THE ROYAL STANDARD OF King Charles the II. PRESENTED To the Publick view of all true Subiects Presbyterians Independants and others both in the City of LONDON and the Respective Counties throughout the Kingdom of ENGLAND and Dominion of WALES Written by the Lady Charlette Countess of Bregy that Oracle of Wit and Eloquence and most Illustrious Ornament of the Court of France And now Translated into English for the pleasure and satisfaction of all his Majesties Subjects that understand not French LONDON Printed for G. HORTON 1660. The Royal Standard OF King Charles the II. Drawn by the so much celebrated Pen of the Countesse of Bregy in France IN this Picture of the valiant CHARLES you shall at once behold together with all the accomplishments of a Worthy King and a most deserving Gentleman the representation of the greatest events that fortune can produce since that a Throne established by a long succession of Ancestors and by a Government as just as gentle hath been overthrown before our eyes without any other cause to this great mutation then the inconstancy of all humain things which is such that ordinarily a new evil is still prefer'd before a wonted good although by the experience of all preceding Ages the people might have learnt that they can hope neither for repose not happiness but under the Dominion of their lawful Prince He whose Image I now am graving is of so high bloud that by right of succession it renders him Master of three Kingdoms of which one alone is capable to make a great KING and the Possession of the three hath made so powerful Princes that usually they looked upon their neighbours onely to make alliances with them and not to seek support from them The riches of their Countrey the security and happinesse they enjoy leaving them nothing they desire and little to fear CHARLES was born in the midst of all this glory and was a long time amorously beheld as the hope of all his people but a Constellation as powerful as cruel having rais'd a storm in the midst of all his calm did so confound the order of things that their eyes being no longer able to suffer the brightness of the Sun we saw on a sudden a King without Subjects and at last alas Subjects without a King Let us there constrain our memory and not suffer it to represent unto us what it was that rendred CHARLES so early a Successor to three great Kingdoms but rather let us divert our thoughts by discoursing of the merit that makes him worthy to Possesse them And beginning with his Person I must tell you it is like his vertues Great and Royal and that there is found in his looks something so illustrious and so awful that without knowing who He is it procures Him from all that see him the respect of a King His goodly Stature his long black curled hair his manly and becoming motions his Martial countenance illustrated with those equally charming and Commanding eyes accompanied with such a graceful Majesty as shines upon his brow tender him the man in the World of the best Mind without being at all beholding to beauty for any of his advantages and truly after having seen him it is no more to be counted as a thing desirable since that without it it is possible to be so amiable and so accomplisht as is this Prince Whose mind is Wise Judicious and capable of al that 's great and good whose humour is gentle civil and gallant insomuch that some can boast to have often had a share in His disquiets For His heart it is as Royal as His birth which renders Him Liberal Valiant and so truly Generous that I know not whether I ought more to admire His Justice Gratitude and Munificence towards His suffering friends or His Kingly Clemency Confidence and Bounty towards His reconciled Enemies The frequent exposal of His life to the dangers He hath past do sufficiently convince that he loves it lesse then glory and hath hitherto imployed it only to render Himself now worthy to Compel fortune to restore unto Him His Kingdoms of which she had for so many years usurped the Revenge with so much shame unto her self and so much Calamity to the people that found themselves subject to all the Changes of her Caprices Who all this time had been only constant in suffering nothing to fall out favourable for CHARLES whilst He seems to have been unfortunate to no other end but that He might become more Worthy to Command since that turning His exile to His advantage he hath learnt out of the different politicks of his allies all that might one day conduce to make Him obeyed through esteem and serv'd through love and inclination How successefully he hath labour'd to enrich Himself with all the qualities that ought to accompany a Great Prince is evident by the Zeal is now seen in his Subjects to return to His obedience who if he were not their King by Birth he should be by Election Heaven would not suffer that second Causes should have any share in this Prodigious revolution to the end that CHARLES might know it was only the hand of God that Crown'd Him since He hath made him Conquer without Arms and in an instant given him the hearts of all his Subjects making him find one so faithfull amongst them as that illustrious Person who hath redeem'd the honour of his Nation and made himself an example to the world that behold him for ever Crown'd by the hands of glory in a manner more rate and more worthy of envy then are the Diadems of Kings for having carryed unto His the auguste Present of three Crownes and Scepters that heaven-sends back unto Him which will finde in CHARLES an arme so Worthy to bear that glorious weight that henceforth the Principall imployments of renown shall be to travell through all the Empires of the Earth and inform them of the glorious Reign of CHARLES and the great felicity of his people Proclaiming to all the Universe that never Throne was more Worthily fill'd then that in which CHARLES the second is seated and whereof His generous and invincible Brothers are become the Defenders An Appendix to the Standard-Royall Having made a serious review of the precedent Rural lines of this most worthy Countess the Illustrious Ornament of the Court of France give me leave in the next place to make a discovery of the obsequious wayes of some of the grand impostors and most Prodigious Oppressors that ever any age of the world produced who made Reformation their pretence to gratifie their own Avarice introduced themselves and involved the people into a far more then Babylonish Tyranny imposing upon the Church and State beyond all impudence or example And if we look upon a party of the Scottish Nation what there sordid actions produced by deceiving their Brethren selling their King betraying his Son and by all their perfidie but a slavery more then Egyptian and an infamy as
