EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

LONKON, Novemb. 18. Printed for Jon. Wright. 1642.
A PERFECT DIURNALL of all ſuch Paſſages as have happened in the Engliſh Fleet on the narrow Seas, ſince the departure of the Lord Admirall: From the 17. of October to the 13. of November.

October 17. ON this day about 10. of the clock the Lord Admirall with a number of Captains and Gentlemen landed at Dover, at whoſe landing there was a great triumph in token of our love to his renowned actions, our Fleet of Ships being about 32. diſcharged three times on all ſides, ſo that there were neere 200. Peeces of Ordnance diſcharged at that time, with many expreſſions of joy and hearty wiſhes for our Admirals good ſucceſſe upon the land; at whoſe departure all Maſters and Mariners much lamented, though they had Malago Sack of the beſt to cheriſh their comfortleſſe hearts, that afterward there was health upon health drunk that day in abundance, as alſo to the Vice-Admirall Captaine Battie, who hath the whole charge of the Navy in the Earle of Warwicks abſence.

Octob. 18. We weighed our anchors, and the greater Ships bore for the Kings Channell, where they anchored that night, and ſome of the leſſer Ships kept their courſe through the Channell next the Downes, by 8. of the clock in the evening they were welcomed by the Reare Admirall, and the S. George, which were newly come into the Downes from Portſmouth, but our Vice-Admirall with the reſt of the great ſhips came not untill the next day at noon, at whoſe arrivall we met with three French Men of Warre which refuſed to do their obeyſance to His Majeſties ſhips, wherupon our Admirall gave them a broad ſide, who ſtraightway ſtruck their top ſailes.

Octob. 19. Our Vice-Admirall came aſhore at S. Margarets with divers Captaines, where he was welcomed by the expreſſion of divers peeces of ordnance ſhot from ſeverall places.

Octob. 20. We rode ſtill at anchor, the Vice-Admirall neither viſiting any of the ſhips, nor going aſhore, but placed and diſplaced certain Captaines, whoſe names for the preſent I forbeare to ſpeak of, till the next opportunity.

Octob. 21. We had a muſter, and rode ſtill in the Downes, the Whelps being imployed unto Holland, and weighed anchor with a Weſterly wind; about 5. of the clock in the evening the Antilope came into our Fleet, who had been at the Brill, and bronght us newes that there were 17. ſaile of Flemmiſh Hoyes as then going to the Brill with French ſouldiers: another ſhip being full of French Commanders, would not ſtrike ſaile unto His Majeſties ſhips, upon which Captaine Fox diſcharged two or three peeces of Ordnance upon them, and then, and not before, he ſtruck the top-ſaile down upon the cape.

Octob. 22. We lay ſtill at anchor, and the Vice-Admirall going aſhore was again welcomed as before.

Octob. 23. We were divided into Squadrons of 3. and to each Squadron were annexed 5. Merchants ſhips, and ſo by conſent were diſperſt about ſeverall places.

Octob. 24. The Leopard and the Samſon with two Whelpes weighed anchor very early in the morning, and coaſted about Callis Road, and came in to the reſt of the Fleet on the Downes that evening.

Octob. 25. The Lyon, the Freeman, with two Whelps, weighed anchor and left the Fleet, the Whelps came in the next day about noone, and the other two about night; at whoſe returne wee had newes of a fight betwixt a Hollander and 2. Dunkerks Slopes on our ſeas neer Dover road, the Hollander, having 10. peeces of ordnance, was taken by the Slopes, his men all hurt but 4. and the Gunner kild; but an Engliſh ſhip, called the Bleſſing, reſcued him, and gave the Hollander his ſhip againe.

Octob. 26. About twelve of the clock we met the King of Denmarks Man of Warre, chaſing of a Merchants ſhip of London, which came from the Eaſt Indies, but ſhe was conſtrained to put in for Ireland, where this Man of War had fetcht her out: he ſaluted our Vice-Admirall with many peeces of ordnance, which were anſwered againe with the like: at the laſt we boarded her, and took therin armour for 5000. men going to Newcaſtle, which we made ſtay of, and intend to ſend her with a ſafe convoy to London.

Octob. 27, 28, 29. We lay at anchor, wanting proviſion of bisket, but we were ſupplied in Suſſex.

Octob. 30. The wind being calm at W. and by S. we weighed anchor, and ſailed to and fro, praying for a faire gale of wind to courſe the ſea; for our Vice-Admirall had notice given him of 14. Flemins and 14. French which kept nigh Portland, but ſince we heard they were parted, nevertheleſſe we diſcharged a peece of ordnance, and put out a red flag in the Meſon ſhroud: immediately the Captaines and Maſters of every ſhip made their repair aboard, where we called a Councell of Warre, in which it was ordered, that if in caſe we met with the Hollanders and French Fleet together, and that the French would not do their obeyſance, to ſend to the Hollanders to tell them, we did not think they would any wayes come againſt the King and Parliament, ſo according to their anſwers to deale with them, who ſent us a faire anſwer, that they never had any intent to come againſt the King or Parliament, the King being their only Protector.

Novemb. 1. We came to Dannaſe, which is the Eaſterly part of the Iſle of Wight, and about 11. a clock we came to anchor 2. or 3. leagues from the Iſle, where we lay till 4. of the clock the next morning.

Novemb. 2. We came to S. Ellen near the Iſte of Wight, where we rode untill the 5. of this moneth, and weighing anchor we deſcried 40. and odd ſaile, whom we thought to be the Dutch and French Fleet; but when we came up to them, we found them to be Flemmiſh Merchants which came out of France with ſalt, except ſome 3. or 4. men of warre: we ſpake with ſome of them, and after ſome ſmall view of them, we parted.

Novemb. 5. We came into Plymouth Sound, all the way not paſt any thing of note, ſave that we ſeized on two Dunkerks laden with Ammunition for Ireland: but ſince our coming here, and before, we heard that the Flemins have ſworn never to lift up their hands againſt the King or Parliament of England, and that they are not in company with the French, who have been about our coaſts, but are now gone; we onely ſtay for a faire wind to carie us to the Lands end, and as farre as Silly, and ſo I think we ſhall return hither againe, whence what may paſſe hereafter of more conſequence I ſhall be glad to adviſe you, and ſhould joy to ſee ſome ſport if any durſt meet us; but I feare that labour will be ſaved; but we ſhall not reſt till we have met with the King of France his Army, which is about 10000 ſouldiers, but we ſhall narrowly watch their landing upon any of onr coaſts.

Novemb. 6. We weighed anchor out of Plymouth Sound, and came neare the Iſle of Silly, and on the ſame day we came into the Sound again, where we found one of the King of France his Dragons, being ſuch a ſhip as one of His Majeſties Whelps, having with her two ſmall Barks, the one he had relieved out of the hands of Dunkerks; the Captaine of the ſhip went aboard our Admirall, but ſtayed not long, but was diſcharged, he told our Vice-Admirall that 12. ſaile of Dutch, and 14. ſail of French which lay about our coaſt, waiting for purchaſe.

Novemb. 7. We coaſted up and down, and within ſhot of Poole there were three French Barks laid at anchor driven in through tempeſtuous weather, our ſhips were too great a burden to follow them, but we ſent our ſhallops well man'd to board them, and there was found therein 1000. mens armour, going for Ireland, all which we ſeized on, and have ſtayed the Barks till further order of Parliament.

Novemb. 8. Within 3. leagues of Dartmouth we ſeized on a Flemiſh ſhip who had landed divers commanders, as by the examination of the Maſter of the ſhip it appeared, that they were ſent into Cornwall with Letters from Colonell Goring to Sir Ralph Hopton, the ſhip wee gave in charge to the Maior of Dartmouth, the Captain and ſoldiers ſent to London.

Novem. 9, 10. We ſpied a Fleet of Dunkerks coming from the Southward, ſuſpecting Colonel Goring and others to be therein, but the ſwiftneſſe of their ſmall veſſels out-ſailed our Fleet.

Novemb. 11. We took the Dutch man of war that landed Prince Robert in England, who was laden with ſtore of ammunition, and going for Lyme in Dorſetſhire, we have diſtrained both ſhip and ammunition till the Prince ſhall reprieve them.

Novemb. 12. Wee had order to come for Portſmouth, and what further order as yet I know not, but we hope we ſhall make a good voyage, and take all the ſcouts roving up and downe our coaſts; for we have laid diligent wait in all creeks, to ſtop the paſſage of the Cavaliers from coming out or going in, in the interim if any thing paſſe, you ſhall heare from me, but believe no report contrary to this journall, which is the truth of our proceedings.

FINIS.
