with the Princess Dowager and with the Prince of Orange The same day Mr. Ripperda of Buirse having made report in the same assembly of what passed in the voiage he made with some other Deputies to the King at Breda in order to their resolution of the 14. of this moneth the Deputies were thanked for it And for as much as the Estates General as it was agreed upon with the Estates of Holland should be at all the expence that should be made for the King during the residence which his Majesty should make in the Country except that of his voiage and that from the day that he arrived at the Hage they laid down this day a foundation of three hundred thousand Gilders and they required the Lord Ripperda of Buirse Guldewagen Swanenburg Stavenisse Renswoude Velsen Ripperda and Schulenbourg to attend his Majesty at dinner The Table was doubly furnished at the head of which and in the mid'st sate the King having on his left hand the Princess Royal and on his right the Queen of Bohemia when she dined there At the end of the Table on the same side were the Dukes of York and Glocester and at the other end by the Princess Royal was the Prince of Orange her Son And this order was observed in all the repasts only in the absence of the Prince of Orange the two Princes his Majesties brothers separated and placed themselves at the two ends of the Table By this means one could well serve all those that were there because they were all at a certain distance which permitted the Officers to do their functions as also the Deputies of the Estates left space enough between the King's Table and theirs for the convenience of those which served the meat before the Royal persons putting themselves at the two ends of the skirt before the King who would not that the Deputies Table should be separated from his Most commonly there was a Set of Violins which divertised pleasantly the King during the repast and in the healths that were drunk as the King never failed almost to drink the prosperity of this Estate and very often of each Province in particular the Cannon of the Viverberg thundred from every Battery As soon as they arose from dinner the Commissioners of the Parliament and City of London came to do reverence to his Majesty The Higher House had nominated six viz. The Lord Aubery Veer Earl of Oxford the Lord Leonel Cranfield Earl of Middelsex Foulk Grevil Lord Brook the Lord Charls Rich Earl of Warwick the Lord Leicester Devereux Vicount of Herford and the Lord John Barcley but the Earl of Warwick being sick of the gout when the others embarked was constrained to stay at London The Lower House deputed the Lord Eairfax sometime General of the Parliaments Army who on that consideration drew upon him the curiosity and eys of every one and who would see the King privately to ask him pardon for the pass'd offence with extraordinary submissions The Lord Bruce the Lord Falkland the Lord Castleton the Lord Herbert the Lord Mandevil Sir Horatio Townsend Sir Anthony Ashley Cooper Sir George Booth he that levied an Army a year since for the calling of a Free-Parliament in behalf of the King Denzil Hollis Esquire Sir John Holland and Sir Henry Cholmly The Deputation of the City of London was much more numerous as being composed of twenty persons taken partly out of the Magistracy and partly from amongst the principal inhabitants and from the Militia of the City The chief assembled in the House of the extraordinary Embassadours and the others in the house where the Citizens exercise to shoot at the mark and learn to exercise arms Both one and t'other went forth a foot walking two and two and having before them a very great number of young Gentlemen that marched in the same order Being brought into the King's chamber they made a very low and most submiss reverence The Earl of Oxford spake for the Higher House but those that were there at that action agreed in opinion that never person spake with more affection nor expressed himself in better terms then Mr. Denzil Hollis who was the Orator for the Deputies of the Lower House to whom those of London were joined He insisted chiefly upon the miseries under which that Kingdom had groned for so many years and upon the government of Cromwel who tyrannized the English in their lives in their goods and in their consciences whereas on the contrary they could hope from the goodness of his Majesty but repose but sweetness and a lawful liberty beseeching him to return forthwith into his Kingdom and to take again the Scepter of his Ancestours without any condition which redoubled the joy of this Court though it were already assured thereof by the mouth of Sir John Greenvil The King received them with much goodness as well as the protestations of obedience and fidelity which they made him in the name of the Lords and Commons of England and of the City of London in particular and after the speech they did all reverence to the King in putting one knee to the ground and in kissing his hand After they came forth of the King's appartment they went to the Dukes to whom they also made complements from the Parliament and City they went there also a foot and from thence in the same order to the Queen of Bohemia and to the Princess Royal where they acquitted themselves also of the duty which they had order from the Parliament and City to render unto them After the audiences of the Deputies the King received many persons of quality who in the impatience to see his Majesty had passed the sea voluntarily without any particular commission they all did him reverence in the same manner the Commissioners had done Monsieur Friquet Councellour of Estate to the Emperour and extraordinary Envoy from his Imperial Majesty to the Estates General had also audience of the King and made him his complement in the name of the Emperour his Master whose Predecessour had expressed a most particular affection for the King even in the height of his persecutions In the number of those that came to render their duties to the King that day was the Captain or Master of the Ship which received the King aboard on the coast of England and passed him into France when that Illustrious Maid Mistris Lane saved the fortune of the Kingdom after the unfortunate battel of Worcester at least if one may give that Epithete to an accident which God hath so favourably blessed and who hath so favourably disposed the affairs in the glorious return of the King without any effusion of the blood of his subjects It is not our design to make here an unnecessary digression in making a perfect narrative of all that passed in the miraculous escape of the King after the loss of the battel nor in what manner the King being separated from the Officers that
