should be payed be the Rebells: and endeid, I beleave, they
are readie enough to serve the parliament for pay, whither the
King declare against them or not: the advantage to the King
is clear, that it wilbe easie to seaze upon their shipps as well
those that trade with Spain and the Straitts, as those that
trade with Rowen.
It would be considdered what a prejudice it may draw upon the
King’s aftaires, if such slighting and partiall dealling from this
toun, and the Rebels heir, should be tolleratted in this nick of
tyme, when his Matie enters to the prosequetion of his interests.
It would be lykwyse considdered that it is a high slighting
of his Maties authoritie, to deny him the persons of any of his
subjects in this toune, to the which they are directlie obleiged
by vertue of the treattie, and durst never deny to any of his
predecessors.
I would think it expedient the King should instantlie de¬
mand the persons of Isaack Lee, deputy, together with Henrie
Crespe and Robert Palmer, Marchants of the Companie, who are
the persons that were apprehended in the King of Denmarks
bounds, by the Kings loyall subjects as above mentioned.
It will fright this people extremlie if they marke that the
King is displeased with them, so that if his Malie wilbe pleased
to declare against them, and send his orders to me to that
effect, I am confident they will instantlie condiscend a con¬
siderable soume of money for the Kings uses: and I shall dis¬
pose of the orders, as the King shall be pleased to lay his
Gracious commands upon me. As I shall be answerable.
Since the wrytting of the premisses I have understood be
their own lawyers (as Liuftenant Colonell Jones knowes) that
the toun of Hamborgh never committed such ane injustice (to
their memorie or knowledge) as they have now manifested in
this busines, and that their must needs ensue badd conse¬
quences upon it.
