to enable the reader to discover not only the
general contents of the originals, but also what they do not contain. If
the information be not sufficiently precise, if facts and names be omitted or
concealed under a vague and general description, the reader will be often
misled, he will assume that where the abstracts are silent as to information
to be found in the documents, such information does not exist ; or, he will
have to examine every original in detail, and thus one great purpose will
have been lost for which these Calendars have been compiled.
RS.58. Wt. 1971.5. a
As the documents are various, the Master of the Rolls considers that they
will demand a corresponding mode of treatment. The following rules are
to be observed : —
1st. AU formal and official documents, such as letters of credence, war-
rants, grants, and the like, should be described as briefly as possible.
2nd. Letters and documents referring to one subject only should be cata-
logued as briefly as is consistent with correctness. But when they contain
miscellaneous news, such a description should be given as will enable a
reader to form an adequate notion of the variety of their contents.
3rd. Wherever a letter or paper is especially difficult to decipher, or the
allusions more than ordinarily obscure, it will be advisable for the Editor to
adhere, as closely as is consistent with brevity, to the text of the document.
He is to do the same when it contains secret or very rare information.
4th. Where the Editor has deciphered letters in cipher, the decipher may
be printed at full length. But when a contempor^y or authorised decipher
exists it will be sufficient to treat the cipher as an ordinary document.
5th. Striking peculiarities of expression, proverbs, manners, &c. are to be
noticed.
6th. Original dates are to be given at the close of each entry, that the
reader may know the exact evidence by which the marginal dates are
determined.
7th. Where letters are endorsed by the receivers and the date of their
delivery specified, these endorsements are to be recorded.
8th. The number of written pages of each document is to be specified, as
a security for its integrity, and that readers may know what proportion the
abstract bears to the original.
9th. The language of every document is to be specified. If, however, the
greater part of the collection be in English, it will be sufficient to denote
those only which are in a difierent tongue.
10th. Where documents have been printed, a reference should be given to
the publication.
11th. Each series is to be chronological.
12th. The Prefaces of Editors, in explanation of documents in the volume,
are not to exceed fifty pages, unless the written permission of the Master of
the Rolls to the contrary be obtained.
• »
*
Editors employed in foreign archives are to transcribe at full length
important and secret papers.

PREFACE.
One series of letters in the present volume demands
a special notice. It is the correspondence of Thos.
Ross or Rowe, consisting chiefly of letters addressed by
Mm to Sec. Nicholas. The earlier letters make an allusion
to a cypher to be arranged between the two (pp. 69, 79).
The following letters use this cypher more or less, and
not only are many words in cypher, but the general tone
of the letters is a disguise, and they are made to resemble
as nearly as possible letters on business matters. The
names of political persons and parties are veiled under
names of gentlemen, and the important persons generally
have three or more pseudonyms, thus : —
Charles II. is Cannon, Creeke, Mrs. Brogden, Hall, ©r
Valentine.
Cromwell, — Dobson, Jackson, Norton, or Pope.
Adm. Blake, — Gourden.
Council of State, — Mrs. Moody.
Levellers, — silkmen or farmers.
The army, — Mrs. Mattersey.
Arms, — lutestrings.
Poot, — dowlas.
Horses, — stuffs, boxes of marmalade, or pairs of shoes.
The fleet, — Sugden.
London, — Layton.
Gloucester, — Westminster.
Chepstow Castle, — Uxbridge.
Defensive arms, — pots of Jesmin.
vm PREFACE.
A declaration,— a lease of ejection.
Hundreds of pounds, — grains of musk.
Letters, — stockings .
To levy men, — to fell timber.
Men, — ^pounds or tuns of wine.
A port, — a deed of gift.
A pound, — men or pigs of lead.
Presbyterians, — clotbiers or dyers.
Royalists, — registers or retailers.
On account of this form of cypher, some of the letters,
when decyphered, hardly read intelligibly (pp. 166, 196,
237, 244, 263, 339, 372, 394). We require to keep in mind
continually that the commercial phraseology is but a yeil
for political intelligence. This remark applies still more
to the letters addressed to B,oss by his correspondents in
England ; these were more carefully worded as being more
liable to interception than his own, which are usually dated
from Paris.
In some cases these letters have been whoUy or partially
decyphered by Nicholas, in others not at all ; but a key to
the cypher fortunately exists in the collection of cypher
keys in the Public Record Office, vol. vi. p. 42. It is not
entirely complete, but the blanks are supplied by Nicholas'
decyphers, and by the remarks upon the cypher in the
letters themselves.
Another set of cypher letters is the correspondence
between Sec. Nicholas and his son-in-law, Jos. Jane, at
the Hague. This is a case of ordinary figure cypher. No
key to it is known, to exist, but the letters have been for
the most part decyphered by means of a key formed from
the interlineations of Jane in some of the letters. Occa-
sionally a name occurs which has not been interlined in
any letter, and therefore has to be left to conjecture. The
plan of the cypher being quite regular, it is always possible
PREFACE. IX
to know wliat the initial of the missing word is likely to
be (p. 159).
It is from these and other letters addressed to Sec.
Nicholas that most of our information relative to the
Royalists is gathered, as well as much relative to the
foreign and domestic proceedings of Cromwell.
The Protector's home policy was gradually becoming
more and more stringent. His chief counsellors were
St. John, Thurloe, who had formerly been St. John's
secretary ; Lawrence, president of the Council ; and
Piennes, who was brought in by him (p. 80). An ordi-
nance lately passed prohibiting ejected ministers from
acting as chaplains or schoolmasters in families, or from
preaching anywhere, was felt as a peculiar hardship (p. 28).
Cromwell was keenly alive to his own unpopularity,
and took precautions accordingly. He had a system of
intelligence both at home and abroad so perfect that the
E-oyalists were in consternation, time after time, to find
that their most secret designs were known. To counter-
act the plots continually hatching against his life, he
increased his life guard. That appointed for him in
Pebruary 1656 was at a total cost of 14,089^. a-year, being
well nigh double the previous charge (pp. 18, 192), and
the pay assigned alike to officers and soldiers was enor-
mous, considering that money was about 4^ times its
present value. The captain had 28*. a- day, other oflicers
in proportion, and each of the 160 soldiers 4s. a-day
(p. 203). To meet this charge, withoM increasing the
cost of the army establishment, the troops in the horse
regiments were reduced from 50 to 48 (pp. 249, 326).
The soldiers of the guard were exempt from ordinary
jurisdiction. A bailifE who had arrested one of them
was himself taken into custody by order of Council
(pp. 317j 33'7, 582), and a citizen of London who arrested
X PliEFACE.
another, was required to give an account of his conduct
to Strickland, who was captain of the guard (p. 370).
A Royalist oflS.cer, writing on January 10, 1656, says : —
" I hear from England that, while others enjoyed their Christmas
with mirth and freedom, Cromwell doubled his guards of horse and
foot, on either real or pretended fears of the Anabaptists, who have
been active and bold in feeling the pulse of several officers of the
army. Some say, (but it is thought a fable), that they have lately
tampered with his barber to make short work with him, but they
certainly hope to destroy him by prayer, which (as they say) was
the way they raised him. Simpson, with one or two other fierce
Levites and a cornet of Harrison's regiment, are made prisoners on
this account.
" Ludlow, after his close imprisonment at Beaumaris, was brought
before Council on the charge of not acknowledging the present
power ; he refuses to give bond to be faithful to it, yet he is set at
liberty, and has leave to go about the country, to ensnare him (as
is believed). When Cromwell, lest he should disturb him during
his absence in Scotland, made him Lieutenant-General of the Irish
horse, a friend called to congratulate him, when his reply was that
' he must needs go whom the devil drives ;' so you see the jealousy
between them.
" The poor orthodox clergy have passed a Sunday in silence ; the
old Bishop of Armagh has been with Cromwell, but to little pur-
pose, though he had some court holy-water, a dinner, and a
confirmation of church leases in Ireland " (p. 109).
The majority of the army oificers however still remained
faithful to the Protector, and held a meeting at Whitehall,
at which the idea of an hereditary Protectorate was
broached and met with approval. This and other points
of legislation weiie discussed and virtually settled, and then
it was proposed to call a Parliament for the sake of formal
approval of what was already done (p. 209). Such was
Parliamentary rule under the so-called Commonwealth !
The King's party in England suffered severely under
the decimation tax, and " panic fear " " entered the most
generous breasts." The oath to be imposed would destroy
PREFACE. xi
them, it was said, like a massacre. The authorities were
very severe in exacting the tenths, "and every gentleman
must give in the number of his servants and security
for their deportment, so that all show of liberty is lost.
I pray," adds the writer, " that the sense and memory of
it be not lost too, if they be long used to the burden "
(p. 69).
Another Royahst writer says : " I hope our friends in
England, being now under the lash, are so sensible of
the smart that they will do their duty" (p. 79). On
the other hand, one of the instruments of these decima-
tion proceedings, Col. Rowland Dawkins, writing to the
Protector from Swansea, says : " The effects of our work
are very observable ; our enemies are much terrified, our
friends encouraged, peace secured, and wickedness sup-
pressed. Though the dealing is severe, the people of this
country think it necessary ; just indulgence has but
hardened them in their malignity, and but for our proi
ceedings, the good interest had been overtopped by the
royal and worldly" (p. 265).
About the same time Sec. Nicholas writes : —
" We hear of 3 more gentlemen imprisoned in England, on some
intelligence from the miscreant Manning. Cromwell iinds opposition
in the counties in settling taxes for raising money to maintain
forces, for the peace of the country, as he pretends. Sir John
Mounson, at a late meeting in Lincoln thereon, told Whalley,
major-general of that shire, that he had compounded formerly at a
dear rate, that the Act of Oblivion freed him, and that having ever
since his composition submitted to the Government, he conceives it
very unjust to demand anything from him, and that he would pay
no more taxes. Thereupon he rose, and the rest of the gentlemen
followed, but a troop of horse was sent after Mounson, and he was
carried prisoner to his own house.
" The deputies or majors in all counties proceed with rigour in
assessing all compounders, and others not actually in Cromwell's
service or favour " (p. 303).
XU PREFACE.
" Several persons are now sequestrated for being in the late
King's garrisons in time of war, though they only lived there
because their estates were there, and never acted ; but nothing will
satisfy the Majors General, vt^hose wills are laws in the country. I
am very sorry for the sufferings of these neuters" (p. 210).
And again, a few months later, —
" There are great distempers now among the great ones that rule
in England, and Cromwell is more full of jealousies than ever.
Lambert is the army's darling and the only person courted ; he has
acted more these three weeks than in aU his time before. He is
daily in Council, and carries all before him ; he has chosen all the
new life-guard, who are absolutely his creatures. Col. Lockier [ Wm.
Lockhart] who married a kinsman of Cromwell, goes ambassador to
France, but with him Lambert sends his secretary, a subtle villain.
The rebels are still in great want of money, and Cromwell intends,
by his Majors General, to make the rich citizens pay him good sums.
Many gentlemen are leaving London, choosing rather to faU into the
hands of the country Majors-General than into those appointed for
London and Middlesex. People that never thought of going beyond
seas are now meditating how to get out of England speedily"
(p. 236).
His correspondent, replying from Paris, writes thus : —
" I cannot tell what to say as to your writing that Lambert is
the darling of the army. It is true that he is the only active
person in England, and the man used by the Protector formerly to
cajole the army, so that I hear that the army are not well pleased
with him" (p. 26.5).
The Royalists who were driven out of their country-
retired for the most part to Planders, where a plot was
hatched, including amongst its favourers several discon-
tented Parliamentarians, who craved the King's distinct
approhation of their scheme, and the assurance that the
past would be forgiven in favour of their present loyalty
(pp. 133,155). The leading features of the plot were to
surprise Gloucester and Bristol, and then effect a rising, to
start which 6,000 men were promised (pp. 329, 344).
It was hoped that Charles II. would receive an invita-
PREFACE. xm
tion to remove to Flanders ; Antwerp was at first spoken
of (p. 196), but the invitation was tardy in its arrival.
Sec. Nicholas writes from Cologne, on 23 November 1665, —
" Many of our friends would have the King go to Flanders with-
out invitation, and negotiate his own business with the Archduke
and the King of Spain's ministers. Some are so earnest that they
would not have him wait till he knows that his presence there
would not be unacceptable, which is a strange precipitation, and
might beget distrust in a people that love to walk with a slow pace
in affairs of consequence. If the King hastens into Flanders before
he is expected, it may so disorder the ministers that they may
advise him to withdraw, or it may make Cromwell the sooner
patch up a peace with Spain, with the same conditions for
excluding the King and his family out of all his dominions as the
King of France has consented to, and what then would become of
his Majesty? Keep all this to yourself, and let me have your
opinion on it " (p. 31).
The following February he writes, still from Cologne : —
" We expect by the next post an invitation from Flanders for
the King's going thither, and Hyde is so full of belief of it as he is
earnest with me that / should prepare to go with him, on Monday
next from here ; but till I see that the King is invited, I shall not he
so hasty ; if the King shall command me to [go] when the first
company doth, I shall leave my wife and family here till I see
where the King will settle, and Ned, who is lame with the gout,
shall stay with his mother. If the King when in Flanders makes
a conjunction with Spain, and settles in those parts, consider
whether you had not best remove thither " (p. 191 ; the italics are
in cypher).
The hopes of the English Eoyalists were concentrating
upon a breach between Cromwell and Spain (p. 32) ; this
migbt lead to an alliance between Spain and CharlesII.,
which would unite their efforts against the common foe.
Charles offered great service to Spain by sea and land, if
that King would allow him the free use of Dunkirk and
Ostend. Charles expected much from the loyalty of the
English fleet, if only they had ports to which they could
XIV PREFACE.
securely resort, and from those ports troops could be
conveniently landed in England. The Admiral of Ostend
promised the King 3 ships, and Charles proposed to live
near Dunkirk (p. 32).
If Royalist authorities are to be credited, the discontent
was general in the English fleet. In a confidential letter
written 4 March, 1655-6, Sec. Nicholas says : —
" The fleet in the Downs is very mutinous. Blake and Montague
were sent by Cromwell to pacify the seamen, who are angry because
Lawson is not Vice-admiral. Cromwell took his commission from
him, suspecting him to have had a hand in last year's mutiny.
Badiley takes his place, but is not so well beloved as the other.
The discontent among seamen is so general that, if they had known
they would have security in the King of Spain's ports, by his having
made a fast conjunction with our King, many, nay most of the fleet
would have abandoned Cromwell, who is said to be most odious
among the seamen " (p. 209).
The Royalists took means to foster this discontent
(p. 237). One outcome of it was great reluctance on
the part of seamen to accept service in the fleet. The
agents employed to press them are constantly reporting
the extreme difiiculty they find to obtain men (pp. 160).
Erom Plymouth, Yarmouth, Aldborough, and South-
wold, came complaints not only that the men ran away
from the press, but that the bailiffs, constables, &c.,
refused to give the press-masters vigorous assistance, and
practically connived at the escape of sailors (pp. 157-8,
163, 169, 173, 215).
Major Burton writes from Yarmouth : — •
" Southwold was beset by Col. Brewster's trdop, but the officers
of the town were so base that they could not get a man ; as fast as
our people searched one part of the town, they got into the other,
although they searched with candles. I am sending warrants to
the constables in the hundreds to apprehend the seamen who were
pressed, and have run away with the State's money, as also to
PREFACE. XV
impress others, but the seamen are so afraid of being sent to the
West Indies that they say they would as soon be hanged. I never
saw men so hard to be obtained in my life " (p. 160).
Another reason of the unpopularity of sea service was
the prevalence of piracy, and the frequency of captures of
ships.
The unsettled state of affairs between England and
Spain was productive of very disastrous results at sea.
An order was given for seizure of all Spanish ships in
English harbours, and letters of marque were frequently
issued to sufferers from the Spaniards (pp. 17, 250, 301,
388) . Some time elapsed before a formal order was issued
to seize English ships in Elanders (pp. 31, 50, &c.), yet
the Dunkirkers and Ostenders were cruising about in all
directions at sea. Not only these, but ships set out
by privateers, with commissions from Charles II., and
James Duke of York, as Lord Admiral, manned partially
at least by Englishmen, inflicted great damage on all
vessels that were heedless enough to venture without
convoy (pp.281, 298, 304, 343-4, &c.). A proclamation
was issued ordering that no quarter be given to English-
men taken on board such vessels, as they had already been
summoned to return home (p. 293).
Petitions for the grant of convoys, and complaints of
the mischiefs accruing from their paucity and the diffi-
culty of obtaining them, are very frequent (pp. 203, 210-1,
229, 239-40, 264, &c.)
Whether there would actually be a declaration of war
between England and Spain was for some time matter of
doubt. In November 1655, it was said that Spain still
hankered after an accommodation, and that an envoy
from Cromwell had arrived at Madrid, but that the King
held back, in hopes that the Levellers would fulfil the
XVi PREFACE.
promise they had made to till the obnoxious Protectorj
and then "he would easily make peace with England,
though it were a E,epublic, as probably it would be if
that monster were in his grave " (p. 31). In December
it was still surmised that Cromwell would " patch up a
trade-peace " (p. 68). Things took a turn, however, with
the new year, and on 1 February v/e are told that the
King of Spain is resolved to arm all he can against
Cromwell. The point on which conciliation had become
impossible was that Cromwell demanded free trade in
the West Indies, and some ports there to secure that com-
merce " which the King of Spain will rather hazard his
crown than yield to " (pp. 159-60).
His aj)prehensions of Cromwell's designs were strength-
ened by an evidence of design to plant West Indian
colonies, as 2,000 young women were sent over thither.
" An excellent expedient," writes Nicholas,
" to pay the godly women for their silver thimbles and bodkins,
lent the rebellious State at the beginning of the rebellion, for in
those Indies, they may Lave wedges and ingots of silver, to make
thimbles and bodkins for all the holy sisters in England" (p. 210).
The previous volume of this Calendar notes Cromwell's
capture of Jamaica, and the preparation of another fleet
for the West Indies. This volume records the preparation
of two fleets ; one was to be under Vice- Admiral Lawson,
who was to command the " Resolution," but he was
superseded ; either he refused to go because he was
required to act under sealed orders for greater secrecy,
and was not allowed to know the object of the expedition
(pp. 135, 141, 197), or Cromwell took his commission from
him. Both statements are made by Eoyalist authori-
ties (p. 209). Vice- Admiral Eich. Badiley was appointed
in his place, but was not nearly so popular among the
seamen.
PRE"PACE. XVJi
The otlier fleet was to be under Generals Blake and,
Montague, to go to the Straits (p. 110). Its equipment
and manning were strenuously cared for, and an embargo
was laid on other ships, at the time of its departure, that
sailors might be obtained with less difficulty (pp. 187, 191,
195). On 29 February 1656, we hear that "our terrible
fleet of 40 ships is nearly ready, but wants men, and money,
will not be had on any condition" (p. 206). The lack of
men was supplied by putting soldiers on board, in the pro-
portion of one to five of the seamen (pp. 65, 119), and in
March the ships were fairly started, sailing from Torbay
(p. 513). On April 2 three provision ships were sent after
them to Lisbon, and on 9 April their arrival at the
Southward Cape is recorded.
Their first object seems to have been to intercept the
Spanish "West India ships. In this they were only
partially successful, as they record the arrival of 4 West
India ships in Spain, and the departure of 28 Spanish,
sail, whereof 3 were men of war, to the West Indies
(pp. 529, 534).
Their second object was to bring the King of Portugal
to a decision as to the part that he would take in the
impending contest between England and Spain. The
articles first tendered to him were liberty of religion to
English merchants there resident ; leave to victual in
his ports; and the payment of 20,000^. which was pro-
mised for damages done by the Portuguese to English
mercliants. These requests were at first flatly refused.
Cromwell, in his anxiety to secure access to the ports
of Portugal, in his approaching contest with Spain,
consented to waive the article about religion, and early
in March, sent Phil. Meadows over as envoy (p. 236,
503, 504). A more powerful argument than any that
Meadows could use however was the arrival, in the
b 2
xviii PREFACE.
neighbourhood, of the English fleet. In May we hear
that Blake is ordered to attend the return of the Por-
tugal fleet from Brazil, and threaten the intercepting of
it and the appropriating of its treasures (p. 333). A
correspondent on one of the ships writes thus :
" Those in the fleet regret being idle. When we left England
"we expected to have done great things, and should have done but
for slackness and false intelligence. The Spaniard keeps his fleet
in, is strengthening his garrisons, and does not intend making any
attempts upon us, but merely try to weary us out, and we, with
our present strength, are not able to molest him. We are too
self-conceited and selfish. Men are troubled for want of prizes,
but not that the work of God does not go on, and that we do no
service against our enemy, one of the main supporters of the whore
of Babylon. England's glory must be performed by England's
self-denial.
" The Portugal begins to be very jealous of us, and is afraid of
his Brazil fleet, which is expected home in six weeks. He has
denied the building of an English church in Lisbon, as the Pope
and Jesuits will not consent, and no men are allowed to go further
on shore than the watering place. The fleet is in good condition,
and men healthy. We are expecting ships from Holland^ laden
with munition, and 2 great Holland merchantmen are stayed on
suspicion.
" The English fleet is much troubled by .3 gallies that come out
of Cadiz every morning in calm weather, and as they keep beyond
the guns' range, there has been a great waste of powder and shot
on them, without anything being done " (p. 313).
On June 16, the same correspondent writes from Cascaes
Ex)ads :
" The fleet arrived here on the 5th inst., and forced a conclusion
of the 5 years' work already spent, which would have taken 5
more in shuffling, had we not come and lain between the Brazils
fleet and home. The Colchester went to Lisbon, and received the
50,000L ordered to be paid on the agreement, and it has since
been shipped in the Sapphire and Phoenix for England. The
Eear-Admiral with his squadron were also sent for from Cadiz
here. The Spanish business does not look handsomely, but I
PREFACE. XIX
conceive our designs will take effect, and be greatly for the
honour of the nation. We hear 4 Hollanders got into Cadiz
with anchors, cables, powder, and shot, while the Rear-Admiral
was watering at Tanzy [Tangiers ?]. I think Cadiz, with the
Spanish Armada lying unrigged, is worth the sending over
8,000 or 10,000 men, as, if Cadiz should not be taken, yet the
beleaguring of it, while we are destroying the Armada, would
save a deal of charge, by keeping less ships upon that coast, and
the Spaniard would be wholly undone, and we should thus be
able, with less danger, to possess and keep any place we have
a mind to for the future upon his sea coast.
" P.S. — The Generals, hearing that the man-of-war which took
the Cullen was gone into Vigo with her prize, have sent the
Fairfax with 5 others, either to bring her away or burn her"
(p. 373).
This ends the information on the subject afforded iu the
present volume.
Several points of home legislation deserve notice. Col.
Edm. Harvey, one of the Commissioners of Customs, and
Capt. Langham, their cashier general, being suspected of
fraud in the discharge of their important duties, were
suspended and committed, Harvey to the Tower, and
Langham to the custody of the Serjeant-at-Arms (pp. 8, 9).
A committee appointed to examine the whole accounts
reported that the smallness of the cashier's salary — only
lOOZ. a year — ^had subjected him to undue temptation
(pp. 16, 19).
Harvey fell ill under the strain of his confinement and
its attendant anxieties ; physicians were sent to the Tower
to examine him and, on their report, he was allowed in
December to go to his house at Fulham for a month, on
security to the Lieutenant of the Tower to give himself
up to custody at the month's end (p. 76). This security
was first fixed at the enormous sum of 20,000^., equal
to more than 80,000^. of our present money (p. 78),
but it was afterwards reduced to 10,000^. (p. 92). Process
XX PREFACE.
was issued from tlie Exchequer on his estate, both real '
and personal, for payment of- the moneys due for Customs
(pp. 119, 137), and on that account he was allowed the
liberty needed to pursue his affairs (p. 129). Shortly
after, his leave of absence from the Tower was renewed,
and he jBlnally obtained his discharge (p. 169).
As it was found necessary that Langham, being cashier,
should from time to time be present at the exa^mination
of the accounts, he was liberated on bail, in such suras as
the Committee for Preservation of Customs should decide
upon (pp. 242-3).
In spite of the repeated requests of Harvey and of
Judith his wife, for dispatch, the enquiries were long
and tedious (pp. 55, 71, 99, 164), The issue was that
the Commissioners, viz., Harvey, Aid. Rob. Tichborne,
Mark Hildesley, and the late Dan. Taylor, were brought
in debtors to the amount of nearly 50,000^., and this sum
was rigorously demanded (pp. 38, 273). They pleaded
for delay, and revision, the accounts being long, and
complicated by the cashier, and obtained first a week,
and then a fortnight's delay (pp. 286, 295).
Meantime the Navy Treasurer, Hutchinson, requested
the appointment of a committee to enquire into an unjust
demand of Harvey for sums that were never paid to
Hutchinson, that the guilty might be proceeded against ;
the case was referred to the Committee on Public
Money (p. 292), and the Customs' Commissioners were
finally brought in debtors only to the amount of
23,000/. Of this part fell to the share of the estate of
the late Dan. Taylor, one of the Commissioners, whose
heir being under age, there was diflQ.culty in raising his
proportion. They were prepared to pay in 13,000Z., but
■they begged a respite for the remaining 10,000/., on the
plea of the improvement of Customs whilst in their hands —
PREFACE. XXi
the interception of trade with Holland and Portugal, and
the prohibition of French commodities notwithstanding —
and also of the obligation laid on them to make good all
losses sustained through the collectors of out-ports, which
had been allowed to their predecessors (p. 328). Finally
an arrangement by which they proposed to pay 22,000^.
within 18 months was accepted, but reducing the time
to 12 months (pp. 352-3).
A fresh contract was entered into with other Commis-
sioners for the management of the Customs, but the
particulars of it transpire only partially (p. 232). Crom-
well himself guarded the provisoes, so as to make not
only the superior officers, but the inferior, dependent on
himself for their appointments and retention in office
(p. 241, 246).
The proceeds of the Excise and Customs having been
set apart for the use of the navy, it was ordered that the
Commissioners should pay them weekly to the Navy
Treasurer, drawing np weekly accounts. Many of these
are still preserved, and will appear in .a series in the
calendar for December 1650 (pp. 259, 282).
An offer was made by three merchants, whose long
trading had given them experience in matters relating to
Customs, to take the supervision of this branch of the
revenue, which they expected to raise 100,000^. a year, and
their demand was only 2s. a pound on any advance above
5O,O00Z. It was deemed expedient that they should have
the oversight of the subordinate officers, for discovery
of fraud or neglect in the management of exports and
imports, and a patent was granted them accordingly
(pp. 41-2, 64).
Another point of interest in home legislation was the
treatment of the Jews, relative to their free admission
to trade in England. Manasseh Ben-Israel published a
XXll PREB^ACE.
book, wliicli lie presented to Council, in favour of the
legality of their admission. Their requests were for
personal security, freedom of worship, private cemeteries,
permission to trade freely, appointment of an ofiBcer to
whom they should take the oath of fidelity, and leave
to reconcile their own differences among themselves,
without appeal to civil law. Also a general revocation
of former edicts asjainst Jews.
These proposals met with strong opposition ; it was
urged that they would seduce the English to Judaism,
would injure trade, and that the Jews would set a bad
example by their practices in regard to marriage and
divorce, and their laxity as to the observance of oaths
to Christians. It was represented that they ought not
to be allowed to speak, act, or write, to the disparage-
ment of Christianity, to keep Christian servants, or to
hold any office of trust, and that severe penalties
should be inflicted on any persons apostatizing to
Judaism (pp. 15-6).
A large committee of 28 persons, representing the
interests of religion, law, and trade, was appointed to
meet with the Committee of Council to which the peti-
tion of the Jews bad been referred (p. 23), to consult
as to granting them some concessions, but the strong
religious prejudices of the people took alarm at the idea
of the proposed toleration. A captain and Navy Com-
missioner writes : " I observe the great business of the
Jews is under consideration. I hope the Lord will direct
in a matter of such concernment. If the first question
should be passed in the affirmative — whether a Jewish
nation shall be admitted to live in this Commonwealth —
I hope the next will be whether a nation shall be suffered
by a law to live amongst us to blaspheme Christ " (p. 51).
A few days later he thanks his correspondent for his large
PEEFACE. XXlll
letter about the Jews, " by whicb I perceive there are
"workings of the heart to know God's mind in a business
of such consequence. I hope it is in truth, and that the
Lord will appear, so as that their table may not prove
our snare. I see cause to fall in with Mr. Peters again,
especially with the latter part of his discourse, for there
may be just grounds to question whether they be Jews,
and it may be observed that some of them have made
but little conscience of their own principles " (p. 58).
This was in December 1655. By the following March,
though far from having obtained all their requests, they
had made some progress. They had obtained leave to
meet in their private houses for devotion, and by the
agency of Manasseh Ben Israel, they renewed their
desire for a written protection, and for licence to have
their own cemetery out of town (p. 237) .
An incidental notice of Ben Israel occurs in reference
to a polyglot edition of the Bible, concerning which
there are several letters addressed to Williamson, who
was one of the subscribers (pp. 286, 339, 366).
H. Thorndike writes that the late Lord Primate, Arch-
bishop Laud, made him consult Ben Israel about the
original of the Masora, " which (as he had read) con-
tained the bulk of a Bible, carefully prepared in some
of their synagogues, and he oiSered to pay for it, if it
could be procured, so as to ascertain the reading of their
Bible ; but either skill or will to pleasure Christians was
wanting, for I could not persuade him to comply. If it
had been obtained, it could not have come into this
edition, but somewhat might have been found about the
value of the original " (p. 366).
The letters addressed to Williamson, afterwards secre-
tary to Charles II., give us some insight into the literary
life of the times. Williamson was a fellow of Queen's
XXIV PREFACE.
College, Oxford, and a collector of books, and therefore
in his correspondence we have a sprinkling of college
news and gossip about books. Moreover Williamson
became travelling tutor to four youths, sons of Mr.
Brome Whorwood, of Sandwell, co. Stafford, of Sir Pras.
Norris, of Sir John Lowther, and of Lady Lowther by a
former marriage. In the fond anxieties of the parents,
and the erratic tendencies of the sons, we have a specimen
of the "old and young England" of the 17th century.
Sir Prancis Norris writes to Williamson, then at Saumur
in Prance :
" I hope Ned will make the best use of his time. Let him not
■want for anything fit for him. My wife sends her service. Our
blessing to Ned" (p. 188).
" I hope Ned's good disposition continues, gentle dealing does
best with him. There has been a sad accident by quarrels among
friends. The place where you are is very dangerous ; Ned should
have some money in his purse, beside the 501. that I shall send
him. I hope he will give himself to reading, and learn to under-
stand French " (p. 281).
Again, he writes :
" I send 60Z.; lOl. is for Ned's own purse. I see your influence
over him continues, and I hope there is no difference. I wish he
were more in love with your reading to him. Mr. Whorwood
speaks of his son's coming home if mine does, but we must
understand each other's intentions.
" Do you discover an aptness in my son to the language ? I
should like him to write and read it. I enclose a letter to him
from his mother ; he will notice her motherly counsel ; he is very
dear to her. There must be clothes bought " (p. 298).
On June 18 he writes further :
" Mr. Whorwood only said he would send for his son when I
sent for mine, but only that I love Ned's company, I think he is
as well there ; if he wishes to go further, I will not hinder. The
route you speak of for Italy is somewhat dangerous, both by sea
and land. Tell me what Ned desires ; he will be much bettered
by this going abroad. Do not let him have too much disputation
about religion.
PREFACE. XXV
" We have hot weather. Ned should avoid violent excursions
and strong wine. God preserve him from infection. Tell him his
colt is a very fine one " (p. 378).
Sir Jolin Lowther writes :
" I find from my son that my letters to him are missing ; tl>ey
commended improvement in his style and matter, and reproved
some excess in expense ; he must not exceed the allowance of a
younger brother, but I find by cousin Northleigh that he is too
much given to tennis. Tell me his faults that I may use my
authority to cross them. Be circumspect of his carriage, . and
remove occasions of folly from him. I will send the salary, and
if the fruits answer our hopes, I will be mindful of you. Can
you receive a youth of 17, son of a special friend of mine, who
is to be sent to France, and if so, at what allowance ? " (p. 333).
And again :
" I suppose my wife's son has arrived with you. Have an eye
over their actions, and prevent their errors. My son Richard
cannot stay, long, as I intend him for the common law, but he
should get the language by reading authors and conversing. Wo
go north to-day ; write me of their progress in study " (p. 387).
Mr. Whorwood, sen., writes :
" I am troubled that you do not get my letters and remittances
for Brome. I will consult with Sir Fras. Norris about .your
intended motion with your charge, which I like. I am sorry
they make so slow progress with their French, but better creep
than stand still ; do all you can to promote it. Tell Brome I
am sorry he is such a blockhead, pleasing himself rather than
me " (p. 372).
Several entries occur in this volume relating to the
foundation of a college in the city of Durham. It
originated in a petition of the mayor, aldermen, and
inhabitants of the city, and of the justices, sheriffs, grand
jury, and gentlemen of the county, for the foundation of
a college for religious education, the houses of the late
dean and prehends to be settled on trustees, and the funds
given to the college, as also the rental of Wickham
xxvi FEEFACE.
and Gateside manors, formerly belonging to the bishop
(pp. 140, 156).
A committee of 5 members of Council was appointed
to consider of persons fit to draw up regulations for it
(p. 213), and they returned a list of 26 persons, 9 of
"whom were members of Council, 3 law oflS.cers, several
ministers, and others gentlemen of Durham and New-
castle, who were to meet at Whitehall for the purpose
(pp. 218, 288, 297, 325). To forward the undertaking,
letters were addressed by Council to 14 gentlemen of
Durham, Darlington, Newcastle, and York, requesting
their subscriptions in its behalf, " cousideriag the ad-
vantage to the gentry round of its speedy erection "
(p. 262).
We find several notices of the seizure of books, both
on moral and political grounds, e.g. :
" Sportive Wit ; or, the Muses' Merriment," as being
scurrilous and profane (pp. 288, 298).
" Choice Drollery, Songs and Sonnets," on the same
ground, delivered to the Sheriffs of London to be burnt
(p. 314). Likewise Ex otio negotium; or, Martial's
Epigrams translated, as tending to the corruption of
manners (p. 325).
Certain books not named were also seized as " reflexive
upon the present Government" (p. 308).
We have an account of the performance, in May 1656,
of Sir Wm. Davenant's opera, afterwards printed under
the title of " An Entertainment at Rutland House," but
here called " The Entertainment by Music and Declara-
tions, after the Manner of the Ancients" (p. 396).
Also notice of a Council order, granted at request of
Gen. Montague, that the " monument money at West-
minster should be appropriated in reversion to the main-
tenance of 5 masters of music " (p. 204). One of these,
PREFACE. xxvii
Thos. Ball, a Royalist, was allowed to remain in London
and Westminster, and teach music, the late Proclamation
notwithstanding (p, 63).
The period embraced by the present volume is only
eight months, owing to the number of original papers pre-
served, which are more abundant in 1656 than in the
years immediately before or afterwards.

1655. ^«^- CI.
Nov. 1. Council. Day's Proceedings (cont.)
Exeter, merchant, to be the Trade and Navigation Committee, to
regulate and improve trade, and receive propositions for the benefit
thereof; to send for Customs' officers, or others of experience, to
consult with, to view all records of the late Trade Council which
may be useful ; and when they have decided on any new measure,
to report the same to Council. With power to appoint a secretary,
clerks, and other officers, with fit salaries, and to report them for

Henry Moore, who was engaged in the last insurrection. The
Receiver-General of Berks to see this order executed.
10. The particulars brought in by Col. Sydenham of the pensions
charged on the Exchequer, with the arrears on other payments,
beside the Navy, referred to the Treasury Commissioners who are
members of Council, also to Desborow, Lambert, and Jones, to con-
sider which of the sums mentioned must be paid at once, and to
report. Annexing,

14. The Committee's report on Lionel Scott's case to be con-

15. The King of Spain has laid an embargo on English ships and
goods in his dominions without premonition — although by the Treaty
of 1630, 6 months' notice was to be given, in case of a breach of peace
between the nations, — and justifies his conduct on pretence of an
English fleet sent to the West Indies, although it is notorious that
for years the kings of Spain exercised barbarity towards all
English coming for trade, or driven by weather into the West
Indies. Therefore his Highness, after full debate in Council, finds
himself obliged to remedy these hostile courses, and grants a
general embargo on all ships and goods belonging to the said King
or his subjects, and also universal reprisals against the subjects of
Spain, Flanders, and his other territories, at sea or in port, to be
brought to judgment in the Admiralty Court, and condemned ac-

Particulars of ships. I send account of the remains of stores in
Gen. Perm's fleet, and of beer in the George and Unicorn. Last
Friday, going down the river, I spied some gentlemen on board the
Naseby, and found them to be the eldest son of Lord Nieuport, the
Ambassador of HoUand, with other gentlemen, and a servant who
has more than ordinary skill in taking landscapes and painting
ships. He had drawn TJpnor Castle and some part of the Naseby,
and they were recommended by Col. Crompton, Governor of
Gravesend, for a sight of the rest of the navy. I used them civilly,
but begged they would not take it ill if I demanded their drafts,
which I have sent up sealed, believing such attempts are not
allowed without the consent of the Lord Admiral or Admiralty.
They had a desire to take the river at the situation of the new
dock, pretending it was their master's desire, but I could not suffer
it without order; I told them I doubted not you would gratify
the Ambassador's desire, as far as conduced to the safety of the
nation. Jas. Pollard, steward of the Triumph, has been very
diligent in his employment. [If pages.]
Nov. 6. 106.. Petition of Archibald, Marquis of Argyle, to the Protector.
I have come, as in duty bound, to kiss your hands, expecting no
change in particular cases in the laws and constitutions of those
nations, as practised many years past; but last Thursday I was
arrested at the suit of Eliz. Maxwell, widow of the late Earl of
Dirleton, because in 1644 and 1645, I, -with many more, became
bound to her husband for meal for the armies then on foot for the
good cause. Lord Dirleton accepted for this debt a receipt on the
Parliament of England, and it was only by negligence that the
bond rested in his hands. Being a Scotch bond, amongst Scots, and
now in process before the Judges there, it is hard that a Scot

should have to answer here ; for the Scotch, though never so
unjustly arrested, would often find it impossible to get bail here.
I beg tliat I may be redressed in this particular, and that all suits
of Scots against me may be referred to the Judges in Scotland.
With note of the Lord Chief Justice's opinion that it would be
best for Lady Dirleton to withdraw the case, and leave it to the law
of Scotland. [^ page-]

tenderness has been shown them, as appears by the reference of
Parliament, Sept. 1653, to the Council of State, and the letter from
the Council of State to the then Lord Mayor, for stay of proceedings
against them ; and also as the Reformed churches, some of which
have lately been treated so cruelly abroad, would resent any severity
from us, we recommend the matter to your care, that the Protestant
strangers may have liberty to exercise their trades without punish-
ment at law, or they would be exposed to beggary. With note of a
like letter, mutatis mutandis, to the City of Westminster. [J. 76,

Nov. 7. Pres. Lawrence to Lord Broghill. Your letters of Oct. 4 and 25,

As the late Act of Navigation prohibits such goods coming in

who, being a delinquent, the trust lands became forfeit to the State,
though still subject to the trust, but Fras. Hungate, his infant grand-
child, has the estate which was entailed. By the donor's will, if the

York was to nominate to the school and hospital ; but there being no
dean, the Commissioners for Charitable Uses transferred the power
to us, and we have taken all pains therein. We beg power to let

(2.) The danger is great of seducing the people of this nation in
matters of religion.
(3.) Their having synagogues and places of worship is evil in
itself, and scandalous to Christian churches.
(4.) Their practices about marriage and divorce are unlawful, and
will be of ill example.

injuries done to Christians.
(6.) The inhabitants of London suggest that it will be very
injurious to trade.
We therefore consider, —
i. That they should not be admitted to public judicatories, civU
or ecclesiastic, which would grant them terms beyond the

His religion,

iv. They should not have Christian servants.
V. They should bear no public ofSce or trust,
vi. They should print nothing ia our language opposing Christ-

goods belonging to his father, Nich. Leat, value 24,000Z., was seized
at Milo, in the Archipelago, on her voyage to Zante, by 4 vessels of
the King of Spain, and not restored, notwithstanding several sen-

Blake's fleet was paid. On this I went to Dover, and waited 6
weeks, came up when Blake's fleet arrived at Portsmouth, and

Langham may come to us with his keeper, when required, that our

[Nov. 14.] 123. Petition of the justices of peace, grand jurors, and other
gentlemen and freeholders of the County Palatine of Lancaster,
assembled at Lancaster assizes and sessions, and of the mayor and
officers of .the borough towns, for the inhabitants, to the Protector.
We beg- restoration and continuance of the privileges of a County
Palatine, as still enjoyed by the County Palatine of Chester, and to
have our courts of law and equity, and have all causes pleaded
therein, and not in the Duchy Court or elsewhere. The county
was made palatine by Edward III., confirmed by Henry IV., and
by several Acts of Parliament since. Signed by 30 justices of
peace; 34 on the first grand inquest at Lancaster assizes; 25
attorneys; 15 of the grand jury for the sessions for Amounderness
and Blackborne hundreds at Preston ; 17 grand jury for Derby and
Leyland hundreds at Wigan sessions; 15 grand jury for Salford
hundred at Manchester ; Rich. Sumpner, mayor, and 14 aldermen,
&c., of Preston ; Rob. Correll, mayor, Wm. Walsall, recorder, and
17 aldermen, &c., of Liverpool ; Jas. Scott, mayor, Rob. Maudesley,
recorder, and 10 aldermen, &c., of Wigan ; and 379 gentlemen free-
holders. [1 double parchment sheet]
[Nov. 14.] 124-126. Petition of divers inhabitants and freeholders of the
County Palatine of Lancaster to the Protector. The discontinuance
for 2 years of the jurisdiction of the County Palatine, and of the
Duchy Chamber of Lancaster at Westminster has caused us great
prejudice, we having many suits unfinished, and others that can
only be begun in the County Chancery Court, though we wish the
County Palatine to be preserved. Yet as it only extends to parties
and witnesses in the county, we also wish for the Duchy Court, that
a more remote application may free us from the oppression of
neighbours of potency and interest ; also the two are united by
having the same Chancellor, and by the county records being kept in
the Duchy Chamber.
The late Parliament only continued the jurisdiction of both to
10 Oct. 1653, but they must have intended to renew their order, or
there would be a failure of justice in causes depending. Many of
us are or may be purchasers of lands and revenues of the late
King, which we shall lose as to the Duchy tenures, if the jurisdiction
of the Court is taken away. We beg a reinvestment of both Courts,
with all their former rights and privileges. [3 copies, with 19 sheets

Nov. 14. 127. Petition of William, Earl of Lothian, to the Protector. I
have been in the service, civil and military, in England and Scotland,
from 1637 to 1650, and am thus involved in many public debts,
and have spent much of my ovs^n estate and got no relief. In 1647
the Parliament of Scotland appointed me 1,500^. out of the second
20,000L due to the Scots' army, and in 1648 made me Secretary of
Estate, with the benefit of the Signet ; but this latter was taken
from me in 1662, and the 1,500^. is not paid.
I suffered much from imprisonment, quarterings, and plun-
derings in 1648, for opposing the engagement against England, and
by wasting of my lands in 1650 and 1651. I beg payment from
the Exchequer of the 1,500^., which was settled on Goldsmiths' Hall,
restoration to the Signet, and a proportion of the arrears due
thereon. [1 sheet.]

22. The petition of the burgesses, &c., of Chipping Wycomb, co.

admitted into the corporation by the present mayor, justices, and
most of the common council, — referred to Col. Tobias Bridges, to
enquire into the matter, speak to the persons concerned, examine
witnesses, and certify. [Z. 76, pp. 374-8.]
[Nov. 15.] 130. Statement that the Earl of Calendar, when young, willing
to improve himself, travelled beyond sea, and spent most of his days
in the wars of Germany and the Low Countries, where he gained
eminent pi'eferment, and a competent livelihood ; but from affection
to his native country, when he heard of actings in it for religion and
^- liberty, he laid aside his material interests, and served as Lieut.-
General in the Scottish armies in England in 1640 and 1641, and
gained the approbation of the Parliament of Scotland, but so dis-
pleased the late King that by his means the Earl's regiment in
Holland was taken from him.
In 1642 he declined an invitation from the late King to an
eminent charge in his army, but engaged in assisting his suffering
brethren in England ; he was again Lieut.-General of the Scottish
armies in England till their return in 1647, and was useful at the
reducing of Newcastle, &e.
His only failure was, that in 1648, by command of the Estates of
Parliament in Scotland he accepted their service, for which he
suffered 3 years' banishment, his estate was ruined, and his house
at Calendar made a garrison.
Since then he has been quiet, not opposing the English army in
1650 or 1651, nor corresponding with those in arms in the late
22 DOMESTIC
1655.
Vol. CI.
risings in Scotland. He was committed to Edinburgh Castle, not
for refusing to give bond to keep the peace, but for refusing to give
both bond and parole, which he thought dishonourable. The rumour
that he was not employed in the late army in Scotland because of
jealousies between him and Lieut.-Gen. David Leslie is untrue ; he
wished to remain in quiet.
It is oiFered whether his many good services should not overweigh
that one failing, as none others have been fined, forfeited, or im-
prisoned solelj^ for accession to the engagement of 1648.
None are forfeited but prisoners of war on this last invasion,
which he never was, and thus his case is unparallelled, for, —
1. Some who were in the engagement of 1648, and in actions
since, have liberty to go beyond seas.
2. Those who are prisoners and forfeited have a weekly allowance,
and he has had nothing for 2 years, his estate being seized
in 1654.
3. Most of those forfeited have had their estates farmed to their
wives or friends, which is denied him.
4. He who had the like charge at Worcester that the Earl had in
] 648 was fined but not forfeited.
5. Divers who were fined have got themselves discharged.
6. He suffers exceedingly, because by his forfeiture he cannot
stand in any court of justice.
If he had gone to the hills and joined with those in arms, his con-
dition had been better, for they have all got discharge of fine and
forfeiture, and enjoy their estates.
He begs a hearing if anything more is charged against him. Also
that his evidences, writings, and moveables may be restored, his
debts being great, and no interest paid for 3 years ; that his stewards
may pay him the 2 years' rent of his estate, and legal proceedings
against him be discharged. Also that having been forced to a
7 months' attendance, he may have license to remain till 5 Dec.
next. [1-|- pages.]
[Nov. 15.] 131. Abstract of the latter part of the above, adding, that he is
bound, by Gen. Monk's pass, to return prisoner to Leith within
6 months after last May, unless his Highness enlarge his pass, or
free him of his bond ; also that he was acquitted as to the intercep-
tion of a letter written by a servant of his. [| page.]
[Nov. 15.] 132. Information concerning the Earl of Calendar. To the same
effect as the preceding papers. The information given to Col. Lil-
bume of his being concerned in the late risings is false, and he
desires the strictest examination thereon, or of any alleged orders or
letters intercepted, said to be written by him.
He hears that his leaving Holland in 1640 has been misconstrued,
but he came in sincerity to serve his country. [1 page.]

the wardrobe goods from Dunottar Castle were delivered
to Tne, but there were only 12 pieces of ordinary hangings,
■and no feather beds.
When I attended the late King to his coronation in
Scotland in 1633, there were in the keeping of Sir John
Achmoutie, keeper of the wardrobe in Scotland, 200
feather beds, with bed clothes, &c., and as many hangings
as furnished Holyrood House, Edinburgh Castle, LinliUi-
gow, Durnfermline, Stirling, and St. Johnston's, which, at
60 per house, a small proportion, makes 400 pieces.
I asked for a letter to Gen. Monk to assist Tiny agent to
find out these concealed goods (for Cornet Geo. Butler,
sent down in 1654, could hear nothing of them), and but
for me, nothing more would have been heard of them. I
think you should send for a true particular of what there
is, and in whose custody, and the real value, and then
consider what should remain there, and what be returned
for his Highneas's service. If the public ministers in
Scotland are allowed furnishing for their houses, will
not those in Ireland expect the samel 20 Nov. 1655.

relating to the late King, &c. — that his Highness be requested to issue
a proclamation for publishing the matter in the 5th, 6th, and 7th
heads of the orders and instructions. Annexing,
142. Proposals for better carrying on the business relating to
the late King, by the Commissioners for securing the peace
of the Gomvionwealth.
(1.) As in the 5th head, none of that party are to keep
in their houses or families, as chaplains or schoolmasters,
ejected m,inisters or fellows of colhges ; and in the 6th
head, no such schoolmaster or fellow is to preach in
public or private under a penalty ; and in the 7th, none
of that party are, after a certain day, to buy any arms,
offensive or defensive : — these articles should be made
public by proclamation, that none may plead ignorance.
(2.) By the 4<th head, the Commissioners are required to
tax the persons concerned for their estates in the country,
but it often falls out that a man has 501. a year in one
county, and 501. in another, yet not having lOOl. in one
county, cannot be taxed ; therefore he should be taxed in
each county, or his whole estate charged in the county
tvhere he dwells.
All delinqioents should give in a particular of their
estates u,nder a penalty. [1 page.']

Nov. 21. 145. Petition of several inhabitants of Martin's-in-the-Fields to
the Protector. There has been for 50 years a highway, called
Hartshorne Lane, from the Strand to the Thames, which has been
cleansed by the sworn scavengers ; and the water from Giles', Martin's
Lane, and Govent Garden, formerly running above ground, carried
all the filth to Whitehall, to our great annoyance. To prevent this
20 years ago, the late King and Council and the Sewers' Commis-
sioners ordered the said water to be conveyed underground, in a
sewer, to the Thames ; but 9 or 10 years ago, Col. Apsley, the owner,
stopped the sewer, which caused the water to break out in our
houses, and 2 children's lives were lost, but the Commissioners of
Sewers ordered its re-opening. Col. Fenwick, the present owner of
ihe soil, threatening again to stop it, we beg a full hearing of the
Commissioners of Sewers, and all parties concerned therein. 66
signatures, 1 only being a mark. [1 sheet]

gale,
[Sec. Nicholas] to Jos. Jane. The news is confirmed that the
King of Sweden presses the Elector of Brandenburg, who, for want
of assistance, will have to make an accommodation with him which
will prejudice Holland. The States' sending ambassadors to Spain
will not be of service to Cromwell, but if there be a sound war
between him and Spain, it may be to good purpose for the States
to unite with Spain, as indeed they would be forced to do.
No order is yet given to the Admiralty in Flanders to issue
commissions for taking English ships, though there are 20 men-
of-war at Ostend and Dunkirk only waiting commissions to sail.
An envoy from Cromwell is said to have arrived at Madrid, so the
Spaniard still hankers after an accommodation, or hopes that the
Levellers— who have made great applications to Spain, and threaten
to destroy Cromwell — may take him away. The Spaniard is con-
fident there would be an end of designs against him, and he would
' easily make peace with England, if it were a republic, as probably
it would be if that monster were in his grave.
Many of our friends would have the King go to Flanders without
invitation, and negotiate his own business with the Archduke and
the King of Spain's ministers. Some are so earnest that they would
not have him wait till he knows that his presence there would not
be unacceptable, which is a strange precipitation, and might beget
distrust in a people that love to walk with a slow pace in affairs
of consequence^ If the King hastens into Flanders before he is
expected, it may so disorder the ministers that they may advise him
to withdraw, or it may make Cromwell the sooner patch up a peace
with Spain, with the same conditions for excluding the King and
his family out of all his dominions as the King of France has con-
sented to, and what then would become of his Majesty ? Keep all
this to yourself, and let me have your opinion on it.
I have seen a declaration printed by authority, showing the
reasons of Cromwell's severe proceedings against the loyal party.
It ^is penned with as much advantage as may be, and could be
handsomely answered. Barriere's stay in England may be to pro-
ceed in a treaty with Cromwell for an accommodation with Spain.
The Princess Royal's journey for France in this conjuncture may
be of ill effect to his Majesty's negotiations with Spain, and I
suppose proceeds from French counsels, to enjealous the Spaniard
that the King's inclinations and engagements are so much affected
to the French, as to impede his negotiations with Spain. I think Sir
Alex. Hume too sincere in his affection to the King to have had
any hand in persuading the Princess to the journey. Heenvliet and
his lady are extremely averse to it, but on private grounds.
It is strange the Prince of Orange's greatest enemies should make
Prince William Field-Marshal, and Nordwick Governor of Sluys.
Who is to be governor of the Busse ?

I hear Cromwell is in great want of money to carry on his

Nov. 23. John Adams to Pieter Hacker, London. Some captains of this
Dec. 3. nation who were in the States' service against you by sea in the
late war, and are now cashiered, endeavour to get owners for ships
of war to sail from Dunkirk with C. S's. [Charles Stuart's] com-
missions. He has applied to the King of Spain, who, he hopes,
will suddenly embrace his interest, and call him to Brussels. His
party promise themselves restoration by the Spaniard, and begin
to rendezvous in Brabant. The imposition laid on their brethren
in England much troubles them. They say such a contribution
to C. S. would free them out of slavery, for so they call a good
and Godly Government. I am g'oing to Rotterdam, where some
persons are entrusted by C. S. to try what moneys can be pro-
cured of the merchants for setting forth ships from Flanders,
promising the lenders that their goods shall be free, besides great
pennyworths shall be sold them of prize goods. I expect to learn
the names of those who comply. [1 'page. Flanders correspondence!]
Nov. 26. Birford to [Sec. Nicholas ?]. All the birds are flown from
]3ec. 6. Mardyke. I can now open what the King of Scots is about. Before
Antwerp, leaving Dunkirk, I met Ormond's secretary, who told me the King
has sent to Spain offering great service by sea and land if that King
would let him have Dunkirk and Ostend. A pledge for this is
that he doubts not but many of the ships of England will come
to him there, and it is convenient for landing parties in England,
which may hinder the assistance of England to the French army.
The secretary treated with the Admiral of Ostend, my acquaintance,
who told me all this, and undertook to give the King 8 ships. The
King will come to live near Dunkirk if this be granted, which will
not be till war is declared between England and Spain. ' All the
King's hopes are in this war, and the Cavaliers are gathering
about it. I
The Archduke is in the field near Cond^, which we had hoped
to take, but the French are so prosperous, there are no hopes of a '
peace. The Spanish fleet has left 3,000 men in High Spaniola. The
King of Sweden has taken Cracow and has all Poland in his hands,
and has sent to the Emperor for quarters for 30,000 men.
The Pope expects the ambassadors about the peace, of which there
is no appearance.
Shall I send the Irish officers and soldiers to join with the French
army ?
I shall remain here till the Archduke comes to Bi^ssels, which
will be soon, and then meet my brother, and know all. "When you
send me any money send it by post, but alter the handwriting, and
say the gentleman's brother sends it. Be sure you have the bond
cancelled. My surety is Mr. Dekens, at the Shears, Maypole Alley,
near Newmarket. [2 pages. Flanders correspondence. Ihe itaUcs

Nov. 29. 159. Declaration of the Protector. The King of Spain has
lately seized English ships and goods, without the 6 months' notice
agreed upon by the treaty of peace in 1630 to be given in case of
war, having not only exercised for many years great cruelties
to the English in Barbadoes, but now made preparations for war,
and ordered the seizure of English ships; therefore an universal
embargo, seizure, and reprisals have been issued against the said
Eang and his subjects, and his Highness entreats all Princes in
amity with him to restrain their subjects from sending, lending, or
selling to the said King any arms or instruments of war. As
the law of nations allows all such to be treated as contraband, they
will be seized after due notice, and forfeited on proof that they were
intended for Spain,
This declaration to be published by a serjeant-at-arms 3 days on
the Exchange, London, at the time of concourse of merchants, and
copies sent to all foreign ambassadors and ministers here resident.

[Nov. oO.] 162. Proposals of Wm. Cutler, Geo. Blake, and John Welden to
the Protector and Council. Having gained in our trades much
knowledge of customs, and wishing to advance the Revenue, we
request a commission to inspect the receipt of customs and excise,
and to oversee the subordinate officers. We could raise the receipts

turbance of the present rules, or introduction of anything unlawful.
For our pains and expense of our officers, we only ask 2s. in the

below, we will bear the whole expense, which will not be less than
3,000?. a year, out of onr own purses, provided we may be established
in the commission for 3 years. [1 •page.']

they cannot be sold below the present price without great loss. By

Pres. Lawrence to Lord Broghill, president of his Highness 's
Council in Scotland. Your letter concerning indemnity for robberies
committed in the Highlands during the late war has been considered ;
Council thinks a general indemnity prejudicial to many who, having
opposed the rebellion there, and suffered thefts and robberies, have
no way of satisfaction for their losses according to the engagements
made them, in case they should be deprived of their remedy at law
for recovery thereof. Council thinks it expedient to empower the
Council in Scotland to grant indemnity in particular cases, and asks
whether this measure will be sufficient to ward off the evil feared
of the persons running into rebellion. Meanwhile all your suspen-
sions of prosecutions are to be continued. [/. 76, p. 412.]

beg you will send that letter to Council, as I deny the truth of your
report ; I wrote the Commissioners by express order of his Highness,
— on a complaint by Pye that some Dutch ships were in the river
with prohibited goods, which the Commissioners of Customs would
not seize, — that they were to examine the business, and give direc-
tions therein. I appeal to you whether this was writing on behalf of
Pye, whom I have never seen. [1 page.] Annexing,

you will examine the matter, give necessary directions,

any merchants' goods, or refuse to deliver them after they
have been entered and the duties satisfied, the law being
open for any merchant to take his remedy against them in
such cases.
If Pye can prove that the goods are prohibited, which
is not evident to our ojficers, they not being able to make
any such proof, the law directs an information in the
Court of Exchequer, and the goods being registered with
the Registrar of Seizures, we should have granted suf-
ferances for landing thereof into safe custody, that the
duties due to his Highness and the Commonwealth might
be secured. The Commissioners for Customs never judged
theviselves required to make seizures, nor, upon the seizure
'of goods by others, to interpose therein, further than to land
arid secure them, and take care that, either upon compo-
sition or condemnation, the duties due were secured, and
no fraud practised. Custom House, 24 N'ov. 1655. [Copy,

Dec. "3^. [Sec. Nicholas] to Jos. Jane. You seem confident the English are
Cologne. still at Jamaica. If so, the King of Spain should not sufier them
to settle there long. I hear Cromwell (after his old perfidious
manner) has let faU words as though he would restore Jamaica,
which he intends not, if he is sending more ships to the West
Indies ; but such speeches, and some of Cromwell's false instruments
50 DOMESTIC
ic" Vol. CII.
have given life to the Spaniard's hopes of an accommodation. The
villain Cromwell does it on purpose to gain time for preparations,
and to keep the Spaniard from espousing our master's cause. The
Levellers, who have agents in Flanders, persuade the ministers
there that they will kill Cromwell, and then Spain will have peace
with England. This is one great reason why the King of Spain
does not join our master's interests, for Don Alonso acknowledges
that the King's party in England is much stronger and more
numerous than all the other factions.
It would be well to have some brief observations made on Crom-
well's declarations. I can have anything here translated into
French, but those on the reasons for his taxing anew all the
Cavaliers and compounders should be printed in English, and sent
into England.
The Swede has besieged Torne, in Prussia, defeated 500 of the
Elector of Brandenburg's horse, and killed 200, so that a war in
Prussia is feared. The King of Sweden has sent for all the rest of
his cavalry, and those who hold crown fiefs there are to supply them
again, which shows that he intends to pursue his conquest in
Poland.
It is marvelled that there are no commissions in Flanders against
the English ships, as Cromwell has granted 10 letters of marque
against Spain, and not (as you are informed) revoked any of
them.
"We hear of 3 more gentlemen imprisoned in England, on some
intelligence from the miscreant Manning. Cromwell finds opposition
in the counties in settling taxes for raising money to maintain forces,
for the peace of the country, as he pretends. Sir John Mounson, at
a late meeting in Lincoln thereon, told Whalley, major-general of
that shire, that he had compounded formerly at a dear rate, that
the Act of Oblivion freed him, and that having ever since his
commission submitted to the Government, he conceives it very
unjust to demand anything from him, and that he would pay no
more taxes. Thereupon he rose, and the rest of the gentlemen
followed, but a troop of horse was sent after Mounson, and he was
carried prisoner to his own house.
The deputies or majors in all counties proceed with rigour in
assessing all compounders, and others not actually in Cromwell's
service or favour.
If Mr. Stone were at the Hague, he would be put under
restraint for having broken from his guards, unless his peace be
made before he returns, which he is ready to do. [2| pages.

Dec. 10. 13. Maj.-Gen. Edw. Massey to Sec. Nicholas. I have little worth
Hamburg, note to tell you. Yours gave me sorrow to think that such a villain
as that Manning should be near his Majesty, and joy that his
villany is found. I hope his associates at Court, if he had any, will
follow. I wrote to him freely, not suspecting him, and knowing the
regard in which he was held by the King and persons about him.
I am glad my letter did not come to his hand, though it could not

have done the King dis-service, as rather than do this, I would have
both my hands cut off, and would sacrifice my life in his service. I
have kept free from foreign engagements in order to serve the King,
and thank him for all his favours. I pray that God may at length
find out a way to make him a happy Prince over a happy people.
I daily expect to be called somewhere to employ my time, and
make me useful to the King hereafter. I had hoped to serve in the
Elector of Brandenburg's army in Prussia, but fear the new intended
levies will come too late to maintain his station against the King of
Sweden ; nor can the States assist him, so that he must yield to the
Swede's demands enclosed. The King of Sweden has taken Tome,
one of the strongest cities of Prussia, and garrisoned it with 3,000
men, and is marching to Dantzic, from which he demands their fort
royal, — the key of their city to sea-ward, — 2 millions of money,
and clothing for his army ; it is thought the Elector will agree, and
if he has his ports, Pillau and Memel free, he can lock up all
Poland from commerce, and so Dantzic must submit also, and then
Holland may whistle with their promised assistance to the Elector
next spring, and must pay the Swede 23 or 24 per cent, customs.
I hear from a Cavalier lately come from the Swedish army that
Eolt, Cromwell's envoy, with the articles of their agreement, is
magnificently entertained by that King, having a coach and
6 horses to attend him, and goes the next coach to the King, and
has all imaginable honour, which sticks much in my stomach, and
draws me back from thoughts of serving him, if I can with good
conscience find a livelihood elsewhere. I fear the King of Spain and
Cromwell will not be in so good earnest as I wish, for if war were
really intended, the Council of Spain must know how advantageous
it would be to own the interest of our King. If I saw that, I could
hope to be useful in his service. [4^ pages.} Enclosing,

rights as the late King, Queen, or Prince had. The Duchy and County
Palatine were erected by Henry V., and adorned with many honours
and manors, and the Duchy Court has continued since for the ease
of the people, and was the only way of getting in and ordering that
revenue. Its laying aside has been very prejudicial, as at common
law, the lawyers quarrel with the conveyances, and purchasers
lose their rights. Beg its resettlement ; 15 signatures. [1 sheet]

We ordered a survey of the Wren Pink, and received a return
from the master shipwright that she is not worth repairing. As
several of the Flemish ships at Woolwich are in like condition,
we desire orders for their disposal, to save the excessive spoil of
ground tackle required for their security. We find you are changing
the boatswains and other officers of several ships, but hope you will
speedily put others in their room, so that the stores may be
secured and the works on the ships dispatched. [1^ pages.^ An-

obliged to the State as to the duration of their powder, beyond that
they are to make it tower proof We have not tried how long it
will retain its strength, not having had any great quantity before-
hand, until within the last two years ; but we conceive it will retain
its strength 20 years, if kept dry and the casks tight. [1 page.]
Dec. 15. 32. Capt. Fras. Willoughby to Kobt. Blackborne. Thanks for
Portsmouth, remembering Mr. Country ; I have no relation to him beyond
pity. As to Robt. Neale, if I can be instrumental in presenting
persons anyways fit for service, and do good to such persons, I have
my end. I have your full relation of what passed last Wednesday
about the Jews. I know not but Mr. Peters came as near as some
others in his advice. It is a business of no small concern ; they are
a people to whom many glorious promises are made, but they are
as full of blasphemy as any under the sun ; a self seeking generation,
and those who are the greatest sticklers mind little but their own
accommodation ; and whether they can prove themselves Jews is a
question to me.
We are making all haste with the works, and hope to be ready
in a fit time. The Hampshire has come in, the Tiger is tallowed,

Dec. 17. 33. Capt. Fras. Willoughby to Robt. Blackborne. Thanks for
Portsmouth, your large letter about the Jews, by which I perceive there are
workings of the heart to know God's mind in a business of such
consequence. I hope it is in truth, and that the Lord will appear
so as that their table may not prove our snare. I see cause to fall
in with •Mr. Peters again, especially with the latter part of his
discourse, for there may be just grounds to question whether they
be Jews ; and it may be observed that some of them have made but
little conscience of their own principles. What is to be done about
the men of the Hampshire, who have been landed in the town
suffering from the smallpox, brought on from want of clothes, of
which they are quite destitute ? I want copies of the Instructions
to Captains and Pursers for distribution.
P.S. — How are our 40 ships provided with commanders ? [1 page.]
Dec. 17. 34. Rules by the Ordnance officers to be observed by gunners of
Ordnance Office, the State's ships and frigates, for the better regulating of their
accounts.
"When their ship is appointed for sea, to give notice to the Ordnance
officers when it will be ready to take in their stores, so as to prevent
the demurrage of hoys, by its not being ready to receive them.
To keep a clear and full monthly account of all great ordnance
fired by salute or otherwise during the voyage, mentioning the
nature and number of the ordnance, and the day they were fired.
Also of all collars of bandoleers spent in exercising, keeping watch,
or otherwise.
Also of the expenditure or loss of round shot of all natures, and
likewise every particular mentioned in their indenture.
No powder or other stores to be delivered for ships but by order
under the captain's hand, and a receipt taken from the consignees,
that they may be charged therewith on passing their accounts.
If any powder be wasted or damnified by wet, through leakage
or other casualty, the captain is to certify the loss on the gunner's
account, that it may be allowed.
The captain is to certify what powder is spent in priming for the
whole voyage, and what he judges may be wasted in filling car-
tridges.
An account is to be kept of aU stores received at sea from any
ships, or in any other place, for additional supplies, to be certified
by the captain at'the end of the gunners' accounts, so that they
may be charged therewith. On the return of any ships from sea,
the gunner is to give notice to the Ordnance officers at the Tower
for all that come to Chatham, "Woolwich, and Deptford, or to the
storekeeper at Portsmouth for such as come in there, that their
remains may be taken before the men are paid off [2| jpages.]

run into danger thereby, Hill being employed in the service of the
State, he replied he did not care a straw for them. Tovey, the
Attorney, has had for the last 5 terms from 30s. to 21. a term for
the suit, and Cord had 10s. of him. With shorthand note that
Cord is to be responsible for the damage touching Hill. [^ p*5'e.]
Dec. [17]. 36. Statement of the Attorney in the case Rayjuans against Hill.
In Trinity Term 1654<, the Plaintiff brought an action of Trover in
the office of Pleas of " the Exchequer, for tobacco and other goods
wrongfully taken from him by the Defendant. In Michaelmas Term
1654, the Defendant pleaded not guilty, and on that issue, the cause
was brought down that term before Thorpe, a Baron of the
Exchequer, at Guildhall, London ; when the Defendant informing
the Baron by petition that his witnesses were not ready, the cause,
by the request of the Baron and consent of the Plaintiff, was referred
to arbitration, but nothing was done, and so the business rested
until Michaelmas term 1655, when the record was brought down
again before Lord Chief Baron Steele at Guildhall. After evidence
had been fully heard on both sides, the Lord Chief Baron moved
that the matter in difference might be referred to the two foremen
of the jury on the cause, which was done by consent of both parties,
and the jury were to deliver their opinion thereon within a week ; but
both parties not meeting before the said jurymen, nothing was done.
Thereupon the defendant, at the last sitting of the Lord Chief Baron,
being on 1 Dec. last, brought down the cause by proviso to be tried,
but the Plaintiff having no notice, nor being ready to attend the
trial, the Lord Chief Baron referred it back to the two foremen,
before whom it yet remains. I was retained for the Plaintiff by
Mr. Cord, a solicitor, and Mr. Capel, who has a letter of attorney
from the Plaintiff, beyond seas, to prosecute on his behalf. [1^ pages.]
Dec. 17. Levant Company to Geo. Baker, treasurer, and the factory at
London. Aleppo. We approve your election of Baker as treasurer, and
request punctual collection of our dues, especially upon the Golden
Fleece, which has just sailed hence. Mr. Vincent will send a list
of the goods entered here, that if any have escaped payment, you
may collect the 2^ dollars per cloth, besides the consulage. We are
confident of your concurrence. I hope you will avoid divisions
among yourselves or with the Consul. Rob. Frampton comes as
your minister, and is to have 400 dollars a year, and his diet in the
Consul's house as usual.
The Golden Fleece, having some goods for Leghorn, could not take
all the cloth ; the Ann Bonadventure will take the rest to Leghorn,
and there deliver it to the Golden Fleece. [Levant Papers, Vol. 4,
p. 257.]
Dec. 17. Levant Company to Rich. Lawrence. Constantinople. We wonder

vided on notice of your great want, and which are to remain for
succeeding ministers. [Levant Papers, Vol. 4, p. 256.]
Dec 3 8. 37. Petition of Ant. Fernandez Caravajal, merchant and free
denizen of this Commonwealth, to the Protector. I have most of
my estate in the Canary Islands, and to recover it, have hired the
Seafortune of Dover ; I filled it with Hollanders, in confidence that
my factor there will procure lading, and prevent its being seized
or embargoed as belonging to English subjects; to save it, I have
ordered him to consign all the lading to merchants in Amsterdam,
though it is really mine, and is to come direct for London. I hope
you will approve my purpose, and order your men-of-war to assist
the ship, the rather as, since you made me a denizen, I have declined
obedience to the King of Spain, which the late Spanish Ambassador
noticed, and therefore, in case of seizure, I can expect no better
measure than an English subject. I beg an order that my ship may
come safe to this port without interruption. With reference to

petition of Lady Mary Darcy {See 5 March 1655), that she have
one third the value of the 11 bars of silver, and that the rest
be paid into the Exchequer. Annexing,
41. I. Report alluded to, that Aid Frederick, wanting a vessel for
Newfoundland, ordered the Anns to be bought, and gave
390L for it, at Plymouth, some present at the sale bidding
very high for it, knowing, as he thinks, of the silver. After
repairs, the ship made but one voyage to Alicant and back
to London, and being leaky, was cast away in her next
voyage to Bartmouth, at Birling, Sussex, when 13 little
bars of silver were found, two of which were taken by
force by the country people, and the other 1 1 with difficulty
saved, and carried to a house at Lewes for security.
Aid. Frederick sending to Leives for the silver, it was
refused, whereon he consulted with [Ban.] Budd, his

his Highness's proclamation for executing the laws against Jesuits
and for conviction of Popish recusants, on which warrant several
honest people have been troubled, as it summons all who have not
received the Sacrament for a year, and are over 21 years of age, [or
are suspected to be popishly affected], to appear before the Justices
of the Peace on Dec. 4 at the Shire Hall, Carnarvon, whereby the
proclamation is perverted. Council therefore refers the matter to
you, to prevent further trouble to conscientious people, and to
receive their complaints. [/. 76, p. 428.]
Dec. 20. Pres. Lawrence to the President and Council of Scotland. A
Whitehall. Great Seal is ordered for Scotland, but Council wants to know to
what uses it is to be applied, that they may prepare instructions
accordingly, and an account must be returned of every occasion on
which it is used, that care may be taken for consistency between
such things as pass the Great Seal of England and Scotland. [J. 76,

Dec. 21. 55. Petition of Rich. Chambers, merchant, late alderman and
sheriff of London, to the Protector. In 1628 and 1629 I had
7,060?. unjustly taken .from me, for maintaining the rights of
Parliament, and I suffered 6 years' imprisonment, for which in 1642
they voted me 13,680?. out of the 165,000?. received from the old
farmers of customs for their delinquency. I was then chosen alder-
man, and in 1644 sheriff, which I wished to decline, but Parlia-
ment pressed me to hold the place, to the expense of 4,000?. My
payment being put off, through urgent occasions for money, in 1648
I was made surveyor and check in the Custom House, — an office then
worth 600?. a year, — which I held 8 months, and was then put out,
on a general remove of the officers.
The late King owed me and my wife 5,000?. on privy seal, and
1,250?. for linen cloth, which was to be paid by 100 marks a year
from Sir Thos. Dawes' office of the customs of tobacco. I am aged
and wearied out by 14 years' fruitless attendance, during which I
have served in person, and lent 580?. 18s. 6c?. on public faith, and
I have to mortgage my estate to support my wife and 9 children. I
beg to serve as a commissioner of customs, a place I once held for 2
years. Noted as delivered to the Protector 19 Dec. 1655.

Levant Company to Sir Thos. Bendish. Thanks for your care in
the late Tunis business. We depend on your future watchfulness
in preserving the privileges of the nation, and our estates from
question on this account.
We have ordered Mr. Lawrence's return, as he cannot contribute
to our affairs by his stay. His scruple of expecting a call from the
State is needless and irrational. [Levant papers, Vol. 4f,p. 258.]
60. Sir Hen. Langdale to Sec. Nicholas, Cologne. The design I
mentioned to you was that of the Levellers. I fear there are curious
eyes over me here, because it is observed that I receive weekly
letters from you ; I have been asked captious questions, which
makes me more cautious in writing, and I have little worth
troubling you about.
The Spaniard continues on his slow pace towards our King. It
is thought Cromwell will patch up a trade-peace. Marquis Barrifere
is ordered to continue in London. It is said the Swiss will soon
rise, and the French Hugenots with them. I wish all this fair show
may not end in a war with Holland, because Cromwell is preparing
flat-bottomed boats, and small frigates, which cannot be for the Indies,
and the French will not let him take any places in this country. I
hear of no vessels taken on either side. If you have no better hopes

from hence than I send you, it is high time to look somewhere else,
both for the King and the Levellers. If there could be any means
to unite that party to his Majesty, it would be a better foundation
than any I hear of, and to begin only with the King's party will but
make a second part of an ill tragedy ; but the Levellers here are
kept secret, and not to be spoken witL [2 pages,]
Dec. 24, 60a. T. Boss to [Sec. Nicholas]. In the enclosed letter, Dick
the surgeon has sent all he has to say about Halsey, who is the
person he names as my companion in a dangerous sea voyage. I
hope you now have the character (cypher) from Mr. Lane to under-
stand the rest, but you will not find in it the word Glasier, which
I think is put for Massey. Dick waits your answer in London. I
am sorry you have no more satisfaction from my thumb friend ; he
wishes me to forbear writing till I hear from him. His friends will
be brought to no reason till they see which way Spain inclines, and
our master is disposed. The panic fear which now involves the
whole nation has entered the most generous breasts. If my friend
make not good what he promised, I hope it will not be imputed to
me, who will never waive hazard to testify my integrity. If you
send an agent to England, let him visit my friend by that token of
taking him by the thumb, that you may learn what can be done, for
persons are not so much feared as letters.
I find from England that the oath that is to be imposed is
extremely feared, and it is thought will destroy our friends like a
massacre. The lieutenants are very severe in exacting the tenths,
and every gentleman must give in the number of his servants, and
security for their deportment, so that all show of liberty is lost ; I
pray that the sense and memory of it be not lost too, if they be long
used to the burden. Endorsed by Nicholas. Eeceived 9 Jan. 165|-,

[Dec. 25.] 64. Petition of James, Earl of NorLhampton, to the Protector.
Upon my release from my late confinement in London, I entered
into a bond for compliance with the present Government, and for
my appearance from time to time, which your Highness ordered to
be taken for one year only. Yet Major Butler has summoned me
to 'enter into new bonds, with sureties, without any limitation of
time, which will tend to my ruin, I being much indebted, my
estate charged with mortgages and annuities, and my brothers'
and sisters' portions yet unpaid. By the late Act for regulating the
Chancery, no relief is to be had against forfeited bonds and mort-
gages after such a time. Having this recognizance as a perpetual
incumbrance on my estate, I cannot raise moneys by sale of lands.
I therefore beg you to order Major Butler to accept a bond from
me to continue in force for one year, and that the old bond may
be cancelled. [1 page.]

le Rose, Suffolk, were settled on Chas. Fleetwood, now Lord-Deputy,
and Frances his wife, by Act of 16 July 1651, after the death of
Sir Ralph Hopton without issue male. That a few months after
Fleetwood's purchase of Sir Ralph's interest therein, from the Drury
House Trustees, Sir Ralph died, and they reverted to Fleetwood,
so that he had to pay 7 years' purchase for but 7 months' enjoy-
ment. That they were much overvalued in the survey, so that the
one moiety is almost their real value. That Fleetwood is therefore
fully discharged from payment of the second moiety, and his recog-
nizances for payment thereof are to be delivered up to him.

"Street, Hague. Ask Lieut Watts to send me a copy of the bill
of exchange that he has for me, for I neither know the sum, nor to
whom it is to be paid, and it imports me much. Lord Culpeper
says there is a strange course taken at the Hague Ugainst Mr.
Binion ; his trunk and goods are arrested for a debt of 2001. to an
Englishman in London, and he had been arrested had he been found.
The debt is assigned over by his creditor to a Dutch merchant. If
such a course were taken with all the King's party in France and
Holland, it would be a great advantage to the Kebels, and an in-
74 DOMESTIC

Council. Day's Proceedings (cont.)
supportable misery to us all who are in debt. Let me know the
truth, for all that good lord's intelligence is not canonical.
Dr. Fraiser, who is to wait on the Princess Royal into France,
says she goes from the Hague on the 14th or loth. I hope she wiU
not stay long, or will not keep the doctor there long, as there is no
physician here who understands anything, in case the King or the
Duke of Gloucester should fall sick in the spring.
The King of Spain still hopes peace with Cromwell, and Barri^re
is stayed in England by the Prince of Condd for that purpose.
Some say an envoy has arrived in the west of England from the
King of Spain. When that King resolves to prosecute the war
with Cromwell roundly, he must take our master by the hand ; but
only absolute necessity will make him do it.
I wonder whom Beverward means by the great spy not yet
discovered among us. The Queen of England, when she leaves
Paris, as by the articles with Cromwell she must do, goes to a
house 2 leagues from Paris belonging to the French King, called
Madrid.
I much mislike the Princess Royal's going for France, and the
worse for the Princess Dowager's advising it.
Capt. John Griffith, and little Mr. Griffith, who served the Duke
of Gloucester, are both forbidden the Court, on evidence that they
were very intimate with Manning, though there is no evidence that
they were privy to his intelligence ; but they were observed to be
very private with him on post days.
"We think the King of Spain and the Elector are agreed by this
time. I am sorry for the hard measure used towards Mr. Stone,
who, on the Queen [of Bohemia's] word, came to the Hague to end
his difference with Capt. La Mer, wherein her Majesty suffers much ;
but Stone should have avoided coming under the power that now
abuses him. I doubt all English will resent this, with much pre-
judice to the good Queen, who was wont to be more gracious to the
nation.
P.S. — My wife wishes you a happy new year, and that we may
all meet in England before the next. Tell me how Mr. Somerdyke
takes my writing to him. [3 pages. Holland correspondence.']

took off the seizure. Has conformed to all Acts and Ordinances,
and yet, on the late instructions for taxing the estates of all delin-
quents, has been summoned as a delinquent, and taxed at one tenth
by Maj.-Gen. Kelsey and the Surrey Commissioners, who say that,
as he is assessed, only his Highness and Council can relieve him.
Begs the taking off the tax, and examination of his case. With

knitting and making of silk stockings, to the Protector. We were
the first inventors of this art, which is an English invention, and
no part of the world has it besides. It has been much coveted by
strangers, to be carried into foreign parts, which we, with much
trouble and expense, have hitherto hindered. But now, by the
insinuations of foreigners with some ill disposed persons of our
trade, it is in danger of being carried away, which would expose
hundreds of families to beggary. We beg you to consider our

the laws touching corporations. [1 page.] Annexing,

of his Highness and Council, our endeavours to provide a competent
number of men qualified to hold forth the light of the Gospel in
the fleets now preparing for sea, and what encouragement is ofiered
to those whose hearts are willing to attend that service. Knowing
your readiness to promote the work, we beg you to improve your
instructions in provoking to the undertaking such as may answer
the end propounded, to examine those presented, and to approve
only such as are well grounded in learning and godliness, and
fitted to improve all opportunities of saving souls ; that neither the
glorious truths of the Gospel may be brought into contempt by
the ignorance, vanity, or erroneous teaching of some who would
crowd into such employments, nor the poor seamen kept in darkness
by the high flown language of others. [Draft corrected, f page.]

week I have begged my wife to find him out, but he is not in
London. I hope now you will be better served, for I have found
a young gentleman called in your character, Mr. Farley (Ant. Hun-
gerford). His father is the great heir to his name, this estate
1,000Z. a year. He goes to-morrow for England, and engages to settle
you a correspondent there, who can tell you some of the Arcana of the
rebels. He is his father's darling, and hopes to get a considerable
sum for you. I hope our friends in England, being now under the
lash, are so sensible of the smart that they will do their duty. I
find, by the enclosed from my thumb friend and other letters, that

they would gladly be doing something speedily. The writer tells
you he is going to the gentleman whom he intends an express to
you, and I hope he will not refuse the journey.
Dick Pile is impatient of your letter and commands, and if he
hears not speedily, he will quit England, but I shall urge him to
stay till you can send. I beg your help about a pass. I asked
Mr. Booth, of Calais, to get Lord Jermyn to procure half a dozen
passes to lie ready at Calais for expresses, and among them one
for me, in case of my return ; but Booth, instead of writing to lord
Jermyn, got a single pass for me, for which he asks 20 livres,
which I cannot pay, as it is all I can do to pay for my letters, and
I often spare it out of my belly. Also I am SOI. out of purse by
my journey to Cologne, for those who promised to pay me were
prisoners before my return^ and now I hope to get off my bail for
40^. that I may be free to serve you. My surgeon keeps me in his
hands because I cannot pay for my cure. Pray help me to place
Mr. Booth's account to the King. If I had monSy I would not desire
assistance.
I have been 7 months hoping a way of subsistence by the tuition
of the Earl of Roscommon, but they cannot find money to send him
here, so I am destitute of all support.
I send you the instructions to Cromwell's Commissioners, though
you may have had them already.
P.S. — You ask who are Cromwell's chief councillors. When I
was in England, St. John and Thurloe, who had been St. John's
clerk, with Lawrence, President of the Council, and Nath. Fiennes,
brought in by Lawrence, were of his cabinet ; and sometimes one
of the Pierrepoints— a Parliamentary man with crooked shoulders —
is admitted when advice is wanting. I am glad Manning has
received his reward. I hope all of his stamp will have the like.

so that it will go hard with them. The lawyers are dealt
with in the same kind, for they are not allowed chamber
practice, and were all brought to new composition, and

Sir John Villiers, Viscount Purbeek, for the lodgings over the gate
belonging to his office as keeper of Somerset House, but borrowed

him. [No. 306.]

Guernsey. " Report returned, offered, and recommitted." [No. 310.]
Jas. Browne, an old servant of the late King, for relief ; attended

Anne, widow of Col. Thos. Blundel, slain at Belvoir castle, under
Ferdinando, Lord Fairfax, that 639L 2s. Od., certified by Lord
Fairfax as due to him, may be admitted on the security of the
army. " It cannot be done ; speak with the Lord Lambert as to
what is fit to be done in it." [No. 321.]
Clothiers of the new drapery in Essex and Suffolk, for deliver-
ance from vexatious suits about alnage ; the case has been considered
in Parliament, and a report ready, but it extends only to the old
drapery. " Referred to the Treasury Commissioners." [No. 327.]
Matthias and Thos. Lea, for larger allowance ; have been diligent
clerks under Council many years, but not got enough to defray their
charges. " Council desires to do Mat. Lea good." [No. 337.]

78. Capt. Fras. Willoughby to the Admiralty Commissioners.
I send, as ordered, an account of timber in Ampthill, Weckering, and
Brockborow Parks, which is mostly felled, and worth a considerable
sum. I suppose the trustees at Wi.ircester House acted according to
certificate from their surveyors, but how far these did their duty I
know not ; I was informed that the river was navigable to St. Neot's,
and that the timber could be conveniently carried thither, and from
thence by water ; that from St. Neot's to Bedford was 8 miles, and
from Bedford to Ampthill 5 miles ; but I know not whether it was
Parliament's intention that the miles should be measured, for miles
in some counties are far longer than in others ; 1 think it a long 1 2,
but it cannot be 16 miles, unless they add the badness of the way
to lengthen them. If it is judged that the timber belongs to the
Navy, it will be best to sell the remainder, and make those account-
able who sold what they had no right to.
Particulars of ships. Officers wanted, and recommended. I send
the examinations of the boatswain and carpenter of the Taunton,
respecting some expressions used by their captain. The Portsmouth
has arrived with 15 or 16 small vessels from St. Malo, and reports
that numerous Ostenders are skulking about the rocks thei-e, so that
our great ships dare not venture there, and that this much prejudices
the trade of those parts. [If pages.]

Council of 2 Dec. of Rob. Pickering's request for repayment of money
laid out for relief of English at St. Malo, taken by the enemy, and
touching the furnishing the Navy with sailcloth — that they know
of no allowance made at Morlaix for relief of English prisoners
passing home, as is alleged, but the charge ought to be borne by the
masters who employed seamen thus taken. [^ page, unfinished.]

pasture, pannage, and to try matters in difference of whatever

On arrival I fell sick, and all my men were pressed at Plymouth, so
that I could not come to London. Meantime my adversaries, from
whom the Governor and Council of Virginia freed me, proceeded
against me in the Admiralty Court, and got my ship condemned as
prize without my knowledge. I appealed, got a summons for Major
Hazard's appearance, and petitioned the Protector, who referred me

Cottington, surgeon of the Newcastle, for 23 months, but his pay is
suspended, on an allegation that he stole 51. or 61. worth of victuals,
though he only took 2 or 3 Ib.s. of flour and 9 biscuits for hunger.
For this he was so severely lashed by the boatswain that his flesh

190. Petition of John Read, steward of the Worcester, to the
Admiralty Commissioners. I lately asked compensation for loss and
damage under Capt. Nixon, the master, and for leave to exhibit a
charge against the captain, for illegal judgments and cruelties in the
late expedition against many mariners and soldiers, and for de-
frauding the State. For so doing he threatens me with actions at
law and arrest. I am informed that actions are often so obstructed,
and if I be so troubled, I shall never get bail, the good of the
Commonwealth will be obstructed, and ofienders will go unpunished.
If protected according to law, I can gain the Commonwealth very
much money. I beg protection against all arrests at the captain or
master's hands, tiU the cause be heard and the Commonwealth satisfied,
and the injuries and wrongs to the seq^men and soldiers by the
inhuman tyranny and cruelty of the captain be righted. [| page.}

I was appointed physician to the fleet in the West Indian expedi-
tion, and diligently attended all, whether officers or seamen, who
desired my advice, either on board the Swiftsure or any other ship
in the fleet, on advertisement from their surgeons. Since mj'
arriva;l I have fallen sick in prison. I beg you to order my salary,
according to the establishment allowed a physician serving the
State on land, and pay it to Edw. Allen, my assignee. [| page.]
196. Report to the Protector on the petition of John King, mes-
senger of Council. For his services to the late Council of State,
they bought him a house in Whitehall orchard, the repair of which
cost him 40Z. ; he was removed thence by Maidstone, your steward,
losing 3Sl. money and goods in the removal ; his salary is 3 years in
arrear, and he was dismissed without cause shown, for which he
craves allowance. We find that he was a deputy to the serjeant-at-
arms, and had John Kendrick's rooms in Whitehall, Kendrick
receiving 201. on quitting them ; that King spent 201. on the
lodgings ; that the steward, having urgent occasion for the rooms
for your family, removed him after several warnings ; that he was
paid his salary to 3 Feb. 1653-4, and any service he has done since
has been voluntary ; but that he has been a useful servant, has in-
curred danger, and suffered from Malignants, and therefore deserves
favour. [2 pages.]

199. Thos. Haynes to Lord . When I came from England, I
had lost 25L but was paid .300 guilders. I have sent moneys last
Lent to Mrs. Randew for her husband, who was starving at Maestricht,
for part of which they assigned me a bill on Lord Wentworth for
money lent him by Randew at Cologne. Please to get this paid. I
have Sir Chas. Cotterel's promise for the remainder.
I also beg payment of 2 years' board wages due to the late Mr.
Hind, to whom I often lent money, and who requested me on his
deathbed to pay his small debts, which I promised to do, and they
call on me for it ; but though Mr. Fox promises me money, he does
Eot pay it. I have now a year's board wages due to me. Let not
my compassion to my fellow-servants make me incapable of relieving
myself [1| paff-esJ]
200, 201. Wm. Jervis to the Protector. I can prove that the
Trustees for Sale of Delinquents' Estates have, contrary to their trust,
reprized upon several contracts above 50,000L ; and if their books
may be seized and I peruse them, I could prove a great deal more.
This should be done at once, if you and Council resolve to raise
the money on the said Trustees or otherwise.
I can also prove their frauds in selling estates at undervalues
when there were competitors for them, and when they ought to
have been sold at the box, and in selling them privately at lower
rates than were offered, if Commissioners may be appointed to
examine the case, send for books and papers, and imprison such as
stand in contempt.
P.S. — I can also prove that they allowed leases and pretended
leases on most estates sold by them, which were returned by the
surveyors, though they were not claimed, and allowed according to
the directions of the Act for Sale, whereby they have sold 40,000L
or 50,OOOZ. a year as in reversion, which they were bound to have
sold in possession. [1| pages ; 2 papers.]
202, 203. Request by Jervis that 13 persons named, of
COS. Gloucester, Essex, Somerset, Sussex, and Dorset, and of
London and Westminster, may be a committee to examine the case,
with such others as his Highness thinks fit, the quorum not to
exceed 3. [f pages, 2 copies,]

Dover Road. 208. Case of Mrs. Marsh, widow of Mr. Marsh, postmaster on the
Dover Road. Petitioned his Highness for her husband's place, and
for the year's arrears due to him at Midsummer last, which petition
was referred to Council, and from them to a committee, where it
still remains.
The rest of those postmasters also petitioned his Highness, and
claim other privileges, coming in by purchase at first, and received
their salary quarterly from the Navy Office, their post being
outlandish, but they, like Mrs. Marsh, have now arrears due.
Notwithstanding former orders in the late King's time, many
persons going under the name of hackneymen daily furnish persons
with horses, and ride post with horses and guides without order,
whereby the postmasters are much discouraged, being at great charge
in keeping horses and servants, and sometimes at a greater expense
than their salaries amount to.
Motion is therefore made for consideration of both cases, and of
the annexed certificate and order, made to settle and pay them their
salaries forthwith. [1 page.] Annexing,
208. I. Certificate by Edw. Pashlotv, mayor, and the jurates and
inhabitants of Gravesend and Milton, that Arthur White,
deputy-postmaster there, has officiated 8 years with
diligence, and kept c/b sufficient number of horses and
servants ; yet divers hackneymen in the town send horses
and guides with all manner of outlandish persons, which
is a great discouragement to White <tnd the rest of the
posts upon the roads to Dover, and a great prejudice to the
Commonwealth, as many dangerous and disaffected
persons have and still may be guided by such persons into
private byivays, and thereby travel the country unknown.
With note by White that from 12 Sept 1651 to 7 Nov.
1653, he has carried 190 by land, and since he has been
postmaster, he has lost 1301. in horse flesh. [1^ pages,

Jan. 1. 1. Petition of Mich. Measy to Council. I and the late Hugh
Lewis, searcher at Bristol, have for divers years at great charge
prosecuted Bristol merchants on informations, for unlawful export of
calf-skins, and they have indirectly tried to stop our proceedings,
prejudiced the Commonwealth, and ruined their prosecutors, outing
from his place Lewis, who has left a widow and 5 children ready to
perish, and troubling me at the Committee for Indemnity, &c. They
now endeavour to supersede the proceedings in the Exchequer, which
they think are likely to go against them. I beg you to transmit
the business to the Exchequer, that it may appear what is due from
them to the State, and that I may receive what cannot justly be
denied me. [1 page.^ Annexing,
1. I, Arguments on the case, showing that the merchants endeavour
to export ivithout payment of custom, and boast of their

proceeded. [1 page.]

[Jan. 2.] 8. Petition of John Hamilton of Hurworth-on-Tees, Durham, to
the Protector. On summons, I appeared before the Committee for
ejecting Scandalous Ministers, fee, in the 4 northern counties, begging
a copy of the injunction against me, and leave to bring in witnesses,
which was refused, and I had to make a verbal answer. The
articles were for frivolous words in ordinary discourse on the late
war, 1648-1650. I begged 4 hours' time for an answer, urging the
danger of examining on oath on words spoken so many years ago,
and pleading the Act of Oblivion, but all was rejected, and I was
voted out of my rectory by 5 Commissioners named. Next day, I
begged a copy of the charge, depositions, and sentence, that I might
appeal to you, but they were refused, " to the great admiration of
all that hear of such strange proceedings."
I beg an order to the judges of assize to be held at Durham this
August 1655, or to the justices of peace, to call on the said Com-
missioners to justify their proceedings and to suspend the ejection,
if the refusal of a copy of the charge, &c., is illegal. With order,
signed by the Protector, that the petition be showed to the 5 Com-
missioners named, and that they report their proceedings to
to Council. [1 sheet] Annexing,

Council. Hamilton was summoned before us, not merely
for words, but for gross scandal. We considered ourselves
judges about giving copies of the articles, and refused them,
because they gave the year, but not the day, and therefore
we knew no negative could be proved. We thought he
only wished to delay his ejectment, having forcibly thrown
oui one who was settled by Act of Parliament, and had a
suit pending about it at Durham assizes. His carriage
to us ivas reproachful and insolent, and he pleaded the

Jan. 4. 16. Petition of the Governor, Associates, and Fellowship of the
Eastland merchants to the Protector. We cannot express due
acknowledgment of the favour we have lately enjoyed, by your
unparalleUed action in recovering 22 full laden ships detained in
Denmark, by which many who had else been ruined will record to
posterity the interposition of so great wisdom in rescuing their
goods out of unjust hands, and removing obstructions in trade for
the universal good of the nation.
We now address you for further improvement of the trade into
the Baltic seas, which, though formerly regarded with extraordinary
favour, has lately suffered for want of good regulation ; since the
irregularity or obstinacy of any one of the traders (which we have
no power to remedy) renders the exactest course we can take
inefl'ectual, so that a licentious and confused kind of commerce is
now exercised, according to humour or private interest, without
respect to the public, and thus the trade is reduced very low.
We beg your assent to and confirmation of our former powers, or
such other regulations as may enable us to support and advance the
trade, and to regain the privileges in foreign parts which have been
purchased with great care and trouble, and are now totally lost.
We think the presence here of the Swedish Ambassador may facili-
tate our redress. We enclose our former articles, which should be
renewed. [1 ^:>a5'e.] Annexing,
16. I. Representation of the Eastland merchants to the Protector,

answer to your letter of Oct. 11, concerning the recovery of part of

with. Council notes your great care in prosecuting your instructions
thereon, and the difiiculties you suggest therein. On the whole,
they incline for the settling of the matter in the Exchequer Court,
which wiU be set up in Scotland as in England, restricting them to
settling matters concerning parts of the revenue made away by King
James and the last King contrary to law, and to profits belonging to
bishops or any part of the hierarchy unduly alienated. But as we
have not here a copy of the Act of Parliament alluded to in yours,
we refer it to you to prepare the draft of an Ordinance to set up the
said court in the best way, and report it, with a copy of the Act ;
also to expedite the settlement of the receipt of Exchequer.
Approved 9 Jan. [J. 76, pp. 461-2.]
24. Statement that by Act of April 1653, the fees for Probate of
Wills go to the Treasury, after paying necessary officers ; that
there are more than 21 clerks who have very large fees, by a table
made in June 1653, and a registrar with fees of 2,000?. a year, who
takes the place of an actuary at 300?. ; that half the number of
officers might do the work. Suggestion whether his Highness
will commit it to some well meriting persons, who shall pay him
one-third of the fees now allowed, and the rest of the fees go to the
officers. [I page."]
25. Proceedings for better regulating wills and administrations, so
as to ease the people, augment the Treasury, &c. On several petitions
108 DOMESTIC
1655-6. ^«^- CXXIII.
Jan. 9. to members of the last Parliament it was their opinion that there
•was no better way than the following : — -
(1.) To nominate commissioners and registrars or clerks in every
county, being public notaries, to receive the wills, preserving
the originals with the ancient records, and to perform their
office, so that searches may be made and caveats entered,
and to cause the said administrations, wills, and inven-
tories to be fairly engrossed, and sent together with the
fees to some place in London appointed by the Lords
Commissioners, to be there examined by two persons elected
by them, sealed, and returned without delay.
AH moneys will thus be paid at one place in London, and a
weekly account rendered to the Treasury. If settled in a
provincial way, as at York, Exeter, and London, there wiU
be trouble and charge in bringing the money to London
after it is raised.
Or should all wills, &c., still continue to be sent to London,
two-thirds are sent by attorneys, who will not take less
than 40s. or 50s., commonly as much more as the fees come
to, which the people cannot avoid.
(2.) On any legacy being refused to be paid by an administrator,
the legatee may enter suit in the registrar's ofHce of that
county. The registrar shall send a breviate to a proctor
to draw up articles, and a monition under seal to the
party principal, to appear before the Commissioners, and
be examined by the registrar, who is also to examine all
other witnesses within three months, and transmit their
answers, &c., to the judges for Probate of Wills, for publi-
cation and sentence without appeal.
Thus little trouble will arise to the parties on either side,
their witnesses being examined in their own county ; there
will be little bribery and no delay, and the cost to the
parties less than now.
(3.) Let coercive power be appointed instead of excommunication,
whether by distress or sequestration, to commence from
the time of the extirpation of bishops. Thereby all may
be brought in, as accounts, letters of tutelship, &c., that
children in their minority may be provided for. The
revenue, now 8,000^ or 9,O00L a year, would soon yield |-
more. Should licenses be granted again for marriages, which
now are acted after a strange manner, — howsoever causes
for marriages, divorcements, and tithes may be granted,
which is the most legal way for proceedings thereon, — it
would augment the Treasury as much more as the profit now
made.
All which may be easily regulated if the clerks appointed to
receive wills from every county, and to perfect them here,
be sent down into every county to perfect them there, and
if two examiners be appointed here in London to receive
the wills with the fees, and to see they are made right, the
seal being ready to seal them.

There is little alteration here set down from the way that

Jan. 9. 26. Jas. Morley to Lord Deputy Fleetwood. I am very trouble-
some, but my case is sad, if not remediless, unless you help me. My
petition, which I hear is now in your hands, will state my case, and
I will make no alteration for fear of delay [See 2 Jan. 1655-6]. But
I believe Newton on Ouse, forfeited as my brother's, was my father's,
by a 50 years' lease, still in being, and the administrator will pro-
bably recover it in the Exchequer ; therefore the Protector would
only grant me the reversion of that and ISl. a year, entailed on Nor-
manby, co. York, but I would have the patent full for the whole
estate, that I may make better terms with Col. Medford, my father's
administrator, and a subtle man. The thing if gained wiU not com-
pensate my charges, besides 11 voyages to England about it. [1 page.
Copy sent enclosed to Geo. Hewett.]
Jan. -i-g-. 27. Col. K. W. to [Sec. Nicholas]. My letters have been sent
Calais. by Zealand. I have yours of the 4th, and shall expect no more here,
though as yet I hear nothing of my pass. If it come not within a
few days, I shall try and go without it. I hear from England that
while others enjoyed their Christmas with mirth and freedom, Crom-
well doubled his guards of horse and foot, on either real or
pretended fears of the Anabaptists, who have been active and bold
in feeling the pulse of several officers of the army. Some say (but
it is thought a fable) that they have lately tampered with his
barber to make short work with him, but they certainly hope to
destroy him by prayer, which (as they say) was the way they raised
him. Simpson, with one or two other fierce Levites, and a cornet
of Harrison's regiment, are made prisoners on this account.
LudloWj after his close imprisonment at Beaumaris, was brought
before Council on the charge of not acknowledging the present
power ; he refuses to give bond to be faithful to it, yet he is set at
liberty, and has leave to go about the country, to ensnare him (as is
believed). When Cromwell, lest he should disturb him during his
absence in Scotland, made him Lieutenant-General of the Irish horse,
a friend called to congratulate him, when his reply was that he
must needs go whom the devil drives ; so you see the jealousy
between them.
The poor orthodox clergy have passed a Sunday in silence ; the
old Bishop of Armagh has been with Cromwell, but to little purpose,
though he had some Court holy-water, a dinner, and a confirmation
of church leases in Ireland.
It is said Cromwell will re-establish the Salters' Hall Committee
to force prisoners for debt to satisfy their engagements by sale of
their estates. It has been suppressed for some abuses this year or
two. When it has new powers, the design will be to purchase
debtors' lands at easy rates for Cromwell, by means of Nowell, a
scrivener. I believe this because some King's Bench prisoners are
severely dealt with, and it is said the Earl of Kildare is put amongst
the common sort in that house.
Those gentlemen taken coming from mass at the Venetian
Ambassador's house, and sent prisoners to Hicks' Hall, were many

of them released on security, by the Lieutenant of the Tower, who
went thither next day.
The Straits' fleet is making ready, but the best ships are to be
sheathed, so that it will be 6 weeks before they can put to sea. Col.
Montague, one of the Council, is to have equal power with Blake
for the Straits. Several are nominated, but none decided on for the
West India command. Six small vessels are building to ply about
Dunkirk and Flanders, and one is building which will carry at least
90 guns.
P.S.— A son of Col. Marsh who lately came from England and lives
with Mr. Loving, has brought a large M.S. of all the proceedings of
the last King's murder, wherein is much that you have never seen.
Mr. Loving may now be in your parts, and you may like a transcript
of the book. Endorsed. Received ^ Feb. [1 1 pages.']
Jan. 1^. 28. E. N. [Sec. Nicholas] to Mr. Jane, Englishman, Youffrou
Cologne. Street, Hague. I have yours of the 18th. I wonder what those
that disUke the King's proceedings would have him do, as affairs
now stand between France and Cromwell. They are so mad against
some that they would rather the King's business should miscarry
than prosper in such hands. I think it were much better for the
King to be restored by the King of Spain than the King of France,
holding a real and cordial alliance with Spain much more for the
advantage of England than the friendship of France, which has
always been pernicious.
I assure you (but take not notice of it from me) that the Levellers
have had their envoys in Spain, and have an agency in Flanders.
I think it is by their hypocritical dealing that the King of Spain
has been induced to move with so slow a pace in the war against
Cromwell, wherein the Spaniard will soon find himself grossly
abused, and Don Alonso will be doubly cosened. Though the
Spaniards are generally great assisters of monarchy, yet they prefer
England as a republic, because it is so contrary to the nature of the
English that it would keep them embroiled in perpetual divisions.
"When the King of Spain prosecutes the war against Cromwell
vigorously, he will find it his interest to embrace the King's righteous
quarrel, but till open war, he will not much heed what the King says
about his interest in England. He is the more backward because
he thinks the King too much inclined to France.
I hope the Princess Eoyal's journey will be more to her content
than some imagine. I am glad the agreement between the two
princesses [Princess Royal and Princess Dowager of Orange] is so
well settled. Mr. Boswell is gone as one of the Princess's train. I
marvel how he got means to fit himself for the journey. He may
at Paris be allowed to wait on the Duke of Gloucester, in
Mr. Griflath's absence. My Lord Lieutenant [Ormond] is expected
next week. [2 pages.}

authority in Scotland, hut live peaceably, endeavour that his
children and family do the same, and report to the officer

Council of Scotland.

We are all deeply concerned in the incommodities from the weirs
in the rivers Wye and Lugg, and have subscribed petitions and
reasons annexed, showing the hindrance to trade and fishing, and
the benefits that will accrue by speedy and vigorous redress. We
beg an order for destroying the weirs, and making the rivers
portable. With reference, 9 June 1654, to Council. [1 page.]
Annexing,
33. I. Reasons for making the Wye and Lugg portable : —
(1.) That produce and manufactures may be trans-
ported, and exchanged for money which is very scarce.
(2.) That hundreds of fishermen m.ight be employed if
the weirs and engines, which taJce all and at all times,
were removed, as thereby the fishing is almost lost.
The work can he proved feasible : —
1. From the judgment of the Commissioners for hewers,
on which the weirs were ordered by Queen Elizabeth
and King James to be pulled down, though this was
superseded by the influence of the Earl of Worcester
and other powerful persons.
2. From, the nature of the rivers, which are or may he
made 4 feet deep in the shallowest parts, and thus
would carry large vessels.
3. Large boats often sail from weir to weir, and then
have to unlade vnto boats on the other side.
4. The country has for years presented the weirs as a
nuisance at the assizes, and to the late Parliament,
though it came not to effect, although it passed the
Committee of Obstructions for making rivers
portable, [f page ; also I. 92, No. 84.]

Jan. 12. 35. Petition of the free carmen of London to the Protector. We
have long had legal interests in car-rooms, which at our deaths were
accounted assets, and have ever been enjoyed by our wives and
children. Yet we were subject as other freemen to the city magis-
trates tiU 22 Elizabeth, when we were put by the city under the
government of theWoodmongers' Company, and in 28 Elizabeth under
Christ's Hospital ; but in 3 James, we were transferred back to the
Woodmongers, who gave bond to pay 1501. to Christ's Hospital,
which has ever since been exacted from the carmen ; and then by
sinister means the Woodmongers procured our incorporation with
them.
In 21 James, they procured a Star Chamber decree that the car-
rooms, which were then 417 in the city and suburbs, should not be
our property, but should be disposed of by them. They have dis-
possessed many free carmen out of their car-rooms, have sold some,
taken some from widows and orphans, and raised taxes on car-rooms
of lOs. and 20s. each.
" In 1649 we presented our grievances to the Long Parliament, who
appointed a Committee, which after several days' hearing reported
that we should be distinct from the Woodmongers ; and an Act was
prepared and twice read, ordering restitution of our car-rooms, but

Parliament was dissolved before the third reading. The matter was
referred by the next Parliament to the Committee for Trade, who
after many hearings agreed to the resolution for separation of the
companies. Yet the Woodmongers proceed in their tyranny and
oppression, arresting some of us and threatening others. We beg
relief. With reference thereon to Council. [1 pa^e. 12 signatures,

a year. I had a daughter by my wife, but in June 1654, her mother
and Joan Ewer, her grandmother, conveyed her away without cause,
and keep her so secretly that I cannot discover where she is ; they
pretend my wife has had another child, but will not say whether
male or female, so that a suppositious child may be made my heir,
and my estate wasted by the claims of this pretended child.
I beg an order to compel Mary Turner and the other confederates
to declare where my wife and the child are, and to prove the birth
of the other child'-' on oath. With reference thereon to Council,

Whitehall. Council has considered yours of 6 Nov. about the continuance of the
hangings and other things now in service of the Council there, and
has received an account of them from Clement Kinnersley. They
approve that the goods in service with the Council and with Gen.
Monk at Dalkeith be continued; but hearing that besides those
hangings and the 12 pieces of hangings brought hither, there are
other pieces to a great number and value, and also much plate and
other goods belonging to the late King which are concealed there,
they have directed Kirmersley to find out the same. For this he has

Jan. 17. 42. Petition of Cuthbert Studholme, and 6 other aldermen and
well affected citizens of Carlisle, to the Protector. We rejoice in
your unwearied endeavours to settle the peace of the nation, and
especially in your late declaration, disabling Malignants from bearing
office in Church or State.
Our city is governed by a mayor, 11 aldermen, and 24 citizens.
All the aldermen, except Rich. Barwis, having served against
Parliament before 1647, were ejected, and some of the most active
citizens ; but the rest were retained, in hopes that they would change
their principles, or at least comply outwardly.
But since the Act of Oblivion, Peter Norman has animated the
Malignants, and they elected him mayor in 1654, and again for this
year, since which our efforts for the public good have been fruitless.
We beg that all the disaffected may be discharged, and that no pre-
judice may accrue to our charter for want of the full number. With
reference to Council 16 Jan. 1655-6. [1 sheet.l Annexing,

the former augmentations are paid, which prejudices others since
granted.
(2.) Augmentations formerly granted, but discontinued by the
departure of the ministers, or for want of reviving them according to
the Act, which the trustees have reviewed, and have continued
those expressed in the list, the ministers being first approved.
(3.) Such augmentations as, on addresses from various places, they
have granted to the ministers, being first approved as aforesaid,
but which cannot be paid without Council's approval.
The Committee finds that many have been approved by particular
orders, and sees no cause to disallow them, and therefore advises
that such as are reduced or suspended, and not already approved,
be approved. That those suspended in the list be suspended, and
the rest approved, and that the Trustees cause them to be paid.

you should write too ; he will be glad that you hope to use his
horses, for he and his partners were despairing of selling them in
this general depression of trade. The worthy person I offered you
in my last, Rich. Ropton (call him Kemp in your cypher), is im-
patient to know your mind. We seldom find in a volunteer such a
concurrence of requisites, viz., fidelity, credit, courage, discretion,
and a purse. When your pleasure arrives, he will go for England
to know the condition of your estate there, that you may take
possession as soon as your tenant Cromwell gives up his lease,
which will soon be eflTected. I am glad the King approves young
Ant. Rungerford ; I hope he is at London by this. I will enquire
about what you desire, especially the Navy. I hear from one whose
brother is a prime officer in the Navy that 80 ships are preparing
for the Straits and Jamaica, but I do not think they are meant for
Jamaica, because none are sheathed. Penn, Blake, and Sir Geo.
Ayscue are nominated the 3 admirals. The Levellers are nothing
now, at least their party is not mentioned by any. Ask Albert
whether Sir Geo. Ayscue might not befriend your suit, for I have
heard that Ayscue began to have a sense that he had wronged you,
and might be won to do satisfaction, and if so, he should be
instructed to be of our council against next term. Albert might
find a way, by Mart. Clifford or some other, to feel his pulse.
Thanks for your paying Mr. Booth. I cannot help troubling you,
having never before been in so sad a condition. I am glad you are
purging your family from false persons. If I could get loose from

in place of him you have dismissed, but you have many more
worthy. Your news of Skippon is very welcome. I wish the

Queen's College. 3 Pigeons, Paul's Churchyard, London. There is not much college
news. The election for Tabarders is still deferred, though the fellows
courted the Provost, but he will not give way till they consent for a
third chaplain. T. B. is the main opposer ; he would not believe
Lamplugh, who presented your service to him ; I believe Lamplugh
will yet continue, though some bandy against him. Mr. Cartwright
has a parsonage in London, and Mr. Gregory in Shropshire. There
will be no election of fellows till Sir Ellis is fit, though some say he
shall never be a candidate at the same election with me. For any
secrets you write me, I will have a stronger padlock on my lips than
the Venetian husbands tie upon their wives.

Pres. Lawrence to Col. John Bingham, Governor of Guernsey. His
Highness received some papers from Haviland and De La Marsh,
as deputies from Guernsey, desiring that the campart and other State
dues may be remitted ; that Castle Cornet may be demolished ; that
the keeping of the isle may be confided to the inhabitants ; that
they may receive its public revenue, and dispose of it to some public
ends ; that licence to transport goods from England to the isle may
be dispensed by the bailiffs and jurates ; and that the appeals from
Guernsey and Jersey, heretofore made to the Kings and Queens of
England, may not come hither, but be determined by the bailiffs and
jurates, each for the other reciprocally. He referred the case to
Council, who on consideration are so far from countenancing the
same, that they consider some of them dangerous to the isle and to
this Government. You are to tell the well affected of the isle that,
if they have anything to offer for its advantage and safety, we
shall be ready to hear and consider it, when tendered in a due
way. Also, that his Highness has appointed Peter de Beauvoir
De Granges to be bailiff, on good information of his ability and
integrity. You are also to enquire the grounds and rise of the above
proposals. Written on an order of 18 Nov. last. [/. 76, p. 487.]
59. John Weald to Eev. Hugh Peters, Whitehall. Thanks for your
manifold courtesies. There are here 12 ships, but the greatest want is
men. We have 100, but should soon have our number if volunteers

minister, either Dan. Pell, his former one, or some able, honest man.
I wish we had Mr. Vincent, but he will be fitter for one of the
greatest ships ; he is a godly man and an exemplary good liver, and
would act as well with the sword in his hand as the Word in his
mouth. His leaving the university, and refusing good places ashore
for this expedition's sake will be a motive to you to consider him.
You were once troubled with the remissness of university men, but
his forwardness would encourage others.
Pray favour the bearer, Mr. Samson. I know many ministers,
but few such. Try him in Whitehall, He was heard with great
applause at James's. God direct you so that the Gospel may be

English saltpetre from its being only singly refined, but the partners

Tower proof was sold at 4<l. a barrel, and amounted to 300 barrels.
Powder sent in as overplus upon the English saltpetre was 10 tons, or
300 barrels, but doubts, until he examines his accounts, whether it was
overplus, as they were behind in their contracts. Molyns sometimes
delivered powder as so much wrought from the saltpetre received
from the State, and had debentures for it. From 27 Aug. to 6 Dec.
1653, they received 7 or 8 tons of saltpetre, and delivered 360 barrels

Jan. 23. 64. Petition of Capt. Henry Thornton, and Edward King, mer-
chant of London, to the Protector. Thornton, by petition, 4 April
1655, discovered his Highness's interest in land called King's Sedg-
moor, CO. Somerset, to which Sir Cornelius Vermuyden pretends a title
by patent of the late King, gTanted him for 12,000i. alleged to be
paid into the Exchequer, although only 6,000?. was paid. The peti-
tioner was referred to the Commissioners of the Treasury, and we
attended them at great charge and loss of time, and can prove that
the patent was obtained on a fraudulent contract with the late
Lord Treasurer Weston, and managed to the late King's prejudice
by Sir Rob. Heath, then Attorney- General, to whom Vermuyden
agreed to pay \ value. The said Commissioners had no power to
remand the evidences concerning the estate, and some being taken
off the file in the Exchequer, and others embezzled out of the Tower,

Lord Lambert and General Rob. Blake, Lords Warden of the Cinque

It has been represented to Council that the multitude of freemen of
the vulgar sort in your town are so increased that, in election of
public officers, they, without due regard to the business, sway all
matters wherein they concern themselves, and by their wilful car-
riage, hinder the good government of the town, and create riots at
election time. To prevent this, in a place of so much concern.
Council has referred the settlement of the town to us. We decree
therefore that the number of the common council, now exceeding
24, be allowed to return to 24, by electing no new members, and
when it falls short of that number, that you elect from the discreetest
free Commons as hitherto; and that the mayor, and jurates,
and common councillors repair to the common assembly, as well
in Clement's Church as in your Common Hall, where all elections,
decrees, orders, and business shall be done by most voices only of
you so assembled, wherein no common freeman shall have power
to intermeddle, save only to hear and see, and in convenient time
to make private motions of complaints of what concerns them in
particular. You ai-e to make known this letter at your next public
meeting, and to require in our name that it be obeyed, at the
peril of those who refuse. [1. 76, i^P- 496, 497.]

Having lately resided and traded in Spain, since my return, I deli-

and for payment, on 6 Nov. 1654, he assigned to me some silver and
cochineal on board the Samson, Salvador, &c., which were seized
and brought in, and his claim thereto proved.
As such transfers are always held good among merchants, and cannot
well be denied for the upholding of trade, and as the assignment

I beg the benefit of the assignment, and of Goldsmith's right to the

Jan. 31. 83. Petition of the well-affected inhabitants of Wolverhampton,
CO. Stafford, to the Protector. Theirs is a market town, and the
largest in the county, and was' heretofore collegiate, and had a dean
and 7 prebends ; the parish has 4,000 communicants and 3 chapels,
one 5 miles from the town. On the dissolution of the Dean and
Chapter, the Committee for Plundered Ministers granted 1001. a year
to the minister from Col. Levison's sequestration, and 501. to the
assistant, who also had 26L formerly belonging to the sexton ;
Levison being dead, the sequestration is taken off, the estate coming
to his heir and widow, and there is no maintenance for the ministers.
The town swarms with Papists ; 20 gentry families being recusants
draw many to Popery, and last summer they made such high
riots that a whole troop of horse was required to settle them.
The only church property left in the county is tithes, fee farm
rents, and some cottages, &c., total value 144L 2s. Qd., less by
311. l7s. 6d than formerly allowed. Beg a grant thereof to their
minister, Ambrose Sparry, and his assistant. Rich. Cleyton, who
have been very useful to them. Signed by John Granger and

probation of Ministers have now ordered his payment with
charges, but the sequestrators have only in hand 17?. 9s. 2d.
balance, and 74?. 5s. detained because of the contest about

58. Order — on report from the Admiralty Judges, praying a
declaration what kind of security, on issuing letters of reprisal, shall
be construed as sufficient to indemnify them against any dubious
interpretation of the 14th Article of the late peace between England
and France — that the security shall be sufficient when the persons
bound can answer the sums for which the securities are bound.
Annexing,
87. Report alluded to. The article of the Treaty says that if
the Admiralty Judges receive insufficient security of the
commanders of ships, they are personally to answer for
wrongs done.
In the warrants for issuing letters of reprisal to the
sons and executors of Sir Peter Richaut, and to Nath.
Mawes and others against the Spaniard, it is provided
that those who sue for them shall name sureties, to he
allowed by the Admiralty Comfnissioners. On 8 Jan.
1665-6 the order of his Highness and Council is, that the
Admiralty Judges issue letters of reprisal against Spain
on such security as they find sufficient.
Wow as it is very difficult to know the sufficiency of
any security, on account of concealed debts, frauds,
sudden losses, &c., and as in case of insufficient security
tlie Admiralty Judges are so dangerously liable to the
damages, they beg to know what is to be considered suffi-
cient or insufficient security. Doctors' Commons, 18 Jan.

9. Capt. Hen. Hatsell to the Admiralty Commissioners. On yours
of Jan. 29, 1 sent warrants to the constables of the hundreds of
Exminster, Tinnbridge, and Wenford, to warn all the seamen there
to appear at Newton Abbot on 23 Jan., but although I expected 500,
there being nearly 1,000 in those places, not 100 appeared, and
many of them were old and unfit, so I could only impress 28, and
then sent out special warrants for apprehending such as refused to
appear. I then went to Totness, where the hundreds of Haytor and
Coleridge were appointed to be, but so few came that I could only
impress 50 there, and 30 at Kingsbridge, from Stanborow hundred,
16 more being brought in by special warrant. To-day I impressed
44 at Plymton, from Ermington and Plymton hundreds, and to-
morrow I have appointed those of the hundred of Eoborow to appear
at Plymouth, and will send the issue of the day's work.
Hearing when at Newton Abbot and Totness that several men
were gone to Plymouth, to enter the frigates that were to ply near
the channel, I sent directions to the captains to enter all that offered
themselves, and take up all they met. I sent a boat by night to
impress those that hid themselves, or had entered other ships, and
thus obtained 35 more. Further details. [2| pages.]
10. Capt. Hen. Hatsell to Robt. Blackbome. I have sent the
Commissioners an account of my proceedings in impressing men, and
send you copies of my warrants to the constables of the several
hundreds, as also of some special warrants, that you may see I have
not stretched the power given me. I directed the men obtained
eastward and near Dartmouth to be taken to Capt. Pley, with whom
I have left tickets to be filled up by him. I thought of riding over
to Barnstaple and those parts, to get what men I can, but as business
will only allow me to be absent a few days, move the Commissioners
to send a press warrant to Lionel Beacher at Bideford, and another
to Jno. Tooker at Barnstaple ; so that when there, I may order the
men taken by special warrant to be brought before them, to receive
imprest and conduct money, and let a frigate be ordered there
to receive them, or my endeavours may prove fruitless, by ships
bound to the Isle of May and Newfoundland taking them.

The frigates taken by the Nightingale and Fagon are newly-
built, and if fitted, would be serviceable in the fleet, or in attending
on larger frigates on the coast of Galicia, where the Spaniard has a
good advantage by fishing. The other Brest man-of-war is fit to
receive a captain ; if you employ Capt. Taylor, I desire a press
warrant for him, so that if the constables are remiss in their duty, in
those parishes where there are many seamen, I may send him to
quicken them and give assistance.
I hear the Brest pirates have free recourse to that place ; speak to
Mr. Secretary about it, and ask whether some of our frigates may
not go into that harbour to destroy them, or into any other port in
France. Swart and two others have lately taken 3 veseels off
Plymouth, Bristol, and Barnstaple. General Desborow is expected
to-morrow night, and to proceed to Exeter on Monday. [3 pages.'\
11. Thos. Johnson and Alex. Blowers, bailiffs, to the Admiralty
Commissioners. Tour complaint is not true. When Capt. Ames's
officers came to me, Johnson, I went with them, and charged
the constables, and never called my partner for fear of the seamen
suspecting us ; the disturbance arose by the captain's men carrying
themselves in such a hostile manner, standing in divers parts of the
town, and railing against the bailiffs and townsmen. One of them
striking a seaman with his sword, he struck him, and another took
away his sword, but the affair happening a mile out of town, beyond
our jurisdiction, we could not secure the offenders ; they say that
they were forced to withdraw without their impressed men, but
they took away five named. [1 pcige.^
12. Capt. Robt. Mackey, to the Admiralty Commissioners. I
T must report the affection of the bailiffs and constables of South-
wold. I came there privately at 7 p.m., with only one other, and
being informed that there were 100 able seamen to be spared, I
applied to George Warren, one of the bailiffs, whom I found in an
ale house with several seamen ; he promised his assistance in im-
pressing them, but stayed away 2 hours, and spent another in fetching
his partner, so that before the constables could or would assist me,
40 young and able seamen were seen going over the bridge, 12 up
the river in a boat, and divers others in several other boats, so
that my labour and diligence for 2 days resulted in getting only
one man.
On the 25th I applied to Capt. Brewster, then sitting at Blith-
borough with his fellow justices, who assisted with his troop of
horse, and having surrounded the town, repaired to bailiff Warren ;
he sent to the constables to assist, but they deferred so long that
all the seamen hid themselves, although when they came to town,
60 were in sight. One of the constables, in contempt and derision,
arrested one of the sentinels, and threatened to knock him down
if he resisted. I have procured 80 men and put them on board the
Pembroke, and as there are some more northward, I will send out
once more, although they are hard to come at. [1 fage^

of tlie business between the army and the fleet, concerns only the
foot soldiers, the old horse amounting to ^ of the foot that remain,
but they will be of little use to it after payment of expenses. The
discovery of the goods brought over by Halsey was by the villainy
of his servant, who is now in Dover, to overlook Cromwell's business.
Arm^orer's man, who is now in the Tower, is suspected to be
little better. Do not trust them in future. Ask Kemp to send me
a light riding hat. Your letters are ready and shall be sent when
our fleet is gone, for there is not a seaman to be found but is sent
thither. Do not tell this to the master who brings my goods, lest
it cause delay. I hope you have seen Sir K. Dighy, Cromwell's
confidant.
After Easter the terms are to be kept in the particular counties.
The field officers of England, Scotland, and Ireland are to meet at
Whitehall 16 March. I have written twice to Jack Trethewy, but
will not write again till I have acknowledgments, for I distrust
Read's discretion, if not his honesty. The enclosed is for Blake,

Feb. ■^. 14. Sec. Nicholas to Jos. Jane. Let the money which Mr. Bridg-
Coiogne. man is to receive for me remain in his hands a week, when I can
better direct its disposal, for by that time it is possible / may be
able to judge which day we may remove from hence and whither,
for we are not out of hope now that the King of Spain is resolved
to prosecute the war against Cromwell, hut that he may find it his
interest to embrace his Majesty's just quarrel ; therefore let Bridg-
man know that you will write when you have heard from your
friend, and tell me what he says about it, and what the parcel is
that is come to Rotterdam for me. Still enquire after a trusty

I do not believe that Mr. O'Neale will leave Holland till the Lady
Stanhope goes for France, whatever he says to you, for he finds
great ease in remaining here at a good table, and no cost to him.
You wUl find he is like his name, subtle.
The King of Spain is resolved to arm all he can against Cromwell,
and has ordered letters of marque against the English, but whatever
may be said, I assure you nothing has been wanting in the King's
applications to the King of Sjjain, and 413,* did with much
prudence what was com,manded him, and all that was requisite.
Nothing will prove so prejudicial both to the King and the King
of Spain, as the delay used by the latter in making a firm coalition
with our master, for till that is done and declared to be very cordial,
the King's friends will not appear for his Majesty ; but if the
Kinfig of Spain declares for his cause, it might prove a fatal conjunc-
ture for the villains in England ; for the fleet, seeing ports open
which might serve them in their loyalty, would (at least some of
them) strive to return to their obedience, being tired with the
insupportable servitude of the present usurpers.

I hear Cromwell has promised the King of Sweden 30 good ships
towards reducing Dantzic, and therefore the Swedes would not
permit that town to be comprehended in the late treaty with
Brandenburg. I hear that Cromwell, being solicited both by Nieu-
port and the Venetian ambassador to make peace with Spain, said he
would never do it unless he might have free trade in the West Indies,
and some ports there to secure that commerce, which the King of
Spain will rather hazard his crown than yield to. Most of the
King of Spain's army in Flanders marched last week under the
Prince of Ligny towards Mons. [2 pages ; the italics are in cypher,

wrote you of the arrival of the Pembroke to take in the impressed
men, and put 90 on board, and would have stayed her, but she
wanted provisions ; hearing, however, that there were two of the
enemies' frigates, of 6 or 8 guns each, at anchor off Parkfield, I sent
her and Capt. Thompson to endeavour to take them, but they have
not yet returned. I am getting men daily, and have 10 more to
put on board. Southwold was beset by Col. Brewster's troop, but
the officers of the town were so base that they could not get a man ;
as fast as our people searched one part of the town, they got into
the other, although they searched with candles. I am sending
warrants to the constables in the hundreds to apprehend the sea-
men who were pressed, and have run away with the State's money,
as also to impress others, but the seamen are so afraid of being
sent to the West Indies that they say they would as soon be
hanged. I never saw men so hard to be obtained in my life.

been issued by Capt. Jefferies and his purser. I will write the Navy
Commissioners not to sign any more from the Nantwich until
further notice, or to have the matter settled by the Generals when at

your service, I have turned every stone to press him to undertake
it, but he says he has no power from, those that instructed him to
set the wheel going but on the King's approbation only ; but after
receipt of some letters from England, he will return thither, and use
your arguments and all his interest to get it undertaken as you
desire. We shall soon know what we may trust to. All must
approve what you urge of confidence and honoui', but a person who
has all along been the King's enemy must be assured that the past
will be forgiven, and the business effected by him esteemed loyalty ;
and as he is confident that his way is infallible, he insists on the
approval of the King, as the sole person that can absolve his former
errors, and have him esteemed honourable. If the undertaker is
pertinacious for the King's approbation, let him have it obliquely,
if not directly.
I cannot tell you how Seymour had that intimation about
Col. Talbot from my companion in the storm, but it is not
difiicult there to send by their keepers one to another, and

license for 800 skins at 12c?. a dozen. Hugh Lewis, on whom the
license devolved by Wm. Lewis' death, in his office as searcher at
Bristol, seized 68 dickers of tanned hides exported without leave,
by which the price of leather was so raised in Bristol that the shoe-
makers used horsehides. He was in London prosecuting them when
the late King's forces took Bristol ; the merchants complained
of him as a delinquent to the King, and he was plundered by Lord
Hopton's soldiers, and the merchants got Hopton's leave to import
powder, arms, and ammunition, instead of exporting calf skins.
When the city was reduced by Parliament, they complained of
Lewis as a delinquent to Parliament, and got his searcher's office

38. Major Wm. Burton to the Adirjjalty Commissioners. I wrote
you of the sending Capt. Tompson and the Pembroke to try and
take two of the enemies' frigates riding within 7 miles of the town ;
the former having gone to sea after them, and the latter being sent
to Holland by the General, I have no ship to put the pressed men into,
and am therefore compelled to keep them in prison ; 3 ships are
also waiting for a convoy.
I hear from Lowestoft that there are 5 men-of-war close by
the shore, which came within musket shot of the fort, but they
had no ammunition for the guns there. The people are afraid they will
come on shore and plunder the town ; a company should be sent to
be divided between there and Southwold, as also some powder and
shot, which may save many ships, for I fear they will come into the
roads and take some. [1 page.]
39. [Sec. Nicholas] to Jos. Jane. I cannot understand the
mistake of my cousin Nevill's sending you the parcel. I have not
heard from him these 8 months, and he wished me not to write to
him. I hope soon to tell Mr. Bridgman how to dispose of the
money. Do not let the good doctor know that it is for me, for then

Feb, -f^. Sir Edw. Hyde will have notice of it, and that may render hitn tlie
more slow in procuring the payment of a large sum which, by the
King's command, signified me hy Hyde above 2 years since, /
disbursed for his Majesty's service. I was promised by Hyde
repayment in 6 months, but / cannot to this day get it, so very kind
and real is Hyde to me to whom he professes so very great friendship,
and if he use all his oth&r friends as he doth me, he may chance _^nci
them not so very patient as I have been, who can judge of friendship
better than some' that talk more of it.
The compliment and ceremony used by the French at the
reception of the Princess Royal would have saddened me, had I seen
it, coming from those who have confederated with her father's
murderers, and made a league for the exclusion of her family, and
been so great contributors to the miseries of the 3 kingdoms, and the
ruin of the royal family ; but some think nothing ill done that the
French do, though there is scarce a war in Christendom in which
they have not had a hand, and been most active in the bloody wars
against Christians.
The rendezvous for Cromwell's first fleet was to be at Portsmouth
on the ^ of this month ; if those shallops and the land men are to
go, the rebels' design may be nearer than the Spaniard imagines.
It was a great mistake if, in the King's letter to the Princess
Dowager, he did not call her " ma cousine." It was done between
Hyde and Mr. Bennet, who is here his most intimate counsellor, and
some say destined to be secretary, which, whenever it be, he will be
such a tliorn in Hyde's flesh as will trouble him more than the gout ;
but I pray keep this to yourself. T am, I assure you, not only old
but very weary, and would not continue what I do but that 1 hold
it my duty, and fear lest, being called to Court as J have been
without seeking, and even against my wishes and prayers, God
should be offended if /should have refused to have served, or should
give over whiles any use is made of m,y poor service, though I am
used with neglect enough. Excuse this melancholy digression to
you, my good friend.
I should be glad if Rinswood were good friends with Beveninck,
who prefers the good of his country to his private ends or faction.
Tell me what resolutions are taken at the assembly of the States
about England, France, or Sweden. Has any servant of Nic.
Armorer's lately gone for England, and if so, who, when, by whom
sent, and on what business ? I suppose Mr. O'Neale can tell if any
such be sent. There is one such, called Bricton, that has discovered
many of those that were eng&ged in the last device in England.
Our oracle Watson (?) writes that letters of marque are not yet ,
issued from the Admiralty in Flanders, nor is any declaration
published against Cromwell and his fellow rebels, though orders
came a fortnight since from Madrid for arming against the English.
Some impediment makes the ministers in Flanders slow to withstand
Cromwell's designs, to the great prejudice of the King of Spain's
affairs. The English goods seized in Flanders are not yet exposed to
sale, but the Spaniard cannot long remain in this neutral posture ;
he must stand to his arms when the English fleet shall be at sea.

Feb. 11. 42. Capt. Eobt. Sansum to the Admiralty Commissioners. In
The Portsmouth, obedience to your commands, I went to Guernsey, and did my
bpit ea . utmost to impress seamen, but received much opposition from the
inhabitants ; and the bailiffs having called a court, it was resolved
not to permit any press to be made in the island, or to take any
notice of any order which interfered with their privileges, and some
took arms and rescued the men I had impressed. On this I informed
the Commander-in-Chief thereof, who advised me to desist, or much
mischief would be done. On this I went to Jersey, where I found
the Governor very willing to assist me, but the inhabitants were not,
and forced my men to take to a house for security ; had not the
Governor assisted them with a party of horse, who had to fire upon
the people, killing one and wounding several others, they would
have been destroyed. I only succeeded in pressing 50 men in both
islands. \l\pages^

Yarmouth to Lowestoft, it may save many a ship which
runs there for refuge. I will put them into an honest
man's hands till a company comes down. This town

Pres. Lawrence to Gens. Blake and Montague, generals of the
fleet. His Highness and Council hear that Thos. Browne, late
consul and agent at Tunis, was forced, on the late action at Tunis by
the fleet under Gen. Blake, to retire aboard the fleet, leaving behind
all his own and other men's property left in his charge at Tunis to
the depredation of the Turks, whereby he and his friends will sufier
great loss; they therefore desire you, on re-settliiig that affair, to
make the best possible provision for repairing the consul's sufferings
and damage, for restitution of the estates left behind, and for re-
establishment of him and his deputy as consul and agent. [I. 76,

duteous as have rendered him a great darling of Hyde's, and con-
sequently a great man in your good doctor's (?) opinion.
We believe .Cromwell's first fleet will be at sea next week. I
hear from France that there is no more talk of the Duke of York or
any other Englishman being urged to leave that kingdom, nor of
the Queen leaving Paris.
The news of the Catholic Swiss beating the Protestants is
confirmed, and few of our party pity them, for those were the
zealous instigators of the Dutch to make peace with Cromwell, and
France takes part with those godly Protestants agaiast the others
which are Catholics.
Those of Ostend have lately set on an English convoy, going from
Zealand to Dover, and taken from it a gaUiot laden with Spanish
wools. I hear the Dutch say the English friendship is useless, since
Cromwell will not annul the Act for regulating Trade. We hear
from England that the Dutch ambassador is selling his coach horses
and the rest of his wine. Cromwell is sending an ambassador to
Sweden ; Whitelock is named, and though it is said he declines, he
will not be excused.
There is a great difference in Ireland between young Cromwell
and the Commissioners there, and Fleetwood will suddenly return
to pacify it. Some of Cromwell's creatures lately told the citizens
of London that they are not feared, because they have trade to fill
their heads, but the nobility and gentry who are idle.
We hear from Paris that the French are preparing strong fleets
both for the British and Mediterranean seas, to join Cromwell's
fleets for designs in Flanders and Italy.
We expect by the next post an invitation from Flanders for the
King's going thither, and Hyde is so full of belief of it as he is
earnest with me that I should prepare to go with him on Monday
next from here, but till I see that the King is invited I shall not be
so hasty ; if the King shall command me to [go] when the first
company doth, I shall leave my wife and family here till I see
where the King will settle, and Ned, who is lame with the gout, shall
stay with his mother. If the King when in Flanders makes a
conjunction with Spain and settles in those parts, consider whether
you had not best remove thither. When we see how affairs
stand, there may be some use for your service ; advise of this with
the good doctor (?) who is with you, who is great with Hyde, and /
tell you as my friend do not to the doctor (?) seem to rely on any
friend at Court but on Hyde, for that is the only sure way for you
to get employment, when there shall be any worthy of you, but keep
this to yourself, [2| pages; the italics are in cypher, not

Highness and Council having received complaints against John -
Hobson, late in the commission of peace for the county, referred the
case to Fras. Clinton, Hum. Walcot, and Eob. Yerburgh [see 26 Oct.

should go to the poor, bound several persons to keep the peace, and
released them before the sessions, taking money from them, — as he
said, as fees for the clerks of the peace, — and taking 2s. 4<d. from men
that came to be married, though they had paid 2s. to the registrar.

Chapman's character is well known to all the country ; I will only say

Feb. 21. 89. T. Eoss to Sec. Nicholas, Cologne. The prologue of Dick
March 2. Pile's letter, enclosed in yours of Feb. 22, I do not understand,
Paris. unless it be a disguise to the metaphor of keeping a shop in the
latter part. I think by his uncle Sturbridge he means Bristol, where
his friends will furnish him with |- of those 1,000 foot and 600 horse
which were promised at Gloucester, besides charges, &c. By the
journeymen Howes and Jones are meant none but those in the cypher.* ,
The debtor named Eascarick is my private matter; I wanted
money from him and cannot get it. I have asked Pile to meet me at
Dieppe or Calais, to unriddle some of his obscure letters, for there
is more in it than we understand. I have, at his request, pro-
cured him access to some persons of zeal and interest, who have
thanked me for the acquaintance, and said they would speedily
improve it to your advantage, but I cannot divine how, except by
removing Cromwell, to which one of them had specially devoted
himself. As they cannot trust their minds to paper I will sell my
clothes to gain 20 pistoles to meet him. I send you a letter
(missing) headed Cologne, and writ from thence by Blahe, Seymour's
chamber fellow ; it is very enigmatical and ridiculous in style, but
coming from a person so near his master, it has gone from hand to
hand in England, and has much discouraged the King'» friends.
Such writers should be admonished, for though his friends are not
vainly to be elevated with great expectations of his business, neither
are they, to be discouraged from abroad, having too many difficulties
at home. I had the copy of the articles from Mr. Samburne, who
got it from a person of honour, on oath not to give a copy ; but
I persuaded him to get them by heart and let me have the original.
I should like to know whether they differ materially from yours.
I am much comforted in the hopes you give of the King's
remove to Antwerp. There is no great fear of the King of Spain's
complying with Cromwell, who gains on him. I believe Pile writes
that 4,000 single women, most of whom were then in the Tower,^
are to be sent to Jamaica to propagate there, so I think they have
got more than we hear of the Indies ; it is time for Spain to look
about her. The admirals are Desborow, Blake, and Montague.
I hear that Lieut. Gen. Ludlow is at liberty in London, but

men, but this will not be enough, so low was its condition. You
were too severe on Cromwell, which will soon appear by offering the
King of Spain a treaty, if he knows it will be accepted; but if it be
refused, Cromwell will omit nothing to ruin him, for now he admits
Mr. Mallard's son by his first wife to visit his daughter by way of
marriage, and thus links that whole family to him, which will assist
him much.
Vice-Adm. Lawson is cashiered for refusing to go to sea tiU he
knows the design. This caused some disturbance in the fleet, but it
was soon remedied by Bodilar [Badiley's] appearing in his stead, and
by the generals going abroad. If Mr. Kemp comes not soon with
the Duke of York's antidote he will lose his labour, for my friend
will hear of no other relief Foot soldiers are quick at this time, so
hasten sending what you intend. [1 page. The Italics are cyphers,

Feb. 25. Levant Company to Captain Seaman. Our last gave you notice
of our fears concerning the rebels' siege or surprisal of Aleppo,
wherein, as we have received no better satisfaction but rather an
increase of jealousy, we conceive you cannot proceed on your
journey without great danger, so we order you to stay at Leghorn
for a month, on such reasonable demurrage as shall be agreed
between yourselves and the factors aboard your ship and the factors
of Leghorn, to whom we are now writing to deal with you in that
behalf. If any, to anticipate the market, hazard their goods thither
beforehand, any avania or accident therein must be borne by them,
not by us, who disclaim such rash proceedings. [Levant papers,
Vol. IV., p 260.]
Feb. 25. Levant Company to the factors at Leghorn. The news of dis-
London. turbances at Aleppo, rendering it unsafe for Capt. Seaman to proceed
on his journey to Scanderoon, have decided us to order him to stay
till the circumstances be over, which may be a month. We shall
allow him a reasonable demurrage, which we request you and the
factors who are passengers to agree on, for a month, which agree-
ment shall be complied with by a leviation on the goods in the ship,
to be paid by those to whom they are consigned. [Levant papers.

Feb. 25. Levant Company to passengers on board the Golden Fleece. We
have intimated to Capt. Seaman, Chas. Longlartd, Hen. Mellish,
Geo. Norleigh, and James Man and Company, our great fears of
the rebellion at Aleppo, whither we are unwilling you should adven-
ture till the disturbance is settled. Therefore we have ordered
Seaman's continuance at Leghorn for a month, or till you receive
encouragement to proceed. Meanwhile, with the assent of those
of Leghorn before named, you are to agree with the Captain on a
reasonable rate of demurrage to be levied on the ship's goods. If
any, in hope of extraordinary markets adventure their estates
thither before Capt. Seaman, and thereby fall into any hazard, they
do it at their own risk, and we disclaim any such proceeding.

worsted weavers of Norwich and Norfolk, showing how profitable
their trade has always been accounted to this nation ; that when

abroad, to redress this evil an Act was passed in 1650 for 3 years,
and, having a good effect, was revived in 1653, with alterations ; but
some persons, desiring to return to their former deceits, oppose the
s^-me, and occasion suits, causing obstructions to the petitioners, and

purchasers. They have showed us an order from a Parliament
Committee which grants them favour therein. We think it just to
have the same continued, and as the fleet often resorts there, and is
assisted by the petitioners, we send you their address and the order,
that you may consider what should be done. [1 "page^ Annexing,
108. I. Petition of Rich. Estis, John Culmer, Step. Peirce, and
Thos. Scarlet, pilots, and the seamen, seamen's widows,

the beach waste ground, not worth 2s. an acre, that we
might serve the navy and merchant ships, hut our houses
were surveyed in 1650, and returned as built on the
luaste of Court Ash Manor, Deal, late part of the Arch-

delivering anything positive, unless given by my friends ; indeed I

Feb. 29. 110. [Dick Pile to T. Ross.] I cannot advise you as to your
March 10. design for Portugal, because the Kings of Spain and Portugal have
agreed to a suspension, if not a peace, and the articles of agreement
between the King of Portugal and the Protector are sent back hither,
with a positive denial of 3 articles.
1. Concerning our merchants' liberty for their religion.
2. Reception of our ships into his ports for refreshing. The third
I forget.
Last week 2 merchants went in a frigate from the Protector to
demand 5,000L from the King of Portugal, being J of what was
agreed to be paid for damages done to our merchants; if it be
refused, our fleet will be there to make him repent it within 14
days.
The fleet wants men, and money will not be had at any condition.
Kemp^s delay has distracted me ; I had done with him long ago,
had I not expected him here, but now it's impossible, and I must be
patient.
Our terrible fleet is nearly ready to sail, and 40 ships are
preparing, so you may believe your passage hither will be secured.
Last week some rogues from Flanders boarded a frigate in Dover
Road, cut cable, and stole her away.
We hear the King of Sweden has lost 6,000 men in battle, but
keeps the field. If the King sends not to me soon, I am undone,
and cannot quit this place for which I have importuned Mrs. Ross.
Col. Lockhart is preparing to go ambassador to France. Send the
goods soon or the customs will be raised ; the Protector has sent to
the merchants to raise them H. ; 30s. per cent, on exports, and 50s.
on imports. [1 page. Italics in cypher, undecyphered.]

1. Petition of Dan. Thyaen, merchant of London, to the Protector.
Being a subject of the States General, my ship, the Golden Falcon,
was seized by English ships, part of her lading of wines and fruit
was claimed by and restored to Flanders merchants by this
Admiralty Court, but my claim is yet undecided. During the wars
with Holland, I lived at Ostend, and became a burgher there, and
never assisted the Hollander. I am a member of the Protestant
church, and have transplanted myself, with my wife and children,
to London, living in Philpot Lane, and intend to trade here. I beg
protection, on obeying the laws and paying all customs, and
exemption from seizure of ships and goods for once living in

Levant Company to Capt. Seaman. Hearing by a private letter
from Constantinople that disturbances at Aleppo are composed by
the raising of the siege and dispersion of the rebels, we pray you
now to proceed on your voyage if the news there concur with ours.
[Levant Papers, Vol. lY-, p. 262.]
[March 3.] Levant Company to factors at Leghorn and on board the Golden
Fleece. We hear in a letter from Eicli. Lawrence at Constantinople, of
Dec. 31, that several Turks there had received advice from Aleppo that
the siege was raised and the rebels departed. Whereof, although we
doubt not that your intelligence* is more speedy than ours, and
that at the first notice of security the ship will be speeded away, yet
we send you this brief notice, that the ship may be delayed no longer
than necessary. [Levant Papers, Vol. IV., p. 263.]
March 3. 2. Capt. Hen. Hatsell to Col. Jno. Clarke. I have done my best to
Plymouth, procure men, and have only pressed those fit for the service. The
Fagon is at Dartmouth, to get what she can out of the 25 New-
foundland ships. I have given her captain orders to treat
with the masters whose companies do not come into the town to
furnish 100, and then to sufier them to make their ships ready. They
would all have sailed last week, notwithstanding the embargo, if
the Fagon had not been in the road, for they understood, by the Lord
President's letter to the Commissioners of Customs, that the New-
foundland ships may go whether the fleet sail or no, and they think
it hard that their men should be taken when the State gives them
leave to depart. I do not understand the mystery of the embargo.
I have one of the Brest ships ready, and am proceeding with the
other. I desire no more New England masts, having 4 of white
pine, which I am loth to use. I will write the Ordnance officers
for guns for the frigates. I beg you to allow Mr. Rowe an interview,
should he seek one, on my behalf There is now an order to stay
the sailing of any vessel. [2 pages.]

tation of 301. a year ; if it could have been had, he would never
have left. I send informations taken by Capt. Pley respecting the
Spanish fleet, the originals of which have been sent to Gen.
Desborow. I assume that those of Owen and Trankmore cannot
be true, and that Ellis is a Cavalier. I recommend Rich. Penhallow,
who has had a command in the Straits, and is a pretty aitist, with a
good landed estate, and Isaac White, as commanders for the two
Bresters, but can say little on behalf of Finch. [1 page.] Enclosing,

They were infornfied by Rich. Ellis and other English mer-
chants at Teneriffe that a fleet of 37 Spanish ships, with
10,000 soldiers and some brass guns, passed that port
bound for St. Domingo, where they intended to leave a
portion of the men and guns, and then proceed with the
remainder to Jamaica, to beat out the English there.

4. [Sec. Nicholas] to Jos. Jane. The Archduke's orders to the
Admiralty in Flanders for issuing commissions to take English ships
were strangely perfunctory, but a few days later came an explana-
tion that the prizes taken from the English should be judged
according to the ancient ordinances of the Admiralty.
We hope soon to know what countenance will be given to ships
of war having commissions from our King, whom we expect here
this week, and then we shall know what we may expect from the
King of Spain's ministers.

March 4. I am of your opinion as to the French endeavours to stay the
Buke of York in France because of the many strangers in their
service ; but if the King shall be well and firmly united with the
King of Spain, I am persuaded the duJce will not remain "with
those ungrateful French (?) who, when they had served themselves
of him so long, agreed to abandon him so u7vwoTth.ily at the instance
of him who had murdered his /f6ther.
There may be an overture made to the States to join with
Cromwell, France, and Sweden ; but if embraced, it will be their
ruin, for that is the design both of Cromwell and the Swede, who
make religion the cloak of their ambition, and defame the Pro-
testant profession, and make it as full of hypocrisy as that of the
Pharisees or the Jesuits.
The governing party in Holland should not incur Cromwell's dis-
pleasure by revoking the Act of Seclusion, for he will look upon it
as a leaning to our master's interest, which cannot be separated
from that of the Prince of Orange. The French show much the
greater respect and kindness to the Princess Royal, the Duke of York,
and all that family now there, thereby to injealous the King of
Spain, and to keep Spain from joining with the King, but I hope
their craft shall fail (?) thcTn,.
I hear that Sir Kenelm Digby has become a great pensioner of
Cromwell's, and that his business in France is to hinder any agree-
ment between Spain and France, which he will not find difficult, as
long as Cardinal Mazarin rules absolutely ; for war, not peace, is his
interest.
It is said that at the meeting of all the army ofiicers at White-
hall, there will be greater transactions than have been for many
years ; they are to settle the legislation solely in Cromwell and his
Council and their successors ; to establish the succession ; to confer
new titles on Cromwell ; to order all tithes to be paid to the public
Treasury ; and then, when all is perfectly established by them, a
Parliament will be called, which will be regulated and limited.
Is Mr. O'Neale there now at the Hague ? for there is a report
that he is gone into Flanders, which I cannot believe, though he is
more of the secret council than I am, being a great confidant of
Hyde's. I wish he may prove worthy the trust reposed in him,
but it's no wisdom to make those who are not sworn to be secret
privy to the secrets of state, and how can it but give great (discontent
unto sworn counsellors, and bring much disquietness to those that
are instrumental in it ? but I pray keep this to yourself.
The fleet in the Downs is very mutinous. Blake and Montague
were sent by Cromwell to pacify the seamen, who are angry because
Lawson is not Vice-admiral. Cromwell took his commission from
him, suspecting him to have had a hand in last year's mutiny.
Badiley takes his place, but it not so well beloved as the other.
The discontent among seamen is so general that, if they had known
they would have security in the King of Spain's ports, by his havmg
made a fast conjunction with our King, many, nay most of the
fleet would have abandoned Cromwell, who is said to be most odious
among the seamen. You will have heard of the orders for pressing

In 1644 I was sequestrated by the County Commissioners on an

of my disbursing 300?. for Parliament in the county. Yet the Com-
missioners for the Peace, finding me in the sequestration book, have
summoned me, and because I could not find my discharge in time, I
had to make the first payment of my assessment, lest I might incur a
contempt ; I beg relief and repayment, and freedom from any assess-
ment on my estate. [1 page.] Annexing,

relief of the sick and wounded, and the 18s. a month which each
minister receives to be repaid to the Navy Treasurer, for the whole
time that Sherman was kept upon the books. Wm. Fox the purser
was also ordered to repay for his victuals, and fined 20 nobles for
making the ticket.
The small trunk said to be taken from a Guernsey ship proved
to be from a Frenchman, and so was not censured, and the tobacco
and furs out of the Salt prize were held inconsiderable. The 4 packs
of linen cloth out of the Constant Warwick prize were not claimed,
and the 200 pieces of 8 proved to be 110 given by Collart for
saving his men, and were proved by the oaths of 3 or 4 who
received their share to have been satisfactorily distributed.
The 3 brass guns taken from a Jerseyman he was ordered to
restore, and was fined 401., one moiety to the injured party, and the
other to the Secretary, to be disposed of as aforesaid ; so that upon
the whole he stands fined in 601., with stop of pay until he produces
proof of having performed what is enjoined ; but the pay already
due is granted him, the better to enable him to pay his fine
speedily.
The Court did not think meet to expel him, being an active and
stout fighting man, in this conjuncture, when so many have laid
themselves aside. Customary swearing was only proved by the
cook ; as he had sometimes sworn at the men's cross working of
the sails, or because the guns were not ready when in chase, he

received a severe reproof and admonition from the Court. If the
fleet's sailing does not hinder, something may be said and done to
the cook, who at Plymouth gave his commander abusive language,
and run both his fists in his face.
The trial concerning the accident to the Pelican has yet to be
heard, unless the sailing of the fleet prevents. I do not find by the
examinations that any punishment will be inflicted ; but as evil
customs produce good laws, I have drawn strict orders for preventing
accidents, which were read and allowed by the Council of War, and
will be sent up to be printed and distributed. I hope the fleet will
not carry me with them, although many of the captains desire it<
The fellow on board the Preston has been sent by Gen. Blake's
order to the commander in the Downs, to be kept until my return
thither ; and^ I should like a letter from the Commissioners implying
a need of me there, which wiU be equally if not more than
with his fleet. I have not heard or seen anything more of Capt,
Sperling. My son presents service to you and your virtuous lady.

27. Intelligence from Dunkirk. The packet boat for Dunkirk goes
and comes as formerly, but I do not know how long it will continue.
Three frigates, carrying 22, 15, and 8 pieces of ordnance, have left
Dunkirk for the north ; a new one of 18 guns has been recently
launched, and two others to carry 56 and 20 guns are on the stocks.
At Ostend there is the Leopoldus of 26 guns, and 10 or 12 small
ones, some of which took my ship, the Abraham, coming from
Newcastle 3 months since. I went over and bought her again, and
sent her back to Newcastle, when she was again taken in Aid-
borough Bay, and carried to Dunkirk, where she was condemned
and sold.
The ships before mentioned were fitting out when I was there,
had commissions against the English, and have since gone to sea ;
there are 40 men-of-war from Dunkirk and Ostend now out, and
bringing in prizes, 5 whereof were lately carried into Flushing, as
they could not gain Ostend, and the three men-of-war who took
them put to sea again for new purchases. There was one of their
King's ships at Ostend, but I do not think they will set her to sea ;
all those that are out and fitting out, as also the great one building
at Dunkirk, belong to private men. The Ostenders intend build-
ing a frigate of 36 guns this summer, and have most of the timber
for that purpose. [1 page.]

Parliament of England or their forces in Scotland, but to
live peaceably under the Government, and use his utmost
endeavours that his children and family do the same ;
and if any walk otherwise, forthwith to make it known
to the chief officer of the next garrison, or the Commander-
in-Chief in Scotland; this not to hinder his endeavours
for establishing religion according to his conscience,
" provided it be not by acting or contriving any way of
hostility in the least manner against the aforesaid
authority."
(2.) He will do his utmost that the inhabitants of Argyleshire,
and all other vassals or tenants that depend on him shall
deport themselves conformably to this engagement.
(3,) He, or his eldest son, the Marquis of Lome, whichever
Parliament think fit, will when required repair to
England, to such place as Parliament or the Council of
State think fit, provided they have a compass of 20 miles,
and leave to wait on Parliament or Council as occasion
requires. Also they are to have a month's time allowed to
prepare for the journey to England.
(4.) Maj.-Gen. Deane agrees thereupon that the Marquis shall
enjoy his liberty and estate, free of sequestration or
molestation, provided this extend not to freeing his
estate of assess or other public burdens, nor his houses
from garrisoning, except Inverary and Carrick, which
shall not be garrisoned but upon extraordinary necessity.

Paris. hopes of the King of Spain's conjunction ; it will advantage him
no less than yoii. I have nothing from England, Bich Pile and my
friends being absent from London, and not having my letters. The
Norfolk gentleman I named has gone to the sea-side, and has sent
for some of his friends over to understand the state of his country.
I may not name him, but he is a papist and yet loyal, 50 years old,
his father still alive, is heir to 5,000?. a year, and has bought the
reversion of his estate of Parliament long since. Your removal into
Flanders will animate him to appear more for you than yet he does,
but he is loyal and honest.
I think well of Read, as you do, and know not why Pile, who was
his friend, censures him. I have added the name you sent [as
cypher] for the Earl of Norwich. I hear of the Earl of Strafford's
health by his kinsman just come over, who tells me that Davison,
Holder, and the other gentlemen that killed their keeper to escape,
though formerly acquitted by the jury, will be tried again. The
press of land and seamen continues.

I am troubled at Sir F. Vincent's neglect, that a person of honour
should promise so much and be so long in performing ; but perhaps
both he and Hungerford (whose father pretends to policy) suspend

K. Digby is here, but I only hear through him of Whitelock's passing

Weymouth. The Dunkirkers and Ostenders begin to grow numerous, and do
, much mischief daily; within the last 15 days, they have taken two
ships of Lyme, coming from St. Malo, within two hours after leaving
their convoy, viz. : — the Boyar, and one richly laden with linen.
Since then they have taken one of Topsham, bound for Newfound-
land ; another of North Yarmouth, with wine from Bordeaux, was
driven on shore and boarded, and as they could not get her oflf on
account of the soldiers in [Portland] island, they fired her, and carried
away the maister, but the fire was quenched and the ship saved.
On the 15th they took several ships in sight of Weymouth, and
the same day met 2 more, one from Virginia, and the other from the
Palm Islands, but the latter being of no force, they all went about
the Virginian, and fought very stoutly, until the enemy threw a
granado into their gun-room port, which lighting the powder, blew
up the ship; the master and 6 others were slain outright, and 12
men and one woman greviously burnt and wounded ; notwith-
standing their condition, they stripped them aU, and in doing so,
plucked off skin and aU, and turned them on shore in a boat, and
they are now in Weymouth in a sad condition. The ships of Lyme
from Dunkirk report that there are 20 sail there ready to come
forth.
I am sorry to hear the general complaint, both of merchants and
seamen, that they are not regarded, but left a prey to every rogue,
and no course taken to prevent it, as they cannot hear of a State's
frigate for weeks together. I humbly desire some course may be
taken for the security of merchants and trade ; if but a small frigate
or two were designed to be between Portland and Alderney, these
rogues would be quickly cut short ; they frequent this place from
its being a headland and the narrowness of the channel, and conse-
quently they cannot miss coasters and such as pass up and down.
If the frigates so to be appointed were also ordered to look into
Weymouth once a week for intelligence, I do not question but some
of them, if not all, would shortly be destroyed. [1 page.]

defective beyond seas if they desire it. [1 page draft,

themselves and deputies, and for all the checks in the

others now preparing for the channel service, besides those already
abroad ; it is thought that it will conduce to the welfare of the
Southern fleet that a present provision of 2 or 3 months' flesh for
the whole fleet, to last until a winter slaughter, be made, if the fleet
is out so long as to want it, but nothing can be done without
present money ; also that some course should be settled for disposing
of prisoners taken in the State's ships, as many committed to goals
have escaped and may do more mischief — that two months' flesh be
provided for the fleet, and the Admiralty Commissioners take order
accordingly, and that the Majors-General be requested to take order

assured there will be a firm conjunction between the King and Spain.
Enquire more about the knight of Malta, whom you name to have
been there with the Spanish ambassador, and now to be gone for
England. I believe Spain would not refuse a secure peace with
England as now governed, but considering Cromwell's league with
France, and his engagements with the Indies, I do not see that he
can accommodate with Spain, and keep up his credit at home and
abroad.

There are great distempers now among the great ones that rule
in England, and CromweU is more full of jealousies than ever.
Lambert is the army's darling, and the only person courted ; he has
acted more these three weeks than in all his time before. He is
daily in Council, and carries all before him ; he has chosen all the
new life-guard, who are absolutely his creatures. Col. Lockier [Wm.
Lockhart] who married a kinswoman of Cromwell, goes ambassador
to France, but with him Lambert sends his secretary, a subtle villain.
The rebels are still in great want of money, and Cromwell intends,
by his Majors General, to make the rich citizens pay him good sums.
Many gentlemen are leaving London, choosing rather to fall into
the hands of the country'- Majors-General than into those appointed
for London and Middlesex. People that never thought of going
beyond seas are now meditating how to get out of England speedily.
r hear nothing of a peace between Spain and Portugal, but it
would be an infinite advantage to Spain in his war with GromweU.
Sweden will not treat with Holland unless the States renounce
their league with Spain, which the Dutch cannot do without
infinite inconvenience, beside the dishonour of such an act.
I know nothing of O'Neale's negociations, but being of the cabinet,
he may go for Flanders.
Ambassador Nieuport is shortly returning from England, to
discover to the States some great secrets from Cromwell, which are
to abate the Dutch inclinations for the Spaniard ; should these prove
ineffectual, he is to offer the repeal of the Act of 1651 for regulat-
ing trade and navigation, and for Cromwell to join the Dutch
against Sweden, if they will join him against Spain. Tell M. Keins-
wood and 613* this, and sound them about it. Divers of the Prince
of Condi's ofiicers are leaving him, having made their peace with
France, and Spain is not much sorry for it.
Meadows is sent to Lisbon for the King of Portugal's last resolu-
tion about ratifying his treaty with Cromwell, who has left out
the article about religion, rather than not have the liberty of the
ports in Portugal. Some say the fleet stays to know whether those
ports will be open to them.
We hope next post to know whether the King will return here
to expect the ratification from Madrid of what has been agreed on
in Flanders.
I hear Mr. Cha[ncellor Hyde] intends to bring his lady to Breda
to lie in, but if the King return hither, Mr. Cha. should not stir from
hence. My wife enquires if your wife goes to England this spring.
P.S. — I am sorry for the good doctor's sickness. I fear it is
caused by the troubles he meets with in the family where he is.

but he has forgotten or disregarded it, or else he has no safe way to
convey his letters, because my wife, for want of maintenance in
London, has been obliged to retire to my mother's ; all my letters
passed through her hands. Had she been in London, you would not
fail of weekly intelligence. If Hungerford and File fail I have no
way left but by Hopton, who will stay here till Armorer returns
from the King, that he may go over fully instructed by him. He
will put his business in your hands only, and relies on you to present
him to the King as he shall merit.
I have committed to Armorer a suit for myself; Pile would send
me a messenger, but I think it not needful till Hopton and they
compare notes, and then an express should be sent to the King.
Shall I meet it and come with the message to you ?
Pils says there is great discontent in the fleet, and wishes means
to be taken to continue it. Some in London of Maj.-Gen.
Massey's acquaintance would be the fittest instruments. I think
"Mallard's son by his first wife" [see 21 Feb., p. 197 supra] must
mean the Presbyterians, for he [Massey] has neither son nor wife
as far as I know, so it must mean the first quarrel he espoused,
which was the Presbyterian. By " Heyman's antidote " he must
mean some assistance from the King to allay disanimations there.

63. Major Rich. Elton to the Admiralty Commissioners. I received
your instructions for Capt. Boost to take the Amsterdam ships also
under his convoy to London, and desired the merchants to order
their affairs so as to give less trouble therein for the future. The
merchants of Hull return thanks for the favour, but decline to
accept it, as the dangers of the seas from Hull to the Thames are
gTeater than from Hull to the Texel. Having perishable goods on
board and lying so long at sea, and then going from Hull to the
240 DOMESTIC
1656. ^«^- C^^^-
Thames and thence to Amsterdam, they -would not endure the
voyage ; also the insurances effected on the faith of their sailing
direct from Hull to Amsterdam would be forfeited if the route was
altered. As Capt. Boost is to return to his station after convoying
the London ships to the Thames, and will pass the Humber's mouth,
they desire he may be ordered to call there and convoy their ships
to the Texel ; in order that no time may be lost, they will be there
ready to meet him. Having imprisoned Jno. Hall in York and Wm.
Deerlaw in Hull, for receiving press money and then deserting, I
want to know what I am to do with them and others of a hke
nature. [1^ pages.}
March 25. 64. Petition of Capt. Jas. Greenaway and 5 other captains of ships
of London, Yarmouth, and Leith, bound for Rochelle and Bordeaux,
to the Admiralty Commissioners, for a convoy. Are richly laden,
and there are many enemies on the coast of France who have taken
several English ships coming home under convoy of 3 French men-
of-war, and took 2 Bristol ships ; 3 frigates of St. Sebastian's almost
surprized the 3 French men-of-war. [1 page.]
March 25. Assignment by Thomas Zachary of Twickenham, co. Middlesex,
to John GeU of St. Martin's in the Fields, for 101. of the residue of
a lease for 14J years from Michaelmas 1653, of a messuage in
Twickenham, rent 81. ; endorsed with an agreement that John Gell
pays all taxes, &c., on the house. [Parchment signed, Interregnum

March 26. 65. Capt. Wm. Whitehorn to the Admiralty Commissioners. I
The Gains- could not grant a convoy to Eochelle without your order. The
borugb. Downs. Pembroke and Drake could take the ships, and would do much good,
passing in and out of th'e Channel. A rich vessel for Scotland wants
a convoy ; I can send her to Yarmouth. What shall I do with the
prisoners, and what about convoys generally ? A Dutch vessel from
Cadiz reports that 18 men-of-war are fitting out there, and that 30
of their Naples fleet sailed from thence a month since for the Straits.
Capt. Hugh Wilson, of the Anthony of London, from Virginia, was
boarded three times oif Beechy by an Ostend man-of-war of 8 guns
and 60 men, but on the last attempt, he forced many of them over-
board and took 6 prisoners, with the loss of two of his own and
4 wounded. The packet boat from Dunkirk having reported that
an Ostender was at the back of the Goodwin Sands, I have sent the
Pembroke and Drake to look after him. [1 page.]

That the Accountant General be appointed by his Highness,
wholly dependent on the State, and answerable for his clerks.
That he also act as a check on the Commissioners of Customs
and their officers, as to daily receipts for customs in the Port of
London by biUs of exchange, &c., from the out-ports, and as to
moneys paid by the Commissioners for half subsidy, incident
charges, salary, &c.
That the Cashier General and receiver in the Port of London, and
all the collectors in the out-ports be nominated by the Customs'
Commissioners, and approved by the Committee for Preservation
of Customs.
That on this new settlement, the Commissioners of Customs present
to his Highness the names of all the present officers, that those
of honesty and integrity may be continued, and those excepted
against discharged. The Commissioners to have power to
suspend their officers, giving an account thereof to his Highness,
that if they are thought fit to be removed, others may be placed
in their room.*
That the clerks of the checks shall not compare their books with
those of the Cmmissioners or officers, nor allow them to be com-
pared, on pain of loss of office. Annexing,

use of pocket dags, several amendments were made, and the same
was recommitted on a clause now in debate, to be brought in to-
morrow morning. Mulgrave added to the Committee.

says that if he could have liberty of his person, books, and vouchers
for stating his accounts, we should not be damnified, but his estate
would satisfy his debts. As we are sure you do not wish us to suffer
unjustly, we beg this liberty for him. Also

March 27. 72. [John Weston to T. Boss. J I am to tell you that Cromwell (?)
London. has strictly charged me not to mention that you desire to admit the
King (?) to any composition, saying it is your due, and you shall
have it soon, for he has agreed with one Streight to see him
arrested, and then to have his reward. One of Stanleys family,
who has lately been 2 or 3 journeys to where the King is, will assist
him. An intimate of Lambert's, a most cunning fellow, is sent
into France ; remember that if the King cannot make him his friend,
he must try to make him not his enemy. Six times the men that
the army allowed the fleet, the King of Spain has allowed the King
of England to furnish him in his journey, so says the Council of
State. My friend is sick of the mother, but I laugh at her, knowing
she can help it. [| page ; italics are cyphers,- partly decyphered.]
March 27 ? 73. [Alice Koss to ]. Hearing that you could send
the enclosed to the King, I trouble you with these lines. John
Weston says there is a colonel allied to the Wildman family, who
does not receive from the King the kindness he expected, and it is
feared it may make a breach between the families, and then there
is no hopes of the match between the King and Wildman. Some
that know the intentions of Wildman's friends should speak with
the colonel, and recover the former neglect.
Our merchantmen complain much for their last loss. Dick Pile
tells me with much sorrow that a Dutch ship was brought in by
our ships, the goods claimed, and the claim acknowledged, but while
they were getting an order to regain them, 8,000?. value were sbld.
This will be ground enough for a quarrel between us. I wish I
could always be in town to wait on the King's affairs, but I am
obliged to retire into the country. Endorsed [by Nicholas], " In

PreS. Lawrence to the President and Council in Scotland. The

2,000?. a month was abated from the Scotch assessment on lands
destroyed by the war formerly, and conceiving that they may now
have suflaciently recovered from the efi'ects thereof. Council commends
it to your serious thought to consider whether some proportion
of the said 2,000?. may not be raised in Scotland, and if you find it
so, it shall be put into a convenient way of execution. You are to
consult herein with Gen. Monk, to whom his Highness referred it
last October to advise with you about raising 500?. a month out of
the said abated assessments, for the Council's contingencies in Scot-
land. Pray signify what the monthly sum likely to be so raised may

Pres. Lawrence to the 2 Lords Chief Justices and the rest of the
Judges of Common Law at Westminster. Several merchants have
complained to the Protector that they began suits in the Admiralty
courts for matters done upon the high seas, and contracts made
beyond seas, and were obstructed by prohibitions from the Courts
of Common Law at Westminster, and actions brought and pro-
secuted at law, for the same matters as have been decreed in the
Admiralty Court. This matter, being referred by his Highness to
Council, was seriously considered by Council, with advice of the
judges of the land and Admiralty judges, and others learned in both
common and civil law, who thought a great grievance was therein
done to the people, whose charges in the one court were wasted and
they left in uncertainty how to obtain relief His Highness and
Council therefore recommend you and the other judges to be very
sparing in granting prohibitions, and to consult with the Admiralty
judges touching the particular cases before granting them, to deter-
mine in which court such cases may best be tried. Approved

Pres. Lawrence to the Admiralty judges. Several merchants have
complained of the hindrance to their cases depending before you
caused by the prohibitions granted by the judges of common law
to stay proceedings in your court. This will be prevented if courts
will keep within their own bounds, and entertain only such causes
as are fit for their determination. His Highness and Council there-
fore desire you not to admit any case more properly within the
jurisdiction of common law. Approved 5 April. [7. 77, pp. 30,

35. Capt. Geo. Pley toKob. Blackborne. I could not deliver Capt.
Sanders' letter, as he had gone for Jersey. Two of the enemies' frigates
chased 10 sail of merchantmen and others, and ran two on shore
near here, one of which they fetched off again ; the company of the
other took away her sails and cut a hole in her side, so she was
saved. They made after the rest of the fleet, and came up with them
in our view, so we judge most were taken, or at least as many as
they could man. I advised Col. Gierke to have some frigate lying
off Portland, being the best place to do good upon these rogues ; but
those designed for this station are sent on other employment, so the
enemy has opportunity of doing mischief meanwhile, and for the
most part keeps the English coast where most purchase is to be had.
I wish those ships designed for here had orders to rendezvous here,
stand off for Alderney at night, and come into shore in the morning,
and then they must meet with them.
P.S. — If our frigates kept the Narrow between Dover and Galais,
they would redeem many a ship, as they are taken daily. [1 page.^
36. Gapt. Jno. Parker to the Admiralty Gommissioners. I set sail
with the ship with the masts and oars, and 8 sail bound along the
coast for Plymouth, but had to put back to Portland Roads, and am
waiting a wind. While in Portland Roads, we saw a frigate standing
in with the State's colours at 9 p.m., which we supposed to be the
Boyer ; and upon hailing whence she came, they replied Whitehall,
and first that her captain's name was Staynard, then Nichols ; but at
last said, " You dog, my name is Swart," and commanded me to hoist
out our boat. I answered his demand with a broadside, which ho
returned, but as it was small shot it only damaged our rigging ;
after bearing up and firing again, he put to sea, and sailing very well,
we lost him in the darkness. The next morning we found two of
the ships under our convoy had been taken by Swart's consort, a
frigate of 12 guns. It is their own fault, for 1 told them to keep
near me, my order being to keep to the fly-boat, which sails heavily.
P.M. — This is the third time I have fallen in with the enemies'
men-of-war, but cannot catch any, as they are too swift, which causes
me to regret not having a better sailer, that I might destroy some of
them. [1 pagei\

April ^. 46. T. Ross to Nicholas. On my return from Calais, I met my
Pans. wife, sent hither by Pile and his friends. Yourk of the 4th was the
more welcome that you think the King will finish his suit to
his content, which I have seen confirmed from the place where he
is. Armorer is now there, and accompanied me to Calais, whence
he went by post to the King. I referred to him the relation of
what my wife had to say, because I did not think he would find
the King where he is and was unwilling to commit anything to
paper. Armorer Was resolved on his journey before I knew of
mine, but I was glad to send by him, as Pile wished the business
to be transmitted with expedition, and I had scarce money to carry
me to Calais ; but nothing committed by me or Hopton to him is to
pass through any other liands than yours. If he break his oath he
will forfeit his honour, and the business will not be accepted from
other hands than yours. Hopton only waits his return to go where
he is much desired.
I have sent to the King our friends' desire, that he may be fully
instructed in his business, that is, towards Sir John Grenville.
His business about removing Cromwell was one great motive to
Armorer's journey, and if the hoped for return be made, it will be
effected. Hopton is resolved and is ordered by his friends to deal
with none but yourself, or immediately with the King. I know
that Armorer is in frequent commerce with Sir Edw. Hyde, but
he said it was the King's command, or he would not have relin-
quished you, to whom Ke is bound by great obligation and affection ;
but I will so watch him that he cannot divert our trade from its
channel. / hear from my wife that at Bristol there were ready
3,000 men which should, on the King's command, be employed to
purchase a manor near Chepstow Castle, well furnished with
necessaries, but our friends will not settle there, but rather be
nearer to Gloucester, where we have 1,000 men, and doubt not
in case the King cannot join, to make good the suit. They want
1 or 2 good attorneys like Hopton entertained. At my arrival here
on Saturday, I found an important letter oi Pile, and being troubled,
went and showed it to the Duke of York, whose elder brother it
concerned. I wrote to my friend to explain it, viz., who was
Lambert's confidant, &c.
I have sent by my wife both to Sir F. Vincent and Hungerford,
and shall do the same by Hopton. I hope I have taken such order
that in future you will not lack intelligence.

I cannot tell what to say as to your writing that Lambert is the
darling of the army. It is true that he is the only active person
in England, and the man used by the Protector formerly to cajole
the army, so that I hear that the army are not well pleased with him.
When ambassador Lockhart arrives, I will enquire as you desire.

47. Capt. Geo. Pley to Col. Clarke. I desired Mr. Blackborne
to inform the Admiralty Commissioners what mischief the enemies'
frigates did last week upon the coast. Yesterday, while Capt. Baker,
of the Hopewell pink was convoying some 8 sail, mostly with linen,
from St. Malo to Weymouth, a frigate of 22 guns came up, exchanged
broadsides with him, and took one of his convoys, commanded by
Mr. Beare, having goods worth 12,000Z. Beare made no resistance,
but the taking of that ship enabled Capt. Baker to get away, after
having a man killed and his purser wounded. I always had -doubts
of the fitness of the Hopewell pink for a man-of-war ; she being old
and rotten ; will be a constant charge, and of little service. Had
the enemy boarded her she must have' been taken. Weymouth is
infested with these rogues more than any other place, and they do
mischief daily without any check ; the frigates appointed as a guard
are absent on other service. If the wind is westerly, they send their
prizes to Dunkirk and Ostend, and if easterly, to St. Sebastian's.
There are several Weymouth ships waiting to put to sea, but cannot
do so, as there are some 16 of these pirates laying off Belle Isle, and
so little safety for the merchants and others. I will supply Capt.
Baker with 14 days' provisions without order. Please to acquaint
Capt. Alderne so that it be allowed on account. I should have
a general order to supply ships on the coast in cases of emergency.
[1 page.]
48. Capt. Danl. Baker to the Admiralty Commissioners. While
off Portland I chased an Ostender for some hours, and fired at her,
but she escaped in the darkness, I was forced into St. Malo by the
weather, and being much importuned by some merchants and
masters of English vessels to give them convoy, and considering
that my instructions were to protect English ships in their trading,
I consented, and came from thence with 8 sail, dropped 4 bound for
Ireland, Looe, and Apsham on the way, and made for Weymouth
with the remainder. When off the Berry, we met another Ostender,
whereupon 3 of my convoys stood in for the shore, but the 4th — being
a Mr. Beare of London, and a ship of great value, and having 6 guns —
stood along the Channel, and instead of fighting, very unworthily,
though I was within | a mile of him, hauled his foresail upon the
mast, and stayed for the Ostender, who took him without firing
a shot. I attempted a rescue, losing one man and having another
wounded, but was compelled to desist through the violence of the
storm, and not being able to use my guns or -follow her' up. I regret
such a bad business, but hope you will believe I did my best. I

The effects of our work are very observable ; our enemies are much
terrified, our friends encouraged, peace secured, and wickedness
suppressed. Though the dealing is severe, the people of this country
think it necessary and just. Indulgence has but hardened them in
their malignity, and but for our proceedings, the good interest had
been overtopped by the royal and worldly. We are satisfied that
we have God's mind in these proceedings, and now the people bless
God for their enjoyments through you. [1^ pages.]
51* Major Wm. Burton to the Admiralty Commissioners, You write
that you do as much as you are able, but if speedy course is not
taken, we shall be a prey to the enen)y, for all the vessels they take
they fit out as men-of-war, and they have now 70 out, and not
one English frigate in the Roads, since you ordered me to send one
to Rotterdam ; 50 sail came over last week from the Maas, with
two Dutch men-of-war, but those laden with goods would not trust
themselves with the Dutch convoy, and there are 20 sail yet to
come, and two at Yarmouth, richly laden with stuffs and stockings,
ready to go thither. Thanks for your order sent to, Weymouth, but
the Hopewell pink had already gone to St. Malo, so my vessel lay
there still ; but if you send to Portsmouth there are always some
ships about the Wight.
]f the State wants money to carry on the works, and 60,OOOL
a month will not do, 120,000?. must. The Hollanders say that the
English are asleep,, and that nearly 70 English sail lie there
without convoy. I hope this will be well taken. [1 page.]
52. Capt. Hen. Hatsell to the Admiralty Commissioners. I gave
you an account of the prize taken by the Constant Warwick, as also
the one called the Raven, that you might see how the seamen
plundered them. I have dealt very plainly with the captains that
took them, but they say they cannot remedy it, as if they take
a man-of-war that fights them, the sailors are so violent that they
will scarcely leave a thing that is portable ; and that they are the
more unruly because the promised gunnage and tonnage has not
been paid them. There is also a fault in boats going off
from hence when a prize is taken, I have ordered the captain to
throw shots into them to sink them as also the lieutenant of the

fort to send out his boat to take the other boats, make the men
prisoners, and frighten them, if not worse. I do hope from hence-
forth there will be a reformation of this great abuse, as since Beach
was taken, I have never seen vessels so handled as the last 3 or 4
prizes were. I beg an order to Jas. Blackborne, check in the prize
office at Plymoutli, to go on board every prize as soon as she is
brought into the' Roads, and take an inventory, with one of the Sub-
Commissioners of Prizes. [1 page.]
Levant Company to Sir Thos. Bendish, Since our last of 24 Dec.
we have received yours of 25 Oct. by your son, who is safely arrived
with the Merchant's Delight. We are glad not only that the action
at Tunis has been so well salved up, but that you give us such
confident assurance of security for the future, and we trust your
endeavours to prevent such hazards as that and the frequent
changes of Government may occasion. Lose not the opportunity
of the friendship you have contracted with the new Vizier, as well
as the Muftie, by whose means you have already obtained some
favours and acts of justice at a charge which is agreeable to us, and
will be settled when the Treasury accounts come.
We much wish you may be able to procure the release of Geo.
Davis, now returned thither with the Capt. Bassa ; also of Thos.
Gallilee, or any other poor Christians.
The goods brought in the Mayflower, which omitted payment of
impositions, have now given satisfaction ; thanks for your past care ;
we desire a continuance as to the enjoyment of our duties on the
ships bound for Smyrna and the Porte, whereof our husband will
tender a particular account for guidance of the treasurer in col-
lecting the same on the goods entered here, and those which
escaped payment.
VVe have reviewed and settled the rates of consulage, as also
of tonnage and freight, whereof a list shall be sent you, Since our
debts are totally extinguished there, to our abundant content, it
behoves us to acquit ourselves speedily of those lying on us here
at home, to which end we have resolved on a consulage extra-
ordinary, to be taken on all goods out and in at all places in
Turkey, to go upon credit of those to whom money is owing in
the Company's books, at the rate of 5s. the dollar, and to be paid
down by the rest, which we pray you to have collected with the
other duties.
P.S.— John Abney, our late treasurer, complains of an arrear of
1,728 dollars owing him on his late account, beside 244 spent for
interest on moneys taken up for us, and notwithstanding our order
to Smyrna, only 344 dollars are paid. We beg that the rest may
be made good to him. [Levant papers, Vol. IV., pp. 264-5.]
Levant Company to Spencer Bretton. We have not written to
you since 17 Sept.; yours of 8 Aug., 22 Oct., and 17 Nov. are to
hand, and your treasurer's account ; we are glad you are satisfied
with the gratuities ordered you, and have quitted your pretences to
allowance for house rent and minister's diet ; we hope when your
accounts are perused they will be so moderate as to content us,

noWithstanding incidental charges, such as the ill custom begun by
Morat Bassa, of visiting that port with his galleys, of which, if we
' may not be wholly eased, we desire to undergo it at as easy charge
as possible.
We note your appointment of a successor to Jeifery Keble as
chancellor, with the advantages you expect from the change ; you
may make trial of him,
Your trouble in receiving our dues, through the course taken of
entering goods in one name and giving bills of lading in another,
we will reform, and shaU oblige the. pursers of ships to deliver us
manifests of their lading on their departure hence. Meanwhile, see
punctual satisfaction of the bonds there given for 2| dollars
per cloth, unless those concerned produce certificates from our
husband that they have cleared here.
We are not content with your account of the lading of the Mary
Rose, on which we gave so express order for and you so resolute a
■ promise of the broke, and yet you comply rather with the private
desire of those offenders than our order, which how late soever
made, is now no novelty ; this want of execution is the principal
means of encouraging persons to unjust dealings in defrauding us,
and of their mean esteem of our power, which is really sufficient
to bear you out. in executing our orders. Therefore suffer us not
to be injured either by slighting your own and our power, or by
the loss of consulage and brokes, whether on goods or money
brought thither, wherein we are greatly wronged, to the conti-
nuance of our debts. We insist on this in respect of the large
quantities of cloth laden on the Prosperous and Batchelor, bound
for that port, beside another for Constantinople, of which you will
receive a particular from our husband, to guide you in the collection
of duties on those fairly entered here, and on the rest which escaped
payment, on all of which you are to receive our consulage extra-
ordinary in lieu of the leviation. Our debts being cleared, we would
have this invested in silks or some good commodities, and sent
hither for lessening our debts at home, but the extraordinary con-
sulage is to be laid down only by such as are not creditors to the
company ; those that are must be charged with the value thereof
hither to be placed to tlieir accounts, and a list shall be sent you of
who are and who are not creditors. We also send you a list of the
rates of consulage, tonnage, and freight, as newly settled, which you
are to observe.
We desire you to satisfy the arrears due to John Abney on his ac-
count as treasurer at Constantinople, which we hear is not cleared yet.
We take exception against these particulars in your account, viz.,
1 46 and 173 dollars expended at meetings in 5 Nov., and at the
publishing of peace with the Dutch. As we have expressly for-
bidden the charge of feasting to be put to our account, we have
disallowed them, as also 150 dollars on account for house rent.

emploj'ment as treasurers, and desire your care in collection of duties
on board the several ships laden for Smyrna. A particular of the
duties entered and paid has been transmitted to the consul, that
2^ dollars per cloth may be better levied on the rest. We also
send you the new rates of ordinary consulage, and of tonnage and
freight to be used in future.
To clear off our debts, we have ordered an extraordinary consulage
on all goods, both in and out, to go on the credit of the company's
creditors and to be paid down by the rest.
We also desire your notice of certain exceptions to the last
account, viz., 150 dollars for the consul's half house rent to Aug.
1654 ; 146 dollars spent at the publication of peace with the Dutch,
and 173 spent on Nov. 5 ; all are disallowed by a court on a former
resolution against such frivolous expenses, which we desire you to
put an end to. [Levant Papers, Vol. IV. ., pp. 268-9.]

Protector. Never assisted the late King or his son in their wars
against Parliament ; was sequestered on a groundless information
in 1646, but discharged by the Committee for Sequestrations.
Being lately summoned to Leicester by the Major-General of the

[April 15.] 54. Statement of the case of Eliz. Salmon's children's claim to
lands, &c. in Chatham.
John Dulling devised by will, 26 Oct. 1638, Westcourt manor in
Gillingham and Chatham, Kent, purchased of Sir Rich. Leveson to
Eliz. Salmon, his daughter, and by several mortgages it passed for
1,650J. to Geo. Bowers, since whose death, his son and heir George
has held the estate, but having committed high treason with John
Gerard and others, is fled, Eliz. Salmon, now dead, conveyed her
interest therein to her children, John, Bonner, Dulling, and Eliz.
Salmon, aU of age, and they offer to sell it reasonably to his High-
ness for the State, the manor and lands lying near Chatham dock.
With order thereon by the Protector that the Treasury Commissioners
inquire into the title, and contract with the parties for the transfer
of the premises. 17 Jan. 1655-6. [1 page.]
[April 15.] 55. Report by the said Commisaioners that no contract should be
made therefor, because : (1.) By the Ordinance none are to be prose-
cuted for high treason except during the year, and Bowers is not
yet prosecuted.
(2.) Before his treason, he conveyed the premises to his mother,
Anne Bowers, for 1,000 years. If the title could be proved, the
premises would be useful for the navy. There are presumptions that

[April 15.] 57. Petition of the French and Dutch Protestant strangers in or
near Hatfield Chace level, in cos. York, Lincoln, and Notts, to the
Protector. Being unable to exercise our religion at home, we fled
here, and had a church erected at Sandtoft, where we worshipped
20 years ; but the inhabitants of the Isle of Axholme have
barbarously destroyed our corn, houses, and mills, exposing us to
cold and famine ; they then took out the doors, windows, seats, and
pulpit from our church, but finding we still frequented it, they made
it a slaughter house and buried carrion in it. We still meeting
there, they came with Dan. Nodell, their solicitor, and drove us
away by force.
On an order from the Council of State and writ of assistance
from the Exchequer, for possession of part of the controverted
lands to the participants of the improvements, Nath. Beading, a
participant, ordered the cleansing and repairing of the church.
On 21 Jan. last, Nodell and the rest came and threatened to pull
the church down, and sell the stone and timber. We proved this
before a Committee of the Long Parliament, but the order for the
trial of the rioters not being executed, we are impoverished by long
attendance, and they have been animated to these latter villanies.
We beg renewal of an order to free us from their violence, and
provision for our former sufferings and future safety, having fled

April 15 ? 58. Petition of Josias Dewy to the Committee of his Highness's
Council about gunpowder. Holds Chilworth powder mills, which
having certainty of water, can work in a draught, when other mills
are stopped. Supplied 150 barrels weekly during the Dutch war,
and sent 1,800 to Portsmouth, but has not sent any to the Tower
for nearly 2 years. All that he has made new has been Tower
proof, and some of it has gone to sea 3 times and proved good ; but
if the old powder repaired by him does not hold, be cannot help it.
Unless he has work given to keep his mills going, must demolish
them, which would be a great loss to the State. Bad powder can
only be mended by drawing the petre from it ; if sold again here, the
merchant men might buy it, which would be a great loss to them
and the nation. [| page.]
April 15 ? 59. Petition of John Freeman to the Committee of Council for
powder. Has been a powder maker 4 years, and been at great
charge in building mills, stores, &c„ for which he was promised
some satisfaction, but has received none. During the war with
Holland, supplied good powder. Has 2,500L due for powder supplied
since Feb. 1654-55, and will be undone unless speedily paid. His
new powder was as good as possible, but the old and Hamburg
powder could not be made so good unless the petre had been drawn
off, and then it would have cost 40s. to repair a barrel, whereas he
only received I7s. ; but the Committee forced the Hamburg powder
on him, and would not pass his debenture unless he would take it
to mend. The powder now reproved is tried with a high proof,
though made long since and is serviceable, though not Tower proof.
Begs payment, and dismissal from further attendance. [1 page.]
April 15 ? 60. Petition of John Freeman to the Admiralty Commissioners.
Has never dealt unfaithfully with the State, and could not have
maintained his family had he not another trade by sea as a merchant.
Has been a powder maker 4 years, but gained nothing thereby, the
mills being 6 times blown up, so he and his partners have had to
borrow 1,200?. at interest, and cannot go on unless paid. Always
double refined their powder, and ordered the master workman to
make it good, never stinting him. Made 28^ bari'els of a ton of
double or treble refined petre. Protested against the Hamburg
powder, knowing it was made of bad materials, and could not be
made good, and the master gunner said it would be better cast into
the Thames, for the stores would not be clear of it for 20 years.
All the mischief has been through this powder, and some wetted

with salt water. Also to the effect of part of the preceding. Begs
not to be obliged to mend the powder for nothing, nor to have a
divident made upon him for what was formerly spent. [2 pages.l
April 15 ? 61. Petition of Eob. Davis, Thos. Carter, Chris. Eyless, and John
Knapp to the Committee of Council on the business of gunpowder.
In 1653, when the State had great need of gunpowder, they spent
large sums in making it ; three of them being ignorant of the art of
making it, contracted with the other, Rob. Davis, on better terms
than he had from others, and he made new powder and repaired the
old, at far greater rates than now, for several years together, he
having all materials allowed. Davis has done his best without
fraud to make the powder, and to remake what was found not
Tower proof What has lately been found defective is what they
got from Hamburg ; what they have made new they warrant to
last 2 years. They have supplied none since 1653, except a little
in 1654, which is good ; so far from defrauding the State, they have
been great losers in what they have undertaken. Beg not to be
altogether discouraged from service. [1 page.J
April 15 ? 62. Petition of Wm. Molins, Rob. Davis, Abel Richardson, and
Thos. Carter to the Admiralty Commissioners. Some of the powder
delivered in by them has continued good since 1653 and 1654, but
will not now bear the same strength of proof as when first delivered,
and yet they are required to change it for as much new powder.
Disbursed large sums in erecting mills when the State stood in much
need of powder, and had 2,000 barrels of Hamburg and some
decayed powder delivered them, which they could not make as
good as new, and this they believe to be the powder that proves
defective ; they declared beforehand, as did the ordnance officers,
that it would not last. Think they should only make good as
many barrels as are in excess of the Hamburg and other decayed
powder. ' [1 page.]
April 15?- 63. Petition of Wm. Molins and Abel Richardson to the Com-
mittee for powder. Having a commission to make English salt-
petre, and having contracted to make it into powder at 30 barrels
the ton, we entered into partnership with John Jarvis, of Casholton
Milk, to make it, having then no skill therein, and supposed the
undertaking was fully provided for. But on second proofj a defect
appears in the powder delivered. We always offered to exchange
any saltpetre against which the workmen objected, and to bear our
part of the waste of double refining. Jarvis provided the other
ingredients, and the work was managed by him, Lewis Fassam, and
John Pepper, who now beg to acquit themselves by pretending they
were forced into an engagement to which they consented willingly.
We offer to repair our proportion of defective powder, saving our
remedy at law against Jarvis, and beg a favourable construction of
complaints against us by those who wish to free themselves.

Molins, who are represented to be most guilty, acquaint them

Dewy ; his poivder generally good, of 805 barrels delivered

fective. The State oives him large sums, for want of which
he has suffered much, and he has repaired a great quantity
of powder.

Thos. Garter and partners ; of 385 tried, 232 defective.
So^ne of them plead ignorance, and transfer the fault to
Davis, the partner who managed the work.
Dan. Judd is one of the most guilty ; of 261 barrels
tried 139 were defective.
Wm,. Molins and partners willingly exposed the State
to hazard by making the powder of bad materials ; of
384 tried, 293 were defective.

date thereof, and to do all necessary to put the premises into

Plumleigh, Potter, and Heaton, and the master of the Constant
Warwick. The Friendship of Plymouth, bound to Ireland with salt
and deals, was taken ofi" Scilly by Nich. Hayes, an Irishman holding
a commission from James, Duke of York, who put his quarter-
master, Harry Wade, and 6 others, 4 being desperate Irish-
men, into her, with an order to carry her to St. Sebastian's for
condemnation. Wade, who had formerly been pilot of a vessel of
London bound to Portugal, which the Bresters had taken, wanting
water on the way to St. Sebastian's, sent two of the Irishmen in a
boat to one of the islands, and when they were gone, seized and
bound the 2 other Irishmen, bound these on their return, and when
the wind was fair, gave them a boat to go on shore, and then put
for Plymouth, where they now are. There are several of the enemy
both within and without the Channel, so that a great stop is put
to trade. The merchants from all places crave convoy ; I supply it
as far as I can, but more vessels are needed. I suppose you feel
the Spanish war already in the Customs, and it will be felt much
more if trade is not secured. [2 pages.] Annexing,

2. Aid. Fowke and the 2 sheriffs of London, being at the door,
were called in, and said that the Lord Mayor and court of freemen
had sent them to say that there are 300 sail of ships at Newcastle to
take in coal, but they are hindered by some new imposition of the
hostmen, which has already raised the price of coal here, and unless
quickly remedied, will prove very prejudicial to the city and
especially to the poor. They therefore pray some course that
the ships may be speedily despatched with coal at last year's rates,
and the new imposition examined into.
8. Order — on report from the Committee on the petition of the
captains, masters, and owners of ships trading to Newcastle for coals,
complaining that the price on the river Tyne, which was lOd. a
chaldron, has in the two last years been raised to 12d. ; and that the
fare for each keel carrying 8 chaldrons to the ship has been raised
by the hostmen from 7s. to 9s., and since to 12s. a keel, and by a
resolution given to the petitioners on April 3, has been again
raised to 21s. 4d, which will advance the price of coal 4s. 8d. a
chaldron, and thus many ships be unladen, &c., and the coal trade
much obstructed, — that the corporation of hostmen be enjoined to
allow all ships trading to Newcastle for coal to lade for the next
6 months, or while the matter is still depending before Council, at
the same rate of coal and fare of keel as in April 1655 ; and that the
hostmen come or send deputies to Council on May 21st next, that
the matter may be settled, when the traders are also to appear with
their complaints, and any gentlemen owners of mines concerned
may come or send, if they have anything to offer. Annexing,
73. Debate between Capt. Jackson and the oastmen or hostmen of
Newcastle, as to their right to demand 12d. for a chaldron
on coals. The charge is upheld hy the Mayor, &c., of New-
castle, for the sake of upholding the town, and preserving
the collieries, and the river.
No coals can be sold without a hostman, and they
prevent bad coals being sent abroad. [1^ pages.]
4. The Admiralty Commissioners to appoint a convoy for the
ships now at Newcastle for coals, and the shipmasters to be
enjoined to come away together, that they may be secured to the
Port of London, or whatever port they belong to.

your late order, I convoyed all the vessels ready for the Downs,

near the Isle of Wight, I met the same pirate I engaged with on the
11th ; I bade my convoys keep together and stand to their course,
and spread my colours, and we exchanged shots, but I thought it
best to keep with my charge, as there was a vast disproportion
between us in reference to force ; nevertheless, if he had followed, I
would have done mj'' utmost for defence and security of my convoys,
but he did not attempt it. I met Capt. Whitehorn plying west-
ward near Dover Road, and he declared to me the necessity for his
proceedings, and demanded my aid in carrying on the present expedi-
tion. I freely gave my consent, being only too glad to do anything

gentle dealing does best with him. There has been a sad accident

borough, Downs. ^ fire ship, 3 merchantmen which he convoyed, and several English-
men and Hamburghers, as also 4 or 5 Biscaneers bound for Bilboa,
who parted with him near the Bay. He was very submissive ; I
kept him under my command 6 or 7 hours with his whole fleet,
although it was very thick weather. I did not think fit to engage
with him in regard to his numbers, as there was no ship that I
could challenge as an Ostender or Dunkirker, and he said he had
none. He would not part with his convoys unless I forced him.
Cornelius Everson is now at Cadiz, and will be homeward bound
with several ships in 3 weeks. Only 2 of the plate ships have
come, 3 having foundered at sea, and they daily look for 18 sail,
which may be the fleet of 26 or 28 sail seen by the Hunter off the

I am very unwilling to do. I hope you will not cause
the spilling of any more blood, and do what you cannot

ships under your convoy have plate and money for our
enemies, which I cannot let pass. 19 April 165Q. [^page.]

I cannot allow so long as we have ships and men ; I entreat
you to be careful not to go beyond your orders, and to
avoid the shedding of any blood, or breaking the happy
peace existing ; I will pledge my word that we have no
Spanish ships or goods in our fleet ; I am sure the Lord
Protector would not give orders to stop our free ships.

April 19. 86. Capt. Hen. Hatsell to Col. Jno. Clerke. Being at Exeter on
Ashburton. public business, and to meet Capt. Pley respecting the survey at Dai-t-
mouth, I heard of the great loss sustained by the taking of Beare, who
wa.s deemed a champion of "Weymouth, or of Lyme, where he lived,
without firing a shot. It seems strange that those who were
employed as factors and master should put such a value (8,000Z.)
under convoy of such a vessel as the Hopewell pink, knowing the
many men-of-war there were in the Channel. To prevent such losses,
I suggest that for the future all vessels which trade to France be

forbidden to go or come without convoy ; that convoy be allowed
for Newhaven, St. Malo, and Morlaix 4 times yearly, and 3 times
for Nantes, Rochelle, Bordeaux, and thereabouts, and for other places
as shall be thought fit. This would induce the traders to go and
come together, and also be a benefit to the State in the Customs and
Excise, which sustain great losses by those that flirt to and again in
small vessels, and deceive them of most thereof. By these means
you would quickly lessen the enemy. The convoys to be granted
ought to be such as can go and return safely.
The Sorlings and Bryer have returned from convoying the vessels
for St. Malo and Morlaix, and want victuals, but knowing they were
wanted on their return to convoy some vessels from Plymouth, Dart-
mouth, and Exeter to Newhaven, with goods valued at 20,000?. or
more, as also from those places to London, to the value of 10,000?.
or more, I left orders for their supply before going to Exeter. I
intended the Bryer and Truelove to convoy those to Newhaven,
and the Sorlings those to the Downs ; but as the Pembroke has
put into the Sound, with the Marigold and other victuallers under
her convoy, I purpose to join her to the Sorlings, there still being
many of the enemies' men-of-war in the Channel, and to give the
charge of the Marigold and the others to Capt. Potter, to convoy
them to the Soundings. Particulars of ships. [2 pages.]
April 21. 87. Capt. Hen. Ha tsell to the Admiralty Commissioners. There is
Plymouth, a Captain of a man-of-war of St. Sebastian's in the Castle, and I
will keep him safe until further order, as Capt. Sydrach Blake is
still a prisoner at St. Sebastian's. When at Exeter, I saw an order
of Council for setting at liberty Beach's wife, who undertook
to procure the enlargement of Capt. S. Blake, but there can be
little dependence placed upon her, unless she has given security.
Beach boasts that ho walked out of prison undiscovered, by putting
on a suit of black and a periwig that his wife brought him. I hear
from Capts. Morris and Parker, lately returned from convoying some
vessels to St. Malo and Morlaix, that they spoke at St. Malo with
Mr. Beere, who was taken while under convoy of the Hopewell pink ;
they ofifered, if he would accompany them with 6 or 7 others they had
under convoy to Morlaix, to see him safely back to England.
As our stock is diminished and the enemies encouraged to greater
mischief by the riches they take, and most of this caused by the
carelessness of the masters of merchant vessels, I propose that all
those who trade with France (Marseilles and Toulon excepted) be
inhibited either to go or come without convoy, and that convoy be
allowed to those trading from Morlaix eastward 4 or 5 times a year,
and from Nantes, Eochelle, &c., 3 times a year, by which means the
enemy on the coast will be deprived of their greatest hopes. The
Morlaix, St. Malo, and Newhaven vessels are generally small, and the
Ostenders and Dunkirkers being the same, lie about the rocks
hidden, so that few can escape them without convoy.

edition to the Antwerp copy. The Rome (?) copy is printed with
the differences of the copy at St. James's, and for the Chaldee para-
phrase of that copy, that of Broxdorf, reserving to the end a list of
the differences. The Jllthiopic of the Psalter and Canticle is added.
The intent is to add it in the New Testament., translated into Latin,
also Jonathan's Targum on the Law, and the Persian, with their
translations in Latin, though not in columns, because there were so
many before. The government is in Dr. "Walton, who has for the
Hebrew and Chaldee Mr. Clarke, for the Syriac and Arabic Mr.
Castle, with a third for the Greek and Latin. The purpose is to give
what England affords for the verifying of the several copies ; so the
Greek of Albus and of Antwerp is compared, and the differences listed.
In the Syriac we have written copies, which are compared to the
same purpose. If M. Capel move anything to make the work more

portion from Thos. Manley, which oats being 1,116 quarters, the Com-

April 24. 96-, 97. Petition of Capt. John Baskett, late governor of Cowes
Castle, Isle of Wight, to the Protector. I was one of the first that
took arms in 1642, and was not the least in securing the Isle of
Wight. When the Earl of Essex was defeated in the West, 5 companies
were commanded out of the island to relieve Plymouth, but the
others threw down their arms, and I carried my company into Ply-
mouth, and did good service in the siege. I mortgaged my estate for
600Z. to raise my company, and maintained myself in the service.
I did singular service at Bridgewater, Bristol, Hereford, &c., and
when Col. Birch deserted the engagement in 1647, I came away to
the army, was with Col. Hammond in the Isle of Wight aU the time
the King was there, for Sd. a day, and though I brought money to
redeem my estate, my charges were such that they brought me
further into debt, and it is still unredeemed. I was most instru-
mental in preventing the King's escape, and bringing him to justice.
I have ever since been faithful, and spent 200Z. on the garrison, which
I cannot get back, yet I am without cause put from my command,
and a most inconsiderable person put in my place, to the utter
undoing of me and my family, and I presume without your know-
ledge. I beg restoration to my command at Cowes, though but
for a month, that my honour may be vindicated, and then I shall
be willing to serve elsewhere ; also repayment of the 200Z., and leave
to speak with you. With reference thereon to Lambert, Fleetwood,

Beere, late commander of the Malo merchant, now prisoner

up his ship without the least resistance, though the Hope-
well "pink was coming up to his defence ; also by persisting
in sailing with a weak convoy, though 2 frigates offered
him a stronger one, if he would sail with them to Morlaix
and thence to England. That the Commissioners think the
exchanging of nnerchant seamen for those of men-of-war
taken is prejudicial, as it makes traders go into desperate
adventures, when they can be so soon redeemed, and
recruits the enemy's strength.
The Commissioners also desire a more particular intimation
of Council's pleasure about the quality and force of the
vessel to be provided for the West Indies. [1 page.']-

surprised English merchant ships laden with goods, and committed
several abuses, to the damage of individuals and the prejudice of
trade; — for timely redress whereof, since, by an Act of April 1650,
all English mariners serving abroad under any foreign prince were to
■withdraw and return to England within 4 months, and not take foreign
service again without licence, under pain of death ; — that his Highness
be advised to declare by proclamation that no native of England,
Scotland, or Ireland, found bearing arms against the Commonwealth

Charles or James Stuart, shall, on being taken by a Commonwealth
ship, receive quarter ; and that the Generals at sea and Admiralty

have notice to prepare their vessels together and go under one
convoy, but two or three vessels will be needful for their security,
as they are numerous. The 5 frigates are now gone as convoys to
Newhaven or London, but will return to their stations between
Portland and Land's End

If vessels may not go without convoy, there will be 20 ready at
once, and then on notice they should be taken to St. Malo or
Morlaix, and fetched back when reladen. There are now several
richly laden at Morlaix to come back, for which convoy is earnestly
desired, and there will soon be some at St. Malo, richly laden, as
this is the chief time of the year for cloth. The Dunkirk and
Ostend men-of-war are probably lying in wait for them. I shall
write to the merchants not to stir without convoy, and send the
Sorlings for them on her return. Plymouth is the most convenient
place for a rendezvous for Topsham and Dartmouth vessels trading
to Nantes or Bordeaux. The ships for Newhaven are rich cloth
ships, and go 4 or 5 times a year, those from Spain, Portugal,
and the Straits only twice, and the frigates ranging the coast might
convoy them. [2 fages^
April 28. 118. Capt. Eich Pettock to the Admiralty Commissioners. While
Dunkirk Prison, attending, as ordered, the Broadhempson and Hastings fishermen at

with whom I was engaged for an hour, and after my sails and
rigging had been shot away, and several of my men were wounded,
he boarded us with 100 men, and we surrendered, and were carried
to Dunkirk, where I and my company of 37 persons are now
prisoners. The Lords of Dunkirk will release the rest, but keep me
prisoner till they receive the same number of their men from England.
The Lords say that there are 2 of their captains with all their com-
panies in York prison, and that if these are set at liberty, they will
ever hereafter set at liberty all the English they have in Flanders.

April ? 126. Petition of Capt. Wm. Beck to the Protector and Council.
I deserted merchandizing to my great prejudice, and engaged with the

doing much service, and have commanded several vessels and been
in 3 engagements with the Dutch. That service being over, I re-
turned to the merchandizing, and bought and freighted the Hopeful
William for St. Sebastian's. There she was seized last August by
the ministers of the King of Spain, and I stripped of all, on pretext
of damages done to the King by English ships in the West Indies.
By this I lost 8001., and my losses by servants, clothes, instruments,
charges, debts, and interest since are 8001. more. Being in great
extremity, I beg an order to the Admiralty Judges to set out a man-
of-war to seize ships'belonging to the King of Spain, till I have
repaired my losses. [1 page.] Annexing,

Tlie I have ordered the Redhorse pink to ply off the North Foreland
^^'do^s?'"' """i*^ >^® fishermen, and sent the Pembroke with a convoy for
Calais, and then to ply in the Narrow, until the Amsterdam ships
are ready, and sent the Sparrow to Dover to clean, I hear from
Mr. "White at Dover that the packet boat has brought over 36 men
belonging to the Cat pink, and that the captain is detained until
another is sent in exchange. The ship that took her had 22 guns
and 180 men ; she defended herself very bravely until her masts
were shot by the board, and then she was overpowered by the
number of men. I wUl distribute these 36 men in the ships. The
Hastings and Brighton fishermen are much dismayed at the loss of
the pink, and none will go out without two convoys. I will content
them if possible by sending another vessel to the Redhorse pink,
and shall endeavour the same for Rye and Hastings. When more
frigates come, I will keep two in the Narrow, and do my best to
protect trade. I have much to do with vessels about convoys.

said difference, his Highness and Council, considering that the King
of Spain has not only made declaration and done open acts of
hostility against these nations, but has seized the goods of the
English in his dominions, and imprisoned them, think it just that
seizures should be made in the Admiralty Court of all goods and
proceeds of goods ordered to be restored to the King of Spain's
subjects, and that they should be confiscated, according to the course
of that Court in cases of universal reprisal ; and his Highness's
advocate is to move the said Court for the said seizures, and the

due to me for service as captain and major against the late King.
Being governor 22 weeks of Poltimore garrison, before Exeter,
I spent for it 2001. and received no allowance. I was the first
prisoner taken up in Cornwall, and was 7 months imprisoned, losing
3001. by the King's party. Since the reducing of Cornwall, I have
lost 1,500L by pirates at sea. I have shown my good affection by
acting as Commissioner of Assessments 5 years, justice of peace, and
Commissioner for ejecting scandalous Ministers. During the rebel-
lion at Salisbury, I got 150 horse and foot in a day's time, well
armed, to oppose the rebels and prevent others joining them. I

books, evidences, records, • and bonds about that revenue in his
custody. He was adjudged to be sent to the Fleet for 4 insufficient
answers to our bill, and for refusing to deliver up the books, &c.,
but he has concealed himself, and he prints and publishes scandalous
papers, to obstruct us in receipt of the revenue, and to affright
ministers from payment of their first fruits to us. Also by having
the bonds in his hands, he procures first fruits to be paid to him.
Thus the heads of the Universities, to whom they are chiefly re-
served, cannot receive their augmentations. We beg your assistance
to bring him to conformity, and obtain the books, &c. [1 page.']

Simon de Herara, to whom the goods and ship were consigned. There
we were forcibly taken into the port by a bark, and the captain of the
castle committed us 1 0 days prisoners, without food or beds. He
also boarded the ship, and though no resistance was made, wounded
several of the men, and brought the ship into harbour, where it
still remains. I begged his testimony how the ship was taken,
and restoration of clothes, books, and papers ; also payment of the
freight towards our maintenance, which was refused, and we
hardly escaped with our lives. I beg that as some Spaniards
in London refuse to pay freights for their goods which I carried
over, and I suspect that they designed to betray me, as I was
stopped before the embargo, and 8 miles from any harbour, I
may have satisfaction from estates of the King of Spain's subjects
here on my discovery thereof; or employment, being experienced in
the language, or letters of marque, or some relief. With reference
thereon to the Admiralty Commissioners. 18 March 1655-6. [I sheet]

May 8. 17. Thos. Pointer to the Navy Commissioners. Those in the fleet
The Speaker, regret being idle. When we left England we expected to have done
a iz. gpgg^^ things, and should have done but for slackness and false
intelligence. The Spaniard keeps his fleet in, is strengthening his
garrisons, and does not intend making any attempts upon us, but
merely tries to weary us out, and we, with our present strength, are
not able to molest him. We are too self-conceited and selfish. Men
are troubled for want of prizes, but not that the work of God does
not go on, and that we do no service against our enemy, one of the
main supporters of the whore of Babylon. England's glory must be
performed by England's self-denial.
The Portugal begins to be very jealous of us, and is afraid of his
Brazil fleet, which is expected home in six weeks. He has denied
the building of an English church in Lisbon, as the Pope and
Jesuits will not consent, and no men are allowed to go further on
shore than the watering place. The fleet is in good condition, and
men healthy. We are expecting ships from Holland, laden with
munition, and 2 great Holland merchantmen are stayed on suspicion.
The English fleet is much troubled by .3 gallies that come out
of Cadiz every morning in calm weather, and as they keep beyond
the guns' range, there has been a great waste of powder and shot
on then; without anything being done. [1^ pagea.l

Calander will order you credit if you want ; he will send your goods

that the Cardinal is fled to Havre de Grace, and that the Parisians
are ungovernable ; also that the Swedes are worsted, which troubles
us not a little. The provost was here, but he has forgotten to write,

May 9. 19. Petition of John Frederick, alderman of London, to the
Protector. I was ordered to pay the value of the 11 bars of silver
into the Exchequer [see 5 March and 18 Dec. 1655], which I have
not done, because I claim to be the first discoverer, and made it
known to you by your proctor and Col. Cock, and therefore I hope
the usual favour of a moiety, considering my loss in buying the ship.
I beg you to review the Admiralty report, and the narrative given
in by me annexed thereto ; also I beg a copy of Lady Darcy's petition,
and a hearing before Council. With reference to the Privy Council,
29 April 1656. [1 page.] Annexing,
19. I. Statement before Ri. Tomlyns that on 29 Feb. 1655-6, Nath.
Hearne deposed before the Barons of Exchequer, that the
Anne, formerly the Mary of St. Malo, being cast away
about Birling in Dec. 1654, the oivner lost 354Z., the loss
being the greater because the mariners, having some

silver to secure, were diverted from securing tJie vessel.
[Parchment.']
19. II. Notes on the case. Aid. Frederick waives any claim of his
own to the silver in the interest of the State, though he
thinks he paid for it in the price of the ship, for Lady
Barcy's statement that he bought it cheap is untrue. The
information which Frederick gave to his Highness
preceded in time that of Lady Barcy, and therefore there
is no colour that she should have any part of the value,
which was 2821. 3s. 2d., but the expenses, 291. 15s. 6d., left
a balance of 2521. 7s. 8d. [1 page; see 5 March and

May 9. 20. Petition of the inhabitants of West Ardesley, alias Woodkirk
parish, to the justices of the peace for the West Riding of co. York.
The fair has been yearly kept on 2 days in harvest time, and was
formerly for woollen cloth ; but since the settling of a cloth market
at Waketield many years ago, no cloth has been brought there, so
that it is now a tumultuous meeting of idle persons, where there
have been lives lost, and the labourers neglect the harvest. The
wares, except a few poor horses, are only peddling goods, which
may be bought any market day at Leeds or Wakefield. We beg
the suppression of the fair. 30 signatures, 4 being by mark. With
note from Thomas Lord Savile and Earl of Sussex to Mr. Tempest,
that though the fair is ancient, and belongs to him by charter, the
justices can do as they please, for he would not have his profit stand
against the good of the country. [1-|- pages.]
May 9. Pres. Lawrence to Lord Savile. His Highness and Council having
Whitehall, received the above petition against the fair, doubt not that you, as
lord of the place, will dispense with your own interest, and beg
you to forbid the fair, and to signify this in the nearest market
towns, and request that there may be no more meetings on pretence
of 'the said fair. Approved in person. [/. 77, pp. 110, 846.]

merchants of the Stillj'ard, London, for Paul Keate, master of the

shewing that the said 4 ships of Hamburg, being designed
for Lisbon and Porte a-Port, came 18 days since by contrary
winds to the Isle of Wight, and having paid the usual duties
for lights and anchorage, the wind turning favourable, they
weighed anchor to continue their proposed voyage ; but as they
came past Yarmouth Castle, Capt. Wells, captain of a privateer that
had weighed anchor with them when they first set sail, ordered
them to come aboard him, which they readily did, and shewed their
sea passes, letters, and papers, clearly showing they were bound for
Portugal only ; but nevertheless he detained them and still detains
both masters and ships, though the latter are laden in part with
corn and other perishable goods ; — that the Admiralty Judges and
Dr. Walker order the security given by Wells in the Admiralty
Court to be put in suit ; and if the Admiralty Commissioners
find the statements of the petition to be true, they are to take
speedy means to release the ships, and to consider the damage
sustained, that Wells may give satisfaction for it. Approved in person.

Protector. In 1643 I was taken to be in the plot of Waller,
Tompkins, and Challoner, only for knowing of it, and sequestrated
till August 1 645, when to free myself, I compounded. In your late
declaration, you say that if any who have adhered to the late King's
party can say with truth that they have changed their interest,
and wiU live peaceably in future, they shall be dealt with accord-
ingly. I have long lived peaceably and paid all taxes, and never
bore arms ; I was not at all concerned in the late insurrection, and
my livelihood depends on my ci-edit, which if involved with that
party, will be ruined. I therefore beg to be freed from the present
proceedings against delinquents, and to carry on my profession.

regulation of that ancient and great trade of clothing, that they
should continue a corporation, and that none others should trade
into the parts limited by their charter on pain of forfeiture of
goods, provided they excluded none from their fellowship who desired
it by way of redemption, on paying 1001. if they be free and
inhabitants of London, or if not, 501.
The fellowship is and has been authorized to select places in
Germany and the Netherlands, with consent of the chief governors
thereof, for their residence and mart, and since the late peace with
the States General, they have chosen Dordrecht in Holland for their
mart and staple, and have entered into a treaty with it by our
consent. We therefore, with the advice of our Council, ratify their
charters and treaty, and require all the merchant adventurers in
Holland to remove to Dordrecht, and carry on their trade there only.
We also forbid the export of the woollen manufactures of England,
Scotland, or Ireland, to any other towns in Germany or Holland

examine all claims thereon, allow such as were charged before
sequestration, and issue orders for payment of quit rents and issues,
with arrears since 24 Dec. 1649.
Upon this we made out their respective claims before the said
Commissioners, and have been at great expense in their prosecution,

Commissioners, the County Sequestration Commissioners forbear
hearing claims, and thus we are deprived of our just rights. We
beg that commissioners may be appointed to hear and determine
our claims, and that their orders may be observed by the revenue
officers in the counties: With reference thereon to Council.

May 16. 35. Petition of Sir Thos. Barker to the Protector. On 10 June
1643, I was taken by you at Lowestoft, and imprisoned on sus-
picion of design, till I proved on appeal to the House of Commons
that I came there that morning at request of my brother, to take
him to my house 12 miles off, and had only been | an hour when
you came with some forces ; that I was never there before, and knew
no one there, on which I was discharged Aug. 1653. Yet the Com-
missioners for Decimation in Norfolk will decimate me for this
business, unless I get a discharge from you. I have never been a
delinquent, and do not come under your late declaration, therefore
I beg discharge, or suspension of decimation, till the matter is
settled. With reference thereon by the Protector to Council.

the servants and creditors, but he being ill, received nothing. In
1653, another payment was ordered by the Revenue Commissioners

He was ordered 10 nobles on attending at Com.-Gen. Whalley's
Committee at Whitehall, but has received nothing. [1 page.]

father. Sir Ant. Mansell, being much in debt, delivered me a trunk
with 1,3001., saying that he had therein provided for me, in case
he died without making further provision. Soon afterwards he
died, leaving me at 12 years old to the care of my uncle. Dr. Mansell,
who, on the importunity of Sir Thos. Lewis, of Penmark, and 3
others, lent them my money, on their written promise of repay-
ment. This money really belongs to your Highness, since your
access to the government, because my father, being outlawed, could
not dispose of his personal estate. I beg you out of charity to
grant me your interest in the 1,300?. [1 page.]

of Rectories, <&c., of 16 Oct. 1650, has removed most of the
lOOl. a year from which he was paid to other trustees, yet
they have since given him 1 51., 31, an d since his last appeal,

intended for distribution amongst many, if he is relieved
from it, many others will apply. 12 March 1655-6.

^^y tI- •^l- '^- ^0^ t° Nicholas. I rejoice that your health is better, and
Paris. that you are able to set out for Flanders, where I hope mine will
now find you without loss of time. The importance of those I
gave the Duke of York may well excuse my application that way,
as T knew no other way of sending to the King. The Duke ordered
me, and the King fortifies the command, to let him know weekly
what I have of consequence. What you say of Arrrvorer's sending
a duplicate of those letters to the King might infer levity in me,
but I had a letter for him, referring him to those letters, and it
being late when I met him, I had to leave them in his hands ;
if he transcribed them, you must not blame me, nor suppose I
imparted it to many because I did to him and the Duke of York.
I have one letter from Hopton since his arrival in England. He
and Pile are to follow their business together in the country. I hear
nothing of Mart. Clifford and the rest of the perjured promisers.
My wife has taken great pains to follow them, and having no one
else to write, has ventured to write to you herself, and send you

Strafford is going to live in Lancashire, with his wife's mother, and
if the King has any business there, I can procure a servant of Lady
Strafford's mother, and a confidant of her husband's, to carry the
King's commands to Lady Strafford to serve him there. I wrote
a fortnight since to Lord Gerard about a young gentleman here.
Lady Strafford's brother, whose mother wants me to have his gover-
nance, and if the King travels, she would send him with him in a
good equipage. Ask Gerard if he had my letter, and let me know
his pleasure.
This King is said to go to the campaign next week. Col. Lockhart,
the Protector's agent, whose doors here are still shut close, attends
him in the army. It is believed the levies in England for this
country will come slowly, those for Sweden being more important,
and hardly procured, and the Protector recruiting his army, out of
which, and some levies formerly made, he has sent in both fleets
near 20,000 men, so that it is now difficult to raise men as well as
money. I hear that Cromwell is much troubled that he cannot get
to know more of the King's affairs. Lambert's clerk is here. I
want to know your mind about him. [2 pages ; italics are cyphers

May 22. 43. Petition of the master, wardens, and company of gardeners
of London to the Protector. King James, by patents of 3 and 14
James, incorporated the gardeners within 6 miles of London, and
they drew up regulations for themselves, which were approved by
the lord chancellor, lord treasurer, and chief justice ; and the late
King, 10 Car., by proclamation inhibited several abuses which
had crept into the trade. Yet these regulations have long been
contemned by persons who have never served as apprentices, nor
been admitted to the company, yet use the trade without knowledge,
and sell useless and corrupt trees, plants, and seeds, so that the
trade is injured, and many who have been apprentices are without
a livelihood. Beg that as their trade, if well ordered, is useful
in producing food, and setting thousands of poor to work, their
charters may be confirmed, and their opponents not allowed the
privileges and authority of the company, so that those bred to it
may proceed with alacrity. [1 sheet]
[May 22.] 44. Petition of Col. Edm. Harvey, Aid. Rob. Tichbome, and
Mark Hildesley, and of Hildesley as executor of the late Dan.
Taylor, Commissioner of Customs, to the Protector. We have
delivered the auditors our final account, ending 25 March 1656,
which is most sad to us, as it brings us in debtors 23,000?., for which
we throw ourselves at your feet. Dan. Taylor being dead, and his
heir within age, moneys cannot be raised to pay his share without an
extent. We are the first who ever engaged to make good the whole
receipt of customs, and in times of great interception of trade with
Holland and Portugal, and prohibition of French commodities, we
yet improved the customs several hundred thousand pounds. The
rest now on our account is the whole arrear of 2,200,000?., and it
appears by the account of our predecessors, that in a less sum than
a million, 40,000?. is lost by the collectors of outports, &c., which
they were not obliged to make good. Of our debt of 23,000Z. there is
4,000?. in lands, houses, leases, and fee-farm rents of Capt. Langham's,
and 7,000?. his debts and security, and 2,000?. is still in the hands
of our port collectors, which cannot be quickly made money of. The
remaining 10,000?. will be a heavy burden to our estates if required
of us. We therefore beg leave to pay the 13,000?. to the late Navy
victuallers, and ^ of the remaining 10,000?. (of which we have paid

May 22. 46. Petition of John Taylor, scrivener of London, to the Pro-
tector, for letters patenting for 14 years his invention of a
better way of making white salt out of bay. It is commonly
powdered and engrained with iron rust, and deprived, by evapo-
ration in too violent a fire (to make it sooner precipitate), of its
best piercing qualities, and rendered apt to dissolve into water.
Has learned how to preserve these qualities. Can also so improve
earth as that it shall in a short time yield a great quantity of salt-
petre. Both inventions are advantageous, the one for the food of
the people, the other for easing the common grievance of breaking
up their floors ; but as many workmen must be employed, it will
be impossible to keep the secret of the invention. With reference,
signed by the Protector, to Council. May 1656. [1 sheet]

Council to all the ports. We understand by letters received

gone out of Dunkirk and Ostend very lately, to attempt somewhat
either upon the merchant ships or upon some place on the coast.
We therefore give you due notice to take care of yourselves, both

May 23. 50. T. Ross to [Nicholas]. I shall tell our friends in England
June 2. that you are going to the King as they will be pleased. Sir Edw.
Paris. Hyde is that correspondent of Armorer whom Hopton was ordered
by his friends to avoid, but Armorer will be unable to wrest that
business out of your hands. I shall be on my guard with him to
avoid scandal. I have sent to enquire from Pile who Halsey's man
is, and who the servant sent to you by Cromwell. Have you got
my v/ife's letter, giving you particulars of the business which Douce
is sent with to the King ?
I have enquired after Lambert's secretary, who came hither with
Cromwell's factor ; a pernicious dissembling knave he is, and shall be
used as you will have him. / spoke freely thereon to Col. Chas.
Finch here, and he has engaged his honour that if the King will
accept it as a service, he will have the man arrested by trusty
Serjeants and sent to Flanders, where the King may get out him all
he knows, and such a pledge may advantage you.
The soldiery here think the Cardinal will bring them to a battle
this year, if possible; if conqueror, will stand on his terms; if
conquered, will make himself the author of a peace so universally
desired. The English agent attends the King everywhere, but has
little satisfaction.
I never wanted a general order from our master for money,
because an ill use has been made of such things, but I want a grant
of what I can, beg from those who are willing to lend him money,
that I may serve you, and be redeemed from the chains that lie on
me. Lord Gerard promised when he left to help me therein. What
is his mind about Mr. Stanley ?
P.S. — I hear that Hopton and Pile are still in the country.
Blake is ordered to attend the return of the Portugal fleet from
Brazil. [2 pages ; italics are cyphers undecyphered.]
May 24. 51. Sir John Lowther to Williamson. I find from my son that
London, my letters to him are missing ; they commended improvement in his
style and matter, and reproved some excess in expense ; he must not
exceed the allowance of a younger brother, but I find by cousin
Northleigh that he is too much given to tennis. Tell me his faults
that I may use my authority to cross them. Be circumspect of his
carriage, and remove occasions of folly from him. I will send the
salary, and if the fruits answer our hopes, I will be mindful of you.
Can you receive a youth of 17, son of a special friend of mine, who

times imprisoned for speaking my conscience against their wicked

great disorder by the suspension of the promised proclamation to
settle their staple at Dordrecht, and the submitting the whole case
on the request of some merchants, to a re-hearing ; they could have
cleared all objections, if they could have obtained copies of those
addresses and reasons, but in " this darkness " set forth as follows : —
1. At the late treaty with Holland, they represented how they
had had a settled mart in the Netherlands since 1596.
2. Not being provided for in the Articles of Peace, they informed
you that though several towns invited them to return, it was on
condition that their privileges should be continued, when you assured
them they should not be prejudiced by the omission, referred them
to Council, and in October 1654, granted them letters to the States
General and Provincial, and to the towns of Rotterdam and Dort.
3. Last January they told you of their treaty with Dort, and you
promised them the proclamation now so impugned.
4. They have done nothing surreptitiously or hastily, for the case
has lasted since April 1654.
5. The objectors cannot pretend surprise, as the proclamation was
grounded on an order of Parliament of 1643, granted after all
opposers had been heard.
6. As this proclamation allows the plaintiffs to enter this cor-
poration, no starting hole is left them but to decline government of
the trade.
Beg consideration of the consequences of the suspension, as they
have taken leave of Rotterdam, and ordered all their factors in the
United Provinces to remove to Dort, where many have taken houses,
and put the town to great charge in providing for them. Beg that
the proclamation may take effect, and will submit to trial after-
wards. [1 sheet] Annexing,
55. I. Reasons presented by Mr. Kiffun to Council, why the

as taking away liberty of free export; abridging the
freedom of London citizens ; discouraging clothiers,

them as they please ; oppressing trade by giving the large
traders undue advantages over the inferior traders, and
limiting other countries to buy in the places and

the Scottish fines ; but in the last folio of this list [see
16 Jan. 1656] his name occurs as recommended by his
Highness and Council, with others, most of whom have
received part of their money, but he nothing ; he should
therefore have a special order for relief, having received

Pres. Lawrence to the mayor and aldermen of the corporation of
Colchester, co. Essex. His Highness and Council having received
good satisfaction of the piety and ability of Mr. Tillam, preacher at
Colchester, recommend you to appoint him and his church some
convenient place within the town to meet for their religious
exercises. [/. 77, p. 851,]
Pres. Lawrence to Lord Hen. Cromwell, Major-General of the
army in Ireland. The Protector and Council having determined to
send to Jamaica, out of Scotland and Ireland, 1,200 men, besides
officers, wish the vacancies so made not to be filled up till further
order from his Highness ; you are desired to give order accordingly,
and to have an exact account returned to Council of the time when
the men are shipped, the names and quality of their officers, and
from what regiments drawn, and the amount of their monthly pay,
according to the establishment in Ireland.
Also as by contract the State is to allow demurrage if the ships
stay at Knockfergus beyond the limited time, you are to take care
that the ships have not to wait for the men. You will hear from
Martin Noel, who manages the contract for transport, when the ships
will be at Knockfergus, and you are to appoint a fit person to
correspond with Noel. With note of a like letter, Tnutatis mutandis,

render an account to Council. [/. 77, p. 851.]
66. Isaac [Dorislaus] to Sec. Thurloe. I have sent you the 2
bills I had of John Smith. The party that is to pay Mrs. Fosset the
money knows nothing from whom it comes, and was at first un-
willing to meddle with it, saying he had no occasion to draw. I
have also taken up a bill for your friend of lOOZ. The money must
be paid on Tuesday ; pray order about it. [1 page.] Enclosing;

May 31. 67. Elizabeth, Lady Lowther, to Williamson. The great com-
mendation I hear of your ability and government makes me desirous
to commit to you my eldest son, hoping he will retract his former
errors and idleness. He will have a good estate, but much encum-
bered with debts and jointures, so that the present revenue will
only maintain him answerably to those you have already in charge.
He is at his own disposal, and therefore more likely for ruin, but
good advice may protect him ; and if he set his mind on study as
he promises, it may fortify him against all assaults, especially play,
which was his father's act, and for which he must bear the smart.
Give me your opinion of him in all things, that I may add my
power to your's to rectify defects. I hope my [step] son Richard
will yield my son all brotherly assistance. [1 page.]
May, 68. Tim. Halton to Williamson. That passage in Amaraldus
seems to me illogically put together ; an unpublished law cannot be
fulfilled, and none is obliged to believe in Christ till the law is

published, it cannot oblige, and Amaraldus will not pretend the
promulgation is made to all. Sequences therefrom. College news.

H""- list of 35 prisoners sent from York by Major-Gen. Lilburne, and of
6 from Scarborough ; I gave them all passes to go to other ports, as
they could not get into their own country from here. Mr. Pearson,
master of a Hull ship, writes from Dunkirk that he was taken with
19 merchant ships belonging to the northern coasts and carried in
there ; here is great lamentation in Hull, as the loss of that ship
involves lO.OOOL in many ventures. I hope some speedy course
will be taken for the exchange of the English prisoners there for
those in Yorkshire. [1 page.]

ports, laden with goods for their accounts, have been lately
taken by the Dunkirk and Ostend men-of-war, as they
were coming from Rotterdam and Amsterdam,, under
convoy of a Holland man-of-war, which is a great loss
and undoing both to merchants and mariners. Beg for
constant convoy for the trade to Holland, as that from
Holland is not to be relied on. [f page.]
June 2. 4, Major Wm. Burton to the Admiralty Commissioners. I will
Yarmouth, forward your letters. Capt. Robinson has revictuaUed and gone to
fetch home the rest of the northern fishers, for the owners, and the
women who had husbands there took on lamentably tilb he was
gone. The Weymouth has just brought in 5 sail of fishers. The
Pearl has gone with 200 colliers to Harwich. I have promised her
to the merchants as a convoy for their ships to Rotterdam and
Ostend. I have the lamentable cries of the women whose husbands
are prisoners in Dunkirk and Ostend, and am not able to be in quiet
in my house, so I beseech you to move the Council to make an
exchange of the prisoners whose names are sent. [|- page.]
June 2. Note of ofiers made by C. V. and Ma^ C. in Nov. 1655, to appear
at 20 days' warning in Br[istol] with 3,000 men armed, and arms
for 2,000 more, 200 to be horsed. It is the magazine of the county
arms, and there are many prisoners, but only 60 soldiers, and not
meat for one meal.
Also to surprise Gloucester] with 500, and 600 more to be ready
at the same instant to assist them at the gates, and then this place
and Bristol fort quickly to be made tenable.
If needful 2,000 of those in Bristol to march to Gloucester.
Receiving many quickening letters, I went in March to them, and
they promised at the same notice to make the troops 6,050. My
namesake goes with me* thither next week, and you shall have his
account, or send whom " you please for better confirmation.

[June 3.] 5, 6. Remonstrance of Thos. Knj'vett of Ashwellthorp, co. Norfolk,
to the Protector. According to your commands when you did me
the high favour of admitting me to your presence, I send you a view
of my case. Not to trouble you with the old business of Lowestoft,
I was taken prisoner by you, and sequestered as conceived to have
been in arms against Parliament, but discharged by the Sequestra-
tion Committee, chiefly by j^our testimony to my Lord of
Manchester, who wrote to our county Commissioners.
Having behaved peaceably since, I do not think myself liable to
decimation, but submit wholly to your mercy. With report thereon
[by the county Commissioners for securing peace] that Knyvett was
taken prisoner at Lowestoft in March 1643, and sequestered, but dis-
charged in 1644 ; that he has given no proof of affection to Parliament,
and therefore they have decimated him. Norwich 16 April 1656.

Also, reference by the Protector to the Privy Council, allowing
him 10 days more respite from decimation, after 30 May, to clear
the truth of his case. [2 papers.] Annexing,
6. I.' Earl of Manchester to the Commissioners at Norwich. In
desiring you to let Mr. Knyvett receive his rents, I only
acted agreeably to orders of Parliavient, as else he would be
worse off than those actually sequestered ; and since my
coming to London, Col. Cromwell has assured me that
Knyvett surrendered to him voluntarily at Lowestoft, being
unarmed, except with a sword that he usually wore, and
that he knew nothing of the townsmen's intentions. The
Suffolk Commissioners have restored Sir Thos. Barker,
whose case is the same, to his estate. London, 26 Jan.

forfeited Estates of 24 May last, — that demand has been made of
15,521?. 13s. OfcZ. due for the latter half of purchase money of
the Marquis of Winchester's estate, and that the limit of 14 days
expired, and no money was paid, but a written statement sent by
Geo. Coney, a purchaser, that the eldest son of the marquis, Charles,
Lord St. John, has a claim to the lands, and therefore the second
half is unpaid, and all proceedings therein suspended till order of
Parliament — that as Lord St. John has not hitherto obtained any
allowance of his claim, a re-entry be made into the said lands, and
a recovery according to the re-conveyances made to the Treasurers,
who are to make a re-entry, and do all that tends to the benefit

16. Order on report from the Commissioners for regulating the
Excise on the petition of the workers of copper-gilt and silver
thread [see 19 Feb. 1656] — ^that many thousand families live on the
manufacture, which is much decayed since the excise was raised
from 2d. to Is., and may be endangered unless it be reduced — that
it be so reduced, and that the Excise Commissioners only demand 2d.
in future. Approved 13 June. Annexing,
23. Report alluded to, giving as reasons for the reduction, ~
(1). Tiiat all copper comes from abroad in bars, and
pays custom on import, and excise of Is. in 20s.
in value of copper by the first buyer, the price of
the bars being 2s. per pound.
(2) That French and Dutch m.erchant» secretly bring
in Tnuch copper thread, elude the duty, and sell it
at loiuer rates than can now be afforded.
(3). That the English cannot now afford to sell the
copper-lace thread, spangles, &c., they send abroad
cheap enough, and therefore they will lose the trade.
Thus the excise is likely to come to less at 12d.
in the pound than at 2d., and the manufacture
will be overthrown. 27 March 1656. [| page.]
17. The report from the Excise Commissioners, on a reference of

that on receipt of it, they be indemnified, any decree of the Court

Whitehall. Council hears that a suit is commenced against Sir John Barrington
and the other adventurers for claims in Ireland, against Serj. Dendy,
about lands in Ireland given him by order of Parliament for services
in England, on pretence of a right grounded on the Act for satisfying
the adventurers, whereby the serjeant and others in like case, and
the interest of the State are concerned, and the prosecution of the
suit will not turn to the advantage of any. Council therefore
wishes you to call the parties before you, enquire into the business,
and endeavour a reconciliation ; or if this be difficult, to signify
your opinion to Council that a just and equal course may be taken.
You are to use all expedition, that it may appear that the suspension
is not made to cause delay, but to bring the matter to a just and
honest compromise. [/. 77, p.p. 166-7.]

thereon, but rendered ineffectual because the right way of doing it
has not been discovered. We, desiring to serve our generation, have
spent much money in experiments, and have found a new way, of
which we have ah'eady made demonstration, for amending the high-
ways, not exceeding the tax in the Ordinance, and so that they shall
not need repair for many years, nor be injured by the weight of
carriages, and thus the parish taxes will be lessened, and travellers
can go further in a day. We beg a 14 years' patent for our inven-
tion, and encouragement in carrying it out. With reference thereon
to John Trenchard, Denis Bond, and Sir John Trevor, 19 May 1656 ;
their report that the thing can only be demonstrated by practice,
and therefore some highway near London should be chosen for a trial,
but that the petitioners request their letters patent before the trial,
because in it much of their secret and way of doing it will be dis-
covered, 26 May 1656 ; and further reference to Lord Strickland,
captain of his Highness's guard, and Col. Phil. Jones, to consider and
certify. 6 June 1656.) [2§ page's.]

sion for any money to be paid at Newcastle or Bristol, but if the
Customs' Commissioners will order the 8001. at Dartmouth to be paid
to Wm. Addis, the victualling agent at Plymouth, and take his bills
on me for it, I will see that they are accepted and paid. If how-
ever this will be no accommodation to the State, I would rather
make use of our credit at Plymouth to serve the State's occasions
when required. [|- page.]
June 6. 27. Major Rich. Elton to the Admiralty Commissioners. The
H""- Eastland ships are all ready, and the merchants return thanks for
the convoy. There are also 12 ships bound for London, and as they
have been waiting some time, their merchants earnestly desire one
to see them to the Thames, the granting of which will be an
encouragement to trade. I send a list of the prisoners with us,
according to your orders. I have used them very civilly whilst here,
and given them 6d. a day each, and 6d. each when they left, and
passes for Dover. These and the former 36 have had nearly 5?.

gave him one, and he had another for 1001. from one Dell
of England. The rest of his freight was paAd in the port.
Capt. Wood would have given 5001. for the Parrot prize,

June G. 29. Capt. Wm. Whitehorne to the Admiralty Commissioners. After
The watering at Scarborough, we parted with the Portsmouth, which
Hoseley Bay.' ^^^^^ northwards. On Tuesday the 3rd instant, we espied 4 sail
standing in towards Flamborough Head ; and giving chase, we espied
what they were, they not endeavouring much to conceal it. Their
admiral had 27 guns, and 200 men. He presently put abroad his
bloody ensign and pendant ; the rest their Spanish colours. His vice-
admiral had 22 guns, the third, 8, the fourth, 6, and all were well
manned, both for number and ability of men. They intended to
surprise any 4th rate frigate they could meet with, and they might
have done much mischief to the northward. Their admiral was the
same that lately took the Holland man-of-war with his convoys.
Our frigates gained much upon them, which they perceiving, divided
themselves. The Dartmouth and Drake gave chase to the two small
vessels, and after much endeavours used, lost sight of them by thick
mists ; that of 22 guns, being much to windward, stretched away.

June 6. The Advice and President gave chase to the admiral, but it was some
hours before they could come up to him by reason of the calm. He
resolutely defended himself, and was as gallantly opposed by the
Advice in his weather, and by the President in his lee quarter. I
was forced, with grief to myself and all with me, to be only a
spectator at a great distance, this frigate not being able to sail for
foulness, though, when clean, she is inferior to few for sailing.
Honest Capt. Sacheverell was slain at the third broadside. The
fight was continued from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. by the Advice and Presi-
dent, with no small damage on all sides. It may be wondered how
so contemptible an enemy should so long oppose two such consider-
able frigates. I assure you they are a resolute and daring enemy,
and their advantage lies in being so often tallowed and fully manned,
the want of which much hinders our frigates from performing what
they otherwise might. The Dartmouth and Drake, returning from
their lost chase, came seasonably to put a speedier conclusion to the
fight. The Drake, by the advantage of her oars, got up to pass
several broadsides very gallantly, and at last she yielded to the Advice.
When we first began to chase, I spared 11 able seamen to help the
Drake, which did her good service, but night coming on, and a great
fog, we were prevented using means to tow her. In the morning
when we found her, her masts were gone, being very much shattered
in the fight. The seamen whom Capt. Allen put on board of her
were all gone, and the Dunkirkers reported that, fearing she would
founder, being much torn, without masts, and very leaky, they had
made their escape in the boat. We know not what has become of
them, but I much fear there has been some treachery used by the
Dunkirkers, for there were more left on board than was imagined.
All means were used for preserving her, but that being impossible in
her condition, and the wind being very tempestuous, I caused her
to be sunk.
We have on board the several ships 154 prisoners, with Capt.
Erasmus Bruer. This was the best man-of-war in Ostend or Dun-
kirk, and, I believe, one of their stoutest captains.
Since writing the above, we have had a severe storm, and the
Gainsborough striking on a rock near the Whiting, her keel was so
much shattered that we were forced to cut away the mainmast, and
lighten her by casting out much ballast and her topmasts, and
it will be now necessary to send her into a dry dock. [If pages.]

and Large to sail thither, take charge of such vessels as are there, and
convoy them to the Needles, and then convoy those at Weymouth,
Lynn, Topsham, and Dartmouth, bound for St. Malo and Morlaix,
and bring back those for England. I understand you have agreed
to exchange Capt. Ensum for Capt. Blake ; I hope Ensum will be kept
safe. When he was brought into Plymouth, hearing what a notorious
fellow he was, and that no person could hold him, I sent him to Exeter
Gaol, where he has abode ever since, with gives on his heels ; of the
two, I judge him worse than Beech. Seven ships have put in with
tobacco from Virginia, bound for London. [1^ pages.']

35. Major Wm. Burton to the Admiralty Commissioners. I
understand by yours that 19 or 20 sail of Dunkirkers and Ostenders
are gone out, and that you would have the Pearl and Weymouth to
go to the Downs with the merchant ships ; but the merchants will
not venture their goods, for there is as much danger in going to the
Downs as to Holland, and they will stay to hear what has become of
the enemy. The Weymouth is at Harwich ; I sent Capt. Smith to
Newcastle to convoy the coal fleet, and ordered Capt. Sansura to
come with them into the Roads, lest the enemy fall on the fleet.
Capt. Wilkinson having left 2 anchors with the fishermen, who
have put them on shore, I will take charge of them, but he has
carried the cables to Harwich. The captain of the Wren desires
order to victual, but his ship is so leaky and defective that her
company is tired of her, and she is only fit to burn. There are 300 or
400 sail of the coal fleet afloat, and scarcely any to guard them, and
if the enemy falls with them, they will take as many as they please ;
it is a shame to our nation that we are afraid to go to sea for
2 or 3 towns, with help of the Hollanders, who, I am persuaded,
furnish them with half what they do. [1 page.]
36. Major Geo. Smithson to the Admiralty Commissioners. I
have set at Kberty, by order of Maj.-Gen. Lilburne, all the Dun-
kirk prisoners in Yorkshire, and given them passes for Hull,
Sunderland, and Newcastle. I enclose a list of the officers, and
one of the privates. A Scarborough ship, commanded by Rob.
Kirby, with 6 men in her, having been lately taken by some Dun-
kirkers, the gentry of the countrj^, who know Kirby, desire that he

am earnestly desired by the inhabitants of Hull and Burlington to
move that some speedy course may be taken for their release by
exchange. This town, knowing your wonted course about convoys,
I am constantly entreated by the London merchants of Hull, who have
had 12 ships ready to sail from Hull this last fortnight, for a convoy

of 31 Dec, 14 Feb., and 3 April, are aU to hand since ours of
14 April. For supplying the employment of treasurer, our directions
of 28 May suffice. We regret that Domingo Vaes de Britto finds
new ways to defraud us of our due, by landing cloth at Leghorn,
and afterwards sending it hither upon a Fleming, under protection
of the Dutch consul, but have thought of no way to prevent it.
The goods brought hither on the Friendship, as our husband says,
gave satisfaction, so no further trouble need be taken therein.
Concerning what you intimate about Mr. Winchester, if you
make not a right use of the blessing of having a' minister, the
fault is yours ; but if he discharge not his duty, then it is his.
Our remaining debts there being fully cleared by the dues on
the ships last departed, we ordered on April 14 the continuance of
an extraordinary consulage for extinguishing those here.
We are glad the disturbance at Constantinople, caused by the
rising of the Spahis and Janizaries, has produced no worse effects
than matter of charge in presents. We hope for some security in
reference to the escape of Bogus.
As for the Armenians lading their goods on our ships, though it
be a means to spoil our trade, yet since they would find that
accommodation from other nations, who would make the same
advantage by their consulage as we do, we are content with such
ordinary gratuities as you have made for encouraging their lading
on English ships.
Lastly, we remind you of our former resolutions for you to restore
what you have heretofore received more than the Company allowed
in gratuities, half house rent and minister's diet, for we may not
give way to a precedent that may excite the consul at Aleppo or
others to expect the like. Let us find the same put to our credit in
the next accounts, that we may not have to suspend the future
payment of any gratuity. \Levant Papers, Vol. iV., p. 271-2.]

ourselves with' the present effect of dearth produced by that diver-
sion of trade, which we hope will be shortly restored.
It is well that Mr. Fowk and partners are reduced to conformity
in payment of our dues, and that you are mindful of recovering the
arrears. Your moderation of our expences, collection of duties,
and endeavours to repair the injuries undergone in the time of
Ipsire Bassa, and revoking that unjust sentence on money, we take
well at your hands, and trust you will have good success.
We hear of some contest between our factor marine, and strangers
lading goods on our ships, touching payment of duties, which though
we conceive not to be due to him, yet as he has to give the Company
an account of these as well as our own goods, you may, for Mr. Bod-
ington's advantage, in a friendly way, try if you can persuade them
to payment.
We have lately settled afresh the rates of consulage and of
tonnage and freight, according to several lists enclosed, to commence
on their arrival. [Levant Papers, Vol. IV., pp. 273-4.]

away by Womam's composition, and the latter likely to cease on
the death of Mr. Thimbleby, who is very aged, and has only a life
estate in the tithes on which it is settled. The town is populous,
extending into several townships, and by reason of fairs and

[June 10.] 42. Petition of Col. David Barclay to the Protector. The Com-
missioners entrusted by you with the estates of the excepted persons
in Scotland finding, by the release of so many of them, that the
remnant wiU not answer the ends for which they were invested in
them, represent the condition thereof to you by me, and request your
speedy order. With reference signed of the petition, instructions,
and schedule to Council, 13 May 1656. [1 pa.ge.] Annexing,
42. I. Instructions by the said Commissioners in Scotland to
Col. David Barclay, to be presented to his Highness.
1. That the estates will not answer the intended objects,
which were three : —
(1.) To pay the creditors of each estate, and provide for
the wives and children of excepted persons.
(2.) To do the same for other estates which are over-
burdened with donatives.
(3.) The overplus to his Highness:
But overplus is impossible, as by reason of donatives,
estates hardly bear their own incumbrances, and those
that should have yielded relief are released from for-
feiture.
2. That the Commissioners should have full release as
to the disposal of those estates discharged from forfeiture,
or itic creditors may complain with reason of prejudice.
8. That they have obeyed his order for discharge of
the Earl of Calendar's estate.
4. That if the land worth 5001. a year, ordered by Par-
liament toJbe settled on Mrs. Mary Hamilton, now wife
to Griffin Hoiuard, and her children, some of whom are
under age, be exchanged as ordered for the same sum
out of fines, at 10 years' purchase, the children when they
come to age may sue the Gomm-issioners.
5. To ask whether the 4,000Z. is to be paid to Col. Overton,
notwithstanding his confinement.
6. To ash whether mortgages on estates forfeited before
1648 shall be considered as debts, or whether the mortgagee
shall have the estate, or be treated as other creditors, who
have lands conveyed to them at 20 years' purchase.
7. To ash directions about the personal estates of
excepted persons.
8. To represent that, though by Ordinance the wives and
children p>rovided for are to renounce all title to their
husbands' or fathers' estates, yet the Countess of Lauder-
dcde, ivho had ZOOl. a year by this Ordinance, has now

got one for 600i. <x year, yet has not renounced Iter
jointure, which may be an incumbrance on the estate,
[1 sheet]
42. II. Commissioners in Scotland to the Protector. On your
order 0/24: Aug. last to set out lands value 8001. a year
to the Countess of Lauderdale for life, we have set out to
her all the lands undisposed of that viere settled on her by
her Tnarriage contract with the Earl. But it is our duty
to present to you the charges, by debts and donatives, on
forfeited estates in Scotland, that you may consider it
when applications are made. On 12 April 1654, you
ordered that what cam,e short to pay lawful creditors from
one estate, by reason of donatives, should be paid from
another, after its debts and incumbrances were satisfied ;
but many estates then forfeited are since discharged by
capitulation with Gen. Monk, e.g., Earls Seaforth, Low-
doun, Athol, Glencairn, Lords Kenmure, Lome, Machlin,
and the Laird of Wom,att, whose estate would have
yielded great relief to creditors. If particular persona
receive grants out of the forfeited estates, the creditors will
he great sufferers.
We would be far from restraining your favour or
disputing your commands, yet as the condition of the
forfeiture stands, we leave it to you. Leith, 16 Dec. 1655,

June 10. 43. Petition of Col. David Barclay to the Protector. In 1648 I
paid large sums to creditors of the Earl Marshal in Scotland, who
had lands made over to them by mortgage, which they thereupon
conveyed to me ; but by the Ordinance of Grace and Pardon to the
people of Scotland, it is provided that no deeds on the estates shall
be allowed unless made before 18 April 1648, therefore the Com-
missioners for allowing claims on forfeited estates refuse to allow
mine. I beg an order for allowance, as the moneys were not paid to
the Earl Marshal, but to the creditors, who had the lands before the
said IS' April, [f page^ Annexing,

of ruin by the enemies, to the utter undoing of 500 men, with their

The Elizabeth, While attending the fishermen between Beachy and Dungeness, I
o astings. (jjja^ggj three vessels ; one proved to be the Fox of Ostend, of 8 guns
and 56 men, and after firing several shots at her, I broke her main-
mast, when she ran on shore at St. Valery en Caux. On sending
my men to take possession of her, it blew so hard that they could
not gain the shore or board her, and by the next morning, the
French had so plundered her that they left nothing upon her
but her masts and guns. I was troubled, and sent a note to the
governor or general, who said I should have the ship with the
prisoners ; but he and the judges wanted to see my commission,
which I would not send, and he refused to come or send on board to
see it, but threatened to secure my men till better informed what
we were. Finding uncivil dealings from those from whom I
expected friendship, I fired a gun for my men to come on board, and
was forced to leave the prize, after taking 3 guns and the foremast,

and Mons. Picard, the judge, and the Vice-Adm. Mons. Fras.
Eegon, who had the prisoners in custody, let them go, after the
French had stripped them.
Coming back I met and convoyed 8 sail of English merchantmen,
bound for England, one of whom had a present for his Highness.
P.S. — Before I could get the things specified, I had to show them
my old commission. [2^ pages.] Enclosing,
46. I. Gapt. Coleman to M. de Brionoty, governor of St. Valery.
As I have chased a Dunkirk or Ostend man-of-war on
your shore, and %ve are friends and she an enemy, I beg
your aid in getting her off, and delivery of the captain
and officers, and of all English and Scots on board.
The Elizabeth, 7 June 1656. [1 page.]
June 10. 47. Capt. Jer. Smyth to the Admiralty Commissioners. I send
The Essex, copies of my correspondence with the Admiralty Judges at Dunkirk
Downs. g^g ^Q releasing the English prisoners there and at Ostend, theirs in
England having been set at liberty. They have sent over as many
as the packet boat could accommodate, and promised the remainder
by the next passage. If our part is not performed, our men that
remain will be treated still worse, though now I hear they were so
miserably used there that they took up arms to free themselves. I
want an order to send over a vessel for the remainder, with 50 or 60
Dunkirkers, that the rest of ours may return. The Admiralty
Judges there expect an answer on Saturday.
P.S. — I shall dismiss no Ostenders who were in the frigate when
the English left her ; I find nothing to the contrary but that
they took to the boat. I want further directions as to trans-
porting the Swedish envoy, there being no fitting ship ready.

June 10. 48. H. Thorndike to Williamson. I cannot write much to you
or M. Cappel, being ill. It is not the intent of this edition [of
the Bible] to warrant the credit of the Roman edition of the 70,
much less to accept of Nobilius' translation thereof, but these copies
were printed rather than those followed by the Antwerp and Paris
editions ; the same of the 2 Samaritans. The learned must judge
of their credit. This edition is to give a true copy of both, and
the Samaritan will be collated with the Jewish Hebrew if advan-
tageous. The reasons for omitting the Masorah are undeniable.
My late Lord Primate made me consult Manasseh Ben Israel about
the original of it, which (as he had read) contained the bulk of
a Bible carefully prepared in some of their synagogues, and he
offered to pay for it, if it could be procured, so as to ascertain
the reading of their Bible ; but either skill or will to pleasure
Christians was wanting, for I could not persuade him to comply.
If it had been obtained, it could not have come into this edition,
but somewhat might have been found about the value of the
original.
The Syriac churches have 2 or 3 translations, one from the 70
and one from the Hebrew, which is here printed, but care will be
taken to compare copies.

John Blackwell and Rich. Deane are hereby appointed Receivers-
General for the said tax, which is to be paid to them by the county
treasurers, and the Army Committee are to issue warrants for its
disposal, in payment of the militia forces, with arrears. They have
power to assign any part for immediate payment of the forces in the

June 12. 57. Petition of Major Edm. Rolfe to the Protector. You referred
my former annexed petition, on 7 Aug. 1655, to the Army Com-
mittee, to certify my debts to the State, and theirs to me. On
24 August they certified that 393?. 3s. 3cZ. is due to me ; that I have
857Z. 14s .4c?. due on public faith bills, but some are suspected as being
bought from Mr. Manley, who is in Serjeant Dendy's custody ; and
that they do not think the allowance of 5s. a day is due [see 1 Sept.
1654]. I reply that I bought bills of Manley at 5s. 2d, the current
value, in October 1652, but did not know that he was suspected.
When I was employed as Commissioner in the Isle of Wight, you
led me to hope for pay, though the public affairs did not admit time
for settlement, and I was at Carisbrook Castle 218 days in the
most expensive part of the trust. I would rather loose my public
faith bills than u.sher in an evil precedent, and will obey your order
therein, only I beg discharge from the debt. With reference thereon
to Council, signed by the Protector, 10 June 1656. [I sheet]

tenths, &c. There are 4<7l. augmentable profits paid in yearly by Rich,
Combe, and 1^ years ago I petitioned the Trustees for Ministers' for
an augmentation, but after I spent much time and money, they
postponed the case, and said they must have your special order.
This I beg, the rather because a parsonage of 160Z. a year has lately

62. L Jas. Warner [Weston?] to the King. I told you in my
last, which is not to hand, that the factor whom I recom-
mended to you was only unfortunate ; he still wishes to
perform what he conditidned for, but his partners have
not had his inclinations since the last great north wind
sunk their prime vessel, and rnade them throw over much
rich lading, fm^ such was the tempest that the best pilots
had their ships scattered, though not sunk.
I told you that your friend Blackman is far gone in
the scurvy ; he is to try a course of steel at the fall of the
leaf. I wish I could see you here, but it cannot be unless
you compound unth your creditors and some debtors at a
much lower rate than is your due. If you go to law, you
will recover nothing ; but if you can engage some of them
to be witnesses for you, in time yon may bring them all
to what you please. [1 page.] *

with their Erench, but better creep than stand still ; do all you can

It is rumoured that some of" our men are to besiege Dunkirk ;

pany for them. ^Our merchants and seamen have suffered much of

P.S.— Your letters cost more postage than before, I pay mine

June 16. 65. Petition of David Fithey, merchant, Thos. Hare, commander
of the Anne Piercy, and Laurence Browning, commander of the
Francis and John, to the Protector. Oar ships, of 260 tons each,
bound for Archangel, are not allowed to sail from Gravesend,
because your Highness has commanded their stay for 14 days, till
some other ships of great burden, but no force, can go with them.
By this we shall be greatly damaged, as our charges are 1001. a
week, and we shall lose this fair wind and the advantage of the
market for our goods. We beg either leave to sail, or for the other
ships to bear our charges meantime. With hologi-aph reference by
the Protector to the Admiralty Commissioners, [1 page.]
June 16. 66. Thos. Pointer to the Navy Commissioners, I fear to
The Speaker, displease you with my weakness, but I have much disquiet. I find
my present employment very irksome, and clogging my enjoyment
of better things, and would gladly leave it if I could do without it.
The fleet arrived here on the 5 th inst., and forced a conclusion of
the 5 years' work already spent, which would have taken 5 more in
shuffling, had we not come and lain between the Brazils fleet and
home. The Colchester went to Lisbon and received the 50,000L
ordered to be paid on the agreement, and it has since been shipped
in the Sapphire and Phoenix for England. The Rear- Admiral with
his squadron were also sent for from Cadiz here. The Spanish
business does not look handsomely, but I conceive our designs will
take eflect, and be greatly for the honour of the nation. We hear
4 Hollanders got into Cadiz with anchors, cables, powder, and shot,
while the Rear- Admiral was watering at Tanzy [Tangiers ?]. I
think Cadiz, with the Spanish Armada lying unrigged, is worth the
sending over 8,000 or 10,000 men, as if Cadiz should not be
taken, yet the beleaguring of it, while we are destroying, the Armada,
would save a deal of charge, by keeping less ships upon that coast,
and the Spaniard would be wholly undone, and we should thus be
able, with less danger, to possess and keep any place we have a mind
to for the future upon his sea coast.
P.S. — The Generals hearing that the man-of-war which took the
Cullen was gone into Vigo with her prize, have sent the Fairfax
with 5 others, either to bring her away or burn her. [2| pages.]

When our debts at that place shall be totally cleared (which we
hope through your care will now be soon effected), we resolve that
one consulage extraordinary shall notwithstanding be continued on
all goods both out and in, at all places in Turkey, to go upon the
credit of those to whom the Company owes money, at the rate of
5s. the dollar, to be paid down by the rest, which last consulage we
would have invested in silk or some other commodities, and sent
hither for the Company's account, to be employed towards lessening
their debts here. We therefore desire you to see to the collection of
this and our usual consulage, and you shall have a list of our

June 17. 67. Petition of John Pimlowe, minister of Holbeach, co. Lincoln,
to the Protector. You granted an order for examination of my
articles against John Hobson [see 26 Oct. 1655, and 20 Feb. 1656.],
and appointed further proof at last Lincoln assizes ; but partly
through my absence, I had only a day's notice, and some of the
witnesses could not come, but would come next assizes, only
Mr. Hobson has terrified them, by threats and arrest, to put their
hands to the contrary of what they deposed. I therefore beg a special
order to Major-Gen. Whalley to issue a summons to the officers
of towns to bring up the witnesses next assizes, or it will be im-
possible to proceed. With order accordingly. [1 sAeei.] Annexing,

Knipple, whom they wish to exchange for Joel Mitchell, is, they say,
still here, and his father has got several able seamen, supposed to be
merchants, as his prisoners till his son is restored. I hear 9
Dunkirk and Ostend men-of-Avar have gone westward, and if
Capt. Mackey with his ship's head had plied off the coast of Flanders,
according to orders, he would not have missed them, but they
ranged westward as far as Dungeness. The Advice should be sent
there, her commander being very active, and knowing the coast
well. I hear from Dunkirk that 4 of their frigates meeting the
Greyhound, they had a sharp dispute and boarded her, when she
blew up, killing 60 of their men, and only 2 English being saved.
There are 4 ships named in the Downs.

save all their lives, by taking them all aboard their frigates, which
was all the refusal.
I have told aU the commanders within my reach about increasing
their complement of men. I enclose a list of 14 suspected seamen,
English, Irish, and Scotch, amongst the Ostenders, whom I have
ordered Capt. Plumleigh to carry with others to Dover and deliver
them to the Deputy Governor, and to bring back a receipt for them,
which he has done, the number mentioned being 112; 50 in-
considerable men, 25 of whom were youths, I discharged.
I hope the Admiralty Commissioners will put a more favourable
construction on my last to the Admiralty Judges at Dunkirk, as I
merely suggested the exchange of prisoners according to their
quality, and not in number. They want masters of merchant-men
released in lieu of commanders of their frigates. There were then
nearly 200 Ostenders aboard the several frigates in the Downs,
of which you had no notice, neither knew I that they should
be set at liberty. John Mitchell, designated as a Dunkirk mer-
chant, is only an ordinary seaman, and I engaged for his discharge
as such ; as for Knipple, I never heard of him before ; I believe the
Admiralty Judges there are now satisfied. I have again written
them your pleasure about their prisoners released here, and com-
plained of the abuse of the English with them. Particulars of ships.

June 19. 78. Petition of Devereux Wyatt, captain of Tenby garrison, to
the Protector, for letters of reprisal against the Spaniards, and for
some place in the Customs about Pembroke, his birth-place. When
master of the Jeane of Tenby, coming from Sebastian's, bound
for London, she was met in 1640 by Bowden Suecart, captain of a
Dunkirk man-of-war, who boarded her, and stripping him of his
doublet, presented a writing to him to subscribe, threatening to
stab him if he did not ; the effect of it was that his said ship was
bound for France. The said captain thereupon brought the ship and
lading for Dunkirk, and on the enforced confession, condemned it as
prize and disposed of it. The damage proved in the Admiralty was
1,700L, and for satisfaction of his loss there have been divers
agitations with the Spanish Ambassador and Agent of Flanders,
Sigor Claugon, but without effect. Is aged, and has 9 children, one
in service at sea. With reference thereon to Council, 5 May, 1656.

June 19. 79. Petition of George Martin, mayor, and the aldermen and
inhabitants of Leicester to the Protector. Our unworthiness has
deprived us of our former blessing of able and pious ministers, and
we are as sheep without a shepherd, being numerous, but with no
settled ministry. There are 6 parishes and 5 churches, all without
inctimbents, because the maintenance of all is not 1001, a year,
This will lead to a famine of the word, ignorance, and profaneness.
We therefore beg augmentations, which, M'ith the revenues which
we can raise from our small estates, will encotirage ministers to
settle among us. 37 signatures, including Wm. Simes, lecturer at
Leicester. [1 double sheet.]

gentleman, to the Protector. On intelligence from London, on 14 June
last, that on tjrial, the jury had found a verdict for Nath. Eeading, and
the participants in Hatfield chace, against the inhabitants of Epworth,
Isle of Axholme, the latter reviled and threatened me because of my
acquaintance with Reading, though I have always tried to compose
differences ; and on 16 June, J as. Mawe and his sons drove cattle
into 60 acres of my meadow, and pulled down fences. The
tenants neither dare repair, the fences nor drive away the cattle,
and the commoners say they have as much right to defend their
common with their swords as the Protector has the government he
has taken upon him. They also wounded, and attempted to kill
one of my tenants, who was subpcened as a wit.ness on the trial, and
said they would hang his quarters in several places.
I dare not leave my doors for fear of my life, and there is no
remedy at law, as the justices of peace dare not act against the
pleasure of the commoners. I beg, for the sake of the public peace,
a speedy suppression of these violences. [1 sheet.]

Moulton, CO. Devon, my eldest son, Carew, aged 20, went to visit
relatives in co. Devon^ but was apprehended at Apsam Ferry, and
sent to Exeter gaol, on suspicion of going to join the party. If he

him. With reference to Council, 19 June 1656. [1 sheet].

the company of the Nightingale, commanded by Capt. Eobt. Vessey ;
we beg^ that some cause maj' be taken for prevention of the like

Enclosing,
83. I. Jno. Putnam to the [Customs' Com,7nissioners]. While
Capt. Roht. Vessey, of the Nightingale, was riding at anchor
within my charge, I saw and heard of divers goods being
sent on hoard for transportation to Ireland. I therefore
went on hoard, hut was not only not permitted to view
them, hut received divers affronts from the seamen; and
even to the hazard of my life, being hut a weakly man,
T tuas thrown into the sea by one ofj the boat's crew, when
coming ashore; they gave no reason for their affronts,
hut I surmise they feared discovery of tner chants' goods.
I complained to Capt. Vessey, and he replied that if I
wanted to come on hoard again, I must find my own
boat.
When ready to sail, the captain sent for me, and when
I durst not go on hoard, he sent me a warrant on shore
for 4 trusses of merchants' goods which were entered to go
in a merchant ship for Ireland, hut taken on the frigate,
as also other goods artd passengers, to the great prejudice
of the Commonwealth, as regards Customs, and of mer-
chant vessels trading in Ireland. I beg an order to
Capt. Vessey, and all other captains of State's ships coming
to Chester, to permit me to discharge my duty without
interruption, and also a commission to act as a waiter
and searcher. Chester, I4i June 1656. [1 page.]

Lord Chief Justice RoUe and Justice Jermyn, disallowed, without
hearing me or my counsel. I applied to you, and you ordered that
Committee to certify, and meanwhile suspended proceedings ; but
now an order is made for payment of the second ^ for the lands,

7. Order on a report from the Committee on the petition of the
Walloon congregation of Norwich, — representing that the petitioners
set forth, —
That they have lately been hindered from setting to ■work
strangers that have repaired unto them for the free exercise of
their religion, so that without remedy the congregation will be
ruined, and persecuted Protestants abroad discouraged to repair
hither for shelter, and their poor left unprovided for :
That Norwich was the first place that received Protestant
strangers, who taught the English various woollen manufactures,
which formerly were exported, and they pray that the privileges
granted them by Edw. VI., may be confirmed for free exercise of
their religion in their own language, and of their trade, and that
such liberty may be given to Protestant strangers repairing thither.
They produce a grant made 1 Nov., 7 Eliz., that such 30 Dutch-
men of the Low Countries in Flanders, alien born, householders
or master workmen, as shall be licenced by the mayor, citizens,
and commonalty of Norwich, may inhabit that city with their
families and servants, not exceeding 10 in a family, take houses
in the city for a term not exceeding 7 years, and in case any
of the 30 die or depart, the mayor may admit such others as he
thinks fit, not^dthstanding 1 Rich. III., 32 Hen. VIII., &c. :
That they maj^ exercise their faculties of making baize, arras,
sayes, tapestry, mockadoes, stamens, kersies, and other outlandish
commodities not usually made in England without penalty. The

That no information be admitted to the impeaching hereof,
and the grant to continue till repeal.
They also produce certificates from the mayor, aldermen, and
and justices of peace for Norwich of 3 and 9 Jac, taking notice of
the said grant of Queen Elizabeth, and that the strangers admitted
thereby had introduced into England several manufactures of
native wool, and had given work to many poor ; that they sub-
mitted to the good constitutions devised for the city by the
magistrates and partly by themselves, for their government, and
making their stuffs so as to prevent prejudice.
That officers were yearly sworn in before the mayor, to examine
the length, depth, and number of threads in their stuffs, and to
seal such as they approved. By the said certificates it appeared
that the strangers had lived in the said city 46 j^ears before
9 Jac
They also produce an order of King James and Council of
.29 March 1612, noticing the privilege granted them for free
exercise of their trade, in making stuffs of new drapery and other
manufactures there, and of their being troubled for bringing up
their children and servants therein, without binding them appren-
tices according to statute.
That they are a peculiar society, under government of the
mayor, justices, and aldermen of the city, and exempt from that
statute, and should enjoy toleration of their religion, and exercise
of their trade.
That no informations for not serving as apprentices be accepted
against them, and that those already preferred be discharged : —
Order thereon that the mayor, justices, and aldermen of Norwich
be enjoined to allow the petitioners to enjoy all the privileges
granted them by former kings and queens without interruption,
till they show such reasons to the contrary as shall satisfy Council
that the privileges should not be continued. Approved 27 June,
and letter from Council to the mayor, &c., of Norwich to like
effect, sent 2 July. [See I. 77, pp. 918-920.]

bonds be cancelled or delivered up by the said officers, and that
in case such certificates be not returned within 6 months, the
bonds be returned to the Exchequer, there to-be proceeded upon;
and that the Customs' Commissioners and Officers do their
utmost to prevent the export of wool, &c.
V. That his Highness give strict orders to the Barons of the

for. The Council of State is sad ; things go not with the fleet as
they desire.
The underhand dealings of Wildman with the King will come
to nothing, for I am certain Cromwell knows it. Halsey emploj'ed
me 9 months since on business to Bristol, and charged me with
secrecy, but the first person I spoke with there told me every tittle
of it, and something more, which was true. This continues, and I
hear nothing about the King but they hear it long before. This is
sent to an honest man in Bristol by a niece of his in London, at
whose mother's Lord Rochester lay when last here.
I have long heard of Dick Filers sanguine letters, but now John
Chase tells me that his man and Col, Ger. Hollis are here to prepare
for their master's coming in at Michaelmas at the furthest. The
King's not coming to London keeps me here, but to no purpose ;
his business cannot be well done without him or an attorney to act
at discretion. I hear from Scotland that a regiment designed to be
shipped refused, so another regiment was brought to compel them ;
they fell to blows, and 56 were slain.
P.S. — The fleet was equally divided by the 2 generals, and lots
were cast which should go with Gen. Blake to the West Indies,
which might have been spared, for all refused to go there.
I know not which of the Streights you mean, but this one is

June 29. 107. T. Ross to Sec. Nicholas, Bruges. Armorer showed a friend of
July 9. mine a letter from the King enjoining Hopton to correspond solely
Paris. with him. I told Hopton and Pile that this was coming upon them,
and they must study perfect obedience, but honest Pile is troubled,
his bu.siness being anticipated after his running hazards some years.
Cooper or Thornton* was enjoined to render an account to you, and
you promised a return. Tell me whether you received the letters
mentioned [noted in margin. No]. Douce, I told you, was to mean
Thornton, but you seem to have read it Cooper, and haply it is he
brought you the note from Pile ; if it be not, it is a labyrinth built
between Sir Edw. Hyde and his friends, too intricate for me to
enter ; only I told Armorer that our friends were troubled not to
have some account of what they sent from the hands to whom they
ordered it to be committed, and also to find that some to whom they
were ordered to address themselves knew their business beforehand.
Armorer says that the Duke of York's clerk, lately come from
you, is to satisfy everybody here, and that he was ordered by Hyde
to tell his friends to give in their accounts to him. I replied that that
person was a stranger to me, and unless I had it under the King's
hand or yours, I should not notice it.^ I shall steer my course by
your compass, so let me have your rules, for it is so difficult to run
an even course that I am weary of it.

The Protector has laid aside thoughts of a Parliament, and is
doubling the tax without them ; " his family, you will find on all
hands, is held to be sad, and perhaps some reasons for it."
The decimation amounts to much less than was expected, so his
inevitable wants drive him to the other extremity of doubling.
I send you rough copies of letters from my sister, enclosing one from

June. 108. Account of Sir Wm. Davenant's opera. The bUls are
entitled " The entertainment by music and declarations after the
manner of the ancients." Scene, Athens. They began at the
Charter House 23 May 1656, at 5s. a head ; 400 persons expected,
but only 150 came. The personages were Diogenes, who spoke
against, and Aristophanes for, the opera ; then citizens of London
and Paris discussing the defects of each other's cities, in buildings,
manners, diet, &c. The Londoner has the better of it ; and ends
with describing a scene in which 2 crocheteurs of Paris .sink down
undep their heavy burdens, before they will cease a contest in which
each wishes to give the other the way. The music was in a covered
place and concerted, ending with new songs relating to the victor
(the Protector), the last, deriding Paris, ended, —
" And though a ship her scutcheon be.
Yet Paris hath no ship at sea."
Hen. Lawes and Dr. Coleman composed the songs, Capt. Cook, Ned.
Coleman and his wife, and others sang them. It lasted 1-j- hours,
and is to continue 10 days.
There has lately been a cockney feast of the better sort of citizens
born within the walls at Merchant Tailors' Hall; 3,000 dined in
one room, and 300 in another, at 5s. a head. By the care of city
cooks and caterers, such a feast was never seen in the city.

Albery of Arundel, Sussex, treasurer for sequestrations, 353Z., which
is claimed by the above-named, that is by the first 4 as discoverers,
and by the rest because the money was gathered for service on
which they were employed. That by order of Maj.-Gen. Goffe
and the County Commissioners, the money is paid by Albery's
executors to Thos. Collins of Chichester, treasurer for moneys raised
by them. Col. Lilburne and Maj.-Gen. Butler being consulted on
the subject, think that as the money had long remained concealed
in Albery's hands, the discoverers should have their share, and the
remainder should be paid to Capt. Draper and the officers. They
therefore advise one half, being the highest proportion allowed, viz. —
To the discoverers - - - - £ 176 10 0
To Draper and the officers towards arrears - 1118 7
To be paid into the Exchequer - - 65 1 5

CALENDARS OF STATE PAPERS, &o.
[Imperial 8vo., cloth. Price 15s. each Volume or P.art.]
As far back as the year 1800, a Committee of the House of Commons
recommended that Indexes and Calendars should be made to the Public
Records, and thirty-six years afterwards another Committee of the House of
Commons reiterated that recommendation in more forcible words ; but it
was not until the incorporation of the State Paper Oiiice with the Public
Eecord Office that the Master of the Rolls found himself in a position to take
the necessary steps for carrying out the wishes of the House of Commons.
On 7 December 1855, he stated to the Lords of the Treasury that although
" the Records, State Papers, and Documents in his charge constitute the
" most complete and perfect series of their kind in the civilized world," and
although " they are of the greatest value in a historical, and constitutional
" point of view, yet they are comparatively useless to the public, from the
" want of proper Calendars and Indexes."
Acting upon the recommendations of the Committees of the House of
Commons above referred to, he suggested to the Lords of the Treasury that
to effect the object he had in view it would be necessary for him to employ a
few Persons fully qualified to perform the work which he contemplated.
Their Lordships assented to the necessity of having Calendars prepai'ed
and printed, and empowered the Master of the Rolls to take such steps as
might be necessary for this purpose.
The following Works have been already published under the direction to
the Master of the Rolls : —

THE CHRONICLES AND MEMORIALS OE GREAT BRITAIN
AND IRELAND DURING THE MIDDLE AGES.
[ROTAi, 8vo. half-bound. Price lOs. each Volume or Part.J
On 25 July 1822, the House of Commons presented an address to the
Crown, stating that the editions of the works of our ancient historians were
inconvenient and defective ; that many of their writings still remained in
manuscript, and, in some cases, in a single copy only. They added, " that an
" uniform and convenient edition of the whole, published under His Majesty's
" royal sanction, would be an undertaking honourable to His Majesty's reign,
" and conducive to the advancement of historical and constitutional know-
" ledge ; that the House thei-efore humbly besought His Majesty, that He
" would be graciously pleased to give such directions as His Majesty, in His
" wisdom, might think lit, for the publication of a complete edition of the
" ancient historians of this realm, and assured His Majesty that whatever
" expense might be necessary for this purpose would be made good."
The Master of the Rolls, being very desirous that effect should be given
to the resolution of the House of Commons, submitted to Her Majesty's
Treasury in 1857 a plan for the publication of the ancient chronicles and
memorials of the United Kingdom, and it was adopted accordingly. In
selecting these works, it was considered right, in the first instance, to
give preference to those of which the manuscripts were unique, or the
materials of which would help to fill up blanks in English history for
which no satisfactory and authentic information hitherto existed in any
accessible form. One great object the Master of the Roils had in view was
to form a corpus historicum within reasonable limits, and which should be
as complete as possible. In a subject of so vast a range, it was important
that the historical student should be able to select such volumes as conformed
with his own peculiar tastes and studies, and not be put to the expense of
purchasing the whole collection ; an inconvenience inseparable from any
other plan than that which has been in this instance adopted.
Of the Chronicles and Memorials, the following volumes have been pub-
lished. They embrace the period from the earliest time of British history
down to the end of the reign of Henry VII.
1. The Chkoniclb of England, by John Capgrave. Edited hy the
Rev. F. C. HiNGESTON, M.A., of Exeter College, Oxford. 1858.
Capgrave was prior of Lynn, in Norfolk, and provincial of the order of th e
Friars Hermits of Eng;land shortly before the year 1464. His Chronicle extends
from the creation of the world to the year 1417. As a record of the language
spoken in Norfolk (being written in English), it is of considerable value.
2, Chronicon Monasterii de Abingdon. Vols. I. and II. Edited by
the Rev. Joseph Stevenson, M.A., of University College, Durham,
and Vicar of Leighton Buzzard. 1858.
This Chronicle traces the history of the great Benedictine monastery of
Abingdon in Berkshire, from its foundation by King Ina of Wessex, to the
rei<'n°of Richard I., shortly after which period the present narrative was drawn
up by an inmate of the establishment. The author had access to the title-deeds
of the house ; and incorporates into his history various charters of the Saxon
kin"?, of great importance as illustrating not only the history of the locality
butlh'at of the kingdom. The work is printed for the first time.

o. Lives op Edward the Confessor. I. — La Estoire de Seiut Aedwaicl
le Eei. IL — Vita Beati Edvardi Eegis et Confessoris. IIL — Vita
-31duuardi Eegis qui apud Westmonasterium requiescit. Edited by
Henrt Richards Luard, M.A., Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Trinity
College, Cambridge. 1858.
The first is a poem in Norman Trench, containing 4,686 lines, addressed to
Alianor, Queen of Henry III., probably written in 1245, on the restoration of
the church of Westminster. Nothing is known of the author. The second is
an anonymous poem, containing 536 lines, ■written between 1440 and 1450, by
command of Henry VI., to whom it is dedicated. It does not throw any
new light on the reign of Edward the Confessor, but is valuable as a specimen
of the Latin poetry of the time. The third, also by an anonymous author, was
apparently written for Queen Edith, between 1066 and 1074, during the pressure
of the suffering brought on the Saxons by the Norman conquest. It notices
many facts not found in other writers, and some which -differ considerably from
the usual accounts.
4. MoNUMBNTA Fkanciscana. Vol.1 Thomas de Eccleston deAdventu
Fratrum Minorum in Angliam. Adas de Marisco Epistolse. Registrum
Fratrum Minorum Londonias. Edited by J. S. Brewer, M.A., Pro-
fessor of English Literature, King's College, London. Vol. II. — De
Adventu Minorum; re-edited, with additions. Chronicle of the Grey
Friars. The ancient English version of the Rule of St. Francis.
Abbreviatio Statutorum, 1451, &c. Edited by Richard Howibtt, Esq.,
of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law. 1858, 1882.
The first volume contains original materials for the history of the settlement
of the order of Saint Erancis in England, the letters of Adam de Marisco, and
other papers connected with the foimdation and diffusion of this great body. It
was the aim of the editor to coUeot whatever historical information could be
found in this country, towards illustrating a period of the national history for
which only scanty materials exist. None of these have been bfefore printed.
The second volume contains materials found, since the first volume was
published, among the MSS. of Sir Charles Ishani, and in various libraries.-
o. Fasciculi Zizaniorum Magistri Johannis W.yclif cum Tritico.
Ascribed to Thomas Nbtter, of Walden, Provincial of the Carmelite
Order in England, and Confessor to King Henry the Fifth. Edited by
the Rev. W. W. Shirley, M.A., Tutor and late Fellow of Wadham
College, Oxford. 1858.
This work derives its principal value from being the only contemporaneous
account of the rise of the Lollards. When written the disputes of the school-
men had been extended to the field of theology, and they appear both in the
writings of Wycliff and in those of his adversaries. Wycliff's little bundles
of tares are not less metaphysical than theological, and the conflict between
Nominalists and Realists rages side by side with the conflict between the different
interpreters of Scripture. The work gives a good idea of the controversies at
the end of the 1 4th and the beginning of the 1 5th centuries .
6. The Buik of the Croniclis of Scotland ; or, A Metrical Version of
the History of Hector Boece ; by William Stewart. Vols. I., II.,
and III. Edited by W. B. Turnbull, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-
at-Law. 1858.
This is a metrical translation of a Latin Prose Chronicle, and was written in the
first half of the 16th century. The narrative begins with the earliest legends,
and ends with the death of James I. of Scotland, and the " evil ending of the'
traitors thart slew him." Strict accuracy of statement is not to be looked for in
such a work as this j but the Stories of the colonization of Spain, Ireland and
Scotland are interesting if not true; and the chronicle is valuable as a reflection
of the manners, sentiments, and character of the age in which it was composed.
The peculiarities of the Scottish dialect are well illustrated in this metrical version '
and the student of language will find ample materials for comparison with the
English dialects of the same period, and with modern lowland Scotch.

7. JoHANNis Capgeave LiBEE DB Illusteibds Henkicis. Edited by the
Rev. F. C. HiNGBSTON, M.A., of Exeter College, Oxford. 1868.
This work is dedicated to Henry VI. of England, who appears to have been, in
the author's estimation, the greatest of allthe Henries. It is divided into three
parts, each having a separate dedication. The first part relates only to the history
of the Empire, from the election of Henry I., the Eowler, to the end of the
reign of the Emperor Henry VI. The second part is devoted to English
history, from the accession of Henry I. in 1100, to 1446, which was the twenty-
fourth year of the reign of Henry VI. The third part contains the lives of
illustrious men who have borne the name of Henry in various parts of the world.
Capgrave was bom in 1393, in the reign of Kichard II., and lived during the
Wars of the Roses, for which period his work is of some value.
8. HisTOEiA MoNASTEEii S. AuGusTiNi Cantuaeiensis, by Thomas of
Elmham, formerly Monk and Treasurer of that Foundation. Edited
by Chatci.es Haedwick, M.A., Fellow of St. -Catharine's Hall, and
Christian Advocate in the University of Cambridge. 18.58.
This history extends from the arrival of St. Augustine in Kent until 1191.
Prefixed is a chronology as far as 1418j which shows in outline what was to have
been the character of the work when completed. The only copy known is m the
possession of Trinity Hall, Cambridge. The author was connected with Norfolk,
and most probably with Ehuham, whence he derived his name.
9. EtTLOGiUM (HisTOEiAEtTM siVE Tempoeis) : Chronicon ab Orbe condito
usque ad Annum Domini 1366 ; a Monacho quodam Malmesbiriensi
exaratum. Vols. I., II., and III. Edited by F. S.Hatdon, Esq., B.A,
1858-1863.
This is a Latin Chronicle extending from the Creation to the latter part of the
reign of Edward III., and written by a monk of the Abbey of Mahuesbury, in
Wiltshire, about the year 1367. A continuation, carrying the history of England
down to the year 1413, was added in the former half of the fifteenth century by
an author whose name is not known. The original Chronicle is divided into
five books, and contains a history of the world generally, but more especially
■of England to the year 1366. The continuation extends the history down to
the coronation of Henry V. The Eulogium itself is chiefly valuable as contain-
ing a history, by a contemporary, of the period between 1356 and 1366. The
notices of events appear to have been written very soon after their occurrence
Among other interesting matter, the Chronicle contains a diary of the Poitiers
campaign, evidently famished by some person who accompanied the army of the
Black Prince. The continuation of the Chronicle is also the work of a contem-
porary, and gives a very interesting account of the reigns of Eichard II. and
Henry IV. It is believed to be the earliest authority for the statement that the
latter monarch died in the Jerusalem Chamber at Westminster.
10. Memorials op Henet the Seventh : Bernardi Andrese Tholosatis
Vita Regis Henrici Septimi ; necnon alia qusedam ad eundem Eegem
spectantia. ^rfifeii fiy James G-aiednee, Esq. 1858.
The contents of this volume are— (1) a life of Henry VH., by his poet
laureate and historiographer, Bernard Andre, of Toulouse, with some composi-
tions in verse, of which he is supposed to have been the author; (2) the journals
of Roger Machado during certain embassies on which he was sent by Henry VII.
to Spain and Brittany, the first of which had reference to the marriage of the
King's son, Arthur, with Catharine of Arragon; (3) two curious reports by
envoys sent to Spain in the year 1505 touching the succession to the Crown
of Castile, and a project of marriage between Henry VH. and the Queen of
Naples; and (4) an account of Philip of Castile's reception in England in 1506.
Other documents of interest in connexion with the period are given in an appendix.
1 1 . Memoeials op Henet the Fipth. I. — Vita Henrici Quinti, Roberto
Eedmanno auctore. II. — Versus Rhythmici in laudem Regis Henrici
Quinti. III. — Elmhami Liber Metricns de Henrico V. Edited by
Chaeles a. Cole, Esq. 1858.
This volume contains three treatises which more or less illustrate the history of
the reign of Henry V., viz.: A Life by Robert Redman ; a Metrical Chronicle by
Thomas Elmham, prior of Lenton, a contemporary author ; Versus Rhythmici,
written apparently by a monk of Westminster Abbey, who was also a contempo-
rary of Henry V. These works are printed for the first time.

12. MsjNiMENTA G-iLDHALLiE LoNDONiENSis ; Liber Albus, Liber Cus-
tumarum, et Liber Horn, in archivis G-ildhaliae asservati, VoL I.,
Liber Albus. Vol. II. (in Two Parts), Liber Custumarum. Vol. III.
Translation of the Anglo-Norman Passages in Liber Albus, Glossaries,
Appendices, and Index. Edited hy Henkt Thomas Eilet, Esq., M.A.,
Barrister-at-Law. 1859-1862.
The manuscript of the Liher Albus, compiled by John Carpenter, Common
Clerk of the City of London in the year 1419, a large folio volume, is pre-
served in the Record Room of the City of London. It gives au account of
the laws, regulations, and institutions of that City in the twelfth, thirteenth,
fourteenth, and early part of the fifteenth centuries.
The Litiei- Custumarum was compiled probably by various hands in the early
part of the fourteenth century during the reign of Edward II. The manuscript,
a folio volume, is also preserved in the Record Room of the City of London ,
though some portion in its original state, borrowed from the City in the reign
of Queen Elizabeth and never returned, forms part of the Cottonian MS.
Claudius T). II. in the British Museum. It also gives an account of the laws,
regulations, and institutions of the City of London in the twelfth, thirteenth, and
early part of the fourteenth centuries.
13. Chronica Johannis de Oxenedes. Edited hy Sir Henet Ellis,
K.H. 1859.
Although this Chronicle tells of the arrival of Hengist and Horsa in England
in the year 449, yet it substantially begins with the reign of King Alfred, and
comes down to the year 1292, where it ends abruptly. The history is particu-
larly valuable for notices of events in the eastern portions of the kingdom,
which are not to be elsewhere obtained, and some curious facts are mentioned
relative to the floods in that part of England, which are confirmed in the Eries-
land Chronicle of Anthony Heinrich, pastor of the Island of Mohr.
14. A Collection of Political Poems and Songs relating to English
History, from the Accession of Edward III. to the Eeign of
Henry VIII. Vols. I. and II. Edited hy Thomas Wright, Esq.,
M.A. 1859-1861.
These i^oems are perhaps the most interesting of all the historical writings of
the period, though they cannot be relied on for accuracy of statement. They
are various in character ; some are upon religious subjects, some may be called
satires, and some give no more than a court scandal ; but as a whole they pre-
sent a very fair picture of society, and of the relations of the different classes
to one another. The period comprised is in itself interesting, and brings us,
through the decline of the feudal system, to the beginning of our modern
history. The songs in old English are of considerable value to the philologist.
15. The " Opus Tertium," " Opus Minus," &c., of Roger Bacon. Edited
hy J. S. Brewer, M.A., Professor of English Literature, King's
College, London. 1859.
This is the celebrated treatise — never before printed — so frequently referred
to by the great philosopher in his works. It contains the fullest details we
possess of the life and labours of Roger Bacon : also a fragment by the same
author, supposed to be unique, the " Compendium Studii Theologia."
16. BAKTHOLOMiEI DE COTTON, MONACHI NORWICENSIS, HiSTORIA An-
GLiCANA ; 449-1298 : necnon ejusdem Liber de Archiepiscopis et
Episcopis Anglias. Edited hy Henry Eichards Luard, M.A., Fellow
and Assistant Tutor of Trinity College, Cambridge. 1859.
The author, a monk of Norwich, has here given us a Chronicle of England
from the arrival of the Saxons in 449 to the year 1298, in or about which year
it appears that he died. The latter portion of this history (the whole of the
reign of Edward I. more especially) is of great value, as the writer -was con-
temporary with the events which he records. An Appendix contains several
illustrative documents connected with the previous narrative.
17. Brut t Tywtsogion ; or, The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales.
Edited hy the Eev. John Williams ab Ithel, M.A. 1860.
This work, also known as " The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales " has
been attributed to Caradoc of Llanearvan, who flourished about'the middle of
the twelfth century. It is written in the ancient Welsh language, begins with
13
the abdication and death of Caedwala at Kome, in the year 681, and continues
the history down to the subjugation ofWales by Edward I., about the year 1282.
18. A Collection of Royal and Historical Letters during the
Reign OF Henry IV. 1399-1404. Edited by the Rev. F. C. Hin-
GESTON, M.A., of Exeter College, Oxford. 1860.
This volume, lilce all the others in the series containing a miscellaneous selec-
tion of letters, is valuable on account of the light it throws upon biographical
history, and the familiar view it presents of characters, manners, and events.
The period requires much elucidation ; to which it will materially contribute.
19. The Repressor op over much Blaming of the Clergy. By
Reginald Pecock, sometime Bishop of Chichester. Vols. I. and II.
Edited by Churchill Babington, B.D., Fellow of St. John's College,
Cambridge. 1860.
The " Kepressor " may be considered the earliest piece of good theological dis-
quisition of which our English prose literature can boast. The author was born
about the end of the fourteenth century, consecrated Bishop of St. Asaph in
the year 1444, and translated to the see of Chichester in 1450. While Bishop of
St. Asaph, he zealously defended his brother prelates from the attacks of those
who censured the bishops for their neglect of duty. He maintained that it was no
part of a bishop's functions to appear in the pulpit, and that his time might be
more proiitably spent, and his dignity better maintained, in the performance of
works of a higher character. Among those who thought differently were the
Lollards, and against their general doctrines the " Eepressor " is directed. Pecock
took up a position midway between that of the Eoman Church and that of the
modem Anglican Church ; but his work is interesting chiefly because it gives a
full account of the views of the Lollards and of the arguments by which they were
supported, and because it assists us to ascertain the state of feeling which ulti-
mately led to the Reformation. Apart from religious matters, the light thrown upon
contemporaneous history is very small, but the " Eepressor " has great value
for the philologist, as it tells us what were the characteristics of the language in
use among the cultivated Englishmen of the fifteenth century. Pecock, though
an opponent of the Lollards, showed a certain spirit of toleration, for which he
received, towards the end of his life, the usual mediajval reward — persecution.
20. Annalbs Cambri.^:. Edited by the Rev. John Williams ab Ithel,
M.A. 1860.
These annals, which are in Latin, commence in the yc.ir 447, and come down
to the year 1288. The earlier portion appears to be taken from anirish Chronicle
which was also used by Tigernach, and by the compiler of the Annals of Ulster.
During its first century it contains scarcely anything relating to Britain, the
earliest direct concurrence with English history is relative to the mission of
Augustine. Its notices throughout, though brief, are valuable. The annals
were probably written at St. Davids, by Blegewryd, Archdeacon of Llandaff,
the most learned man in his day in all Cymru.
21. The Works op Giraldus Cambrensis. Vols. I., II., III., and IV.
Edited by J. S. Brevter, M.A. , Professor of English Literature, King's
College, London. Vols. V., VI., and VII. Edited by the Rev. James
F.DiMOCK, M.A., Rector ofBarnburgh, Yorkshire. 1861-1877.
These volumes contain the historical works of Gerald du Barrj-, who lived
in the reigns of Henry IL, Richard I., and John, and attempted to re-establish
the independence of Wales by restoring the see of St. Davids to its ancient
primacy. His works are of a very miscellaneous nature, both in prose and
verse, and are remarkable chiefly for the racy and original anecdotes which
they contain relating to contemporaries. He is the only Welsh writer of any
importance who has contributed so much to the mediseval literature of this
country, or assumed, in consequence of his nationality, so free and independent
a tone. His frequent travels in Italy, in France, in Ireland, and in Wales, gave
him opportunities for observation which did not generally fall to the lot of mediseval
writers in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and of these observations Giraldus
has made due use. Only extracts from these treatises have been printed before,
and almost all of them are taken from unique manuscripts.
14
The Topographia Hibernioa (iu Vol. V.) is the result of Giraldus' two visits to
Ireland. The first in the year 1183, the second in H85-6, when he accompanied
Prince John into that country. Curious as this treatise is, Mr. Dimock is of
opinion that it ought not to be accepted as sober truthful history, for Giraldus
himself states that truth was not his main object, and that he compiled the work
for the purpose of sounding the praises of iHenry the Second. Elsewhere, how-
ever, he declares that he had stated nothing in the Topographia of the truth of
which he was not well assured, either by his own eyesight or by the testimony;
with all diligence elicited, of the most trustworthy and authentic men in the
country ; that though he did not put just the same full faith in their reports as
in what he had himself seen, yet, as they only related what they had themselves
seen, he could not but believe such credible witnesses. A very interesting portion
of this treatise is devoted to the animals of Ireland. It shows that he was a very
accurate and acute observer, and his descriptions are given in a way that a
scientific naturalist of the present day could hardly improve upon. The Expug-
natio Hibernioa was written about the year 1188 and may be regarded rather
as a great epic than a sober relation of acts occurring in his own days. No
one can peruse it without coming to the conclusion that it is rather a poetical
fiction than a prosaic truthful history.
Vol. VI. contains the Itiuerarium Kambrise et Descriptio Kambria): and
Vol. VII., the lives of S. Remigius and S. Hugh. •
22. Letters and Papers illustrative op the Wars of the English
IN France during the Reign of Henrt the Sixth, King of Eng-
land. Vol. I., and Vol. II. (in Two Parts). Edited b^ the TieY. Joseph
Stevenson, M.A., of University College, Durham, and Vicar of Leighton
Buzzard. 1861-1864.
The letters and papers contained in these volumes are derived chiefly from
originals or contemporary copies extant in the Bibliothfeque Imp^riale, and the
Depot des Archives, in Paris. They illustrate the line of policy adopted by
John Duke of Bedford and his successors during their government of Normandy ,
and such other provinces of France as had been acquired by Henry V. We
may here trace, step by step, the gradual declension of the English power, until
we are prepared to read of its final overthrow.
23. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, according to the several Original
Authorities. Vol. I., Original Texts. Vol. II., Translation. Edited
and translated hy Benjamin Thorpe, Esq., Member of the Royal
Academy of Sciences at Munich, and of the Society of Netherlandish
Literature at Leyden. 1861.
This Chronicle, extending from the earliest history of Britain to the year
1154, is justly the boast of England ; for no other nation can produce any history,
written in its own vernacular, at all approaching it, either in antiquity, truthful-
ness, or extent, the historical books of the Bible alone excepted. There are at
present six independent manuscripts of the Saxon Chronicle, ending in different
years, and written in different parts of the country. In this edition, the text
of each manuscript is printed in columns on the same page, so that the student
may see at a glance the various changes which occur in orthography, whether
arising from locality or age.
24. Letters and Papers illustrative op the Reigns of Richard III.
AND Henrt VII. Vols. I. and II. Edited hy James Gairdner, Esq.
1861-1863.
The Papers are derived fpbm MSS. in the Public Eecord Office, the British
Museum, and other repositories. The period to which they refer is unusually
destitute of chronicles and other sources of historical information, so that the
light obtained from these documents is of special importance. The principal
contents of the volumes are some diplomatic Papers of Richard III. ; correspon-
dence between Henry VII. and Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain; documents
relating to Edmund de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk; and a portion of the corre-
spdndence of James IV. of Scotland.
25. Letters of Bishop Grossetbste, illustrative of the Social Condition
of his Time. Edited hy Henrt Richards Luaed, M.A., Fellow and
Assistant Tutor of Trinity College, Cambridge. 1861.
The Letters of Robert Grosseteste ( 1 3 1 in number) are here collected from varion s
sources,anc1 a large portion of them is printed for the first time. They range in
15
date from about 1210 to 1253, and relate to various matters counected not only
with the political history of England during the reign of Henry III., but with
its ecclesiastical condition. They refer especially to the diocese of Lincoln, of
which Grosseteste was bishop.
26. Desckiptitb Catalogue of Manusoeipts relating to the Histoet
OF G-EEAT Britain and Ireland. Vol. I. (in Two Parts) ; Anterior
to the Norman Invasion. . Vol. II.; 1066-1200. Vol. III.; 1200-1327.
By Sir Thomas Duffus Hardy, D.C.L., Deputy Keeper of the Public
Records. 1862-1871.
^ The object of this work is to publish notices of all known sources of British
history, both printed and unprinted, in one continued sequence. The materials,
when historical (as distinguished from biographical), are arranged under the
year in which the latest event is recorded in the chronicle or history, and not
under the period in which its author, real or supposed, flourished. Biographies
are enumerated under the year in which the person commemorated died, and not
under the year in which the life was written. This arrangement has two
advantages ; the materials for any given period may be seen at a glance ; and
if the reader knows the time when an author wrote, and the number of years
that had elapsed between the date of the events and the time the writer flourished,
he will generally be enabled to form a fair estimate of the comparative value of
the narrative itself. A brief analysis of each work has been added when deserving
it, in which the original portions are distinguished from those which are mere
compilations. "When possible, the sources are indicated from which such com-
pilations have been derived. A biographical sketch of the author of each piece
has been added, and a brief notice has also been given of such British authors as
have written on historical subjects.
27. Royal and other Historical Letters illdsteatiate op the Reign
OP Henry III. Vol. I., 1216-1235. Vol. II., 1236^1272. Selected
and edited hy the Rev. W. W. Shirley, D.D., Regius Professor in
Ecclesiastical History, and Canon of Christ Church, Oxford. 1862-
1866.
The letters contained in these volumes are derived chiefly from the ancient
correspondence formerly in the Tower of London, and now in the Public Record
Office. They illustrate the political history of England during the growth of
its liberties, and throw considerable light upon the personal history of Simon de
Montfort. The affairs of France form the subject of many of them, especially
in regard to the province of Gascony. The entire collection consists of nearly
700 documents, the greater portion of which is printed for the first time.

In the first two volumes is a History of England, from the death of
Henry III. to the death of Henry V., by Thomas Walsingham, Precentor
of St. Albans, from MS. VII. in the Arundel Collection in the College
16
of Arms, London, a manuscript of the fifteenth century, collated with MS.
13 E. IX. in the King's Library in the British Museum, and MS. VII. in the
Parlier Collection of Manuscripts at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
In the third volume is a Chronicle of English History, attributed to William
IJishanger, who lived in the reign of Edward I., from the Cotton. MS.

no sufficient ground: a short Chronicle of English History, 1292 to 1300,
by an unknown hand, from MS. Cotton. Claudius D. VI. ; a short Chronicle
Willelmi Kishanger Gesta Edwardi Pnmi, Regis Anglise, from MS. 14 C. I.
in the Royal Library, and MS. Cotton. Claudius D. VI., with Antiales Eegum

English History, 1285 to 1307.
In the fourth volume is a Chronicle of English History, 1259 to 1296,
from MS. Cotton. Claudius D. VI. : Annals of Edward II., 1307 to 1323, by

MS. Cotton. Claudius K. IV., in the British Museum : with a Con-
tinuation, from the closing pages of Parker MS. VII., in the Library of
Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
The eighth and ninth volumes, in continuation of the Annals, contain a
Chronicle, probably by John Amundesham, a monk of St. Albans.
The tenth and eleventh volumes relate especially to the acts and proceedings
of Abbots Whethamstede, Albon, and Wallingford, and may be considered as a
memorial of the chief historical and domestic events during those periods.
The twelfth volume contains a compendious History of England to the reign
of Henry v., and of Normandy in early times, also by Thomas Walsingham,
and dedicated to Henry V. The compiler has often substituted other authorities
in place of those consulted in the preparation of his larger work.

the Rev. W. D. Macray, M.A., Bodleian Library, Oxford. 1863.
The Chronicle of Evesham illustrates the history of that important monastery
from its foundation by Egwin, about 690, to the year 1418. Its chief feature is
an autobiography, which makes us acquainted with the inner daily life of a
great abbey, such as but rarely has been recorded. Interspersed are many
notices of general, personal, and local history which will be read with much
interest. This work exists in a single MS., and is for the first time printed.

in the highest veneration by the ancient sages of the law, and were received by
them as the repositories of the first recorded judgments and dicta of the great
legal luminaries of past ages. They are also worthy of the attention ot the
general reader on account of the historical information and the notices of public
and private persons which they contain, as well as the light which they throw
on ancient manners and customs.

This volume contains the narrative of an eye-witness who details with con.
siderable power and minuteness the circumstances which attended the final ex-
pulsion of the English from Normandy in the year 1450. The history commences
with the infringement of the truce by the capture of Fougeres, and ends with
the battle of Formigny and the embarkation of the Duke of Somerset. The
whole period embraced is less than (wo years.

This work consists of two parts, the History and the Cartulary of the Monastery
of St. Peter, Gloucester. The history furnishes an account of the monastery
from its foundation, in the year 681, to the early part of the reign of Richard II.,
together with a calendar of donations and benefactions. It treats principally of
the affairs of the monastery, but occasionally matt<!rs of general history are
introduced. Its authorship has generally been assigned to Walter Eroucester,
the twentieth abbot, but without any foundation.
34. Ar.EXANDUi Negkam de Natueis Reeum libri duo ; with Neckam's
Poem, De Laudibus Divine Sapienti^. Edited by Thomas Wright,
Esq., M.A. 1863.
Neckam was a man who devoted himself to science, such as it was in the
twelfth century. In the "De Naturis Rerum " are to be found what may be
called tlie rudiments of many sciences mixed up with much error and ignorance.
Neckam was not thought infallible, even by his contemporaries, for Roger Bacon
remarks of him, " this Alexander in many things wrote what was true and useful ;
" but he neither can nor ought by just title to be reckoned among authorities."
Neckam, however, had sufficient independence of thought to differ from some
of the schoolmen who in his time considered themselves the only judges of litera-
ture. He had his own views in morals, and in giving us a glimpse of them, as
well as of his other opinions, he throws much light upon the manners, customs,
and general tone of thought prevalent in the twelfth century. The poem entitled
« De Laudibus Divinaj Sapieutije" appears to be a metrical paraphrase or
abridgment of the " De Naturis Kerum." It is written in the elegiac metre,
and though there are many lines which violate classical rules, it is, as a whole,
above the ordinary standard of mediaival Latin.

and edited by the Rev. T. Oswald Cockayne, M.A., of St. John's

This work illustrates not only the history of science, but the history of super-
stition. In addition to the information bearing directly upon the medical skill
and medical faith of the times, there are many pass/iges which incidentally throw
18
light upon the general mode of life and ordinary diet. The vo-umes are interesting
not only in their scientific, but also in their social aspect. The manuscripts from
which they have been printed are valuable to the Anglo-Saxon scholar for the
illustrations they afford of Anglo-Saxon orthography.

The present collection of Monastic Annals embraces all the more important
chronicles compiled in religious houses in England during the thirteenth
century. These distinct works are ten in number. The extreme period
which they embrace ranges from the year 1 to 1432, although they refer more
especially to the reigns of John, Henry III., and Edward I. Some of these narra-
tives have already appeared in print, but others are printed forthe first time.
37. Magna Vita S. Hugonis Episcopi Lincolniensis. From Manuscripts
in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and the Imperial Library, Paris. Edited
by the Rev. Jambs F. Dimock, M.A., Rector of Barnburgh, Yorkshire.
1864.
This work contains a number of very curious and interesting incidents, and
being the work of a contemporary, is very valuable, not only as a truthful
biography of a celebrated ecclesiastic, but as the work of a man, who, from per-
sonal knowledge, gives notices of passing events, as well as of individuals who
were then taking active part In public affairs. The author, in all probability,
was Adam Abbot of Evesham. He was domestic chaplain and private confessor
of Bishop Hugh, and in these capacities was admitted to the closest intimacy.
Bishop Hugh was Prior of Witham for 11 years before he became Bishop of
Lincoln. His consecration took place on the 21st September 1186 ; he died on
the 16th of November 1200 ; and was canonized in 1220.
38. Chronicles and Memorials of the Reign of Richard tee First,
Vol. I. : — Itinbrarium Peregrinorum et Gesta Regis Ricardi.

Convent of Christ Church, Canterbury,- 1187 to 1199. Edited hy
William Stubbs, M.A., Vicar of Navestock, Essex, and Lambeth
Librarian. 1864-1865.
The authorship of the Chronicle in Vol. I., hitherto ascribed to Geoffrey
Vinesauf, is now more correctly ascribed to Richard, Canon of the Holy Trinity
of London. The narrative extends from 1187 to 1199; but its chief interest
consists in the minute and authentic narrative which it furnishes of the exploits
of Richard I., from his departure from England in December 1189 to his death
in 1199. The author states in his prologue that he was an eye-witness of much
that he records ; and various incidental circumstances which occur in the course
of the narrative confirm this assertion.
The letters in Vol. II., written between 1187 and 1199, are of value as
furnishing authentic materials for the history of the ecclesiastical condition of
England during the rejgn of Richard I. They had their origin in a dispute which
arose from the attempts of Baldwin and Hubert, archbishops of Canterbury, to
found a college of secular canons, a project which gave great umbrage to the
monks of Canterbury, who saw m it a design to supplant them in their function
of metropolitan chapter. These letters are printed, for the first time, from a MS.
belonging to the archiepiscopal library at Lambeth.

William. Haedt, Esq., F.S.A. 1864.
This curious chronicle extends from the fabulous period of history down to the
return of Edward IV. to England in the year 1471 after the second deposition of
Henry VI. The manuscript from which the text of the work is taken is pre-
served in the Imperial Library at Paris, and is believed to he the only complete
and nearly contemporary copy in existence. The work, as originally bound,
was comprised in six volumes, since rebound in morocco in 12 volumes, folio
maximo, vellum, and is illustrated with exquisite miniatures, vignettes, and initial
letters. It was written towards the end of the fifteenth century, having been
expressly executed for Louis de Bruges, Seigneur de la Gruthuyse and Earl of
Winchester, from whose cabinet it passed into the library of Louis XII. at Elois .

fessor of Divinity, Vicar of St. Edward's, Fellow of St. Catharine's
College, and late Fellow of Magdalene College, Cambiidge. 1865-1883.
This is one of the many mediaeval chronicles which assume the character of a
history of the world. It begins with the creation, and is brought down to the
author's own time, the reign of Edward III. Prefixed to the historical portion, is
a chapter devoted to geography, in which is given a description of every known
land. To say that the Polychronicon was written in the fourteenth century is to
say that it is not free from inaccuracies. It has, however, a value apart from its
intrinsic merits. It enables us to form a very fair estimate of the knowledge of
history and geography which well-informed readers of the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries possessed, for it was then the standard work on general history.
The two English translations, which are printed with the original Latin, afford
interesting illustrations of the gradual change of our language, for one was made
in the fourteenth century, the other in the fifteenth. The differences between
Trevisa's version and that of the unknown writer are often considerable.
42. Lb Livere de Reis de Brittanie e Le Livere de Eeis de
Engletere. Edited by John G-loyee, M.A., Vicar of Brading, Isle of
Wight, formerly Librarian of Trinity College, Cambridge. 1865.
These two treatises, though they cannot rank as independent narratives, are
nevertheless valuable as careful abstracts of previous historians, especially "Le
Livere de Keis de Engletere." Some various readings are given which are
interesting to the philologist as instances of semi-Saxonized Erench.
It is supposed that Peter of Ickham must have been the author, but no certain
conclusion on that point has been arrived at.
48. Chronica MoNASTERn de Melsa, ab Anno 1150 usque ad Annum
1406. Vols. I., II., and III. Edited by Edward Augustus Bond, Esq.,
Assistant Keeper of the Manuscripts, and Egerton Librarian, British
Museum. 1866-1868.
The Abbey of Meaux was a Cistercian house, and the work of its abbot is both
. curious and valuable. It is a faithful and often minute record of the establishment
of a religions community, of its progress in forming an ample revenue, of its
struggles to maintain its acquisitions, and of its relations to the governing
institutions of the country. In addition to the private affairs of the monastery,
some light is thrown upon the public events of the time, which are however kept
distinct, and appear at the end of the history of each abbot's administration. The
text has been printed from what is said to be the autograph of the original
compiler, Thomas de Burton, the nineteenth abbot.
44. MATTH^I PARISIENSIS HisTORIA AnGLOEUM, SIVE, UT TULGO DIOITUE,

Febderio Madden, K.H., Keeper of the Department of Manuscripts,
British Museum. 1866-1869.
The exact date at which this work was written is, according to the chronicler,
1250. The history is of considerable value as an illustration of the period during
z z 2
20
which the author lived, and contains a good summary of the events which followed
the Conquest. This minor chronicle is, howerer, based on another work Talso
written by Matthew Taris) giving fuller details, which has been called the
" Historia Major." The chronicle here published, nevertheless, gives some
information not to be found in the greater history,
i). LllJBR MONASTEUII UE RydX : A CHRONICLE AND ChARTULAKT OF
llrDK Ai!BKY,WiNC[iESTER,45o-1023. Edited,from a Manuscript in the
Library of the Earl of Macclesfield, by Edward Edwards, Esq. 1866.
The "Book of Hyde " is a compilation from much earlier sources which arc
usually indicated with considerable care and precision. In many cases, however,
tlie Hyde chronicler appears to correct, to qualify, or to amplify — either from
tradition or from sources of information not now discoverable — the statements,
which, in substance, he adopts. He also mentions, and frequently quotes from
writers whose works are either entirely lost or at present known only by fragments.
There is to be found, in the "Book of Hyde," much information relating to the
reign of King Alfred which is not known to exist elsewhere. The volume
contains some curious specimens of Anglo-Saxon and Mediaeval English.
43. Chkonicon Scotorum : a Chronicle of Irish Affairs, from the
Earliest Times to 1135 ; ivith a Sdpplement, containing the Events
from 1141 to 1150. Edited, with a Translation, by William Macnskll
Hennessy, Esq., M.R.T.A. 1866.
There is, in this volume, a legendary account of the peopling of Ireland and of
the adventures which befell the various heroes who are said to have been con-
nected with Irish history. The details are, however, very meagre both for this
period and for the time when history becomes more authentic. The plan adopted
in the chronicle gives the appearance of an accuracy to which the earlier portions
of the work cannot have any claim. The succession of events is marked, year by
year, from a.m. 1.599 to a.d. 1150. The principal events narrated in the later
portion of the work are, the invasions of foreigners, and the wars of the Irish
among themselves. The text has been printed from a MS. preserved in tlic
ibrary of Trinity College, Dublin, written partly in Latin, partly in Irish.
47. The Chronicle op Pierre de Langtoft, in French Verse, from
THE earliest Period to the Death of Edward I. Vols. I. and II.
Edited by Thomas Wright, Esq., M.A, 1866-1868.
It is probable that Pierre de Langtoft was a canon of Bridlington, iu Yorkshire,
and that he lived in the reign of Edward I., and during a portion of the reign of
Edward II. This chronicle is divided into three parts; in the first is an
abridgment of Geoffrey of Monmouth's " Historia Britonum," in the second, a
history of the Anglo-Saxon and Norman kings, down to the death of Henry III,,
and in the third a history of the reign of Edward I. The principal object of the
work was apparently to show the justice of Edward's Scottish wars. The
language is singularly corrupt, andacurious speciraenof the French of Yorkshire.
48. The War of the Gaedhil with the Gaill, or. The Invasions of
Ireland by the Danes and other Norsemen. Edited, 7vith a
Translation, by James Henthorn Todd, D,D., Senior Fellow of
Trinity College, and Regius Professor of Hebrew in the Universitj'
Dublin, 1867.
The work in its present form, in the editor's opinion, is a comparatively modern
version of an undoubtedly ancient original. That It was compiled from contem-
porary materials has been proved by curious incidental evidence. It is stated iu
the account given of the battle of Clontarf that the full tide in Dublin Bay on the
day of the battle (23 April 1014) coincided with sunrise ; and that the returning
tide in the evening aided considerably in the defeat of the Danes. The fact has
been verified by astronomical calculations, and the inference is that the author of
the chronicle, if not himself an eye-witness, must have derived his information
f.'om those who were eye-witnesses. The contents of the work are sufiicientlv
described in its title. The story is told after the manner of the Scandinavisn
Sagas, with poems and fragments of poems introduced into the prose narrative.
49. Gesta Regis Hbnrici Seoundi Benedioti Abbatis. The Chronicle

Edited by William Stubbs, M,A., Eegius Professor of Modern Hie-
tory, Oxford, and Lambeth Librarian, 1867.
This chronicle of the reigns of Henry II. and Hichard I., known commonly
under the name of Benedict of Peterborough, is one of the best existing speci-
mens of a class of historical compositions of the first importance to the student.

This work will supply materials for a History of Academical Life and Studies
in the University of Oxford during the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries.
51. Chronica Maqistri Rogeri de Houedene. Vols. I., II., Ill,, and IV,
Edited by William Stubbs, M.A., Eegius Professor of Modern History ,
and Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. 1868-1871.
This work has long been justly celebrated, but not thoroughly understood until
Mr. Stubbs' edition. The earlier portion, extending from 732 to 1148, appears
to be a copy of a compilation made in Northumbria about 1161, to which
Hoveden added little. From 1148 to 1169 — a very valuable portion of this
work — the matter is derived from another source, to which Hoveden appears to
have supplied little, and not always judiciously. From 1170 to 1192 is the
portion which corresponds with the Chronicle known under the name of
Benedict of Peterborough (see No. 49) ; but it is not a copy, being sometimes
an abridgment, at others a paraphrase ; occasionally the two works entirely
agree ; showing that both writers had access to the same materials, but dealt
with them differently. From 1192 to 1201 may be said to be wholly Hoveden 'b
work : it is extremely valuable, and an authoriQr of the first importance.
52. WiLLELMi Malmesbiriensis Monachi de Gestis Pontificdm Anglo-
rum LiBRi QuiNQUE. Edited, from William of Malmesbury's Auto-
graph MS., by N. E. S. A. Hamilton, Esq., of the Department of
Manuscripts, British Museum. 1870,
William of Malmesbury's " Gesta Pontificum " is the principal foundation of
English Ecclesiastical Biography, down to the year 1122. The manuscript
which has been followed in this Edition is supposed by Mr. Hamilton to be the
author's autograph, containing his latest additions and amendments.
53. Historic and Municipal Documents of Ireland, from the Archives
of the City ok Dublin, &c, 1172-1;!20. Edited by John T. Gilbert,
Esq., F.S.A., Secretary of the Public Record Office of Ireland. 1870.
A collection of original documents, elucidating mainly the history and condition
of the municipal, middle, and trading classes under or in relation with the
rule of England in Ireland, — a subject hitherto in almost total obscurity.
Extending over the first hundred and fifty years of the Anglo-Korman
settlement, the series includes charters, municipal laws and regulations, rolls of
names of citizens and members of merchant-guilds, lists of commodities with
their rates, correspondence, illustrations of relations between ecclesiastics and
laity J together with many documents exhibiting the state of Ireland during the
presence there of the Scots under Bobert and Edward Bruce.
54. The Annals of Loch Ce, A Chronicle of Irish Affairs, from
1014 to 1590. Vols. I. and II. Edited, with a Translation, by
William Maunsbll Hennesst, Esq., M.E.I.A. ■1871.
The original of this chronicle has passed under various names. The title of
" Annals of Loch Ce" was given to it by Professor O'Curry, on the ground that
it was transcribed for Brian Mac Dermot, an Irish chieftain, who resided on the
island in Loch C^, in the county of Eoscommon. It adds much to the materia's
for the civil and ecclesiastical history of Ireland ; and contains mafiy curious
references to English and foreign affairs, not noticed in any other chronicle.

Appendices, "Vols. I., IT., IIL, and IV, Edited by Sir Travees
Twiss, Q.C., D.C.L. 1871-1876. ,,-,,,
This book contains the ancient ordmances and laws relatmg to the navy
and was probably compiled for the use of the Lord High Admiral of England
Selden calls it the "jewel of the Admiralty Eecords." Prynne ascribes to the
Black Book the same authority in the Admiralty as the Black and Eed Books
have in the Court of E^fchequer, and most English writers on maritime law
recognize its importance.

56. MEMOEiAis OF THE Eeign OF Henky VI. : — Official Coerespondence
OF Thomas Bekynton, Secketaey to Henet VI., and Bishop
of Bath and Wells. Edited, from a MS. in the Archiepiscopal
Library at Lambeth, with an Appendix of Illustrative Documents, by tbe
Rev-. GrEOEGB Williams, B.D., Vicar of Eingwood, late Fellow of King's
College, Cambridge. Vols. I. and II. 1872.
These curious volumes are of a miscellaneous character, and were probably
compiled under the inamediate direction of Bekynton before he had attained
to the Episcopate. They contain many of the Bishop's ownletters, and several
written by him in the King's name ; also letters to himself while Koyal Secre-
tary, and others addressed to the King. This work elucidates some points in
'the history of the nation during the first half of the fifteenth century.

This work contains the "Chronica Majora" of Matthew Paris, one of the
most valuable and frequently consulted of the ancient English Chronicles. It
is published from its commencement, for the fii-st time. The editions by Arch-
bishop Parker, and William Wats, severally begin at the Norman Conquest.
58. Memoeiale Feateis Walteei de Coventeia. — The Histoeical

the MS. in the Library oj Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, by
William Stubbs, M.A., Regius Professor of Modern History, and Fellow
of Oriel College, Oxford. 1872-1873.
This work, now printed in full for the first time, has long been a desideratum
by Historical Scholars. The first portion, however, is not of much importance,
being only a compilation from earlier writers. The part relating to the first
quarter of the thirteenth century is the most valuable and interesting.
59. The Anglo-Latin Satieical Poets and Epigeammatists op the

Institute of France (Academic des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres).' 1872.
The Poems contained in these volumes have long been known and appreciated
as the best satires of the age in which their authors flourished, and were deservedly
popular during the 13th and 14th centuries.

and ecclesiastical, and is the earliest Register of the Palatinate of Durham.
63. Mbmoeials of Saint Dunstan Aechbishop of Canteebuey. ■ Edited
from various MSS., by William Stubbs, M.A., Regius Professor of
Modern History, and Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. 1874.
This volume contains several lives of Archbishop Dunstan, one of the most
celebrated Primates of Canterbury. They open various point,s of Historical
23
and Literary interest, without whicli our knowledge of the period would be
more incomplete than it is at present.

This important and unique survey of the greater portion of England* is the
oldest and most valuable record in the national archives. It was commenced
about the year 1084 and finished in 1086. Its compilation was determined upon
at Gloucester by William the Conqueror, in council, in order that he might
know what was due to him, in the way of tax, from his subjects, and that each
at the same time might know what he had to pay. It was compiled as much
for their protection as for the benefit of the sovereign. The nobility and people
had been grievously distressed at the time by the king bringing over large num-
bers of French and Bretons, and quartering them on his subjects, " each accord-
" ing to the measure of his land," for the purpose of resisting the invasion of
Gnut, King of Denmark, which was apprehended. The commissioners appointed
to make the survey were to inquire the name of each place ; who held it in the
time of King Edward the Confessor ; the present possessor ; how many hides
were in the manor ; how many ploughs were in demesne ; how many homagers ;
now many villeins ; how many cottars ; how many serving men; how many free
tenants ; how many tenants in soccage ; how much wood, meadow, and pasture ;
the number of mills and fish-ponds ; what had been added or taken away from
the place ; what was the gross value in the time of Edward the Confessor ; the
present value ; and how much each free man or soc-man had, and whether any
advance could be made in the value. Thus could be ascertained who held the
estate in the time of King Edward ; who then held it ; its value in the time of
the late king; and its value as it stood at the formation of the survey. So
minute was the survey, that the writer of the contemporary portion of the Saxon
Chronicle records, with some asperity — " So very narrowly he caused it to be
" traced out, that there was not a single hide, nor one virgate of land, nor even,
" it is shame to tell, though it seemed to him no shame to do, an ox, nor a cow,
" nor a swine was left, that was not set down."
Domesday Survey is in two parts or volumes. The first, in folio, contains the
counties of Bedford, Berks, Bucks, Cambridge, Chester and Lancaster, Corn-
wall, Derby, Devon, Dorset, Gloucester, Hants, Hereford, Herts, Huntingdon ,
Kent, Leicester and Rutland, Lincoln, Middlesex, Northampton, Nottingham,
Oxford, Salop, Somerset, Stafford, Surrey, Sussex, Warwick, Wilts, Worcester,
and York. The second volume, in quarto, contains the counties of Essex,
Norfolk, and Sufi'olk.
Domesday Book vras printed verbatim et literatim during the last century, in
consequence of an address of the House of Lords to King George III. in 1767.
It was not, however, commenced until 1773, and was completed early in 1783.
In 1860, Her Majesty's Government, with the concurrence of the Master of the
Rolls, determined to apply the art of photozincography to the production of a
fac-simile of Domesday I3ook, under the superintendence of Colonel Sir Henrv
James. R.E., Director of the Ordnance Survey, Southampton. The fac-simile was
completed in 1863.
• For some reason left unexplained, many parts were left unsurveyed ; Northumberland, Cumberland ,
Westmoreland, and Durham, are not described in the siirvey; nor does Lancashire appear under its
nrooer name • but Fumess, and the northeni part of Tjanoasliire, as well as the south of Westmoreland
with a part of Cumberland, are included within the West Riding of Yorkshire. That part of Lancashire
which lies between the Rihble and Mersey, and which at the time of the survey comprehended 688
minors Js joined to Oheshirn.' Part of Rutland is deseribodin the counties ofNorth&mpton and Llncojp

This work is intended to form a comprehensive Palaeographic Series for
Ireland. It will furnish characteristic specimens of the documents which
have come down from each of the classes which, in past ages, formed principal
elements in the population of Ireland, or exercised an influence in her affairs.
With these reproductions will be combined fac-similes of writings connected
with eminent personages or transactions of importance in the annals of the
country' to the end of the reign of Queen Anne.
The specimens are reproduced as nearly as possible in accordance with the
originals, in dimensions, colouring, and general appearance. Characteristic
examples of styles of writing and caligraphic ornamentation are, so far as
practicable, associated with subjects of historic and linguistic interest.
Descriptions of the various manuscripts are given by the Editor in the Intro-
duction. The contents of the specimens are fullj' elucidated and printed in the
original languages, opposite to the Fac-similes — line for line — without contrac-
tions— thus facilitating reference and aiding effectively those interested in
pala;ographic studies.
In the work are also printed in full, for the first time, many original and
important historical documents.
Part I. commences with the earliest Irish MSS. extant.
Part II. : From the Twelfth Century to A.D. 1299.
Part III. : From A.D. 1300 to end of reign of Henry VIII.
Part IV. 1. : From reign of Edward VI. to that of James I.
In Part IV. 2. — now in the Press — the Work will be carried down to the
eighteenth century.
