Figures Paintings and Devises which adorn'd those Sumptuous Triumphant Arches The Fame of these Pieces as being the Workmanship of most Skilful Masters drew to the Hague where they were Erected innumerable Crouds of People that thronged from all parts far and near to be both the Spectators and Admirers of so glorious and unwonted a Spectacle And this alone is sufficient to recommend the following Sheets to the World and secure the Sale of the Book If it be favourably receiv'd as I hope it will be it will encourage me to continue the marks of my Zeal for the Publick upon all Occasions of the like Nature J. BEEK THE Glorious Reception OF William III. King of ENGLAND At his Entrance into the Hague the 5th of February in the Year 1691. NEVER was Prince more ardently long'd for in a State as was the King of England in the beginning of this Year expected at the Hague not only by all the People of the Vnited Provinces but also by the greatest part of the Princes of Europe where he was stay'd for either by the Princes themselves or by their Ambassadors being look'd upon by all as the most solid support of their Dominions and the Repairer of all the Losses they had sustain'd by the Violences of their Common Enemy This Great Monarch who knows not what it is to be sparing of his own Person when all are contending for the Common Cause made no scruple to expose himself upon the rude Ocean in a Season the most incommodious and most dangerous to satisfie their Wishes This was upon the 26th of January in the Year 1691. for then it was that he departed a second time from London and arrived upon our Coasts the 31st of the same Month in the Afternoon where he threw himself into Dangers perhaps the greatest that ever were hazarded The Tide was against him but the Weather Calm however accompanied with a thick Fog which lasted three Days so that neither the Yachts nor the Men of War that attended him durst venture near the Shoar Which obliged him contrary to the Advice of his Captains and several other expert Seamen to hazard himself in a Sloop accompanied only by the Earl of Devonshire Nassau Ouwerkerk the Earls of Nottingham and Portland one Valet de Chambre and three Lacqueys in hopes no doubt that he might get ashoar in some Port or Land at least in some other Place But the Sloop finding it self incumber'd with the Ice and having the Tide contrary could make no way to any Landing-Place so that the King was constrain'd to lye by though without shelter from the Weather for the space of Two and twenty Hours environ'd with Ice open to imminent Danger and the Extremity of a piercing and rigorous Season Nor did he set foot ashoar till the next day about Noon at Orange Polder a little League distant from the Village of Naetwijck Upon his going out of the Sloop he met by good hap with a Post-Boy's Horse that was newly come to the place of which he made use to get to a Countryman's House where he warm'd himself together with the Lords that attended him till the Coaches that were sent for arrived and which he ordered to drive directly to Honshlaerdijck He was Complimented by the way by some of the Deputies of the States that is to say by Monsieur d'Opdam in the Name of the Chevalry and Nobility of Holland and West-Frise by Mr. Belarts in the name of the City of Dordreck by Mr. Witsen in the Name of the City of Amsterdam and by Mr. Vryburgh in the Name of the City of Alcmaer The same Ceremonies were also performed by the Imperial and Spanish Ambassadors the Counts de Berka and Colonna and the Governour of Frise and some other Lords of greatest Note At length he arrived Incognito at the Hague about Six a Clock in the Evening extremely discomposed by a Defluxion of Rhume occasioned by the vehemency of the cold which he had endured all the while that he lay in the Sloop He was no sooner alighted out of the Coach but he was Complimented by their High and Mightinesses the States of Holland and West-Frise who at that time were assembled together and Mr. Heinsius was the Person who carried the Message in the Name of the whole Body to which the King made Answer in few words but in most obliging Terms After which he sate down to Dinner and fed with a good Appetite notwithstanding the Indisposition of his Catarrh and rested very well the following Night The certain News of the King 's Landing was no sooner arrived at the Hague but Orders were given for Three Discharges of the Great Guns to the number of Thirty Pieces of Cannon that were planted upon the Vyverbergh and to Ring all the Bells which was done again the same Day at the very moment of his Entrance into the Hague And then it was that the extraordinary Zeal appear'd of every particular Person to testifie their unfeigned Joy some several times discharging those lesser Pieces of Artillery which they kept in their Houses others not only making Bonfires before their Doors but Sporting at their Windows with Variety and Curiosity of Fire-works But the most part expressed their Gladness with their Glasses in their Hands Drinking the King's Health and wishing him all manner of Prosperity togegether with Long Life so that there were very few that returned home to their own Houses but with light and chearful Hearts Nevertheless the Streets were so numerously throng'd all the Night long that you shall seldom see the most enflam'd Seditions muster more People together The Transports of their Joy might be easily read in their Countenances and some there were that could hardly be convinced the King was arrived as doubtful whether they deserved of Heaven so great a Happiness In the mean time the Post-Offices both of Amsterdam and other Places were so throng'd with Letters that Night while every body was desirous to send the Pleasing News to his Friends that it was hardly known that ever so many had been seen deliver'd into the Offices at one time The Day following His Majesty was Complimented by all the Ambassadors Corporations and Persons of Quality And then it was that they found he had so little Inclination to make his Publick Entry into the Hague that he refus'd it altogether However at length he suffer'd himself to be over-rul'd by the earnest Importunities of some of the Bodies of the State and the Magistracy of the Hague who besought him several times that he would vouchsafe that Satisfaction to the Publick in regard the Charges were already disburs'd and all things in a readiness Thereupon the Monday following being the Fifth of February 1691. was fixed for the Solemnity And then it was that such a number of People from the Cities and Provinces adjoyning crouded in Throngs to the Hague that there was hardly any passing in the broadest Streets of the Town And the number had been infinitely
