de Manans The Ladies and the Maids of the two Queens closed the March being followed by the Queen Mothers Guards abundance of Trumpets blowing all the while The Ceremonies of the Rites of Marriage and the manner of performing them being Romish are not requisite being also strange and difficult to be understood to be inserted here The 2 of June the Pope's Nuntio the Ambassador of Venice the Resident of Genoa the Envoy of their Royall Highnesses of Savoy and the Deputies of the Parliament of Paâ— had Audience of their Majesties whom they Complemented about their Marriage and the next day they departed for Byonne where they were sumptuously received thence to Bourdeaux in the like but more sumptuous manner and so in conclusion to Paris where severall Triumphall Arches and Collossus were reared with in impresses relating to the Peace and their Nuptials being met without the Town near St. Germans by the Militia of that great City But all the Triumph and Honour they could render their Majesties together with the Auxiliary splendor of the Nobility came infinitely short of His Majesty of Great Brittain's Coronation and in truth of his Entrance which had appeared far brighter had it not been for the Dust that covered all the finery and sullied the rich Habits that were worn that day Except only some of the Princes of the Blood of France as the Prince of Conde and some four more which alone made it seem a Magnificence whereas in the Coronation of King Carles where was no distinction to be made by Strangers between the several Noble men of that Caralcade but of that hereafter Let us now look home to the subsequent and remaining Honours of the Kings Restitution On Thursday the last of May the most Illustrious Princes the Dukes of York and Gloucester took their places in the House of Peers threby restoring it to that veneration which the rudenesse of the vulgar and Anarchists had deprived it of for so many foregoing years where the Lords did unanimously concurr with the Commons in a Petition to be sent unto his Sacred Majesty to desire his Royal assent for an Anniversary Thanksgiving to be observed throuhout all the Kingdomes on the 29. of May for the great blessing the Lord had bestowed upon the Kingdome in restoring his Sacred Majesty But that wâ—ch mainly concerned the glory of his Majesty was that Justice should be done upon the Murtherers of his Royal Father the efore it was moved the â—ame day in the House of Commons that it be referred to the Committee to prepare a Proclamation to require all those to come in that late upon the Trial of his late Majesty or else to be left to the Justice of the Law On Friday following his majesty to compleat the Parliament went by Water to Westminster in the Brigandine where he passed the private 〈◊〉 to 〈◊〉 House of Lords the Yeomen of the Guard making a Lane the Heralds at Arms in their rich Coats the Maces before him and the Lord Generall bare before his Majesty When his Majesty came to the House the Usher of the Black rod went to acquaint them that his Majesty desiâ—ed to meet them at the House of Lords when they weâ—e entred his Majesty made a short Speech and gave his Royal assent to three Acts viz. 1 The Act for Confirmation of this Parliament 2 For the Tax of 70000 l. per mâ—nsem 3 For the continuance of Processe and Judiciall proceedings after which the Lord Chancellor made a Speech more at large Herein the King appeared in his proper and full Orb and spread those rayes which the long darknesse of his misfortunes had clouded and obscured constituting the parliament more by his presence then by this his assent The next thing was the filling up of his Majesties Privy Councill and supplying the Courts of Judicature there were honours ab intus let us see what others and those innumerable though small which do tantamount to great ones from his subjects and Foreign princes It were an endlesse labour almost to repeat those many Addresses presented to his Majesty let it suffice there was never a County in England that saluted not the Kings hands with some feeling gratulating expressions of his Majesties return being signed by all the Nobility and Gentry and Ministers thereof some particular Cities and Corporations presenting his Majesty with some more substantiall complements which yet for the most part consisted of Surrenders then called Gifts of his Majesties Majesties Fee Farm Rents particularly the City resigned their graunt from the State of New-Park by the mouth of the Recorder Sir William Wilde who told his Majesty that the City had been Stewards for him to preserve his Game and woods which they came to tender to his Majesty The King answered that he looked upon their tender not as from Stewards but would receive it as a gift from them for which he returned them many hearty thanks The like Addresses were made also from the respective Regiments of the Army new moulded again under other more Loyal Commanders so that as the Model revived it before his late Majesties Overthrow so the new model extinguished it as his present Majesties restoration On the 14 of June came out the aforesaid Proclamation against the Kings Judges many of them fled before divers of them now came in and rendred themselves as the Proclamation directed to the Speaker of the House of Commons who by order of the said House committed them to the Serjeant at Arms. It is fit we should bestow a glance The Triumphs at Edinbrough off from these satiatory Triumphs here to the imitation of them in his Majesties other Kingdoms to begin with Scotland which take in a Letter from Edenburgh The Magistrates of this City and Presbytery being most sensible of this great mercy received did appoint the 19. of June the day of their Publick Thanksgiving to God for his Signal love and kindnesse shewed to them in investing their most gracious Soveraign in his Thrones of England and Ireland and for restoring him to his Government over this his ancient Nation that for twenty hundred years hath flourished under the Scepter of his Royal Ancâ—stors and gave notice of this their Resolution to all the the Burghs and Presbyteries of Scotland desiring their Concurrence that as the cause was so their joy might be universal The Ministers that day in their Sermons with so much fervency and passionate expressions delivered what great kindnesse the Lord had done for them that it was observed their exhortations were never entertained with such attention and so plentiful Tears by their Auditory The English Officers of State and War observed the Thanksgiving with no lesse joy and devotion After Sermon and after the Magistrates had all dined together they marched from the Councell House to the Crosse in this Order The Town Councel in their Gowns with their Trumpets sounding before them went first then two Bailies before the English Commissioners and Officers and
