publique thanks to be given and Te Deum to be sung in all Churches Hopes to revenge the late defeat given by the Lord Therimicourt and desire to do some valiant act before he departed from his Government made the Marquess of Leganez governour of the Spanish forces at Estramadura give an Alarum to the Portuguese Frontiers and enter into the Country with two thousand horse and 6000 foot but the valiant Count of St. Laurence assaulting him forced him to retire with shame and excuse himself that he marched out onely to meet the Marquess of Mortare who was appointed to succeed him in the Government Yet this small and worthless Alarum made the King of Portugal who knew that too much care could not be had of the safety of his Kingdom to send Orders to the Governors to look more exactly to the countries committed to their charges then formerly and strictly to give charge to Don Iuan de Menezez Governour of Porto The Viscount Ponte de Lima Governour of the countries between Douro and Mimbo to the Count of Arogna Governor of Trasmontes and Don Roderigo de Castro Governour of Beira to repair with all expedition to their several Commands Nor was his Majesty less careful of his dominions abroad then of those neer home which made him dispatch the Baron of Alviro to be Governour of Tanger and D. Franciso De Norogna to Mazagan both strong Forts in Africa the last of which had been neer surprized by the Moors of Barbary but the Commander of that party which assaulted it being slain by a valorous French-man they were beaten off with loss for which service the King bestowed upon the French-man a pension of six hundred Crowns per annum And whilst His Majesty was distributing his bounties he could not forget the Lady Dona Maria Manuel widdow to the some-time before deceased D. Antonio Coello D. Caravallio who had ever since His Majesties coming to the Crown been one of His Privy-Councellors and was one of the chief persons that went Ambassadors into France to renew the Alliance and conclude a firm League between the King of Portugal and Lewis the thirteenth King of France His Majesty therefore in consideration of his services bestowed a valuable pension on his aforesaid widdow There was almost dayly inroads made upon the Frontiers in some places or other amongst the rest the Baron of Themericourt entred with a strong party into the Spanish Territories surprized the Suburbs of the City of Albuquerque and brought away a very rich booty without the loss of so much as one souldier upon the place and not above twenty wounded The succor of the distressed Subjects of the more distressed King of England about the year 1650. gave occasion to the King of Portugal to manifest his affection to the English Nation which he did by giving assistance to the gallant Prince Rupert who being by His Majesty of England made Admiral of those few ships which in the year 1648. returned to their Allegiance had ever since been pursued by the more poâ—ent Fleets of the English Rebels and was now by them driven to seek the protection of his Portugal Majesty who notwithstanding that the Fleet of the Rebels with threatning Bravado's demanded the said Kings leave either to assault them in his port or to force them to come out bravely protected them under his Castles In revenge of which the Rebels of England who stiled themselves a Parliment proclaimed an open War with the Portugal Nation which His Majesty notwithstanding his great engagement at that present both against the Spaniards at home and the Hollanders on the other side the Line resolved to endure rather then deliver up the faithful Subjects of England into the hands of Murther Tyranny and Treason and therefore in part to cry quittance with the English who had taken Prize several Ships belonging to this Nation he made seizure of all the English Ships and goods within his whole dominions but onely those he had before protected But at length Prince Rupert finding a clear passage from out his ports where he had for many months been blocked up the King by reason of his other large expences in defence of his Kingdom finding himself unable to maintain a War against the English and nature dictating us to the preservation of our selves resolved more moved out of necessity then inclination to send an Agent into England to conclude a peace The person deputed to go on this unpleasant imployment viz to court Rebels was D. Suarez de Gimeraines who had for his assistance and interpreter Mr. Myles and English Merchant these two embarqued upon a Hamburger hired for that purpose by the King of Portugal arrived in England in Ianuary 1650. About the beginning of Feburary D. Suarez had audience before a Committee of the pretended Parliament to whom he made a Speech in Latine to this effect THe Serenissimo King of Portugal my Master sends me hither to the Parliament of the Commonwealth of England that on his behalf and in his name having first most friendly saluted you as I now do with the greatest affection of my heart that I am able I may joyntly tender and make known to you the Royal desire which my Master feels within himself to conserve and more and more to knit the knot of that Amity which uninterrupted hath ever been between the Serenissimo Kings of Portugals their Ancestors and this renowned English Nation It being my part to endeavor what lies in me to remove all obstacles that may hinder the most vigorous effect of this hearty union and conjunction of minds so to preserve inviolably the ancient peace between us This I come to continue hoping and wishing all happy success therein this I come to intimate and offer unto the Parliament of the Commonwealth of England with that sincere and pristine affection which hitherto the experience of many ages hath made manifest Nor shall you need to scruple the sincerity of my intention and purpose by reason of the divers past attempts not to say fights between your power and ours since they have not been such as have broken or dissolved our amity nor have had their rise or approbation from the King my Master nor as we believe from the Parliament of the Commonwealth of England but more probably carried on either by the impulse of their own private affections or by the defect of that circumspection which in such cases is ever necessary But as I hope particularly and fully to prove indeed to demonstrate this truth unto the Parliament of the Republique of England so I am assured they will not onely rest satisfied therein but shall also have accruing to them a newer force and sence of mutual friendship between us since the jarrs that happen amongst friends are oftentimes justly accounted as certain redintigrations of love And I do admire our enemies have not made this reflection whilst fed with vain hope they have thought it in their power to sow and
foment discords between us upon presumption of this trivial innovation The King my Master sends me to continue and preserve our common and ancient peace whereof I am to make a render unto the Parliament of the Commonwealth of England in His Majesties behalf as proceeding from a perfect sincerity in his Royal breast and whereunto he is chiefly drawn by the motive of his singular esteem and love he bears unto this English Nation And this as the main point I shall recommend unto you both in regard of your greater good and ours and as a thing of highest concernment that we reflect how little it can be pleasing to Almighty God and how derogatory it must needs be to our reputation on both sides to give the least beginning of discord between two Christian Nations so well affected to one another as we are It is manifest unto the Parliament of the Commonwealth of England and to all Europe besides in how wonderful a manner such as was onely possible to God the King my Master was restored to his Kingdoms and how the divine Majesty whose handy-work this was doth by his especial care and grace defend and continue this restoration Which as it doth dayly more appear by the victories we have over our enemies at home so again it is seen in our remotest and most distantial dominions in the East-Indies where even at a huge distance His Majesty possessing the hearts of his people enjoyes that greatest peace in the world and is secure in Affrica relying thereupon his prosperous and happy powers To conclude the King my Master lest any thing should be wanting to render him compleatly happy hath according to the wish of an ancient Christian Author for securing the prosperity of the Roman Empire a faithful Senate puissant Armies and a most obedient people Fortifications in the judgement of wisest politicians conducing and necessary both to defend and increase Empires and Kingdoms Now in this good condition of not onely gaining and conserving friends but also of vanquishing our enemies the King my Master loves and embraces peace as the chiefest good amongst humane things holding it forth to all Kingdomes and Commonwealths but especially to this of England with that exceeding good will which he hath hither to born shall ever bear unto the same standing thereunto obliged by such bonds of love and good offices as shall never be forgotten by His Majesty For the people of this Nation are the most worthy successors of those their Heriock Ancestors who by their just power and Arms came freely to vindicate our Crowns from the Mahumetan oppressions And are if not the same persons at least their children who inflamed with a fervor and zeal of defending the Crown of Portugal justly did disdain to see it in the unjust possession of a forreign Prince They are I say those who with so mature deliberation and resolution endeavoured to snatch away this undue possession from the said Usurper maugre the concurrence of some ill affected Portugals with our enemies and that they might archieve this end glorious to themselves and to us emolumental they are those who covered these as with their Squadrons and Fleets of Ships ever formidable to their most potent enemies by a new example of an unheard of valour had our unfortunate Stars then given us leave to be happy come up to the very walls of Lisbon And this having formerly been between us and them most powerful English-men and our most loving brethren now that the Crown of Portugal for which you have fought so valiantly when it was unlawfully detained is happily restored to the possession of the natural and lawful King to whom of right it appertains who would not admire to see you bend your equal power upon no occasion given against the true and rightful King of Portugal by joyning with and favoring the same Usurper beaten by us from whom your selves did heretofore by force of your own Arms in our behalfs endeavor to snatch and wrest away that Crown he had unjustly seized upon and whom indeed you have hitherto both in desire and effect opposed It would to all the world seem a thing much removed from the innate generosity and gallantry of this your Nation and very ill suiting with your Christian justice and equality as also it would be a very unworthy requital of us who have deserved better at your hands and of that benevolence and affection wherewith the whole kingdom of Portugal is passionately câ—rrying on towards you wishing unto you the same happiness that we our selves desire to enjoy Let therefore these imaginary Clouds of discord vanish and be quite blown over from our thoughts as serving onely to Ecclipse with darkness the clear light of our antient amity which with what intention God Almighty knows the importune sagacity of our Common enemy would fain deprive us of Let all obstactles be removed and thrown quite away wherewith the true serving politicians by their inbred ambition of an universal Monarchy do conspire the ruine of us both aiming at nothing more then to set us together by the ears that overthrowing each other with our own Wars we may have brests open when our powers are exhausted to their swords and wounds with greater advantage against our selves and less hazard unto them This new Republique is built upon strong and sure foundations as also our antient and restored Kingdoms let us therefore cast our eyes unto the common interest of our cause joyning hands and mutual benevolence to such effect as may render both parties security the greater forbearing and bewaring above all things all provocations or irruptions of War whereby besides the inconveniences and losses which they ever draw after them all our own affairs and safety may be hazarded extreamly while their councels and endeavours will be promoted who by hidden and wicked arts strive to extend their own power by the common waste they would make in ours The King of Portugal my Master hath sent me hither furnished with a firm ample plenipotentiary power that discussing and screwing all the just and convenient meanes I may confer about the conservation of Peace and removing all emergent obstacles and scruples resolve and establish with the Parliament of the Commonwealth of England whatsoever shall be necessary for composing of our present affairs and maturely to provide with the greatest security that may be possible for their future well being I therefore beseech the Parliament of the Commonwealth of England that weighing and considering these things which I have exhibited they would please to decree whatsoever shall seem to them most convenient and just To this large Speech of forced and known flattery if we respect it in relation to the persons it was spoke to though most true in those particulars relating to the English Nation whilst monarchical was answered by the Rebels with a large Harange of the injuries they supposed done them by the protection of Prince Ruperts Fleet and seizure of the
