III. BOTH Sides being thus fitted out, and prepared for Action, let us now proceed, _Thirdly_, To give an Account of the Expedition, and the several Engagements between the two Fleets, with the final Event of the whole. The King of _Spain_’s Instructions to his General, were[46], To repair to _Calais_ Road, and there wait for the Arrival of the Duke of _Parma_, who had Orders to join him with his Fleet and Forces; and, upon their meeting, to open a Letter directed to them both, with further Orders [particularly, to advance up the _Thames_, and attack _London_.] He was strictly enjoined, in the mean time, to sail along the Coasts of _Bretagne_ and _Normandy_, in order to avoid being discovered by the _English_ Fleet; and if unexpectedly he should meet them, not to offer Battle, but act only upon the Defensive. With these Instructions, the _Spanish_ Fleet set sail on the 19th of _May_ from the _Tagus_, and steer’d for the _Groyne_, the Place of general Rendezvous. But they had not been long at Sea, before they were so dispersed by a violent Storm, off of Cape _Finisterre_, that scarce the third Part of them reached, some Days after, the intended Port: And three of the Gallies, by the Stratagem of _David Gwyn_, an _English_ Slave, assisted by some of the _Moorish_ Rowers, were run into a Harbour of _France_[47].
