A
Joyfull
Message
sent
from
the
Honourable
House
of
Commons
,
to
Robert
,
Earle
of
Warwicke
,
Admirall
of
his
Maiesties
Navie
Royall
.
THe
manifold
destractions
of
this
Kingdome
are
great
,
and
the
disturbances
of
this
●●land
are
manifestly
and
apparently
understood
,
and
by
sad
experience
made
knowne
to
the
world
,
insomuch
that
all
Nations
doe
reioyce
,
which
are
Enemies
to
the
Peace
of
great
Brittaine
,
but
I
hope
all
those
that
are
Enemies
to
Sion
will
have
their
wages
paid
by
the
Divell
that
set
them
at
worke
,
for
their
mallicious
spleene
against
this
Kingdome
hath
beene
long
intended
,
and
now
of
late
t
is
burst
out
in
abundance
,
God
grant
all
those
that
goe
about
,
and
seeke
the
destruction
of
this
Kingdome
,
and
of
our
gra●ious
Soveraigne
King
Charles
,
may
be
utterly
confounded
,
and
brought
to
destruction
.
What
a
sad
and
lamentable
thing
it
is
,
for
the
Subjects
of
England
to
thinke
that
a
civill
Warre
should
begin
in
the
Kingdome
,
who
are
now
at
Peace
with
all
the
Princes
in
the
World
,
no
intention
to
take
up
Armes
,
but
the
malignant
Party
separating
his
Maiesty
from
his
great
Councell
the
High
Court
of
Parliament
,
and
creating
a
misunderstanding
betweene
his
Maiesty
and
them
,
it
is
greaetly
to
be
feared
that
the
effects
will
be
fatall
,
for
it
is
a
knowne
maxime
,
that
Jealuosie
is
the
Mo●her
of
dis●ention
,
dis●ention
that
nou●ishe●
distraction
,
and
distraction
intestine
warre
,
na●
a
civill
Warre
,
in
comparisoo
of
which
none
is
more
bloody
,
and
uncivill
,
and
the
distractions
of
this
Kingdome
declare
that
we
have
great
cause
to
feare
that
the
same
effects
will
insue
.
For
intelligence
hath
beene
given
to
the
House
,
of
great
store
of
Armes
and
Ammunition
,
to
be
transported
to
New-Castle
,
for
his
Maiesties
defence
,
likewise
diverse
pieces
of
Ordnance
,
and
many
other
things
belonging
to
wa●re
,
likewise
many
Captaines
are
ready
to
be
transported
over
to
serve
the
King
,
who
have
●aken
an
Oath
amongst
themselves
that
if
they
be
set
upon
by
the
way
,
they
will
fight
it
out
to
the
last
man
.
Likewise
there
was
a
report
made
to
the
House
of
Commons
,
that
there
is
great
preparations
made
both
in
France
,
and
Spaine
,
for
the
raising
of
an
Army
to
be
transported
to
his
Majesty
,
to
asist
h●m
against
the
Parliament
,
and
that
the
Popes
Nuncio
●oth
goe
about
to
raise
Forces
for
the
same
designe
.
Therfore
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
had
great
doubt
that
his
Maiesty
had
some
Designe
,
for
the
altering
his
religion
.
Likewise
the
Popes
Nuntio
hath
solicited
the
Kings
of
France
and
Spaine
,
to
lend
the
King
of
England
foure
thousand
men
a
piece
,
to
helpe
to
maintaine
the
Royal●y
of
the
King
against
the
Parliament
,
but
we
hope
God
will
direct
his
Maiesty
better
.
These
are
the
chiefe
grounds
of
our
Feares
.
The
House
of
Commons
having
taken
the
aforesaid
reports
into
serious
consideration
,
gave
Order
that
there
should
be
a
speedy
Message
,
sent
to
to
the
Earle
of
Warwicke
,
intimating
unto
him
the
information
which
they
had
received
,
desiring
him
to
have
a
speciall
care
therein
,
and
to
stop
the
passages
of
all
those
which
shall
transport
Armes
or
Ammunition
,
from
Rome
,
Venice
,
Parris
,
and
other
neere
adioyning
parts
,
as
also
from
Holland
,
there
having
beene
of
late
great
preparations
of
Instruments
of
warre
,
sent
over
in
severall
Letters
from
thence
to
the
high
Court
of
Parliament
.
Likewise
they
received
more
intelligence
,
of
certaine
Ships
laden
with
Ordnance
and
other
Ammunition
,
to
be
sent
to
his
Maiesty
,
and
that
they
are
now
upon
the
Sea
.
Which
Newes
doth
increase
the
sorrow
of
the
Parliament
,
considering
the
great
misery
which
is
like
to
fall
upon
the
Kingdome
,
whereby
they
are
inforced
(
for
the
prevention
of
which
)
to
apply
themselves
to
the
use
of
that
power
which
by
the
Fundamentall
Lawes
of
the
Land
resides
in
them
,
yet
still
resolving
to
keepe
themselves
within
the
bounds
of
faithfullnesse
and
allegiance
,
to
his
sacred
Maiesty
.
Likewise
the
Honorable
Houses
of
Parliament
thought
it
convenient
,
and
dome
,
for
to
make
further
enquiry
thereof
wherefore
they
sent
a
Message
to
the
Dutch
Ambassador
,
to
know
of
him
whither
there
were
any
such
thing
,
or
not
,
the
Messenger
which
carried
this
Message
returning
backe
,
reported
to
the
House
the
Answer
that
he
had
received
from
the
said
Dutch
Ambassador
,
intimating
,
unto
them
that
he
had
received
no
such
intelligence
from
Holland
,
neither
did
he
know
of
any
such
thing
.
Ordered
by
the
Lords
and
Commons
asesmbled
in
Parliament
,
that
this
Letter
be
forthwith
Printed
,
and
published
throughout
all
the
Kingdome
.
