remarkable dayes to inaugurate their favors that they may appeare Actes aswell of the times as of the Will he was Created Marquis of Buckingham and made Lord Admirall of England Chiefe Iustice in Eyre of all the Parkes and Forrests in the South-side of Trent Master of the Kings-Bench office none of the unprofitablest peeces Head Steward of Westminster and Constable of Windsor-Castle Here I must breath a while to satisfie some that perhaps might otherwise wonder at such an Accumulation of benefits like a kinde of Embroidering or listing of one favour upon another Certainly the hearts of great Princes if they be considered as it were in abstract without the necessity of States and Circumstances of time being besides their naturall extent moreover once opened and dilated with affection can take no full and proportionate pleasure in the exercise of any narrow Bounty And albeit at first they give onely vpon Choice and love of the person yet within a while themselves likewise begin to love their givings and to foment their deeds no lesse then Parents doe their Children but let us goe on For these Offices and Dignities already rehearsed and these of the like nature which I shall after set downe in their place were as I am ready to say but the facings or fringes of his greatnesse in comparison of that trust which his last most gracious Master did cast vpon him in the one and twentieth yeere of his Raigne when he made him the Chiefe concomitant of his heire apparant and only sonne our deere Soveraigne now being in a journey of much Adventure and which to shew the strength of his privacie had beene before not communicated with any other of his Majesties most reserved Counsellers at home being carryed with great closenesse liker a busines of love then state as it was in the first intendment Now because the whole Kingdome stood in a zealous trepidation of the absence of such a Prince I have beene the more desirous to research with some diligence the severall passages of the said journey and the particular Accidents of any moment in their way They began their motion in the yeere 1623. on Tewsday the 18. of February from the Marquis his house of late purchase at Newhall in Essex setting out with disguised Beards and with borrowed Names of Thomas and Iohn Smith And then attended with none but Sir Richard Greham Master of the Horse to the Marquesse and of in ward trust about him When they passed the River against Gravesend for lacke of silver they were faine to give the Ferry-man a pecce of two and twenty shillings which strooke the poore fellow into such a melting tendernesse that so good Gentlemen should be going for so he suspected about some quarrell beyond Sea as he could not forbeare to acquaint the Officers of the I owne with what had befallen him who sent presently post for there stay at Rochester through which they were passed before any Intelligence could arrive On the brow of the Hill beyond that City they were somewhat perplexed by espying the French Embassador with the Kings Coach and other attending him which made them bleuch the beaten Roade and teach Post hackneys to leape hedges At Canterbury whether some voyce as it should seeme was runne on before the Mayor of the Towne came himselfe to seise on them as they were taking fresh Horses in a blunt manner alleadging first a warrant to stop them from the Councell next from Sir Lewis Lewkner Master of the Ceremonies and lastly from Sir Henry Manwaring then Lieutenant of Dover Castle At all which confused fiction the Marquis had no leasure to laugh but thought best to dismaske his beard and so told him that he was going covertly with such slight company to take a secret veiw being Admirall of the forwardnesse of his Majesties Fleete which was then in preparation on the Narrow Seas this with much a doe did somewhat hansomly heale the disguisment On the way on afterwards the baggage post boy who had beene at Court got I know not how a glimering who they were But his mouth was easily shut To Dover though bad Horses and those prety impediments they came not before fix at night where they found Sir Francis Cottington then Secretary to the Prince now Baron of Hanwart and Master Endimion Porter who had beene sent before to provide a Vessell for their transportation The foresaid Knight was enjoyned for the neerenesse of his place on the Princes affaires and for his long Residence in the Court of Spaine where he had gotten singular credit even with that cautions Nation by the temper of his Carriage Master Porter was taken in not onely as a Bed-chamber servant of Confidence to his Highnes but likewise as a necessary and usefull Instrument for his naturall skill in the Spanish tongue And these five were at the first the whole Parada of this journey The next morning for the night was tempestuous on the 16. of the foresaid Moneth taking ship at Dover about six of the clocke they landed the same day at Bulloyn in France neere two houres after Noone reaching Monstruell that night like men of dispatch and Paris the second day after being Friday the one and twentieth but some three posts before they had met with two German Gentlemen that came newly from England where they had scene at Newmarket the Prince and the Marquis taking Coach together with the King and retained such a strong impression of them both that they now bewrayed some knowledge of their persons but were out faced by Sir Richard Greham who would needs perswade them they were mistaken which in truth is no very hard matter for the very strangnesse of the thing it selfe and almost the impossibility to conceive so great a Prince and favorite so suddenly Metamorphized into travellers with no greater traine was enough to make any man living unbeleeve his five sences And this I suppose next the assurance of their owne well resolved Carriage against any new accedent to have beene their best Anchor in all such Incounters At Paris the Prince spent one whole day to give his minde some contentment in veiwing of a famous City and Court which was a neighbour to his future estates But for the better Veiling of their visages his Highnesse and the Marquesse bought each of them a Perriwigge somewhat to overshaddow their foreheads Of the King they got a sight after dinner in a Gallery where he was solacing himselfe with familiar pleasures And of the Queene Mother as shee was at her owne Table In neither place desired no not by Mounsier Cadinet who saw them in both one hath bin lately Ambassador in England Towards Evening by a meere chance in appearance though underlined with a providence they had a full sight of the Queene Infanta and of the princesse Henriettae Marie with other great Ladyes at the practise of a Masquing Daunce which was then in preparation having overheard two Gentlemen who were tending towards that
