be taken out or kept safe in some other place fitting for it The Admiral upon this Arrest stopt and cast Anchor and came to acquaint the States General and the Prince with what was done and to doe further as it should be directed Now began all Eyes to see that good Providence which guided the Queen to return to Holland that Ship of Arms having been absolutely lost by Her absence which was so hardly redeemed and preserved by Her Royall Presence and Courage And by that it was For the Queen toucht with the sense of so visible an Indignity by the hands of Sir William Boswell resident in Holland for His Majestie sent to the States Generall a round and quick Letter See Her Ma●esties Letter ●rinted after the Relation of the deep resentment which She justly had of that great affront then done Her and that the bands of Amity betwixt the King and them must needs be dissolved if that were done and endured This begat a Meeting of all the States the Prince of Orange being with them whose spirit this affront had moved much In it the matter was argued with the States of Holland who made the stay The Arrest by many condemned and concluded by all that the ship of Arms should come away with the rest to the Queen and the Admiralls Commission enlarged to fight with any that should attempt to hinder it or any with the Queen besides it The States of Holland now saying they tooke the ship of Arms till then for a private mans and not the Kings for which cause or colour they before had stayed it The Admirall thus arm'd went to fetch it away and after some expostulations by Letters with the two Parliament ships and the Messenger their Ministers vaine perswasions to the contrary bid them to lye still till the ship was gone or to keep off out of Cannon-shot or he would shoot at them The ship being got out to Sea the Providence made three shots at it none hitting it upon this the Admirall shot at them who in stead of answering him shot off a Peece on the other side from him and so went their way So on February sixteenth being Thursday that ship with the rest came to Sciveling to the Queen THat Day The Queens second comming out of Holland with a Navy of 13 Ships Feb. 16. 1642 Her Majesty imbarked again in the Princesse Royall of great Brittaine Her first ship And with a most blessed Weather on a quiet Sea by a soft and gentle Gale was brought on Sunday after within sight of Flamborough-head The Heavens and Winds for so long a time and many Dayes before continuing in those Winter Dayes and Northren Seas almost miraculously Faire and Intempestuous On Munday we got on as farr as Scarborough But then the Wind blew from Newcastle our onely intended Haven just in our Teeth and as God in great Mercy would have it said to us in the Language of His Providence Goe no further So we fell back into a safe Harbour Burlington-Bay and cast Anchor hard by the Shoare As Her Majesty rid at Anchor there some of the Gentry and Country People sent and came to present to the Queen some of their Country Provisions with their Joyes for Her Safety and happy Returne Her Majesty graciously accepted them doing them the Honour to let them kisse Her Hand Here God put into Her Heart another blessed Resolution It was to send to my Lord of Newcastle to give him word of Her being there and Her will if he so direct there to land His Excellency having but the Weeke before beaten the Forces out of Stamford Bridge and made his way into the East-Ryding of Yorkeshire was then very happily at Pocklington with his Army about twenty miles from Burlington On Tuesday came a Messenger with Tydings That the Generall of the Horse next Day about Noon would waite on Her Majesty at shoare with a thousand Horse And my Lord Gederall the next Day after with the rest of the Horse and Foote Army This was done accordingly For on Wednesday after Noone the Horse appeared on the shoare whereupon Her Majesty landed that Night at Burlington-Key All the Ordinance of the Ships speaking as much to those who were not near enough to see it Next Day as the Queen was at Dinner came His Excellency and Generall King with the Army of Foot and fiveteen hundred more Horse His Excellency tould the Queen Her landing so was in a most happy place and time for the Country and Army and Her selfe and Her Retinue So apparently it was For besides the great moiling of Men and Beasts this would save the Country a very vast expence of Moneys for Carriages in those long and ill wayes from Newcastle to Yorke this being but thirty miles and good way from it And the Army already much wearied in chases of the Enemy from which they came but the Day before would have been overtoyled and weakened in so long Convoyes and Marches to and fro for the Queens necessary conduct and Attendance of which great trouble Her Majesty now gave them a present case And both Country and Army magnified the mercyfull Providence of God to both who disposed so of his Winds and the Queens thoughts to bring them such an unexpected case and happinesse to the great joy and encouragement of them all And Her Majesty Retinue had their share in the happinesse too For by this meanes the Queen came much sooner to York now then she could had she landed at Her first comming at Newcastle And much safer too then if she had now arrived there considering the Dangers both of the Haven and ships which lay in waite for Her there fitted with Men of desperate minds to doe all possible Mischief and the many Accidents and Perills which might have befallen Her in comming thence Besides all this great advantage would have been necessarily given and as greedily taked from the Diversion and Division of the Army to make the Enemy more bould and busie to work his ends by the absence now frustrated by the keeping of it in one body and place The Army being now by Burlington the Queen after Dinner rid out in a Coach to see it which received great encouragement from Her comming and welcommed Her into the field with many hearty Acclamations and expressions of their Joyes such as much moved many to see them and in them the true old Genius and Spirit of the English Nation to their Princes of late degenerated into the strange Tongue of rude Invectives and Outcryes After sight of the Army which Her Majesty rid through through even to the new raised and unarmed Companies Shee returned to Her Lodging at Burlington Key But had another manner of Salutation sent Her from the Sea next Morning in a strange and till that time utterly unknown and unparallelly-barbarous Language For foure Ships and a Pinnace Voluntaries in the Parliaments Service which came over Night into the Roade
