of July 15. 1690 is not to be read without shame: "On a sceu que les
Hollandois s'estoient tres bien battus, et qu'ils s'estoient comportez
en cette occasion en braves gens, mais que les Anglois n'en avoient
pas agi de meme." In the French official relation of le battle off Cape
Bevezier,--an odd corruption of Pevensey,--are some passages to the
same effect: "Les Hollandois combattirent avec beaucoup de courage et
de fermete; mais ils ne furent pas bien secondez par les Anglois." "Les
Anglois se distinguerent des vaisseax de Hollande par le peu de valeur
qu'ils montrerent dans le combat."]
