A BRIEFE RELATION OF The Remarkeable occurrences in the Northerne parts Viz. The Landing of the QVEENES MAIESTIE In the Bay of BURLINGTON And The repulse given unto the Rebels at the Towne of NEWARK Both signified by severall Letters on the same day being Friday March 3. 1642. Printed by H. Hall M. DC XLII A BRIEFE RELATION OF TWO REMARKEABLE OCcurrences in the Northern parts c. AFfaires of ordinary nature may be and are most properly imparted by the weekly Mercury matters of higher consequence and more neere concernment deserve a story by themselves And such is that we now have in hand of the QUEENES Majesties returne after so long absence after so tedious a divorce from her dearest LORD a whole yeares banishment at least from Her sweetest Children the common pledges of their loves To this wee shall adjoyne a Briefe Relation of the repulse the Rebels had the last weeke at Newarke partly because the story of so great a Princesse ought not to come into the world without some Attendant partly because it was the most remarkable successe which befell His Majesty after Her arrivall and finally because the King received intelligence of both at the same time and from the hands of the same Messenger First for the QUEENE it cannot be unknowne to any upon what termes Shee tooke the oportunity to go for Holland that She might see Her dearest daughter delivered safely to the hands of the Prince of Orange her Majesties affaires here at that time being in such condition that shee could neither stay with safety nor yet be absent without danger For who can possibly forget in so short a space the sequestring of her neerest servants the Articles intended to be framed against her the flight she was compelled to make nothing the more secure because His Majesty did pertake the same fortune with her from Whitehall unto Hampton-Court and from thence to Windsor Nor need it be related what good offices shee did His Majesty during the time shee spent in those forraine parts in furnishing him from time to time with Money Armes and Ammunition and that too from a State no great friend to Monarchy and where so strong a party had beene made against her by the power and practice of those men by whom His Majesties affaires had beene reduced to so great extremities It is enough to say that never King had a better Agent and that as wee already do enjoy the benefit thereof so shall posterity enjoy the story Being wearied at the last with so long an exile and finding that His Majesties affaires were in such prosperity that she might venture safely upon his protection she was resolved to come for England and did accordingly put forth to sea on the 19th of January last being well guarded and attended the wind so favourable that there was little doubt of Her speedie landing and thereupon a messenger dispatched to the Court at Oxford to give His Majesty notice of it But the wind comming suddainely about and the seas working very high She was inforced at last to make sayle for Holland after She had continued on the seas eight daies and with a most invincible courage contended so long for the mastery with that furious Element The newes of this being brought to London and a report withall how many Souldiers and Commanders what store of money gunpowder Armes and horses She had intended to bring with Her occasioned great joy there for the ill successe which had befallen Her at the present and put Her enemies who have too great an influence on the two Houses of Parliament on some quick debates how to prevent Her landing for the time to come and if that might not be prevented then how they should proceed against Her when they had Her here Foure ships which had beene formerly appointed by the said two Houses to lie before the haven of Newcastle were ordered not to suffer Her to passe the barre at Tinmouth unlesse She left Her Ordinance and ships behind Her Upon occasion of a letter to the House of Commons from the Mayor of Yarmouth to know what entertainment he should give Her Majesty if She landed there such a report of Her intentions being brought unto him Master Martin learnedly declaimes against that title would not by any meanes allow that stile of MAJESTIE to belong unto Her no not so much as in the right of participation with Her Royall Husband a right which every married woman in this Kingdome doth lay claime unto affirming with an impudent confidence like that of Bessus in the play that she was no other then their fellow Subject This presently drew on a new debate though not like that amongst the Brethren of the sword in jest how they should handle Her amongst them when she came again some moved that a strict inquisition should be made into all Her Actions during the time she staid in Holland and that according thereunto an impeachment should be drawne against Her for those ill offices which She had done unto this Kingdome that is to say unto themselves Others of a more cunning malice and more wit to hide it would not have it so this being as they said no time to stirre that controversie Better some course were taken to prevent Her comming and that the ships they had at sea should have charge to hinder it if She attempted to set foote upon English-ground Accordingly this course was followed And when intelligence was brought that two of Her ships laden with Armes and Ammunition were landed safely at Newcastle under the conduct and command of Van-Trump Admirall for the States Generall of the united provinces it was ordered by the Close Committee that if the Queene or any of Her ships came againe that way they should either keepe them from the land or give fire upon them All which appeares by severall letters of advise from London We see the preparation made for her entertainment Never was such a Feast provided I dare boldly say it for the reception of a Queene A Lady of so innocent a greatnesse that we may say of her as the Historian doth of the beloved wife of Augustus Caesar that never any of the subjects felt how great power she had but either by adding to their honours or mitigation of their punishments But it pleased God who tooke her into his protection that though she felt their fury yet she scaped their malice For being brought upon a second setting out within sight of England with such a calme and gentle gale as if both Sea and Windes repented of their former rudenesse the Winde that studied her convenience brought her being then within few leagues of Newcastle where she intended to have landed to the Bay of Burlington by meanes whereof her landing was more safe then it had beene otherwise her passage shorter unto Yorke where she meant to stay untill His Majestie should give order for Her removall and the Kings forces nearer at hand to
