many salutations and promises to Graves-end they went and from thence on and a shipboard 16 As soon as my Lord was entred the Barque and the King as his Servant the Master of the Vessell came to my Lord and told him that he knew the King and told him That in case it should be known he could expect no mercy which saying troubled them But at length what with mony and promises they prevailed and so set saile for Havre de Grace where they landed and from thence to Roven where they cloathed themselves and writ to Paris 17 The late Queen of England his Mother receiving an expresse from him made present supplication to the King of France for his reception in which the Queen Mother was no little active with her and so he was permitted and an Expresse sent to the Duke of Orleans for

His Highnesse the Duke of Orleance conducted the Scots King through part of the City to the Louver but with no small discontent of the Citizens who are some of them ready to mutiny about it and yet many flocked to see him and amongst those divers mocked and jeered so that the great resort seemed to be rather in derision and scorn then out of any good will His Mother knew so well the dis-affections of the people that she did not come along at all with him nor did meet him untill she heard that he was come to the Louver and then presently she repaired to him She hath spent most part of her time of late about the raising of a Fabrick at Chaliot for the making of a Nunnery from whence she now came to visit her son 22 There was then a grave Councell held at the Louver of the Scots King the Duke of Orleance the late Queene of England and some others who after some complements required a Narrative of the English Affaires the relation whereof produced some laughter at the rediculousnesse of his condition 23 The Substance of the Scots Kings Speech The Scots King told them what happened at the fight at Worcester gave some reproachful words against the Scots put some scurrilous language on the Presbyterian party in England and boasted much of his own valour Told them how hee slipt out of Worcester and how near he was taking there first in the Fort and after in his Chamber How he disguised himselfe and went from County to County and what shift he made for victualls and lodging Sometimes being driven to beg a peece of bread and meat and ride with bread in one hand and meat in the other And sometimes setting a Guard about a little Cottage while hee rested there untill the morning That he went up and down London in a Gentlewomans habit where he saith he never saw handsomer Coaches then they have now that he met with severall persons that wished him no harme and that at last he got to the Sea-coast and there imbarqued himselfe for this Coast in a Boat that my Lord Wilmot had provided and hired beforehand He said he knew nothing what was become of the Duke of Buckingham and that he had no other Company or Followers but the said Wilmot since he landed He said further that he was never in better health having got no harm at all in the fight 24 Ormond and Inchequin are sent for from Caen my Lord Taaffe from Holland who hath been Treating with Loraine to undertake the businesse of Ireland which is all agreed on if the King will consent that Lorraine shall have the Title of Protector and the Towne of Lymrick a cautionary Garrison for his
