get clear out of the Country My Lord thanked him for his Civility but said he was well satisfied with his present Quarters Yet withal entreated the Collonel he would keep the Opportunity of his Sisters Pass and retain his Horses till he heard from him again Thus they took leave of each other and the Collonel returned home The next day being Friday his Lordship sent John Pendrel to learn what was become of the King and what had passed at White-Ladies John returning the same Night brought word That the King went the night before with his Brother Richard towards Severn designing to pass over into Wales Upon this information my Lord resolved to accept of the proffered benefit of Mistris Lanes Pass and accordingly next Morning being Saturday he desired Mr. Whitgrave to send to Collonel Lanes for his Horses He dismissed John in the afternoon home to White-Ladies and the Horses arriving at a certain Place and time apointed about Midnight he took leave of Mr. Whitgrave with all due expressions of Gratitude and kindness and so departed to Bently Saturday And now my Lord being gone Mr. Whitgrave and Mr. Hudleston entertained themselves with thoughts and sollicitudes concerning the King They had heard nothing of him all that day The last intelligence brought by John from White-Ladies on Friday was That the King was gone the night before with Richard towards Severn for Wales but what success he had or what was become of him since they knew not wherefore anxious between hopes and fears for his Majesties safety they resolved to go the next day being Sunday to White-Ladies for their farther satisfaction whilst they were thus determined and walking together very early on the backside of the Orchard on Sunday Morning They were surprized to see John Pendrel unexpectedly coming towards them and approaching them with a frightful Countenance and much impetuosity asked where is my Lord They told him His Lordship was gone Then says the poor man in great consternation we are all undone For the King finding the Passages over Severn all guarded with Soldiers and no possibility of getting into Wales is come back to Boscobel And we know not what to do with him or how to dispose of him He hath been for the most part since his Return concealed in a Tree now called the Royal Oak with Collonel Carloes in Boscobel Wood but searches are every where made and the King is much dejected having no hopes or prospect of redress wherefore understanding from me I had left my Lord Wilmot here he hath sent me to him with orders he should take some speedy course for his removal and security with him Upon this sad relation of John's Mr. Whitgrave and Mr. Hudleston deeply moved at the Kings danger and Calamity having first offered to God their Sunday Duty for his Majesties safety accompanied John to my Lord at Bentley where being admitted to his Lordship it was upon mature deliberation Resolved That my Lord should come back about Eleven at Night to Moseley in order to the waiting upon the King there That John should return to Boscobel and from thence conduct his Majesty to a certain appointed Station near Mr. Whitgraves House where Mr. Hudleston was to attend and receive him And what was thus designed was accordingly executed My Lord came and was conducted by Mr. Whitgrave to his Chamber And some few hours after the King attended by John and two or three more of the Pendrel Brothers arrived on a Mill Horse near Mr. Hudleston's Station where Mr. Whitgrave and Mr. Hudleston both waited for him Upon his arrival he was immediately conducted to my Lord who with some impatience expected him in his Chamber The King being thus by Gods blessing safely introduced into the House after some private discourse had between him and my Lord His Lordship addressing himself to Mr. Whitgrave and Mr. Hudleston said Gentlemen the Person whom you see here under this Disguise is both your Master and mine and the Master to whom we all owe our Duty and Allegiance upon which they both kneeling down His Majesty admitted them to the honor of kissing his Hand Then bidding them arise told them He had received from my Lord so good a Character of their Loyalty and readiness to serve and assist him and his Friends in those dangers that he would never be unmindful of them nor theirs Immediately after he asked where is the private Place my Lord speaks of They then shewed him the place of his retreat for avoiding surprisals which having seen entred into and much approved of he returned to his Chamber He then sat him down on his Bedside and Mr. Whitgrave presented him with a little Biscake Bread and a Glass of Sack which he took whilst he thus sat his Nose bled at this accident Mr. Hudleston seemed concerned but His Majesty said it was usual with him then taking out of his Pocket an old course Clout which the Pendrels had given him instead of a Handkerchief he received the Blood into it Mr. Hudleston then presented him with a fair Handkerchief and kept the bloody Clout to himself After this the King went to the Fire-side sat down in a Chair and gave Mr. Hudleston leave to pull off his Stockings and Shoes stuffed within with White Paper but yet so uneasie wet and full of Gravel they had extreamly enflamed and galled his Feet Here it may not be unpleasant to some if we briefly describe part of the Rustick Habit under which the King was disguised he had on a long white Steeple crowned Hat without other ●●●ming than Grease both sides of the Brim so doubled with handling they looked like two Spouts a Leather Doublet full of holes and half black with Grease above the Sleeves Collan and Wast An old green Woodriffs Coat threadbare and patch'd in most places with a pair of Breeches of the same Cloth and in the same condition the slops hanging down loose to the middle of his Legg Hose and Shoes of different Parishes The Hose were grey Stirrups much derned and clouted especially about the knees under which he had a pair of Flannel riding Stockings of his own with the tops cut off His Shoes had been cobled with Leather patches both on the Soals and Seams and the Upperleathers so cut and slashed to adapt them to his Feet they could no longer defend him either from Water or Dirt. This exotick and deformed Dress added to his short Hair cut of by the Ears his Face coloured brown with Walnut-tree-leaves and a rough crooked-Thorn-Stick in his Hand had so metamorphosed him he became scarce discernable who he was even to those that had been before acquainted with his Person and conversant with him Mr. Hudleston having cleansed and dryed his Feet with warm Cloths put on new Linnen and Worsted Stockings and accommodated him with Slippers and other things necessary for his ease His Majesty became thereby much refreshed and chearful saying He was now fit for a new March adding also If

A Summary of Occurrences relating to the miraculous Preservation of our late Sovereign Lord King CHARLES II. after the Defeat of his Army at Worcester in the Year 1651. Faithfully taken from the express personal Testimony of those two worthy Roman Catholics Thomas Whitgrave of Moseley in the County of Stafford Esquire and Mr. John Hudleston Priest of the Holy Order of St. Bennet the Eminent Instruments under God of the same Preservation TO the end future Ages may be rightly informed and duly sensible of the mercies and blessings of the Almighty bestowed upon our late Sovereign Lord of happy Memory King Charles II. and in him upon the whole Nation by the signal preservation of his Sacred Life and Person from the Hands of the Rebels after the defeat of his Army at Worcester We shall here to the Glory of God the Protector of Princes briefly set forth with all plainness and sincerity such particular Passages and Circumstances as occurred immediately before or during the time of the refuge and safety he found in his greatest danger and exigence at Mr. Whitgraves House at Moseley Please therefore to know That His Majesties Army being on Wednesday the third of September 51. wholly defeated at Worcester his Friends dispersed and Enemies in full pursuit of their Victory The King conducted by Collonel Charles Gyfford and accompanied with the Duke of Buckingham Earl of Shrewsbury Earl of Derby Lord Wilmot Mr. Peter Street and others retired on Thursday Morning to a House called White-Ladies then appertaining to Mistris Cotton Widow and now the Inheritance of her Son-in-Law Basil Fitz-herbert Esquire in Staffordshire There His Majesty changed his Habit cut his Hair and transformed himself into the dress of a Country Peasant thus disguised he dismissed all his Retinue and committed his Person to the Fidelity of the Pendrells poor Catholics and labouring men at or about White-Ladies with one of these Pendrels named Richard the King spent the rest of the day in a Neighbouring Wood and at night attended only by the same Richard set forwards his Journey towards Madeley in Shropshire with intention to pass over the River Severn into Wales for the Recruit of his Army but arriving near to the River side he was informed by Mr. Wolfe a Catholic at Madeley that all the Fords and Passages were so strongly guarded and obstructed there was no possibility of effecting his design so that in this extremity he was forced after having absconded all Friday in a certain Barn of the said Mr. Wolfes to come back the next Night and regain his former Asylum at another House of Mr. Fitzherberts called Boscobel Tenanted by William Pendrel Brother to Richard and adjoining to White-Ladies During this interval those Persons of Quality whom the King had dismissed from White-Ladies endeavoured each one the best he could to provide for his own safety Amongst others the Lord Wilmot conjecturing the open ways least obnoxious to suspition departed the same Thursday in the forenoon from White-Ladies and took along with him John another Brother of the Pendrels as a Guide into the common Road between York and London but he soon perceived himself disappointed of his expectations herein for the whole Country was Alarmed The Enemy every where in pursuit The Avenues on all sides blocked up and searches redoubled by a promised Reward of One thousand pounds to any one who would discover the King. Wherefore my Lord justly despairing of success that way took refuge in the House of one Mr. Hunthatch of Brinford near Moseley about four Miles from White-Laides and sheltered his Horses in a ruin'd Barn of a poor Cottager not far from thence But this place affording him little or no hopes of rest or safety he sent his Guide John to Wolverhampton in quest of some more secure Receptacle Here also John miscarrying and frustrated wholly of all Relief in his return to my Lord by the singular conduct of Divine Providence met with Mr. Hudleston at a Place called Northcore John knew both the Person Religion and Character of Mr. Hudleston and therefore with an assured Considence related unto him how the day before the Kings Army had been utterly routed at Worcester how that very Morning the King himself with other great Persons had come in Private to White-Ladies how the King had been there disguised had dismissed his Followers and was retired he knew not whither with his Brother Richard. How he had endeavoured to help a brave Person towards his escape into York and London Road but not being able to compass it nor get any Harbor for him either at Hampton or elsewhere he had left him at Mr. Huntbatch's at Brinford near Moseley where he would be most certainly discovered unless Mr. Hudleston could prevail with his Landlord Mr. Whitgrave to receive him and conceal him in his House Hereupon Mr. Hudleston carried John to his Chamber imparted the Affair to Mr. Whitgrave who touched with a sence of compassion and Generosity willingly undertook the care however dangerous to himself of the distressed Lord's Concealment and Protection accordingly Mr. Whitgrave without farther delay waited upon my Lord at Brinford comforted and encouraged him by his promised Assistance and in fine ordered matters so that at ten a Clock in the Night my Lord was safely brought to his retirement at Moseley the only difficulty remaining was how to dispose of my Lords two Horses a thing not to be disregarded both because they would be necessary for my Lords farther Progress as also for that either standing as they did exposed in an open Barn or being brought to Mr. Whitgraves Stables adjoining and obvious to the common Street their being detected would occasion a disclosing of the whole grcret To remedy this Mr. Whitgrave sent a trusty Person to Collonel Lane at Bently about three miles from Moseley acquainted him with my Lords arrival and desired him for some little time to secure my Lords Horses The Collonel who had formerly served under my Lord in the Wars not only readily complyed herein but the same Night gave my Lord a private Visit and kindly invited him to his House as the more secure place adding That his Sister Mistris Jane Lane had procured a Pass from the Governor of Stafford for her self and a Servant to go to Bristow by virtue of which Pass he might as his Sisters Servant
