THE ROYAL MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCE OF ORANGE TO THE peers AND Commons in England, To advertise them of some dangerous Plots of foreign Enemies, undertaken by Don Keevalo Caris, and others, to invade this kingdom. With his desire, that all the Ports and Cinque Coasts be fortified with strong arms and Ammunition. As also how he freely proffered himself to resist both them and the Irish rebels. Prnted for Tho. Powel. 1641. A royal Embassage from the Prince of Orange to the well affected subjects in England. We having maturely considered of the disloyal opposition, which have been reflected on our Father, the manifold endeavours of your unwearied vigilancy, and the obstacles that interrupt the same, with the multiplicity of distractions wherein your kingdom 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 struck a repercussive grief and careful solicitation into our Princely mind, as soon as we had intelligence concerning the same; and that their Stratagems might prove abortive, for the prevention thereof we thought good to show our zealous duty to his majesty, our respective affection to his Parliament▪ and the future security of his royal Throne and realm. And first we predictate unto you the obscurely hatched conspiracies of the King of Spain, the object of whose sole intents have principaly aimed at the destructive ruin of your Nation: we have had credible intelligence, that he is suddenly resolved to raise a strong and formidable navy (scarce inferior 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 hast and credible assertion of the same. Don Pedringano likewise (my singular and intimate Friend) did certify the same unto me: Wherefore we lovingly, yea and obsequiously too, premonish you to be circumspective and cautious: For to our certain 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 kingdom, which both do violently threaten a most precipitious destruction; My intent is not mysterious or enigmatical, but rather very perspicuous to be interpreted. I mean this Frenchmen, who, like the Egyptian Locusts who are resolved to swarm in the realm suddenly, and so imbrue their inhuman hands in the off●sive blood of the Protestants. These with the auxiliary assistance of the rebels in Ireland, being link confederates, and once conjoined in the cruel concatenation of tyrannical conspiracies are able to precipitate the whole kingdom at one stroke, if God's omnipotent and do not ave●t it, and your vigilant endeavours prevent it. Sed mal orae speramus, we hope and expect a more happy, favourable, and propitous event to Yet notwithstanding without any 〈◊〉 procrastinati●n we humbly beseech for yo●r own safety particularly, and the Epidemicail security of the whole kingdom, that you would with Judicious maturity of Cou●cel● serious●y c●●sider the perilous precedent 〈◊〉 and you may then cl●●te, that the 〈…〉 very dangerous. W●erefore 〈◊〉 ●●sp●ct our humble our humble advice that you woul● be gr●ciously pleased to 〈…〉 the chief Coasts and Cinque Ports with Military arms, and strong Ammunition in defence of the kingdom, 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, lest any intestine plot should be somented at home. As also, that all Military Ammunition be provided, and it be forthwth ordered, that the train Bands should daily wait for prevention of any conspiracy that should ensue. Thus as we have presented our present care and indulgent solicitation for the safety and welfare of the kingdom: 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 majesty's pleasure and Just Command, without repugnance and opposition; for a distracted variance betwixt a King and his subjects, is the first Ground and principium of confusion to a Nation. Therefore we humbly imlore your honours to conjoin with his majesty in a reciprocal concord, that the knot of peace and tranquillity may be tied so securely fast, that all the hell-guided Conspiracies of foreign Enemies may be annihilated and abolished. That you would likewise endeavour to concatenate the affections of the people to his Majesty, that his royal Prerogative and imperial Throne be not violated, and trampled down by the malicious aspersions of such as are ill affected and dangerous persons in the realm. That the divisions and distractions in the kingdom may be allayed and assuaged, to the comfort of his majesty, the honour of his Parliament, and the perpetual peace and prosperity of the realm. In the mean time my diurnal prayers assiduous Supplica●ions shall be invocated upon the mighty and Almighty assistance and auxiliation of God that all your deliberations and determining counsels may be directed to the right object, And for my part I will confirm 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 foreign Enemies: And for the Irish rebels we shall labour to qualify, and by God's divine providence assisting us we shall crown England with an Olive Branch of Victorious tranquillity in the kingdom. His majesty's Consent for the Princess Mary's going to HOLLAND. And her majesty to accompany her thither. HIs majesty being very much pressed by the state's Ambassador to send the Princess his Daughter immediately into Holland: And being likewise earnestly desired by his royal Consort the Queen, to give her majesty leave to accompany her Daughter thither; hath thought fit to consent to both desires, and to make this his majesty's resolution known to his parliament.
