LONDON , Printed for R. Ibbitson dwelling in Smithfield neer Hosier Lane . 1653. A LETTER from the FLEET . SIR , WEE have still large experience , that Gods time is best in all the issues of his designs for his people ; though ( for so wee hear ) Van Trump , and some of the Chief , after taking the Sacrament , had vowed to kill and slay the English to his uttermost , and spare none ; blessed be God the VVar is now brought to their own doores , and we are still pursuing them , and doubt not but al Holland is before this in a strong alarme : there are many ships of war taken , and many men slain , and above a thousand prisoners taken of the Dutch , and our Fleet still pursuing their Victory , the particulars at large you wil shortly have , which can be given now but brokenly . Off of Ostend 4 June 1653. A Letter from the Generals at Sea . May it please your Excellency , YOur Lordships of the second instant , with the inclosed Intelligence , we this day received , and according to your Excellencies apprehensions thereon , wee have ingaged the Dutch Fleet , a breife account of the first days action we have already sent unto your Lordship . The next day being the third instant , we did what wee could to re-ingage them , and having the wind ( which was but little ) about noon wee came within shot , after foure houres dispute with them , or thereabouts , they indeavoured what they could to get away from us ; but having then a pretty fresh gale of wind , we pressed so hard upon them , that we sunke and took many of them ( as by the inclosed List , ) and doe suppose we should have destroyed most of them , but that it grew darke , and being off of Ostend amongst the Sands we durst not bee too bold , especially with the great ships , so that it was thought fit wee should Anchor all night , which we accordingly did about ten of the clock . This morning some of our ships descried the Enemy againe afar off , steering towards the Willings , whereupon a Councell of War being called , it was resolved , wee should forthwith set sail with the whole fleet towards the Willings , so far as with safety we may , and so to range along the coast till we come to the Texel ( the better to improve the present victory the Lord hath given unto us ) unlesse we shall see cause to divert our course .
