omit also the sumptuous and rich Liveries of their Pages and footmen some suits of Liveries amounting to fifteen hundred pounds the numerousnesse of these Liveries and the orderly march of them as also that stately Equipage of the Esquires attending each Earl by his Horse-side so that all the world that saw it could not but confess that what they had seen before was but solemn mummery to the most August noble and true glories of this great day In this order the King arrived at Whitehall a good time before the evening and then retired himselfe to supper and so to his Rest to recommence the next day and to put an end to this Triumph All the Kingdome over great rejoicing was made by feasting and other showes as the several Bands of the Countreys with the additional voluntary Gentry in a new and gallant Cavalry which show'd the resurrection of their former Loyalty in its immutable State of peace and Glory not to be thereafter interchanged with the sullen humours and moods and most sawcy ridiculous presumptions of County Committee-men and such like venemous mushirooms It s the disgrace of this work to mention them and therefore in complyance with our subject omitting the same Triumphs in Scotland and Ireland with in the express resemblances of this Magnificence several Honors being conferred both by the Lord Commissioner his Grace and the Lord Justices on that solemnity we will take a full view of all our personal Dignities at home We proceed then to those magnificences of the King which are in Honorante not in Honorato After the miserable vulgarly multitude of those evil Councellors we had been opprest with for so many years who had raised themselves to the mysteries of Government by their publike scandals thereof in its former administration following the impious politicks of Absalâ—n see an Assembly of Princes met in his Majestyes most Honorable Privy Council whose superlative and eminent endowments assisted by their conspicuous Grandeur restored the Form of the Brittish Empire such as Palla â—gloried to be in the midst of Her Heavenly deâ—cent being sâ—ited with their Noble extractions and their excellencies in all pâ—udent menage of the publike accompâ—ished to Her own authentical institution of true Policy such Pâ—lots whose haâ—py and skilful hand could guide the tossed baâ—k of the Kingdom in the darkest night and the most affrightful tempests when there was neither Su Moon nor Stars no face of Authority no rule nor directions nor Chart to follow in the unexampled case of our late distractions without any other compasse then their Piety to God Duty to their Prince and love to their Countrey by which they confidently steered through all those shelves rocks and sands which eminently threatned its Shipwrack and Destruction Their sacred names for perpetual memory to the eternal Fame of this their blessed conduct understanding that by his Majesties call to this sublime eminent dignity their precedent services were signated and notified to the world as most Religiously and gratefully is due are here transmitted among the rest of his Majesties felicities to inquisitive posterity The names of his Majesties most Honorable Privy

Chivalry a medium betwixt war and peace that there might be nothing which his Majesties Fortunes could not comprehend The most Honourable Order of the Garter famous for its Martial and Civil atchievements had been dragd in the dirt and trampled under foot of Plebeian Anarchy and usurpation when the innocent charm of its motto Honi soit qui mal y Pense evil be to him that evil thinks which had preserved it so many ages found not veneration or respect being ridled by that monster of Rebellion to be a badge and significator of its certain though long lookt for Vltion avengment in its own dire retorts and self punishing revolutions It is not nor ever will be forgotten how they abased this Royal Ensign the highest Order of Knighthood in the world to the infimest and lowest avilements when it was derided by the most abjectest and meanest degree of the people when its True blâ—w was â—aâ—ned with the blotts of Fantise and imbecillity of courage its star was dimmd and lookt like a fallen meteor in the lower Region and St. George was enchanted by the Dragon Now the fates had decreed that our Charlemain should break this spel and recover this champions celebrated order to its greatest splendor by filling up those vacancies death had made by a new and solemn instalment Some of these most honourable Knights survived to his Majesties restitution some be made abroad others be decreed so and they were so de jure having had the order sent them but the investiture was wanting The rest of these Noble companions were allyed to the restoration all of them are ranked in the manner as they sate at VVindsor April the 23. 1662. being St. Georges day where after the usual magnificent procession his Majesty renewed the usual solemnitys and grandeurs thereof himselfe being

where after the Lord Mayor had taken his leave of him his Majesty went to the Lords who were assembled in one of the Rooms there where he was welcomed in a Speech made by the Earl of Manchester Speaker then of the House of Lords and from thence he went to the Banquetting house where the House of Commons were assembled and was likewise welcomed by the Speaker thereof in another Speech to the Originals of both which the Reader is referred wherein he may find the glad and joyfull sense of the whole kingdome Vide The Speeches of the E. of Manchester and Sir Harbottle Grymston at his MAJESTIES comming to White-Hall Printed by the Printers of both Houses TO these Speeches His Majesty returned a short but obliging Answer That he was so wearied with his journey and the applause and noise of the People in his passage which yet he said was very acceptable and pleasant to Him that he should say little to them at present but referred and reserved what he had to speak to them while his meeting them in Parliament And so taking his leave retired himself and supped with the two Dukes in the Chart Chamber privately The Solemnity of this Day was concluded with all demonstrations and testimonies of universall joy which most of all appeared in the light and cheerfull Countenances of the People which by reflection kindled such an infinite number of Bonfires that all the Houses seemed to be Chimneys being supposed to equall very near half the Habitations of the streets where with safety they might blaze both in London and Westminster Among the rest a costly one was made in the City of Westminster where the Essigies of Oliver Cromwell was set upon a high post with the Arms of the Common-wealth which having for a while been exposed there to publique view with Torches lighted that every one might take notice of them were both burnt together The Forrein Ambassadors and publick Ministers here resident did likewise highly express their Joy for His Majesties happy Arival here on Tuesday last by their publique Demonstrations especially the Ambassadors of France and Portugal and the Plenipotentiaries of the King of Sweden who in particular besides bonfires and giving of wine and throwing of money among the People made very gallant Emblems upon the businesse of the day That King was Oliver's greatest Confederate and this Fire did in a manner purge and Expiate the pollutions of that Filthy League Thus the King returned to us Thus he bestowed and brought the Blessings of Peace and Honour to these his distracted infamous Kingdomes yet the Glory of this his Restitution was not Nobis to Us alone but to the greatest part of the Christian World besides For at this time the Peace in the North was Cemented by the Pacification and Agreement between the two Kings of Denmarke and Sweden now questionlesse consolidated and firmed for ever by the indubitable affection and assistance of this Crown to that of Denmarke in case of a Rupture If His Majesty could in the dawn and but glimmering of his Restitution by his Commands to Gen. Montague awe the daring design of the Swede by standing a Neuter how much more will he be able to bridle and represse the attempts of that quarrelsome People when in the greatness and height of Power and absolute Dominion he shall undertake to vindicate his near Ally for whose Interests he had such pregnant respects as to declare himself when his own were in dubio and uncertain This was but one Concomitant see a more illustrious and most August which passed under the Famous and celebrated Name of a GENERALL PEACE between the two Crowns of France and Spain whose united Ambition presumed to blesse the Christian World with such a Rarity that was only attributable to the single and singular Grandeur of our Monarch on whom the Divine Providence was pleased to accumulate all those Felicities which through his alone influence have ever since vouchsafed Prosperity to the Nations round about us O Nimium Dilecte Deo And because there may happen some inquiry hereafter concerning those Transactions which were concluded in a Marriage betwixt the French King and the Infanta of Spain of which among us sometime before there were other Hopes and Discourses it will not be impertinent to relate the Solemnity of it here for in the Conclusion of this Discourse it is probable we shall see a more illustrious Paralell not to say to cry quits with it because it is matter of State and an Arcanum Imperiâ— which we dive not into the weaknesse of our eyes being dazeled and scarse able to behold the apparent lustre of the publique The Narrative thereof follows as an aditionall necessary ornament and appendix This Treaty between the two Crowns was Commenced about the middle of Summer 1659. when Sir George Booth first appeared in Cheshire for the King It had been long before in project and designation but cannot be derived so far as that of the Kings Restitution The place of meeting was at a Confine of both Kingdomes an Island called by the name of St. John de Luz on a river which divides the French and Spanish Dominions where only the two great Favourites and Ministers of each Crown met the Cardinal Mazarine and Don Lewis de Haro His Majesty of Great Brittain was here himself present to conceâ— his Affairs in the Treaty as also Lockhart from his Masters at Westminster under the guard and protection of the French in so much danger besides privacy he resided there Much time it took up in composing and stating the severall Pretensions when His Majesty was called away by his unquestionable and undubitable right which was adjudged without any praeliminary terms or limitation to attend his own Affairs and leave them disputing theirs which upon secret intelligence and their own judgement and opinion they perceived would so readily advance as might if a present Conclusion were not made put both Crowns to new Councels such as the strangeness of the English Revolutions would render very difficult and perplext if after such a progresse either Party should recede so that the King did more than hold the Ballance already Therefore Mounsieur de Lyonne of the French side and Don Piementell of the Spanish made many journeys to and fro between both Courts to hasten the Conclusion of all the present Transactions The Bishop of Aurange likewise much stirred about the same The Popes Nuncio laboured therein together with the Venetian Ambassador to whose Arbitration the remaining Differences were at last referred Shortly after on the 18. of May 1660. the Count of Fuensaldagne arrived at St. John de Luz bringing all satisfaction from his Catholique Majesty so that all things being regulated between the two Crowns the Marriage might be celebrated on the 23d of May at Fontarabia Castle on the Spanish side and Consummated in the 29. of the same month Never could any thing fall patter or sute better with the Honour of
His Majesty whose most glorious Birth day it was and on which he triumphantly entred His Royal City and Chamber of London where he married himself to the affections of his People so that all the honours of this Triumph so intended were but the Handmaids and Attendants of the Kings whose Nativity was to be followed by no lesse Grandeurs then the Conjunct resplendencies of the 2 lately most Potent Princes of Europe By the same designation the King of Spain was expected at Fontarabia the 22 of May and several dayes after appointed for these Ceremonies the 25. the Duke of Crequi was to carry the presents from the French King to the Infanta the 26 the first view was to be between the King of Spain and the Queen Mother of France the 27. the two Kings were to meet the 28. the Infanta was to be delivered into the Hands of the Queen her Aunt the 29. her Marriage was to be consummated Some of these Dayes indeed afterward by some casuâ— interventions were altered but mark how rightly that Marriage was calculated to that Meridian Star of Glory at the Kings Nativity take a full account of it as it passed On the 23. of May about 7. a Clock at Night the King of Spain with the Infanta and all the Grandees of his Court arrived at Fontarabia many Trumpets sounding before him and with the Noyse of all the Canon and the Shot of the Musqueteers of that Place who gave fire above an hour together In the mean time the said King went into the Castle of the Town prepared before for His Reception and hung with very rich Arras Till 9. of the Clock his Majesty and his Noblemen refreshed themselves being extremely weary of a long march in a very rainy day About that time his Majesty called all his Grandees to him and in their presence demanded of the Infanta her renunciation to the Crown of Spain which she gave very willingly under her hand on the 24. his Catholick Majesty came to the Infanta's Lodgings to let her know that she was to be married that day desiring her to be ready about a 11. of the Clock to go with him to the chief Church of that place About One of clock in the Afternoon the Bishop of Pampelune being informed that the King of Spain was a coming took on him Pontifical Habits and the Crosse and the Pastoral Hook being carried before him with Musick he came to the Church dore to receive his Majesty who alighting from his Coach was conducted by the said Bishop the Infanta being on the Kings left hand both under a Canopy with Curtains on all sides but that which looked towards the Altar The King and the Infanta were no sooner upon their knees but the Bishop began a little or low Masse which was a very short one During which the Bishop of Frejus took his place by the Patriarch of the Indies being both the respective witnesses for their respective Princes The Masse ended the Eishop put off his Priestly Garments and took on him the Episcopal Robes and coming down from the Altar drew near to the Canopy under which the King of Spain and the Infanta were All this while Don Lewis de Haro was behind the Canopy but then coming near and having made a very low obeysance to the said King and Infanta as Ambassador for the most Christian King he presented to the Bishop the Proxy he had of the said King to marry the Infanta which being read publiquely and accepted of the Infanta fell at the King her Fathers Feet where after many reciprocal
