The Ships named in the margin, which are part of the Squadron going on a foreign voyage, are ordered from the Nore to Spithead. Pilots should be sent to these Ships to take them to the Downs. I also direct you to send down four or five Pilots to the Nore, to carry the BURLINGTON, NONSUCH and other Ships to Holland, which are to bring his Majesty back to England, directing them to apply to the C-in-C at the Nore for their being received aboard.
nine Ships in the margin, commencing with the ESSEX.
