The Copy of a Letter from the Staple at Middleborough in Holland, to Mr. VANRODE a Dutch Merchant in London.  
SIR, the sixty odd pounds of Bever amounting near upon 400. Rix Dollars I lately sent you being intercepted and seized on by the King's Fleet, I shall be contented to bear an equal share of the charge of Custom, or by any other loss you shall sustain through the default of my Shipmaster or any of his in this behalf, more I hope you will not desire considering my unwillingness in hazarding it in these troublesome times of danger, etc. we might very well have stayed the transportation thereof for one Month longer, which then might be safely transported and convoyed by five or six States men of War, which are all ready for the bringing over of an Ambassador from the King of Denmark to the King of England, he came to the Queen's Court at the Hague upon the 20. of December, the Prince of Orange being at Breda, accompanied the Ambassador all through the Country, and brought him to the Queen's Court, who was royally entertained, and intends forthwith to come for England, his Embassage to his Majesty is privately concealed, only this the K. of Denmark desireth the States of Holland, that they would be pleased to assist the King with such forces by Sea as shall be answerable to those which he shall provide by Land, in warring against Tunis, Argier and other places, concerning a late breach of Pacification in detaining our Countrymen still Captives and Slaves, though their Ransoms have been paid in a very large contribution. Colonel Goring is traveled into Ortoys and Flanders to raise forces of Men and Armour, he having a Commission from the King of France to take a certain number from each Garrison, for the Queen and present supply for England. Colonel Gage who is Colonel over the English in Flanders, gave Colonel Goring a Challenge for presuming to beat up his Drums to flock away his Officers and Soldiers, nevertheless the soldiers being poor and long behind of their contribution money agreed, and five or 600. English followed Colonel Goring to Dunkirk, Newport, Ostend, and Gravelling, where they now remain, till they be Shipped for England, there hath been great means to the States that these Soldiers might be permitted to pass through their Country and so take shipping for England, but the Queen nor the Ambassador can prevail with the States for their consents therein. I have also here set you down the sums of money raised amongst the Priests, Jesuits, Seminaries, Friars, Nuns, and holy Sisters through the land, and paid in to the Jesuits of St. Omers his College towards the maintenance of his Majesty's wars. And first as in order the English Cloister at St. Omers, the Jesuits have raised 3000. pounds, besides the Taxes they have imposed upon every Scholar 5. l. a man being about 400. and that if any shall refuse the payment thereof to lose their Degrees in the House, and be for ever discharged for having any future benesit therein: in which College the sum collected amounts about 3500. l. Secondly at Airs, the sum collected amounts unto 500 l. Thirdly, at Beteone, the sum collected amounts unto 500 l. Fourthly at Arras, the some of 2000 l.  
Fiftly at the University of Douai, 1000 l.  
Sixtly at Gaunt, between the College of English and Irish Priests, and the Matron of the Nuns there, was Collected 500 l.  
Seventhly at Durmount, 50. l. Eightly at Bruzels, from the Countess of Westmoreland, and the Lady Babthorpe, Matrons of the holy Nuns, and the three Cloisters English, Irish, and Walloons, 3000. l. Ninthly at Louvain, 1000 l.  
Tenthly at Bridges, 300. l. Eleventhlily at Casteele, 200. l. twelvely at Newport, 200. l.  
Thirteenth at Ostend, 100 l. Fourteenth at Gravelling, 100 l. Fifteenth at Dunkirk, 500 l. all which sums amounteth about 15000. l. have been Collected and in the hands of Father Browne the Head of St. Omers Colleges, besides 5000. l. more gathered from the Governors of every Town, Village, or petty Dorp, which makes the sum of 20. thousand pounds, all which is intended to be transported to his Majesty from Dunkirk, besides the weekly allowance the Colleges will disburse towards the maintenance of the five hundred Soldiers under the command of Colonel Goring, during his Majesty's wars with the Parliament.  
The Rebels of Jreland have had also ne'er upon sixty thousand pounds already sent them, & an Irish Ambassador is again sent to Bruzels entreating the state for more moneys, which as yet we hear nothing of a second supply. The great Bishop of Cullen is lately dead, which puts the Country in a great disorder, an Italian is since Chosen. And thus much as I have set down is the common discourse at the Queen's court, and whither her Majesty intendeth to go over with the Denmark Ambassador is not certainly known, here is a great dissension between the States and the Prince of Orange, which makes the Prince leave his Court at the Hague and continueth at Breda with One thousand of horse and foot, & seldom or never comes to the Queen's Court though her Majesty have often sent for him, I cannot certify more as this we shall remove our Staple from hence to Delft.  
From Middleborough the 19 of Decemb. 1642. Your obliged and trusty friend, JOSIAS KEELING.
