Mistresse Elizabeth Paine of Bristell was blinde and such a Rhewmatick defluxion did dayly fall from her eyes which did wet two or three large hancherchiefes every day she came to the King on Sunday last the 5. of this November His Majesty did touch her eyes the Rhewme ceased so that she went away presently with a cleere and perfect sight and two houres after she came to the King againe and gave him thanks upon her knees His Majesty bade her give thanks to God so she with giving God praise and prayers for the King went from the Island to Bristoll with exceeding joy for her recovery 7. Margaret Hezden aged 73. yeares dwelling in Newport in Chayne lane was not able to stir but as she was lifted from bed to chaire and from chaire to bed touched by His Majesty and cured so that with one crutch she did goe about her house and drew 5 or 6. pots of Ale for me and my company These things me thinkes should move the mindes of some unmannerly Levellers to esteeme his Majesty as one that is not to be ranked or filed with common men Concerning any Newes of business at the Treaty there is so much made of it at London that there is little or none at all at the Court this is certaine that from the 21. of October till the first of November being 11. dayes there was no debating or treating at all for Sir Peter Killegrâ—â— was all that time from the Island to the Parliament at Westminster and till his returne with Orders and Directions alâ— things were silent however the London Mercuries and Moderate Occurrances did not faile to set forth newes oâ— their owne making every weeke All that I can relate is that Sir Peter came to the King on Tuesday night the last of October and the next day being the quondam All Saints His Majesty with the Commissioners began to Treate where it was agreed that the Presbyterian Governement in the Church should continue three yeares that the Booke of Common Prayer should be discontinued and not used publickly That no Masse should be tollerated to be sayd in the Kingdomes of England and Ireland or in the Principallity of Wales These matters of high consequence being concluded and agreed there is great hope of speedy restauration of His Majesty to His just Rights and a blessed peace for the Church people and Kingdomes I came from the Island on Tuesday the 7. of November and landed at a place called Hell Head from thence I came 3 miles to Titchfield on Wednesday I came 4 miles to Wickham Thursday to Warnford 7. miles Fryday I footed it 17. miles to Alton and to Farnham Saturday to Guilford and to Cobham 18. miles and Sunday 6 miles to Kingston and on Munday the 13. of November I came to London 10. Miles And as I have written merrily truely and impartially so I must conclude accordingly without flattery concerning thu Governour of the Isle of Wight Colonel Hammand the plaine truth is that my selfe with many others did hate him so much that he was very seldome or never prayed for the reasons and motives which possest most men with this mistaking and misapplyed inveterate mallice was upon the flying lying reports that the Governour had behaved himself most coursly ridged and barbarously unrespective to His Majesty The false weekely Pamphlets and Pamphleteers being inspired by their Father the Divell were not ashamed to publish in print that the Governour had proceeded so far it incivility as to immure or wall His Majesty in a small close roome under many bolts bars grates locks and keyes and debarred Him the comforts of His soule and of the seociety of men and further it was often printed by severall lying Villaines that the sayd Governour Hammond did strike the King on the face and gave Him a black eye These reports being invented by the Devills Imps the firebrands of contention printed and published by needy greedy Knaves and Varlets and believed by too many Fooles and foolish Gotehamists amongst which number I with much simplicity was one and as by Oath and duty I am bound to serve love and honour my Soveraigne Lord and Master so on the contrary my selfe with all true and Loyall Subjects had no cause to be well affected to any man that should dare to affront His Majesty with such transcended base indignities But to give the world satisfaction of the truth it is certaine that all those aspersions and rumours against the Governour are most odious scandalous and malicious lies for according to the trust reposed in him he hath alwayes carried him selfe with such deportment and humblenesse of dutifull service to His Majesty that he hath gained much love and favour from his Soveraigne and such good regard from all knowing men as belongs to a Gentleman of his place and Quallity And therefore Reader understand and note Who ever sayes I lye he lies in 's throate Blest Englands joy the King will come er'e long Praise God make Bonefires swing the Bells ding dong And let him never beare a Christians name Whose trade and pleasure is in blood and slame Of his deare Countrey and rip rend and teare His Mothers Womb that such a brat did beare FINIS I set forth on Thursday the 19. of Octob. We hired the Southamton coach which comes weekly to the Rose neer Holborn Bridge * The signe of the Bush †The dawning * Flora was a beautifull Courtezan in Rome who gat great treasure by the prostitution of her body which Wealth she gave to the Common Treasury for which they did esteeme her a Goddes and the Goddes of Flowers and built a Temple to her * For testimony of the truth of this there is one Iohn Newbery a Clothworker who dwels in Newport in the streete called Castle Hole this man did come over the water with her and did see her lame and cured
