EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Much
Honoured
Readers
,
HERE
I
Present
to
your
View
and
Serious
Consideration
,
a
strange
and
Unpollished
(

True
)
Discourse
,
consisting
of
several
Particulars
of
great
Consequence
and
Concernment
;
And
although
strange
and
somwhat
Obstruce
,
yet
very
necessary
(
as
I
humbly
conceive
)
at
this

truly
and
undoubtedly
to
be
rightly
understood
,
in
regard
the
Subjects
of

questionless
of
all

Nations
in

else

,
that

Inhumane

which
now
according

(

I
intend
(
God
willing
)
really
and
briefly
to
declare
,

,
sufficiently
to
satisfie
any
Reasonable

as

may
Gradually

And

(

I
may

that

THE
PREFACE
,
OR
INTRODUCTION
.
In
the
prosecution
of
this
uneouth
and
obstruse
discourse
,
and
scrutinous
discovery
,
I
must
of
necessity
plain
the
way
before
me
by
a
long
and
tedious
perambulation
of
forreign
and
domestick
passages
,
that
by
the
tract
thereof
,
the
discreet
Reader
may
more
easily
apprehend
how
to
discern
and
distinguish
by
demonstrative
and
plain
reasons
,
the
hidden
truth
acted
in
the
East-Indies
,
from
all
those
surmised
and
pretended
mists
of
error
and
ignorance
,
wherein
it
is
clouded
and
Inveloped
briefly
thus
;
viz.
The
Tract
,
or
Explanation
.
WHen
famous
Sir
Francis
Drake
,
Anno
1●80
.
had
passed
the
Straits
of
Màgelline
,
and
arived
at
Ternatto
(
one
of
the
Mollucca●s
or
Benda
,
or
rather
Amboyna
Islands
,
because
by
that
di●eful
name
they
are
best
known
to
the
English
)
and
intending
to
return
thither
again
three
years
after
,
but
other
occasions
prevented
him
.
Then
the
Dutch
,
Anno
1595.
prosecuting
the
said
discovery
set
forth
Fleet
after
Fleet
,
and
the
English
shortly
after
them
and
both
of
them
discovering
and
arriving
at
the
aforesaid
Islands
,
and
other
places
in
the
South
Seas
,
as
China
,
Iapan
,
&c.
but
made
their
Rendevouz
upon
Iava
major
,
the
English
at
●antum
(
a
place
formerly
possest
and
walled
about
with
bricks
by
the
Portuguez
,
but
the
Natives
had
expelled
them
:
)
the
Dutch
at
Iaccatra
,
a
small
Village
of
Fishermen
with
a
little
Fort
taken
by
the
Dutch
from
the
Natives
and
afterwards
taken
by
Sir
Thomas
Dale
from
the
Dutch
,
whom
the
Natives
demanded
to
be
their
prisoners
,
but
Sir
Thomas
aforesaid
would
not
deliver
a
Christian
into
a
Heathens
hand
,
and
thereupon
gave
the
Dutch
again
possession
of
the
Fort
,
and
bid
them
fight
for
their
lives
,
and
left
them
;
which
now
is
become
a
Famous
and
Metropolitan
City
called
●attavia
,
or
new
Holland
;
But
the
two
Nations
English
and
Dutch
did
Diametrically
differ
in
their
constitutions
and
forms
of
Government
,
and
of
management
,
the
one
here
,
the
other
there
,
from
whence
proceeded
different
successes
even
to
admiration
,
as
at
this
day
appears
.
Not
long
after
this
there
grew
quarrels
and
contentions
between
them
concerning
some
of
the
said
Islands
of
Amboyna
,
aforesaid
,
which
by
the
affections
of
the
Natives
,
and
Proprietors
thereof
to
the
English
,
were
legally
surrendred
to
the
said
English
for
the
King
and
Crown
of
England
,
and
confirmed
by
way
of
livery
,
and
seizin
the
said
Natives
,
delivering
to
the
said
English
a
Turf
or
Clod
of
their
said
Earth
,
and
some
of
their
Fruits
thereupon
growing
,
in
testimony
of
their
solemn
,
and
serious
,
voluntary
,
and
free
resignation
of
the
said
Natives
themselves
,
and
all
their
said
Lawful
and
Hereditary
Islands
and
possessions
therein
into
the
protection
and
subjection
of
the
King
and
Crown
of
England
aforesaid
.
And
as
I
was
informed
from
some
English
,
to
whom
they
were
so
surrendred
and
delivered
,
the
said
Islands
were
these
,
viz
Polloroon
,
Lantore
,
Seran
,
Nero
,
Cobo
or
Cambello
;
but
the
Dutch
having
Fortified
themselves
at
Amboyna
aforesaid
and
elsewhere
,
would
not
endure
it
,
but
warred
,
destroyed
,
and
massacred
both
English
and
Natives
,
as
well
as
Spaniards
and
Portugals
,
which
continued
there
and
at
Bantum
many
years
together
,
notwithstanding
sundry
overtures
of
Treaties
and
Debates
here
and
in
Holland
,
Anno.
1613.
and
1615.
but
all
to
no
purpose
because
the
Dutch
prevailed
still
in
India
more
and
more
untill
they
had
taken
there
most
of
the
said
Islands
,
and
twelve
Ships
,
with
about
eight
hundred
men
,
and
disposed
of
them
as
they
pleased
;
the
Fort
or
Castle
of
Seran
aforesaid
being
the
last
which
was
held
and
defended
by
the
English
and
Natives
one
and
twenty
days
,
but
the
Dutch
came
with
great
force
and
beat
away
the
Natives
from
assisting
the
English
,
and
then
they
were
constrained
to
abandon
it
and
aboord
in
May
1615.
which
gave
the
Dutch
great
incouragement
,
and
fair
hopes
of
attaining
their
proposed
end
,
to
gain
the
riches
,
honour
,
and
dominion
of
the
whole
vast
trade
of
India
to
themselves
,
still
observing
the
same
rule
,
knowing
thereby
how
to
expel
the
English
from
all
places
in
India
of
profit
by
degrees
at
their
pleasure
;
And
so
in
the
Prince
of
Auraunge
his
name
,
going
on
then
conquering
,
and
to
conquer
in
the
South-seas
,
as
now
they
do
in
the
North-seas
,
as
Mallabar
,
Cothen
,
Goa
,
India
,
Persia
,
Arabia
,
Red-sea
,
&c.
But
the
aforesaid
sad
news
coming
into
England
caused
a
treaty
here
with
the
States
of
Holland
,
Anno
,
1619.
and
there
upon
an
agreement
made
for
some
small
sum
of
80.
or
100000
l.
ready
mony
to
lose
2
or
300000
l.
per
annum
,
dreyned
ever
since
out
of
his
Majesties
Dominions
,
for
Nutmegs
,
Cloves
and
Mace
,
and
now
for
Cinamon
also
,
wherein
the
English
East-India
company
did
contract
as
I
was
informed
(
without
consent
of
King
or
Parliament
)
as
well
for
the
foresaid
Amboyna
Islands
,
surrendred
and
appropriated
as
aforesaid
;
as
for
the
Fruits
thereof
,
Nuts
,
Cloves
,
and
Mace
,
&c.
And
thereupon
a
mighty
joynt
stock
of
15
or
1600000
l.
was
here
speedily
procured
,
wherewith
the
English
at
home
(
especially
Grocers
)
hoped
for
wonders
in
concluding
2
/
3
parts
thereof
to
th●
Dutch
and
●
/
●
part
thereof
to
the
English
,
and
to
pay
there
further
in
ready
mony
1
/
3
part
of
their
charges
of
fortifying
;
which
the
Dutch
thereupon
having
power
in
their
own
hands
,
knew
very
well
how
to
make
use
of
such
a
blind
bargain
(
as
it
proved
afterwards
;
)
for
thereupon
the
Dutch
went
on
vigorously
with
their
Fortifications
for
themselves
,
making
them
both
many
and
strong
,
and
raised
their
accompts
to
such
an
unreasonable
height
(
as
they
did
afterward●
to
the
King
of
Zeloan
in
another
case
)
and
to
be
paid
forthwith
without
examination
,
delay
,
or
abatement
(
as
the
said
company
can
best
declare
;
)
insomuch
as
is
conceived
by
some
,
that
the
said
1
/
3
part
in
ready
mony
,
did
bear
the
whole
charge
,
both
of
Fortifying
and
Shipping
to
fetch
rack
rice
,
and
course
clouts
from
Mesulapatam
,
Siam
,
&c.
making
five
or
six
for
one
,
at
least
in
the
profits
thereof
to
pay
the
workmen
,
so
that
in
few
years
thereby
,
and
maintaining
a
Fleet
of
defence
,
and
the
like
;
the
aforesaid
great
stock
was
much
shattered
and
consumed
,
and
(
as
some
do
verily
believe
)
800000
l.
of
the
1600000
l.
never
returned
into
England
upon
a
profitable
account
,
which
exceedingly
advanced
the
Dutch
designs
.
And
during
all
the
aforesaid
Treaties
they
ceased
not
by
hostile
actions
to
subjugate
the
English
more
and
more
:
for
Anno
1620.
(
upon
some
pretence
)
they
made
prize
of
two
English
ships
,
the
Bear
and
Star
(
carrying
tidings
of
peace
,
having
freed
a
Dutch
ship
in
their
way
to
India
upon
that
account
)
and
used
much
severity
to
the
said
English
,
and
confiscated
ships
and
goods
.
General
Iohn
Coon
of
Battavia
;
saying
that
he
would
not
leave
an
English
man
in
India
before
he
had
done
as
Vantrump
of
late
(
though
contrary
to
his
own
judgement
)
would
sweep
the
narrow
seas
.
This
done
,
then
they
forced
the
English
Factors
from
Iapan
,
and
so
cleared
and
debarred
the
English
for
ever
after
for
having
any
Trade
or
Commerce

with
China

observe
that

with

and
Bulloine
more
then
sufficient
to
furnish
both
Dutch

English
in
their
East-India
Trade
and

,
though
the
Dutch
(
I
suppose
)
amount
to
3000000
l.
and
the
English
to
150000

this
year
1664.
(
as
a
Dutchman
reported
to
me
)
in
their
eleven
Ships
were
valued
at
4000000
l.
or
more
.
But
the
Dutch
in
India
not
yet
contented
with
this
limitation
of
the
English
,
viz
not
to
look
into
the
South-seas
beyond
Amboyna
,
upon
pain
of
confiscation
of
Ship
and
Goods
,
or
utter
destruction
:
the
foresaid
General
Coon
(
as
conceived
)
having
contrived
the
Amboyna
Massacre
Anno
1621.
came
for
Holland
to
palliate
the
same
by
friends
and
bribes
,
or
frivolous
,
or
false
pretences
,
and
left
Senior
Carpenter
General
at
Battavia
and
General
Spealte
at
Amboyna
,
to
see
it
put
in
execution
,
Anno
1622.
which
was
done
very
exquisitely
and
fully
,
and
so
abandoned
the
English
thence
to
Macass●r
a
Celebe
Island
where
they
could
have
but
what
small
quantity
of
Cloves
and
Mace
,
the
Molajans
or
Celebeans
could
procure
by
stealth
from
the
said
Islands
of
Amboyna
.
But
that
continued
not
many
years
neither
,
but
the
Dutch
by
degrees
did
intercept
and
prevent
the
same
;
and
to
that
purpose
was
imployed
one
Iohn
an
Italian
,
and
others
by
the
General
of
Battavia
with
commissions
for
that
design
;
and
the
said
Italian
being
become
a
Burgher
at
Battavia
aforesaid
,
who
upon
some
occasion
(
to
me
unknown
)
commenced
a
sute
against
President
,
Hawley
and
his
Council
,
which
they
conceived
by
the
aforesaid
Treaty
,
Anno
1619.
they
were
not
bound
to
answer
;
yet
notwithstanding
the
Dutch
there
proceeded
to
judgment
,
and
gave
the
said
Italians
6000
Rials
of
Eight
Spanish
,
for
damage●
,
and
the
aforesaid
General
Carpenter
sent
the
Captain
of
the
Castle
one
Adrian
,
who
came
with
a
File
of
Musque●eers
,
Halberts
,
and
two
Blacksmiths
with
Instruments
,
and
caused
the
English
ware-house
to
be
forced
open
,
and
so
much
mony
in
che●ts
to
be
carried
away
from
thence
as
satisfied
the
foresaid
Judgement
,
whereupon
President
Hawley
and
Council
aforesaid
,
sent
a
protest
to
the
Dutch
General
and
Council
aforesaid
against
their
proceedings
by
Mr.
Io
Cartwright
an
English
Factor
there
;
but
the
Dutch
General
aforesaid
,
would
not
receive
it
,
but
commanded
him
to
carry
it
back
again
quietly
,
lest
they
should
serve
them
as
they
did
the
English
at
Amboyna
;
and
it
had
certainly
been
done
if
the
Dutch
had
known
then
what
came
to
pass
shortly
after
;
for
General
Coon
not
long
after
his
arrival
at
Battavia
from
Holland
,
raised
the
Iavaes
customs
from
10
to
20.
per
cent
.
whereupon
the
Iavaes
made
war
upon
the
Dutch
which
they
undoubtedly
would
have
charged
upon
the
English
,
as
Combinators
,
and
Instigators
thereof
.
But
their
removing
to
Pantum
,
Anno
1627.
prevented
it
,
for
the
Iavaes
came
by
land
with
20000
men
,
and
by
sea
with
60
or
70.
Prows
,
Anno
1628
with
about
60
or
70.
men
a
piece
;
and
next
year
with
about
40
or
50000.
men
by
land
,
and
all
to
little
purpose
;
although
at
first
they
assaulted
the
Castle
,
and
killed
six
or
seven
Dutch
men
therein
,
and
knockt
at
the
Generals
chamber
door
,
(
as
reported
)
but
were
presently
●orced
to
fly
into
the
woods
,
and
thereupon
the
General
sent
to
us
English
(
being
but
two
)
to
lodge
on
the
other
side
of
the
River
,
lest
in
the
night
the
watch
taking
us
●or
Iavaes
should
shoot
us
,
which
we
did
.
But
I
having
no
mind
to
sleep
,
and
walking
in
my
chamber
in
view
of
the
said
English
houses
,
about
ten
a
clock
that
night
I
saw
two
men
,
the
one
seeming
to
me
a
Dutch
Skipper
,
the
other
a
Moor
or
Las●ar
with
long
poles
and
reeds
,
or
Cajans
fastened
thereon●
go
from
house
to
house
setting
them
a
fire
,
which
were
quickly
consumed
to
ashe●
,
being
built
and
covered
with
combustible
stuff
,
and
the
day
following
,
the
Dutch
searched
and
carried
away
what
remained
unburnt
,
as
Sword
blades
,
&c.
and
all
the
Brick
wall
compassing
the
said
houses
were
forthwith
pulled
down
and
laid
flat
with
the
ground
;
And
thereupon
the
English
President
and
Council
at
Bantum
,
made
another
protest
of
damages
for
200000
l.
Rials
of
Eight
Spanish
(
as
true
related
)
but
what
the
issue
thereof
was
,
is
su●ely
best
known
to
the
English
East-India
company
,
and
the
two
foresaid
English
going
afterwards
to
the
Dutch
General
to
crave
passage
for
Bantum
in
their
ships
(
amongst
other
discourse
he
took
occasion
to
s●y
that
the
English
knew
of
the
Iavaes
coming
,
but
they
did
well
to
be
gone
;
he
said
moreover
,
that
the
English
would
not
suffer
them
to
go
through
the
narrow
seas
,
but
about
Scotland
,
but
he
hoped
ere
long
they
would
go
thorow
whither
the
English
would
or
no
:
And
said
moreover
that
our
Masters
were
like
their
Masters
,
they
would
have
all
the
world
,
but
will
not
afford
the
meanes
to
get
it
.
And
the
King
of
Ternatte
aforesaid
,
(
one
of
the
Amboyna
Islands
)
sending
some
of
his
Orankaies
,
or
Noblemen
Anno
1627.
upon
some
message
to
the
Dutch
general
aforesaid
,
gave
him
the
title
of
captain
of
twelve
Castles
,
and
Commander
of
all
the
seas
in
the
world
.
But
the
said
General
(
like
enough
)
ruminating
how
to
revenge
himself
both
of
the
English
and
Iavaes
,
Anno
1632.
(
the

Dolphin
)
one
of
the
English
companies

Mr.
Thomas
Proad

having
taken
in●o
his

at
Iapara
seventeen
eminent
Iavaes
to
transport
them
to
the
red
sea
and
setting
sail
from
thence
towards
Bantum
,
when
he
came
thwart
Battavia
rode
a
Dutch
ship
,
boarded
him
,
and
entered
,
killd
and
took
prisoners
,
the
said
Iavaes
,
and
took
all
their
Jewels
,
Gold
,
and
Treasure
they
could
find
,
supposing
thereby
,
so
to
incense
and
exasperate
the
Iavaes
against
the
English
either
to
fall
upon
them
violently
,
or
expel
them
from
their
Factories
of
Bantam
,
and
Iapara
,
and
Iambe
that
the
Dutch
might
shut
them
out
of
the
streights
of
Sundie
as
well
as
Molacca
,
and
that
is
it

long
for

Observation
I.
By
pondering
and
well
considering
the
premisses
,
the
discreet
.
Reader
may
truly
perceive
and
understand
to
what
a
transcendent
height
of
soveraignty
,
power
and
opulency
the
said
Dutch
East-India
common-wealth
had
attained
36
years
ago
,
where
neither
English
nor
French
,
Dane
,
Swead
nor
Iannesses
,
as
well
as
Portugals
and
Spaniards
(
but
English
and
Portugals
especially
have
suffered
by
them
exceedingly
and
cruelly
:
)
I
say
not
any
of
the
foresaid
Nations
,
nor
any
others
under
Heaven
(
not
there
inhabiting
)
durst
then
look
or
sail
into
their
foresaid
south
seas
(
as
they
term
and
challenge
them
)
but
all
Nations
must
be
subject
to
seizure
,
and
confiscation
of
men
,
ships
,
and
Goods
,
to
that
insolent
and
a●bitrary
Government
,
notwithstanding
any
Treaty
or
Cont●act
made
here
with
the
States
of
Holland
to
the
contrary
,
which
are
but
nets
and
sna●es
to
delude
the
English
;
for
in
India
they
neither
are
nor
have
been
regarded
;
thereby
the
Dutch
as
former
and
later
experience
doth
suffi●iently
evince
,
having
always
their
Ships
ready
to
seize

Observation
II.
From
whence
the
discreet
Reader
may
further
gather
this
truth
from
the
Premisses
;
That
all
or
most
of
the
Dutch
Treaties
(
especially
those
relating
the
East-Indies●
their
Darling
Diana
)
are
either
Clandestine
Treasons
or
prepensed
prejudicial
Pollicies
,
to
abuse
and
circumvent
Kingdoms
and
Nations
to
reduce
them
to
reason
(
as
they
term
it
)
which
reason
of
theirs
will
never
be
satisfied
untill
they
have
subjected
the
trade
and
treasure
of
all
Countrys
and
Nations
upon
earth
,
to
their
unlimited
East-India
arbitrary
Government
,
to
bring
and
fetch
,
rule
and
rate
,
all
commodities
bought
or
sold
,
at
their
pleasure
and
price
;
and
then
to
put
in
practice
that
design
and
project
which
they
were
hammering
at
their
Town
of
Pollicatte
,
upon
the
coast
of
Mesulapatum
,
Anno
1628.
harkning
but
to
hear
the
word
from
Battavia
(
as
there
they
reported
)
which
was
,
viz.
First
,
to
sack
and
plunder
the
rich
Town
of
Mesulapatam
,
and
then
to
destroy
all
their
Vessels
and
Boats
upon
that
coast
:
And
it
should
have
been
done
had
not
a
brabling
pedling
Nation
(
meaning
the
English
)
stood
in
their
way
to
receive
some
profit
thereby
,
as
well
as
themselves
;
and
peradventure
they
have
used
this
pollicy
already
in
their
south-seas
of
Amboyna
,
China
,
Iapan
,
&c.
from
whence
they
might
send
for
Holland
such
a
large
return
this
year
1664
,
of
4000000
l.
(
as
some
report
)
much
more
hath
and
might
have
been
said
concerning
this
Subject
:
But
I
must
remember
my
promise
and
follow
the
question
propounded
more
closely
,
and
succinctly
.
Now
the
English
East-India
company
(
as
I
conceive
,
but
themselves
can
best
discover●
)
having
advanced
5000000
l.
or
more
in
several
joynt-stocks
,
and
purchased
no
place
to
secure
men
,
ships
,
or
goods
;
and
the
Dutch
but
one
sacred
stock
(
as
they
term
it
)
of
600000
l
Anno
1602.
And
the
English
Factors
and
Servants
in
India
as
aforesaid
being
so
tossed
,
tortured
,
and
ejected
out
of
their
best
Factories
and
Foundations
of
trade
;
And
his
Majesty
highly
abused
and
deluded
in
his
just
right
and
title
to
4
or
5.
of
the
said
Islands
of
Amboyna
as
formerly
exprest
;
Also
to
half
of
the
customs
of
Persia
,
as
well
as
to
the
Towns
and
Castles
of
Ormus
and
Cashme
,
which
the
Dutch
hitherto
by
their
power
refuseth
to
pay
,
though
justly
due
,
as
by
agreement
with
the
Persian
may
appear
,
which
is
of
very
great
consequence
:
And
by
these
great
abuses
aforesaid
and
otherways
much
of
the
said
1600000
l.
national
stock
was
spent
and
consumed
in
and
about
the
Fortifications
there
,
which
in
reason
ought
to
add
much
to
the
Interest
of
the
English
there
,
and
to
be
expected
from
the
benefit
of
the
Fruits
thereof
,
for
the
time
elapsed
,
which
would
amount
to
an
exceeding
great
sum
:
And
in
Justice
and
Equity
ought
to
be
required
and
satisfied
by
the
usurpers
,
and
wrongful
possessors
thereof
.
Thus
the
said
company
being
reduced
to
such
a
sad
condition
of
Commerce
losing
in
their
principal
adventurers
some
30.
some
40
per
cent
some
more
.
But
upon
their
addresses
to
his
late
Majesty
(
of
ever
blessed
memory
)
a
remedy
was
speedily
provided
,
And
a
new
company
of
adventurers
instituted
and
ordained
wherein
his
said
late
Majesty
was
pleased
so
far
to
express
his
interest
therein
,
and
affection
thereto
,
as
appears
by
admitting
them
to
wear
his
own
collours
constantly
,
and
honouring
the
said
company
with
a
royal
Signet
engraven
with
three
Crowns
and
a
Lyon
Passant
,
whereof
Sir
William
Courteen
(
that
famous
Merchant
)
was
appointed
Governor
and
Director
by
his
Majesty
and
Council
,
adventuring
therein
for
his
own
particular
(
inter
alium
)
80000
l.
and
the
said
company
was
constituted
and
ordained
by
his
said
Majesty
and
Council
in
the
best
and
most
legal
way
and
form
that
ever
yet
in
England
was
invented
(
which
the
Dutch
quickly
apprehended
)
and
with
so
much
wisdom
,
discretion
,
reason
,
moderation
,
and
modification
,
in
the
limitation
and
prescription
of
all
parties
and
interests
without
injuring
or
encroaching
one
on
the
other
being
in
strange
and
remote
Countries
and
places
where
the
English
had
no
Factories
or
Correspondence
of
Commerce
,
and
with
as
much
prudence
and
respect
as
any
reasonable
man
could
expect
,
desire
,
or
require
.
And
the
said
Sir
William
and

Anno
1635.
speedily

But
shortly
after
their
departure
from
the
Downs
,
the
said
Sir
William
fell
●ick
and
died
;
and
the
said
ships
proceeded
and
arrived
in
India
purchasing
Ports
and
places
for
Commerce
,
and
Customs
,
and
for
Fortifications
,
and
rendevouze
to
secure
the
same
;
which
the
old
Company
heretofore
never
did
.
And
by
this

in
the
very
first

,
the
said

losses

also
affording

many

their

with
necessaries

their

from
the
miserable
Mallabar

ever

proved
afterwards
in
many
respects
exceedingly
ingrateful
and
injurious
,
where
I
must
leave
them

hasten
my
search

after
the
Dragon

,
and
Katherine
aforesaid

finding
them
pursuing
their
honest
and
lawful
Imployments
,
but
passing
through
the
Straights
of
Mallacca
for
China
(
a
Town
and
Castle
taken
by
the
Dutch
from
the
Portugals
,
and
ever
till
then
free
for
the
English
to
pass
)
the
said
ships
were
there
presently
encountred
and
commanded
by
four
or
five
Dutch
ships
to
go
into
Mallacca
aforesaid
;
but
having
no
business
there
they
refused
,
the
said
Dutch
then
threatned
to
●ink
or
burn
by
their
sides
,
but
they
would
force
them
in
;
yet
the
said
Dutch
doubting
their
own
Strength
suffered
them
to
pass
but
with
terrible
Menaces
and
Threats
,
that
they
would
have
a
better
account
at
their
Return
:
And
when
the
said
English
with
much
perplexity
and
trouble
from
sundry
Nations
as
well
as
the
Dutch
,
had
finished
their
Affairs
in
China
aforesaid
,
they
returned
back
again
through
the
aforesaid
Straights
of
Malacca
,
and
then
they
were
encountred
again
with
a
greater
power
of
Dutch
ships
double
manned
,
and
by
them
sternly
commanded
to
go
into
Mallacca
and
speak
with
their
Governour
:
Captain
Weddal
and
the
rest
English
,
still
denying
to
obey
their
command
,
then
the
said
Dutch
shewed
their
Commission
,
which
was
either
to
bring
them
in
by
force
,
or
to
deliver
them
,
the
Portugals
and
their
goods
who
were
many
and
of
great
value
,
by
estimation
worth
200000l.
or
to
sink
or
burn
by
their
sides
,
and
thereupon
their
time
being
limited
,
&
a
glass
turned
for
the
English
to
give
their
answer
:
Then
Captain
Weddal
called
a
Consultation
,
and
debated
with
his
Captains
and
chief
Officers
what
they
should
do
,
wherein
were
different
Opinions
;
for
some
were
for
Fighting
the
Dutch
forthwith
,
as
Captain
Weddal
and
his
men
;
Others
for
delivering
up
the
Portugals
and
their
Goods
,
holding
it
neither
Valour
nor
Wisdom
to
venture
their
Lives
for
them
,
from
whom
they
had
received
many
Injuries
and
Abuses
,
as
Captain
Richard
Swanley
aforesaid
Vice-Admiral
and
his
men
,
whereat
Captain
Weddal
aforesaid
was
exceedingly
moved
,
and
thereupon
gave
Captain
Swanley
some
reproachful
and
uncivil
language
,
as
Coward
,
and
the
like
:
But
Captain
Weddal
falling
into
a
calmer
temper
,
Captain
Swanley
moved
him
to
call
for
the
Black
box
,
November
8.
wherein
were
instructions
from
the
Kings
Majesty
concerning
the
Portugals
,
and
there
they
found
to
this
,
or
the
like
effect
,
viz
:
That
if
they
hapened
to
receive
any
prejudice
,
or
damage
from
the
Portugals
,
to
take
their
remedy
by
what
means
they
could
get
it
.
Then
Captain
Swanley
aforesaid
,
moved
Captain
Weddal
aforesaid
further
,
and
said
;
that
if
he
Captain
Weddal
would
really
seize
the
Portugals
as
prisoners
,
and
their
goods
confiscated
to
the
King
of
England
for
the
injuries
and
abuses
they
had
received
from
the
said
Portugals
;
Captain
Weddal
should
then
see
and
finde
,
that
neither
himself
nor
his
men
would
prove
Cowards
,
but
would
freely
and
willingly
spend
their
dearest
blood
in
that
Quarrel
,
and
fight
it
out
to
death
to
the
last
man.
To
which
motion
,
Captain
Weddal
readily
and
speedily
condiscended
and
made
seizure
accordingly
.
Then
Captain
Swanley
in
the
ship
Sun
(
being
of
greatest
force
)
weighed
Anchor
,
and
went
and
rid
a
head
the
Admiral
,
purposely
to
receive
the
first
Assault
of
the
Dutch
;
and
before
the
glass
was
out
,
Captain
Swanley
carried
this
their
Resolution
and
Ground
of
the
Quarrel
,
and
Declared
the
same
to
the
Dutch
Commander
(
being
one
of
his
old
acquaintance
at
Amboyna
)
at
the
hearing
of
which
Message
and
Resolution
,
the
said
Dutch
Commander
was
much
troubled
,
fretting
and
fuming
,
and
tearing
his
hair
;
saying
,
he
had
no
instructions
in
that
case
,
but
must
go
in
again
for
new
,
and
that
he
was
sure
to
lose
his
head
when
he
came
to
Battavia
,
because
he
did
neither
burn
,
nor
sink
,
nor
bring
them
into
Mallacca
,
and
so
going
in
for
new
and
further
Instructions
,
came
out
no
more
:
And
the
Dragon
,
Sun
,
and
Katherine
,
proceeded
and
came
to
Goa
,
and
there
landed
all
the
said
Portugals
and
their
Goods
,
according
to
agreement
made
with
them
at
Maccao
in
China
(
but
contrary
to
that
pretended
seizure
,
and
Captain
Swanleys
expectation
)
and
the
said
Captain
Swanley
in
the
said
Ship
Sun
,
came
that
year
home
and
arrived
safe
in
England
,
but
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
staid
in
India
until
the
next
year
to
compleat
their
lading
.
But
when
the
Dutch
(
observing
the
Motion
of
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
)
understood
plainly
,
that
by
the
foresaid
pretended
seizure
,
they
were
meerly
deluded
and
disappointed
,
both
of
their
prey
and
purpose
,
doubtless
they
were
exceedingly
exasperated
and
inraged
;
And
it
was
not
their
Commanders
head
that
would
asswage
or
satisfie
their
Constant
and
Frequent
Bloody
and
Cruel
Malice
and
Revenge
(
as
former
and
latter
experience
plainly
remonstrates
)
but
when
the
aforesaid
Dutch●
Commander
came
to
Battavia
,
the
Sceane
was
altered
,
and
a
new
device
framed
to
destroy
them
altogether
,
and
not
suffer
any
to
live
to
bring
back
the
said
tidings
of
their
Destruction
.

Complied

and
assi●ted
the
for●said
King
against
the
said
Por●ugals
(
being
very
antient
in●abitants
there
)
and
undoubtedly
it
was
that
very

Fleet
going
upon
th●t
occasion
to
Coelon
(
before
the
Dragon
and
Catherine
set
saile
for

)
that
extinguished
,

most
barbarously
destroyed

those
two

and
Men
,
according
to
the
several
Relations
of
English
,
Portugals
,
and
Dutch
,
&c.
And
that
done
;
Then
the
said
Fleet
proceeded
upon
their
design
at
Coelon
aforesaid
,
where
in
few
years
after
,
they
conquered
and
vanquished
the
foresaid
Portugals
both
by
Sea
and
Land
,
and
took
and
surpriz'd
all
thrir
ships
and
goods
(
with
their
chief
Town
or
City
of
Collombo
and
the
rest
)
with
all
their
Castles

with
all
the
Good●
and
Treasure
;
Ordinance

Appurtinances
,
therein
and

and
so
quickly
possest
and
dispatcht
the
Riches
and
Subjects
of
two
Eminent
Kings
in
Europe
out
of
their
way
;
and
the
third
,
the
King
of
the
said
Island
and
his
Subjects
escaped
not
altogether
free
;
For
(
by
good
report
)
when
the
said
King
desired
to
know
their
demands
for
their
assi●tance
,
and
the
same
being
produced
,
the
said
King
was
thereat
much
amazed
and
said
,
that
he
and
all
his
Subjects
were
not
worth
the
one
half
or
quarter
of
what
the
said
Hollanders
demanded
,
(
notwithstanding
the
exceeding
great
plunder
and
booty
taken
from
the
English
and
Portugals
aforesaid
?
And
so
the
said
King
being
altogether
unable
to
sati●fie
their
said
demands
in
any
reasonable
measure
(
and
to
be
rid
of
them
,
as
he
once
well
hoped
,
but
they
never
intended
)
Therefore
the
said
King
was
constrained
and
necessitated
to
Submi●t
,
and
to
suffer
the
said
Hollanders
to
enjoy
all
the
Portugals
Towns
and
Castles
aforesaid
with
,
&c.
ut
supra
;
and
what
other
Ports
or
places
upon
his
said
Islands
they
desired
:
And
further
to
permitt
and
suffer
the
foresaid
Hollanders
States
,
to
conferr
a
Kings
Ship
upon
the
said
John
Tyson
,
as
an
extraordinary
Reward

,
he
came

coming

,
was
forced
to
strike
by
the

a

that

It

,
going
a
shoare
at
Cocheen
with
William
Gorley
,
the
Governour
of

Town

,
demanded
,
or
asked
him
(
among
other
things
)
whether
the
General
(
meaning
Captain
Weddal
was
arrived
in
England
with
his
two
Ships

to

they
answered
,
he
was
not
;
And
do
you
know
(
said
the
Governour
)
what
is
become
of
those
two
Ships
?
They
said
they
knew
not
;
then
said
he
,
you
must
know
that
they
were
sunk
by
the
Hollanders
about
Ceylon
;
They
asked
how
he
knew
this
;
To
which
he
answered
,
here
are
passed
through
this
Town
two
slaves
which
were
taken
by
the
Hollanders
,
and
made
an
escape
from

that

believe
it
to

They
also
asked
what

them

The

in
the
Bon-Esperanza
going
to
China
,
and
brought
prisoners
into
Mallacca
with
ten
wounded
men
which
lay
there
in
the
Hospital
,
where
they
found
a
Scotch-man
lying
sick
,
who
upon
his
dying
told
the
aforesaid
men
of
the
Bon-Esperanze
,
that
he
could
not
dye
before
he
had
declared
that
he
was
at
the
taking
of
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
,
which
were
going
from
India
unto
the
Cape
Bon-Esperanza
by
seven
Holland
Ships
which
coming
in
fare
by
Captain
Weddall
they
pretended
to
be
bound
home
,
and
invited
him
with
Captain
Carter
and
both
the
Mountneys
aboard
;
where
having
feasted
together
,
so
was
Captain
Weddall
and
his
Friends
brought
upon
the
Deck
,
and
told
they
must
into
the
Sea
,
whereupon
more
words
past
;
and
they
were
bound
back
to
back
and
thrown
into
the
sea
,
those
of
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
seeing
the
same
fit●ed
themselves
to
fight
,
but
were
taken
,
and
their
Ships
Robbed
,
and
then
with
(
all
the
men
remaining
alive
)
bored
and
let
sink
in
the
Sea
;
he
told
that
the
same
Fleet
came
to
Mallacca
,
afterwards
where
much
was
hid
;
the
rest
of
the
common
men
was
sent
for
the
Moluccoes
,
and
that
well
known
by
many
in
Mallacca
,
but
durst
not
speak
of
it
,
The
said
Lamberton
and
others
asked
the
Lievtenant
of
the
Town
about
the
same
;
but
he
answered
,
that
upon
their
liues
they
should
not
speak
of
such
things
.

Chyrurgion
of
the
Ship

employed
in
the
service
of
the
Worshipfull
Esquire
Courteen
,
Anno
1644.
in
the
Moneth
of
August
,
being
by
sinister
occasion
at
Johanna
,
in
the
Ship
Hopewell
of
the
old
Companies
,
at
which
time
also
was
the
Crispine
and
Dolphin
of
the
old
Companies
there
,
as
also
the
Loyalty
Mr.
John
Durson
Commander
,
belonging
to
the
Esquire
Courteen
,
had
this
following
Relation
of
the
Destruction
of
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
,
by
the
Dutch
as
follows
.
THe
said
Boat-swain
Wente
,
Boat-swain
of
the
good
ship
Dolphin
,
Mr.
Thomas
Proude
Master
in
the
said
Ship
,
1643.
upon
some
employment
went
from
Surratte
to
the
Southward
,
viz.
To
Cocheen
a
Portugal
Town
,
where
(
upon
what
occasion
I
know
not
)
having
some
conference
with
a
servant
of
the
Governours
of
Cocheen
concerning
the
Dutch.
The
man
told
him
of
a
fight
made
off
of
Ceylon
between
the
Dutch
and
English
,
viz.
Two
English
Ships
and
seven
Dutch
Ships
,
the
English
Ships
named
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
,
both
which
the
Dutch
overcame
,
sinking
the
one
and
forcing
the
other
a
shore
,
so
eagerly
prosecuting
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
.
Now
no
doubt
but
the
Dutch
have
projects
enough
to
conceal
this
Villanie
;
but
if
this
Relation
be
true
,
Gods
wonderful
power
is
evident
in
the
Discovery
,
for
this
servant
to
the
Governour
was
in
the
Dutch
Ships
at
that
time
in
their
service
,
when
they
fought
and
following
the
English
a
shore
(
he
being
one
among
the
Dutch
)
made
escape
to
the
Portugals
and
in
time
came
to
serve
the
Governour
of
Cocheen
.
This
is
the
Relation
that
I
heard
Boat-swain
Wente
Relate
,
and
indeed
I
went
aboard
purposely
to
inquire
of
him
about
that
business
:
I
desired
to
have
the
Relation
under
the
Boat-swains
hand
,
but
I
could
not
obtain
it
,
by
reason
partly
of
●is
unwillingness
,
and
partly
the
shortnesse
of
our
time
,
for
they
suddenly
set
saile
from
Joanna
,
Also
the
Boat-swain
said
the
Governour
of
Cocheen●nows
●nows
of
the
matter
,
and
upon
inquiry
(
if
he
pleaseth
can
produce
you
his
Servant
if
living
;
if
not
,
he
himself
is
able
to
give
satisfaction
.

his
Majesty
of

State

,
do
Certifie
,
that
being
in
Commission
in
the
Island
of
Ceylon
;
I
came
to
know
by
some
Prisoners
of
the
Hollanders
,
that
they
met
with
two
Ships
of
Captain
Weddals
,
which
were
going
from

for

,
and
that
the
Hollanders
took
them
towards
the
Cape
of

sunk
them
both
.

is
what
appears

FOr
when
the
said
Dutch
Commander
doubted
the
cutting
off
his
Head
;
in
stead
thereof
they
furnish
him
(
as
credibly
reported
)
with
seven
Sail
of
proper
Ships
,
four
greater
,
three
lesser
;
the
Ship
Amsterdam
about

Tun
burthen
being
Admiral
:
No
doubt
but
with
strict
Injunctions
utterly
to
destroy
the
said
two
Ships
,
Dragon
and
Katherine
and
so
preserve
his
Head
on
his
Shoulders
,
which
it
seems
by
manifold
reports
and
Instances
he
performed
very
Fully
and
Effectually
lying
in
wait
●or
them
with
his
said
Fleet
,
hovering
too
and
again
about
Caeloan
the
onely
Cinamon
Island

taken
by

Dutch
from

Portugals

Dutch
man
,
(
first

Scullion

(
or
some
such
thing
)
then
a
Skipper
,
and
at
best
a
Commander
)

years
,
&c.
and
knowing
well
what
course
the
said
two
Ships
Dragon
and
Katherine
would
steer
for
England
,
having
sufficient
Intelligence
and
Spies
abroad
to
observe
their
motion
,
and
to
bring
them
word
when
and
at
what
time
they
set
saile
from
Goa
and
the
Coast
of
Mallabar
,
whom
the
said
Dutch
Fleet
unhapily
discovered
,
and
hailing
one
to
the
other
,
who
and
whether
bound
according
to
the
manner
of
the
Sea
;
Captain
Weddall
answered
of
White-hall
for
England
,
as
by
his
Colours
appeared
?
The
Dutch
answered
of
Battavia
,
homward
bound
for
Holland
,
and
so
seemed
glad
of
one
anothers
company
,
and
as
commonly
reported
in
India
,
they
kept
company
some
reasonable
time
until
they
had
them
at
sea
farr
enough
from
any
Land.
And
when
the
Dutch
saw
their
opportunity
,
they
invited
Captain
Weddall
and
Captain
Carter
with
their
chief
Officers
,
in
friendly
manner
aboard
their
Admiral
,
the
Ship
Amsterdam
aforesaid
.
And
when
they
had
eaten
and
drank
sufficiently
,
the
Dutch
suddenly
clapt
a
guard
upon
them
,
and
Seized
,
Pillaged
and
sunk
the
said
two
Ships
Dragon
and
Katherine
,
wearing
the
King
of
Englands
Colours
,
and
bound
the
English
back
to
back
and
threw
them
all
over
board
(
as
in
India
and
else
where
frequently
reported
)
and
this
was
the
final
and
dismal
conclusion
and
confusion
of
the
aforesaid
two
Ships
,
Dragon
and
Katherine
,
valued
at
180000l.
besides
their
Commanders
,
Marchants
and
others
,
men
of
great
Quality
and
Reputation
,
who
doubtlesse
had
very
great
estates
therein
.
Afterwards
the
Ship
Bona-Esperanza
in
the
same
Imployment
,
and
in
the
said
Straights
of
Mallacca
,
was
there
violently
assaulted
by
the
said
Dutch
,
killing
and
wounding
the
Master
and
many
others
,
but
the
Portugal
Passengers
calling
for
Quarter
,
the
ship
was
enterd
and
seized
on
by
the
Dutch
,
some
of
them
saying
to
the
Chyrurgion
and
other
English
in
the
said
ship
,
viz.
They
did
well
to
yield
when
they
did
,
else
they
had
gone
after
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
,
and
Carrying
the
English
Prisoners
a
shore
,
towing
his
Majesties
Colours
at
their
Boat
stern
(
as
reported
.
)
A
Scotch
man
a
shore
lying
very
sick
,
very
earnestly
,
desired
to
speak
with
some
of
the
English
;
And
it
was
to
inform
them
,
that
he
was
in
that
sad
action
of
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
,
and
his
conscience
therefore
was
exceedingly
troubled
and
afterwards
died
.
Then
the
Great
William
,
Captain
Ieremiah
Blackman
Commander
upon
the
same
Imployment
,
and
in
the
said
Streights
of
Mallacca
was
likewise
assaulted
and
sore
threatned
by
the
said
Dutch
,
but
doubting
their
own
strength
,
he
passed
them
going
to
China
,
but
they
way-laid
his
return
with
seven
Ships
,
they
supposing
and
expecting
that
for
fear
he
would
have
gon●
through
the
Streights
of
Sundie
at
the
Souther
most
end
of
Sumatra
&
so
to
catch
or
tole
him
to
sea
without
ken
of
land
as
they
did
the
Dr●gon
&
Katherine
,
&
pretend
themselves
a
homeward-bound
Fleet
;
and
when
they
had
seen
their
opportunity
if
not
to
carry
him
to
Battavia
,
confiscate
Ship
and
goods
which
had
been
as
great
courtesie
as
he
could
expect
from
them
,
or
else
to
have
sent
him
and
his
Company
to
seek
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
in
the
bottom
of
the
sea
,
for
presuming
to
sail
in
their
South-seas
without
their
leave
;
but
he
steering
an
unexpected
courfe
,
by
,
or
near
the
Shore
in
sight
of
Mallacca
happily
escaped
them
.
Now
to
conclude
and
finish
this
Disquisition
concerning
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
,
and
to
discover
the
plac●
into
which
they
are
sent
,
and
the
parties
who
sent
them
;
our
next
and
l●st
work
is
to
produ●e
our
Indi●●●●●
and
proofs
that
it
is
so
really
and
indeed
,
wherein
it
is
well
hoped
that
better
evidence
will
be
asse●ted
and
produced
,
th●n
in
su●h
a
case
could
well
be
expected
or
required
.
Some

Indi●i●es
and
Proofs
,
concerning
the
destruction
of
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
.
I.
THe
diligent
observation
of
the
constant
Series
of
the
Dutch
in
the
Insolent
actions
,
and
cruel
proceedings
of
their
States
General
in
their
East
India
Vpperlands
and
United
Provinces
of
Amboy●●
and
Buttavia
(
Alias
,
New
Holland
)
and
in
their
continued
Prosecution
of
English
and
Portugals
;
Abinitio
,
driving
them
(
like
Sheep
or
Jac-cauls
by
their
high
&
mighty
power
)
out
of
all
profitable
places
of
Trade
as
aforesaid
,
in
order
by
degrees
to
expell
them
out
of
India
,
not
daring
to
look
beyond
Cape
Bon-Esperanza
.
As
also
their
contempt
and
de●ision
of
all
Treaties
and
Agreements
made
with
their
States
of
the
Netherlands
concerning
any
matter
or
thing
beyond
the
●aid
●ape
,
as
may
appear
not
onely
by
their
neglect
of
all
former
Treaties
,
and
Waring
and
Wronging
there
,
while
treating
here
(
as
I
conceive
)
at
this
instant
with
the
King
of
Bantum
,
meerly
to
drive
the
English
out
of
their
Pepper
Trade
at
Iambee
;
but
also
it
appears
by
their
General
I.
Coones
expression
,
Anno.
1●20
.
to
the
Commanders
and
Company
of
the
English
Companies
;
two
Ships
,
Bear
and
S●ar●
,
saying
,
that
they
would
not
leave
an
English
man
in
India
before
they
had
done
;
And
Anno
,
1628.
When
the
said
Coon
was
st●led
by
the
King
of
Ternatte
Captain
of
Twelve
Castles
,
and
Commander
of
all
the
Sea●
in
the
World.
And
afterwards
two
English
men
craving
passage
for
●a●tum
?
He
the
said
General
●oon
replyed
,
aud
said
,
the
English
would
not
suffer
them
to
go
thorow
the
N●rrow
Se●s
,
&c.
But
he
hoped
ere
long
to
go
thorow
whether
the
English
would
or
no
,
&c.
as
by
Remonstrance
appears●
and
said
moreover
,
that
the
English
East-India
Company
like
theirs
,
would
have
all
the
World
,
but
not
afford
them
the
means
to
get
it
,
&c.
II.
That
long
before
the
Amboy●a
Massacre
,
they
had
debarred
the
English
from
having
any
Commerce
with
China
,
Iapan
,
or
Phillipeen
Islands
the
Spaniards
.
And
ever
after
that
Massacre
,
not
to
sail
b●yond
the
Celeeb
Islands
,
or
Macasser
upon
confiscation
of
ships
and
goods
,
and
incurring
their
further
displeasure
;
wherefore
some
English
knowing
this
,
and
that
the
Dutch
were
in
good
earnest
for
their
own
advantage
,
for
it
was
4.
or
500000l●
per
an
.
profit
to
them
,
and
2.
or
300000l
l
,
per
annum
loss
to
the
English
ever
since
,
by
loosing
his
Majesties
Right
(
and
Merchant●
Trade
)
●herefore
refused
to
go
that
Voyage
with
Capt.
Iohn
Carter
Commander
of
the
Katherine
,
for
this
very
Cause
and
Danger
,
els●
very
willingly
would
have
accepted
of
the
Motion
.
III.
That
Rebellious
and
wicked
agreement
made
in
India
,
(
and
afterwards
Printed
by
Authority
in
England
,
and
Affidavit
upon
O●th
likewise
made
before
a
Master
in
Chancery
)
between
the
Dutch
and
English
,
utterly
to
destroy
that
exceeding
hopefull
Imployment
of
Sr.
William
Courte●●
Kt.
William
Courteen
Esquire
his
Son●
and
the
rest
Adventurers
into
East
India
,
by
Seizing

Sinking
,
Burning
,
or
otherwise
;
wherein
the
Dutch
diligence
was
very
remarkable
in
all
the
said
Esquires
Ships
that
went
for
China
,
for
certainly
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
suffered
as
aforesaid
,
and
the
Ship
Bon-Esperanza
also
,
and
the
Sun
and
Great
William
very
narrowly
escaped
;
neither
was
the
said
English
at
home
or
abroad
,
altogether
idle
as
in
time
convenient
may
further
be
declared
.
IV.
The
Relation
of
Captain
Richard
Swanley
concerning
that
last
passage
of
Seizure
of
Portugals
and
their
Goods
in
the
Streights
of
Mallacca
,
whereby
the
said
Dutch
were
so
enraged
and
exasperated
,
that
they
hunted
violently
to
destroy
the
said
Dragon
and
Katherine
as
the
said
Captain
feared
,
as
by
the
aforesaid
Relation
more
largely
appeareth
.
V.
The
Relation
of
Captain
William
Swanley
,
who
being
in
Holland
,
Anno
1638.
when
the
Dutch
East
India
Fleet
arrived
;
and
the
said
Dragon
and
Katherine
was
then
expected
:
As
the
said
Captain
was
drinking
with
a
Friend
,
there
several
Dutch
men
doing
the
like
,
and
onely
a
slight
thin
Deal
board
between
them
,
some
other
Dutch
men
enquired
;
What
news
of
Captain
Weddall
?
They
answered
that
he
was
sunk
and
Drowned
.
The
said
Captain
hearing
this
,
presently
desired
to
be
satisfied
more
fully
;
therefore
he
went
to
those
Dutch
men
newly
come
from
India
and
enquired
of
them
,
but
they
were
very
shie
and
would
not
discover
it
any
further
;
onely
they
told
him
they
heard
it
was
so
,
and
that
it
is
all
one
,
for
none
but
their
own
Countrey
men
could
tell
them
so
,
and
it
will
admitt
of
no
other
construction
,
but
that
it
was
so
indeed
;
which
amounts
to
a
plain
discovery
by
their
own
open
and
free
Confession
for
the
one
or
the
other
,
must
actually
be
present
actors
in
the
said
Destruction
.
VI.
The
Relation
of
Iohn
Stratford
a
Cord-wainer
in
Southwark
(
and
Kinsman
to
Mr.
Daube●ey
Chyrurgeon
of
the
aforesaid
Ship
Katherine
)
and
for
whom
the
said
Stratford
had
caused
to
be
made
,
an
Imbroidred
Girdle
with
Silver
Buckles
;
which
Girdle
the
said
Chyrurgion
,
promised
never
to
part
with
for
love
or
money
.
And
this
said
Chyrurgeon
was
well
and
in
good
health
,
when
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
aforesaid
set
sail
for
England
(
as
the
men
in
the
Ship
Mary
coming
then
from
India
aforesaid
report
.
)
But
afterwards
the
said
Iohn
Stratford
saw
two
Dutch
men
in
Southwark
,
going
from
one
Gold-smiths
shop
to
another
upon
their
occasions
,
and
espied
one
of
the
said
Dutch
men
to
have
or
wear
the
very
same
Girdle
,
and
enquired
of
the
said
Dutch
man
,
how
he
came
by
the
said
Girdle
,
and
where
he
had
it
?
for
said
Stratford
,
I
know
it
very
well
;
The
said
Dutch
man
somewhat
abashed
at
the
question
,
at
last
told
him
he
had
it
in
India
;
I
thought
so
replied
the
said
Stratford
,
you
are
one
of
the
Rogues
that
sunk
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
.
And
the
said
Stratford
intended
to
have
had
him
before
a
Justice
,
but
his
VVife
and
other
Friends
diswaded
him
;
then
came
he
to
the
Secretary
of
the
East
India
Company
Richard
Swinglehurst
(
not
knowing
Esquire
Courteen
)
who
laughed
at
the
news
(
as
the
said
Stratford
related
;
)
and
so
that
discovery
rested
for
further
prosecution
.

The
Relation
of
Senior
Lues
Rib●ro
,
an
Eminent
Portugal
Merchant
at
Goa
,
who
said
that
a
Gentleman
and
friend
of
his
(
which
lay
then
●ick
in
one
of
their
Castles
)
who
told
Agen
Farren
,
if
he
would
send
to
him
,
he
could
make
a
perfect
discovery
of
the
said
Ships
:
and
likewise
one
Thomas
a
Must●zoe
who
s●rved
the
Portugal
Governour
of
Coucheen
,
who
was
also
in
that
action
;
besides
the
common
relations
of
Moores
,
Gentues
and
Mallabars
;
but
what
the
said
Agent
●●rr●n
did
therein
is
to
be
unknown
,
for
I
was
then
upon
occasion
sent
to
Rabagge
,
and
afterwards
for
England
.

The
Relation
of
Thom●●
H●●ton
Chyrurgion
of
the
ship
Bona-Esparanza
and
others
therein
,
who
said
that
when
the
Dutch
entered
and
had
poss●ssion
of
their
said
ship
;
some
of
the
Dutch
sailors
said
to
the
said
Hi●ton
and
others
;
They
did
well
to
yield
as
they
did
,
else
they
had
gone
after
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
;
and
moreover
a
Bootch
man
when
they
were
in
Malacca
being
there
very
sick
,
and
was
in
that
action
desired
earnestly
to
speak
with
some
English
man
,
who
told
them
(
as
they
said
)
that
his
Conscience
was
much
troubled
,
because
he
was
in
that
sad
action
and
destruction
of
the
said
Dragon
and
Katherine
.

Memerandum
,
12.
December
,
1664.
Master
Newman
said
in
the
Custome-house
London
,
that
one
came
to
Mr.
Gurley
and
himself
(
being
Dutch
Prisoners
at
Malacca
)
and
desired
that
some
English
men
●ould
go
to
speak
with
a
sick
man
there
;
for
the
said
sick
,
earnestly
desired
it
:
so
Mr.
Gurley
and
Mr.
Newman
sent
Thomas
Lamberton
and
some
others
,
who
returned
this
Message
from
the
said
sick
man
,
that
his
Conscience
troubling
him
,
and
that
he
sent
for
them
to
tell
them
that
he
was
at
the
sinking
of
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
by
the
Dutch
,
and
that
the
said
Dutch
bound
all
the
English
back
to
back
and
threw
them
over-board
,
according
to
the
Relation
of
Mr.
Hinton
Chyrurgion
,
Richard
White
and
others
,
&c.

The
Relation
of
Richard

seven
of

con●●ssed
to
him
they
were
in

that
destroyed
the

,
and
that
there
were
Nine

Forty

from

as
the
said
Dutch

related
.
XI
.
It
is
the
opinion
of
some
,
that
the
English
Presidents
of
Suratt
,
Mr.
Methwould
,
Mr.
Fremblin
,
and
Mr.
Brittain
,
and
other
their
Factors
there●
could
all
,
or
most
of
them
have
made
a
clear
discovery
thereof
(
as
well
as
one
of
them
,
Mr.
Iohn
〈◊〉
)
but
being
co●●ceived
to
☜
●e
combi●●●
〈◊〉
with
the
said
Dutch
in
th●
general
destruction
,
and
seeming
well
pleased
●herewith●
therefore
an
uncharitable
silence
did
possess
them
,
whose
case
even
now
might
be
th●●
own
(
if
God
and
the
Kings
Majesty
prevent
it
not
)
but
the
〈◊〉
adventurers
are
sure
to
suffer
mo●●
;
and
●●●ing
that
formerly
through
their
great
ignorance
and
●upi●e
,
and
inconsiderate
Government
,
and
Management
of
that
weighty
Affair
of
such
High
Concernment
and
Consequence
;
so
it
is
,
that
they
(
of
Merchants
)
have
been
doubtless
the
greatest
Friends
and
Promoters
of
the
said
Dutch
designs
,
and
consequently
the
greatest
enemies
to
the
Land
of
their
Nativity
,
as
his
late
Majesty
of
ever
Blessed
Memory
,
seemed
excellently
to
apprehend
in
the
Preface
of
his
Majesties
Pattent
under
the
Great
Seal
of
England
,
made
to
Sr.
William
Courteen
and
the
rest
adventurers
therein
.
But
I
presume
that
the
least
of
these
Indicia's
and
Proof●
,
(
being
all
of
them
Voluntary
and
Free
)
are
of
greater
Force
and
Efficacie
,
in
the
Judgment
of
any
understanding
and
upright
Reader
.
Then
the
greatest
or
all
those
empty
and
pretended
cruel
,
and
extorted
Indiciaes
,
and
proofs
produced
and
alledged
by
the
Dutch
in
their
proceedings
against
His
Majesties
Subjects
,
whether
the
innocent
English
or
Natives
at
Amboyna
or
elswhere
.
Further
Reasons
to
satisfie
the
Reader
,
and
refell
Objections
.
Reason
,
I.
☞
THat
it
was
never
known
before
this
(
that
ever
I
heard
of
)
that
ever
two
ships
together
English
or
Dutch
,
going
or
coming
to
or
from
India
,
perished
by
stress
of
Winds
or
Weather
.
Reason
,
II.
That
there
was
eight
Ships
or
Pinnaces
more
lost
at
Sea
belonging
to
that
Expedition
,
yet
not
a
word
or
relation
of
any
one
of
them
to
sail
by
such
Destruction
.
Reason
,
III.
That
it
was
more
Impossible
or
Improbable
by
Land
,
to
conceal
the
burning
of
the
English
Houses
and
Stores
at
Battavia
in
sight
of
Ten
Thousand
people
,
and
not
one
of
them
since
discovering
the
same
(
that
ever
I
heard
of
,
)
then
to
conceal
the
sinking
of
the
Dragon
and
Katarine
.
Rex
&
Regina
Beati
.
ALL
these
Indiciaes
and
Proofs
seems
Superfluous
and
needless
;
seeing
the
Dutch
Combinations
,
Actions
,
and
constant
Obstructions
,
their
Combinations
,
Hostile
Seizures
,
and
Bloody
Depredations
are
fully
evident
,
and
good
and
sufficient
proofs
of
the
Premises
.
The
Lading
of
the
Dragon
and
Katherine
,
for
the
Adventurers
onely
estimated
,
180000l.
The
loss
of
Trade
,
Factories
,
Plantations
,
for
the
Adventurers
onely
estimated
at
,
120000l.
The
loss
of
particular
Persons
in
two
Ships
,
being
men
of
quality
and
good
Estates
,
—
For
Murthers
,
Massacrees
and
Loss
and
Destruction
of
Trade
to
Posterity
,
being
onely
matters
of
State
,
are
most
humbly
left
to
His
Majesty
and
others
under
Him
,
in
Highest
Power
and
Authority
.
Some
special
Annotations
further
to
explain
the
Premises
,
(
viz.
)
THat
this
East
India
War
and
Dutch
Design
,
began
about
sixty
years
ago
,
and
continues
to
and
at
this
very
day
;
witness
the
Town
and
Castle
of
Cocheen
in
India
,
lately
taken
by
the
Dutch
from
the
Portugals
:
Also
the
Dutch
new
Waring
against
Bantum
,
to
drive
the
English
from
thence
and
from
their
chief
Pepper
trade
at
Iambe
,
and
so
shut
them
clear
out
both
of
the
Streights
of
Sundye
and
Mallacca
.
That
this
Dutch
War
now
●ageth
not
so
much
as
formerly
for
want
of
prey
to
feed
upon
;
having
long
since
destroyed
both
the
power
and
profit
of
English
and
Portugal
,
to
the
exceeding
enriching
of
their
Netherlands
or
old
Holland
by
the
one
,
and
of
their
Vpperlands
or
new
Holland
by
the
other
,
to
such
a
high
and
transcendent
degree
of
Pride
,
Riches
,
and
Power
,
insomuch
that
the
lading
of
their
Eleven
Ships
this
year
,
1664.
from
their
foresaid
new
Holland
,
home
to
old
Holland
;
some
of
their
own
Nation
reported
to
be
worth
4000000l.
or
more
15.
or
1600000.
being
formerly
their
usual
annual
return
.
That
the
Dutch
now
having
made
an
absolute
Conquest
of
all
the
South-East
Seas
of
Asia
and
Affrica
(
half
of
the
whole
Universe
from
Iapan
and
China
,
to
Cape
Bon-Esperanza
Thirty
Thousand
miles
Coasting
,
and
reduced
the
Subjects
of
at
least
Thirty
Emperours
,
Kings
,
Princes
,
and
Governours
,
to
the
Dictates
and
Rules
of
their
own
Arbitrary
Power
and
Protection
,
without
any
Dispute
or
Contradiction
;
And
all
this
in
the
Prince
of
Aurange
his
Name
.
Now
they
treen
about
the
foresaid
Cape
and
meeting
there
with
their
Neatherlands
,
West
India
Company
☜
(
with
whom
uniting
and
combining
together
)
endeavour
to
carry
on
and
propogate
the
said
old
War
and
design
into
Europe
and
America
(
the
other
half
of
the
whole
Universe
)
with
Confidence
and
Assurance
of
like
success
.
And
Subtilly
and
Slily
striking
at
the
root
and
main
obstacle
,
viz.
The
Command
of
the
English
Narrow
Seas
;
having
already
(
as
themselves
and
others
conceive
)
the
Command
of
all
the
Seas
in
the
World
besides
:
And
thereupon
they
frame
a
causless
Contest
and
Demand
concerning
some
injuries
and
damages
(
as
they
pretend
)
lately
done
upon
the
Coast
of
Guinnie
and
Cabo
Verde
;
wherein
they
are
proved
to
be
the
first
and
onely
trespasses
:
But
by
the
blessing
of
the
Almighty
upon
the
Vigilence
,
Care
,
and
Prudence
of
His
now
Majesty
,
their
secret
design
is
at
present
put
to
a
stand
,
they
being
peradventure
in
further
Expectation
of
a
large
supply
from
their
Vpperlands
of
Forty
or
Fifty
Tall
Ships
of
inestimable
value
by
April
or
May
next
;
and
in
the
mean
time
use
some
Delatory
,
Pretences
,
or
Treaties
.
But
seeing
His
Majesty
,
with
the
happy
concurrence
of
his
Royal
and
most
Valiant
and
Magnanimous
Brother
His
Highness
the
Duke
of
York
,
and
Lord
High
Admiral
of
all
His
Majesties
Forces
by
Sea
)
with
the
Unanimous
Assistance
of
a
Wonderful
,
Discreet
,
and
Loyal
High
Court
of
Parliament
Representing
the
whole
Nation
;
May
apprehend
great
Hopes
and
Incouragement
in
this
so
Transcendent
and
Mighty
Undertaking
,
against
such
Powerful
and
Politique
Universal
Enemies
(
especially
of
England
;
)
and
who
may
compare
their
Conquests
by
Sea
,
with
the
Great
Turk
by
Land
,
and
allow
him
Ten
foot
for
One.
I
say
to
reduce
this
People
☜
to
Right
Reason
,
is
onely
the
work
of
the
Almighty
,
and
of
the
King
of
Great
Brittain
,
his
Instrumental
and
most
Valiant
Vicegerent
;
no
other
King
or
Prince
under
Heaven
,
being
sufficient
in
apprehension
to
Weild
their
Weapons
,
and
to
dispute
this
most
Noble
and
Just
Cause
with
them
at
Sea
;
and
to
this
end
,
A
Voice
seems
to
be
heard
from
Heaven
,
in
His
Majesties
most
Glorious
and
Triumphant
Restauration
,
without
one
drop
of
Blood-shed

To

Chastize
these
Rebellious

Ingrateful

and
Cruel
People
for
all
their
Actions

seems
as
it
were
to
point
with
his

And
lastly
,
Considering
that
by
the
continual

of
the

to
any
rational

may
seem
evidence
sufficient
to
prove
the
fact
,
especially
appearing
so
plainly
to
proceed
from
prepensed
malice
,

revenge
.

by
a
multitude
of
voluntary

free
Indiciaes

Relations

to
prove

themselves
;
besides
Mores

all

Therefore
,
whosoever
will
not
believe

neither
would
they
(
without

)
believe
if

should
