Oliver Cromwell, Cromwell letter to Mahomet Han (1655)
“ As for a long time free trade and intercourse has been exercised by our subjects and people in your royal Porte as elsewhere in your dominions, we for our part are right willing to continue the same, and gratefully accept the favour shown to them by your royal hands. Yet we cannot but be "touched by a feeling of resentment" at the wrongs and injuries inflicted on some of them by the injustice of evil ministers and officers, contrary, we are persuaded, to your privity and knowledge. ”
