and Felicity which redounded thence to his Majesty but also because of the advantage which the King and Kingdom of Denmark would draw from thence which had not been afflicted and unjustly oppressed so long if that of England had been in a condition to hinder it That the King their Master would not fail to witness himself by a solemn Ambassage the joy which he received from so surprizing and so extraordinary a revolution assoon as he was advertised thereof and that they hoped in this happy Conjuncture that his Majesty would continue to live with the King their Master in the Amity Allyance and firm Confidence in which their Majesties have alwaies lived and which for some years was not interrupted but to the irreparable Prejudice of both And so that his Majesty would oppose himself generously to the violence which is done their King and succour him against the unjust invasion wherewith his Kingdom was afflicted Besides they thanked his Majesty for the honour he had done them in admitting them into his Royal Presence and for the Particular Grace which they received from thence in their persons The King thanked the Ambassadours for the Affection they had expressed to him and said that he knew very well that not only from long Antiquity there was a most streight Alliance between the Kings of England and Denmark but also that the Deceased King his Father had such great Obligations to the Deceased King of Denmaâ—k his good Cozen and to the present King himself that one of his chief cares after his Entry into his Kingdoms should be to renew that Friendship betwixt the two Crowns protesting his clear Affection to that King and his interest being touched with those Injuries that had been done him The same day also he Complemented by the Spanish Ambassadour was complemented by Don Estevan de Gamarra a Count and Councellor in the King of Spains Councils of Estate and War and Ordinary Ambassadour at the Hague but without Ceremony or demanding of Audience only he was admitted as a private Person uncovered because of the Zeal he particularly alwaies manifested to the Kings Service in many private and publick affairs being a very near Acquaintance of his Majesty's The reason why he was not admitted as an Ambassadour was because of the open Wars betwixt Spain and England at that time though no Acts of Hostility passed and the King considered mâ—tters in statu quo But the Portugal Ambassadour there the Count of Miranda could not be admitted to Audience unless he had had Letters of Credence from his Master to the King and that because the Spanish Ambassadour had it not in the quality of a publick Minister from whose Soveraign he had received all kinds of Civilities but as Sir Edward Nichâ—las who was sent from the King on this Errand told the Ambassadour that the King would be ready when he should be returned into his Kingdom to receive the Ministers of Portugal as oft as with Credential Letters they should be sent to him As was said before the King had received notice that General Montague was arrived with part of the Fleet in sight of Scheveling on the 14. of May having Orders from the Parliament to sayl thither and to await his Majesties Commands which was signified to the King by an Express from the General The Fleet at first coming thither consisted of about 18 great ships which before the King embarked were numbred to 38. being the Frigots that carried over the Commissioners of Parliament and the City of London whither we must a little return The Parliament having Voted that the Government of the Kingdom by the Fundamental Lawes thereof was vested in the King and his Parliament after they had with all Expressions of Duty testified their Joy of this happy Revolution ordered several Commissioners to be chosen by Glasses out of each House to go for the greater solemnity and Lustre of his Majesties Court to attend on him in Holland with the desires of the Parliament for his speedy return to the exercise of his Royal Authority The Lords that were chosen of the House of Peers were six the Names of them as followeth For the House of Lords Earl of Oxford Earl of Warwick was sick of the Gowtâ—and went non Earl of Middlesex Lord Visc Hereford Lord Barkley Lord Brook For the House of Commons Lord Fairfax Lord Bruce Lord Faulkland Lord Castleton Lord Herbert Lord Mandevil Sir Horatio Townsend Sir Aâ—th Ashley Cooper Sir George Booth Denzil Hollis Esq Sir John Halland Sir Henry Châ—lmley These were the prime and the most Honourable Members of that House and therfore pickt out for this extraordinary Honour of waiting on the King Not were the Citizens of London less curious in their choyce and Election of Commissioners having obtained leave of the Parliament to the same purpose and were all men of Estates and Reputation and of conspicuous Loyalty having manifested it in the late Danger of the City they were taken and composed partly out of the Magistracy partly from the principal Citizens and partly out of the Militia they were more numerous than both the other and very splendid and gallant in their Retinue being 20 in number whose Names are as follows Sir James Bunce Baron Alderman Langham Alderman Reynardson Alderman Browne Sir Nicholas Crisp Alderman Tomson Alderman Frederick Alderman Adams Recorder Wilde Alderman Robinson Alderman Bateman Alderman Wate Theophilus Bidulph Richard Ford. Will. Vincent Tho. Bludworth Will. Bateman J. Lewis Esq M. Chamberlain Col. Bromfield The Lords likewise were attended with a great number of Gentlemen and store of Servants 〈◊〉 in very rich and costly Liveries They arrived the said 14th day of May but came not on shore till the 15th but because they were not of the Kings Train and had no Letters of Credence to the State they were not treated at their Charge only out of civil respect to the Lords they had Lodgings provided for them by Billet They came to the Hague in Coaches sent by the States that Evening but they did not reverence to the King till the next day being the 16th The Estates of the Province of Holland had audience the day before in a very magnificent and solemn way and were dismissed from it with great and ample demonstrations of the Kings affection the like did the Deputies of Amsterdam in behalf of that Town and were complemented in like manner by him His Majesty vouchsafing if his Affairs would permit to accept of their Inâ—itation thither but Time and his Affairs required a dispensation from that Civility He admitted also their Request concerning the Barge or Brigandine which they tendred to him and gave them thanks for their great respects to his Person which he promised to keep in inviolable remembrance But that the King might not be troubled with multitudes of Visits every Corporation or Body of subordinate Courts purposing to demand Audience of him they forbid them by Proclamation informing them that the States of

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
and guarded both sides of the way while His Majesty passed through Being come down to Guild-hall Carpets were spread down from the Hall to the Councel-chamber for his Majesty to tread upon Before Dinner Sir Will. Wylde the Recorder made a Speech to His Majesty declaring the great Honour that His Majesty was pleased to confer on them in vouchsafing formerly to send to them His Gracious Letter and Declaration and now to add to that kindnesse by affording by affording them His Royal presence At the upper end of the Hall in the Hustings towards the West was raised 3. ascents where was placed a Chair of State and a rich Canopy where His Majesty and His two Royal Brothers dined His Majesties Servants and several Aldermen and Common-councel men giving attendance The two Houses of Peers and Commons dined at other Tables in the great Hall attended likewise by Aldermen and Common-Councel-men At the sound of loud Musick the whole Service was set upon the Table and during the whole dinner-time they were entertained with variety of Musick both instrumental and Vocal After Dinner was a very costly Banquet and then an Enterlude where a Rustick was represented to the Content of His Majesty and the rest of the Spectators Aser this His Majesty retired him into a withdrawing room where he was pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood on Alderman Reynoldson Mr. Cleyton the Chamberlain of London and Mr. Thomas Player his Son The 3. of Iuly was a Day of Prayers and Solemn Thanksgiving appointed to be kept by the Prince Elector Palatine the Kings Cousin German through all his Electoral Dominions for his Majesties happy Restauration Before the Town house in Heydelbergh was erected a stately Fountain adorned with all sorts of Fruits and Flowers from whence flowed several sorts of Wine after Sermon the rest of the day was spent in Feasting and Jollity with sounding of Drums and Trumpets the noise of the Cannon and at night many curious Fire-works were performed But that which was most of honour to the King was a ray of honour from him darted and influenced upon the Eminent loyalty and signall Services of that great Warrier and faithfull Subject his Excellency the Lord General Monck whom his Majesty was then graciously pleased to dignifie with these high Titles of Honour George Duke of Albemarle Earl of Torrington Baron Monck of Potheridge Beauchamp and Teys Captain General and Commander in Chief of all his Majesties Forces in his Kingdomes of England Scotland and Ireland Master of his Majesties Horse Knight of the most honourable Order of the Garter and one of his Majesties most Honourable Privy Councill and as an addition to this may well be annexed the honour God himself hath conferred on him in making him the chief Instrument in restoring his Sacred Majesty and in his Majesty peace plenty and happinesse to the three Kingdomes According to these Honours his Grace accompanied by the Duke of Buckingham and other Personages of high quality took his place in the House of Peers where long may he and while this shall be a Kingdome which he hath with such prudence and fidelity asserted may his Posterity set as everlasting Ornaments and Pillars of that thrice noble Estate Observe we also in the lusture of this Title the glorious Prognostick of some future greatness pointed at by his Majesty This Honour hath lain extinct ever since the reign of H. 4 when it expired in one of the Heirs of the House of York some while before that almost entire Conquest of France under H. 5. aâ—d this Dutchy lies in Normandy the Inheritance of the Kings of England now a Province of the French A Slip of that Royal Line hath now resumed the said Honour whose Martial prowesse Conduct and Heroick Atcheivments incited and raised by a just claim to a local investiture and possession the French honours being more then Titular by which our Ancestors were recompenced for their valour may in a due time restore his Majesty to that fourth Kingdome of France as well as to his 3 other Crowns of Great Brittain and Ireland especially when it shall be called to remembrance how rudely and uncivilly the French for Oliver's sake cast his Majesty out for worse then an Intruder The adapted and competent quarrel which solely challengeth the successeful Sword of this most noble Duke Nor were the triumphs of Ioy though not altogether so magnificent less expresive in forrain Countreys especially at Lisbon in Portugal Triumphs at Lysbon where upon news from Don Francisco de Mello that his Majesty of England was arrived safe to his Pallace of White-hall in quiet and peaceable possession of his Haereditary Kingdoms and welcomed from all parts of his Kingdom by the Nobility Gentry and Commons as well assembled in Parliament as out of it that came flocking to congratulate his arrival and kisse his hand the King of Portugal presently gave order that the same night all the great Guns of the Castle of the Town and of all the Forts and Castles of the Harbour should be fired in token of his joy and contentment which was accordingly performed and at the same time all the Navy-Ships and Merchant-men in the Port shot off all their Cannons All that night the whole City was adorned with Luminaries In every window of the Kings Pallace two great Torches of white Wax the Ambassadors house being set out in the same fashion The next morning his Majestie with the Infanta went forth in solemn manuer attended by all the Nobility and Gentry of the Court and City in a Noble and splendid Equipage to the Church of St. Anthony of the Capucins returned to the same Pallace in the same pomp all the Bells ringing the while This was followed after with the sport of Los Toures the Royal Reales Bull baiting never used but in the like August Solemnities which was to continue nine days The Main-mast in the middle Pallace-yard all the while bearing the Flag of England The next day Don Antonio de Souza who lived many years in London Resident and Acted so fervently for the King of England as that the Parliament sent him home having most happily laid the foundation of the glorious match between his Majesty and our Soverain Lady the Queen then an Infant done other offices to the advantage of our late as well as our present Soverain sent for many of the chief English Merchants and gave them a treatment which cost him five hundred Crowns with the greatest expressions of joy imaginable On the 26th of July the King to honour his Restitution with another glorious memorial thereof General Mountague made Earl of Sandwich confirmed the dignity of the Earldom of Sandwich Viscounty of Hinching-Brook and Barony of St. Neots upon the right Honorable Edward Mâ—untaâ—ue who had been so eminently and happily instrumental towards his reduction and had manifested his Allegiance to the King before there were any hopes visible but what were reposed in this
