By these answers to the said complaint, their Lordships, the States, may see what little cause they have of supposing, in his Majesty, any alienation towards his neighbours ; but we, on our side, make many complaints much more serious and more grave than those; the said Lords States having never offered suitable satisfaction, can well imagine that nothing but discontent can remain in his Majesty's breast. For, without mentioning the crying fact, which it is unnecessary to discuss further, the extreme injustice they have been guilty of in regard to the Tare had quasi banished all our trafic from their country, had not some moderation been obtained by the yielding and accommodation on our side, and not by any mitigation on their part, who retain always the power to extort hereafter, whatever they please in this regard. There also continues to be another great complaint with the Board for the depredation and destruction of his Majesty's subjects in Greenland; the reparation ordered by his late Majesty for that, remains always unfurnished. And to pass over all the other complaints, which daily increase, the course they have pursued in regard to this ship belonging to his Majesty's subjects, now detained by process at Rotterdam, exceeds all those that can justly be adduced against us, as will evidently be manifest to them by the relation of the fact, which will shortly be laid before them. In fine, this is the true statement of the complaints, presented on the one side and on the other. They complain of damages received from their enemies, the reparation whereof they demand of us; and of some trifling detentions at our hands which, we say and consider, are well founded; but we complain of their injustice, committed as well against the goods as against the lives of his Majesty's subjects; of having wronged us in our trade; of having dispossessed us of divers countries in the East and West Indies, where our right was indubitable.
