becaule they atife not from any guilt ofour owne aéiione,

V but from the evill defignes and attempts of others.

To this ourhnrnble an fiver to that lpeech, wee defire to

: adde an information which we l.1l'€l)7 received Fr In the De-

puty governour of the Merchant ailventurers at Hot terdam
in Holland, That an unknown perfon appertaining to the
£orclDigl2y did lately follicite one I.m¢e.r Herzl} a Mariner to ...

t goe to zymore, and to take charge ofa {hip in thefleet of
the King of Dcizifimr/{E there prepared ,which he fhonld con- ‘I

duct to Hull : In which fleet likewife hefaid a great Annie
was to betranf ported. And although wearenotapt to give
credit to informations of this nature, yet we cannotalto~
gether thinke it ‘fit to be negletfted, but thatrit may juflly ad
fbmewhat to the weight of our {cares and jealoulies ,. ‘c0n-

fidering withwhat circumliances it is accompanied of the a

Lord Digéyer preceding expresfious in his -t Letter to her
Maje.{iy,and Sinzcwir Dizmgand your Majeliies fucceeding
‘ t “ courfe

courle of withdrawing your felfe Notthward from your

Parliament, ina manner very futable and correlpondeut to i

that evil! Counfell.

A Which we doubt vvill make much deeper impteffion «in   i

the generality of your people. And therefore wemoftrhum-

bly ad vile and befeech your lV.laje{iy for the procuring and l A

fletling the confidence of your parliament and all your Subs ~
je-63., andfor the other important reafons concerning the  

recovery of Ireland,’ and fecuring this Kingdome , i which

A havebian formerly prefented rollyourlh/Iajelly, you will bee

gracioully plealied with all convenient fpeed to retutne to

' thefe parts , and to clof: with the Counfell and defite of

your parliament : where you {hall find thtii” dutiful] all"eé’ri-i
