Prnted for Tho. Powel . 1641. A Royall Embassage from the Prince of Orange to the well affected Subiects in England . WEE having maturely considered of the disloyal opposition , which have been reflected on our Father , the manifold endeavours of your unwearied vigilancie , and the obstacles that interrupt the same , with the multiplicity of distractions wherein your Kingdome is dangerously involved did forthwith according to our indulgent affection , think it expedient to premonish and advertise you of the numerous perils which are imminent and impendent over you ; it strooke a repercussive griese and carefull sollicitation into our Princely minde , as soone as we had intelligence concerning the same ; and that their Stratagems might prove abortive , for the prevention thereof wee thought good to shew our zealous duty to his Maiesty , our respective affection to his Parliament ▪ and the future security of his Royall Throne and Realme . And first we predictate unto you the obscurely hatched conspiracies of the King of Spaine , the object of whose sole intents have principaly aimed at the destructive ruine of your Nation : Wee have had credible intelligence , that hee is suddenly resolved to raise a strong and formidable Navie ( scarce inferiour to that almost Invincible Armado ) and with a rushing and unexpected throng invade the Land . Don Pedro affirmed this to be true , and hath conducted many paper-messengers to Us concerning the absolute astipulation and credible assertion of the same . Don Pedringano likewise ( my singular and intimate Friend ) did certifie the same unto mee : Wherefore we lovingly , yea and obsequiously too , premonish you to be circumspective and cautious : For to our certaine knowledge Don Keevalo Caris is in great preparation to ruse and augment his Fleet , as appeared by the Notions of our dearest Friends , But besides this trap , there is likewise a dangerous snaredistended against your Kingdome , which both doe violently threaten a most precipitious destruction ; My intent is not mysterious or enigmaticall , but rather very perspicuous to be interpreted . I mean ths Frenchmen , who , like the Egyptian Locusts who are resolved to swarme in the realme suddenly , and so imbrew their inhumane hands in the off●sive bloud of the Protestants . These with the auxiliary assistance of the rebels in Ireland , being link confederates , and once conioyned in the cruell concatenation of Tyrannicall conspiracies are able to precipitate the whole Kingdome at one stroke , if Gods omnipotent and doe not ave●t it , and your vigilant endeavours prevent it . Sed mal orae speramus , wee hope and expect a more happy , favourable , and propitous event t Yet notwithstanding without any 〈◊〉 procrastinati●n wee humbly beseech for yo●r owne safety particularly , and the Epidemicail security of the whole Kingdome , that you would with Judicious maturity of Cou●cel● serious●y c●●sider the perillous precedent 〈◊〉 and you may then cl●●te , that the 〈…〉 very dangerous . W●erefore 〈◊〉 ●●sp●ct our humble our humble advice that you woul● bee gr●ciously pleased to 〈…〉 the chief Coasts and Cinque Ports with Military Armes , and strong Ammunition in defence of the Kingdome , for otherwise nothing can be expected but ruinate and precipitate destruction . Likewise , that you would gravely consider and appoint , that the City of London be strongly provided , and the Tower soundly searched , least any intestine plot should be somented at home . As also , that all Military Ammunition be provided , and it be forthwth ordered , that the Traine Bands should daily waite for prevention of any conspiracie that should ensue . Thus as we have presented our present care and indulgent sollicitation for the safetie and welfare of the Kingdome : so likewise we presume to commend respectively our petitionary desire to your Honours : First , that your Honours would be graciously pleased to condescend to his Maiesties pleasure and Just Command , without repugnance and opposition ; for a distracted varience betwixt a King and his Subiects , is the first Ground and principium of confusion to a Nation . Therefore we humbly imlore your honours to conioyne with his Maiesty in a reciprocall concord , that the knot of peace and tranquility may be tyed so securely fast , that all the hell-guided Conspiracies of Forraigne Enemies may be annihilated and abolished . That you would likewise endeavour to concatenate the affections of the people to his Majesty , that his Royall Prerogative and Imperiall Throne be not violated , and trampled downe by the malicious aspersions of such as are ill affected and dangerous persons in the Realme . That the divisions and distractions in the Kingdome may be allayed and asswaged , to the comfort of his Maiesty , the honour of his Parliament , and the perpetuall peace and prosperity of the Realme . In the meane time my diurnal prayers assiduous Supplica●ions shal be invocated upon the mighty and Almighty assistance and auxiliation of God that all your deliberations and determining Councels may be directed to the right obiect , And for my part I will confirme my resolutions , and am fully intended to assist you with my full power and Forces ; and I shall likewise diligently endeavour to repel and detrude those forraign Enemies : And for the Irish rebels wee shall labour to qualifie , and by Gods divine providence assisting us we shall crowne England with an Olive Branch of Victorious Tranquility in the Kingdome . His Maiesties Consent for the Princesse Maries going to HOLLAND . And her Maiestie to accompany her thither . HIs maiestie being very much pressed by the States Ambassador to send the Princesse his Daughter immediately into Holland : And being likewise earnestly desired by his royall Consort the Queene , to give her majestie leave to accompany her Daughter thither ; hath thought fit to consent to both desires , and to make this his Maiesties resolution known to his parliament . FINIS .
