the same elevation of discourse as a Prince every way sutable to those great Honours and Felicities which heaven had so graciously reserved for him And these speeches were uttered with such passion and rapture and so concerningly as if they had Denizond themselves his natural Subjects The unmatchable and incomparable happinesse and glory of this Prince to be equally beloved by his own and other Nations while we had the Fruition and enjoyment and they nothing but the amiable Idea and Platonick affection for his Person and Government They blamed their Eyes that they were so short sighted they could see him no longer they complained of our Fleet not for the injuries and losses they had caused them in War but for this done them amidst so much joy tranquillity and peace they quarrelled the largenesse of the Ocean that had so far divided and distanced the two shores in hindring them the content of seeing the continuation of their begun wonderments for the King that they might please themselves in the Aemulation of his Subjects How oft did they envy Dover the reception of that Soveraign guest whom they could detain no longer in view Reason as well as their former joy and gladnesse restrained them from sighing lest thereby they should fill and swel those Sails which winged away their delight too fast complayning even of their farewell Vollies They then returned drooping dejected to such a depth of Melancholly as if they had come from a Funeral though the Sea never laboured under such a Triumph when again at their return to those blessed shades of his abode joy get uppermost again floated and swimming in full Bowles and Healths for his Happy voyage as if they would waft him over in Vessels of Wine The remainder of that day and night was consecrated Carolo Reduci the vicine places to the Hague resounding with the like cryes â—en den Roning wedergaende to the King returning Bacchus and Ceres made the Feast and Neptune was invited and desired to bring Aeolus along with him that they might make sure there should be no disturbance by stormy weather the Gods supt upon the smooth Table of the Sea and nothing reeled but the people on shore Leave we the Dutch to dream of their past felicity and return to the Fleet which was as beforesaid under Sail for England which the Duke of York being Admiral now commanded By his order the several persons of quality were allotted and distributed to several Ships And because of the uncertainty it was not thought fit to entrust so rich and valuable a prize as the Royal Fraternity in one though never so firm a bottome therefore the Duke of York disposed of himself aboard the London a Ship newly built of the third Rank of a most excellent Fabrick and Composition and which for it's Name sake his Highnesse was pleased to honour and to continue it 's own happy appellation having received it after all the infamous places for the late Kings defeats had been adopted into the Fleet when there was some apparency of the Kings Restitution to which this City cheifly and primarily contributed and so happened to be the first Christian Ship in the Navy The Duke of Gloucester by his Highnesse order was likewise set on board the Swiftsure which Name he himself changed into James with the usual Solemnities and Customes Nothing was now heard and seen at Sea but the noise and the smoke of the Cannon which incessantly thundred all the remaining part of that day and continued in great measure all the voyage 'T was no little part of the Triumph to see so brave a Fleet in all it's glories sailing together which King Solomon observed of a single Ship to be one of the most satisfactory sights The Lord of the Ocean now kept his Court upon it in all his Regalities and gave Law to it's unruly Flouds such a calm being thereon that it was an easie observation to praesage from thence the evennesse quietnesse and stability of his Majesties future Reign and Empire Here we may not omit which hath past us in its place a particular Narrative of the reception of the Letters from his Majesty and his Highnesse the Duke of York by General Mountague then in the Downs where at the reading of them the Commanders of the several Ships stood up bare and resolved nemine Contradicente That the Commanders and Officers of the Fleet do receive the gracious Declaration of his Majesty as also the expression of his gracious purposes to them and the whole Fleet communicated in a Letter to the General with great joyfulnesse of heart and for them return unto his Majesty their most humble thanks declaring and prosessing their exact Loyalty and Duty to his Majesty and desire the Generalls of the Fleet humbly to present the same to his Majesty It was likewise resolved that the said Letter Declaration and Vote should be publiquely read to the respective Companies of the Fleet now in the Downs to know their sence concerning the same which being accordingly performed they did by loud acclamations and other expressions of joy declare their assent to the said Vote not one person in the whole Fleet manifesting their dissent thereunto The General fired the first Gun himself and cryed God blesse His Majesty Then might you see the Fleet in her pride with Pennants loose Guns roaring and Caps flying and loud Vive le Roy's ecchoed from one Ship to another which were answered with the great Guns from Deal and Sandwich Castles The General entertaining the Officers Gentlemen and Marriners in his Ship with two Pipes of Canary Thus as God turneth the Heart of the King as the Rivers of water so did he turn the heart of those that dwell upon the waters to the King The strong Stream and Tyde of Loyalty influenced by the superiour motions returned with an overflowing excesse of Gladnesse and bless'd these Islands with a deluge of joy Even those very men who so lately had declared against Monarchy and His Majesty in expresse terms and stemm'd the Current of duty now winded about of a sudden to their Allegiance They who had been driven with the several Euroclydons and various Gusts of the Usurpation were now led by the fair Gales of the Trade wind of Loyalty that Loadstone that after the many variations in the Compasse of our late revolutions attracted the Hearts of the most obdure obstinate and rude people fixing them in a due course by the benigne guidance of a more auspicious Cynosure Great CHARLE's Native Star The Depths of those profound pretences of Liberty and the Honour of the Nation unjustly challenged to be debased by Monarchy and swallowed up in the Prerogative were now found to be meer shallowes and quicksands whereon the Vessel of the Commonwealth was ready to be Shipwrackt and nothing but the Soveraign Pilot could save or rescue it whom the mad ignorance of unruly predatory men had desperately thrown overboard Nor was it lesse in the Flexanimity of

nor the numerous resort of the English every day to worship this Sun of the East and pay their Early Devotions to Her It will be more unnecessary to relate those other Romances and Fictions made by the Phanatick Crew at Home that there were a Fleet of Spaniards and Hollanders that lay ready in her way to intercept Her Passage into England To passe over that noble Exploit of our Fleet under the Command of the Earl of Sandwich and Sir John Lawson Vice-Admiral at Algier to the forcing those Pyrates to very honourable Conditions for the English when at the same time the Hollanders had concluded with them upon base and insecure terms of Peace we will only mention the Happy Arrival of that Fleet and the Royal Charles from England with Sir Fanshaw sent to salute the Queen for His Majesty who now impatiently expected Her Arrival as did the whole Nation together with Him just at the same time the Earl of Sandwich now the second time visiting the Queen being appointed to attend her departure and to convey Her into England Now all things were preparing for the Voyage with such a Hurry yet glad intentnesse as if the Empire of the World had been removing into a more commodious Scituation and the Dii Gentiles were transferring their Altars to be present at the Celebration of those Espousals Such the Prayers such the devoted Oraisons and lifted up Hands for the Felicity of Her transportation The multitude placing themselves on the brink of the shore and playing with those blessed Waves in its wanton refluxes with the same Religion as they dipt their hands into Holy water At the same the King her Brother and Mother with his Nobles and the whole Court made as Solemn a procession and Cavalcade from his Palace where the English Gallantry there present assisted till She arrived at the River side the Golden Tagus whose Surface and Bottome were alike precious its Sand and Burden vying with each other where She entred a Stately Brigandine and the Naval Triumphs commenced their Glory Amidst the Volleys and Tire of a Thousand Cannon and an hundred Thousands of Farewell Acclamations on the 13 April 1661 She passed in the said Noble Company and Equipage to go on board the Royal Charles in which the King Her Husband was conveyed before from Holland to His Three Kingdoms and was there welcomed by the Thunder of the whole Fleet then in its pride with Streamers and Pendants flying and their Wast Clothes out to show it in its dreadful Lovelinesse where His Majesty gave Her the innocent resemblance of Joves Courtship to his beloved Semele Towards the Evening after a Princely Collation and Foy and many passionate parting expressions which Nature extorted and wrested from Love now system'd in a Matrimonial Affection to the Person of Her Lord and Husband After those Dividents of Joy and Grief which interchanged the Scene of this Entertainment the whole was summ'd up in loud apprecations that drowned the private and heavy fondnesses of the 3 Princes of a Bon voyage and a Canon from the Admiral gave signal of Her Majesties Resolution to depart when all Hands were set on work to weigh Anchor and let flye their Sails The King and Queen Mother and their Train with sudden Tears which shewed from what fountain they came generous great Spirits cannot force a Drop for any grief whatsoever like the sweet Influence of the Pleyades gave the first happy Omen to the Fleet which it received as They were reimbarquing for Lisbon and returned with the Discharge of all the Cannon and so immediately with a fair Wind and leading Gale began their course being as they past out of the River saluted by all the Block-Houses Forts anâ—â—astles with the imitation of their Thunder That Night and part of the next day the wind and weather was very propitious while Neptuâ—â— and his Goddesse with their Nymphs had paid their Homage to this Soveraign Lady of the Sea That Courtship being ended a râ—de wind came and with an Officious Incivility stopt Her in Her way till he had whistled out an un-welcome Complement It proved a long winded Harangue not was there other way to be rid of its importunity but by diversion laveering which so retarded the Voyage that in a Fortnights time they hardly got into the middle of the Bay of Biscay where the Queens Majesty dispatcht away Mr. Mountague Sir Th. Sands Sir Joseph Douglas on the 26 of April about 7 at Night to give an Account to the King of Her Condition which the untowardlinesse and aversnesse of the Wind had much altered by protracting Her longing desires of meeting the King and also incommodating Her by the tossing and topping of the Sea so that she lay sick for the most part of the Voyage until about the 5 of May with indefatigable working and Skill the whole Fleet reached the Islands of Scilly the furthermost western Dominions of England Her Arrival had bin every day expected a fortnight before which caused the King to send down his only Brother the Duke of York Lord High Admiral to attend on Her upon the Coast and to Complement Her in His name whereupon his Highnesse hasted to Portsmouth and on the 11 of May attended by the Duke of Ormond the Earls of Suffolk and Chesterfield the Lord Berckley and other persons of Quality went aboard the stately Yangh a curious Vessel with which the City of Amsterdam presented the King to coast about the isle of Wight to meet Her Majesty On the same day Sir Joseph Douglas making towards Portsmouth with an Expresse from Her Majesty to the King was met by his Highnesse the Duke of York 5 Leagues off the Isle of Wight who commanded him back with him to the Fleet. On Sunday Morning about 10. a Clock they discovered the Royal James but there was so great a Calm that they could not reach the Royal Charles till 6 at Evening No sooner had the General espied his Highnesse Yaugh but he went out in his Barge to meet him the Royal Banner being all the while vayl'd till he was aboard When his Highnesse came into the Ship the Soldiers gave three several shouts and all the great Guns in the Royal Charles which from that time till the Queens Entrance had been silent proclaimed his Welcome after which the several Ships of the Fleet paid him their Salutes Being conducted to Her Majesties Cabbin he was placed in a Chair on her right hand where after several Expressions of Joy for Her Majesties happy Arrival on the Coasts of England and having presented His Majesties high respects to Her and as exceeding affection for Her his Royal Highnesse took his leave to retire himself to his Yaugh for that Night and the next Morning Sir Joseph Douglas was again dispatched to the King in the illustrious Company of the said Duke of Ormond and Earls and was forced to tide it thence and sometime lay at Anchor and could not reach Portsmouth
