by Sir Edward Walker principal King at Arms which being by the Lord Chamberlain delivered to the King and from him to Secretary Nicholas were by him read and then given by his Majestie to the respective Nobles who after they were vested with their Robes had their several Caps and Coronets placed upon their heads by his Majesties own hands as he sate in a Chair of State These likewise were ordered to attend the King at his Coronation which commenced its glories Monday the 22d of April aforesaid it having rained for a month together before it pleased God that not one drop fell on this Triumph which appeared in its full lusture and grandeur but as soon as the Solemnity was past and the King and his Train at dinner in Westminster-Hall it fell a thundering lightning and raining with the greatest force vehemence and noise that was ever heard or seen at that time of the year The Streets were gravelled all the way and filled with a multitude of Spectators out of the Country and some forreigners who acknowledged themselves never to have seen among all the great magnificences of the world any to come near or aequal this even the vaunting French confessing their pomps of the late Marriage with the Infanta of Spain at their Majesties entrance into Paris to be inferior in its State gallantry and riches unto this most Illustrious Cavalcade The manner of the Kings Passage was thus The Heralds having called over and placed the Nobility and Gentry who attended the Solemnity in the Tower they went from thence immediately about ten in the morning and joining with the others which were placed without proceeded in this manner THE King having lodged monday-night the 22 at White-Hall on Tuesday morning April 23 St. Georges day his Majesty went from Whitehall by water to be Crowned at Westminster As soon as his Majesty was landed and was ready to set forward to the Abby the Dean and Prebends of VVestminster brought all the Regalia to his Majesty who delivered them to severall great personage to bear before him and when he came to the West dore of the Abby the Dean and Prebends met his Majesty and received him with an Anthem all along up the body of the Church and Choir All the Peers with their Coronets in their hands came up along with his Majesty till his Majesty was placed in a chair of State not in his Throne then the Lord-Bishop of London for the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury went to every of the four-sides of the Throne and at every of them spoke to the the people in these words Here I present unto you King Charles the rightfull inheritor of the Crown of this Realm Wherefore all you that are come this day do your Homage service and bownden duty be ye willing to do the same Whereupon all the Peers in their Parliament Robes and people gave a shout testifying their willingness This while the King standing from his chair turned himself to every of the four sides of the Throne and at every of them spake to the people who again with loud acclamations signified their willingness all in one voice After which the choire sung an Anthem in the interim whereof his Majesty Supported by 2 Bishops of Durham and Bath and Wells and attended by the Dean of Westminster went to the steps before the Communion Table where upon Carpetts and Cushions the King offered a Pall and a peice of Gold After his Majesty had offered he went on the right hand and kneeled down during a a short Collect or prayer and then Sermon began which was preached by the Lord-Bishop of VVorcester Sermon being ended the Lord Bishop of London went to the King for the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury and asked if he were pleased to take the Oath usually taken by his predecessors to which his Majesty shewed himself most willing Then his Majesty rose out of his chair and by those two that before assisted him was led up to the Communion Table where he made a Solemn Oath to observe those things he had before promised After this Oath the King returned to his chair and kneeled at his foot-stool while the Hymne of the holy Ghost was singing which ended the Letany was sung by two Bishops After which the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury began and said Lift up your Hearts c. Then his Majesty arose from his devotion and disrobing himself of his upper-garment his under garment being so made as the places to be annointed might be opened by undoing certain loops which the Archbishop undid his Majesty setting in a chair the Archbishop first annointed the palms of both his hands the choire singing an Anthem after which and certain prayers the Lord Archbishop proceded and annointed his breast between the shoulders on both the shoulders the bending of his Arms and the Crown of his head whereupon the Dean of VVestminster closed the Loops and the Lord Arch-Bishop said several Prayers which ended the Coyf was put on his Majesties head and the Câ—lobium â—ndouis or Dalmatica then the super-tunica of cloth of Gold with the Tissue buskins and Sandals of the same then the Spurs were put on by the Peer that carried them then the Arch-Bishop took the Kings sword and laid it on the Communion Table and after Prayer restored it to the King which was Girt upon him by the Lord great Chamberlain then the Armil was put on next the Mautle or open Pall after which the Lord Arch-Bishop took the Crown into his hands and laid it on the Communion Table prayed and then set it on the Kings head whereupon all the Peers put on their Coronets and caps the choire singing an Anthem next the Archbishop took the Kings ring prayed again and put it on the fourth finger of the Kings hand after which his Majesty took of his sword and offered it up which one of the chief peers then present redeemed drew it out and carried it naked before the King Then the Arch-Bishop took the Scepter with the Cross and delivered it into his Majesties right hand the Rod with the Dove into the left and the King kneeling blessed him which done the King ascended his Throne Royal the Lords Spiritual and Temporal attending him where after Te Deum the King was again enthroned and then all the Peers did their Homage The Archbishop first who then kissed the Kings left cheek and after him the other Bishops After the Homage the Peers altogether stood round about the King and every one in their order toucht the Crown upon his head promising their readiness to support it with their power The Coronation being ended the Communion followed which his Majesty having received and offered returned to his Throne till the Communion ended and then went into St. Edwards Chappel there took off his Crown and delivered it to the Lord Bishop of London who laid it upon the Communion Table which done the King withdrew into the traverse where the Lord Great Chamberlain of
serve for the ensuing Parliament which was to set down on the 25th then instant were honest Patriots and well affected to his Majesty and that they would labour indubitably for the re-establishment of the King assoon as it should be compleat and that their sitting down would certainly commence the day prefixed and appointed From that time forward there passed not a day almost that the King received not some remarkable News upon which he might ground infallible hopes of his Restauration On the 15th of the same Moneth Sr. John Greenvile since Earl of Bath and Sr. John Boys brought him Intelligence of the deseat of Gen. Lambert he had been Prisoner in the Tower of London by vertue of an Ordinance of the Council of State and had made an escape thence with design to put himself in the head of those who were strugling to continue the Anarchy and our Ruine but he was suddenly supprest and taken by Col. Ingoldsby 〈◊〉 Edge-hill where to the greater Honour and content of the King and his Felicity the last dying effort of the Rebellion was quell'd where its first potent Arms opposed it self against his Royal Father Remarkable also was the manner of the dissipation of those Rebels for never did Lambert betray such meanness and abjection of Spirit as in that rendition of himself to his formerly fellow-Colonel a most evident sign that God had consternated and utterly confounded them not only one among and against another but even in themselves perplexing and distracting their thoughts and dashing and turning their greatest Resolutions He was brought back to his former Prison the Tower and there better secured and since removed to the Isle of Jersey The King received the same day Letters from General Montagne then riding in the Downs which assured him of the good estate of the Affaires of the Kingdom and of the sincerity of his Intentions of which he had already given Proofs many moneths before when S. George Boeth took up Arms for the King in Cheshire Now his Majesty thought it time to appear to his People The Kings Letters and Declarations to Parliament and Army and City from out of that obscurity wherein his hard Fortunes had so long while concealed him which he did with such a sudden Brightness that struck Joy and Chearsulness into the Eyes and Faces of all his Subjects For presently he sent away the Lord Viscount Mordant and Sr. John Greenvile to London with his Declaration and Letters dated from this place to the 2 Houses and the Lord Mayor and Common Council of the said City and the General and Officers of the Army who arrived soon after the sitting down of the Parliament and on the 2 of May delivered them to the Speakers That Sacred Name of the King which not long time was the aversion and abhorrence of base mechanick fellows and Phanaticks was heard with veneration and inspired into that Illustrious Assembly such extraordinary and advantageous motions for the King that it is impossible to express them It will be enough for the honour thereof to say that whereas not above 3 or 4 moneths before it had been a Crime of High Treason to speak in Parliament in behalf of the King no sooner now is that great name pronounced than a general Joy appeared in the countenances of all the Commons and most high and dutiful Respects for that Divine Character By Vote of the Houses therefore Sr. John is desired to enter the Speakers receive the Kings Letters from his hand the Clerk read them every one in the mean time with the greatest expressive submission in the world standing bare-headed His majesty had thereunto as before said added a most excellent Declaration for the safety and repose of those who cortur'd in their thoughts for having partaken in the Rebellion might fear the punishment of it and in that fear might oppose the tranquility of the State and the calling in of their Lawful Prince There never was seen a more perfect Assembly of all the most excellent natural Quilities and of all the vertues as well Royal as Christian where with a great Prince may be endowed than was found in those two wonderful Productions as was evident in their acceptance and entertainment They were full of Piety and Zeal for the Glory of God and for Religion of tenderness towards the Afflictions of his People Esteem for the Parliament Firmness for the Conservation of his own Rights an admirable Prudence for the regulating of Affairs and an inexemplar conduct for the re-establishing of the Government in its former state Love for the good indulgence for the seduced and a more than Christian Clemency for Criminals or rather for Crime it self for a Crime I say so black and so abominable that as there was not an Example of it in History since the Creation of the world so his Majesty hath not altogether been so wrought upon by his innate Goodness as to let it pass for an example unpunished to Future Ages Both these Papers wrought the Effect which the King promised himself from them since they absolutely gained the hearts of the people which the miseries of the time past had already very much disposed to the acknowledging their Prince For they were no sooner read but the Parliament declared that the Tenders and Sentiments of the King were Gracious Good and Generous and Conformable to the Fundamental Laws of the Kingdom the Government whereof ought to confist of King Lords and Commons and forthwith ordered that most humble Thanks should be returned to his Majesty for the Gracious Letters and Declarations aforesaid and that for a present supply of his Majesties occasions and in order to speed his Return the sum of fifty thousand Pounds was appointed for a Present to which the City of London added ten thousand more They likewise ordered that General Montague should sayl with his Fleet to attend the Kings Pleasure on the Coasts of Holland That the Two Houses and City of London should send Commissioners respectively from them to beseech him to come and take possession of his Kingdoms which God and his Right had given him and that in the mean time Sr. John Greenvile should be disparched with the Parliaments Answer and should carry to Brada the Resolutions and Prayers of the Two Houses or rather the impatience which the Nation had to see again their Natural Soveraign after a sad absence of many calamitous and miserable years But that which was most remarkable in these Resolutions was that they were not taken after a long contestation consult or dispure nor upon a simple acquiescement of the Parliament in a major Vote but by the express Suffrages and Votes upon the universal and unanimous consent of all the Members of both Houses who strove in aeleg mulation of each other which should give the greatest Proof of Affection The Parliament also gave Liberty to the Noble General to send Mr. Clarges now Sr. Thomas being Knighted by the King at Breda his
Morning But before they went out of the Hall of the Castle the Burgo-masters presented themselves and M. Snel in the name of the rest delivered this Oration Sir The Magistrate and Council of â—en of this Town of Breda The Speech of the Burgo-master of Breda present themselves again with a most low reverence before your Majesty to render you most humble Thanks for the honour it hath pleased you to do the Town by the residence you have made here and to bring you a last proof of the perfect Joy which the wonderful success of your Majesty hath caused as it is the powerful hand and infinite Providence of God which hath drawn your Majesty out of a Gulf of dangers and hath conducted you through a Desart of Afflictions even unto the Entrance of the Greatness which your Predecessors have gained to their Royal posterity This is the Subject of our Joy Sir when we know that after the success of 〈◊〉 Battels Victories gained at the price of the blood of Subjects may content the Ambition of a Prince transported yet your Majesty is of that debonnair disposition and so good a Prince your thoughts so generous and magnanimous as to prefer an innocent Triumph before all other advantages of the world We praise with all our hearts that great God who hath begun this great Work in the Person of your Majesty and pray him ardently that it will please him to hear the Devotions which we shall continue to make uncessantly for the prosperity of the voyage and Reign of your Majesty The King answered That he thanked the Magistrate Council for the Affection they expressed to him and should endeavour to acknowledge it on all Occasions that should be presented unto him Whereupon the Burgomaster having taken the liberty to reply That since his Majesty had the Goodness to accept the Affection and Zeal they had for his Service he besought him most humbly to remember the Grace which he had made them to hope for when he concluded in that place by Treaty with the Deputies of Scotland some years since that he would be pleased to honour the Town of Breda and its Inhabitants with all the Favour which the Laws of his Kingdom would permit to grant them The King answered That he rememembred it very well and that he was obliged to do so much for a Town where he had received such acceptable News and which had rendred him so many testimonies of Respect and Affection The King took Coach after this Audience and betwixt eleven and twelve of the Clock came to Marvaert His Majesty embarques He found some Squadrons of Horse there in Battalia and the Deputies of the States of Holland who presented themselves at the Boot of his Coach and made him their Complement in the name of their Superiours at the entrance of their Province After some Addresses and short Salutations he proceeded to the end of the Causey or Dike where they had made a Bridge from the Dike to the Pinnace to facilitate his Embarquement For that splendid Occasion they as formerly they used to do for a Coach to conduct Ambassadors requested the Pinnace or Barge of the Princess Dowager of Aurange which should represent that of the States But the King having viewed it and some others chose one which by his former use of it as delighting much to pass by water he knew commodious and because that of the Princesses was not great enough to lodge the King and the Princess Royal of Orange who would pass the night by the King her Brother with persons necessary for their Service That Barge was formerly made for the Prince of Aurange and was the biggest of the Fleet which consisted of thirty great Barges besides innumerable other Barks called Yachts a kind of little Frigots The Vessel the King was in so pleased him that he said in Discourse to the Deputies of Holland that he would cause one to be made in the same manner as soon as he should arrive into England to serve him upon the Thames above Bridge This gave occasion to one of the Deputies Mr. de Vlooswick of Amsterdam to tell the King that lately they had made one in their Town of the same bigness at least as commodious every way which he took the liberty to offer to his Majesty The King neither accepted nor declined so that Order was privately sent to Amsterdam to make it ready and gild it with curious Paintings inside and outside which at his going away was presented to him and is now the Brigandine his Majesty useth on the River The Distribution of the other Yachts to the Lords and their Retinue The Order of the Fleet. was transferred upon the King no person of the Dutch being able without some disgust to appoint them The Duke of York Admiral The King therefore in this occasion ordained that the Duke of York should perform the Office of Admiral in consigning the Yachts under his Authority and in his Presence so that his Royal Highness gave himself the Yacht of the Princess Dowager of Orange The Duke of Glocester had that of the States of Holland the Princess Royal to attend her one of the Yachts of the Council of State The Deputies of Holland were shipt in Mr. Beverweerts Yacht where Don Estevande Gamarra who went to meet the King at Moordike not in quality of Ambassador of Spain but as a particular servant of his Majesty the Rhinegrave the Lord Crofts and other English Lords The Chancellor of England and S. Edw. Nicholas embarqued themselves in a little Pinnace call'd the Maid of Zeland the Marquess of Ormond in another the Marquess of Worcester in the Postillion of Zeland the Lord St. John and Bellasis in that of the Admiral Lieut. of Holland St. Thomas Clargy's with his Attendants in the Yacht of the Town of Dort the Lord Gerard and other Noblemen in the Governours of Sluce The Prince of Oranges Yacht was reserved for the Chamber and Wardrobe of the Princess Royal. Every of these Vessels had its Steward and all other Officers necessary for the Kitchin and Buttery and they which had not the commodity to have their Kitchin aboard themselves were accompanied with other Barks where Chimnies were made for the Kitchin and Ovens for the Pastery and Provision of so prodigious a quantity of all sorts of Meats of Fowl of Sweet-meats of Wine that all the Tables were plentifully served therewith and in such great abundance that the English Stewards that are known to be rather superfluous than otherwise being accustomed to large provisions were astonied thereat and confessed that they could not comprehend how they could make ready in Boats which were so tossed twenty or five and twenty great Dishes for every Table I insist the longer upon this Naval Story because never any such thing happened before in Holland there is a Character of that Nation that they dwell upon the Waters and certainly it was verified here such a multitude
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

the Souldiery the Oracle of the Sword was now to be fulfilled in turning it to Plow Shares and Pruning hooks the Long riddle of the War to be resolved into a lasting and certain Peace The great Alexander of the North qui cunctando restituit rem undid the Sword by the ties of his discreet and temporizing Allegiance The Obligations by his Prudence Worth Discipline Valour and Vigilance which he laid upon the Army civilized their untamed Spirits and brought them to a just sense of their obedience and knowledge of themselves the Diabolical illusions which had possessed most of them now the appearance of Englands Redeemer was at hand totally disappeared and they presently return to their innocence such as mistaken duty can be allowed for in this following Addresse to the King which because of its summing up all the Circumlocutions and mistakes of the Rebellion and most highly magnifies the wonder of the Kings Restitution is here transcribed in its own words it was drawn up while the King was at Sea and therefore it is placed here though delivered to Him on Dartford Heath May 29. the day of His Entrance WIth such a joy as flowes from Reverence and Love we present our selves before Your Sacred Majesty Besides our Reflection on the Common Good which in this happy change relates to our Particular intends this joy and renders it sincere For we can now please our selves in our selves while we are really performing that duty for which we were raised And with all thankfulness we acknowledge that care Your Majesty in Your late Letter and Declaration hath expressed of our necessary concerns We blesse God to see that day when the Serenity of every mans Countenance discovers the Tranquillity of his mind for this shewes Your Majesty to be the Soul of Your People since during Your absence the Nation was cast into such distractions as we have no pleasure to remember but had rather turn our thoughts and grateful acknowledgements to the happy Conduct of our noble General who hath thus far lead us in our duty to your Royal Person Yet as we cannot attribute too much to his merits so neither can we deprive our selves of that Honour and Comfort which we find in the accomplishment of his just designe Therefore in plain and Souldier-like though humble terms we say Your Majesty hath made us and the Nation happy in Your Return to this Your Native Kingdome which doubtlesse will nay we may say hath produced a Settlement upon the Foundation of our Ancient Laws by the due execution of which together with Your Majesties pious Inclinations we trust Libertisme and Profanenesse will be wholly suppressed the Protestant Cause and true Professors of it encouraged to the Comfort of all Your Religious and good People Your Majesty will now have Your great Councel about You who have already given proof of their Loyalty and Wisdome both to Your Majesty and Your People We professe and declare That as we have not been altogether uselesse in the Restauration as well of Your Sacred Majesty to Your Crowns and Kingdoms as the People to their just Rights so shall we for the future chearfully sacrifice our Lives or whatsoever can be more dear to us in the Service of Your Majesty against all Oppositions whatsoever and by a ready obedience to Your Commands expresse our Selves Your Majesties most loyal Subjects and obedient Servants Something hath been said already as to the Emblem of the Peace the Lawyers Cown but the Law was already restored and returned into its ancient Channells and Bounds the writs issuing in His Majesties Name and the Courts of Judicature setting by His Authority the States great Seal having been brought into the House of Commons and there broke and the pieces thereof given the Commissioners for their Fees now ensues some preparations for the Gospel The Sacred Name of the King like that of Jehovah with the Jews had been not out of reverence but danger or despight seldome or never indeed used in the Pulpit it being a piacular Crime to mention the King in our prayers when Curses and speaking ill of him though in despight of Solomons warning againâ—t such malediction of Princes was the safest and most advantageous Course Now God would Honour the place where his Name was to be called upon with due Veneration to that of his Vicegerent His Omniscience declaring that his terrible Name cannot be revered where his annointed Ones is despised Especially such a Prince whom he had so signally brought forth protected and restored The Pulpit therefore is reconsecrated which the impudent intrusion and blasphemy against God and the King had profaned The Purity of Divine Worship was to be recommenced with the acknowledgement of the Title and Style of his Majesty who bears not in vain the name of the Defendor of the Faith Accordingly in most of the Churches upon the first intimation of the order of Parliament to that purpose though some and many other Loyal congregations had antevened it the King was solemnly prayed for to the great heightning of the Peoples devotion and thanksgiving to Almighty God who had given an earnest of his Majesties personal by this nominall presence amongst them to the further exaltation of their praises to him But to refer these and other preparatory glories of the King to their consummation in his Return it will be time to look back to the Royal Fleet now floating
