her Race which was in France she had much more for its Flower and Fruit which were in England She opposed nothing to these Rumors but the voice of her own Conscience which spake lowder then Calumny and justified her before God against the Impostures of Men. Nevertheless Calumny found so much Matter prepared to take Fire and blew so hotly and effectually upon this Matter as it grew into a great ●lame which was like to burn all England if France had known how to entertain it and make Advantage of this Occasion and Disorder The Accident befallen the Earl of Warwick and the new Authority of the Duke of Somerset served for a Pretence to Ambition and were the Specious and Superficial Causes of the War The Duke of York accompanied by the Earl of Salisbury and followed by all the Faction of the White Rose raised a powerful Army and ordered it to march directly to London The King took the Field on his part with the Party of the Red Rose and with all the Forces he could draw together The Battel was Fought at Northampton And God who is not pleased that just Right should always prevail and that Fortune should follow Vertue every where permitted the Royal Army to be Defeated and the King himself to be taken Prisoner by the Rebels The Duke of York grown insolent by his Victory brought him in Triumph to London and caused him to be shut up in the Tower Seeing himself secured on that side he put off his Mask of colourable Pretences wherewith he began the War And Represented to the Parliament the double Right his House and Fortune gave him to the Crown Force in like Occasions is a powerful Piece and Victory an Eloquent Advocate However the Parliament yielded not wholly to Force and Victory It respected the Vanquished Right and durst not Degrade Majesty though devested and loaden with Chains The Resolution of the Parliament was that during the Life of Henry the Duke should rest satisfied with the Title and Functions of Lieutenant General of the Kingdom and that the Crown should pass by Succession to his Son Edward Earl of Ma●●●● to the Exclusion of the House of Lancaster A greater Affliction could not befall the Queen she saw her Enemies upon the Throne the King her Husband in Prison and under the hands of an Executioner the Prince her Son publikely Degraded and Excluded from the Crown by a Solemn Decree All that could have Supported her in this Revolution was either fallen or tottering And except her Courage and Hopes which Fortune was not able to cast down there was nothing about her but Shipwrack'd pieces of a ruined Greatness But afflicted Vertue doth not waste her self in outcryes and tearing her hair She knows how to Discipline Affliction and animate Grief she knows how to set together broken pieces and contest with Ruins The Couragious Queen made this use of it And instead of exhausting her self by vain Complaints and Superfluous Tears Instead of Imputing her Mishap to the Planets or accusing Fortune she thought to overcome in Despite of the Planets and Fortune and began to Levy new Troops To supply the Defect of Money which she wanted the grace of her Speech and Countenance served in lieu of Pay to the Souldiers And this Honourable Payment left a sting in the most benummed Souls and infused Boldness into the most Fearful Not believing that she might handsomly commit to Lieutenants an Affair which concerned the Freedom of the King her Husband and the Destiny of her House she resolved to take part in the Danger and attempt in Person against Fortune She put her self then in the Head of her Army and marched directly to York where the Forces of the Enemy were Encamped England never saw an Army which had a more Beautiful Leader No● did it ever see any one Fight with more Courage The Duke of York who Mustered above Ten thousand Men perswading himself that he might purchase a young Queen at a cheap Rate went to meet her against the advice of his Commanders and presently exposed the Business to a general Battel It cannot be express'd what the Queen effected by the Greatness and Courage of her Words by the fire of her Eyes by the boldness of her Looks and of her whole Person She infused Courage Ardour and Impetuosity into her People She seemed to give even Sense Activity and Address to their Weapons If Victory her self had Marched before them in the Equipage and Lightnings which our Imagination ascribe to her she could not have done more The Rebels received a total Overthrow The Duke of York taken with his Son the Earl of Rutland and the Earl of 〈◊〉 passed through the hands of the Executioner Their Heads were exposed upon the Walls of York on the point of three Spears To the end the Example might make a greater shew and be the more Famous and that Rebellion might be instructed afar off and with the more Terrour A Crown of Paper begitting the Dukes Head was the particular Mark and Punishment of his vain Pretensions This first Victory raised the Queens Heart without Impriding it And the new Greatness she added to it was a Solid and Modest Greatness a Greatness of Designs and Hopes and no puffed up and vain-glorious Greatness Not being able to think her self Victorious as long as the King her Husband remained a Prisoner she resolved to pass through all Dangers to break open his Prison or expire at the Gate This Resolution taken she steers her course towards London Meets the Earl of Warwick who led a gallant Army and augmented by the Defeat of the Earl of 〈◊〉 Couragiously Attaqu●s and Routs him enters London Crowned with two Victories draws her Husband out of the Tower and replaceth him upon the Throne with the general Applause of the People Certainly if there be no Victories so pleasing as those which are blessed by the Unhappy and whereat Captives rejoyce even in their Prisons and ●●ons surely it was with a sweet and pleasing Transport that this Victorious Princess broke her Husbands Chains drew him out of Prison and replaced the Crown upon his Head And whatever is said in order to the Glory of Ancient Triumphants though they entred Rome with more Pomp and Tumult yet certainly they did not enter with a more Pure or Lawful Joy then that of Margaret when she entred the Tower of London But the Joy of this World hath wings as well as Fortune And like her rides much way and lodges in few Places Scarce was Henry well acquainted with Liberty and his new Kingdom scarce was he replaced upon his Throne when he understood that all the Thorns of the White 〈◊〉 were not pluckt out And that Edward Earl of March Heir to the Ambition of his Father the Duke of York and Successor to his Enterprises advanced with a Powerful Army to finish what his Father had but rough-drawn He was not advised to expect him not to confide in the People of
