Soveraign Lord. The Duke being received with extraordinary honour and submission caused the Captains of the other Ships to come aboard him and take the Oath of Allegiance which the Captains caused afterwards to be administred to the inferiour Officers and to all the rest of the Sea-men in the other Ships The Lord Mountague had caused the Flag wherein were the States Arms to be changed before he departed from the Coast of England and made the Arms thereof in the stern to be defaced and pulled down but reserved the Honour for his Royal Highnesse to change the name of the Ship which Cromwell had caused to be called the Naseby in memory of that fatal place where the King deceased received his totall overthrow who thinking no name great enough for so immense a structure being certainly one of the handsomest and biggest Frames for war and yet the best sailer that ever sailed upon the Seas next after the Soveraign carrying fourscore peices of Brasse Canon and six hundred men on board her nor so welcome to the Fleet gave her the name of the Royal Charles It will not be amisse to set down a little breif of the Dukes entertainment here he dined in that Chamber or Gallery where the King was to lodge which was all new wainscotted and guilded and furnished with a fair bed of the finest Cloth of England fringed with Gold and Silver the Floor laid with Turky Tapestry In the Generals Kitchen there were six Clerks that laboured but for the mouth his Table being as well served at Sea as many Princes were in their Dominions The dishes which were all of Silver were of so vast a bignesse most of them that Surloines of Beef and Chines likewise were served up in them The Duke dined at this ordinary of the Generals which might passe for a great feast and in going thence was saluted with the Artillery of the whole Fleet which did him the same Honour when he came on board At this time the King received letters from the Quakers in England full of impertinences and menaces against him if he protected not their Sect and entred not also into those thoughts The King having made known the day before to Monsieur de Veth Deputy from Zeland to the Estates General The King visits the States General in their Assemblie and President that Week that his purpose was to render them a visit the next morning in their Assembly preparation was made to receive him with all imaginable respect and so ordered a Deputy for every Province to wait upon him from his lodgings thither two of them being to march before the King bare-headed to the place where the Estates would receive him and from thence to the seat which was prepared for him They had also provided a great train of Coaches to wait on him thither but his Majesty had no sooner answered the Complement of the Deputies but being upon the stone stairs of the Court he caused the Lords of the train to advance and expressed a willingnesse to walk that little way on foot which is between Prince Maurice his House and the Palace Prince William of Nassau put himself immediately before the King who not disposed to cover himself in the way the Deputies of the Estates that followed him put themselves in the same condition and in this order between two files of Souldiers they arrived at the foot of the stairs of the great hall where the Estates General came in a body to meet him made him a low reverence and opened themselves to make him passe in the midst of them and followed him thus two and two along the Hall and then through the Gallery where they sell pictures but their Shops that day shut up and their with-drawing Chamber unto that of their ordinary Assembly his Majesty and the Estates being still uncovered This Hall is rather long then large The manner of His Majesties sitting in the Assembly of the States General having in the midst of it a Table capable to hold about Thirty persons in the middle whereof is a place for the President which changeth every week according to the number and rank of the united Provinces but the President for that Week quitted it then and sate in that which is over against it where the Ambassadours and Ministers of Forrain Princes are seated when publique Audience is given them and on the usual seat of the President they made an ascent or foot-bank of seven or eight foot broad covered over with a foot-cloth of Tapistry which reached along the passage even to the door of the with-drawing Chamber on the Foot-bank was placed a Chair of Green Velvet aud over head a Cloath of Estate or Canopy of the same Coloured Velvet which was hung between the Pourtraits of the four last Princes of Aurange of the House of Nassau there standing which were so separated that those of Prince William and Maurice were of one hand father and son together and those of Prince Henry Frederick brother to Prince Maurice and his son William the second Husband to the late Princesse Royal on the other side of the Canopy The King being come to this place which was a kind of a Throne Prince William Frederick of Nassau and some English Lords put themselves behind the seat and his Majesty who stood still and uncovered till all the Members that compose that illustrious Senate were entred which were numerous that day because of the Extraordinary Deputies when they were after a while disposed in their places sate down then and covered himself but remained not long in that posture For as soon as he saw the seats full and all the Deputies covered he arose and putting off his Hat in very kind and obliging expressions for all the civilities they had shewed him since he arrived in their Countrey he assured them of the constancy of his Amity and affection for the good of that Common-wealth and here more solemnly recommended unto them the persons and interests of the Princesse Royal his Sister and of the Prince of Aurange his Nephew to which the President made a reply in such terms as sufficiently made known the respect wherewith they resented this Honour they had received This being done his Majesty retired the same way and in the same manner he entred Prince William marching in the head and the Estates two by two following him and conducting the King into the Court to the foot of the Stairs of the great Hall where they had received him Here the Lords States of the Province of Holland to whom the King had promised the like honour of his presence in their Assembly came to meet his Majesty in a body They had likewise before them Prince Maurice of Nassau Lieutenant General of the Horse and Governour of Wesel marching alone and bareheaded performing the same place which Prince William had done with the Estates General Nothing being new or what varied from the manner of his Majesties reception and sitting in
personages Noble and prudent Conduct whose generosity did prompt every mans expectation of the ensuing miraculous Revolution He was further created Knight of the most Honourable order of the Garter Vice-Admiral under his Highnesse the Duke of York and Master of his Majesties Wardrope and one the Commissioners of his Treasury and lastly of his most Honorable Privy Council which Honours with his merit and virtues may he transmit to late posterity On the second of June before the Prince Elector Palatine sent a congratulatory Address to the King by the Captain of his life-guard of Horse Christopher Clas of Keyemberg An Embassy from the Prince Elector Palatine who was kindly received by his Majesty and an answer by him dispatcht to the said Prince with which he returned on the second of August In the middle of July my Lord Crosts was sent Ambassador from the King to their Majesties of France being conducted to his Audience at the Castle of Vinâ—ennes by the Sede Berleze Introductor of Ambassadors who came to fetch him in the Kings Coaches at Pallace Cardinal He complemented their said Majesty in the name of the King his Master concerning their happy Marriage which being performed he went back to the Louvre to complement the Queens Majesty a great retinue of English and Jrish Lords attending him in a most stately Equipage For a remark of this happy revolution may we add a relation of unquestionable credit which came to hands soon after In the Town of Dundalchin an English Castle-Town in the County of Louth in Jreland there is a chief and very ancient seat belonging to the Noble family of Bellew Sir Christ pher Bellew being the four and twentieth Knight of that Family lineally descended all faithfull Subjects to the Crown About this House and Town were many Ash-trees where on many thousand Rooks did constantly breed but when the late troubles began about twenty years since all the Rooks quitted the place which had been their constant Habitation Winter and Summer for above three hundred years and were never since discovered there abouts till the end of April 1660. about the time of the Kings restauration at which time many thousand Rooks came again to the same place though the Trees were most of them cut down where for want of Boughs to rest on the greater part sate upon Hedges and banks of Ditches spreading themselves upon the Mole hills whereof all the Countrey took notice and remembring when they fled concluded their return to be an auspicious presage of the blessed Turn that immediately followed The like of this happened else where so that hereafter these Rooks shall be the Bonae Aves and sacred onely to Majesty and Empire Nor may another more rational piece of Honor be omitted here the Royal Exchange of London had been deprived and forsaken of one of its Tutelar Angels The Kings statues erected at the Exchange and had another excluded from his seat therein It was therefore most pious most due and a most just veneration and reverence as it was the greatest glory among the Romans which the City of London did to both Princes together The statue therefore of King Charles the first which the malice of his Rebels had first decollated and having understood how ridiculous they were taken it wholly down was now replaced in the same nick in its full proportion with a Scepter in the K. right hand a Church in his left Arme a Globe at his left foot and on his Shield Magna Charta On the Base stood this Inscription CAROLVS Primus Monarcharum Magnae Britanniae secundus FRANCIAE HIBERNIAE Rex Martyr ad Coelum missus penultimo Ianu. Anno Dom. 1648. And the Statue of King Charles the second supplyed the vacancy of the next Vault or Nick being erected with a Scepter in his right hand a Globe in his left hand and on his Shield Amnestia OBLIVION CAROLVS Secundus Monarcharum Magnae Britanniae Tertius FRANCIAE HIBERNIAE Rex Aetatis suae Anno Tricesimo Regni Duodecimo Restaurationis primo 1660. It was almost elapsed through the overdazeling of this subject to give an account of the Triumphs of the Irish which therefore we must of necessity contract in this Epitome that they were not wanting in the same excesses of gladness which upon the News of his Majesties Return were carried over with a full Sea and reciprocated it back again in the substantial evidences of their joy by a present of twenty thousand pound to his Majesty which was delivered among other congratulations by a select number of Persons of quality from the convention then assembled there in the nature of our Free Parliament here but not so Regular though as Legall And as a more especial Honour to the King He who had first by his prevalent vertues subdued the hearts of the Army now by his own Royal Command The Army disbanded and with a word of his mouth when all the strength of England lately all his Fathers Forces before could not so much as resist them disarms them totally and so secured the perpetual peace of this Nation as in all humane reason it was thought the onely expedient conducing thereunto Carolus Beatus Pacificus On the thirteenth of September came that splendid congratulatory extraordinary Embassy from the King of Spain The Prince of Ligâ—'s gratulatory Embassy delegated to the Prince de Ligne a Burgundian formerly of his Majesties acquaintance in Flanders very Nobly attended by persons of the best rank from his Master and with a very illustrious and large retinue On the seventeenth of that moneth he han Audience from the King at the Banqueting House of White-hall where he was waited upon by seventeen of his own Coaches and thrice as many more of the English It was indeed one of the gallantest pieces of Courtship the Spaniard ever boasted of in England and as well received by his Majesty he departed on the third of October following About that time also a Kings Frigot the Henrietta was attending on the Coast of Spain to bring hither the Baron of Batteville in the quality of Ambassador in ordinary But that which clouded this Triumph was the death of that most excellent Prince Henry Duke of Glocester now lest the meeting and conflict of two various Tides should transport me beyond my bounds I will give way to the present stream and current of my discourse as the stronger for sorrow was so far banish'd from the face of all men that Fate had need of a powerful instance to reclaim and tell us that our gladnesse by this Princes death so ho-nourably was it treated and admonished could not be perpetual On the twentieth of September his Majesty had the glory of being actually the Restorer of the Church The Government by Bishops established For the most Reverend Father in God William Lord Bishop of London who was present on the Scaffold with Charls the Martyr was by Charles the Restorer placed in
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-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-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
