THE PROTESTATION OF HER ROYALL MAIESTIE , Given at Her departure from Scheveling , Feb. 25. 1643. Old style . Against the High and Mighty Lords , the States Generall of the Vnited PROVINCES of the LOW COVNTRIES .

THE Queen of Great Brittaine ( through the intention that She hath had to preserve the amity between the King and the Lords States ) having omitted to take notice of many indignities by which She hath here been provoked , She doth finde her selfe at present so highly offended , that she cannot any longer ( with the honour of the King ) abstain from making this Complaint , which she doth make to the Lords the States , upon the Order which hath beene given to search and arrest a Vessell which she hath fraighted and laden with divers goods belonging to her , for which the Lords States have granted her a Pasport ; The Queene doth make no difficulty to avouch the transporting of Ammunition , as far as it is absolutely necessary for her safeguard ; She hath chosen to furnish her selfe this way , rather then by that of asking a license , because of an Order made by the States to hinder the transporting of Armes and Ammunition for the King , or for the Parliament ; which Order the King hath had great reason to think very partiall for the Parliament , paralelling them with him ; but the not observing of this Order hath been more offensive to him , especially since the abovesaid Parliament have caused much Ammunition to bee transported over , and have bought Vessels , to imploy them against the King . If the Queene hath not demanded a license for the things that she had need of , it was not to put the States to so much trouble , nor to deviate from their Order , nor justly to offend the King , but rather that all the endeavoures of the Queene , and the precautions to preserve the good correspondence between the King and the Lords States ( which is established by so many Treaties ) hath produced nothing but a Continuation of affronts and prejudice to the Kings service , she is bound to make this Declaration :

THat she doth receive this Order given for the arresting of her Ship as a notable injustice and indignity , which shee is obliged to be sensible of in a high degree , WHerefore shee doth beleeve that the Lords States having better considered on it , will connive for the departure of her Vessell , with all that it doth carry for her Service , without which the Queene is bound to demonstrate to the Lords States , that this injustice and affront , which she shall receive by the arrest of this Vessell , cannot passe for lesse then a violating of the league betwixt the King and the States ; the consequences whereof will be very dangerous , wherefore she hopes that they will give such a just cause to the King and her of such a displeasure :

Done at Scheveling the 25. Feb. 1643. By the expresse command of her Majestie ; Subscribed , William Bosswell Agent .

Printed at London for John Hancocke , in Burchen Lane , March 9. 1643.
