An
Introduction
To
the
TREATISE
.
GReat
Adventures
are
accompanyed
with
Equal
hazzards
and
advantages
,
and
men
of
noble
principles
rather
take
incouragement
to
improve
their
Countrey
by
lawful
Enterprises
,
than
to
sit
still
and
suffer
Penurie
through
fear
and
negligence
:
The
wisdome
of
all
Ages
provided
safe
Conducts
for
Merchants
,
under
the
sanctuary
and
protection
of
Jus
Gentium
,
and
National
Treaties
;
therefore
they
that
suffer
Injuries
by
the
Insolent
Subjects
of
Foraign
States
,
without
seeking
Satisfaction
and
Reparation
answerable
to
the
Damnum
Emergens
,
forfeit
not
onely
their
own
Proprieties
,
but
betray
both
the
Honour
and
Justice
of
their
PRINCE
,
and
the
Strength
and
Courage
of
His
Subjects
.
Felons
by
the
Law
of
ENGLAND
are
not
admitted
Counsel
,
or
any
Testimonies
upon
Oath
;
for
that
such
Criminal
offences
are
contra
Pacem
&
Dignitatem
Domini
Regis
,
&c.
and
Murtherers
are
punished
with
Death
by
the
Law
of
all
Nations
.
Trespasses
according
to
their
circumstances
are
considered
in
the
Eye
of
the
Law
:
To
strike
a
Peasant
bears
an
Action
,
but
to
strike
a
Peer
bears
a
greater
:
Robberies
committed
at
noon-day
,
in
the
open
Roads
,
are
laid
to
the
Countries
charge
;
for
that
Theives
were
harboured
within
the
Jurisdiction
of
a
Civil
Government
:
Among
the
Greeks
;
if
a
Murtherer
flew
into
any
City
for
refuge
,
they
Apprehended
three
of
the
Inhabitants
,
and
kept
them
in
safe
custody
until
Justice
were
done
upon
the
Offender
:
To
deny
or
delay
Justice
,
is
Injustice
;
and
where
there
is
a
Persistency
in
it
,
Grotius
(
who
was
both
a
Divine
and
a
Civil
Lawyer
)
says
that
Letters
of
Reprisal
are
consonant
to
Law
,
and
therein
Nations
as
well
as
Persons
are
concerned
:
The
Sacred
Scripture
directs
a
threefold
Restitution
for
Goods
unjustly
taken
,
and
the
Church
of
Rome
Excommunicates
those
that
detain
any
thing
from
persons
suffering
by
Distresse
at
Sea
,
accounting
it
so
Detestable
a
sin
,
that
they
are
Accursed
,
and
shall
not
obtain
Remission
until
they
have
made
full
satisfaction
.
Generous
Spirits
are
obliged
by
Kindnesse
,
being
sensible
of
Honour
and
Gratitude
;
but
the
Jewish
generation
of
obstinate
men
,
that
deems
it
no
sin
to
cheat
Christians
,
being
Incorporated
into
the
East-India
Company
of
the
Netherlands
,
holds
it
more
shameful
to
Restore
than
to
Steal
;
and
for
their
private
Interest
,
will
(
if
possible
)
Engage
the
Seven
Provinces
in
an
unlawful
War
,
than
yeild
to
reasonable
tearms
for
their
Peace
.
There
are
many
that
justly
call
themselves
Sufferers
in
this
case
,
and
Poterunt
litem
inceptam
prosequi
,
not
doubting
in
the
least
of
a
good
Issue
upon
the
foundations
of
Justice
and
Equity
:
The
precept
of
Law
is
to
Doe
right
to
Every
man
;
and
Demosthenes
the
renowned
Orator
defines
it
to
be
the
Gift
of
God
as
well
as
the
Decrees
of
Learned
men
:
The
Laws
of
ENGLAND
are
most
clear
in
the
Point
,
under
which
(
qui
se
jacturam
passos
dicunt
in
duabus
Navibus
,
&c.
)
they
are
subject
,
there
needs
no
Commentary
upon
the
Text
,
being
established
upon
the
grounds
of
right
reason
and
judgment
.
Having
glanced
at
the
several
Heads
in
the
following
Discourse
,
before
I
come
to
the
Proceedings
upon
the
Controversie
begun
,
it
's
necessary
to
open
the
Cause
,
that
the
Reader
may
not
be
perplext
in
various
turnings
to
lose
his
way
.
I
shall
then
in
Bona
Esperanza
sail
to
the
Henry
Bona
Adventure
,
and
enter
the
Particulars
of
the
Goods
and
Fraights
taken
in
on
their
Trading
Voyages
,
and
declare
the
accompts
,
and
opinions
both
of
the
most
Learned
in
the
Laws
,
and
experienced
in
Policies
and
Reasons
of
State
that
say
,
If
the
full
Loss
and
Damages
be
not
satisfied
according
to
the
Proofs
in
the
Admiralty
,
the
Conclusion
(
for
English
Affairs
)
will
be
far
worse
than
the
Premises
.

KIng

seriously
considering

Honour

finding

sad
experience
that
the

persued
their

then
sent

The

perceiving
that
both

naturally
more
kindness

Envyed

,
the
Civil
Wars
broke
out
in

soon
after

further

,
where
the
Dutch
under

of

,
seised
and
possessed
themselves

,
and

;
and
afterwards
led

streets
of
Batavia
in

,
dragging
also
the
Kings
Colours
after
them
in
triumph
,
contrary
to
the
Laws
of
Nations
and
Common
amity
:
all
which
tended
to
the
dammage
of
Mr.
Courten
and
the
interessed
in
that
Voyage
,
the
Summe
75000
l.
or

appear
by
the
authentique
proofs
taken
(
in
perpetuam
rei
memoriam
)
in
His
Majesties
High
Court
of
Admiralty
in
England
.
Upon
the
news
of
these
violent
and
inhumane
dealings
,
Mr.
Courten
was
forced
to
absent
himself
from
the
Exchange
,
his
Bills
were
protested
in
England
,
Holland
and
Zeland
,
so
he
became
insolvent
,
and
was
outlawed
with
Sir
Edward
Littleton
in
the
Years
1644.
and
1645.
for
the
Sum
of
Fifty
thousand
pounds
,
or
thereabouts
:
Sir
Edward
Littleton
being
then
sequestered
for
his
Fidelity
and
Allegiance
to
his
Majesty
,
and
in
the
actual
Service
of
the
King
,
could
not
appear
to
prosecute
his
action
either
before
the
Parliament
or
the
Courts
of
Holland
,
for
reparation
of
the
said
violent
injuries
aforesaid
.
Sir
Paul
Pindar
having
taken
up
several
great
summes
of
money
,
and
advanced
them
to
the
Kings
use
,
was
with
the
rest
of
the
Commissioners
for
the
contracted
Farms
of
the
Customs
,
Fined
150000
l.
by
the
Parliament
,
and
also
prosecuted
at
Law
for
the
said
Debts
,
whereby
he
became
a
Prisoner
to
his
own
house
,
and
during
the
late
distempered
Times
made
incapable
to
look
after
his
proportion
of
the
said
Damages
from
the
East-India
Company
of
Holland
.
Mr.
William
Courten
being
indebted
(
as
it
's
pretended
)
unto
one
Jacob
Pergens
of
Amsterdam
,
one
Peter
Boudan
Courten
of
Middleburg
,
David
Goubart
,
and
others
their
Confederates
in
London
,
combining
together
,
perswaded
Mr.
Courten
to
appear
before
John
Marius
Publique
Notary
,
and
make
a
Procuration
bearing
date
at
London
the
27.
of
October
1645.
giving
power
to
the
said
Pergens
to
implead
,
recover
and
receive
of
the
said
Company
satisfaction
for
the
Losses
and
depredations
aforesaid
,
but
to
the
use
of
Mr.
Courten
.
Afterwards
perceiving
the
Times
grew
more
desperate
,
and
that
Sir
Edward
Littleton
and
Sir
Paul
Pindar
were
plunged
into
most
lamentable
conditions
and
oppressions
,
they
insinuated
to
Mr.
Courten
that
notwithstanding
the
former
Deeds
of
Bargain
and
Sale
to
the
said
Sir
Edward
Littleton
and
Sir
Paul
Pindar
,
their
Estates
being
confiscated
,
and
themselves
lost
irrecoverably
in
opinion
of
the
world
,
he
might
make
other
Transports
of
the
said
Ships
Bona
Adventure
and
Bona
Esperanza
,
with
the
Goods
,
Effects
,
and
Proceeds
thereof
,
to
him
the
said
Pergens
,
for
satisfaction
of
his
pretended
Debt
aforesaid
.
Mr.
Will
.
Courten
being
divided
in
his
own
thoughts
,
told
the
said
Confederates
that
he
could
not
do
any
such
acts
without
arraigning
his
own
understanding
,
and
wounding
the
reputation
of
himself
and
his
Family
;
yet
notwithstanding
through
much
importunity
and
perswasion
,
being
driven
to
great
necessity
,
having
lived
in
obscurity
three
years
together
,
he
came
privately
on
the
10
of
Decemb.
1647.
before
Joshua
Maniett
Publique
Notary
at
London
,
and
took
upon
himself
to
uake
an
absolute
Transport
and
Bill
of
Sale
of
the
said
Goods
,
Ships
and
all
Proceeds
coming
and
arising
from
them
,
to
Jacob
Pergens
now
as
his
own
proper
Goods
.
About
six
weeks
after
the
said
William
Courten
arrived
in
Holland
,
and
delivered
to
Mr.
Jacob
Pergens
and
David
Goubart
the
Counterpart
of
the
said
Tripartite
Indenture
signed
and
sealed
by
Sir
Edward
Littleton
and
Sir
Paul
Pindar
,
in
whose
hands
the
same
is
yet
remaining
,
who
then
were
advised
by
their
Advocates
upon
perusing
of
the
said
Deed
to
perswade
Mr.
William
Courten
to
make
another
Transport
in
Holland
,
who
came
privately
to
the
Hague
in
his
passage
towards
Italy
(
where
he
dyed
)
and
appeared
before
Solomon
Vander
Heyde
Publique
Notary
,
upon
the
22
of
Febr.
1648.
and
took
upon
him
to
make
another
Transport
or
Bill
of
Sale
,
reciting
the
names
of
the
Ships
,
particulars
of
the
Goods
and
Fraights
,
and
then
granted
them
to
the
said
Pergens
in
rem
suam
,
accepting
of
some
small
parcells
of
money
for
his
charges
,
and
so
took
his
Farewel
of
the
said
Pergens
,
Boudan
Courten
&
Goubart
,
leaving
the
shame
upon
them
and
the
East-India
Company
,
who
fraudulently
combined
to
oppresse
the
Fatherlesse
and
Widows
,
and
intended
to
deceive
them
of
their
Just
Rights
.
And
the
better
to
colour
over
their
practises
and
designes
,
they
procured
Letters
from
His
late
Majestie
(
when
he
was
under
the
treachery
of
a
Presbyterian
Party
,
and
the
force
of
an

)

they
are
but
creditive
,
and
referring
to
that
you
have
from

in
Charge
,
which
is
as
followeth
;
That
a
Ship

to
William
Courten
Esquire
,
laden
with
his
goods
,
and
with
other

Portugalls
,
chanced
to
be
assaulted
by
two
Ships
of
the
Netherlands
East-India
Company
in
the
Straights
of
Malacca
,
upon
or
about
the
26.

fight

the
rest

great
rigour
,

disposed
of
Ship

Lading

might

Threescore
thousand

,
was
forced
upon

and
there
with

Of

Having

given
a

Abstracts
of

Deeds
and
Writings
out

,
to

I
refer
,
now
follows
in

the
Second
Part
of
the
Case
,
wherein
is
set
forth
the
Practise
and
Combination
of
Mr.
Pergens
and
his
Confederates
;
and
the
prohibition
of
Sir
Paul
Pindar
,
with
the
Proceedings
of
Jonas
Abeels
at
Amsterdam
thereupon
.
SIr
Paul
Pindar
being
advertised
by
some
Friends
that
William
Courten
had
taken
upon
him
to
make
other
Procurations
,
Transports
or
Assignements
of
the
said
Bona
Esperanza
and
Henry

,
and
of

,
to
Mr.
Jacob
Pergens
,
notwithstanding
his
former
Grants
,
Bargains
and
Sales
for
such
valuable
Considerations
as
aforesaid
;
then
the
said
Sir
Paul
Pindar
by
Procuration
bearing
date
at
London
the
11.
of
February
1647.
impowered
Jonas
Abeels
Merchant
of
Amsterdam
,
to
Implead
the
said
East-India
Company
,
and
to
recover
and
receive
of
the
said
Company
all
such
sum
and
sums
of
money
,
Costs
and
Damages
as
were
and
should
be
coming
unto
him
for
the
Losses
and
Spoyls
aforesaid
;
which
act
was
attested
by
Joshua
Maniet
Publique

aforesaid
.
Before
any
Treaty
or

could
be
made
between
Pergens

the

,
Jonas
Abeels
insinuated
(
to
the
Directors
of
the

by

his

Assignement
of
the
said
Ships
,
Goods
and
Ladings
from
William
Courten
and
Sir

Littleton
under
which
he
claimed
,
and
that
in
case
they
made
any
Agreements
with
Mr.
Pergens
or
any
other
it
would
tantamount
to
no
effect
,
giving
the
Bewinthebbers
or
Directors
a
Copy
of
the
said
Deed
of
Assignment
,
protesting
against
them
for
the
Dammages
already
sustained
,
or
that
should
be
sustained
,
by
reason
of
the
premisses
,
as
appears
by
the
said
Act
of
Insinuation
,
in
the
Register
at

the

VVilliam
Tombes
finding
that
the
Dutch
Commissioners
would
not
do
him
justice
in
England
,
was
unwilling
to
follow
them
to
Amsterdam
as
they
desired
,
to
proceed
against
the
Company
,
where
Jonas
Abeels
had
done
for
Sir
Paul
Pindar
before
;
and
being
very
sensible
how
tedious
,
vexatious
,
and
expensive
the
Court
of
Holland
,
the
Hogen
Rade
,
and
the
Revisions
,
were
at
the
Hague
,
after
the
first
Trial
was
over
before
their
competent
Judges
(
as
they
call
them
)
in
the
Cities
;
Considering
those
things
,
and
being
afflicted
with
some
other
troubles
,
he
was
not
able
to
contain
himself
with
patience
,
but
chose
rather
a
quick
dispatch
and
hanged
himself
in
the
year
following
:
Whereupon
Letters
of
Administration
de
bonis
non
cum

of
Sir
Paul

were
granted
to
Sir
William
Powell

,
who
claims
the
part
and
proportion
due
to
Sir
Paul
Piudar
;
and
Sir
Edward
Littleton
did
by
his
Deed
of
Assignment
dated
the
23
of
August
1656.
grant
and
assign
all
his
right
,
property
and
Interest
of
,
in
,
and
unto
the
said
Ships
,
Goods
,
and
Effects
whatsoever
,
unto
John
Ayton
,
George
Carew
,
and
their
Assigns
for
ever
.
And
although
they
could
not
appeal
for
justice
to
the
Parliament
before
Cromwell
's
Usurpation
,
being
Delinquents
,
and
in
Cromwell
's
time
could
not
prosecute
their
pretences
in
Holland
being
his
declared
Enemies
;
yet
now
our
Good
Hope
is
,
that
we
shall
receive
our
good
Adventure
with
reparation
and
dammages
,
since
the
King
of
Great
Britain
is
restored
:
Therefore
I
shall
now
go
forwards
,

prosecute
the
Suit
begun
at
the

significant

nature
;
I
told
your

there
was
just
grounds
of
Complaint

prosecuted

found
great
experience

I
have
therefore
in
plain

set
forth
the
true
State
of
the
whole
matter
,
with
some
observations
upon
former
proceedings
to
satisfie
all
persons
concerned
,
that
several
actions
and
complaints
have
been
brought
in
this
case
in
the
late
distempered
times
some
of
them
through
delay
of
Justice
suffered
non-suits
,
others
by
denial
,
and
death
of
the
parties
abated
,

and
divers
through
the
defect
of

them
were

But
this

incepta
now

with
your

which

of
Our

wherein
We
thought
good
at
the
humble
Suit

Our
said
Subjects
,
and
out
of
the
gracious
sense
We
have
of
their
unjust
sufferings
in
that
businesse
,
particularly
to
recommend
it
to
the
said
States
General
,
that
a
full

be
made

injured

you
fully
represent
in
Our
Name
to
the

States
,
together
with
the
sense
We
more
especially
have
of
the
evident
Oppression
and
Violence
so
many
of
Our
good
Subjects
have
so
long
lain
under
:
And
further
that
you
sollicite
by
all
good

a
speedy

accompt
of
this
Businesse
,
which
We
will
that
you
thereupon
return

And
so
We
bid
you

MOst
High
and
Mighty
Lords
,
Our
good
Friends
,
Allies

and

Upon
the
reiterated
Complaints
of
many
of
Our
Loving
Subjects
,
the
Interessed
in
the
Ships
the
Bona
Esperanza
,
and
the
Henry
Bona
Adventure
of
London
,
We
could
not
refuse
the
effects
of
that
protection
which
We
owe
to
all
Our
Suubjects
,
Considering
more
especially
that
they
are
such
as
have
very
much
merited
by
a
faithful
adhering
to
Our
interests
,
which
during
the
late
disorders
in
Our
Kingdomes
,
hindered
them
to
crave
that
satisfaction
which
they
might
have
assured
themselves
of
from
Us
,
in
so
just
a
Cause
;
We
have
therefore
given
Order
unto
Sir
George
Downing
Our
Envoy
Extraordinary
,
to
make
known
unto
you
the
businesse
at
large
,
with
the
clear
and
evident
proofs
which
have
been
made
in
Our
Court
of
Admiralty
,
and
that
which
hath
intervened
since
concerning
the
same
,
whereby
the
justice
of
the
Cause
may
be
known
,
which
by
the
Adversaries
themselves
have
been
acknowledged
,
and
some
Satisfaction
already
given
,
although
most
grosly
fraudulent
,
which
ought
not
any
way
to
prejudice
the
persons
who
have
the
true
interest
:
The
Businesse
being
of
a
very
considerable
value
,
and
wherein
the
fortunes
of
so
many
of
Our
Subjects
are
concerned
,
We
hold
our selves
obliged
to
recommend
the
same
unto
you
with
much
importunity
,
and
do
earnestly
require
present
Satisfaction
answerable
to
the
proofs
which
have
been
made
according
to
the
Rules
of
Justice
,
and
the
Amity
and
good
Correspondence
which
We
desire
with
you
ever
to
conserve
firm
and
inviolable
.
It
is
not
in
effect
without
regret
,
that
we
are
constrained
by
the
just
Complaints
unto
Us
daily
made
of
Our
Subjects
to
importune
you
in
this
nature
,
but
the
Care
and
perpetual
Desires
which
We
have
for
their
welfare
obligeth
Us
particularly
to
be
interessed
in
all
that
which
occurs
unto
them
;
and
every
one
ought
well
to
assure
themselves
,
that
none
can
in
the
least
circumstance
molest
them
in
their
Commerce
without
assailing
and
thereby
ingaging
Us
at
the
same
time
to
a
just
resentment
thereof
.
We
refer
Our Self
unto
the
Laws
of
Our
Common
Amity
for
a
speedy
Satisfaction
in
this
businesse
,
desiring
God
to
take
Your
High

Our
good
Allies

was
there
both
Ship
,
Goods
and
Tackle
seised
upon
by
some
of
the
said
Company
.
The
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
doth
in
the
Name
,
and
in
persuance
of
most
precise
Orders
which
he
hath
received
from
the
King
his
Master
,
demand
that
Satisfaction
and
Reparation
be
forthwith
made
to
the
Persons
interessed
and
injured
.
And
whereas
it
may
seem
strange
that
this
matter
should
be
set
on
foot
at
this
time
,
when
as
in
the
Year
1654.
Commissioners
were
sent
to
England
,
who
did
end
several
matters
relating
to
the
East-Indies
;
and
whereas
in
the
Year
1659.
several
matters
of
a
fresher
date
were
also
ended
,
and
thereby
a
period
put
to
all
other
matters
of
Difference
which
had
happened
about
the
same
time
,
and
were
known
in
Europe
before
the
20.
of
January
in
the
said
Year
,
it
is
to
be
considered
that
the
Persons
Interessed
in
these
Ships
,
were
such
as
for
their
singular
and
extraordinary
activity
to
His
Majesty
of
blessed
memory
,
Father
to
the
King
his
Master
,
were
tendred
uncapable
of
persuing
or
obtaining
their
just
right
at
home
or
abroad
;
and
upon
that
account
it
is
that
the
businesse
of
these
two
Ships
remains
yet
in
dispute
,
though
several
matters
of
a
much
fresher
date
have
been
ended
,
and
satisfaction
given
:
And
seeing
this
hath
been
the
real
occasion
of
this
delay
,
the
King
his
Master
doth
no
ways
doubt
but
that
their
Lordships
will
in
so
much
a
more
eminent
manner
put
forth
and
shew
their
Iustice
for
their
relief
.

SIRS
,
I
Thought
it
convenient
before
I
return
for
England
,
to
use
all
ways
and
means
for
an
accomodation
,
that
the
East-India
Company
of
the
Netherlands
may
be
left
without
excuse
,
as
also
the
States
General
,
if
any
thing
happens
to
the
prejudice
of
the
Publique
for
a
private
Difference
,
which
might
be
composed
upon
reasonable
and
honourable
Conditions
.
And
lest
you
should
suffer
by
any
mistake
,
I
have
given
order
to
this
Gentleman
(
the
Bearer
hereof
)
to
shew
you
my
Answer
by
way
of
Reply
to
your
Objections
,
concerning
the
Treaties
of
1654
and
1659.
made
with
the
two
late
Usurpers
Oliver
and
Richard
.
I
told
you
in
my
last
,
that
an
Amicable
conclusion
would
conduce
more
to
your
advantage
than
a
Publique
dispute
:
It
's
possible
you
may
think
to
evade
our
Pretences
by
Practise
or
Pleading
,
and
forget
what
you
have
gotten
by
destroying
that
foundation
which
Sir
W.
Courten
laid
in
his
Trading
voyages
to
China
and
Japan
.
Please
to
be
as
ingenious
in
your
speedy
Answer
,
that
it
may
not
be
impertinent
,
as
I
am
to
you
in
what
I
intend
for
Replication
.
I
hope
you
will
deal
justly
,
and
restore
what
you
have
violently
taken
from
us
;
otherwise
you
may
be
well
assured
the
Interessed
will
expose
the
rest
of
their
fortunes
and
endevours
to
acquire
a
due
Satisfaction
,
and
no
ways
despair
in
so
just
a
Cause
of
the
assistance
and
protection
of
him
that
is
able
to
revenge
injuries
and
oppressions
.
I
only
wait
for
an
Answer
to
several
Memorials
,
&c.
given
in
to
the
States
General
on
our
behalf
,
that
the
King
may
understand
your
meaning
,
whether
you
desire
a
fair
correspondency
with
the
Crown
of
England
,
or
not
.
I
have
no
more
to
say
within
my
Commission
,
but
to
let
you
know
that
I
am
and
desire
to
be
Your
assured
Friend
and
Servant

Carew

Sir
Edward

Paul

(

read

Shewing
that
the
Petitioners
in
persuance
of
His
Majesties
Letters
of
the
21
of
March
last
,
to
the
States
General
at
the
Hague
,
requiring
Satisfaction
and
Reparation
for
the
two
Ships
,
the
Henry
Bona
Adventure
and
Bona
Esperanza
,
belonging
to
Mr.
Courten
,
which
were
violently
taken
and
confiscated
by
the
East-India
Company
of
Holland
,
contrary
to
the
Laws
of
Nations
,
and
common
Right
;
And
that
His
Majesties
Envoy
Extraordinary
with
the
States
being
fully
instructed
,
had
fairly
proceeded
therein
,
in
order
to
the
Ascertaining
of
their
Damages
sustained
thereby
:
And
that
notwithstanding
the
Commissioners
of
the
East-India
Company
of
Holland
have
acknowledged
the
Fact
,
and
are
by
Advocates
,
on
both
sides
,
sufficiently
convinced
,
that
they
ought
to
give
Satisfaction
accordingly
;
Yet
the
States
General
do
hitherto
delay
to
give
Answer
to
the
several
Memorials
delivered
in
reference
to
His
Majesties
Letters
,
albeit
they
have
been
pressed
by
daily
sollicitations
;
out
of
designe
(
as
is
conceived
)
of
having
the
Treaty
perfected
with
an
utter
exclusion
of
the
Petitioners
;
which
would
tend
to
their
unsupportable
loss
,
the
ruine
of
many
hundreds
of
poor
persons
,
the
unconscionable
advantage
of
their
Adversaries
(
the
Dutch
)
and
discouragement
of
all
English
Merchants
from
Trade
.
Upon
consideration
whereof
,
It
was
Ordered
that
Sir
George
Downing
Knight
,
His
Majesties
Envoy
Extraordinary
with
the
States
General
of
the
United
Provinces
of
the
Netherlands
at
the
Hague
,
do
further
and
effectually
proceed
with
the
said
States
according
to
His
Majesties
Letters
aforesaid
,
in
requiring
due
Satisfaction
to
be
made
for
the
Damages
sustained
by
His
Majesties
said
Subjects
,
and
procure
their
speedy
Answer
to
such
their
just
Demands
;
And
thereupon
to
Report
the
same
to
this
Board
with
all
convenient
speed

nouvelle
recherche
des

regleés

que

de

abandonné

par

Mais
nous

celles
,
dont

s'est
servy
pour

Nous

ont
rendu
de
signales
services
au
Feu
Roy
de

de

Memoire

mais
ils
ont
fait
violence

ont
voulu
faire
acroire
,
que
ces
services
les
ont
empeschés
de
parler
pour
leurs
interests
sous

Usurpateurs
.
Nous
pouvons
faire
voire
,
et
en
avons
mis
les
preuves
convaincantes
entre

mains
de

Envoye
extraordinaire
que
ces
interesses
bien
loin
de
n'ofer
reclamer
leur

pendant

,
ont
bien
expressement
formé
leur
demande
par

The
Translation
of
the
States
Letter
to
the
King
,
June
22.
1662.
WE
did
write
to
your
Majesty
some
eight
dayes
agoe
in
relation
to
a
businesse
whereto
we
Exspect
your
answer
,
so
much
the
more
favourable
,
as
the
proceedings
of
the
Admirall
Court
at
London
(
of
which
we
complained
)
entrencheth
equally
upon
the
law
of
Nations
and
the
Soveraignty
of
your
Crown
;
now
we
find
our selves
obliged
to
write
to
you
of
a
businesse
of
less
importance
in
effect
,
but
whereof
the
consequences
may
prove
so
troublesome
,
that
they
Invite
us
to
prevent
them
by
a
necessary
clearing
thereof
,
for
the
preserving
of
a
good
Intelligence
betwixt
your
Kingdomes
and
our
Provinces
.
It
pleased
your
Majesty
by
your
letter
of
the
21.
of
March
last
(
which
we
received
the
20.
of
April
after
)
to
presse
us
to
give
satisfaction
to
the
Interessed
persons
in
the
Two
Ships
called
La
Bonne
Esperance
and
Henry
Bonaventure
,
whereof
the
one
was
taken
Anno
1643.
by
two
Ships
of
the
East-India
Company
of
this
Countrey
in
the
Straits
of
Mallacca
;
and
the
other
about
the
same
time
,
struck
upon
the
Coast
of
the
Isle
Mauritius
,
where
the
people
of
that
same
India
Company
,
made
their
benefit
of
the
goods
that
were
saved
.
We
are
not
to
justifie
the
proceedings
of
that
Company
in
that
Encounter
,
but
we
cannot
but
complain
of
the
boldnesse
of
those
who
are
so
impudent
as
to
importune
your
Majesty
,
and
to
crave
your
Intercession
in
a
business
that
is
not
only
so
inveterated
and
overgrown
with
years
,
but
also
such
as
we
cannot
with
honour
condiscend
to
,
nor
they
with
a
good
conscience
demand
;
That
which
past
in
the
Treaties
of
Anno
1654.
and
1659.
having
Extinguish'd
and
mortified
all
pretensions
of
that
nature
,
so
that
we
might
serve
our selves
therewith
,
as
with
a
General
reason
against
all
such
demands
,
and
justly
be
dispenced
with
from
giving
any
more
perticular
accompt
of
that
your
Majesty
recommends
to
Us
,
yet
we
will
inform
your
Majesty
most
particularly
of
the
true
state
of
that
businesse
;
Provided
that
your
Majesty
permit
us
to
Protest
,
that
we
cannot
ingage
our selves
to
make
a
new
research
of
things
concluded
by
former
Treaties
,
and
that
shall
only
be
for
this
one
time
,
and
to
crave
justice
to
be
done
upon
those
that
have
abused
both
your
Majesties
goodnesse
and
our
patience
,
in
ripping
out
of
the
grave
(
as
we
may
say
)
a
businesse
,
the
Memory
whereof
ought
long
agoe
to
have
been
abolish'd
:
we
shall
not
inlarge
our selves
upon
the
reasons
,
which
that
Company
might
have
had
to
take
the
Ship
La
Bonne
Esperanza
,
and
to
make
their
benefit
of
the
Ship-wrack
of
the
Henry
Bonadventure
,
being
abandoned
by
the
English
Master
and
Mariners
;
we
shall
content
our selves
to
answer
to
those
Allegations
which
the
pretended
Interessed
have
used
to
surprize
your
Majesties
goodnesse
,
to
move
you
to
recommend
to
us
their
so
ill-grounded
interests
:
we
will
believe
that
the
Interessed
in
these
two
Ships
,
did
very
great
service
to
the
late
King
of
glorious
memory
,
but
they
say
more
then
truth
,
when
they
would
make
beleive
,
that
these
services
hindered
them
to
crave
reparation
in
the
Usurpers
time
,
for
we
can
make
it
appear
,
and
have
sent
the
convincing
Proofes
to
your
extraordinary
envoy
,
that
they
were
so
far
from
daring
to
do
it
,
that
they
gave
in
their
demands
in
Writing
to
the
Commissioners
established
Anno
1654.
under
the
name
of
William
Toombes
,
as
executor
of
the
Testament
of
Paul
Pyndar
in
whose
behalf
the
suit
is
now
renewed
,
which
was
extended
then
to
the
sum
of
72546.
sterl.
It
was
not
necessary
that
the
said
Commissioners
should
have
then
decided
that
difference
because
it
was
already
decded
by
an
amicable
Transaction
betwixt
the
parties
for
the
sum
of
85000.
Livers
Turnois
,
which
the
said
Company
really
paid
,
though
the
Interessed
seem
to
presuppose
that
Jacob
Pergens
and
David
Goubart
(
who
made
this
Transaction
)
were
not
qualified
to
do
it
:
but
we
have
by
us
,
&
have
communicated
to
your
extraordinary
Envoy
,
such
evident
Proofs
on
the
contrary
,
that
the
Sun
is
not
more
Cleer
at
Mid-day
.
Goubart
was
Owner
of
a
part
of
the
Bonne
Esperanze
and
was
impowred
by
all
others
that
were
Owners
thereof
,
and
in
this
quality
William
Courten
hyred
her
from
him
and
fraughted
her
,
and
made
a
legal
procuration
of
his
Interest
to
Jacob
Pergens
;
Those
that
now
renew
their
ill-grounded
suit
can
not
deny
it
,
nor
controlle
the
Authentique
Acts
and
Deeds
past
,
as
the
Procuration
,
the
Transport
,
the
Assurances
,
the
Orders
and
Discharges
which
are
produced
;
Therefore
,
they
have
advised
to
say
,
that
William
Courten
had
not
power
then
to
give
a
Procuration
in
prejudice
of
the
Deed
of
Conveyance
,
which
he
made
of
all
his
right
in
these
Ships
to
Paul
Pindar
in
December
1642
:
But
we
oppose
this
new
forgery
by
the
expresse
Letters
and
Declarations
of
the
Late
King
your
Father
of
Immortall
memory
,
who
writing
to
us
the
9
of
Oct.
1647.
five
years
after
that
pretended
Transport
,
saith
punctually
that
these
two
Ships
which
are
now
in
question
,
appertained
to
William
Courten
,
and
not
to
Paul
Pindar
,
and
confirmed
this
truth
by
another
Letter
written
the
same
day
to
Sir
William
Boswell
his
Resident
then
here
.
Whereby
he
recommends
expresly
the
Interest
of
the
said
Courten
in
the
said
Ships
,
and
commands
him
to
assist
by
his
Councell
and
Sollicitation
the
said
Jacob
Pergens
,
who
prosecuted
Courtens
businesse
in
this
Countrey
,
We
cannot
without
wronging
the
Memory
of
the
late
King
,
alledge
the
Letters
of
the
House
of
Peers
in
Parliament
to
confirm
what
is
said
,
but
we
conceive
our selves
bound
in
duty
to
add
that
the
said
Paul
Pindar
having
had
sufficient
time
to
be
resolved
,
in
the
year
1651.
caused
to
be
summoned
the
Directors
of
the
East-India
Company
of
Amsterdam
,
to
appear
before
the
Magistrates
in
the
Stathouse
there
to
hear
themselves
condemned
to
pay
to
him
the
foresaid
Sum
of
85000.
Livers
Turnois
,
but
he
did
not
prosecute
the
summons
when
he
was
informed
of
the
particular
proceedings
before-mentioned
;
and
it
will
not
be
found
that
since
that
time
he
made
any
further
suit
in
this
Countrey
,
which
is
a
most
Invincible
Proof
of
the
Injustnesse
of
these
new
pretensions
,
and
gives
us
hopes
that
your
Majesty
will
not
suffer
unpunish'd
the
boldness
of
those
,
who
by
their
injurious
ill
grounded
complaints
,
would
trouble
the
good
Correspondence
,
which
we
daily
study
to
entertain
betwixt
your
Subjects
and
ours
.
We
hope
also
that
your
Majesty
will
see
clearly
by
that
we
have
said
the
equity
of
our
proceedings
,
and
sincerity
of
our
intentions
to
entertain
most
Religiously
the
Friendship
,
which
hitherto
hath
been
so
profitable
to
both
Nations
,
and
to
merit
the
affection
which
it
hath
pleased
your
Majesty
to
professe
unto
us
,
whereof
we
promise
our selves
the
effects
,
and
in
the
mean
time
Pray
God
,
&c.

pour
autant
que
le
dit
Memoire
concerne
deux
Navires
Anglois
appartenants
à
Londres
,
l'un
appellé
la
Bonne
Esperance
,
&
l'autre
appellé
le
Henry
Bonaventure
,
trouve
que
la
matiere
de
fait
dont
on
a
fait
des
plaintes
n'est
aucunement
deniée
,
mais
confessée
&
recognue
.
Mais
touchant
sa
demande
lâ
dessus
pour
satisfaction
&
reparation
aux
personnes
endommagées
,
il
semble
que
leurs
Seigneuries
le
voudroient
eviter
sur
deux
fondements
.
Le
premier
,
sur
celuy
des
Traictés
es
Années
1654
&
1659.
Le
second
,
Que
mesme
sans
lesdits
Traictés
il
ne
leur
appartient
ou
reste
aucun
droit
à
cause
de
la
ditte
pretention
.
Quant
au
premier
,
le
dit
Envoyé
Extraordinaire
ne
peut
qu'
observer
,
que
non
obstant
que
leurs
Seigneuries
au
commencement
de
leur
Reponie
alleguent
fortement
les
dits
Traitez
,
&
a
la
fin
d'icelle
accusent
les
personnes
qui
demandent
satisfaction
,
de
grande
impudence
,
parce
qu'ils
osent
(
comme
il
leur
plaist
dire
)
faire
revivre
ou
mettre
en
controverse
ces
affaires
ou
pretentions
,
&
d'en
importuner
le
Roy
de
la
Grand
Bretagne
,
&
de
fairs
que
leurs
Seigneuries
prennent
la
peine
de
les
examiner
:
il
n'y
a
pourtant
dans
la
ditte
Response
pas
un
mot
pour
expliquer
comment
ces
choses
sont
esteintes
&
abolies
par
les
dits
Traittéz
,
&
certainement
ceux
qui
voudroient
par
encre
&
papier
donner
satisfaction
pour
des
dommages
si
considerables
,
devroient
parler
clairement
&
distinctement
,
&
mettre
hors
toutes
disputes
ce
qu'ils
pretendent
&
alleguent
,
dont
le
dit
Envoyé
Exraordinaire
ne
trouve
dans
la
ditte
Response
aucun
mot
:
&
s'il
avoit
pû
trouvet
dans
la
plus
exacte
&
pleine
examination
d'icelle
la
moindre
couleur
&
fondement
pour
alleguation
de
cette
nature
,
il
ne
les
auroit
pas
importuné
d'une
Response
sur
ce
point
:
Mais
leurs
Seigneuries
luy
donneront
permission
d'affirmer
qu'il
ne
trouve
ny
en
l'un
ny
en
l'autre
des
dits
Traittés
aucune
chose
qui
puisse
empescher
cette
reclamation
.
Quant
au
Traitté
de
l'An
1654.
il
esteint
vrayement
toutes
pretentions
au
regard
des
dommages
faits
durant
la
derniere
guerre
,
comme
il
appert
par
le
troisiesme
Article
d'iceluy
,
mais
ces
choses
estoient
faittes
long
temps
auparavant
,
&
n'y
ont
aucune
relation
,
&
le
dit
Traitté
estoit
si
loin
de
les
abolir
ou
esteindre
,
que
par
le
30.
Article
d'iceluy
un
moyen
particulier
&
extraordinaire
a
esté
specifie
pour
donner
satisfaction
d'icelles
,
&
si
on
pouvoit
avoir
pretendu
que
les
complaignants
n'avoient
poursuivi
ou
accomplice
que
de
leur
part

à

toutes

n'estoit

Et

au
contraire
une-matiere
de

au

Posé
que
les
Commissaires
,
que
par

dit

se
devoient
assembler
à

ne
l'eussent

de

tirer
un

contre

pour
les
frustrer
de
tous

ou
que

L'argument
est
le
mesme
à
l'esgard
des
autres
Commissaires
,
lesquels
se
devoient
assembler
apres
en
Suisse
;
tellement
qu'il
n'y
a
rien
plus
clair
que

demeurent
in

,
&
à
leur

de

&

.
Et
quant
au
Traitté
de
l'An
1659.
il
n'y
peut
encore
rien
estre
plus
evident
&
manifeste
qu'en
ce
que
le
dit

ne

cette
afffaire
dans

,
parce
que

d'iceluy

,
ny
n'abolit
pas
generalement

les
affaires
qui
estoient
cognues
à
Londres
le
20.
Janvier
1659.
mais
seulement
(
comme
il
appertpar
la
ditte
clause
,
)
telles
affaires
qui
estoient
arrivées
environ
le
temps
que
les
Navires
le
Postillon
,
Frederic
,
Francoys
&
Jean
,
furent
pris
,

,
&

,
auparavant
,
dont
la
cognoissance
estoit
venue
à
Londres

Et
l'occasion
d'inserer
cette

generale
estoit
cellecy
,
qu'environ

que

,
lequels
avoient

,
on
insista
absolument
(
comme
quelques
una
de
leurs
Seigneuries
sçavent
fort
bien
)
&
à
la
fin
apres
longs
debats
fut
accordé
,
que
s'ils
vouloient
donner
satisfaction
raisonnable
pour
ce
qu'ils
avoient
pris

,
une
clause
seroit
inserée
pour

des
choses

d'abolir

Tellement
que
leurs
Seigneuries
ne
peuvent
que
voir
combien
loin
il
est
d'aucune
prejudice
ou
contrarieté
aux
dits
Traittéz
des
Années
de
1654.
&
1659.
d'avoir
à
cest
heure
mis
cette
pretension
sur
le
Tapis
,
&
sur
ce
point
on
se
pourroit
avoir
es●argi
beaucoup
plus
:
Mais
puis
qu'il
a
pleu
a
leurs
Seigneuries
de
l'admettre
;
le
dit
Envoyé
Extraordinaire
n'adjouste
plus
la
dessus
,
mais
seulement
de
les
faire
souvenir
,
que
ny
l'un
ny
l'autre
des
dits
Traictés
estoient
faits
avec
le
Roy
son
Maistre
ny
avec
aucun
de
ses
Predecesseurs
,
&
par
consequent
qu'il
n'est
aucunement
obligé
en
droit
de
les
advouer
:
Et
cela
estant
ainsi
,
&
que
tout
ce
que
sa
Majesté
fait
en
les
admettant
,
n
apoint
d'autre
fondement
que
fes
inclinations
envers
ce
Pays
:
ne
seroit
ce
pas
une
reconnoissance
bien
estrange
&
une
juste
cause
de
provocation
,
&
telle
que
sa
Majesté
ne
peut
aucunement
souffrir
,
de
ne
se
monstrer
bien
satisfaits
de
leur
accomplissement
&
observation
,
selon
la
naifue
&
genuine
teneur
d'iceux
,
mais
de
les
detourner
â
unsens
forcé
&
extorqué
aux
prejudice
de
ses
Subjects
,
&
tel
dont
on
n'a
pas
songé
au
temps
qu'ils
ont
esté
faits
,
et
qu'on
n'eust
pû
avoir
demandé
des
Usurpateurs
mesmes
avec
lesquels
ils
furent
faits
,
ny
de
sa
Majesté
s'ils
eussent
esté
conclus
avec
luy
ou
avec
aucun
de
ses
Predecesseurs
.
Or
quant
à
la
seconde
objection
:
à
scavoir
,
que
mesmes
sans
les
dits
Traictez
il
ne
leur
appartient
ou
reste
aucun
droit
à
cause
de
la
ditte
pretension
:
Pour
preuve
dequoy
il
a
pleu
à
leurs
Seigneuries
d'alleguer
deux
choses
.
Premierement
,
les
raisons
par
lesquelles
la
Compagnie
Orientale
de
ce
Pays
,
sonstint
avoir
pû
avec
justice
&
avoir
esté
contrainte
d'arrester
&
confisquer
le
Navire
la
Bonne
Esperance
;
&
quant
au
Henry
Bonadventure
,
qu'il
estoit
entierement
abandonné
par
le
Patron
&
Matelots
,
&
qu'ils
estoient
contens
&
ne
firent
aucun
difficulté
que
le
peuple
de
la
Compagnie
Orientale
de
ce
Pays
sauvast
le
dit
Navire
avec
sa
charge
.
Secondement
,
Que
ceste
affaire
a
esté
en
fin
entierement
&
absolument
terminée
à
l'
amiable
par
un
dernier
accord
entre
la
ditte
Compagnie
des
Indes
Orientales
de
ces
Provinces
Unies
d'une
part
,
&
Jacob
Pergens
&
David
Goubard
tant
pour
luy
que
comme
ayant
procuration
de
William
Courten
&
autres
interessez
;
&
ce
pour
la
somme
de
quatre
vingts
cinq
milles
livres
tournois
,
à
quoy
la
ditte
Compagnie
,
a
reellement
&
effectivement
satisfait
en
suitte
.
Quant
au
premier
de
ces
arguments
,
le
dit
Envoyé
Extraordinaire
ne
peust
que
remarquer
que
leurs
Seigneuries
n'y
insistent
pas
du
tort
,
mais
seulement
le
touchent
en
passant
,
ny
mesme
ne
le
marquent
pas
de
leur
caractere
,
l'appellants
seulement
les
raisons
de
la
Compagnie
,
&
sans
specifier
aucun
d'eux
en
particulier
;
&
en
effect
ce
n'est
pas
marveille
,
puis
qu'on
ne
pouvoit
commettre
une
plus
grande
&
inexcusable
violence
&
vollerie
,
que
celle
de
la
prise
de
la
Bonne
Esperance
,
un
Navire
appartetant
à
Londres
,
envoyé
de
lá
,
tout
chargè
des
Marchandises
Angloises
&
Portugaises
,
(
ces
deux
Nations
estans
alors
en
paix
avec
ce
Pays
)
&
allant
de
Goa
vers
Maccao
,
toutes
deux
places
appartenantes
aux
Portugais
,
&
cesans
que
ceux
de
la
Bonne
Esperance
eussent
donné
le
moindre
sujet
ou
occasion
de
cette
violence
:
ll
ne
se
peut
aussi
voir
une
plus
grande
inhumanité
que
.
la
demiere
,
le
Navire
le
Henry
Bonaventure
n'estoit
pas
abandonné
par
le
Patron
on
Mattelots
,
comme
il
appert
pas
les
escrits
cy
annexes
marqués
C
Num.
I
,
II
,
IV.
Mais
quelques
uns
d'eux
ve●●ans
aux
Flamens
,
pour
les
prier
de
les
assister
pour
sauver
leur
Navire
&
Marchandises
,
ils
ont
pris
&
gardé
tout
pour
eux
mesmes
:
Et
quant
à
ce
qui
est
ditd'un
certain
escrit
signé
par
eux
,
qu'
ils
ne
vouloyent
hazarder
leur
vies
pour
sauver
quelque
chose
:
Leurs
Seigneuries
trouverout
r̄eponse
suffisante
là
dessus
par
les
dits
escrits
,
que
les
Anglois
continuerent
de
demeurer
en
leurs
Navire
,
&
qu'ainsi
par
les
loix
&
droits
de
Gens
cem'estoit
pas
naufrage
:
Et
encore
qu'ils
ont
assisté
pour
sauver
les
Marchandises
&
les
provisions
du
dit
Navire
,
comme
il
se
voit
par
les
dits
escrits
,
aux
quels
vous
me
permettre
adjouster
que
la
ditte
Compagnie
depuis
s'est
accordée
avec
les
Portugais
,
de
leur
payer
la
somme
de
cent
milles
Patacons
pour
leur
interest
dans
les
Marchandises
qui
estoient
dans
la
ditte
Bonne
Esperance
,
de
laquellesomme
quatre
vingt
mille
Patacons
furent
actuellement
payez
:
&
quant
aux
Anglois
dans
le
dit
Navire
,
&
dans
le
Henry
Bonaventure
,
quoy
qu'ils
n'estoient
pas
du
toirt
favourisés
du
appuyés
en
ce
miserable
temps
par
ceux
qui
avoient
alors
en
leurs
mains
le
gouvernement
;
neantmoins
la
ditte
Compagnie
(
pour
gaigner
quelque
pretexte
de
les
avoir
donn
é
quelque
satisfaction
)
paya
à
un
certain
Jaques
Pergens
&
Goubard
la
somme
de
85000
guldens
,
&
ce
dans
un
temps
auquel
ses
affaires
de
sa
Majesté
decedce
estoit
enson
Royaume
dans
le
plus
grand
disordre
&
confusion
sans
pouvoir
donner
la
moindre
assistance
à
quelque
Anglois
outre
mer
,
estant
environ
le
temps
de
son
tres
execrable
meurtre
:
&
personne
ne
doutera
que
srle
ditte
Compagnie
Orientale
s'avoit
pû
aucunement
justifier
ce
qu'avoitestê
fait
,
ils
n'eussent
pas
payé
à
eux
telle
somme
,
specialement
en
un
tel
temps
.
Quant
au
second
argument
;
dans
icelny
est
vrayement
la
vie
&
la
force
de
cest
affaire
,
&
si
l'accord
fait
avec
Pergens
&
Goubard
est
un
bon
accord
,
à
Dieu
ne
plaise
que
la
Compagnie
des
Indes
Orientales
,
en
soit
derechef
importunée
,
mais
s'il
n'est
pas
tel
,
les
reclamants
ont
une
belle
&
libre
voye
ou
verte
pour
demander
satisfaction
.
Quant
a
la
pretention
de
Goubard
,
elle
est
seulement
sur
5.
parties
de
16.
du
Navire
Bonne
Esperance
,
mais
il
navoit
rien
à
faire
avec
le
Navire
Henry
Bonaventure
,
ny
avec
la
charge
de
l'un
ny
de
l'autre
:
&
quant
a
son
accord
en
ce
qui
touche
son
particulier
,
on
l'admet
pour
bon
&
sans
question
:
Mais
quant
au
dit
Pergens
qui
n'estoit
pas
interessé
dans
les
Navires
ny
dans
leur
charge
,
mais
reclame
en
vertu
d'une
certaine
procuration
&
transports
de
Willem
Courten
:
le
dit
Envoyé
Extraordinaire
respond
que
la
ditte
procuration
&
transports
estoient
tout
à
fait
vuids
&
nuls
,
comme
il
appert
par
l'escrit
cy
annex
marqué
D
Num.
l.
par
lequel
le
dit
Willem
Courten
avoit
absolument
transporté
end
'
Année
1642.
tous
ses
droits
&
interests
dans
les
dits
Navires
au
Sieur
Paul
Piudar
&
au
Sieur
Eduard
Littleton
,
&
ce
sur
une
consideration
valide
pour
la
somme
de
88000.
livres
sterlings
somme
capitale
prestée
à
Iuy
.
Et
outre
cela
,
le
dit
Gourten
estoit
declaré
insolvable
&
Bankroote
pour
la
somme
de
150000
livres
sterlings
(
procedes
de
ses
grandes
pertes
aux
Indes
)
long
temps
devant
la
date
la
ditte
procuration
&
transports
donnés
au
dit
Pergens
,
comme
il
appert
par
l'escrit
cy
annex
marqué
C
Num.
III
&
estoit
consequemment
par
les
loix
de
toutes
les
Nations
incapable
pour
faire
aucun
Acte
de
disposition
de
ses
biens
.
Et
il
n'est
pas
hors
de
propos
d'observer
que
quoy
que
la
Compagnie
Orientale
de
ce
Pays
,
desirant
fort
de
gaigner
quelque
pretexte
,
comme
s'ils
avoient
achevé
cette
meschante
affaire
,
paya
cette
petite
&
inconsiderable
somme
de
85000
guld
.
(
car
en
effect
elle
estoit
telle
,
non
en
sa
consideration
,
mais
en
comparaison
de
ces
pertes
&
domages
)
neantmoins
elle
scavoit
alors
si
bien
,
combien
peu
de
fondement
avoit
la
pretention
du
dit
Pergens
,
qu'ils
ne
luy
payassent
un
denier
qu'apres
les
avoir
donné
bonne
caution
de
rendre
la
ditte
somme
avec
l'interest
,
s'ils
seroient
cy
apres
troublez
cette
affaire
,
comme
il
appert
par
l'escrit
cy
annex
marqué
D
Num.
IV.
laquelle
securité
est
tousjours
bonne
,
de
sorte
que
la
ditte
Compagnie
n'y
peut
rien
perdre
.
Et
pour
ce
qui
est
en
outre
allegué
,
comme
si
le
dit
Pergens
avoit
effectivement
payé
&
contenté
tous
les
autres
interessés
dans
les
dits
Navires
,
si
cela
fut
vray
ils
seroient
fort
à
blamer
de
demander
satisfaction
pour
la
seconde
fois
:
Mais
cela
est
absolument
faus
,
ny
est
ce
qu'aucuns
des
reclamants
ayent
jamais
receu
du
dit
Pergens
ou
d'aucun
autre
sur
cette
compte
directement
ou
indirectement
la
valeur
d'un
denier
.
Et
quant
aux
deux
Lettres
escrittes
par
sa
feu
Majesté
touchant
cette
affaire
en
l'année
1647.
l'une
à
leurs
Seigneuries
,
&
l'autre
au
Sieur
William
Boswel
,
qui
estoit
alors
son
Resident
en
cette
Cour
,
le
dit
Envoyé
Extraordinaire
ne
se
peut
assez
esmerveiller
,
que
leurs
Seigneuries
feroient
aucune
mention
d'icelles
.
Qu'estoient
ces
Lettres
si
non
Lettres
de
recommendations
en
termes
generaux
?
Sa
Majesté
estoit
elle
alors
en
condition
,
pour
examiner
au
fond
,
ou
regarder
dans
les
affaires
?
Avoit
il
son
Conseil
ou
son
Admirauté
aupres
de
luy
?
Il
sçavoit
que
William
Courten
avoit
equippé
les
dits
Navires
devant
la
guerre
civile
en
ses
Royaumes
,
&

GEORGE
DOVVNING

The
Reply
of
Sir
George
Downing
,
Envoy
Extratraordinary
of
His
MAJESTIE
of
Great
Britain
,
&c.
delivered
the
13.
of
July
1662.
upon
the
Answer
of
the
Estates
General
of
the
United
Provinces
,
to
his
Memorial
of
the
20.
of
April
last
.
THE
underwritten
Envoy
Extraordinary
of
His
most
Sacred
Majestie
of
Great
Britain
,
&c.
having
received
,
examined
and
considered
the
Answer
of
their
Lordships
the
Estates
General
of
the
United
Provinces
,
of
the
22
of
June
last
past
,
to
his
Memorial
of
the
20.
of
April
foregoing
:
In
so
far
as
the
said
Memorial
did
concern
two
English
Ships
belonging
to
London
,
the
one
called
the
Bona
Esperanza
,
and
the
other
called
the
Henry
Bonaventure
;
finds
that
the
matter
of
fact
complained
of
,
is
not
in
the
least
therein
denied
,
but
confessed
and
acknowledged
;
yet
as
to
his
demand
thereupon
for
satisfaction
and
reparation
to
the
persons
injured
thereby
,
their
Lordships
endevour
to
avoyd
it
upon
a
double
ground
:
First
,
Upon
the
account
of
the
Treaties
made
in
the
Years
of
1654.
and
1659.
Secondly
,
That
though
the
said
Treaties
were
not
,
yet
that
the
persons
claiming
have
no
right
to
what
they
demand
.
Now
as
to
the
first
,
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
cannot
but
observe
,
that
though
their
Lordships
do
in
the
beginning
of
their
said
Answer
strongly
alledge
the
said
Treaties
;
and
towards
the
end
thereof
,
do
accuse
the
person
demanding
satisfaction
of
great
impudence
for
daring
(
as
they
are
pleased
to
term
it
)
to
revive
these
pretences
,
and
to
importune
His
Majestie
therein
,
or
trouble
their
Lordships
with
so
much
as
the
examination
thereof
:
yet
notwithstanding
throughout
the
said
Answer
,
there
is
not
so
much
as
one
word
to
explain
how
these
matters
are
extinguished
or
voyded
by
the
said
Treaties
;
and
certainly
those
who
would
make
satisfaction
for
so
considerable
damages
by
Ink
and
Paper
onely
,
had
need
make
out
very
cleerly
and
distinctly
,
and
past
all
dispute
,
what
they
pretend
and
alledge
;
of
which
nature
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
finds
not
one
clause
or
word
in
the
said
Answer
,
and
could
he
in
the
strictest
and
throughest
examination
thereof
,
have
found
the
least
colour
or
ground
for
an
allegation
of
that
nature
,
he
would
not
have
troubled
them
with
an
Answer
to
that
particular
;
but
their
Lordships
must
give
him
leave
to
affirm
that
he
doth
not
find
in
the
one
or
the
other
of
the
said
Treaties
,
any
thing
that
doth
extinguish
or
debar
this
demand
.
As
for
the
Treaty
of
1654.
it
doth
indeed
(
as
is
set
down
in
the
third
Article
)
bar
and
cut
off
all
pretences
in
respect
of
damages
during
the
late
War
;
but
these
were
matters
which
hapned
many
years
before
,
and
had
no
relation
thereunto
;
and
which
the
said
Treaty
was
so
far
from
abolishing
or
taking
away
,
as
that
by
the
30.
Article
thereof
a
perticular
and
extraordinary
way
was
set
down
for
the
making
satisfaction
for
them
.
And
if
it
could
have
been
pretended
that
the
persons
complained
had
not
of
their
part
persued
and
fulfilled
,
what
was
of
their
part
to
be
persued
&
fulfilled
by
vertue
of
the
said
Article
,
or
that
these
matters
had
been
thereby
in
any
kind
ended
or
determined
,
or
that
there
had
been
any
clause
or
words
denoting
that
what
matters
should
not
be
that
way
determined
,
notwithstanding
that
the
parties
complaining
should
have
accordingly
done
and
fulfilled
what
was
thereby
required
to
be
ontheir
part
done
and
fulfilled
,
should
yet
be
abolished
and
cut
off
,
there
might
then
indeed
have
lain
from
hence
some
pretence
against
them
;
but
the
persons
injured
,
though
expecting
very
little
good
from
the
then
Usurping
Powers
(
being
all
of
them
out
of
favour
,
upon
the
account
of
their
extraordinary
loyalty
to
His
late
Majestie
of
glorious
memory
)
and
three
of
them
excepted
by
name
,
and
forfeited
as
to
their
whole
Estates
;
yet
seeing
themselves
in
that
exigency
,
that
either
they
must
in
persuance
of
the
said
Article
put
in
their
claim
or
be
debarred
their
rights
;
a
claim
was
put
in
before
the
Commissioners
sitting
at
London
,
within
the
time
limited
by
the
said
Article
,
and
pressed
and
persued
,
as
will
appear
by
the
Writing
hereunto
annexed
,
marked
with
the
letter
B.
Num.
I.
but
the
three
months
time
limited
to
the
said
Commissioners
did
expire
,
without
giving
any
sentence
or
determination
therein
;
and
as
to
the
further
remedy
set
down
in
the
said
Article
,
(
viz.
)
Commissioners
of
the
Protestant
Cantons
of
Switzerland
,
to
determine
all
such
matters
within
six
moneths
after
as
were
not
decided
by
the
aforesaid
Commissioners
at
London
,
if
they
had
met
accordingly
;
and
that
the
persons
claiming
interest
in
these
Ships
had
not
addressed
themselves
unto
them
,
there
might
then
indeed
have
been
something
of
a
colour
and
pretence
against
them
;
but
they
never
met
,
nor
was
it
their
business
,
nor
in
their
power
to
cause
them
to
meet
,
nor
consequently
could
their
not
meeting
be
any
prejudice
to
them
;
but
on
the
contrary
,
a
matter
of
grievance
and
injury
,
to
the
only
advantage
of
the
East-India
Company
of
this
Countrey
,
who
have
thereby
kept
them
from
satisfaction
so
many
years
more
:
Suppose
the
Commissioners
who
by
that
Article
were
to
meet
at
London
,
had
never
met
;
or
suppose
they
had
not
met
till
after
the
18.
of
May
,
the
day
prefixed
by
that
Article
,
after
which
no
newallegation
should
be
admitted
,
should
from
thence
an
argument
have
been
drawn
against
these
persons
,
that
they
were
cut
off
from
all
other
remedy
,
or
that
their
pretences
were
extinguished
by
that
Treaty
?
and
the
argument
is
the
same
as
to
those
other
Commissioners
,
who
afterwards
were
to
have
met
in
Switzerland
;
so
that
there
is
nothing
more
clear
than
that
the
persons
interessed
in
those
Ships
remain
in
statu
quo
,
and
at
liberty
to
demand
justice
and
satisfaction
by
other
means
.
And
for
the
Treaty
of
1659.
there
is
nothing
also
can
be
more
cleer
than
that
that
Treaty
does
not
in
the
least
cut
off
or
debar
this
matter
;
the
general
clause
in
the
end
thereof
not
debarring
or
cutting
o●●
all
matters
generally
that
were
known
in
London
the
20.
of
Jan.
1659.
but
onely
(
as
may
appear
by
the
said
general
clause
thereof
)
such
matters
as
hapned
about
the
time
that
the
Postillion
,
Frederick
,
Francis
and
John
were
taken
,
or
afterwards
,
not
(
or
before
)
but
(
or
afterwards
)
known
at
London
the
20.
Januar.
1659.
and
the
occasion
of
incerting
that
general
clause
was
this
,
about
the
time
when
the
Postillion
,
&c.
were
taken
and
confiscated
in
the
East-Indies
by
the
Dutch
East-India
Company
,
or
a
little
after
,
and
which
was
known
at
London
the
said
20.
of
January
,
there
were
three
or
foure
other
English
Ships
stopped
in
the
East-Indies
by
the
said
Dutch
East-India
Company
;
but
after
some
time
set
at
liberty
to
persue
their
respective
Uoyages
;
and
it
being
at
last
yeelded
unto
here
to
give
satisfaction
for
the
Postillion
,
Frederick
,
Francis
and
John
,
which
had
been
taken
and
confiscated
,
it
was
absolutely
insisted
upon
(
as
some
of
their
Lordships
very
well
know
)
and
at
last
after
long
debate
consented
unto
,
that
in
case
they
would
make
reasonable
satisfaction
for
what
they
had
taken
and
kept
,
a
clause
should
be
incerted
to
cut
off
those
other
pretences
for
what
they
had
onely
stopped
for
some
time
,
but
afterwards
set
at
liberty
;
and
accordingly
upon
this
single
score
that
clause
was
incerted
,
and
was
so
penned
as
to
reach
its
end
and
no
further
;
that
is
to
say
,
to
cut
off
all
pretences
for
all
matters
hapned
in
the
East-Indies
about
the
time
the
Postillion
,
&c.
were
taken
or
afterwards
,
(
not
or
before
)
as
it
appears
by
the
Writing
marked
with
the
letter
B
Num.
II.
So
that
hereby
their
Lordships
may
see
how
far
the
now
setting
on
foot
the
pretences
of
the
persons
interessed
is
from
being
in
any
kind
prejudicial
or
contrary
to
the
Treaties
of
1654.
or
1659.
concerning
which
much
more
might
be
said
,
but
that
their
Lordships
are
pleased
having
made
this
objection
themselves
,
to
wave
it
,
and
to
admit
the
debate
of
this
matter
,
upon
which
account
also
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
says
no
more
of
it
,
but
only
to
put
them
in
mind
that
the
said
Treaties
were
neither
of
them
made
with
the
King
his
Master
,
nor
with
any
of
His
Predecessors
;
and
consequently
,
there
lies
not
upon
him
the
least
obligation
in
point
of
right
to
take
any
notice
of
them
;
and
that
being
so
,
and
that
their
being
admitted
by
His
Majesty
,
is
meerly
out
of
good
nature
and
kindness
,
would
it
not
be
a
strange
requital
,
and
a
just
cause
of
provocation
,
and
indeed
such
as
His
Majestie
can
in
no
wise
suffer
,
not
to
rest
well
satisfied
with
the
accomplishment
and
observation
of
them
according
to
their
literal
and
genuine
meaning
?
but
to
put
a
forced
and
extorted
sense
upon
them
,
to
the
prejudice
of
His
Subjects
,
and
such
as
was
never
intended
at
the
making
of
them
,
nor
could
never
have
been
demanded
or
expected
from
the
Usurpers
themselves
with
whom
they
were
made
,
nor
from
His
Majestie
,
if
they
had
been
made
with
Him
or
with
any
of
His
Predecessors
.
Now
for
the
second
Objection
,
(
viz.
)
That
though
the
said
Treaties
were
not
,
yet
that
the
persons
claiming
have
no
right
to
what
they
demand
;
for
the
making
good
thereof
their
Lordships
are
pleased
to
alledge
two
things
.
First
,
those
reasons
by
which
the
East-India
Company
of
this
Countrey
maintain
that
they
might
with
justice
,
yea
that
they
were
constrained
to
seise
and
confiscate
the
Ship
Bona
Esperanza
;
and
for
the
Henry
Bona
Adventure
,
that
she
was
wholly
abandonned
by
her
Master
and
Mariners
;
and
that
they
were
willing
,
or
made
no
difficulty
to
suffer
the
people
of
the
East-India
Company
of
this
Countrey
to
save
the
said
Ship
with
her
Lading
.
Secondly
,
that
this
matter
hath
been
intirely
and
absolutely
ended
by
an
amicable
accord
between
the
said
East-India
Company
on
the
one
part
,
and
Jacob
Pergens
and
David
Goubart
on
the
other
part
,
and
that
for
a
valuable
consideration
of
85000.
gilders
;
which
summe
hath
been
in
persuance
thereof
really
paid
by
the
said
Company
.
Now
as
to
the
first
of
these
Arguments
,
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
takes
notice
that
their
Lordships
do
not
insist
upon
it
,
but
only
(
as
it
were
en
passant
)
hint
thereat
;
nor
do
they
so
much
as
put
their
own
stamp
upon
them
,
onely
calling
them
the
said
Companies
Reasons
,
and
without
setting
down
any
of
them
in
perticular
.
And
indeed
no
wonder
,
seeing
that
a
greater
and
more
uncolourable
violence
and
robbery
could
not
have
been
committed
than
was
that
of
the
taking
the
Bona
Esperanza
,
a
Ship
belonging
to
London
,
set
out
from
thence
,
laden
onely
with
English
and
Portugais
goods
,
both
at
that
time
in
peace
and
amity
with
this
Countrey
,
and
bound
from
Goa
to
Maccao
,
places
both
belonging
to
the
said
Portugais
,
and
without
the
least
occasion
offered
by
the
said
Ship
,
nor
could
there
be
a
greater
in
humanity
and
barbarism
than
the
latter
;
the
Henry
Bona
Adventure
not
being
abandonned
by
her
Master
and
Mariners
,
as
will
appear
by
the
Writings
marked
with
the
letter
C
Numb
.
I.
II.
IV.
but
only
some
of
them
coming
to
the
Dutch
,
and
praying
for
their
assistance
towards
the
saving
of
their
ship
and
goods
,
they
under
the
notion
of
assisting
them
take
and
keep
all
to
themselves
:
And
for
what
is
said
of
a
certain
Paper
signed
by
them
,
that
they
would
not
hazard
their
lives
to
save
any
thing
,
their
Lordships
will
find
sufficiently
proved
by
the
said
Writings
,
that
the
English
did
actually
continue
in
their
Ship
,
and
so
that
it
was
no
Wrack
by
Law
:
Moreover
,
that
they
did
assist
in
saving
the
goods
and
Ships
provisions
,
as
is
abundantly
proved
in
the
said
Writings
;
to
which
give
me
leave
to
add
,
that
the
said
Company
did
since
agree
with
the
Portugais
to
pay
them
100000
Rials
of
eight
for
their
Interest
in
the
Goods
in
the
said
Bona
Esperanza
,
whereof
fourescore
thousand
was
actually
paid
;
and
for
the
English
concerned
both
in
the
said
Ship
,
and
in
the
Henry
Bona
Adventure
,
though
they
were
such
as
for
their
Loyaltie
could
have
nothing
of
favour
or
countenance
in
in
their
concernments
,
nor
indeed
have
common
justice
done
therein
in
the
late
distracted
Times
;
yet
the
said
Company
did
(
to
gain
something
of
a
pretence
,
as
if
they
had
made
satisfaction
to
them
)
pay
unto
Jacob
Pergens
and
Goubart
the
summe
of
85000
gilders
,
and
that
in
a
time
when
the
affairs
of
His
late
Majesty
,
in
His
Kingdomes
,
were
in
the
greatest
disorders
and
confusion
,
and
not
capable
to
give
the
least
protection
to
any
English
man
beyond
the
Seas
,
being
about
the
time
of
His
most
execrable
murther
;
and
so
no
man
will
doubt
but
that
if
the
said
East-India
Company
could
have
justified
in
any
measure
what
was
done
,
they
would
not
have
parted
with
such
a
sum
of
money
,
especially
at
such
a
time
,
upon
pretence
of
any
damage
done
to
the
English
.
Now
as
to
the
second
Argument
,
herein
is
indeed
the
life
and
force
of
this
matter
;
and
if
the
Agreement
made
with
the
said
Pergens
and
Goubart
be
a
good
Agreement
,
God
forbid
the
East-India
Company
of
this
Countrey
should
be
called
upon
again
;
but
if
this
be
not
a
good
Agreement
,
then
the
Pretenders
have
a
fair
and
free
way
open
for
their
demanding
satisfaction
.
Now
as
to
Goubart
his
pretence
,
is
only
to
●●/16
of
the
Ship
Bona
Esperanza
,
but
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
Ship
Henry
Bona
Adventure
,
nor
with
the
Lading
of
either
of
them
;
and
as
for
his
Agreement
,
in
so
far
as
his
personal
concernment
went
,
it
is
admitted
for
good
and
not
questioned
;
but
as
to
the
said
Pergens
,
who
had
no
interest
in
either
of
the
Ships
or
their
Lading
,
but
claims
by
vertue
of
certain
Procurations
and
Transports
from
William
Courten
:
The
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
doth
answer
that
the
said
Procurations
and
Transports
are
utterly
voyd
and
null
,
as
appears
by
an
Indenture
hereunto
joyned
marked
with
the
letter
D
Num.
I.
whereby
the
said
William
Courten
had
in
the
Year
1642.
absolutely
transferred
all
his
right
and
interest
in
the
said
Ships
unto
Sir
Paul
Pindar
and
Sir
Edward
Littleton
,
and
that
upon
a
most
valuable
consideration
for
the
sum
of
88000
pounds
sterling
,
principal
money
lent
unto
him
.
And
moreover
the
said
Courten
was
declared
insolvent
for
150000.
pounds
sterling
,
by
reason
of
his
great
losses
in
the
Indies
,
long
before
he
gave
the
said
Procurations
and
Transports
to
Pergens
,
as
appears
by
the
Writings
of
the
letter
C
Num.
III.
and
consequently
was
incapable
by
the
Laws
of
Nations
for
the
doing
of
any
act
for
the
disposal
of
his
goods
:
And
it
is
not
amiss
to
observe
,
that
though
the
East-India
Company
of
this
Countrey
,
out
of
their
desire
of
gaining
something
of
a
colour
to
have
ended
this
foul
business
,
did
part
with
that
inconsiderable
and
pitiful
summe
of
85000.
gilders
,
(
for
so
indeed
it
was
,
not
in
it self
,
but
in
comparison
of
these
losses
and
damages
.
)
Yet
that
they
were
at
that
time
so
advised
of
the
ungroundedness
of
the
said
Pergens
his
pretences
,
that
they
did
not
part
with
a
far
thing
to
him
till
he
had
given
them
good
security
to
repay
the
said
money
,
with
interest
,
in
case
they
should
be
further
troubled
in
this
matter
,
as
appears
by
the
Writings
marked
D
Num.
IV.
the
which
security
is
still
good
,
so
that
the
said
Company
can
be
no
Losers
thereby
.
And
for
what
is
further
alledged
,
as
if
the
said
Pergens
had
really
and
effectually
paid
and
contented
all
the
other
persons
interessed
in
the
Ships
and
Lading
;
if
this
were
indeed
so
,
it
would
be
justly
blame-worthy
for
them
to
demand
satisfaction
a
second
time
;
but
it
is
utterly
false
and
untrue
,
nor
hath
any
one
of
the
persons
pretending
ever
received
from
the
said
Pergens
,
or
any
other
,
upon
this
account
,
directly
or
indirectly
,
the
value
of
one
farthing
.
And
as
to
the
two
Letters
written
by
His
late
Majesty
concerning
this
business
in
the
Year
1647.
the
one
to
their
Lordships
,
and
the
other
to
Sir
William
Boswel
,
His
then
Resident
in
this
Court
;
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
cannot
but
greatly
wonder
that
their
Lordships
should
so
much
as
mention
them
?
what
were
those
Letters
but
Letters
of
Recommendation
,
and
in
general
terms
?
And
was
His
Majesty
at
that
time
in
a
condition
strictly
to
examine
or
look
into
matters
?
had
He
His
Councel
or
His
Admiralties
about
Him
?
He
knew
that
William
Courten
had
set
out
those
Ships
before
the
Civil
War
in
His
Kingdoms
,
and
had
been
informed
that
the
said
Ships
had
been
taken
by
the
Dutch
East-India
Company
;
and
what
did
He
demand
in
His
said
Letters
,
but
onely
that
by
the
States
General
their
help
the
said
East-India
Company
might
be
brought
to
reason
,
as
are
the
words
in
His
Letter
to
them
;
and
as
are
the
words
in
His
Letter
to
Sir
William
Boswel
,
to
press
that
satisfaction
for
68884
pounds
sterling
,
might
speedily
be
made
by
the
Netherlands
East-India
Company
;
but
whether
that
satisfaction
to
be
made
to
the
said
Courten
was
to
be
made
to
Sir
Paul
Pindar
and
Sir
Edward
Littleton
,
and
those
that
claim
under
them
,
or
to
be
made
to
Pergens
,
neither
of
those
Letters
do
speak
;
and
if
they
had
,
yet
would
not
that
in
the
least
alter
or
determine
the
case
in
hand
:
Let
me
ask
your
Lordships
whether
ye
take
any
of
the
King
my
Master
His
Letters
to
be
proofs
and
evidences
pro
or
contra
,
though
written
upon
the
best
and
through'st
examination
(
He
scarce
recommending
any
matter
till
first
considered
and
examined
,
and
reported
to
Him
by
some
of
His
Admiralties
or
Privy
Councel
;
but
only
make
them
a
ground
to
look
into
and
examine
matters
,
and
judge
not
according
thereunto
,
but
as
you
find
matters
upon
the
proof
and
evidence
.
And
how
comes
it
to
pass
that
these
Letters
of
His
late
Majesty
are
produced
in
this
kind
?
if
Pindar
and
Littleton's
Transports
from
Courten
be
good
,
nothing
of
this
nature
can
make
them
invalid
;
nor
if
they
were
invalid
,
make
them
good
.
And
for
what
their
Lordships
do
hint
that
Sir
Paul
Pindar
did
in
the
Years
1650.
and
1651.
prosecute
the
Bewinthebbers
of
the
East-India
Company
,
before
the
Magistrates
at
Amsterdam
,
by
one
Jonas
Abeels
his
Procureur
,
but
did
then
let
the
said
Suit
fall
,
nor
hath
to
their
knowledge
since
revived
it
,
and
so
would
thereby
insinuate
as
if
the
said
Pindar
had
been
convinced
of
his
error
,
and
thereupon
let
it
fall
:
The
Envoy
Extraordinary
doth
reply
,
that
the
fall
of
the
said
Suit
was
not
upon
any
such
ground
,
but
was
occasioned
by
the
death
of
the
said
Pindar
,
by
which
the
said
Abeels
Procuration
also
ceased
,
and
the
War
between
England
and
this
Countrey
broke
out
a
little
after
;
at
the
ending
whereof
,
the
persons
interessed
in
the
said
ships
did
enter
and
persue
their
claim
before
the
Commissioners
that
then
met
at
London
;
and
would
have
done
the
like
in
Switzerland
,
if
the
Instrument
which
was
to
have
been
sent
thither
,
had
ever
been
sent
,
and
Commissioners
met
upon
them
:
the
sending
of
which
Instrument
and
convoking
of
which
Commissioners
was
not
their
work
,
nor
in
their
power
to
do
.
And
as
for
having
their
affairs
afterwards
recommended
to
their
Lordships
in
any
perticular
way
,
their
persons
were
too
black
in
the
eys
of
those
that
then
ruled
,
for
them
to
hope
for
any
thing
of
that
nature
,
and
so
remained
hopeless
and
helpless
till
the
Return
of
His
most
Sacred
Majesty
our
rightful
and
lawful
King
and
Soveraign
;
who
finding
these
His
distressed
and
most
loyal
Subjects
without
satisfaction
,
and
not
excluded
from
it
by
any
Treaties
or
Transactions
made
in
those
Times
;
upon
full
deliberation
and
advice
of
His
Privy
Councel
,
was
pleased
by
His
Letters
dated
at
Whitehall
the
21.
of
March
last
,
earnestly
and
perticularly
to
recommend
this
matter
to
your
Lordships
as
appears
by
the
Writings
marked
with
the
letter
A
,

And
the
Envoy
Extraordinary
hath
moreover
by
this
last
Post
but
one
received
another
Order
from
the
said
Councel
further
,
instantly
to
demand
and
insist
that
satisfaction
be
forthwith
made
to
the
said
persons
,
and
to
report
with
all
speed
what
He
shall
do
therein
to
them
:
And
he
doth
accordingly
earnestly
demand
that
such
orders
be
given
,
as
that
the
said
East-India
Company
do
forthwith
,
without
further
delay
,
pay
unto
them
what
is
their
due
for
their
said
ships
and
goods
,
which
have
been
so
long
and
so
violently
held
from
them
to
the
ruine
of
many
families
,
but
to
the
inestimable
gain
of
the
said
Company
;
who
have
not
only
all
this
while
enjoyed
the
benefit
of
their
Moneys
,
but
thereby
also
utterly
discouraged
and
overthrown
the
Trade
of
the
English
to
China
and
those
Parts
,
and
ingrossed
the
same
wholly
to
themselves

Notwithstanding

the
report
went
at

,
that
the
Kings
Commissioners
appointed
to
Treat
with
the
Dutch
Embassadors
at
London
,
had
excluded
us
from
any
extraordinary
remedy
by
the
Treaty
,
whereupon
I
presently
sent
this
Letter
following
to
the
said
Commissioners
.
These
for
the
Right
Honourable
George
Duke
of
Albemarle
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Commissioners
appointed
by
the
Kings
most
Excellent
Majesty
to
Treat
with
the
Dutch
Embassadors
.
Right
Honourable
,
MAY
it
please
your
Lordships
,
I
am
commanded
by
the
Creditors
of
Mr.
Courten
,
Sir
Edward
Littleton
and
Sir
Paul
Pindar
,
that
have
entrusted
me
with
their
perticular
Complaint
against
the
East-India
Company
of
the
Netherlands
,
to
give
your
Honors
an
Accompt
of
my
Transactions
at
the
Hague
,
with
these
following
Considerations
;
that
a
right
understanding
might
prevent
the
Miscarriage
of
their
business
.
A
Demand
was
made
of
the
States
General
(
on
their
behalf
)
in
the
Kings
Name
upon
His
Majesties
justly
grounded
Letters
of
Recommendation
.
The
Bewinthebbers
of
the
Company
at
the
first
Treaty
offered
85000.
Gilders
,
with
Interest
since
the
Year
1649.
(
provided
I
would
by
consent
simul
&
semel
commence
the
Suit
against
them
and
Jacob
Pergens
before
the
Magistrates
at
Amsterdam
)
in
Satisfaction
.
Afterwards
the
States
of
Holland
perswaded
them
to
decline
any
further
Treaty
,
upon
pretence
the
King
had
promised
their
Embassadors
that
no
Damages
in
the
East-Indies
should
be
insisted
upon
before
the
20.
of
January
,
1659.
I
shall
not
trouble
your
Lordships
with
perticulars
,
but
refer
your
Honors
to
the
enclosed
printed
Reply
given
unto
the
States
Impertinent
Answer
of
the
22.
of
June
last
.
The
Interessed
of
the
Ships
Henry
Bona
Adventure
and
Bona
Esperanza
are
above
Three
hundred
several
persons
,
many
of
them
Orphans
and
Widows
,
whose
Fortunes
were
bound
up
in
the
sad
and
deplorable
condition
of
those
two
worthy
Gentlemen
,
Sir
William
Courten
and
Sir
Paul
Pindar
,
That
lent
the
late
King
(
of
ever
blessed
memory
)
95000
l.
for
the
Ordinary
support
of
his
Crown
,
before
the
late
War
,
and
borrowed
120000
l.
upon
their
Credit
,
to
carry
on
the
China
and
East-India
Trade
,
by
the
late
Kings
especial
appointment
and
Commission
,
in
the
Year
1636.
which
the
Dutch
by
Violence
and
Rapine
have
destroyed
,
and
yet
the
Complainants
not
any
ways
satisfied
,
included
or
excluded
by
any
Agreement
,
Treaty
or
Confederacy
in
the
Years
1649.
1654
&
1659.
Since
the
Reply
to
the
States
Answer
was
dispersed
in
English
,
French
and
Dutch
,
most
of
them
are
ashamed
of
themselves
,
and
several
of
the
Provinces
are
much
troubled
for
the
Injuries
and
Oppression
we
have
suffered
,
and
will
protest
against
the
rest
,
if
we
have
not
speedy
Reparation
made
answerable
to
our
Damages
.
The
persons
concerned
would
rather
perish
than
ask
any
thing
inconsistent
with
the
Honour
or
Safety
of
the
King
and
Kingdome
,
and
they
should
forseit
their
owne
judgement
and
reason
to
Imagine
that
the
King
would
put
His
Subjects
into
a
worse
condition
than
the
Treaties
of
Oliver
and
Richard
the
Usurpers
had
left
them
;
or
,
that
the
Commissioners
appointed
in
this
Treaty
should
allow
the
Preamble
lately
sent
to
the
Dutch
Embassadors
to
incert
before
the
Articles
(
newly
started
,
contrary
to
the
Instructions
of
the
10.
of
May
last
)
intending
by
general
words
to
make
voyd
all
private
Actions
depending
between
the
Subjects
of
England
and
the
People
of
the
United
Provinces
,
opposite
to
the
Law
of
Nations
and
all
Common
Right
.
The
King
was
graciously
pleased
to
promise
that
he
would
not
insist
upon
Commissioners
for
Damages
of
His
Subjects
in
Europe
before
1654.
or
in
the
East-Indies
before
1659.
but
leave
them
to
other
Remedies
:
But
in
this
extraordinary
Case
of
Oppression
and
Injustice
,
the
King
recommended
it
to
the
States
General
for
their
Examination
;
and
if
we
should
now
accept
of
85000
Gilders
with
Interest
,
in
full
satisfaction
for
such
great
Damages
so
highly
disputed
by
the
Kings
command
,
and
most
precise
Orders
of
the
Councel-board
;
It
were
not
onely
to
admit
of
the
Companies
silent
Reasons
for
Taking
the
Ships
,
but
equally
to
betray
the
Dignity
of
the
King
and
His
Crown
,
the
Strength
and
Courage
of
His
Subjects
,
and
the
Justice
of
our
Case
;
which
we
cannot
do
for
consequence
sake
,
being
ready
for
Judgement
in
a
way
of
State
at
the
Hague
,
and
some
of
the
Company
willing
to
give
Satisfaction
in
this
our
Case
as
the
States
shall
appoint
.
The
Holland
Interest
is
Trade
,
and
their
Business
to
Discourage
all
others
but
themselves
:
When
they
are
called
to
Accompt
for
Violencies
and
Robberies
committed
at
Sea
,
their
Pensioners
or
Statesmen
give
ill
language
,
and
would
insinuate
to
the
King
,
that
it
obstructs
the
good
Intelligence
held
between
the
Crown
of
England
and
the
States
of
Holland
;
whereupon
they
have
taken
great
advantages
,
and
by
those
mistakes
have
been
further
encouraged
to
proceed
in
their
wicked
practises
;
knowing
that
to
Implead
them
in
their
own
Courts
of
Judicature
,
would
but
add
Mischief
to
Misery
,
being
both
Parties
and
Judges
themselves
:
Yet
,
if
they
lose
but
a
Herring-boat
,
the
whole
Province
is
concerned
to
recover
it
,
or
satisfaction
.
They
are
a
Generation
made
proud
and
insolent
by
the
condiscention
of
Princes
,
and
so
much
the
more
considerable
in
the
World
,
as
the
King
of
Great
Britain
is
pleased
to
grant
them
in
Treaties
and
Alliances
:
They
are
men
not
to
be
obliged
by
Kindness
,
the
Soveraignty
being
in
the
Common
people
,
who
are
altogether
insensible
of
Honour
,
living
upon
the
spoils
of
Nations
,
and
growing
rich
by
the
vanity
,
sloth
and
excess
of
their
Neighbours
.
My
Lords
,
Admit
the
King
should
refuse
to
Treat
without
caution
to
perform
their
Articles
,
rather
than
they
would
want
the
benefit
of
English
Harbours
in
Winter
,
or
the
Countenance
of
Great
Britain
all
the
year
,
they
will
subscribe
to
any
condition
;
knowing
that
France
and
Spain
holds
correspondency
no
longer
than
they
have
a
fair
opportunity
to
reduce
them
to
their
first
principles
,
or
requite
them
in
some
other
kind
.
The
Frontier
Towns
are
wholly
kept
by
English
,
Scotch
and
French
,
that
know
both
the
strength
and
weakness
of
their
Countrey
,
and
they
are
forced
to
continue
their
Armies
as
much
to
govern
by
an
Arbitrary
way
at
home
,
as
to
defend
themselves
from
Invasion
abroad
;
their
Shipping
must
be
supplyed
by
Strangers
that
are
not
any
way
concerned
for
the
defence
of
their
Countrey
,
therefore
the
King
may
take
his
advantage
,
and
set
a
valuable
price
upon
his
owne
Inheritance
which
God
and
Nature
hath
endowed
him
withall
.
My
Lords
,
I
know
they
hunger
after
a
nearer
Alliance
with
the
King
,
and
had
rather
be
at
Enmity
with
the
whole
world
than
not
in
Amity
with
England
.
They
term
the
Union
with
the
King
like
man
and
wife
.
I
humbly
beseech
you
,
in
the
name
of
all
the
Interessed
persons
for
whom
I
am
concerned
,
that
by
some
special
Provisoe
in
the
Treaty
,
Ours
being
an
extraordinary
Case
,
It
may
be
reserved
to
such
Remedies
as
the
King
and
His
Councel
shall
think
fit
;
otherwise
,
all
English
men
beyond
the
Seas
that
have
heard
the
noise
of
this
Case
,
will
despair
of
any
protection
,
and
resolve
if
the
King
cannot
have
that
Reputation
throughout
the
world
that
no
Kingdome
or
Nation
whatsoever
shall
dare
to
affront
His
Merchants
at
Sea
,
their
Trade
will
be
wholly
left
to
them
that
so
earnestly
persue
it
.
I
beg
your
pardon
for
my
boldness
,
and
leave
all
to
your
grave
wisdoms
and
considerations
,

The
third
Memoriall
of
Sir
GEORGE
DOVVNING
to
the
States
Generall
.
THe
underwritten
Envoy
Extraordinary
of
His
most
Sacred
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
,
&c.
is
very
sorry
that
he
must
still
reproach
their
Lordships
,
that
yet
to
this
day
since
the
Return
of
his
Master
into
His
Kingdomes
,
there
is
not
one
Example
made
by
them
or
their
Order
for
satisfaction
and
reparation
to
any
of
His
Subjects
,
in
any
of
those
many
and
grievous
Complaints
,
which
in
His
Name
,
and
by
His
special
Orders
have
been
from
time
to
time
made
unto
them
;
the
which
their
Lordships
must
think
cannot
but
neerly
touch
such
a
King
and
such
a
Neighbour
,
and
the
more
when
He
considers
how
frequent
the
Examples
of
their
Justice
were
in
the
dayes
of
those
who
usurped
His
Crowns
and
Authority
;
and
also
how
many
Examples
have
been
of
His
Justice
from
day
to
day
towards
their
Subjects
at
the
request
of
their
Embassadors
,
by
the
interposition
of
His
Royal
Authority
.
And
though
it
is
now
a
considerable
time
since
he
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
did
give
in
to
their
Deputies
,
his
Replies
upon
what
had
been
given
him
by
them
concerning
the
Ships
Bona
Esperanza
,
Henry
Bona
Adventure
,
and
the
Ship
Charles
;
by
which
it
appears
to
the
whole
World
,
how
groundlesse
and
frivolous
were
the
Shifts
and
Pretexts
which
those
who
have
done
these
Robberies
and
Uiolences
would
avoyd
the
making
satisfaction
for
them
,
yet
he
hath
not
since
that
time
heard
one
word
from
them
or
from
their
Lordships
concerning
them
.
And
he
doth
herewith
further
complain
,
that
a
certain
English
Ship
called
the
Content
of
London
,
whereof
one
William
Jordan
was
Commander
,
sailing
out
of
the
Downs
,
in
the
Month
of
October
last
,
for
the
Coast
of
Africa
,
was
there
in
a
hostile
manner
set
upon
by
two
ships
belonging
to
the
West-India
Company
of
this
Country
,
the
one
called
the
Golden
Lyon
,
and
the
other
the
St.
Barbara
,
and
taken
,
the
People
stripped
and
plundered
;
and
he
doth
demand
that
satisfaction
and
reparation
be
forthwith
made
to
the
persons
interessed
,
as
also
to
those
concerned
in
the
Experience
,
the
Ship
Daniel
,
Brazil
Frigot
,
Leopard
,
St.
John
Baptist
,
and
others
,
concerning
which
,
complaints
have
been
made
to
their
Lordships
.
And
de
doth
hope
that
he
shall
at
last
be
able
to
give
an
account
to
His
Master
of
the
reall
effects
of
their
Justice
,
without
which
it
is
but
a
prostituting
of
His
Honour
and
Dignity
to
continue
the
sending
His
Subjects
hither
,
and
endeavouring
to
obtain
reparation
for
them
in
this
neighbourly
and
friendly
way
.
Given
at
the
Hague
this
6/16
August
1662.

The
Answer
of
the
Lords
States
General
(
Translated
out
of
the
Dutch
Original
)
to
Sir
GEORGE
DOVVNING's
Third
Memoriall
.
THE
States
General
of
the
United
Provinces
,
&c
:
having
seen
,
examined
,
and
considered
,
a
certain
Memoriall
delivered
by
Sir
George
Downing
Envoy
Extraordinary
from
His
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
,
&c.
in
his
late
conference
with
their
Ho:
Mo
:
Deputies
;
as
also
his
Memorialls
presented
from
time
to
time
,
concerning
the
Ships
called
the
Bona
Esperanza
and
Bona
Adventure
:
After
mature
deliberation
;
they
have
thought
fit
to
declare
by
these
presents
,
that
their
Ho:
Mo
:
did
not
in
the
least
doubt
,
but
that
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
,
and
the
King
His
Master
,
would
have
acquiesced
in
the
particular
informations
and
circumstances
comprehended
in
their
Ho:
Mo
:
Answer
on
the
22
of
June
last
,
touching
the
same
Subject
,
protesting
that
they
did
only
cause
this
to
be
done
for
better
information
and
no
otherwise
;
but
finding
contrary
to
what
was
expected
,
their
Ho:
Mo
:
can
assure
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
,
and
the
King
His
Master
,
with
all
truth
and
sincerity
,
that
they
find
nothing
in
the
said
Memoriall
,
nor
in
the
said
Pieces
joyned
,
that
can
in
the
least
weaken
the
force
of
the
said
Information
,
whereupon
their
Ho:
Mo
:
would
inlarge
themselves
,
were
it
not
that
by
the
Treaties
of
1654
and
1659.
these
,
as
also
all
other
pretences
,
known
by
the
one
side
or
the
other
,
before
that
time
ought
to
be
considered
,
as
matters
extinguished
,
whereby
their
Ho:
Mo
:
think
it
not
fit
to
enter
into
any
dispute
with
the
said
Sir
George
Downing
,
being
that
the
same
hath
been
presented
to
His
Majesty
by
the
Embassadors
of
this
State
,
and
caused
the
said
matter
to
be
deliberated
on
in
his
Councell
,
who
did
acquiesce
therein
,
as
it
doth
evidently
appear
by
His
Majesties
solemn
Answer
,
Signed
by
one
of
His
Secretaries
of
State
,
and
delivered
to
them
on
the
25
of
May
last
;
as
likewise
in
his
Majesties
solemn
Declaration
made
to
the
Embassadors
in
their
Audience
at
Hampton
Court
,
the
4.
of
July
last
;
and
their
Ho:
Mo
:
do
only
depend
upon
His
royal
Word
passed
at
that
instant
,
as
also
upon
those
reasons
which
are
equitable
and
just
,
passed
in
their
Ho:
Mo

of
the
United
Provinces
,
of
the
26.
instant
,
in
rejoinder
to
his
Reply
of
the
13.
of
July
last
,
concerning
the
ships
Bona
Esperanza
and
Bona
Adventure
;
and
having
considered
and
examined
the
same
,
finds
it
only
to
contain
thus
much
:
That
their
Lordships
did
not
doubt
but
that
he
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
,
and
the
King
His
Master
,
would
have
acquiesced
in
their
Answer
of
the
22.
of
June
last
;
and
that
they
do
not
find
any
thing
in
the
said
Reply
,
nor
in
the
pieces
thereunto
joined
,
that
can
in
any
kind
weaken
the
force
of
their
said
Answer
;
and
this
is
the
whole
of
their
said
Resolution
:
But
as
to
the
producing
of
any
new
matter
on
the
behalf
of
the
East-India
Company
of
this
Country
,
whereby
to
better
their
cause
,
or
to
shew
or
make
out
that
the
matters
set
down
in
the
aforesaid
Reply
,
and
made
good
by
the
pieces
thereunto
joined
,
were
in
any
kind
ill
founded
or
mistaken
:
The
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
doth
not
therein
find
one
word
or
syllable
of
that
nature
.
Were
this
a
dispute
between
their
own
Subjects
,
it
might
suffice
for
them
despotically
to
affirm
that
they
do
not
find
that
the
reasons
given
by
the
person
injured
,
in
reply
to
what
is
said
by
the
person
doing
the
injury
to
be
of
value
,
and
to
command
him
to
acquiesce
in
the
Declaration
of
that
their
pleasure
or
opinion
;
but
this
dispute
is
not
between
them
and
their
Subjects
,
but
between
them
and
their
Neighbours
,
between
the
King
His
Master
and
their
Lordships
,
and
His
Subjects
and
theirs
;
and
it
is
their
Subjects
that
have
done
the
wrong
,
and
who
did
forcibly
assail
and
attack
His
Subjects
,
and
by
violence
take
from
them
their
ships
and
goods
,
and
are
yet
in
possession
of
them
,
and
this
is
confessed
:
And
so
it
is
not
enough
that
their
Lordships
are
well
contented
and
satisfied
,
but
it
will
be
expected
that
they
do
either
clearly
and
perticularly
refute
and
take
away
what
is
said
in
the
said
Reply
,
on
the
behalf
of
His
Majesties
Subjects
who
are
thus
grieved
and
injured
,
or
cause
satisfaction
and
reparation
to
be
forthwith
made
;
or
else
His
Majesties
intercession
in
an
amicable
way
is
at
an
issue
,
and
he
must
betake
himself
to
such
other
means
as
are
capable
to
right
His
Subjects
.
And
for
what
their
Lordships
are
pleased
to
say
,
that
they
should
have
enlarged
themselves
further
,
but
that
this
matter
ought
to
be
looked
upon
as
extinguished
by
the
Treaties
of
1654
and
1659.
The
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
doth
answer
,
that
this
is
a
begging
the
question
;
it
being
not
only
utterly
denied
in
the
aforesaid
Reply
,
that
this
matter
is
in
any
kind
debarred
or
mortified
by
either
of
the
said
Treaties
;
but
it
is
in
the
said
Reply
perticularly
and
at
large
shewn
how
far
they
are
both
of
them
from
any
thing
of
that
nature
:
And
on
the
other
hand
,
their
Lordships
neither
in
the
abovesaid
Answer
of
the
22.
of
June
,
nor
in
this
their
Resolution
(
though
they
would
thus
pay
His
Majesties
Subjects
with
Ink
and
Paper
)
do
not
in
either
of
them
so
much
as
hint
at
any
Article
,
Clause
or
Paragraph
of
the
said
Treaties
,
by
which
this
matter
should
ve
so
mortified
and
extinguished
.
And
for
the
Paper
of
the
15
of
May
last
,
signed
by
one
of
His
Majesties
Secretaries
of
State
,
and
delivered
to
their
Embassadors
at
London
,
upon
which
they
would
found
that
His
Majesty
had
consented
to
the
mortification
of
this
businesse
:
The
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
cannot
but
greatly
wonder
at
an
allegation
of
this
nature
;
What
was
then
the
dispute
?
was
it
about
mortifying
or
not
mortifying
of
matters
before
or
after
,
such
time
or
times
?
that
was
not
the
dispute
,
but
only
from
what
time
matters
should
be
decided
by
Commissioners
;
and
as
to
this
,
His
Majesty
was
pleased
in
that
Paper
to
declare
himself
that
he
did
acquiesce
in
what
was
urged
by
their
Embassadors
,
and
that
he
would
not
press
any
further
Retrospect
then
1654.
as
to
matters
out
of
the
East-Indies
,
and
1659.
for
matters
in
the
East-Indies
,
as
to
the
taking
cognisance
of
them
by
Commissioners
,
and
as
to
what
his
Majesty
should
have
said
in
the
Audience
he
gave
their
Embassadors
at
Hampton
Court
the
4
of
July
last
:
The
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
doth
reply
,
that
their
Lordships
have
in
writing
,
and
so
hath
he
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
what
His
Majesty
did
then
say
,
and
he
doth
positively
deny
that
there
is
therein
any
word
or
syllable
concerning
the
business
of
these
two
ships
,
or
that
doth
in
any
kind
concern
the
point
in
hand
;
and
for
the
verifying
hereof
,
he
refers
to
the
Paper
it self
;
nor
did
at
that
time
or
any
other
time
any
thing
passe
His
Majesty
or
His
Commissioners
in
any
conference
with
their
Embassadors
,
other
,
then
that
for
matters
before
1659
,
in
the
East-Indies
,
his
Majesty
would
not
insist
to
have
them
decided
by
Commissioners
,
but
that
he
did
ever
yeild
that
they
should
be
cut
off
from
all
other
remedies
,
this
is
utterly
denied
;
and
if
he
had
,
to
what
purpose
had
been
the
continued
Orders
of
his
Majesty
and
his
Privy
Councel
for
the
pressing
satisfaction
in
this
business
?
it
being
to
no
manner
of
purpose
to
have
pressed
for
satisfaction
while
the
Treaty
was
in
hand
,
for
a
business
which
was
to
be
cut
off
by
the
said
Treaty
,
in
case
it
came
to
a
close
;
it
being
beyond
doubt
that
if
their
Lordships
had
had
assurance
that
the
said
matter
was
to
be
cut
off
by
the
said
Treaty
,
there
was
nothing
of
satisfaction
to
be
expected
,
untill
they
saw
the
issue
thereof
.
The
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
cannot
but
further
take
notice
,
that
their
Lordships
in
their
foresaid
Resolution
speak
not
a
word
of
their
agreement
with
Pergens
;
nor
is
it
strange
,
seeing
the
transport
by
which
he
claims
,
bears
date
some
years
after
Courten
had
made
over
all
his
interest
in
the
said
ships
to
Sir
E.
Littleton
and
Sir
P.
Pindar
,
for
the
sum
of
68000
l.
sterling
money
lent
to
him
;
and
moreover
,
that
the
said
Courten
was
insolvent
at
the
time
of
his
making
the
said
Transport
to
the
said
Pergens
,
and
consequently
uncapable
by
the
Laws
of
Merchants
,
both
in
England
,
here
,
and
elsewhere
,
to
dispose
of
one
farthing
.
Moreover
,
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
cannot
but
let
their
Lordships
know
upon
this
occasion
,
that
since
the
giving
in
of
his
Reply
there
are
certain
authentique
writings
and
Papers
come
to
hand
at
London
;
by
which
it
appears
that
Sir
Paul
Pindar
upon
the
25
of
May
1648.
hearing
that
the
Directors
of
the
East
India-Company
of
this
Country
were
in
Treaty
with
Pergens
,
did
by
his
Procurer
Jonas
Abeels
insinuate
to
the
Directors
of
the
said
Company
at
Amsterdam
his
arrest
and
attachments
,
and
declared
himself
to
be
the
true
Proprietor
of
the
said
ships
,
and
of
all
dammages
and
losses
thereby
,
protesting
against
the
said
Company
in
case
they
should
make
payment
to
any
other
:
Moreover
,
that
upon
the
10
of
Novemb.
1648.
the
Senators
or
Eschevens
of
Amsterdam
did
declare
the
Arrest
of
the
said
Jonas
Abeels
to
be
good
and
valid
,
and
adjudged
the
same
to
be
so
;
and
the
agreement
made
with
Pergens
was
not
till
the
18
of
Septem.
1649.
so
that
this
transport
to
Pindar
is
not
a
thing
that
hath
been
kept
conceal'd
till
now
,
but
the
said
Directors
had
timely
and
legal
notice
and
advertisement
thereof
,
but
did
notwithstanding
thereof
agree
with
Pergens
,
he
proffering
to
acquit
them
for
so
small
a
summe
as
that
85000
Gilders
;
and
that
if
they
should
have
been
able
to
have
made
good
this
agreement
,
they
had
for
a
matter
of
nothing
ended
a
business
of
this
value
,
and
if
they
could
not
yet
were
sure
not
to
be
losers
,
the
said
Pergens
giving
them
good
security
in
that
case
to
repay
the
said
money
with
Interest
,
after
the
rate
of
4
per
cent
for
such
time
as
he
should
have
it
in
his
hands
,
and
which
security
is
yet
good
.
Moreover
,
upon
the
26
of
Novemb.
1649.
which
is
about
seven
weeks
after
the
aforesaid
Agreement
,
the
Senators
or
Eschevens
of
Amsterdam
did
again
declare
the
attachment
and
arrest
of
Jonas
Abeels
to
be
valid
,
and
the
Law
to
be
on
Sir
Paul
Pindar's
side
,
with
all
costs
and
dammages
.
And
although
such
a
rejoinder
as
this
of
their
Lordships
,
in
a
case
of
this
nature
,
could
not
but
seem
very
strange
at
any
time
,
yet
much
more
at
this
,
when
it
is
known
to
all
men
that
the
conclusion
or
breaking
off
the
Treaty
with
His
Majesty
,
and
consequently
the
good
correspondence
of
his
Kingdoms
and
these
Provinces
,
depends
singly
upon
the
issue
of
this
business
;
and
if
his
Majesty
were
no
ways
satisfied
with
their
Answer
of
the
22
of
June
,
what
can
be
expected
to
be
the
issue
of
this
Resolution
?
And
if
it
shall
be
said
,
what
?
will
his
Majesty
stop
a
whole
Treaty
of
that
nature
upon
a
perticular
business
?
The
Answer
is
ready
,
that
it
is
not
his
Majesty
but
their
Lordships
that
do
stop
the
Treaty
upon
this
business
;
his
Majesty
did
not
desire
nor
intend
that
so
much
as
mention
should
be
made
thereof
in
this
Treaty
,
but
to
have
left
it
to
its
course
in
the
way
it
is
;
but
their
Lordships
did
of
late
offer
certain
preambles
and
general
clauses
to
be
inserted
into
the
Treaty
for
the
utter
mortifying
and
extinguishing
of
it
,
or
at
least
(
as
they
have
since
been
pleased
to
qualifie
it
)
for
the
removing
it
out
of
the
amicable
way
in
which
it
is
now
,
and
hath
been
these
many
months
depending
between
their
Lordships
and
him
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
;
and
in
which
it
is
so
far
advanced
,
that
all
in
a
manner
hath
been
said
that
can
be
said
on
either
side
,
and
thereby
to
put
the
persons
who
have
already
suffered
so
many
years
,
and
by
which
some
of
them
have
been
utterly
ruined
,
to
a
new
,
vast
and
endless
dispute
and
charge
elsewhere
,
the
which
their
present
low
condition
,
and
His
Majesties
honour
can
in
no
ways
admit
;
especially
when
he
considers
that
in
the
year
1659.
the
business
of
the
Postillion
,
Frederick
,
Francis
,
and
John
,
three
Ships
of
London
taken
about
Bantam
in
the
East-Indies
,
by
some
Ships
of
the
East-India
Company
of
this
Countreywas
examined
,
debated
,
and
determined
,
not
by
the
ordinary
Judge
,
but
in
a
politick
way
by
their
Lordships
,
in
like
manner
as
is
now
actually
depending
the
business
of
these
two
ships
.
And
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
cannot
but
put
their
Lordships
in
mind
upon
this
occasion
,
that
their
Lordships
in
their
Resolution
of
the
10.
of
May
last
,
given
to
him
by
their
Agent
de
Heyde
,
will
find
that
then
there
was
no
preamble
before
the
Article
concerning
Commissioners
,
whereby
to
mortifie
matters
before
1654.
and
1659.
respectively
;
yea
that
toward
the
close
of
the
said
Resolution
they
would
perswade
to
have
accepted
the
term
of
1659.
for
Commissioners
,
as
well
out
of
the
East
Indies
as
in
the
East-Indies
,
upon
this
Argument
,
that
though
the
Commissioners
should
only
have
taken
cognisance
from
1659.
yet
that
such
whose
grievances
were
before
that
time
,
should
not
be
deprived
,
but
have
their
liberty
of
other
remedies
:
And
if
their
Lordships
please
to
look
over
the
Memorial
of
him
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
of
the
28
of
June
last
,
and
which
was
the
occasion
of
the
Audience
of
the
4
of
July
following
,
given
by
his
Majesty
to
their
Embassadors
,
they
will
find
the
words
of
the
said
Memoriall
to
be
expressly
these
;
(
That
His
Majesty
was
content
that
nothing
should
be
put
upon
the
List
of
Damages
,
to
be
decided
by
Commissioners
,
as
to
matters
happened
in
the
East-Indies
,
which
were
known
at
London
the
20.
of
Jan.
1659.
but
would
leave
them
to
other
remedies
.
These
are
the
express
words
in
the
said
Memorial
,
whereby
their
Lordships
may
perceive
how
far
it
was
from
ever
being
imagined
,
much
less
intended
,
that
by
yeilding
Commissioners
from
1659
all
matters
before
that
time
should
be
cut
off
from
all
other
remedies
,
and
absolutely
mortified
.
And
if
it
shall
be
objected
,
that
if
satisfaction
should
be
made
for
these
two
ships
,
that
it
might
be
an
Incouragement
and
give
occasion
to
others
to
bring
in
their
antiquated
complaints
also
:
It
is
answered
,
that
though
his
Majesty
might
with
justice
have
insisted
hereupon
,
and
the
rather
considering
how
many
of
his
best
Subjects
were
sufferers
by
this
Country
during
the
late
Broils
in
his
Kingdoms
;
yet
it
hath
pleased
his
Majesty
(
to
shew
His
strong
passion
to
have
this
Treaty
happily
concluded
)
to
admit
of
their
late
preamble
,
whereby
all
differences
of
this
kind
before
1654.
out
of
the
East-Indies
,
and
all
differences
in
the
East-Indies
before
1659.
are
mortified
,
excepting
only
the
business
of
the
two
ships
;
for
the
obtaining
satisfaction
for
which
he
is
obliged
both
in
honour
and
word
;
so
that
if
the
Treaty
come
to
a
conclusion
this
objection
is
out
of
Dores
;
but
if
not
,
others
whose
number
is
not
small
,
as
well
as
the
persons
interessed
in
these
two
ships
,
will
put
in
for
justice
.
And
whereas
it
is
commonly
scattered
to
and
again
,
as
if
although
the
business
of
these
two
ships
were
excepted
or
ended
,
that
yet
new
difficulties
and
matters
would
be
proposed
on
the
part
of
His
Majesty
,
and
so
the
Treaty
still
kept
oft
:
The
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
doth
demand
of
their
Lordships
what
one
difficulty
hath
been
propounded
on
His
side
for
these
six
or
eight
months
,
other
than
that
one
which
deserves
not
be
mentioned
,
viz.
the
having
of
some
other
to
be
Umpire
,
and
not
the
Switzes
;
and
this
being
so
,
he
cannot
attribute
reports
of
this
nature
to
any
thing
but
very
bad
information
,
or
no
great
desire
at
least
of
having
the
Treaty
brought
to
a
good
issue
;
and
he
doth
assure
their
Lordships
,
that
as
the
dispute
about
these
two
ships
,
its
being
brought
into
the
Treaty
,
arose
not
from
His
Majesty
,
but
from
this
State
;
so
that
no
new
matter
will
be
propounded
by
Him
or
His
Commissioners
,
but
that
the
business
of
these
two
ships
being
reserved
to
be
continued
in
the
way
in
which
they
are
,
or
immediately
if
their
Lordships
see
good
,
brought
to
an
issue
,
the
Treaty
will
be
forthwith
concluded
:
the
which
His
Majesty
doth
,
and
all
good
men
ought
,
to
their
utmost
,
to
desire
and
promote
,
for
the
avoiding
those
deluges
of
miseries
which
the
breaking
off
thereof
will
certainly
let
in
;
and
it
is
an
easie
matter
when
waters
are
within
their
bounds
to
keep
them
so
;
but
very
hard
to
return
them
to
their
old
Channels
when
they
have
found
a
new
one
.

the

30
of

AFterwards
the
States
General
made
several
Resolutions
,
or
pretended
to
make
such
Resolutions
,
to
send
for
their
Embassadors
from
ENGLAND
,
without
any
Effects
of
the
Treaty
;
whereupon
their
Embassadors
went
several
times
to
the
King
and
chief
Ministers
of
State
,
solemnly
to
crave
their
Credential
Letters
to
be
gone
;
which
were
prepared
ready
for
them
,
and
His
Majesty
ordered
the
Secretaries
of
State
that
they
should
be
delivered
as
soon
as
they
pleased
to
call
for
them
:
But
afterwards
the
Embassadors
,
upon
better
consideration
,
entred
into
further
conference
with
the
Kings
Commissioners
,
and
concluded
the
Treaty
with
the
Clause
in
the
XV.
Article
,
containing
these
words
within
a
Parenthesis
(
hoc
excepto
,
quod
scilicet
qui
se
jacturam
passos
dicunt
in
duabus
Navibus
,
videlicet
,
Bona
Aventura
&
Bona
Esperanza
,
poterunt
litem
inceptam
prosequi
)
which
litem
inceptam
was
agreed
after
three
weeks
debate
on
it
before
the
Treaty
,
and
concluded
,
that
it
should
be
understood
and
construed
to
be
in
the
way
it
now
depended
between
the
King
and
the
States
General
,
and
not
left
to
the
ordinary
course
of
Justice
in
Holland
.
The
Articles
of
the
Treaty
being
thus
agreed
and
concluded
,
after
they
were
signed
by
the
Embassadors
and
Commissioners
,
the
Embassadors
sent
them
away
by
a
Gentleman
of
their
owne
,
with
a
Letter
to
the
States
General
.

Sept.
1662.
SInce
our
last
of
the
8.
Instant
,
we
have
received
their
Ho:
Mo
:
Resolution
of
the
5.
Instant
,
and
upon
Monday
last
we
had
another
Conference
with
His
Majesties
Commissioners
,
in
which
we
did
distinctly
examine
all
the
Articles
set
down
,
and
finding
them
in
every
degree
sutable
to
what
was
agreed
,
but
onely
in
this
one
Case
,
touching
the
pretences
of
those
Interessed
in
the
Ships
the
Bona
Adventure
and
Bona
Esperanza
,
that
they
must
not
be
comprehended
in
the
General
Abolition
,
as
was
projected
in
the
15.
Article
,
and
that
it
ought
to
be
inserted
also
in
the
said
Article
,
so
that
the
Commissioners
would
not
in
the
least
go
backward
from
that
Resentment
;
We
thereupon
found
our selves
necessitated
to
agree
the
said
unto
them
,
or
else
to
take
our
leaves
without
any
effects
:
Whereupon
we
entred
with
His
Majesties
Commissioners
into
deliberation
and
examination
of
their
Ho:
Mo
:
Resolution
of
the
19.
of
June
,
and
that
sent
to
us
of
the
21.
of
the
same
Instant
;
as
likewise
that
of
the
5.
of

and
we
agreed
,
that
in
the
15.
Article
after
the
words
,
sibi
competere
putant
,
there
should
be
put
into
a
Parenthesis
this
Clause
,
(
hoc
excepto
,
quod
scilicet
,
qui
se
jacturam
passos
dicunt
in
duabus
Navibus
,
viz.
Bona
Adventura
&
Bona
Esperanza
,
poterunt

inceptam
prosequi
:
)
We
hope
that
their
Ho:
Mo
:
will
not
take
this
resolution
ill
of
us
,
for
that
we
have
been
intreated
thereunto
,
and
that
we
saw
in
case
we
should
go
away
without
a
conclusion
,
that
great
troubles
would
happen
;
and
that
we
had
it
from
a
very
sure
hand
,
that
His
Majestie
had
already
given
Orders
to
His
Envoy
residing
at
the
Hague
,
to
make
himself
ready
,
that
when
we
should
come
homewards
,
that
also
without
any
delay
he
should
hasten
himself
over
;
and
again
,
the
Treaty
not
being
concluded
,
those
pretences
would
not
be
disanulled
,
and
that
by
that
means
those
interessed
would
have
the
freedome
to
proceed
therein
,
as
they
would
think
fit
.
We
cannot
judge
whether
that
contained
in
their
Ho:
Mo
:
Resolution
of
the
21
of
July
,
is
thereby
satisfied
implicitely
,
the
words
being
no
prejudice
,
but
very
much
agreeing
to
their
Ho:
Mo.
meaning
,
sent
Us
in
Writing
since
that
Instant
.
And
although
the
said
matter
is
persued
by
their
Ho:
Mo:
Yet
they
have
the
same
means
to
do
or
leave
what
they
shall
judge
fit
or
unfit
to
be
done
;
So
that
in
this
particular
the
Condition
of
the
United
Provinces
is
not
in
the
least
prejudiced
:
we
hope
also
not
to
have
transgressed
against
the
intention
of
their
Ho:
Mo
:
in
agreeing
that
the
said
Clause
might
also
be
included
in
the
Treaty
,
and
not
to
be
set
down
in
a
Seperate
Article
,
for
that
we
did
nor
judge
that
difference
to
be
of
so
great
importance
,
that
any
further
dispute
or
delay
ought
to
be
occasioned
thereby
in
the
concluding
of
the
Treaty
,
and
that
although
such
a
Seperate
Article
should
be
set
down
,
as
it
useth
only
to
be
done
for
Secretnesse
sake
,
yet
that
this
could
not
miss
taking
notice
of
,
and
that
the
Interessed
should
not
refrain
persuing
their
pretences
;
so
that
we
judge
we
have
fulfilled
the
said
Resolution
implicite
,
as
also
in
setting
down
after
the
word
Submissio
,
the
word
Progressio
,
for
that
it
shews
it self
that
a
businesse
submitted
must
be
there
persued
.
And
that
nothing
remain
disputable
,
after
that
each
others
powers
were
read
,
we
did
examine
the
Articles
consented
unto
,
according
to
what
mentioned
before
,
and
were
written
in
a
fair
hand
,
and
conferred
thereupon
,
and
so
agreed
and
made
the
said
of
force
by
Signing
and
Sealing
,
so
that
we
have
put
our
last
hands
to
this
long
and
tedious
Negotiation
;
the
Commissioners
could
not
approve
of
having
both
Instruments
signed
;
but
only
that
that
delivered
by
them
to
us
,
should
be
only
confirmed
vice
versa
,
suffering
also
that
their
Ho:
Mo
:
Power
given
to
Us
in
that
of
Our
Signed
Instrument
,
be
inserted
before
that
of
His
Majesty
,
alledging
that
the
Treaties
made
by
this
King
with
the
Sweeds
,
Denmark
,
and
Portugall
,
were
all
signed
in
the
same
manner
.
We
hope
that
not
any
prejudice
can
be
occasioned
thereby
to
their
Ho:
Mo
:
since
not
to
occasion
hinderance
,
the
signing
was
done
in
this
manner
:
according
to
what
further
was
proposed
by
their
Excellencies
,
so
that
no
new
matters
might
have
happened
.
We
have
thought
fit
to
send
the
Original
of
the
Treaty
by
one
of
our
Gentlemen
,
and
for
our
parts
,
we
shall
so
soon
as
possibly
(
with
Gods
blessing
)
hasten
our selves
homewards
,
which
we
hope
will
be
the
next
Week
,
and
then
to
give

George
Downing
.
WIthin
three
or
four
days
after
this
last
Memorial
was
given
in
to
the
States
Deputies
,
there
was
ae
Conference
desired
by
the
said
Deputies
,
or
some
of
them
;
whereupon
Sir
George
Downing
met
with
the
Pensionaris
de
Witt
to
hear
both
parties
,
and
Mr.
Vandam
(
Advocate
for
the
East-India
Company
)
offered
several
objections
against
the
right
and
pretence
of
the
English
,
and
chiefly
insisted
at
that
time
upon
poterunt
litem
inceptam
prosequi
,
and
urged
it
to
be
understood
the
Suit
begun
by
Jonas
Abeels
at
Amsterdam
;
but
after
some
debate
it
was
then
agreed
and
reconciled
between
Sir
George
Downing
and
the
said
Pensionaris
,
to
be
the
Cause
depending
upon
the
Kings
recommendation
before
the
States
General
at
the
Hague
;
Sir
George
at
that
time
further
offering
Letters
from
both
the
Principal
Secretaries
to
His
Majesty
,
that
the
States
Embassadors
insisted
upon
that
point
many
days
before
the
Treaty
was
concluded
,
but
it
would
not
be
condescended
unto
.
Mr.
Oyens
(
the
King's
Advocate
Commissionated
in
Foraign
Affairs
)
answered
most
of
the
Objections
,
and
Mr.
Carew
(
being
then
present
)
desired
that
both
parties
might
come
with
their
Counsel
fully
instructed
at
another
time
,
to
speak
to
the
points
only
in
controversie
;
whereupon
another
Conference
was
appointed
at
Sir
George
Downing's
House
in
the
Hague
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Advocates
of
the
Company
had
several
Consultations
,
and
Mr.
Carew
with
his
Advocates
the
like
:
And
at
the
said
Conference
the
East-India
Company
objected
against
the
Interessed
these
things
following
,
viz.
1.
That
res
mobilis
could
not
be
granted
without
the
possession
delivered
.
2.
That
by
the
Tripartite
Indenture
of
Assignement
or
Transport
from
William
Courten
and
Sir
Edward
Littleton
to
Sir
Paul
Pindar
,
of
the
19.
Decemb.
1642.
there
was
onely
a
Security
granted
for
Money
lent
,
and
not
the
real
Interest
transferred
in
Ships
or
Goods
to
Sir
Paul
Pindar
.
3.
That
in
case
of
Shipwrack
or
other
miscarriage
,
Sir
Paul
Pindar
was
not
to
suffer
Damage
,
but
to
sue
the
Polices
of
Assurances
;
therefore
he
can
have
no
pretence
to
the
Ships
or
their
Lading
.
4.
That
Sir
Paul
Pindar
could
not
claim
his
proportionable
payments
until
some
moneths
after
the
Return
of
the
Ships
to
London
,
and
therefore
also
he
can
have
no
pretence
to
the
Damages
.
5.
As
to
the
Deed
or
Indenture
of
Bargain
and
Sale
from
William
Courten
to
Sir
Edward
Littleton
,
dated
the
26
of
April
,
1642.
it
was
onely
a
Counter-security
against
Engagements
,
and
that
he
had
not
paid
any
money
for
Mr.
Courten
at
the
time
of
Pergens
his
Transports
;
and
therefore
Mr.
Courten
was
not
divested
of
his
property
in
the
Ships
or
their
Lading
.
6.
That
admitting
Sir
Edward
Littleton's
right
,
or
any
other
Proprietor
,
they
were
excluded
from
any
new
allegation
or
pretence
,
having
not
entred
their
Claim
in
1654.
before
the
English
and
Dutch
Commissioners
,
according
to
the
30.
Article
of
Cromwell's
Treaty
.
7.
That
as
to
the
Commission
grounded
upon
the
Statutes
made
concerning
Bankrupts
,
neither
the
Statutes
or
Common
Laws
of
England
could
be
effectual
or
take
place
in
the
Low
Countreys
,
where
all
things
are
Tryed
by
the
Civil
Law
,
or
Law
of
Nations
.
8.
That
admitting
Mr.
Courten
were
insolvent
when
he
made
the
Transports
to
Pergens
,
the
Company
could
not
take
any
such
notice
as
to
deem
him
uncapable
of
transferring
his
right
to
any
thing
he
had
in
the
United
Provinces
.
Wherefore
they
concluded
upon
the
whole
matter
that
Mr.
Pergens
his
Agreement
was
a
good
Agreement
,
and
not
to
be
avoyded
;
more
especially
for
that
Jonas
Abeels
after
his
Insinuations
and
Arrests
made
,
was
contented
to
accept
of
the
Eighty
five
thousand
Gilders
,
having
onely
jus
ad
rem
and
not
jus
in
re
;
and
for
that
the
Company
could
not
have
any
recourse
to
Mr.
Pergens
for
that
Money
until
the
right
was
first
determined
in
Law
,
Mr.
Pergens
having
also
had
the
same
recommendation
by
the
Kings
Letters
;
they
therefore
desired
to
be
excused
from
giving
any
further
satisfaction
therein
.
The
Answers
following
were
given
at
the
same
Conference
held
at
Sir
George
Downings
House
in
the
Hague
.
UNder
submission
it
's
conceived
that
the
Interessed
are
before
the
King
of
Great
Britain's
Minister
of
State
,
and
the
Deputies
of
the
States
General
,
in
an
amicable
way
of
Conferences
,
whereby
the
matters
in
debate
are
to
be
considered
politically
:
as
to
the
Objections
raised
against
their
right
,
they
are
most
of
them
out
of
the
Case
,
and
the
rest
have
been
sufficiently
answered
by
Sir
George
Downing
in
his
Replies
to
the
States
Answers
upon
his
Memorials
:
The
Interessed
did
not
doubt
in
the
least
,
but
that
the
East-India
Company
had
been
abundantly
satisfied
with
the
15
Article
of
the
Treaty
,
wherein
all
Actions
,
Injuries
,
and
Pretensions
of
the
English
are
abolished
and
extinguished
(
hoc
excepto
,
quod
scilicet
qui
se
jacturam
passos
dicunt
in
duabus
navibus
,
videlicet
Bona
Esperanza
,
&
Bona
Adventura
poterunt
litem
inceptam
prosequi
.
)
Upon
the
Petition
(
of
the
Interessed
)
to
the
King
,
setting
forth
the
Case
and
their
Damages
,
His
Majesty
was
pleased
to
recommend
the
same
to
the
States
General
,
requiring
speedy
satisfaction
and
reparation
,
according
to
the
Laws
of
common
Amity
and
Alliance
held
between
the
King
and
the
States
.
And
indeed
,
when
His
Majesty
considered
the
true
state
of
the
businesse
,
in
its
own
nature
and
circumstances
,
it
could
not
in
honour
be
otherwise
concluded
;
yet
I
shall
speak
somthing
to
the
objections
in
point
of
Law
.
Bracton
says
that
an
Action
nihil
aliud
est
quam
jus
prosequendi
in
Judicio
;
Justinian
says
the
same
,
and
makes
the
distinction
of
two
sorts
,
actiones
reales
&
actiones
personales
;
Bracton
makes
a
threefold
distinction
of
Actions
;
Real
,
personal
,
and
mix'd
,
actio
realis
in
the
largest
sense
is
to
be
understood
for
any
thing
wherein
a
man
hath
a
property
,
and
may
require
it
in
his
own
name
,
and
not
in
another
mans
;
actio
personalis
,
is
that
which
belongs
to
a
man
by
force
of
any
Contract
or
Offence
,
&c.
for
which
he
may
require
satisfaction
by
Law
from
the
person
offending
;
actio
mixta
,
is
that
where
a
man
hath
not
only
remedy
for
the
thing
,
but
for
damages
against
the
person
,
unjustly
taking
or
detaining
the
same
:
there
is
jus
quaerendi
,
and
jus
petendi
,
there
are
actiones
Criminales
,
and
actiones
Civiles
;
the
former
do
properly
appertain
to
the
King
,
propter
pacem
Regis
&
communem
utilitatem
,
and
when
Robberies
,
Murthers
,
and
Piracies
are
committed
upon
the
Kings
Subjects
,
against
Treaties
of
Amity
,
Confederacies
,
and
Alliances
,
and
upon
such
Ships
as
carried
the
Kings
own
Colours
,
His
Commission
for
Trade
,
and
Signature
in
all
matters
of
Commerce
,
these
are
accounted
Acts
of
Hostility
and
open
defiance
,
and
not
to
be
reconciled
but
in
a
way
of
State
.
Grotius
in
his
Treatise
De
jure
belli
ac
pacis
,
makes
this
Distinction
,
and
says
,
Bellum
non
dicitur
actio
sed
status
,
praelium
autem
dicitur
conflictus
ipse
bellorum
.
As
to
the
Objection
concerning
Cromwell's
Treaties
,
it
needs
no
other
Answer
but
this
,
That
as
the
King
is
not
obliged
to
any
thing
in
them
,
so
he
hath
not
admitted
any
thing
of
them
to
bar
our
extraordinary
remedy
against
the
Company
,
for
the
violent
injuries
and
damages
sustained
;
and
it
would
be
a
forced
interpretation
,
nay
,
a
great
piece
of
Nonsence
,
put
upon
the
King
and
His
Commissioners
,
to
imagine
in
the
least
that
by
the
words
poterunt
litem
inceptam
prosequi
(
should
be
construed
)
that
the
Interessed
might
be
able
to
prosecute
the
Suit
begun
at
Amsterdam
,
which
was
lawful
in
the
ordinary
way
notwithstanding
the
Treaty
,
if
any
such
Suit
had
been
there
begun
by
them
;
but
qui
passos
dicunt
,
begun
no
Suit
at
Amsterdam
,
their
lis
incepta
was
at
Whitehall
upon
their
Petition
to
His
Majesty
,
and
prosecuted
at
the
Hague
by
His
Majesties
Command
,
and
several
Orders
from
His
Majesties
most
Honourable
Privy
Councel
.
On
the
contrary
,
in
the
time
of
the
Treaty
,
it
was
urged
by
the
States
Embassadors
,
that
the
States
had
sent
instructions
for
a
Clause
to
be
inserted
,
that
the
Interessed
should
be
at
liberty
to
prosecute
their
right
before
the
Eschevins
at
Amsterdam
,
and
intreated
the
Kings
Commissioners
,
that
it
might
be
so
inserted
into
the
15
Article
of
the
Treaty
,
which
was
utterly
refused
by
the
King
,
and
in
conclusion
agreed
upon
,
that
the
interessed
should
not
be
left
to
the
ordinary
course
of
Justice
in
Holland
,
but
proceed
in
the
way
they
had
begun
,
upon
their
Petition
,
and
his
Majesties
recommendation
to
the
States
General
at
the
Hague
.
Whereupon
the
words
Poterunt
litem
inceptam
prosequi
,
were
inserted
and
thought
sufficient
to
imply
the
sense
of
the
agreement
and
conclusion
,
as
appears
by
the
Embassadors
Letter
sent
from
Chelsey
with
the
Treaty
Sept.
5/15
1662.
I
only
mention
these
by
the
way
,
since
Mr.
Vandam
was
pleased
to
make
those
exceptions
to
the
words
in
the
Treaty
,
and
the
Pensionaris
made
the
other
exception
as
to
Cromwell's
Treaty
of
1654.
After
Mr.
Courten
had
once
divested
himself
of
his
Property
in
the
Ships
,
his
Stock
in
India
,
and
the
product
of
it
(
as
nothing
is
more
usual
amongst
Merchants
,
then
to
sell
their
Shipping
at
Sea
,
Adventures
abroad
,
and
Actions
in
joint
stocks
of
Companies
)
all
posterior
Acts
to
Pergens
were
void
,
and
both
the
Company
and
Pergens
in
this
Case
,
were
left
without
any
manner
of
excuse
,
for
that
the
Transports
to
Sir
Edward
Littleton
and
Sir
Paul
Pindar
were
insinuated
to
them
long
before
the
pretended
agreement
.
The
Case
that
Pentionaris
de
Wit
put
concerning
res
Mobilis
(
does
not
quadrate
with
ours
)
where
he
says
that
Abraham
the
Shoomaker
sold
a
pair
of
Shooes
to
Adrian
van
Hoffe
for
a
pattacone
who
left
them
in
the
Shoomakers
custody
until
he
called
again
;
in
the
mean
time
Abraham's
Servant
or
himself
,
sold
the
Shoos
to
Jacob
the
Jew
for
a
Duccatone
,
who
took
them
away
and
had
the
property
by
Manuduction
or
Delivery
;
That
Adrian
had
only
his
remedy
against
Abraham
for
the
price
,
and
not
against
Jacob
for
the
Shooes
:
It
's
granted
,
that
Shops
,
and
Fairs
,
are
Markets
overt
,
and
although
goods
were
stolen
and
sold
there
,
even
then
the
property
is
changed
;
yet
in
those
Cases
if
it
be
found
there
was
any
Combination
between
the
parties
,
there
is
relief
to
be
had
against
them
;
It
's
frequent
in
England
,
that
both
Buyers
and
Sellers
of
stolen
goods
,
where
they
were
sold
at
an
undervalue
,
have
suffered
as
Accessaries
when
the
Principals
have
made
their
escape
;
pardon
the
meanesse
of
the
expression
,
I
could
not
find
any
thing
that
comes
nearer
to
our
point
.
The
like
is
if
a
man
voucheth
a
Horse
in
Smithfield
.
The
Company
knew
that
Mr.
Courten
was
not
qualified
to
deal
with
Pergens
,
and
consequently
that
Mr.
Pergens
was
not
qualified
to
deal
with
the
Company
,
so
the
Compact
between
them
was
a
meer
Collusion
.
As
to
Sir
Edward
Littleton
,
his
Damages
and
Payments
for
Mr.
Courten
,
the
several
Records
in
His
Majesties
Courts
will
sufficiently
declare
to
the
World
what
they
are
;
but
to
give
the
States
General
and
the
East-India
Company
further
satisfaction
therein
,
they
shall
receive
Copies
of
the
said
Records
,
and
also
the
opinions
of
the
most
learned
Common
Lawyers
of
England
,
and
Professors
of
the
Civil
Law
there
;
that
all
Contracts
,
Obligations
,
and
Transports
made
in
England
,
are
to
be
adjudged
according
to
the
Laws
thereof
.
Mens

COUNTRYMEN
,
IT
was
given
for
a
general
rule
by
William
of
Nassau
,
who
was
both
an
Eminent
Soldier
and
Statesman
,
That
the
Netherlanders
should
keep
a
fair
Correspondence
with
France
,
do
justice
to
all
Strangers
,
and
(
in
all
Revolutions
of
time
)
keep
a
firm
and
inviolable
Peace
with
England
;
and
that
when
they
failed
in
either
of
those
Principles
their
foundation
would
be
shaken
,
and
their
Government
in
danger
of
Subversion
.
To
publish
their
Forgetfulness
or
Ingratitude
to
those
that
have
spent
their
Youth
and
Fortunes
to
render
them
considerable
in
the
World
,
is
not
to
my
purpose
;
or
to
tell
them
when
they
were
made
a
Free
State
at
Munster
,
created
both
High
and
Mighty
by
the
conduct
of
a
Prince
to
their
Generall
,
they
thought
it
time
then
to
make
Reformadoes
of
their
Officers
,
put
them
to
Pensions
and
maintain
their
Low
Countries
without
a
Commander
in
chief
,
is
not
my
designe
:
No
,
my
business
to
those
High
and
Mighty
Lords
,
is
for
justice
against
the
East-India
Company
of
the
Netherlands
,
in
a
politick
way
of
Proceeding
;
The
dispute
concerns
Spoyls
and
Robberies
done
upon
the
English
in
times
of
Peace
,
(
and
that
for
some
Reasons
the
Company
reserve
to
themselves
:
)
And
the
King
for
either
Reasons
hath
been
pleased
to
require
just
reparation
in
this
way
of
State
,
and
to
set
a
greater
value
upon
the
Lives
and
Fortunes
of
His
Subjects
,
then
the
Hollanders
are
willing
to
admit
.
This
is
the
Substance
of
the
Ensuing
Narrative
,
which
when
you
have
weighed
from
what
hath
been
set
forth
in
the
foregoing
part
of
this
Treatise
,
and
shall
consider
all
which
follows
,
I
question
not
but
you
may
as
much
wonder
at
the
strange
confidence
of
some
persons
in
Holland
,
as
at
the
patient
forbearance
of
others
interessed
in
England
.
Pardon
my
Freedome
,
I
find
liberty
in
the
Low
Countries
,
consists
only
in
speaking
their
minds
and
parting
with
their
money
;
Yet
I
will
not
injure
my
Cause
with
Satyrical
Expressions
,
nor
blame
the
Seven
United
Provinces
for
a
few
unworthy
Hollanders
;
although
I
must
make
a
little
digression
and
tell
them
that
Cowards
cannot
be
honest
,
and
covetous
men
dare
not
dye
:
It
is
an
observation
in
nature
,
that
those
Creatures
which
live
upon
Herbs
and
Roots
,
are
more
fearful
then
those
which
eat
flesh
;
and
that
where
the
Elements
are
bad
,
the
habit
of
the
mind
follows
the
temperature
of
the
body
:
But
I
descant
not
.
The
East-India
Company
of
the
Netherlands
,
or
some
of
their
Agents
in
Amsterdam
,
published
the
States
Answers
with
several
documents
,
&
intituled
the
Pamphlet
,
A
Refutation
of
the
Kings
Letters
and
Memorials
of
Sr.
George
Downing
.
The
West-India
Company
took
the
same
liberty
,
and
published
another
Pamphlet
as
rude
in
the
manner
,
as
false
in
the
matter
,
and
reported
that
the
English
had
spoiled
their
Trade
upon
the
Coast
of
Guiny
,
and
that
the
Royal
Company
had
damnified
them
80000
l.
per
annum
,
by
invading
their
Rights
and
Priviledges
.
It
's
frequent
amongst
Hollanders
,
upon
any
pretence
of
Damages
,
to
demand
both
Life
and
Goods
,
and
take
a
Dollar
:
But
it
's
dishonourable
for
an
Englishman
to
demand
any
thing
he
cannot
justifie
,
or
take
any
thing
without
a
good
reason
for
it
.
It
's
possible
I
may
meet
with
some
Englishmen
in
the
United
Provinces
,
that
can
forget
their
King
and
Country
,
and
others
of
our
Countrymen
that
study
more
the
advantage
of
the
Hollanders
then
the
benefit
of
themselves
and
the
English
Interest
;
That
man
must
be
of
a
strange
Constitution
,
&
most
depraved
in
his
Judgement
,
that
had
rather
pay
a
Gilder
to
the
States
,
then
a
Stiver
to
his
Soveraign
Prince
.
I
shall
not
hold
you
any
longer
in
Discourse
,
but
come
to
the
business
in
hand
;
I
desire
to
be
tryed
by
a
Jury
of
Englishmen
,
that
goes
according
to
the
Evidences
before
them
without
favor
or
affection
,
though
the
States
have
in
behalf
of
the
Company
used
all
manner
of
shifts
and
evasions
:
Yet
if
I
be
found
guilty
of
impudence
or
impertinency
,
I
will
undergo
their
Censure
and
suffer
any
punishment
;
On
the
contrary
,
I
shall
beg
that
favour
of
you
,
if
the
Cause
goes
with
me
,
that
you
will
undeceive
the
Boors
&
Fishermen
in
the
Low
Countries
,
and
tell
them
I
have
endevoured
to
preserve
a
good
Intelligence
between
the
King
Our
Soveraign
and
the
States
General
,
upon
the
Foundations
of
Justice
and
Honour
.
I
am
your
Friend
and
Countryman

CAREVV

Extract
from
the
Register
of
Resolutions
of
the
Ho:
Mo:
Lords
,
the
States
General
of
the
United
Provinces
.
May
10.
1662.
REport
was
made
again
by
the
Sieur
Braechele
&
others
of
their
Ho:
Mo
:
deputed
,
touching
the
Proceedings
in
England
,
and
having
also
,
according
to
their
Ho:
Mo
:
Resolution
of
the
1.
Instant
,
examined
certain
Letters
and
Papers
written
and
sent
over
by
the
Embassadors
of
this
State
,
at
present
in
England
;
which
said
Writings
were
dated
at
Chelsey
on
the
28.
of
April
last
,
and
addressed
to
the
Greffier
Ruysch
;
Likewise
caused
to
be
read
the
same
time
,
a
certain
Memorial
,
the
which
was
from
word
to
word
as
followeth
;
1.
The
Commissioners
shall
only
be
for
matters
past
,
and
not
for
any
thing
as
shall
happen
after
the
date
of
the
Treaty
made
.
2.
That
their
Commission
concerning
what
passed
as
aforesaid
,
shall
not
comprehend
any
general
terms
,
but
shall
be
expresly
limited
to
a
List
which
shall
be
made
,
and
that
they
shall
not
be
to
take
cognisance
of
any
other
matters
whatsoever
.
3.
And
for
the
agreeing
to
the
like
List
,
they
shall
form
one
of
each
side
,
and
exchange
the
said
to
be
considered
on
reciprocally
,
and
in
case
any
specification
be
found
in
the
said
,
of
matters
known
at
Londonbefore
the
20
of
January
1659.
in
regard
of
the
pretences
of
the
English
,
according
to
the
Treaty
of
the
6
of
February
1659.
and
at
the
same
time
known
at
the
Hague
,
in
regard
of
the
pretences
of
those
of
the
United
Provinces
,
or
of
any
other
Action
by
which
the
nature
of
the
case
will
shew
it
not
fitting
to
be
decided
in
the
like
manner
,
that
then
the
said
may
be
first
taken
out
of
the
said
List.
4.
This
List
being
approved
of
by
the
one
and
the
other
,
four
months
time
shall
be
Limited
,
in
which
they
shall
endevour
(
His
Majesties
Minister
at
the
Hague
on
the
one
side
,
and
their
Ho:
Mo
:
deputed
on
the
other
)
by
friendly
Conferences
to
decide
all
matters
comprehended
in
the
said
List
,
being
such
as
are
happened
in
Europe
;
and
for
such
as
are
happened
out
of
Europe
,
eight
months
shall
be
limited
,
and
the
pretendents
,
or
such
authorized
by
them
,
shall
be
oblieged
to
appear
at
the
Hague
the
first
day
of
the
4
months
and
8
months
abovesaid
.
5.
And
in
case
the
4
and
8
months
may
be
expired
,
in
which
the
pretendents
,
or
such
authorized
by
them
,
had
continued
at
the
Hague
,
indevouring
to
decide
such
their
pretences
happened
in
Europe
,
and
yet
not
come
to
any
agreement
,
that
then
the
said
pretences
shall
be
brought
before
Commissioners
,
and
to
be
decided
by
them
,
as
likewise
after
the
expiration
of
8
months
in
regard
of
matters
happened
out
of
Europe
,
and
that
after
expiration
of
the
4
months
and
8
months
,
there
might
remain
any
pretences
as
yet
in
difference
happened
in
Europe
,
the
said
Commissioners
shall
assemble
in
the
City
of
London
,
and
their
number
shall
be
four
of
each
side
,
and
be
fully
and
wholly
authorized
even
to
what
it
was
in
the
Year
1654.
Whereupon
being
deliberated
,
it
is
approved
that
the
said
Memorial
be
sent
to
the
Embassadors
of
this
State
at
present
at
London
,
to
serve
them
for
Instruction
,
and
to
use
their
endevours
that
the
said
Treaty
may
be
concluded
conformable
thereto
;
and
withal
to
make
His
Majesty
the
King
of
Great
Britain
sensible
,
and
his
Ministers
likewise
,
that
their
Ho:
Mo
:
judge
that
His
said
Majesty
would
assuredly
bring
himself
into
great
inconveniencies
,
in
case
that
the
Terminus
a
quo
should
be
as
from
the
year
1654.
as
for
matters
out
of
the
East-Indies
,
for
that
thereby
His
Majesty
would
be
engaged
to
make
reparation
for
such
Violences
and
Injuries
done
by
His
Usurpers
Commissions
and
Authority
,
between
the
years
1654.
and
1659.
and
again
others
also
which
had
unjust
pretences
in
the
said
years
,
would
by
no
means
be
debarred
by
the
like
Treaty
,
for
entring
their
Actions
before
the
Judges
,
but
have
free
Liberty
of
Prosecution
and
demanding
reparation
;
and
for
what
happened
in
the
late
conference
touching
that
in
the
Fourth
Article
,
concerning
the
words
ubi
personae
contravenientes
fuerint
,
&
contra
quam
peccatum
est
,
there
shall
be
written
to
the
Embassadors
,
that
their
Ho:
Mo:
cannot
imagine
wherefore
that
sustained
by
the
English
in
that
Subject
should
be
different
to
the
intention
of
their
Ho:
Mo:
for
that
they
cannot
believe
that
the
said
sustained
by
them
,
can
be
of
that
substance
to
what
specified
in
the
Fourth
Article
touching
the
Confiscations
,
and
,
that
they
must
be
for
the
benefit
of
their
State
;
And
in
case
any
such
like
Goods
were
confiscable
by
the
said
Article
,
and
that
they
are
not
taken
by
the
Officers
of
their
State
at
Sea
,
or
otherwise
,
and
brought
by
them
to
their
State
,
that
then
the
Tryal
and
Sentence
must
be
at
the
place
of
their
habitations
.
On
the
other
side
their
Ho:
Mo:

The
Translation
of
the
aforesaid
Letter
out

the
French
Original

June

1662.
SIR
,
THE
Continuance
of
those
Disorders
that
commenced
under
the
Usurpers
of
Your
Crown
,
which
it
was
not
in
the
power
of
men
to
hinder
,
at
the
Entrance
of
Your
Establishment
on
the
Throne
of
Your
Ancestors
,
hath
often
obliged
us
to
make
our
Complaints
to
Your
Majesty
;
but
we
now
see
our selves
necessitated
to
complain
(
as
we
do
at
present
)
of
a
proceeding
so
extraordinary
,
that
to
this
time
there
have
been
thereof
no
Examples
,
not
only
in
those
Estates
which
make
profession
of
living
together
in
good
Correspondence
,
but
even
in
those
,
who
understand
one
another
but
by
the
indifferent
offices
of
Civility
and
Humanity
.
The
Embassadors
of
this
State
who
are
with
Your
Majesties
Person
,
give
us
advise
by
their
last
Letters
,
that
the
Judges
of
the
Admiralty
of
London
have
permitted
to
the
Agent
of
the
Cardinal
of
Hassia
,
to
seize
in
the
Name
of
the
Grand
Master
of
Maltha
,
all
those
Merchant
Ships
as
do
belong
to
the
Inhabitants
of
these
Provinces
,
and
that
in
persuance
of
this
permission
he
hath
effectively
caused
to
be
seized
and
arrested
eight
Vessells
which
were
there
laden
with
Merchandizes
,
and
this
for
satisfaction
of
those
Losses
which
those
of
the
Order
pretend
to
have
suffered
,
and
yet
to
suffer
,
by
reason
of
not
enjoying
those
Commanderies
situate
within
the
Extent
of
these
United
Provinces
,
and
which
have
heretofore
appertained
to
the
Order
.
This
Affair
SIR
,
hath
been
often
deliberated
in
our
Assembly
,
we
have
also
nominated
Deputies
of
our
Body
to
examine
the
Merits
,
and
upon
their
report
we
were
about
to
take
a
Resolution
which
should
make
all
Europe
to
understand
the
Love
which
we
have
of
Justice
;
but
when
we
understood
those
irregular
,
violent
,
and
injurious
proceedings
of
that
State
,
and
of
the
Admiralty
of
London
,
we
were
surprized
in
this
,
that
any
one
should
labour
to
lose
by
precipitancy
that
which
his
Masters
believe
they
can
pretend
to
,
and
we
were
extremely
astonished
to
see
the
Admiralty
of
London
,
which
ought
to
be
composed
of
grave
,
prudent
,
and
eminent
persons
,
managed
as
it
were
,
to
the
Violation
of
the
Rights
of
Nations
,
and
to
attempts
upon
the
Soveraignty
of
their
King
,
in
His
Sight
and
in
His
Presence
,
and
in
an
Occurrence
,
which
your
Majesty
neither
would
nor
could
act
in
,
without
entrenching
on
the
right
of
Nations
.
The
Emperour
and
the
Kings
of
France
and
Spain
,
who
as
Princes
acknowledging
the
Roman
Church
,
might
have
particular
Considerations
for
the
Goods
of
this
nature
,
have
recommended
to
us
this
Affair
with
pressing
ardency
,
but
not
one
of
them
hath
been
advised
to
threaten
this
Estate
with
Reprizalls
,
so
far
from
suffering
,
that
a
subordinate
Jurisdiction
,
should
permit
an
effectual
Seizure
of
the
Vessels
,
Goods
and
merchandizes
of
those
who
owe
nothing
to
the
Order
,
and
against
which
the
person
seizing
hath
neither
right
nor
pretension
;
they
know
that
these
Provisions
differ
from
Reprizals
but
in
name
,
and
that
none
but
Soveraigns
can
grant
them
to
their
Subjects
,
to
the
exclusion
of
Strangers
and
that
onely
in
case
of
a
manifest
denial
of
Justice
:
on
the
contrary
the
Admiralty
Usurps
a
Right
which
is
reserved
solely
to
your
Majesty
,
in
favour
of
those
,
who
have
scarce
any
Commerce
at
all
with
your
Subjects
,
and
who
know
not
how
to
say
,
that
we
have
made
the
least
refusal
to
doe
them
Justice
.
So
that
we
are
wholly
perswaded
,
(
inasmuch
as
some
of
your
principal
Ministers
have
protested
,
that
they
had
no
knowledge
of
the
demand
of
the
Agent
of
the
Cardinal
of
Hassia
,
and
of
that
provision
agreed
by
the
Admiralty
of
London
)
that
Your
Majesty
will
not
onely
disavow
their
proceedings
,
but
will
resent
also
this
attempt
committed
against
Your
Authority
,
and
the
Injustice
done
to
those
,
who
have
done
all
they
can
to
merit
the
Honour
of
Your
Affection
,
and
who
have
most
expresse
assurances
thereof
from
Your
Majesties
own
Royal
mouth
;
so
that
we
could
willingly
dispence
with
giving
You
the
trouble
of
this
Importunity
,
from
the
beleif
we
have
of
Your
Majesties
preventing
thereof
by
taking
the
Seizure
off
these
Vessels
,
but
we
find
this
entreprise
,
both
of
the
one
and
the
other
side
so
important
and
of
so
troublesome
a
consequence
,
that
we
have
been
willing
most
expresly
to
order
our
Ambassadors
to
present
and
lay
it
before
Your
Majesty
in
such
efficacious
words
,
as
may
obtain
reparation
of
the
injury
and
violence
which
hath
been
done
us
,
and
to
hinder
any
further
molestation
in
this
manner
hereafter
to
be
done
to
our
Subjects
,
who
upon
account
of
the
good
understanding
which
is
between
Your
Majesty
and
this
Republique
,
do
Traffique
within
your
three
Kingdoms
;
and
this
the
rather
,
because
those
of
whom
we
do
complain
,
have
not
deserved
Your
Friendship
nor
Protection
.
And
so
we
remit
You
to
what
Our
Ambassadors
shall
say
to
You
aswell
upon
this
Subject
as
upon
other
affairs
which
they
have
to
negotiate
with
Your
Majesty
.
We
shall
pray
to
God

,

The
Translation
of
the
aforesaid
Letter
out
of
the
French
Original
.
June
27.
1662.
SIR
,
WEE
have
delayed
to
answer
the
Letter
which
Your
Majesty
did
the
Honour
to
Write
to
us
of
the
12.
September
of
the
last
year
,
because
we
could
not
do
it
pertinently
,
being
not
fully
informed
of
the
State
of
that
affair
which
is
the
Subject
thereof
.
Captain
Enno
Doedesson
Star
of
whom
it
complains
,
did
serve
then
,
as
now
at
present
,
in
the
Fleet
commanded
by
Vice-Admiral
Ruyter
in
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
and
it
was
necessary
the
matter
should
be
cleared
by
Himself
in
all
those
particulars
,
which
might
have
passed
between
him
and
Captain
Edward
Spragg
,
to
the
end
we
might
be
able
rightly
to
judge
of
it
,
and
to
clear
to
Your
Majesty
the
sincerity
of
our
Intentions
.
We
know
not
whether
the
said
Captain
Spragg
had
knowledge
of
the
distance
of
Enno
Doedesson
,
and
if
he
served
not
himself
of
his
absence
to
give
Your
Majesty
impressions
contrary
unto
a
Truth
,
of
which
he
ought
to
be
convinced
in
his
Conscience
.
He
knows
,
and
we
have
put
the
proofs
into
the
hands
of
Sir
George
Downing
,
Your
Envoy
Extraordinary
with
us
,
in
what
manner
he
scoured
the
Seas
,
particularly
in
the
year
1659.
by
Pyrating
upon
all
sorts
of
Nations
indifferently
after
the
Example
of
many
other
Biscain
Pyrates
:
The
Outrages
committed
about
that
time
and
some
years
afore
by
those
Pyrats
,
&
the
discommodities
,
the
commerce
of
the
Inhabitants
of
these
Provinces
received
thereby
,
obliged
us
in
the
year
1658.
to
order
by
a
Resolution
General
all
our
Captains
and
Sea
Officers
to
Treat
all
those
Biscain
Ships
of
War
,
without
any
distinction
as
Pyrates
,
and
to
attaque
them
wheresoever
they
met
them
at
Sea
,
and
carry
them
away
.
It
was
by
vertue
of
this
Order
that
Captain
Spragg
was
taken
,
but
especially
for
being
known
by
three
Máriners
vvhich
were
then
aboard
the
said
Enno
Doedesson
,
to
have
Pyrated
and
to
have
taken
with
the
same
Ship
Charles
then
named
Sr.
Carlos
,
among
others
,
a
Ship
named
the
Moor
,
belonging
with
the
greatest
part
of
its
lading
which
(
consisted
in
Wines
of
Canary
,
and
other
Merchandizes
)
to
the
Inhabitants
of
Amsterdam
and
Middleburgh
in
Zeland
.
This
ship
SIR
,
was
taken
by
the
said
Captain
Spragg
and
brought
to
the
Haven
of
St.
Sebastian
in
Biscay
in
the
Moneth
of
March
1659.
of
which
the
Owners
and
Laders
having
notice
,
they
demanded
Restitution
,
and
found
Justice
enough
at
the
Court
of
Madrid
to
obtain
it
with
expences
,
damages
,
and
Interest
,
by
an
Authentique
Decree
of
the
King
of
Spain
;
but
the
said
Captain
Spraegh
and
his
Interessed
,
in
stead
of
delivering
her
,
had
the
Confidence
further
to
Arrest
the
said
Ship
,
and
to
extort
by
that
means
at
the
end
of
five
Moneths
,
of
the
Master
,
and
of
those
which
prosecuted
the
processe
for
the
Interessed
,
the
sum
of
Seven
thousand
double
royals
of
Silver
,
and
the
moyety
of
the
proceed
of
Thirty
Pipes
of
Canary
,
although
of
250.
Pipes
with
which
the
said
Ship
was
laden
,
there
were
but
71
restored
with
the
Vessel
:
so
that
although
the
said
Captain
Spragg
had
not
been
of
the
Number
of
those
Rovers
,
or
rather
Biscain
Pyrates
against
whom
we
had
taken
that
Resolution
Generall
,
and
that
Captain
Enno
Doedesson
,
had
not
been
obliged
to
execute
it
in
his
relation
to
that
quality
,
he
ought
neverthelesse
,
to
take
and
carry
him
away
,
because
of
that
violence
done
to
the
said
Ship
the
Moor
,
which
was
declared
by
a
Decree
of
the
King
of
Spain
to
belong
,
as
it
did
in
truth
,
to
the
Inhabitants
of
this
Province
,
unlesse
he
would
have
failed
in
his
Oath
taken
to
this
State
.
So
far
are
we
from
blaming
his
proceedings
,
that
we
fear
not
to
tell
your
Majesty
,
that
we
are
sorry
of
that
accident
which
happened
to
the
said
Ship
Charles
,
namely
one
of
those
Mariners
taken
within
the
same
Ship
being
a
Cooper
,
bored
a
hole
therein
,
and
exposed
the
Vessel
to
so
manifest
danger
of
perishing
,
that
Captain
Wildschut
,
to
whom
Enno
Doedesson
had
committed
the
Conduct
of
her
to
bring
her
hither
,
was
constrained
to
abandon
her
,
which
was
the
means
also
of
the
others
Escape
,
by
which
he
withdrew
himself
from
the
pains
of
a
just
sentence
which
should
have
been
pronounced
against
his
Crimes
.
We
have
so
well
represented
and
proved
this
truth
to
Your
Envoy
Extraordinary
,
whom
we
have
prayed
to
acquaint
Your
Majesty
therewith
,
that
we
will
not
importune
You
here
,
with
an
ampler
and
longer
account
of
this
affair
,
onely
we
find
our selves
obliged
to
say
,
that
as
our
manner
hath
alwayes
been
to
addresse
Our selves
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
to
his
Subjects
,
for
reparation
of
those
violences
,
losses
,
and
damages
done
to
the
Inhabitants
of
these
Provinces
,
and
by
them
sustained
,
because
those
Rovers
came
forth
of
the
Ports
of
Spain
;
so
we
think
it
just
for
us
to
addresse
our selves
to
Your
Majesty
at
present
,
because
Captain
Spragg
is
in
Your
Service
,
and
for
that
he
useth
your
Name
in
the
prosecution
of
his
unjust
pretences
,
to
demand
of
You
Justice
against
him
,
and
that
he
be
compelled
by
all
just
and
reasonable
wayes
,
not
onely
to
restore
the
abovesaid
Seven
thousand
double
royals
,
and
the
value
of
the
Wines
and
other
Merchandizes
which
he
hath
taken
and
alienated
,
but
also
other
things
which
he
found
and
took
out
of
the
Chest
of
the
Master
of
the
ship
Moor
,
whereof
Your
Envoy
Extraordinary
hath
the
number
and
value
.
We
have
great
cause
to
hope
for
Your
equity
herein
,
and
particularly
that
You
will
not
suffer
that
for
the
future
any
persons
shall
make
use
of
Your
Name
and
Authority
upon
matters
so
il-grounded
and
yet
hardly
laboured
,
to
the
taxing
,
upon
such
frivolous
occasions
our
proceedings
,
and
to
blame
our
Conduct
even
in
such
termes
,
which
are
fit
only
for
those
who
openly
deny
Justice
,
but
that
You
will
have
as
much
consideration
for
Your
good
Friends
and
next
Neighbours
,
as
You
have
goodnesse
towards
Your
Subjects
,
whose
carriage
we
condemn
not
upon
a
single
report
of
a
third
person
,
and
without
giving
them
space
to
reply
.
This
is
it
which
we
have
beleived
ought
to
be
said
by
us
on
the
Subject
of
the
Letter
of
Your
Majesty
,
attending
while
the
Informations
are
finished
,
which
we
cause
to
be
made
of
other
violences
,
extortions
,
and
outrages
done
by
the
said
Captain
Spragg
to
the
Inhabitants
of
this
Countrey
,
and
in
the
mean
time
we
shall
pray
to
God
SIR
,
&c
,
The
Reply
of
Sir
GEORGE
DOVVNING
,
Envoy
Extraordinary
of
His
MAJESTY
of
GREAT
BRITAIN
,
&c.
Delivered
the
13.
of
July
1662.
upon
the
Answer
of
the
STATES
GENERAL
of
the
United
Provinces
,
to
his
Memorial
concerning
the
Ship
CHARLES
.
THE
under-written
Envoy
Extraordinary
of
His
most
sacred
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
,
&c.
having
received
the
Answer
of
their
Lordships
,
the
Estates
General
of
the
United
Provinces
of
the
27.
of
June
last
,
to
the
Letter
of
the
King
his
Master
,
and
to
his
several
Memorials
and
complaints
,
concerning
the
Ship
Charles
,
finds
that
their
Lordships
do
not
deny
the
matter
of
fact
complained
off
,
but
offer
in
justification
of
what
was
done
by
Doedessen
Star
,
that
Captain
Spragg
Commander
of
the
said
Ship
Charles
,
was
one
of
the
famous
Pirates
of
Biscay
,
and
in
particular
,
that
he
had
in
the
Year
1659.
taken
a
certain
Ship
of
this
Country
,
called
the
Moor
,
laden
with
250.
Pipes
of
Canary
wine
,
the
whole
,
or
at
least
the
greater
part
thereof
belonging
to
the
Merchants
of
these
Provinces
,
and
carried
her
to
St.
Sebastians
in
Spain
,
and
that
upon
this
ground
the
said
Doedessen
Star
had
taken
her
in
persuance
of
a
certain
Resolution
of
this
State
,
requiring
all
Captaines
of
their
Ships
of
war
to
seize
all
private
men
of
war
of
Biscay
,
as
troublers
of
the
freedome
of
commerce
and
traffique
by
Sea
.
And
this
being
all
that
is
alledged
by
their
Lordships
;
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
doth
very
much
wonder
,
that
they
should
in
their
said
answer
charge
the
said
Spragg
of
impudence
in
applying
to
the
King
his
Master
,
and
from
him
to
their
Lordships
for
Iustice
,
and
much
more
that
they
should
take
upon
them
the
patronage
of
this
action
of
Doedesson
Star's
and
make
it
their
own
,
this
being
no
more
in
effect
,
than
what
was
alledged
in
the
Letter
from
the
Admiralty
of
Amsterdam
to
them
,
of
the
1.
of
November
last
,
and
communicated
about
that
time
to
him
,
and
consequently
he
doth
not
see
how
,
or
upon
what
account
their
Lordships
,
or
he
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
,
should
be
better
satisfied
with
this
Answer
,
than
with
the
said
Letter
.
Captain
Spragg
was
no
more
a
Pirate
than
Doedesson
Star
,
he
had
a
Lawful
Commission
from
the
King
his
Master
,
whose
native
Subject
he
was
,
to
seize
and
take
all
Ships
and
Merchandises
belonging
to
any
of
His
Subjects
then
in
Rebellion
against
Him
;
and
in
persuance
thereof
,
meeting
with
the
aforesaid
Ship
,
and
finding
her
to
be
come
from
the
Canaries
,
19.
parts
of
20.
of
the
Wine
of
the
growth
of
which
place
are
constantly
bought
by
the
Subjects
of
His
Majesty
,
and
carried
into
His
Kingdoms
,
and
there
spent
;
and
His
said
Subjects
,
being
at
that
time
in
War
with
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
upon
that
account
in
that
very
year
making
use
,
in
a
manner
,
wholly
of
the
Ships
of
this
Country
for
the
transport
of
the
said
Wines
to
England
,
and
having
other
probable
grounds
,
that
a
great
part
at
least
of
the
Wines
in
that
Ship
,
did
actually
belong
to
the
English
,
he
thereupon
seized
her
,
and
carried
her
into
St.
Sebastian's
;
and
what
was
there
herein
done
contrary
to
right
,
and
not
justifiable
?
Had
this
Country
ever
any
Treaty
Marine
with
any
of
his
Majesties
Predecessors
,
or
had
they
any
such
Treaty
with
the
Usurpers
at
that
time
in
England
,
whereby
to
make
free
Ship
free
goods
;
and
if
not
,
wherein
was
the
default
or
crime
upon
strong
presumptions
and
grounds
for
him
,
who
had
a
Commission
to
take
Ships
and
goods
belonging
to
England
,
to
stop
that
Ship
and
carry
her
into
that
place
?
Had
he
kept
her
at
Sea
,
or
carryed
her
into
any
other
Country
,
and
there
sold
and
disposed
of
her
,
this
had
been
a
default
,
but
the
King
his
Master
,
was
at
that
time
within
the
Dominions
of
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
all
such
private
Men
of
War
as
had
his
Commission
,
had
liberty
to
equippe
,
to
sail
out
of
and
return
into
all
His
Ports
with
their
prizes
;
and
accordingly
the
said
Spragg
sailed
out
of
St.
Sebastian
,
and
returned
in
thither
with
her
,
&
there
,
by
lawful
and
due
process
and
course
in
Law
indevoured
to
make
her
prize
;
and
is
this
Piratry
?
or
shall
upon
this
account
the
said
Spragg
be
taxed
with
impudence
for
demanding
of
his
Ship
and
goods
?
Were
there
not
in
those
dayes
many
Ships
of
this
Country
,
that
were
stopped
upon
the
like
ground
,
of
having
in
them
goods
belonging
to
the
enemies
of
the
English
,
and
yet
those
that
did
it
,
not
accounted
or
called
Pirates
?
and
have
not
both
formerly
and
of
late
several
English
Ships
been
stopped
by
the
Ships
of
this
Country
,
upon
suspition
of
having
in
them
goods
belonging
to
the
enemies
of
this
Country
?
and
what
upon
tryall
have
been
found
so
to
belong
to
their
enemies
,
actually
confiscated
,
and
the
rest
with
the
Ship
restored
?
and
how
is
this
then
a
troubling
of
the
freedom
of
trade
and
commerce
by
Sea
,
when
the
same
thing
and
no
other
,
is
done
to
their
people
.
And
in
this
very
answer
their
Lordships
do
not
affirme
that
the
whole
lading
did
belong
to
the
People
of
this
Country
,
but
as
are
the
words
(
the
whole
,
or
at
least
the
greater
part
)
so
that
notwithstanding
what
as
yet
appears
to
their
Lordships
themselves
)
although
it
is
to
be
supposed
that
the
Merchants
interessed
in
the
said
Ship
put
the
best
side
outmost
)
Captain
Spragg
had
just
grounds
for
the
seizing
of
the
said
Ship
,
and
the
subordinate
Officers
of
Iustice
upon
the
place
were
so
well
satisfied
therewith
,
that
without
a
superiour
command
by
favour
from
the
King
of
Spain
,
he
had
obtained
a
sentence
of
confiscation
of
the
said
Wines
.
And
had
Doedes●n
Star
comported
himself
in
like
manner
,
your
Lordships
had
not
been
troubled
with
this
complaint
,
but
when
he
had
taken
the
Charles
he
forthwith
plundr'd
her
to
the
very
boards
,
yea
took
out
of
her
all
that
was
good
of
her
very
sailes
and
rigging
,
used
the
men
barbarously
and
cruelly
;
and
when
all
was
done
,
she
was
turn'd
going
at
sea
by
Wilshut
one
of
Doedesson
Star's
Captains
,
in
stead
of
bringing
her
into
this
Country
to
a
lawfull
tryall
and
adiudication
,
the
which
he
was
obliged
to
have
done
,
both
by
his
commission
and
his
orders
from
the
Admiralty
of
Asterdam
,
as
appears
by
their
forementioned
Letter
to
their
Lordships
of
the
1.
of
Novemb.
last
,
and
Captain
Spragg
is
so
far
from
understanding
the
not
doing
thereof
to
have
been
any
thing
of
favour
or
good
hay
to
him
(
as
their
Lordships
would
insinuate
in
their
answer
)
as
that
on
the
contrary
he
complains
thereof
in
the
highest
manner
.
And
for
what
is
suggested
,
as
if
Wilshut
his
quitting
of
the
said
Ship
Charles
was
out
of
necessity
upon
the
account
of
her
leakiness
,
this
is
a
most
frivolous
and
groundless
pretext
;
for
Wilshut
was
then
upon
the
Coast
of
France
(
as
is
acknowledged
in
the
said
answer
)
and
so
if
he
had
done
nothing
,
but
what
becomed
an
honest
man
,
he
might
have
carried
her
into
some
Port
of
France
,
to
have
stopped
her
leaks
,
and
then
have
brought
her
to
this
Country
;
but
the
plain
truth
was
this
,
Wilshut's
own
conscience
(
after
some
time
of
consideration
)
accused
him
that
they
had
done
what
they
could
not
justifie
,
neither
in
France
nor
in
this
Country
,
and
upon
that
account
did
not
abandon
her
as
would
be
insinuated
,
but
forced
his
Majesties
Subjects
into
her
,
and
with
menaces
bid
them
begone
with
their
Ship
as
it
was
,
or
else
that
he
would
still
keep
them
in
irons
the
whole
summer
:
and
that
this
was
the
truth
and
bottome
of
the
businesse
,
appears
not
only
by
the
Examinations
taken
in
the
high
Court
of
Admiralty
in
England
,
but
also
by
the
aforesaid
Letter
of
the
Admiralty
of
Amsterdam
,
the
words
whereof
are
these
:
Pourtant

But
suppose
Captain
Spragg
had
done
amiss
,
yet
he
was
a
Subject
to
the
King
of
Great
Britain
,
France
and
Ireland
,
and
the
taking
his
Ship
was
in
the
Channell
,
and
in
the
moneth
of
July
1660.
which
was
about
two
moneths
after
the
return
of
His
most
Sacred
Majesty
to
his
Kingdoms
,
and
when
he
was
in
the
full
and
peaceable
possession
of
them
;
and
was
this
a
justifiable
way
to
begin
by
execution
?
What
injuries
and
violences
have
been
done
to
His
Majesties
Subjects
in
the
East-Indies
by
the
Dutch
East-India
Company
?
Now
many
Piratries
have
of
late
been
committed
by
private
men
of
War
,
and
others
of
this
Country
upon
them
?
and
hath
His
Majesty
begun
by
execution
?
hath
He
granted
an
order
to
seize
the
Fleet
of
this
Country
coming
from
the
East-Indies
,
or
hath
he
declared
all
such
Capers
as
fail
from
hence
,
troublers
of
the
freedome
of
trade
and
commerce
by
Sea
,
and
given
order
to
all
his
men
of
war
every
where
to
take
them
,
as
your
Lordships
say
they
had
done
to
those
that
failed
out
of
Biscay
?
which
yet
he
hath
the
same
reason
to
do
,
they
pirating
continually
upon
His
Subjects
,
(
and
perchance
there
wants
not
complaints
of
the
same
nature
from
other
Christian
Kings
and
Princes
also
against
them
)
or
would
ye
take
it
kindly
,
if
Spragg
being
at
this
time
in
His
Majesties
service
in
the
Streights
should
endevour
to
revenge
himself
upon
Doedesson
Star
,
who
is
also
at
this
time
imployed
in
that
Sea
;
And
yet
if
this
course
be
justifiable
in
their
Lordships
,
it
is
without
doubt
as
justifiable
in
the
King
his
Master
,
and
if
he
should
take
this
course
,
they
would
easily
apprehend
,
what
would
be
the
consequences
thereof
,
nor
it
may
be
would
there
have
needed
so
long
and
tedious
a
solicitation
in
this
case
;
But
His
Majesty
is
pleased
in
the
first
place
,
(
according
to
the
Laws
of
friendship
and
good
neighbourhood
)
to
apply
to
their
Lordships
,
and
if
justice
and
satisfaction
can
be
had
in
a
friendly
way
,
it
is
that
he
most
passionately
desires
;
but
if
not
,
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
must
again
repeat
that
he
will
then
be
justified
before
the
whole
World
,
in
betaking
himself
to
such
further
remedies
as
may
be
capable
to
procure
releif
to
the
said
Spragg
his
most
loyall
and
faithfull
Subject
,
whom
he
cannot
nor
will
not
suffer
to
go
without
reall
satisfaction
;
nor
doth
he
love
to
have
his
Subjects
acccused
of
impudence
,
when
they
only
humbly
addresse
themselves
to
him
for
help
,
and
their
complaints
are
by
him
in
a
friendly
way
transmitted
hither
.
And
the
said
Envoy
Extraordinary
doth
once
more
demand
,
that
satisfaction
and
reparation
be
forthwith
made
for
the
said
Ship
Charles
,
and
so
that
after
the
many
proofes
of
His
Majesties
zeal
for
the
relief
of
the
people
of
this
Country
against
Piratries
of
this
nature
,
he
may
at
last
have
one
instance
of
theirs
towards
his
,
nor
can
it
now
be
doubted
,
seeing
what
was
done
in
this
matter
was
not
only
done
by
their
Lordships
own
men
of
war
,
but
(
as
they
are
now
pleased
to
avow
in
their
answer
)
in
persuance
of
their
order
:
It
was
too
much
that
Ships
of
war
sailing
with
His
Majesties
commission
,
were
from
time
to
time
taken
by
the
Ships
of
war
of
this
Country
,
during
the
late
disorders
,
but
that
any
such
thing
should
be
attempted
,
or
done
,
and
that
in
His
Seas
,
since
His
return
into
His
Kingdomes
,
His
Majesty
can
in
no
ways
disgest
or
passe
by
without
ample
and
full
satisfaction
.

the

13
of

Instant
Request
of
Henry

Merchant

called

that
on

last

there
arose
here
a

violent
Hurricane
whereby
they
lost
their
said
Ship
called
as
above
,
on
the
Northside
of
this
said
Island
,
and
repairing
thereunto
,
I
found
the
said
Ship
as
yet
whole
&
entire
,
setting
upon
the
Recist
;
I
did
also
hear
that
the
said
Merchant
and
Skipper
have
oftentimes
Charged
or
Commanded
the
said
Ships
Company
to
save
or
preserve
their
Masters
goods
,
whether
Peppers
or
other
Commodities
;
whereupon
the
said
Ships
Company
Replyed
,
that
they
did
not
desire
to
hazard
their
lives
,
for
as
to
the
goods
that
should
be
so
saved
,
when
that
they
should
be
Transported
into
England
,
they
should
not
enjoy
one
Stiver
Hyre
for
the
saving
or
preserving
of
the
said
Goods
,
insomuch
that
the
abovesaid
persons
intreated
me
to
save
the
said
goods
with
the
Companies
Mariners
,
for
otherwise
the
said
goods
would
in
a
short
time
be
swallowed
up
or
Perished
in
the
Seas
.
All
that
which
is
abovesaid
I
do
declare
to
be
in
substance
the
very
truth
,
and
shall
verifie
the
same
more
at
large
according
as
the
businesse
shall
require
.
Done

these
following
Relatitions
of
the
Destruction
of

by
the
Dutch
as
followeth
;
This
Boatswain
Went
was
Boatswain
of
the
good
Ship
Dolphin
Mr.
Proud
Master
,
in
the
said
year
1643.
upon
some
Imployment
bound
from
Surat
to
the
Southward
,
viz.
to
Cocheen
a
Portugal
Town
,
where
,
upon
what
occasions
I
know
not
,
he
had
some
conference
with
a
Servant
of
the
Governour
of
Cocheen
concerning
the
Dutch
,
the
man
told
him
of
a
fight
at
Ceylon
between
the
Dutch
and
English
,
viz.
two
English
Ships
and
five
Dutch
ships
,
the
English
named
the
Dragon
and
Katharine
,
both
which
the
Dutch
overcame
,
sinking
the
one
,
and
forcing
the
other
on
shore
,
&
so
eagerly
persecuted
them
,
that
some
of
the
English
having
escaped
Drowning
,
and
got
a
shore
,
the
Dutch
in
their
Boats
hasted
a
shore
likewise
and
cut
them
all
off
,
this
Servant
to
the
Governour
was
in
the
Dutch
ships
at
that
time
in
their
Service
,
when
as
they
fought
,
and
following
the
English
a
shore
(
he
being
one
among
the
Dutch
)
made
escape
to
the
Portugalls
,
and
in
time
came
to
serve
the
Governour
of
Cocheen
.
This
is
the
Relation
that
I
heard
Boatswain
Went
,
relate
,
&
indeed
I
went
aboard
purposely
about
the
businesse
to
enquire
of
him
.
I
required
to
have
the
Relation
under
the
Boatswains
hand
,
but
I
could
not
obtain
it
,
by
reason
of
the
shortnesse
of
our
time
,
for
they
suddenly
set
sail
from
Johanna
;
also
the
Boatswain
said
,
the
Governour
of
Cocheen
knows
the
Matter
,
and
upon
inquiry
if
he
pleaseth
,
can
produce
you
his
Servant
if
he
be
living
,
if
not
,
he
himself
is
able
to
give
satisfaction
therein

The

Taxes
extraordinary
,
as
often

necessity
requireth
,
whereof
the

Judges

viz.
The
thousand
part

sometimes
the
two
hundred

such
as
recieve
Alms.

report

the
Magistrates
of

several
Cities

Towns
,

party
grieved
at
his
Assessement
declaring
upon
Oath
that
his
estate
is
not
worth
so
much
shall
be
relieved
.
But
it
s
seldome
that
any
make
themselves
poorer
then
common
report
speaks
them
,
for
their
own
credit
sake
,
and
this
amounts
to
very
much
.
Whereby
the
yearly
revenue
is
made
as
great
as
the
States
themselves
please
,
and
renders
them
so
considerable
,
that
they
think
themselves
equal
with
most
Princes
of
Europe

LX.
Although
his
most
Christian
Majesty
hath
never
been
willing
to
ingage
himself
;
notwithstanding
the
pressing
instances
made
to
him
heretofore
,
backed
even
with
very
considerable
offers
,
not
to
make
the
Peace
without
the
exclusion
of
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
,
because
his
Majesty
hath
foreseen
and
feared
least
such
an
Engagement
might
be
an
unsurmountable
obstruction
to
the
conclusion
of
the
Peace
,
and
might
consequently
,
reduce
the
two
Kings
to
the
necessity
of
a
perpetual
War
;
Yet
his
said
most
Christian
Majesty
wishing
with
an
extreeme
passion
,
to
see
the
Kingdome
of
Portugal
injoy
the
same
quietnesse
,
which
so
many
Christian
States
shall
get
,
by
the
present
Treaty
,
hath
for
that
end
,
proposed
a
good
number
of
parties
and
expedients
,
such
as
his
Majesty
thought
might
be
satisfactory
to
his
Catholick
Majesty
;
among
which
,
though
as
aforesaid
his
Majesty
was
no
way
ingaged
in
that
Affair
,
his
Majesty
hath
even
gone
so
far
therein
,
as
to
be
willing
to
deprive
himself
of
the
principal
fruit
of
the
happinesse
and
successe
his
Arms
have
had
,
during
the
course
of
a
long
War
,
offering
,
besides
the
places
his
Majesty
doth
now
restore
by
the
present
Treaty
,
unto
his
Catholick
Majesty
,
to
restore
yet
unto
him
all
the
rest
of
the
Conquests
generally
made
by
his
Arms
during
this
War
,
and
wholly
to
restore
the
Prince
of
Conde
;
Provided
and
upon
that
condition
that
the
affairs
of
the
Kingdome
of
Portugal
should
be
left
as
they
are
now
:
which
his
Catholick
Majesty
having
refused
to
accept
,
but
only
offering
that
in
consideration
of
the
mighty
Offices
of
the
said
Lord
the
most
Christian
King
,
he
would
give
his
consent
for
setting
all
things
in
the
said
Kingdom
of
Portugal
,
in
the
same
state
they
were
afore
the
change
arrived
there
in
the
Moneth

enjoy
the
effect
of

peace

At
length
,
in
consideration
of
the
peace
,
and
considering
the
absolute
necessity
his
said
most
Christian
Majesty
hath
been
in
,
to
perpetuate
the
War
by
breaking
off
the
present
Treaty
,
which
his
Majesty
found
to
be
unavoidable
,
in
case
he
would
have
any
longer
insisted
upon
the
obtaining
,
upon
that
affair
,
of
his
Catholick
Majesty
,
other
conditions
then
such
as
he
offered
,
as
aforesaid

And
his
said
most
Christian
Majesty
willing
to
prefer
,
as
it
ought
to
be
,
and
is
most
just
,
the
general
quietnesse
of
Christendom
,
to
the
particular
interest
of
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
,
for
whose
advantage
,
and
in
whose
behalf
,
his
said
Majesty
hath
never
omitted
any
thing
of
what
depended
of
him
,
and
did
lie
in
his
power
,
even
to
the
making
of
such
great
offers
as
aforesaid
,
It
hath
been
at
length
concluded
and
agreed
between
the
said
Lords
and
Kings
,
that
there
shall
be
granted
unto
his
most
Christian
Majesty
,
a
space
of
three
moneths
time
,
to
begin
from
the
day
of
the
exchanging
of
the
Ratifications
of
the
present
Treaty
,
during
which
his
said
Majesty
may
send
into
the
said
Kingdome
of
Portugal
,
to
endevour
so
to
dispose
things
there
,
and
to
reduce
and
compose
that
affair
,
that
his
Catholick
Majesty
may
remain
fully
satisfied
.

three
months
being
expired
,
if
his
said
most
Christian
Majesties
cares

offices
have
not
had
the
desired
effect

his
said
Majesty
will
no
further
meddle
with
that
affair
,
and
doth
oblige
and
engage
himself
and
promise
upon
his
Honour
,
and
in
the
word
of
a
King
,
for
himself

successors

NOte
,
That
the
whole
Subscription
of
the
East-India
Company
of
England
,
in
their
last
joint
Stock
,
founded
in
Cromwell's
time
,
was
800000.
l.
sterl
.
whereof
400000
l.
was
paid
,
and
the
other
ready
to
be
paid
,
if
the
Company
could
have
imployed
such
a
Stock
in
India
or
parts
adjacent
.
Note
,
That
in
the
first
year
after
this
undertaking
of
the
English
,
the
Companies
Actions
in
Holland
,
fell
40
l.
and
50
l.
in
the
rates
current
,
but
when
they
understood
how
the
English
proceeded
,
they
came
to
their
full
values
again
.
Note
,
That
when
Sir
William
Courten
set
forth
his
Ships
in
1635.
and
1636.
the
Dutch
Actions
fell
far
lower
,
and
the
English
Actions
of
the
old
Company
did
rise
20
l.
and
30
l.
in
the
100
l.
which
never
did
the
like
before
or
after
,
and
(
for
those
reasons
)
that
Trade
was
undermined
and
spoyled
by
the
Dutch.
Note
,
That
every
Committee
man
in
the
English
Company
,
hath
a
1000
l.
and
upwards
,
in
the
Stock
,
otherwise
he
is
not
capable
of
being
chosen
into
that
office
.
Note
,
That
the
Bewinthebbers
or
Directors
of
the
East-India
Company
in
Holland
have
the
like
summe
of
1000
l.
in
the
first
principal
Stock
and
upwards
,
otherwise
they
are
not
capable
of
that
imployment
.
Note
,
That
the
first
original
joint
Stock
of
the
East-India
Company
of
the
Netherlands
,
was
660000
l.
sterling
,
in
the
year
1602.
when
they
laid
their
foundation
of
East-India
Trade
,
and
that
every
100
l.
in
that
principal
Stock
,
is
now
worth
460
l.
and
upwards
,
which
rises
and
falls
according
to
news
good
or
bad
every
exchange
time
;
but
what
a
100
l.
in
the
several
,
first
,
second
,
third
,
and
fourth
joint
Stocks
are
worth
in
the
old
English
East-India
Company
,
is
not
certainly
known
.
Note
,
That
the
Company
of
the
Netherlands
are
different
in
their
principals
of
Government
and
Trade
both
at
home
and
abroad
,
from
the
English
,
which
have
so
much
advanced
the
one
,
and
abased
the
other
.

contra

Objectiones
primò
notandum
est
,
Gulielmum
Courten
,
Dominum
Edvardum

,
&
Dominum
Panlum
Pindar
pariter
omnes
fuisse
Anglos
,
deinde
praedictam

Venditionis
&
Emptionis
,
&c.
factam
fuisse
ab
Anglis
in
Anglià
de

Anglicanis
ipsarumque
bonis
ac
mercibus
tunc
temporis
in
eorum
peculio
existentibus
,
&
Nearchorum
quorundam
tutelae
ac
Curae
dum

versarentur
concreditis
,
&c.
Unde
juxta
leges
Angliae
ista
venditio
&
emptio
firma
erat
ac
valida
,
&
per
sigillationem
&
traditionem
praedictae
Indenturae
jus
omne
ad
emptorem
delatum
est
,
citra
omnem
traditionis
posteriùs
celebrandae
necessitatem
:
siquidem
clarissimum
est
ex
jure
Anglicano
Rem
mobilem
(
cujusmodi
sunt
naves
&
mercimonia
)
ab
ipsius
proprietario
qui
ipsam

;

non
esse
,
at

.
Quod
cum
ita
se
habeat
,
sequitur
ex
jure
Anglicano
Gulielmum
Courten
,
quo
tempore
praedictas
naves
&

primitùs
Domino
Edvardo

concessit

itidem

Adeo
ut

Courten

Anglicanae
nullum
ad

restaret
.
1.
Quorum
intuitu
clarissimum
esse
censemus
de
Contractu
praedicto
ab
Anglis
in
Anglia
de
navibus
Anglicanis
celebrato
;
juxta
leges
Civiles
&
recepta
ac
communia
Gentium
Jura
,
judicium
ferendum
esse
(
quoad
ejusdem
valitudinem
&
firmitudinem
,
)
duntaxat
secundum
jus
Anglicanum
,
non
vero
secundum
quodvis
aliud
.
Ac
proinde
cum
omnia
ad
firmitudinem
secundum
legem
Angliae
requisita
habuerit
,
everti
non
posse
,
tametsi
circumstantiâ
aliqua
ex
more
alterius
cujusvis
Gentis
requisitâ
careret
.
Cujus
sententiae
robur
multis
exemplis
&
judiciis
statuminare
atque
indubitatum
reddere
possumus
,
si
quando
id
postulabitur
.
2.
Nec
difficile
foret
ostendere
in
hujusmodi
casu
etiam
juxta
Legem
Civilem
&
receptas
Jurisconsultorum
regulas
ac
sententias
,
in
praedictarum
Indenturarum

ob
considerationes
inibi
expressas
,
reverà
fictam
quandam

inesse
,
quae
ad

primùm
ad

Littleton
,
deinde
ad
Dom.
Pindar
sufficeret
,
prout
,
&c.
3.
Tertiò
Objiciunt
Hollandi
,
Quod
si
naufragium
vel
aliud
infortunium
accidisset
,
Dominum
Paulum
Pindar
jacturam
sustinere
non
debuisse
,
sed
ex
Syngraphis
Assecurationis
remedium
quaerere
,
ideòque
illi
jus
ad
Naves
mereésve
non
competere
.
Haec
Objectio
admodum
infirma
videtur
.
Quippe
notum
est
,
tum
in
jure
,
tum
in
praxi
,
Illum
qui
cum
alio
de
avertendo
periculo
contractum
secerit
,
posse
in
casu
domni
agere
contra
Assecuratorem
;
ad
illud
autem
non
teneri
.
Actio
enim
ejusmodi
,
cujus
gratiâ
Assecuratio
facta
est
,
non
quidem
obest
sed
remedii
ulterioris
loco
est
;
adeòque
si
libeat
,
omitti
potest
,

nihilominus

dominio
.
Id

valent
,
quique
in

4.
Objiciunt

postulare
,
nisi

ut

William
Courten
,
and
Sir
Edward
Littleton
reciting
the
first
Deed
and
a
great
Debt
of
24000.
l.
for
a
further
security
of
that
Debt
,
grant
to
Sir
Paul
Pindar
his
Executors
and
Assigns
,
all
the
Ships
Apparel
,
Stocks
of
Merchandize
,
and
the
Polices
of
Assurance
,
and
all
their
interest
therein
under
divers
Agreements
;
the
Effect
whereof
is
,
that
Sir
Edward
Littleton
shall
and
may
order
and
dispose
of
the
said
Returns
for
Pindar's
satisfaction
,
by
several
proportions
out
of
each
Ship
,
and
the
Residue
to
be
to
Sir
Edward
Littleton
for
the
purposes
in
the
Indenture
,
and
several
other
agreements
;
by
all
which
it
appears
that
Sir
Paul
Pindar
was
not
to
have
more
then
satisfaction
of
his
Debt
,
but
after
that
satisfied
in
such
manner
as
is
expressed
in
the
Indenture
,
the
benefit
of
the
Surplus
was
to
be
for
Sir
Edward
Littleton
and
William
Courten
.
The
Debts
for
which
Sir
Edward
Littleton
was
bound
,
are
not
discharged
within
the
27.
Months
,
nor
are
yet
discharged
,
as
appears
by
the
Bonds
,
Counterbond
and
Outlawries
upon
record
.
Then
the
ship
Bona
Esperanza
is
surprized
in
an
hostile
manner
by
the
Subjects
of
Holland
,
and
the
Bona
Adventure
and
her
goods
also
taken
into
their
possession
.
1648.
William
Courten
as
is
pretended
in
Holland
,
Assigns
his
Interest
,
and
all
the
Stock
,
&c.
to
James
Pergens
,
who
makes
Composition
for
the
same
.
The
Question
propounded
is
,
Whether
the
Assignment
or
Transport
to
Pergens
be
valid
,
and
the
Composition
made
by
him
be
good
or
no
?
or
,
Whether
the
Grant
or
Transport
to
Sir
Edward
Littleton
,
or
by
him
and
William
Courten
to
Sir
Paul
Pindar
be
good
or
no
?
We
conceive
that
both
Questions
fall
into
one
,
for
if
Littleton's
or
Pindar's
Grant
or
Transport
be
valid
,
Pergen's
Transport
and
Composition
is
void
against
Pindar
and
Littleton
,
and
so
è
convenio
.
We
conceive
that
by
the
Common
Law
of
England
,
there
can
no
doubt
be
made
,
but
that
the
interest
and
property
of
the
ships
and
Merchandize
in
them
,
are
really
and
effectually
conveyed
and
transferred
first
unto
Littleton
,
and
then
unto
Sir
Paul
Pindar
;
and
although
it
be
so
done
under
certain
Conditions
,
or
Provisoes
,
and
Agreements
,
yet
till
performance
of
such
Proviso
by
Courten
in
Littleton's
Case
,
the
interest
remained
in
Littleton
,
and
when
that
condition
was
not
performed
(
as
to
this
day
it
is
not
)
the
Grant
becomes
an
absolute
Grant
,
and
Courten
or
his
Assigns
can
never
avoid
it
.
And
as
for
Pindar's
Grant
,
it
is
absolutely
good
,
but
the
person
of
Pindar
is
subject
after
satisfaction
made
to
him
of
his
Debt
,
to
give
an
accompt
,
and
make
satisfaction
to
Courten
and
Littleton
,
but
that
Power
of
drawing
Pindar
to
accompt
,
no
way
lessens
Pindar
his
right
and
property
,
he
is
perfectly
Proprietarius
by
the
Law
of
England
.
And
this
being
a
Contract
in
England
by
Subjects
of
the
Crown
of
England
,
and
touching
their
own
interest
,
we
see
not
how
it
can
be
otherwise
interpreted
.
When
Courten
grants
his
interest
to
Littleton
,
it
hath
no
condition
,
but
that
if
Courten
pay
the
Debts
within
the
time
limited
,
when
that
time
is
expired
,
and
no
payment
made
,
the
legal
interest
is
absolutely
out
of
Courten
,
and
becomes
Pindar's
,
not
as
Assignee
of
Courten
,
but
as
Assignee
of
Littleton
;
yet
't
is
true
,
that
Pindar
after
satisfaction
to
him
of
his
Debts
,
was
to
make
satisfaction
of
the
surplusage
,
but
not
at
all
till
such
satisfaction
.
Then
Courten's
Assignees
can
have
no
more
or
greater
interest
then
himself
had
,
nor
could
transfer
any
property
to
Pergens
,
because
he
himself
had
no
property
in
the
thing
,
but
only
a
possibility
or
power
to
call
Pindar
to
accompt
for
surplusage
after
satisfaction
of
Pindar's
Debt
,
and
not
before
.
As
to
these
Eight
Objections
raised
by
the
Hollanders
,
1.
That
res
mobilis
could
not
be
granted
without
the
possession
delivered
.
2.
That
by
the
Tripartite
Indenture
of
Assignment
or
transport
from
William
Courten
and
Sir
Edward
Littleton
to
Sir
Paul
Pindar
,
of
the
19.
Decemb.
1642.
there
was
only
a
Security
granted
for
money
lent
,
and
not
the
real
interest
transferred
in
Ships
or
Goods
to
Sir
Paul
Pindar
.
3.
That
in
case
of
shipwrack
or
other
miscarriage
,
Sir
Paul
Pindar
was
not
to
suffer
Damage
,
but
to
sue
the
Polices
of
Assurances
;
therefore
he
can
have
no
pretence
to
the
ships
or
their
Lading
.
4.
That
Sir
Paul
Pindar
could
not
claim
his
proportionable
payments
until
some
months
after
the
Return
of
the
ships
to
London
,
and
therefore
also
he
can
have
no
pretence
to
the
Damages
.
5.
As
to
the
Deed
and
Indenture
of
Bargain
and
Sale
from
William
Courten
to
Sir
Edward
Littleton
,
dated
the
26.
of
April
1642.
it
was
only
a
Counter-security
against
Engagements
,
and
that
he
had
not
paid
any
money
for
Mr.
Courten
at
the
time
of
Pergens
his
Transports
;
and
and
therefore
Mr.
Courten
was
not
divested
of
his
property
in
the
Ships
or
their
Lading
.
6.
That
admitting
Sir
Edward
Littleton's
right
or
any
other
Proprietor
,
they
were
excluded
from
any
new
allegation
or
pretence
,
having
not
entred
their
Claim
in
1654.
before
the
English
and
Dutch
Commissioners
,
according
to
the
30.
Article
of
Cromwell's
Treaty
.
7.
That
as
to
the
Commission
grounded
upon
the
Statutes
made
concerning
Bankrupts
,
neither
the
Statutes
or
Common
Laws
of
England
,
could
be
effectual
or
take
place
in
the
Low
Countries
.
8.
That
admitting
Mr.
Courten
were
insolvent
when
he
made
the
transports
to
Pergens
,
the
Company
could
not
take
any
such
notice
as
to
deem
him
uncapable
of
transferring
his
right
to
any
thing
he
had
in
the
United
Provinces
.
They
are
of
no
value
in
our
Law
.
First
,
The
possession
by
the
Law
of
England
goeth
with
the
property
,
and
where
the
right
or
property
is
,
there
by
our
Law
is
the
possession
,
unless
some
other
Person
obtain
actual
Possession
as
a
Trespasser
;
and
indeed
for
Lands
in
some
tuses
,
Delivery
of
possession
is
requisite
,
but
never
for
Goods
,
the
Master
may
sell
his
Goods
in
the
Servants
or
Factors
Custody
as
well
as
if
they
were
in
his
own
hands
.
2.
A
Grant
for
Security
of
Debts
,
is
as
good
as
an
absolute
Grant
to
the
end
intended
,
till
the
Debts
be
discharged
.
3.
As
for
the
Objection
that
Sir
Paul
Pindar
was
to
have
advantage
of
the
Polices
of
Assurance
,
that
is
far
from
being
solid
,
because
no
advantage
can
be
of
the
Police
without
the
renunciation
of
the
property
,
so
without
the
latter
he
cannot
have
the
former
.
4.
Though
Sir
Paul
Pindar
could
not
claim
his
payments
until
some
Months
after
Arrival
,
yet
that
doth
not
weaken
his
security
,
therefore
the
taking
of
the
Ship
and
goods
is
a
damage
to
him
,
for
which
he
is
to
be
relieved
.
The
fifth
is
answered
before
.
As
to
the
questions
of
State
,
or
Civil
Law
,
it
's
proper
for
other
persons
to
make
Answer
thereunto
.
8.
It
behoves
every
man
to
take
notice
of
anothers
right
,
who
meddles
with
the
thing
wherein
another
hath
right
;
it
is
a
bad
defence
for
one
Trespasser
,
to
say
,
I
have
satisfied
another
man
for
it
,
&
it
cannot
be
just
when
one
man
is
intituled
to
a
satisfaction
for
a
wrong
done
him
,
that
it
should
lay
in
the
Trespassees
power
to
make
the
person
wronged
remedilesse
by
payment
to
another
person
;
an
English
mans
head
being
broken
,
cannot
be
cured
by
a
Playster
applyed
to
a
Dutch
mans
head

Nostra
pro

haud
dubium
est
quin

deferunturque

Licetque

Conditionibus

tamen
,
quoadusque
Courtenus
,

,
&
cùm

(
ut
ne

cessio

,
omnimodo
absoluta

,
neque

Quod

,
tametsi
persona
ejus
post

subjiceretur
,
sed
potestas

cogendi
Pindarum
ad

,
Pindari
jus
&

neutiquam
minuit
,
quia
per

Atque
cùm

non
videmus
quomodo

Quando
Courtenus

,
nulla
alia
extitit
Conditio
,
nisi
quod

Quod
Hasce
octo
Objectiones

,
1.
Jus

Traditionem

2.
Per
Syngrapham
scilicet
Indenturam
tripartitam
factam
inter
Gulielmum
Courtenum
Dominum
Edvardum
Littletonum
&
Dominum
Paulum
Pindarum
,
datam

Decembris

Securitate
pecuniarum
creditarum
,
jus
autem
plenarium

naves
earumque
bona
in
Dominum
Paulum
Pindarum
nequaquam
transiisse
.
3.
Quod
si
Naufragium
vel
aliud
infortunium
accidisset
,
Dominum
Paulum
Pindarum
jacturam
sustinere
non
debuisse
,
sed
ex
Syngraphis
&
Politiis
assecurationis
remedium
quaesiturum
,
ideoque
illi

ad
Naves

non
Competere
.
4.
Quod
Domino

,
nisi

mensibus

Gulielmum
Courtenum
&
Dominum
Edvardum
Littletonum
,
data
16.
Aprilis
,
1662.
nihil
aliud
voluit
quàm
ut
caveretur
Domino
Littletono
contra
sponsiones

fide-jussiones
,
dictumque
Dominum
Littletonum
nihil

6.
Si
jus
Domini
Edvardi
Littleton
aut
oujusvis
alterius
proprietarii
admittatur
tamen
novae
alicui
praetensioni
aut
allegationi
locum
non
esse
,
eo
quod
talis
vendicatio
non
delata
fuerat
ad
Anglos
&
Batavos
Deputatos
Anno
1654.
prout
secundùm
Articulum

.
7.
Quod
attinet
Rescriptum

Commissionem
fuudatam
super

adversum
Decoctores
lata

Si

nempe
eum
incapacem
reddicum
esse
ad
transferendum
dominium
alicujus
rei
quam
in
Provinciis
Confoederatis
haberet
.
Hae
nihil
valent
secundùm
Leges
nostras
.
Quia
primò
,
possessio
per
Leges
Angliae
transit
sive
vadit
cum
proprietate
&
ubi
jus
&
proprietas
est
,
ibi
per
Leges
nostras
invenire
est
possessionem
,
nisi
alius
quisquis
actualem
possessionem
obtinet
,
sub
reatu
Invasoris
;
&
reipsa
quantum
Fundos
in
aliquibus
casibus
attinet
,
Traditio
possessionis
valde
necessaria
est
,
nunquam
tamen
quoad
bona
,
quae
Magister

sive
Custodia

tam
legitime
quam
si

2.
Cessio
ad
securitatem
aeris
alieni
adeo
valet
,
ut
si
absoluta

ad

.
3.
Quantum
ad
objectionem
quod
Dominus
Paulus
Pindarus
se
resarcitum
daret
ex
Syngraphis
Assecurationis
,
nihil
in
hac
inest
ponderis
,
quia
prodesse
hae
Syngraphae
neutiquam
illi
potuerunt
absque
renunciatione
proprietatis
,
ideoque
sine
posteriori
priorem
tenere
non
potuerit
.
4.
Quamvis
Dominus
Pindarus
non
irrogare
potuit
solutiones
praedictas
quousque
aliquot
menses

hoc

while
charge
all
the
men
in
this
Imployment
in
the
Country
by
vertue
of
your
Commission
,
and
in
his
Majesties
name
to
follow
your
direction
,
and
thus
force
him
to
come
down
;
mean
while
you
must
not
apply
your self
so
much
upon
these
particulars
,
as
to
neglect
other
business
of
venting
goods
,
and
procuring
lading
for
the
Loyaltie
and
Unitie
for
England
,
and
for
the
Hester
for
such
places
as
you
shal
resolve
to
send
her
,
with
the
advice
of
Mr.
Hogge
,
and

When
you
have
placed
your self
at
Carwarr
,
and
settled
the
Government
prescribed
by
these
Instructions
you
shall
erect
a
factory
at
Batticalla
,
and
amongst
other
Merchants
send
Anthony
Martin
to
reside
there
,
because
that
he
speaks
the
Country
language
,
and
was
there
from
the
beginning
,
till
the
demolishing
of
the
house
.
The
Pepper
about
Baticola
is
very
good
,
but
not
so
good
as
that
which
comes
from
Rabagg
and
Houbilee
,
nevertheless
procure
a
Quantity
,
for
when
it
costs
but
30.
Pag.
at
Candee
,
it
is
far
better
then
to
pay
36.
and
38.
Pag.
at
Rabagg
and
Houbilee
,
besides
the
carriage
down
and
the
Customes
to
be
paid
upon
the
way
.
18.
You
shall
send
for
Peter
Demaisters
,
who
is
at
present
Chief
at
Rabagg
,
to
come
to
you
,
and
send
in
his
room
to
be
chief
there
William
Hicks
,
and
in
case
he
should
be
deceased
or
returned
,
such
other
persons
as
you
shall
find
able
for
that
place
,
for
that
the
Hollanders
which
lye
there
,
strive
to
under-sell
and
over-buy
all
Commodities
,
and
being
Crafty
Fellows
,
with
their
Insinuations
and
other
sinister
and
underhand
dealings
,
come
to
know
of
Mr.
Woodman
and
Peter
Demaisters
the
very
secrets
of
this
Imployment
;
therefore
it
behoves
you
to
place
one
there
,
able
to
discover
their
underminings
,
and
Encounter
with
their
dealings
,
Peter
Demaister
will
do
more
Service
under
you
at
Carwarr
.
19.
You
shall
settle
Mr.
Albion
Mottershed
at
Rajapore
,
with
the
rest
of
the
Merchants
,
in
that
form
of
Government
in
the
Instructions
for
the
Factory
expressed
:
And
take
up
the
Accompt
of
his
dealings
from
the
beginning
untill
now
,
for
that
I
have
as
yet
received
none
.
20.
It
is
left
to
your
Judgement
and
choice
,
whether
to
settle
one
or
more
factories
upon
the
Coasts
of
India
,
or
Cocheen
,
Coulan
,
Calepatan
,
Dabull
,
or
within
the
Countrey
at
Dichallee
,
Houbilee
,
or
other
places
where
the
Pepper
growes
,
what
you
resolve
with
the
advice
of
your
Councell
,
let
it
tend
to
the
most
benefit
of
this
Imployment
,
and
be
cautious
in
settling
of
Factories
,
that
the
charge
of
the
place
be
not
more
then
the
profits
to
be
expected
from
thence
.

the

but
the
Charter

of

Mr.

by
the

you
shall
find

Endevour
to
lade
home
the
two
said
fraighted
Ships
,
before
they
enter
upon
Demourage
,
and
put
aboard
the
Unity
about
80
tonnes
of
Salt-Peeter
or
more
,
to
bring
her
down
,
and
be
carefull
to
have
the
Ship
well
filled
with
Pepper
,
Cinamon
,
and
other
light
goods
,
because
that
I
am
to
pay
no
more
for
180
Tonnes
,
then
for
100
Tonnes
;
see
that
the
Hold
be
not
imployed
to
stow
Ships
provision
,
let
it
be
contracted
to
narrow
compasse
,
and
cause
all
Bulk-heads
in
hold
,
made
for
outward
accommodation
,
to
be
taken
down
;
and
if
the
Bread-room
be
too
big
,
fill
the

with
goods
or
other
provisions
,
the
Loyalty
being
by
the
tonne
is
not
materiall
to
make
her
stowe
so
much
and
full
.
22.
During
the
time
of
the
unlading
and
relading
of
the
two
said
Ships
,
you
shall
send
them
both
to
the
Southward
and
Northward
,
with
direction
to
gather
part
of
their
lading
,
mean
while
let
the
Hester
gather
lading
also
for
them
,
and
get
such
quantity
of
Goods
down
to
Carwarr
betimes
,
to
be
laden
before
she
enters
into
Demorage
to
be
excused
of
1800
l.
which
I
shall
be
forced
to
pay
for
six
dayes
Demorage
,
as
you
may
farther
perceive
by
Charter
party
;
then
you
may
do
me
a
wondrous
good
Service
in
dispatching
the
two
fraighted
Ships
home
,
and
better
in
lading
home
all
three
,
which
shall
recommend
to
your
Diligence
,
Industry
,
and
Care
.
23.
In
case
that
the
Loyalty
onely
could
be
dispatch'd
home
,
for
I
shall
expect
her
at
least
,
because
it
concerns
me
in
the
highest
degree
to
have
returns
next
Summer
,
then
you
shall
employ
the
Unity
upon
fraight
to
Persia
,
Red
Sea
,
Cambaiae
,
Acheen
,
or
China
,
in
Company
of
the
Hester
to
the
most
benefit
,
and
when
you
may
get
so
much
or
more
,
as
may
cleer
the
150
l.
per
Moneth
,
which
I
must
pay
for
Demourage
,
but
if
no
profitable
fraights
are
to
be
expected
,
you
may
lade
her
with
Cotten
,
Gum-lack
on
Sticks
,
Cassumba
,
Turmerick
,
and
other
goods
vendible
at
Acheen
,
and
send
her
thither
consign'd
to
Mr.
Henry
Glascock
,
Cheif
of
the
Factory
there
;
You
must
send
for
Acheen
also
,
by
the
Unity
or
Hester
,
all
the
Amber
remaining
at
Carwarr
,
a
parcell
of
Iron
,
Lead
,
and
Cloth
,
and
mean
while
procure
her
lading
home
against
Christs-tide
,
1643.

Provide
for
the
homeward
bound
Ships
,
about
1000.

Costs
at
Houbilee
3½
and
4
Pagoes
a
Candee
,
which
Salt-peeter
you
must
cause
to
be
refined
by
the
Salt-peeter
man
,
which
goes
with
you
,
let
it
be
refined
30
per
cent
.
finer
,
then
what
came
by
the
William
and
Hester
,
for
the
finer
it
is
the
better
for
sale
,
lesse
fraight
and
custom
.
Against
next
year
,
you
shall
provide
another
1000.
Candees
Saltpeeter
,
which
must
be
ready
in
the
house
before
the
Ships
arrive
out
of
England
,
and
refined
at
leasure
;
You
must
also
provide
a
good
parcell
of
Pepper
for
these
homeward
bound
Ships
,
and
no
lesse
then
800.
Candees
which
must
be
very
well
sifted
,
clear
from
dust
,
and
all
the
light
Pepper
or
empty
Husks
fanned
or
milled
out
of
it
,
for
it
is
better
to
throw
away
the
dust
and
light
Pepper
,
then
to
bring
it
home
to
England
,
although
I
believe
it
will
yield
something
in
India
,
for
dust
is
now
worth
the
1/10
part
of
good
Pepper
,
neither
is
light
Pepper
worth
above
the
1/3
part
of
good
Pepper
,
which
dust
and
light
Pepper
pays
as
much
custom
and
more
fraight
then
good
Pepper
,
for
the
light
Pepper
requires
three
times
more
room
then
good
Pepper
,
so
that
the
price
of
light
Pepper
which
is
here
6
d.
whereas
the
price
of
good
Pepper
is
18
d
,
per
pound
,
but
the
custom
thereof
is
3
d.
and
the
fraight
3
d.
½
per
pound
;
And
for
light
Pepper
9⅜
which
with
the
custom
makes
128
d.
doubled
the
proceed
besides
6
d.
first
Cost
.
The
Cinamon
which
you
buy
must
also
be
stickt
,
garbled
,
and
all
the
black
and
thick
sticks
refused
,
and
if
bought
in
a
parcell
together
,
't
is
better
to
throw
them
away
then
to
bring
them
home
,
for
the
consideration
mentioned
in
the
light
Pepper
;
You
have
John
Smith
a
Grocer
by
Trade
,
who
may
constantly
be
employed
about
the
Garbling
and
chusing
of
Pepper
and
Cinamon
:
Pepper
of
Cannanore
,
Callicutt
,
and
Coulan
,
sells
here
a
penny
in
a
pound
cheaper
then
that
which
comes
from
Rabagg
,
Houbilee
or
thereabouts
.

By
the
Musters
of
Drugs
and
in
the
Instructions
in
23
several
papers
,
you
may
perceive
what
Drugs
fit
for
this
place
with
price
and
quantity
,
you
have
Stephen
Hill
Druggist
,
who
may
be
employed
in
the
choice
and
ordering
thereof
,
and
buy
such
parcels
as
you
find
exprest
when
it
may
be
done
to
profit
,
and
send
the
same
home
by
every
homeward
bound
Ship
,
besides
you
must
provide
for
Acheen
,
a
good
parcell
of
Turmerick
,
Gum-lack
,
Mastick
and
Cassumba
,
which
is
a
dry
flower
dying
Yellow
,
which
you
may
also
suffer
to
be
garbled
by
your
Druggist
,
Cotten
which
Costs
at
Houbilee
2½

a

must
also
be
provided
for

Pagoes
a

Pagoes
a

In
the
buying
of
Pepper
,
Cinamon
,
and
other
goods
,
take
heed
to
buy
none
when
they
be
most
wet
or
watered
,
whereby
20
per
cent
.
may
be
lost
,
and
more
may
be
lost
on
the
weight
,
but
bespeake
if
they
are
found
moist
,
wet
,
or
watered
,
they
shall
make
allowance
,
which
may
be
tryed
in
weighing
of
100
l.
neat
,
and
drying
the
same
upon
a
Sail
three
or
four
dayes
during
the
time
of
the
Sun
shining
hot
,
and
after
three
or
four
dayes
drying
,
weigh
what
the
same
loses
from
the
100
l.
aforesaid
,
and
so
a
present
experience
may
be
made
upon
a
Muster
of
a
pound
dryed
by
a
fire
.
If
Endicoe
flat
,
and
which
may
be
had
at
about
100
Pagoes
a
Candee
you
may
have
a
parcell
and
send
by
the
homeward
Ships
,
and
send
home
also
a
parcell
of
Callicoes
made
thereabouts
,
that
the
sorts
and
prices
may
be
known
,
or
order
great
parcels
hereafter
:
inquire
what
Sugar
to
be
had
in
the
Countrey
,
and
what
price
,
for
I
understand
that
great
store
of
Goox
or
Jaggrye
may
be
had
all
the
Countrey
over
at
cheap
rates
,
which
being
so
,
it
may
turn
to
Accompt
to
send
a
Sugar-refiner
to
buy
and
refine
the
Sugar
there
,
both
to
save
fraight
and
custom
:
Inquire
also
what
Bee-Wax
may
may
be
bought
for
,
and
whether
quantities
may
be
had
,
it
yeilds
here
alwayes
5
l.
per
cent
.
26.
Endevour
with
all
the
Industry
you
have
,
to
sell
all
the
Commodities
which
are
consigned
unto
you
for
Money
,
or
in
Truck
for
money
and
Goods
,
as
above
expressed
,
and
such
other
as
hereafter
you
shall
be
informed
here
or
at
Acheen
,
it
's
not
safe
to
keep
home
Commodities
unsold
above
12
Moneths
after
landing
thereof
,
for
besides
the
perishing
of
Cloth
,
commonly
Goods
kept
long
sell
at
last
cheaper
then
the
first
profer
,
and
the
yearly
supply
from
home
considered
,
goods
are
not
like
to
rise
in
price
with
keeping
,
Moreover
the
proceed
thereof
lyeth
dead
,
which
otherwise
may
be
employed
in
Commodities
for
Europe
or
Acheen
,
so
that
you
may
conclude
it
is
better
to
lose
50
per
cent
.
upon
goods
,
then
to
keep
them
12
months
unsold
.
By
the
Invoyce
of
the
Hester
,
Unity
,
&
Loyalty
,
you
may
perceive
what
kind
of
Commodities
are
sent
from
hence
,
per
next
return
advise
me
what
other
goods
may
be
sold
for
profit
,
and
be
diligent
to
find
out
the
Trade
of
the
place
and
Country
to
the
full
,
and
let
me
know
whether
Lead
in
Pigs
of
300
l.
sell
not
for
as
much
as
Pigs
of
100
l.
or
Bars
of
14
or
16
l.
for
betwixt
Bars
and
Pigs
here
is
always
14
d.
per
centweight
difference
,
that
the
Bars
cost
more
.
Also
the
price
of
Corrall
Beads
,
and
whether
a
great
difference
be
betwixt
deep
Red
coloured
and
a
pale
coloured
,
though
the
Beads
be
of
one
and
the
same
bignesse
;
Which
sort
of
Beads
and
bignesse
thereof
sells
with
you
,
and
what
quantities
a
year
,
for
being
very
deere
I
must
be
fully
informed
of
the
price
and
request
before
can
resolve
to
send
a
considerable
parcell
:
next
year
intend
to
send
out
a
good
parcell
of
Corrall
,
mean
while
you
may
put
off
all
the
Corrall
you
find
unsold
in
any
one
of
the
Factories
.
27.
You
must
be
carefull
to
have
all
the
Cloth
of
all
the
three
Ships
ayred
as
soon
as
you
come
into
hot
Countries
and
in
Sultry
weather
;
You
have
a
Packer
named
William
Gerishe
,
who
with
his
Presse
may
Pack
up
the
Cloth
again
,
as
it
was
before
;
which
he
may
also
effect
a
shore
,
and
be
constantly
employed
about
keeping
the
Cloth
in
good
order
.
28.
You

That
by
reason
of
the
disappointment
caused
through
the
spoiling
of
the
Voyages
of
Mr.
Courten
's
Ships
:
The
Factors
were
forced
to
borrow
money
in
Acheen
at
10
l.
per
cent
.
a
Moneth
,
which
is
the
usual
rate
of
moneys
in
those
parts
,
and
for
want
of
supplies
their
Credit
dayly
impaired
,
untill
at
last
the
whole
Trade
and
Factories
were
overthrown
.
The
Attestation
of
Mr.
John
Darrell
Merchant
,
concerning
Mr.
Courten
's
Factors
and
Factories
in
the
East-Indies
and
parts
adjacent
,
in
the
year
1644.

I
Underwritten
John
Darrell
of

Parish
of
St.
Giles
Cripplegate
,
London
,
Merchant
,
do
Testifie
and
declare
upon
my
corporal
Oath
,
that
according
to
Articles
and
Covenants
with
William
Courten
late
of
London
Merchant
,
I
set
Sayle
from
the
Downes
for
the
East-Indies
,
in
the
Month
of
April
1644.
in
the
Fraighted
Ship
Loyalty
,
(
with
Cap.
John
Durson
Commander
)
in
the
Imployment
of
the
said
William
Courten
and
Company
;
and
in
September
following
,
I
arrived
in
the
said
Ship
at
Jettapore
in
India
,
and
going
up
to
Rajapore
,
acquainted
Mr.
Courten's
chief
Agent
(
Mr.
John
Farren
)
therewith
,
who
by
his
Letter
(
contrary
to
Expectation
)
certified
us
of
the
sad
and
distressed
condition
of
Mr.
Courten's
Factors
and
Factories
,
by
reason
of
divers
and
several
Losses
and
spoils
of
their
Ships
and
Voyages
,
trading
to
and
again
for
China
and
parts
adjacent
;
and
that
since
the
losse
of
the
Ships
Dragon
and
Katharine
,
the
Dutch
East-India
Company
had
violently
taken
the
Bona
Esperanza
,
and
seized
the
Merchandize
and
Ships
provisions
of
the
Henry
Bonadventure
,
and
assailed
Capt.
Blackman
Commander
of
the
Ship
called
the
Great
William
,
who
very
narrowly
escaped
firing
or
sinking
in
the
Straights
of
Mallacca
,
as
they
themselves
and
divers
others
very
credibly
reported
in
India
to
me
this
Deponent
,
Whereby
I
do
further
declare
and
assert
,
that
all
supplyes
were
wholly
prevented
(
and
the
said
Factors
wanting
employment
)
their
several
remains
of
Goods
and
Merchandize
were
consumed
,
great
Debts
contracted

all
undertaken

settled
by
vertue
of
Letters

under
the
great
Seal
of

,
granted
to
Sir
Will
.
Courten
,
and
others
upon
good
foundations
of
reason
and
policy
,
yet
by
providence
were
suffered
to
be
most
wickedly
destroyed
to
the
ruine
of
Mr.
Courten
and
his
Family
,
and
the
inestimable
Losse
of
the
whole
Kingdome
.
And
I
do
further
declare
,
that
in
the
year
1645.
I
came
thence
for
England
again
in
the
Ship
Thomas

John

Brought
