THere is none that can be ignorant of Englands Joy for his Majesties happy re●●●● It hath been the general contest of all people to strive to outdoe each other in their solemnities Though our Books were a long time crowded with what was done in this or that place yet were we forced to omit many as Halifax Warwick c. not because they were any way inferior to others in the expressions of their affect●ons but to avoid the importunities of such as daily throng to us None of these I hope will blame us if we pay that Civility to a Foreigner which we denied to our Countrymen we being in this somewhat more obliged to them as doing that for love which we were bound to in duty Take therefore this following Relation as we received it by a Letter from Heidelbergh July 7. THe solemn day appointed by his Electoral Highness for a publick Thanksgiving and rejoicing for the happy Return of His Majesty of Great Britain to his Kingdoms being come viz. Tuesday last it was celebrated here in this manner First his Highness and the whole Court left off their mourning habit that day which they wore before and since resumed for his late Majesty of Sweden and the deceased Electress Dowager of Brandenburgh to make the day and action the more joyful in every regard at 8 of the clock his Highness came down from his palace attended with a Noble and well-ordered Retinue to the great Church where choise musick was heard in several parts thereof and the 21. Psalm was sung by the whole Congregation which was followed by an eloquent Sermon out of 2 Sam. 19.14 15. a Text appointed then for the whole Palatinate together with a set form of prayer to give thanks for the mercy celebrated Sermon being ended Te Deum c. was sung most solemnly with Organs and all sorts of musical instruments The Church was so thronged and the joy so great and general as if the Palatinate were but then restored or their Peace but now sealed and like to be setled After this Divine service and the like in the rest of the Churches here his Highness returned with a greater Train up to his Palace having invited divers Lords and Gentlemen strangers and others who were Princely entertained there and his Majesties health long life and reign as also the health and happiness of both the Queens the most illustrious Dukes of York and Gloucester the Princesses Royal c. were with hearty apprecations cheerfully remembred and sounded forth from thence all over the City without the least offence or scandal to any In the afternoon his Highness came down again into the City to partake also of the Peoples civil rejoycings He having caused a very artificial Mount beset seemingly with Orange trees to be raised near the Town-house divers Youths Satyr-like running tumbling and sporting thereon while a Fountain thence ran with white and red wine for three or four hours together and from another place great quantities of manchets to make up a compleat beverage with the wine were flung among the multitude by one Mr. Sandys an English Gentleman servant to his Highness The Prince Elector himself also and the young Prince out of a Balcony scattered some gold and silver upon the throng which caused notable pastime One condemned to die was likewise pardoned and released having taken the advantage of the day and begg'd his life for King Charls the Second's sake which his Highness immediately granted In the evening between nine and ten his Highness went up again when on a sudden the towers of the Palace Castle and City the River and the Hills begin to shew their artificial lights and fires and the young Electoral Prince first himself fired some of his own small ordnance from a Battery upon the hill behind the garden which served as a warning to them at Manhlin and Frankindal to be in readiness with theirs five or six hours journey distant Thereupon the Soldiery first in several bodies began their vollies after which from three other Batteries 30 Canons plaid in order and discharged thrice one after another and those upon the hills could plainly see and partly hear the exact answers peece for peece as it were from the said places which yielded much pleasure to the observers but especially by Firework from the top of a Tower in the Palace in which you might see the Name of Charls II. and then that of the Prince Elector as with letters of gold in the air besides the Fireballs Darts Rockets the variety and greatness of Bonfires and all manner of sportful Representations till after midnight all emulating one another who should most testifie the largeness of their devotion and affection And that which gave the more lustre to the celebration of this Festival was that though for some days immediately before and after there fell a great deal of rain here this whole day proved as serene and fair for such a Jubilee as heart could wish and accordingly doubled the joy and satisfaction of all By a letter written to her Majesty of Bohemia of the same date and place recounting most of the foregoing passages there is also mention made of a Letter the Prince Elector had received that very day from the Duke of Wittenburg shewing how much he did partake of his Highness joy and intended Festival upon his Majesties account of Great Brittain being sorry he could not celebrate it on the same day though he was resolved to set a day apart for all his countrey joyfully to solemnise so great a mercy and so auspicious a restoration The Prince of Kassaw Dillenberg had the like intent and purpose the City of Wormes Spire Landaw c. had celebrated it already the Press at Heidelburg laboured with learned Speeches and Poems the better to perpetuate the remembrance of the day and the blessed occasion of it the City had been so full of strangers from Hailbron Franckfort Strasburg c. yea even from parts of Helvetia upon the bruit of what was intended that it had the resemblance of an Inauguration or coronation time At Franckfort the conflux of people and the general joy was so great that no body there remembred the like since her Majesties marriage Paris the 30 of July S.
