Difficult to read. E-text prepared by Louise Pryor, Irma Spehar, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A Declaration of the Causes, which mooved the chiefe Commanders of the Nauie of her most excellent Maiestie the Queene of England" is a historical document likely written in the late 16th century. The text outlines the rationale behind the actions of the commanders of the English fleet during their military engagement against the ships supplying the King of Spain during a time of hostility. This declaration serves as both a justification for military action and a defense against accusations of breaching international law. The document articulates the political and military context surrounding England's conflict with Spain, specifically detailing the threats posed by the Spanish King and his attempts to undermine Queen Elizabeth I. It addresses various conspiracies against the Queen, highlighting the animosity felt towards England from Spain, as well as concerns over trade and neutrality upheld by the Hanse Towns. The authors argue for the legality of their maritime actions, asserting that their seizures of ships were necessary for England's self-defense against a common enemy, ultimately portraying a strong commitment to national sovereignty and the protection of Protestantism in a turbulent religious landscape.
