Loyal Uotes of the Lords and Commons in the said Parliament Assembled and passionate desires of all other Our Subjects which unexpressible blessing by Gods own most wonderful dispensation was compleated on the Nine and twentieth day of May last past being the most memorable Birth-day not onely of Us both as Man and Prince but likewise as an actual King and of this and other Our Kingdoms
