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

boat which was in the mid'st of the Viver or of that Pond which washeth the foot of the wall of the King's house as well as of the whole great Palace an infinite number of squibs and of other artificial fire-works which gave a most agreeable divertisement to the people the whole night Munday the last of May the Lords the Estates of Holland considering that the same reason which had obliged them to honour the King's arrival obliged them to do the like at his departure and embarkment and thinking that the King would depart the next day they resolved to dispose the Lords the Estates General to take their leave of his Majesty at his house that day or the day of his departure as they should think fit and to signifie to them that the Estates of Holland could not suffer that any but them should accompany his Majesty either in body or by Deputies when he departed The Estates General who know that the place of their ordinary Assembly is in the Soveraignity of the Province of Holland acquiesced therein without repugnance and were ready to desire audience to take leave of the King that day in body when they understood that his Majesties voiage was deferred a day longer and that he had signified to him of the Lords the Estates who was President that week that the next day he would make them a visit in person in the place of their Assembly They would have been glad if they could have dispensed themselves of receiving so extraordinary an honour but they chose rather to leave themselves to be loaden with civility at home then to commit an incivility in opposing the will of the King The Estates of Holland to whom the King signified by one of the Secretaries of his commands that he would do them the same honour received the advertisement thereof with the same respect and both one and t'other after they had agreed with the Ministers of the Court how they intended to receive his Majesty with all the submission they should be able to render to so good a Prince and so great a Monarch they both gave necessary orders in their several assemblies for this glorious and illustrious visit The Estates of the Province of Zealand who were convocated extraordinarily in the town of Middelborough on the occasion of the King's voiage had named also extraordinary Deputies whom they ordained to complement the King upon his re-establishment in his Kingdoms conjunctively with the ordinary Deputies which are here from their Province in the Estates General The Extraordinaries arrived at the Hage Sunday the 30 of May and the next day in the morning both one and t'other had audience of his Majesty who caused them to be received and conducted in the same manner and by the same persons he imploied at the reception of the Deputies of the other Estates and the King made them the same civility Mr. Veth Pensionary Councellour of Zealand and one of the eloquentest men of his time brother to him who so long time and with so much reputation appeared to the Estates General and who is there also at present for the interests of his Province took on him the speech and made a most excellent discourse speaking in these terms SIR We are here from the Lords the Estates of Zealand to do reverence to your Majesty and to assure you of our most humble and most respectful services We represent us SIR and acknowledge in the person and sight of your Majesty the favours and assistances which our Province hath from all time received from the Kings of Great Britain your most famous Predecessours and so we cannot felicitate you and express the joy which we have to see the grace which God would do unto your Majesty in this admirable revolution of affairs wherewith your Majesty should be so much the more touched as neither you nor the rest of the world presumed so much as to hope it If Great Britain hath made bon-fires at the birth of your Majesty whatshould it do now in this marvellous conjuncture where we see all the artifices and attempts of your enemies disappointed and overthrown your Royal person miraculously re-establish'd in the Throne of your Ancestours and Crown to speak truth sent from Heaven rather then put upon the head of your Majesty by the hand of man So we need not doubt that God who is the particular Protector of Kings and who raises at this time your Majesty by waies so extraordinary will not fail to uphold you by that powerfull hand which laid it on your Royal head and that whole Christendom derives not advantages from thence which cannot be ordinary since that God by whom your Majesty reigns so visibly will make it so that you shall reign for him efficaciously in rendring the good and repose of his Church inseparable from the interests of your Estate And hence shall it be SIR that as from an inexhaustible spring upon the Councels and actions of your Majesty shall flow all the blessings of heaven which shall settle the repose of your Estate and assure the Scepter in your hands for the comfort of your people for the protection of your Allies for the terrour of your enemies and for the establishment of a perpetual peace in all Christendom to the exaltation of the great name of God and to the particular glory of your Majesty Especially we hope that this favourable occasion will serve to tie more strongly the knot of that Alliance which from all time hath been so carefully maintained between Great Britain and this Common-Wealth particularly if her Highness the Princess Royal who is so notably interested in the good and prosperity of both one and t'other Estate will labour herein with the care which we promise us from her goodness Those are the most ardent prayers SIR which the Lords the Estates of Zealand your very humble servants make unto God and which they hope will be heard in due time The Estates of the Province of Freesland made the same diligence in sending to salute the King by Extraordinary Deputies who had audience the same day together with their ordinary Deputies which are in the Estates General and were presented to his Majesty by Prince William Frederick of Nassau Governour and Lieutenant General of their Province Mr. Harinxma Councellour in the Court of Justice of Leeuwaerden addressed the speech and made his complement in French like others Hitherto there was no Minister sent express by any forraign Prince or Lord with Letters of Credence to felicitate the King upon his re-establishment and estate of his affairs But this day there arrived at the Hage Mr. of Cotteritz Councellour in the Councel of Estate of the Count of Oldenbourg and Delmenhorst and his Drossart in the Bailywick or Jurisdiction of Farel who had his audience after the Deputies of Freesland This Lord who despised the quality of Prince which was offered him to conserve that of most powerfull Count of the Empire
