The Healing and the blessed Parliament declaring That it should be a Rule to His Actions and Councils to consider What is a Parliament like to think of this Action or this Council Adding how religiously He himself would observe the Act of Indempnity and would exact the observation of it from all others After which and other most Gracious Expressions he referred the rest to be spoken by the Lord High Chancellor who according to his custom excellently set forth the happinesse of His Majesty and His people which only strive which should expresse most affection to each other to the joy of all good men and the Terror of all that refuse their own happinesse by thoughts of embroyling the Kingdom in Blood whose Designs and Plots are particularly mentioned in his Lordships Speech which concluded with the Parliament for then it was dissolved but will never be forgotten for the good it hath done by the mercies of God to this late most wretched Nation And since we mention Plots we cannot but acquaint you that besides the prisoners in our last there are divers others secured as Colonel Payne Mr. Knight there are many Knights but that none may mistake him for a better man this is Knight the Potter who after turned preacher and reprobated all that kept their Allegiance Allen Courtney two who are not unknown to their Brethren of that army besides that faithful man of Reckoning Mr. Cook of the Bear at London-Bridge whom we must not remember to have come from the Bridge-foot to fit upon Peers in a High Court of Justice On Saturday last Decemb. 29. which we should have told you sooner but that we had no pleasure to mention so sad and universal a Losse the chiefest of the Nobility and Gentry of the Kingdom met in the House of Peers to attend the Royal Corps of Mary Princesse of Orange which being brought about 9 at night from Denmark-House to Westminster they proceeded through a Lane of Guards of the Duke of Albemarl's Regiment of Foot First went several Gentlemen and Knights next the Servants of his Highnesse the Duke of York then the Servants of the Queen after whom came His Majesties Servants and next the Servants of the deceased Princesse then two Heraulds before James Marquesse of Ormond Lord Steward of His Majesties Houshold and Edward Earl of Manchester Lord Chamberlain of His Majesties Household after whom went Edward Lord Hyde Lord High Chancellor of England with the Purse and Mace born before him after whom came another Herald with a Coronet upon black Velvet and then the Royal Corps carried by her own Servants the Pall being supported by six Earls and the Canopy born over it by several Baronets His Highnesse the Duke of York following the Corps with an Herald before him and divers persons of Quality bearing his Train Thus they proceeded

One party were discovered in a Lane beyond Leaden-Hall where they made their first stand twixt five and six this morning The Lord Mayor though he had been in no bed of two nights before yet was up and upon the Rebels before they could effect any part of their design After some firing on both sides they made a second stand in Little Eastcheap which they made with more vigour then before and then retired to London-stone where though their numbers were augmented they all dispersed This passed the Lord Mayor came down from Wood-street to another Party of Rebels and these had been at his Lordships House in Maiden-Lane to surprise him in his bed where they knew he had not slept in two nights before where they knew he had not slept in two nights before saying aloud as they march'd Now for BROWN Now for BROWN At that instant his Lordship being up and engaged with the other Party they lost their design upon his Lordship but were by some of the Trained-bands and part of His Majesties Life-guard And here to give the Rebels their due they disputed as if they had a greater number and a better cause but after his Lordship came Major Henshaw made another fresh Charge those of the Life-guard and the Train'd-bands joyning with him whereby the Phanatick Rebels were broken five or six kill'd and diverse wounded amongst whom was their spiritual Capt. Venner whose wounds are supposed mortal The rest were pursued to the Postern-gate in London-wall where seven of them unable to fly further betook themselves to an House where though they were summoned they stood out till five of the seven were kill'd the other two crying for Quarter which was granted but as soon as the Officer entered one of these desperate Rebels stabb'd at him which falling upon his Corsset took no effect His Royal Highnesse the Duke of York hearing of the resistance of these Rebellious Phanaticks came up into London with the Duke of Albemarle the Earl of Oxon the Earl of Northampton the Lord Farfax and very many more Peers and Noble Gentlemen with part of the Life-guard and divers Officers of the Army ready to serve his Majesty and his Highnesse if there had been occasion The people at the sight of his Royal Highnesse made many great Shouts and Acclamations for joy his Highnesse returning thanks to the several Officers and Trained Bands after his Discourse with the Lord Major who acquainted his Highnesse how well Lieutenant Colonel Cox Major Henshaw Capt. Clark and other Officers had behaved themselves in this service there being not one Rebel how mad and desperate soever but is either kill'd fled or prisoner whilst there are now so many that several prisons are too full for whose particular names we here want room Yesternight Jan. 8.
