Exceeding IOYFUL NEWS FROM THE NARROW-SEAS . SUch is the fine Wits in this our Age ( Right gentle and courteous Reader ) that nothing can passe current without Controll , except it be rare in Conceit , or excellent for Art : But this following Relation which I will describe unto thee , although it be not set forth in Eloquent Speeches , yet it is reported for certain and credible Tydings , amongst many men of great Estimation . There hath bin for these many years divers ships scouting upon the Narrow Seas , from forreign Countries with false and counterfeit Colours , and great preparations there is made by Neighboring Princes , both by Land and Sea : so that this Kingdom cannot be secured , unlesse a timely course be taken both by Sea and Land . But for security of this Kingdom , the Lords and Commons in this present Parliament assembled , taking it into serious consideration , gave Order to the Right Honourable the Earl of Northumberland , Lord High Admirall of England , forthwith to give effectuall Direction , that all and every the ships belonging to His Majesties Navie , which are fit for service , and not already abroad to bee with all speed rigged : It was likewise Ordered , that the Earl of Warwick should go Vice-Admirall over His Majesties Navie Royall , whose very Name maketh his Foes to tremble , even the proudest , hautiest , and most insultingst Enemy against Great Britain . For Warwicks Valour doth their rage appease , The Name of Warwick Scours the Narrow Seas . He went himself in person in the Royall ship called the James and hoysted vp saile with most puissant courage toward the Narrow Seas who being past the Peer of Dover he espied some certain ships not far distant from him . Who making towards them , they sayled away with all speed , not daring to withstand him ; so that our greatest Enemies dares not strike Sail neer Britains Coast . Hath not the Lord often delivered this Royall Kingdome of England from the forreign Invasions of the Hostile and Bloud-thirsty Spaniard , he hath with his strong Arme sent his sharp Arrows amongst them , slew and overthrew them to the immense glory of his sacred Majesty ; so likewise hath noble Warwick , whose very fight made all his foes to fly He hath scoured most part of the Narrow Seas , and hath sent two of His Majesties ships to the Coast of Ireland , so that there cannot any Relief come to the Rebels , without the hazarding of ships , goods , and all therin , which maketh glad the sorrowfull hearts of that Kingdome , being likewise comfortable Tydings to the Protestants in this Iland . And touching the Noble Earls discreet wisedome , in ordering and disposing of His Majesties Fleet , both for the security of his Majesties Royall Person , the quiet and content of the Honourable Houses of Parliament . He with a prosperous Gale , plowed the vast Bosome of the Narrow Seas , the curling waves seem'd proud to bear his dancing vessels . So vertuous Honour fild his couragious heart , and prompted him to chase the Turkish Pyrat from our shore ; Now Merchants may send forth their wealth securely , and never dread the Robers of the Sea . The Names of every ship belonging to His Majesties Navie Royall , in this last Expedition , 1642 IN the James , the Right Honourable , the Earl of Warwicke .
