NOw comfortable Tydings, is come unto England, A Peace it is concluded as I doe understand Betweene the English and the Dutch, which long have bin at Jarrs, this bout through Gods great providence will finish up the Warrs: This is the happiest Newes indeed, that e'r to England came, The Dutch-men will be friends with us, and wee'l be friends with them. The Noble States of Holland, Embassadours have sent, To England's Lord Protector, worse dangers to prevent To have a Peace concluded, to which he did agree, That bloody wars twixt them and us, forth-with should ceased be: This is the bravest Newes indeed, that e'r to England came, The Dutch-men will be friends with us, and wee will be the same. Also from other Countryes the Messengers doe hye, Both France and many Nations more. with England so comply: For feare of dis-agreement, what after might befall,
Thus English-men from East to West are fear'd, and lov'd of all, This is the Noblest Newes indeed, that e're to England came, The Hollanders are friends with us, and wee are friends with them. The Articles of agreement assuredly runs thus, That ever-more hereafter, they shall be true to us: And take our parts in all things, as you may understand, Against our envious Enemies, by Sea and eke by Land: This is the happiest Newes indeed, that e'r to England came, The Hollander will fight for us, and wee will fight for them. And now the Dutch and English, are joyntly so agreed, Of any other Nations known wee have no need: Of all things necessary, great plenty both sides have, As much as any tongue can wish, or heart of man can crave; This is the bravest Newes indeed, that e'r to England came, The Hollanders are friends with us, and wee are friends with them.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The second Part, to the same tune.</hi></seg>
WEE have of victuals plenty both flesh, and fish good store, Theres no Land in all Christendome, ime sure affordeth more: Wheat, Rye, Beans, Peas & Barly, Cheese, Butter, and such things, The which unto a Common-wealth, content and comfort brings: This is the happiest time indeed, that ever to England came, The Dutch-men are become our friends, and wee are friends to them. We have as brave a Navy as ever bore up saile Wee have as brave Commanders, as ever did prevaile: Wee have a brave Land Army, of Souldiers as 'tis found, No bouldar sparks did ever breathe, nor tread on English ground This is the bravest newes indeed, that ever to England came, The Holanders are friends of ours and we are friends to them. Wee see the powers of Heaven doe all our actions guide Then what need we feare danger if God be on our side The world can never hurt us, though multitudes arise;
Of pagans Jewes and Infidels, and other enimies: This is the cheifest newes indeed, that ever to England came, The Holanders are friends of ours and we are friends to them. This makes well for our Marchants whose ships are sent to seas For they may trafick freely even when they will or please: Also it is the better for all tradsmen on the Land For every man and women that a calling takes in hand. This is the bravest newes indeed: that ever to England came, The Holanders are friends of ours and we are friends to them. And since the Lord have blest us with Unity and Peace Let faithfull frindship flourish and Brotherly love increase: And let us render to the Lord a sacrifice of prayse That thus have added sweet content and comfort to our dayes: This is the happiest newes indede that ever to England came The Holanders are friends of ours, and wee are friends to them.
April the 6. 1654. This night between six and seven a Clock the English Commissioners went to the Dutch Ambassadors at Sir John Trevors, in the Lord Protectors Coaches, with Mr. Secretary of State, and the Clerk of the Council? and about nine a clock at night, totally finished the Ratification of the Peace: The Articles be- ing wholly agreed for Holland and Denmark with us, and they were then sig- ned by the Lords Embassadours, on the one side, with full power from the States, and the Lords Commissioners with full power from the Lord Protector on the other side, and sealed and delivered on both sides; so that now all is done, and the PEACE is fully made.
