By the Com^tee of Lords and Comms for the Admiralty and Cinque Portes

Whereas this Com^tee is informed by Capt. Tweedy out of the Com~ of the
Nauie that upon Conference had by him w^th Capt. Willoughby Capt. of
the Nonesuch frigat, it appeared to him, that the said Frigat hath
thirty six peeces of Ordinance abord her whereas thirty two wilbe
sufficient By meanes whereof an unnecessary Charge is drawne
upon the State & the vessell made less serviceable These are
therefore to pray & require you to Cause four such of her peeces
as the Com~ of the Nauy shall thinke fitt to be taken out of
the said Frigat & recd into the Stores under your Charge For
w^ch this shalbe your sufficient warrant [Passed] at [Westm~]
this 17^th day of September 1647
