A DIURNALL OF SEA DESIGNES which is as strange as true RELATING WHAT great preparations many mighty Forraigne Princes have now upon the Ocean no man knowing for what intent or purpose WHEREIN IT MAY be perceived that the case is pittifull when so many dangers are floating about our ears befor wee can heare of them WRITTEN FOR A WARNING that though feares and jealousies be necessarie yet it is more necessary to lay them in their right places Not unprinted betwixt Yorke and Beverley By W. H. August 30 th LONDON Printed for W. S. 1642. A DIVRNALL OF SEA DESIGNES which is as strange as true Relalating what great preparations many mightie Forraign Princes have now upon the Ocean no man knowing for what intent or purpose IT is not to be conceited or conceived that there are great divisions in England at this time nor can it be imagined that any man that hath wit or sence will thinke that there is any strife or contention amongst us or that there are two parties in opposition the one well affected and the other malignant All this is not to be thought and it were well if it were but to be thought But the more is the pitty these things are certainly too apparent and too true and therefore they are past thinking though every man that is indued with Christianity or humanity cannot but continually have in memory the manifold perturbations and distractions that do molest the Kings Majestie the Honorable Court of both Houses of Parliament and generally three whole Kingdoms both in Church State and Common-wealth All or the most part of which troubles do proceed from feares and jealousies of which too many of them are supposed Chimeraes with very few or non realities mingled with them so that the maine of all our disturbances is the want of faith and confidence that either Subjects should have in their Soveraigne or the Soveraigne in his Subjects And though they seeme and more than seeme to differ yet they all do agree in every fundamentall Point for which they contest The King protests and will keepe his word that He will live and dye in the Profession of the true Protestant Religion and for the suppression of Popish Superstition that all former Lawes made since the time of King Edward the sixt and to be made against Romish Priests and Recusants shall be in full force executed against them All which the Parliament agrees to with a full consent so all parties are agreed and yet they disagree The King protests to maintaine the Lawes Rights Liberties of His Subjects with the Priviledges of Parliament The Subjects and Parliament and all agree with the King in these things yet for all this they agree not The King most heartily desires to Rule and Reigne in Piety towards God and with such Love and Peace amongst His people as may be for His Honour and their most security and all this the Parliament desires and yet they are at distance The King is most unwilling to have any Warre with His Subjects and He knowes that side which so ever winnes yet He must be the loser therefore He would not have the bloods or lives of His people lost or hazarded in any Civil Warre All which the Parliament do most humbly pray and lab●ur for and yet there are Armies raised and mighty preparations for defence of each of them from the oppositions of the other The King would have distressed Ireland speedily relieved and Reduc'd and the Rebellious Papists conformed or confounded All which the Parliament do in all humility desire and take extraordinary care and paine● to accomplish and yet for all this they are at difference So that though they do agree in all matters yet upon the matter they agree in none But fears and jealousies and malignant parties are of each side who do infuse causlesse distrusts betwixt them to the excessive charge and mollestation of all There are also weekly Diurnalls some true some foysted as some of the wiser sort may take this for one but this is all Sea-businesses which may breed fears and jealousies and suggest dangers if they be not rightly understood as first on Monday THis day newes was brought to the Bull at Barn●t in the County of Westmerland That a Troope of French Horse entred to surprise the Isse of Wight under the command of Mounsire Shackatroone but neere the Islands of Garnsey and Iarsey they met with a Fleet of Turkish Gallyes in number sixteene and twenty and 〈◊〉 a sharpe fight of sixe houres the horses had the better of it and drave the Gallyes into the Island of Silly where they were presently surprised by the Natives their horses were deperly shod with Corke and as it may be supposed landed neere to the Town of Shoteham in Devonshire what their intents were is not yet knowne but yet to prevent the worst it is not amisse that we have fears and jealousies of them Tuesday ABout three of the Clocke in the afternoon before dinner there was a small Brigot of 1500 Tun in Burthen loaden with Letters from the Pirates of Argetere to the Pope it is thought that those Letters do treat of an agreement in Religion between the Turke and his Roman Catholique holinesse And truly they do not much differ upon the maine point for they are both enclined to thrust Christ out of the Church and the one of them hath entertained Mahomet and as for the other hee hath Sants and Reliques enough of his owne making to patch up such a religion as neither Christ nor his Apostles ever knew of Wednesday ALl this day the winde blew hard at Northeast by South and Southwest and by North by which meanes Ketches and fish eboates had almost lost their Tydes whereby the Haven of Billingsgate was doubtfull of the Arivall of the fleet and the whole Citie and suburbes in Hazard to have no Oysters But the winde shifted about East North-west that by good fortune all our feares were ended at twelve pence a peck so much other good meate as did serve for that day Thurseday IT is Reported that the Queene of the Sheba was upon the Sea with sixe Galloones 12. Carrackes and many shippes Galley Asses and Asses Galley the fleet being in number of great and small threescore and thrteene The newes was knowne by a strang Accident of a Tempest that happened upon the Coast of Ginny where one of the shippes being overladed was forced to lighten her of her burthen by casting much goods overbord of great value amongst the rest therewas a heavy trunk which sunk and was swallowed presently by a Grampus which is a young whale There then being in the said Trunk a Case of Ethiopians strong waters the case breaking in the Trunk made the Grampus drunke so that he never left tumbling reeling and rowling till he ran himselfe a ground neere a place called Cliffe in Kent three miles from Gravesend where the huge fish was token at low-water and being ripped up the Trunke was found with the Queenes great Seale in it and some notes that there was 200. Tunnes of Gold in the fleet besides other treasure It is not yet knowne to what Coast she is bound therefore it is wisedome to let her alone till we know further in the meane space the Constable and Churchwardens of Claffe can certifie the whole truth of this matter Friday THis Friday two Dunkirks shippes would faine have taken sixe Holland shippes but feare of beeing taken themselves they retired into their owne Haven or den of the●ves by which meanes certaine Barrells of Butter some Holland Cheeses and and Pickled Herrings were safely brought to London Saterday NEws came of 200 saile of shippes and Arguseyes with other vessells were newly Rig'd victaul'd and man'd in Spaine and it is Reported that the Spanyards are such kinde people that they with the rest of the Romish catholiques do wish England so well that they doe earnestly desire to have it All for which purpose they have made a damnable stir in Ireland and a mad quoile in England of which there is great hope there will be a happy conclusion and for the which let us expect and humbly pray to that power of powers who is the one and only peace-maker Nor let any man make a doubt of this forementioned diurnall for it will be proved upon the Oathes of as honest men as either the Writer or Reader is that all herein is as true as some 20 of the Penny Pamphletts that are daily bought and sold in the streets by the new Ragged Regiment of Tatterdemalian Booke-sellers There is newes brought also since this Diurnall was printed that some fishing Sailers or Marriners did most felloniously steale all such Ropes out of the Kings shippes as are called Sprttsaile Bolemis to the great preiudice of their being steared right for many doe feare that the said shippes will hardly fetch their Helmes as they should doe But the Theeves were taken and after great examination they were found guilty and because some of them were married men Batchellers and some Appentises they were adjudged to three severall punishments the married men were Doomed to be at their wives disposing and be allowed every meale at home a messe of Moundring broth sealding hot and they should never have meate drinke or cloathes without love credit or Ready money The Batchellers were sensured to have each of their heads placed betweene a paire of Eares and the Apprentises were never to be seene or looke upon but under the eye-browes I know it is a dangerous matter to speake wisely and therefore for mine owne safety I will write this Diurnall to such as are troubld with the simples It is a deare yeare of witt But Abuses are exceeding plentifull as God knowes And the King Parliament Church State and poore Commons have all joy ●●ly and severally so much woefull experience The Reader may expect more newes the next Dyurnall if Letters be not Intercepted FINIS
