A33387	Clavell, Robert, d. 1711.	His Majesties propriety and dominion on the Brittish seas asserted together with a true account of the Neatherlanders insupportable insolencies and injuries they have committed, and the inestimable benefits they have gained in their fishing on the English seas : as also their prodigious and horrid cruelties in the East and West-Indies, and other places : to which is added an exact mapp, containing the isles of Great Brittain and Ireland, with the several coastings, and the adjacent parts of our neighbours / by an experienced hand.	1665.0		.xml	application/xml	34614	627	38	THe Combinations and Endeavours of the States General of the United Provinces against His Majesty , and this Nation have been so insupportably Insolent , that the Parliament not long since , upon the Cry of the whole Nation , did sollicite him to take some extraordinary way to give Redress unto his Subjects for the many and daily Injuries they sustained from them by their Depredations at Sea , for the Horrid and Barbarous Cruelties inflicted on them in the East and West-Indies , which being as odious in their Nature , as they are remarkable in their Number , have been the onely Cause that these pains are taken to give a general satisfaction to the World , by exhibiting this Brief , but most true Account of His Majesties Undoubted Right , and sole Propriety in the English , Scottish , and the Irish Seas : A truth as Antient , as it is Eminent , and not only held forth and attested by the Laws of our Land , and the Records of the Tower , and the High Courts of Parliament , but heretofore confessed also by divers of their own Nation , as in this Book you shall find it faithfully represented to you ; And that the Dominion of the Seas , is properly in the Power and Jurisdiction of the King , may appear by those Tributes and Customes that were Imposed and Payed for the Guard and Protection of them ; The Tribute called the Danegeld , was paid in the Time of the English Saxons , which amounted to four shillings upon every Hide of Land , for the defending of the Dominion by Sea. Roger Houerden affirmeth , that this was paid until the Time of King Stephen .	cache/A33387.xml	txt/A33387.txt
