Paper from The States Ambassadors, for an Answer to their Proposition.
"Honourable Sir,
"We renew again, by these our Instances unto the
Honourable House of Parliament, to have an Answer
to our Public Proposition of the 12th of July last
past, and to understand if the Interposition presented
by our Lords and Superiors might be acceptable.
"You may believe, Sir, being admitted, we shall
proceed in it in all Fidelity and Sincerity; for we
suffer in your Evils, and prosper by your Welfare,
being so narrowly joined with you by Union of Consciences, and all other Prosperities, which admits of
no Doubt at all that we should not contribute all that
lieth in our Power, to the strengthening of the true
Christian Protestant Religion, and re-establishing of
the just and true Maxims for the Welfare of these
Kingdoms.
"The Proofs which you shall have of our good
Endeavours when acceptable, and the common Interest
of Religion and State, will sufficiently assure their
Honours, that never a greater and better Union and
Amity may be expected from any other State, than
that which our Lords and Superiors will strive always
to continue between these Kingdoms and their Republic of The United Provinces."
Ordinance to prevent the Excursions of Crowland Garrison, lately taken by the King's Forces.
"Whereas the late Surprizal of the Garrison of
Crowland, in the County of Lincolne, by the Forces
raised in Opposition to the King and Parliament, is
very prejudicial, and of ill Consequence, to the several
Counties associated under the Command of the Earl
of Manchester, as also to great Part of the County of
Northampton, next adjoining to the same; and, by
reason of the Unseasonableness of the Weather, the
Approaches to the said Garrison are become so unaccessible, that, though Forces were drawn down to
reduce the same, it cannot now possibly be done
without much Charge and Difficulty; and whereas
the best Means to prevent the Inroads, Plunderings,
and other Outrages, of the said Garrison, and also to
hinder the same from Provisions of Corn and other
Supplies, is advised to be, by erecting and furnishing
of Three several Forts, or Sconces, the Charge
whereof will amount to near about Six Hundred
Pounds, One near a Place called Brother House, in
the County of Lincolne; another upon Dowesdale
Bancke, in the said County; and a Third upon Burrow
Banck, in the County of Northampton; each of which
is to be manned with Fifty Men, or thereabouts; and
to have attending to the same One Boat of Defence,
to be contrived and built by the Direction and Appointment of the Commander in Chief of the said
several Forces: Be it therefore Ordained, by the
Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament, and by
the Authority of the same, That the said Three
several Forts, or Sconces; be raised and erected in the
Places aforesaid, as by the Advice of the Commander
in Chief of the said Forts shall be thought most convenient and advantageous for the Ends and Causes
heretofore expressed, Two of the which said Forts or
Sconces in the County of Lincolne, together with Two
such Boats as aforesaid, to be erected, framed, manned, and furnished with Arms, Ammunition, Victuals,
and all other Things necessary for the Defence and
Maintenance of the same; and the said Men to be paid,
during the Time they shall continue in the said Service, at the proper Costs and Charges of the said Association; the other Fort in the County of Northampton,
together with One such Boat as aforesaid, to be erected;
framed, manned, and furnished with Arms, Ammunition, Victual, and all other Provisions and Things
necessary for the Defence and Maintenance of the
same; and the said Men to be paid, during the Time
they shall continue in the said Service, at the proper
Costs and Charges of the said County of Northampton,
by the Direction and Appointment of the Committee
for the said County, who hereby shall have full Power
and Authority to rate and tax the said County, for
the raising, erecting, and maintaining of the said Forts,
Boats, and Forces; and whereas, by reason of the
divers and various Creeks and Drains in the several
Fens wherewith the said Garrison of Crowland is
environed, the said Forts or Sconces, though happily
they may stop and hinder the principal and ordinary
Passages and Excesses to the said Garrison, yet cannot
possibly prevent the issuing out of small Boats with
Parties to the Towns and Villages adjacent.
"And be it further Ordained, That Six Score of
Horse or Dragoons, maintained by the Association,
shall be sent and employed in those Parts, for the
securing of the said associated Counties, and blocking
up of the said Garrison of Crowland.
"And that Three Score of the Horse or Dragoons
maintained by the County of Northampton shall be
sent and employed in those Parts, for the securing of
the said County, and blocking up of the said Garrison
of Crowland.
"And be it further Ordained, That the Earl of Manchester do nominate and appoint a Commander in Chief,
to command the said Forces, Forts, and Sconces.
"And be it lastly Ordained, That they shall have
Power to raise the said Forts or Sconces in the Places
aforesaid, or in any other Place, by and with the Advice
of the Committee for the said Association."
