A true and certaine RELATION Of His Maiesties sad CONDITION IN HURST-CASTLE in Hamp-shire VVith the Manner how Hee was taken out of His Bed on Saturday night l●st to the amazement of the Inhabitants there With th● imprisoning of Captain Cooke who was appointed Governour by the Inhabitants in stead of Colonell Hammond Also the sad-condition of the Maior and Aldermen of Newport for their Allegiance to His Majesty This being done without the knowledge of the Parliament with other remarkable Passage Printed in the Yeare 1648. A LETTER FROM THE ISLE OF VVIGHT Noble Dick NOva rerum facies here no Planet raignes in the Isle of Wight but the Moone my heart is at least a stone ligher since my last of the 28 of November our cafe is altered God be th●n●ed with Ploydons Wednesday the 29 of the last whether of his owne moving which all inclines unto or by the advice of others it is not knowne the King sent for the Major and Brethren of Newport with other chiefe of the To●n declared unto them before the Parliaments Commissioners what hee had granted for the content of his people and how hee had quite for some time decested himselfe of the very essence of authority and received nought but the shadow to give satisfaction unto his two Houses in all their proposalls put up to him and therein referred them unto the Commissioners there present who confirmed the same that not withstanding all this he was like to be used as they saw and for ought he knew as bad nay farre worse then before seeing the Generall had of his owne Head as farre as he could learne sent those three I writ of to order and dispose of His Person according to their private instruction of the said men or perhaps of one that His Maiesty had reason to dislike worse then hee Cromwell and therefore as His leige people he requested their helpe and assistance to preserve Him from undeserued bondage to which his Maiesty thought they were bound to do not onely by the law of God but by the vertue of the oath of Allegiance Supremacie Protestation and Covenant at the hearing of this the Maior and his assistants after reverence on their knees protested unto the King that seeing His Majesty and his Parliament were agreed that they would defend him both in honour safty with lives bodies and fortunes and that during his Majesties pleasure and his Parliaments for his above there and that they trusted that he should shortly find the maine Inhabitants of the Isle of the same opinion which accordingly fell out for on Thursday towards noone I think almost all the people came to the Towne and with open acclamations made good the same Nay one Wilckes a Brewer at the Greybound told Maior Bolfe That if hee or any else attempted to restraine guard or keep the King there or other wise then He pleased that it were better for them to be a keeping of Sheep in the Garden before the Kings face his Maiesty was much taken with the sober bluntnesse of this Fellow so that GOD be blessed His Maiesty hath the solace the Island can afford him now with promise of protection till such time as His Parliament shall thinke fit to send for him to London in honour His Maiesty likewise hath past his Kingly word to them not to put himselfe out of their trust protection save with their knowledge Colonell Ewer and his two collaterals have leasure to return or if they like otherwise to fish in the Island for ought they need trouble themselves about attending the King after their gap'd for wish the speciall charge of waiting upon His Maiesty is by the generall vote and agreement of all the Island conferred on one Captaine Cooke Marshall of Colonell Hammonds regiment an honest-heartie true Troian and an old Blade that of my conscience loves the King wonderfull well and is right ioyfull of the credit and opertunitie in any way to serue or obey His Maiesty the Island have so good an opinion of him that they have made him as it were Commander in chiefe over them till it shall please the Parliament to take further order for a Governour In faith I doe verily beleeve the Inhabitants of the Island to be betweene seven or eight thousand fighting men an Every compleatly arm'd The Parliament Garisons here doe let them take their owne way some being better content with it than others but all willing to strike to necessity for I doe iudge the meere Souldierie of the Armie at this present remaining in the Island to be about five or six hundred or neare thereupon if the Inhabitants of the Island stand upon it the places of landing are of that advantage to them and so disadvantagoeus to the approachers that they are able to keep out a very considerable force for a good time Here came hither Thursday night last of Pinaces Frigats to the number of 9. from my Lord of Warwick who declares for the King and Parliament and is appoynted as we heare to carry His Maiesty to London by Sea as also we are given to understand by some of his Officers that come a shore that the agreement betwixt the Prince and his Lordship is in a fair advance and that His Highnesse will be content to surrender him the Ships upon assureance and engagement to keepe them for the King and Parliament according to the tenure of the Treaty And that the Masters and Captaines of them with other Officers may have benefit of the Pardon Acts of Oblivion and Indempnity and continve their places upon security of their faithfulnesse and obedience for hereafter according to the Articles of the Treatie But his Lordship must pardon His Maiesty if hee chuse rather to stay in the Island as wee are plainly here informed for hither came one of His Maiesties Scalding-House that dwells at Windsor on Thursday last who having Officers of the Lord Generalls of great qualitie qua●●●●red in hi● house and did avouch to us that the generall resolu●ion of the Army was within very few dayes to march for London and to order and alter matters not onely in the Citie but even at Westminster likewise and spake large words not onely concerning His Maiesties Person but His Life GOD in mercy defend Him for surely the hand of wickednesse is very high the billowes of contemptious pride swells beyond measure Yet God cannot a hooke into this and a sway that when hee pleaseth mans necessitie being often time Gods opertunitie But as touching Mrs Parliament it is universally thought that the Army will purge there and therefore gave them a taste of its Remonstrance First to open her passages that she may go to it the better Some think that the Army will phlebotomise her which if it doth and stops not bleeding before good blood I am afraid they will not leave her so much good blood in the body as will go into an egge shell questionlesse her long vitase adventaria hath contracted not onely cr●dity but many ill and p●ccant humours One said that at the reading of the Remonstrance in the House they throng together as sheep that had been run at by the wolfe She hath long lain in long kept her chamber been a long time troublesome so that her very friends even toiled out do wish her speedy mending or ending She is prayed for on sea and land in the Island and Continent town and Country yea over all the foure roades of England that God would take her to his mercy she hoped for some restorative by the Treaty but it is said that the Generall saith it is too easie a potion for her and that he must give her some stronger physick for certain he intends by Glyster to draw away her costivenesse of Presbyterie and to put her it to a temperament of soluble Independency Oh me how these two factions of Presbyterie and Independency have squared it a long time the one up the other down like two well buckets hanging and drawing one another but now it seemes Independency is minded to dally no longer but still to be aloft and let Presbyterie for ever keep in the well chacun chose son tour c'est le ieu du monde cras mihi hodie tibi a dog will have a day Yours to command George Vaughan Gentle Reader Thou must not wonder in this changeable world that what was most true one day is false the next for since the date of this Letter written by a Personage of honour out of the Island and which hates falshood as much as basenesse the condition of all things is strangely altered there some additionall forces on a sudden arriving to the furtherance and aid of Collonell Ewer in his designe His Majesty Satturday at night wonderfull late or Sunday morning extream early was seised in his chamber yea in bed compelled to make ready straight put into a catch and forthwith p●ssed over to Hurst-Castle in Hampshire standi●g up●n the Sands his condition there is most sad and dismall being kept close pr●soner and having not any either of his own Servants or acquaintance about him and by the appointment and order of the Army onely the Parliament no way visibly intermedling or apppoving it and that after he had condescended unto and offered further to ratifie whatsoever had been requested of him Capta●n Cook who by the appointment of the inhabitants of the Isle Thursday last had the guard of His Majesty is kept prisoner and the Major and Aldermen for their forwardnesse shewed toward the mainteining of him in the island in danger to be further questioned about it FINIS
