BROTHER , WEE are here at the Hage , but in little better case , as touching feares and Iealousies , then you are in England : true , the matter of the Prince of Orange is seemingly composed , I wish I could say ended , fire raked up , may possibly appeare , yea and flame : The States will not trust him with monies , and paying of the Armie , as formerly : but will set up and create a new Officer for that purpose : this sometimes discontents his Highnesse : the Governor of Bergen ap Zome , that Towne of so great strength , being once a neere servant to his Highnesse , and brought up a long time under him , in very neere services , and preferred unto that great place of Trust by the Princes mediation : him would the States now very faine remove ; but the talke goes here , that he will not hearken to it , having that great garrison firme on his side ; as it is feared upon too iust grounds ; the Prince hath all the Armie , so that wee are not yet heere quite cleer of all surmizes of after-claps : the Burgers in the Townes , plainly give out , that they feare the Prince hath been aforehand with them : and one of the Burgemasters of Flushing , openly in my Mr. the Princes presence Chamber , told my Lord Goring , in my hearing , that they had iust cause to feare , that the Princes Sons Marriage with the eldest daughter of the King of great Brittaine , had set the Prince on such a high straine , that shortly hee doubted either their ruine or his owne : pray God things may stand as they were , for unwonted aspiring thoughts , produce many times enterprizes more pleasing then successfull , if distempers should againe breake out heere : I thinke wee must be forced to come visite you in England : truth is , the States Generall have never the better opinion of the Prince of Orange since this Match , some thinke the worse : nay , their usuall respects are something coulder toward my Lady , and Master , who I dare say upon my oath , is heartily grieved for this distance , and discorrespondencie between the Prince and them , and hath no interest or partnership , but sorrow in it , and who must needs reape disconvenience by it . and may account this to the rest of her crosses : the Queens entertainment at the Hage , is in my very soule more royall then heartie , the Dut●h liberalitie is almost at an end : and the Queens entertainment begins to slaken with them : only his highnesse holds on his wonted noblenesse in chearing her : they set her Maiestie a day , that they would be rid of her , if so it please or stand with her occasions : Proclamation against your Parliament delinquents , forbidding them strictly to repaire hither during her Maiesties abode here upon paine of imprisonment , and sending back into England with strict guard , hath been here published in all Townes and dominions of the States : yet two have bravely adventured to kisse her hand , who came hither wonderfully well disguised , and walked nor openly in Court , lay in the Prince of Oranges owne lodging , and after two dayes took their leave either for France or Brussels : God knowes the Queene is very narrowly watched here , as a Personage of her quality may bee , and I durst pawne my life the Parliament hath some agents here meerly to attend that businesse ; and three of them are in my Conscience , L. O. S. S. I H. Her Maiestie would have gone first to Cullen , to have attended upon her Mother , then to Brussels , but was denied ; the Prince of Orange seemed very forward to accomplish her desire in both , as farre as lay in his power ; but he was not so forward , but she found the Dutch as froward , who absolutely denyed in plaine termes , studying all the wayes they can to gratifie , and complie with your Parliament , not caring who they displease , so they satisfie them ; I verily thinke , the Queen as the matter stands , will not trouble them long heere , and that yee shall have her in England yet a good while before Easter . Thus hoping your welfare , and all our contents from his Highnesse Court at the Hage this present Friday , March the Eighteenth , I remaine your ever true loving Brother , and Servant , Wil. Newton .
