TO THE QUEEN-MOTHERS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY May it please Your Majesty WITH the Most Humble and Most Prostrate Submission I lay at Your Feet this my Endevour which though for its own worth it may justly be debarr'd such bold Approaches yet for its Illustrious Subject and most Stupendious matter will well become Your Most August Presence That Elevated thought enforced this Addresse to Your Royal Hands the Lustre of Your Son Our Sacred Soveraign's Glory being so Dazeling to the rest of the Weak-Sighted World that it were a Presumptuous Vanity to Court any other Eye then Your Self the Fountain of this Marvellous Light In Your Blessed Womb Heaven Treasured and Matured those before Vnrevealed Exaltations of Humane Nature beyond all Her former most benigne and Industrious Excesses of Felicity which while other Princes have stooped to by some Politique Observances and Wooed their Difficult Scepters it most officiously hath Bowed and Humbled it Self to Our Dread Soveraign and obsequiously sollicited His Acceptance May Your Majesty be Graciously pleased therein to imitate Him who so much Resembles Your Self by Vouchsafing a Reception to this Reflexe but weak and imperfect Representation of those Magnificences Which as they did Primarily Proceed from Your Majesty so ought they principally to return thither to be the inseparable and fruitful Blessings and Delights of Your Bosome God Almighty never cease such Rewards of Your most Celebrated Vertues here and Crown them hereafter when He shall after a long Train of Prosperity change these Temporal into Eternal Glories So prayes Your MAJESTIES most Obedient and most Dutiful Servant JAMES HEATH To the READER IT is not to be doubted but that decaying and dim-eyed Time must very obscurely and dully render the Glories of His Majesties Restitution to the rich and pregnant Expectation of Posterity for even after the immediate Passage of the most famous of them no Fancy was able to reduce them to Memory neither in the Beauty or Order thereof such the Stunning and amazing Ravishments such the rare Curiosities and splendid unlook'd-for Bravery besides the Novelty and Modishnesse of its excelling Decorations We say Sermons have not that Efficacy in the Eye which they have in the Ear certainly these Triumphs will lose much of their Gallantry and Delight in the Relation and Hearing which they had in Seeing like the Filings of Gold they lose of their weight in every change of the Scale so that it is impossible to expresse them in any dresse of Language suitable to that Garb which Gods Providence or mans Joy attired and manifested them in their several Solemnities 'T was thought a fair and obliging Design howsover to trace them with the speediest indagation and quickest pursuit could be made to the recovery of as much of these Grandeurs as a research was capable of which beginning from Originals no lesse Sacred then miraculous may well be excused if it be at a losse sometimes being also outgone by their swift transiency and permeation into the lasting durable Firmament of His Majesties most assured Empire and Government But who am I who dare to attempt this Flight who have neither the Eagles eye nor his Plumes and have never trusted the Aire of Fame 'T is too sublime an Enterprize I must confesse for so mean an Undertaker but yet assisted by the Medium of publick Desire and Benefit which can no way better be delightfully advantaged then in the how rude soever Perpetuation of those Heaven-prepared Fineries I have adventured aloft with this couragious impulse Magnis tamen excidit Ausis But he who shall more intently and prudentially consider this discourse may perhaps observe some necessity thereof as well as pleasure the utile justly taking place of the dulce and challenging other more grave and laboured Argumentations and Defences of Regal Authority For 't is not in the power of Reason or Force of words to charm people and Subjects into that veneration of their Princes which the silent yet awful Majesty of their magnificent publick Appearances can most redoubtedly conciliate and Command By these glorious distances the regardful Subject is kept within his bounds and by such Pomp the Throne is raised from the Level of Plebeian Encroachment to its due height and most Sacred impervious Ascent Love and Fear the Great Props of Government being never more equally attempered in men to the harmonious Conservation of the Peace then by these State Grandezza's True Policy being like true Religion which once denuded of its Decency and Ceremonies is quickly profaned by the malapert vulgar and invaded by Sedition and impudent ignorance And we have sad Experiments of them Both. To redresse which confident Mischief Almighty God was pleased to proceed in His Majesties Restitution by the most Magnificent Method he ever showed in any of his works since the Creation and having brought about that glorious design did also inspire the hearts of His Subjects with a most extraordinary and cheerful reverence of His Majesties Person and Authority which to evidence and demonstrate to Him and the World they did express in these ensuing Anglorum Magnalia here digested and recorded as the most sumptuous Oblation of our Solemn Respects and Gladnesse upon His Majesties Return that after Ages may know how we valued this Mercy and as the Expiatory Sacrifice of all those Contumelious barbarous Indignities done to the Person of our late Martyr'd Soraign Vale.

Morning But before they went out of the Hall of the Castle the Burgo-masters presented themselves and M. Snel in the name of the rest delivered this Oration Sir The Magistrate and Council of â—en of this Town of Breda The Speech of the Burgo-master of Breda present themselves again with a most low reverence before your Majesty to render you most humble Thanks for the honour it hath pleased you to do the Town by the residence you have made here and to bring you a last proof of the perfect Joy which the wonderful success of your Majesty hath caused as it is the powerful hand and infinite Providence of God which hath drawn your Majesty out of a Gulf of dangers and hath conducted you through a Desart of Afflictions even unto the Entrance of the Greatness which your Predecessors have gained to their Royal posterity This is the Subject of our Joy Sir when we know that after the success of 〈◊〉 Battels Victories gained at the price of the blood of Subjects may content the Ambition of a Prince transported yet your Majesty is of that debonnair disposition and so good a Prince your thoughts so generous and magnanimous as to prefer an innocent Triumph before all other advantages of the world We praise with all our hearts that great God who hath begun this great Work in the Person of your Majesty and pray him ardently that it will please him to hear the Devotions which we shall continue to make uncessantly for the prosperity of the voyage and Reign of your Majesty The King answered That he thanked the Magistrate Council for the Affection they expressed to him and should endeavour to acknowledge it on all Occasions that should be presented unto him Whereupon the Burgomaster having taken the liberty to reply That since his Majesty had the Goodness to accept the Affection and Zeal they had for his Service he besought him most humbly to remember the Grace which he had made them to hope for when he concluded in that place by Treaty with the Deputies of Scotland some years since that he would be pleased to honour the Town of Breda and its Inhabitants with all the Favour which the Laws of his Kingdom would permit to grant them The King answered That he rememembred it very well and that he was obliged to do so much for a Town where he had received such acceptable News and which had rendred him so many testimonies of Respect and Affection The King took Coach after this Audience and betwixt eleven and twelve of the Clock came to Marvaert His Majesty embarques He found some Squadrons of Horse there in Battalia and the Deputies of the States of Holland who presented themselves at the Boot of his Coach and made him their Complement in the name of their Superiours at the entrance of their Province After some Addresses and short Salutations he proceeded to the end of the Causey or Dike where they had made a Bridge from the Dike to the Pinnace to facilitate his Embarquement For that splendid Occasion they as formerly they used to do for a Coach to conduct Ambassadors requested the Pinnace or Barge of the Princess Dowager of Aurange which should represent that of the States But the King having viewed it and some others chose one which by his former use of it as delighting much to pass by water he knew commodious and because that of the Princesses was not great enough to lodge the King and the Princess Royal of Orange who would pass the night by the King her Brother with persons necessary for their Service That Barge was formerly made for the Prince of Aurange and was the biggest of the Fleet which consisted of thirty great Barges besides innumerable other Barks called Yachts a kind of little Frigots The Vessel the King was in so pleased him that he said in Discourse to the Deputies of Holland that he would cause one to be made in the same manner as soon as he should arrive into England to serve him upon the Thames above Bridge This gave occasion to one of the Deputies Mr. de Vlooswick of Amsterdam to tell the King that lately they had made one in their Town of the same bigness at least as commodious every way which he took the liberty to offer to his Majesty The King neither accepted nor declined so that Order was privately sent to Amsterdam to make it ready and gild it with curious Paintings inside and outside which at his going away was presented to him and is now the Brigandine his Majesty useth on the River The Distribution of the other Yachts to the Lords and their Retinue The Order of the Fleet. was transferred upon the King no person of the Dutch being able without some disgust to appoint them The Duke of York Admiral The King therefore in this occasion ordained that the Duke of York should perform the Office of Admiral in consigning the Yachts under his Authority and in his Presence so that his Royal Highness gave himself the Yacht of the Princess Dowager of Orange The Duke of Glocester had that of the States of Holland the Princess Royal to attend her one of the Yachts of the Council of State The Deputies of Holland were shipt in Mr. Beverweerts Yacht where Don Estevande Gamarra who went to meet the King at Moordike not in quality of Ambassador of Spain but as a particular servant of his Majesty the Rhinegrave the Lord Crofts and other English Lords The Chancellor of England and S. Edw. Nicholas embarqued themselves in a little Pinnace call'd the Maid of Zeland the Marquess of Ormond in another the Marquess of Worcester in the Postillion of Zeland the Lord St. John and Bellasis in that of the Admiral Lieut. of Holland St. Thomas Clargy's with his Attendants in the Yacht of the Town of Dort the Lord Gerard and other Noblemen in the Governours of Sluce The Prince of Oranges Yacht was reserved for the Chamber and Wardrobe of the Princess Royal. Every of these Vessels had its Steward and all other Officers necessary for the Kitchin and Buttery and they which had not the commodity to have their Kitchin aboard themselves were accompanied with other Barks where Chimnies were made for the Kitchin and Ovens for the Pastery and Provision of so prodigious a quantity of all sorts of Meats of Fowl of Sweet-meats of Wine that all the Tables were plentifully served therewith and in such great abundance that the English Stewards that are known to be rather superfluous than otherwise being accustomed to large provisions were astonied thereat and confessed that they could not comprehend how they could make ready in Boats which were so tossed twenty or five and twenty great Dishes for every Table I insist the longer upon this Naval Story because never any such thing happened before in Holland there is a Character of that Nation that they dwell upon the Waters and certainly it was verified here such a multitude
Esquires and a Page following the Heraulds going before them with their Coats not put on but onely hangîng loose on their Arms to King Hen. 7th Chappel where after the wonted reverence performed they took their seats Prayer being done they returned to the Painted Chamber and the other Rooms adjoyning to repose themselves till the supper of two hundred dishes at his Majestyes charge was brought to the Court of Requests where they placed themselves according to their Seniority on the Tables by the wall side their Esquires and Pages wayting on them on the other Supper ended the Lord Cornwallis and Sir Charles Berckly the Tresurer and Comptroler of his Majesties Houshold gave them His welcome and then conducted them to the painted Chamber and to the Lords House adjoining and some other near rooms where their bathing vessells and beds which were Pallets with Canopies were prepared being covered with red say There after they had bathed more or lesse as each of them found convenient they remained all night early in the morning were bade good morow by his Majesties musick Then arising and apparelling themselves in a Cordeliers habbit being a long russet gowne with wide sleeves and hood tied close about the middle with a cordon of Ash-coloured and russet silke reaching down almost to the knees and a white Napkin or handkercheife hanging thereat they proceeded to H. 7th Chappel in the same order as the night before doing the same reverence and heard Divine Service and took the usual Oath before the said Lords Commissioners which was read to them by Sir Edward Walker Principal King of Arms in these words Right dear Brethren GReat worship be this Order to every of you You shall honour God above all things You shall be stedfast in the faith of Christ and the same maintain and

thereto fastned two long strings of white silk with buttons and tossels of red silk and gold and a pair of white gloves tyed to them a white Hat and white Feather in this garb they dined in the painted Chamber thence girded with a sword the Pummel and cross Hilt whereof were guilt the Scabbard of white leather and Belt of the same with gilt spurs carried by their Pages they marched on horseback by seniority to White-hall with the Heraulds before them from the old Pulace round about the New and so through King-street going round about the place where Charing-Cross stood and then to Whitehall where they alighted and after they had gone about the first Court they were conducted up by the Heraulds to the banqueting House where his Majesty sate under a cloath of State to receive them They were brought up by six and six each between his two Esquires with his Page carrying his Sword before him In their approaches towards his Majestie they made three obeysances and each Knight being presented by his two Esquires upon their knees to the King the Lord Chamberlain of his Majesties Houshold receiving the Knights sword from the Pages and delivering it to the King who with the sword of State ready drawn conferred upon them their respective Knighthoods by laying the sword upon their shoulders and so put the presented sword upon the Knights neck in such sort that it might hang on his left side and then the said Scabbard with the order hanging in it Which done the Knight made his obeysance of gratitude to his Majesty and falling back the rest were brought up and Knighted in like manner After this they went down into his Majesties Chappel and there heard Divine Service with the Organ and Anthems and then went up six at a time to the Altar and offered up their swords where Gilbert Lord Bishop of London Dean of his Majesties Royal Chappel received them and laid them upon the Altar and afterwards restored them with this admonition By the Oath which you have taken this day I exhort and admonish you to use these swords to the Glory of God and defence of the Gospel to the maintainance of your Soveraigns right and honour and to the upholding of Equity and Justice to your power So help you God This done they returned from the Chappel where the Kings Mr. Cook stood with his chopping knife in his hands challenging their Spurs which were severally redeemed with a Noble in money As they past by he said Gentlemen you know what a great Oath you have taken which if you keep it will be great honour to you but if you break it I must hack off your Spurs from

till the Evening the 13 of May from whence Sir Joseph took Post leaving the Duke of Ormond to make preparation for the Reception of Her Majesty That same Night the Royal Fleet with the Princely Bride came to St. Helens point the Eastermost Promontory of the Isle of Wight almost opposite to Portsmouth from whence had it not been too bold a venture to hazzard her Majesty in that narrow Streight of Sea and in a Night Tide they might have reached Portsmouth the next morning but making use of the day Tide which served about 10 of the Clock on Wednesday the 14 of May the Queen landed at Portsmouth about 4 a Clock in the Afternoon where she was received with all possible demonstrations of Honour the Nobility and Gentry and Multitudes of Londoners in most rich Apparel and in great numbers waiting on the Shore for Her Landing and the Maior and Aldermen and principal perlons of that Corporation being in their Gowns and with a Present and Speech ready to entertain Her the Cannons and small shot both from round that Town and the whole Fleet ecchoing to one another the loud Proclamations of their Joy It is observable that at Southampton the next Fort Westward two Sturgeons being of Royalty due to the King came into that River and were presented to the Maior as His Majesties chief Officer in that place who sent one to Portsmouth as a small but auspicious and fortunate Present to Her Majesty who was every day expected there and the other at a Feast was distributed amongst his Brethren of that Corporation The good people of that place taking them as happy Prognosticks being Male and Female of that blessed Union of their Majesties by a Princely Increase of Issue to succeed them The King having received the Expresse of His Queens Landing prepared to be gone forthwith to salute Her upon Her Arrival but His great Affairs of State and Bills to be ratified by Him into Acts of Parliament which were not quite ready for His Royal Assent delayed Him at Whitehall till Monday night the 19 of May having sent before Him the Bishop of London who departed on the 17. in Order to the Solemnizing of the Marriage His Majesty having signed all the Acts which are now so many wholsome and good Laws as no age of our Fore-fathers can boast of to adorn and honour His Queens Arrival posted away at 9 a Clock that Night with His ordinary Guards in the Earl of Northumberlands Coach Prince Rupert with Him only to Kingston where he came soon after 10. and at the end of that Town entred into the Earl of Chesterfields there set ready for Him and the Duke of Yorks Guards to attend Him and came before 12 at Night to Guilford being 25 miles where He lodged that Night and next morning posted with the same speed to Portsmouth where He arrived about Noon to the mutual Joy and Content of His Royal Self and Consort But because of Her indisposednesse which yet held Her in Her Chamber the King satisfied Himself by giving Her a Visit in private that day and then withdrew to His own appartiments much resenting the distemper She was in by Her long passage for His sake which He most affectionately signified to Her and made appear to all Persons attending on Him by His Melancholy and retired Comportment Yet it pleased God to restore Her Majesty to such a degree of Health that She was able to go abroad to Consummate the Marriage Rites which were performed in the Church of that Town Wednesday May 21. by the Right Reverend Father in God Gilbert Lord Bishop of London according to the Ceremonies of the Church of England after which the Nuptials were concluded by His Majesties Bedding His most Excellent Lady that Night in this His Town of Portsmouth If the Reader shall now expect Her Character I may ingenuously and justly enough challenge the ablest Pen with a quis sufficit Flies cannot catch Eagles Her soaring and Excelse Vertues surmounting all Essayes of Flight or Pursuit after them so that no quill can trace or discover their Altitudes Let me invite only your present admiration and future Expectation of those Felicities which attend them to be their competent and illustrious Expositors Their Majesties having thus celebrated their Rites of Hymen for the better perfecting that Health so happily restored to the Queen purposed to stay a little time longer in that Town in which Interim Visits were given to the Grandees of Portugal who came over with the Queen by all the English Lords and Ladies and by them again returned until the Removal of the Gourt next Week to Winchester thence to Farnham to Windsor Castle and so to Hampton Court where their Majesties took up the most part of this Summer 1662 as well for the Salubrity as Majesty of the place being the most absolute compleat and magnificent Structure of all the Royal Palaces But that which is the most eminently great and gives the matchlesse Honour to this Marriage is the great accession that is made to the Crown of England in point of Trade and Commerce besides the Treasure and Territory we possesse as this Ladies Portion We have first an open Navigation into most part of the East-Indies where the Portugal is more potent then the Dutch having several Kingdomes there the principal thereof is that of Goa where for the Security of our Trade and other Considerations of State we have by this time several Forts that Command the Country delivered to some English Forces sent thither lately in a Fleet by His Majesties Command so that the Company trading thither will receive notable advantages to the thrusting out the Hollander from His Covetous Ambition of managing solely the Wealth and Riches of the East In the West Indies they are possest of Brasilia from whence in 1654 they valiantly expelled the said Dutch a place of good Traffique and now free to the English Marchant from whence are brought Commodities of good value But the chiefest place of Importance is the City of Tangier seated by the Mouth of the Straights of Gibralter on the Africk shore which serves not only to bridle and represse the Piracies of those Dens of Thievery Algiers Tripoli Tunis and the rest by being of necessity forced to passe in sight when they venture into the Atlantick Sea through that Straight but also if occasion be will be of same benefit and commodionsnesse as the Sound is to the King of Denmark as through which no Ships of what Nation soever trading into the Levant can passe or repasse without his Majesties leave if he shall please to keep some ships to that purpose in that Harbour I omit the Portion and store of money the Jewels and Pearls c. as great as any Princesse in Europe ever brought because I will not presume to meddle with those sublime particulars The Queen received the Addresses of all the Nobility and Submissions of the several Deputies for the Cities of
