A57799 A royall story, for loyall readers For they intended mischiefe against thee, and imagined such a device as they are not able to performe.

His Martyr'd Father hath therein taken effect when he wished rather that he might prove CHARLES le bon then CHARLES le grand indeed as the world already knowes Him CHARLES the good for I believe that goodnesse is now leading His Majesty by the hand to greatnesse having sought the Kingdome of Heaven first the rest shal be added and according to the old Prophesie as he is e Carolo Carolus so he wil be shortly Deo annuente Carolo magno major and that I alwayes saw with the eye of faith but since the beginning stilo novo of June 1650. Gods immediate hand hath guided the King visibly to the eye of sense and reason yet above comprehension too And at this day His Majesty by the conduct of Heaven is arrived from the most uncertaine I may say desperate condition wherein His Majesty then was to so great a degree of glory as was then wholely despaired of by most that ever he would have compassed in this world for what clouds were over His Majesties affaires at Breda after a treaty there began with the Scots Commissioners to effect which treaty there was no small difficulty attended His Majesty at Jersey where His Majestyes Privy Counsell Lords and Counsell at Law were divided in opinion nay the Duke of York that most hopefull and illustrious Prince was perswaded in judgemēt for the King to declare against all treaties with that party of Rebell Scots His Highnesse and the discenting Lords relying wholely with Gods blessing on the formerly almost miraculous Marquesse of Montrosse who was then gone to kindle a loyall fire by His Majesties Commission in the Highlands of the Scottish Nation but Gods wayes are unsearchable and his works past finding out the Kings heart is in Heavens hand and he disposeth it as Rivers of waters which way soever pleaseth him and though most think it tedious to wait on Gods providence in the weary steps which must be taken about the meanders dividings and unitings turnings and returnings of the streames after many miles straggling passing againe neare the same place and though almost all that look not with the eye of faith more steddily than the eye of reason not only lose the current when it entereth the concaves and hollowes of the earth but their hopes too and are possessed with despayre of ever seeing those refreshing waters breake out any more yet the hand of God brings them to life againe though they channelled under many an hill and rocky cragge hee cuts a way to their appearance and satisfieth the world by experience That his leading Providence never leaveth them untill they bee sefely brought to the Sea their Centre where they embosome in the greatnesse and glory of the triumphant Ocean Blessed bee God that leaveth not his Anoynted comfortlesse nor our Soveraigne Councellesse He himselfe whose name is Mighty Councellour proves his Councell designing strangely first to winnow and try the Kings fayth by affliction laying low that foundation whereon he intends to erect so glorious a fabrick as ever since and before Heaven hath been modelling in our gratious King whose heart divided in the division of his friends and Councell unites againe in God who strongly enclines his soul to treat with the illest look't and falsest hearted party that ever drew breath in that noble Nation of Scotland in almost all whose Countenances any man that durst look in their faces which I confesse I could never scarce doe without feare and trembling for our deare Kings sake might visibly read treachery and most abominable falshood their Priests Prayers and Preachings premising nothing but slavery to the King and their groanings and whinings only to gull the silly flocke that could have so much unchristian patience as to hear them His Majesty by this Treaty if hee could not convince them into an agreement which if any thing unlesse a contract to lay down his life and which was infinitely dearer his Honour he was resolved to bring them to if not yet his Majesty would leave them excuselesse in whatsoever might be the consequence that so they should by their owne irreligious and avaritious capitulations and sawcy rejections affronting their Maker in the person of his Anoynted draw their owne guilt and their owne bloud upon the pates of them and their posterities The King during this Treaty had a hard taske to comport with variety of tempers and constitutions so as to keepe them though enemies one to another friends to himselfe The Commissioners often grew peremptory but at such time his Majesty would quickly awe them into some reverence by letting them know hee was their King His Majesties old friends that all wished one end yet unhappily divided in their opinions of the meanes thereunto conducing grew to asmuch jealousie and enmity one with another as ever the Presbyterians and Independents were at So that the friends to the Treaty looke on the opposers as enemies to the King and the other party reciprocally on them that not onely the declarers became averse one to another but the moderate or neuters who waited for the Kings Highway having their soules bound up in Buffe of obedience to Him in eyther became neglected or mistrusted of both yet the Treaty goes on the antipathy undermines the whilest and it is beleeved Marquesse MONTROSSE was perswaded from thence by private instructions from eminent persons to make a bolt or a shaft of his businesse to winne the horse or lose the saddle breake the Treaty by Conquest or at least attempt something to make the Treaters more modest which his Excellency putting in execution during the Treaty fayled of those friends in Scotland and of those supplies of horse armes men and as the sinew of all warre money from Forreigne Kings and Princes which probably had the Treaty never began or had beene then ended he would have found and have beene accompanied with wonted successe But his Excellency all these things falling under a strong fate became most unfortunately taken in his first designe was carried Prisoner to Edenborough where hee was met with the Sentence of Condemnation to bee hanged by the common Hangman O unworthy bloudy Judges which he cheerefully embraced and they most barbarously put in Execution with all speed to hasten his death and glory and their owne sinne and shame together and that power which the Kirke onely feared in the person of that gallant MONTROSSE being now layd low they resolve to break all treaties with the King but in the nick the Commissioners had concluded with His Majesty and His Majesty was removed with them from Breda towards Scotland His Majesty no sooner came to Hounslowdike an house of the Prince of Oranges neare the sea side in order to his voyage but His Majesties cares were there saluted with the unwelcome newes of the death of that incomparable MONTROSSE the deep sense whereof so pierced His Majesties Royall heart that there could not but arise new conflicts within His Princely soule The opposite Lords
A ROYALL STORY FOR LOYALL READERS For they intended mischiefe against thee and imagined such a device as they are not able to performe And why because the King putteth his trust in the Lord and in the mercy of the most Highest Hee shall not miscarry Qui cupit optatam cursu contingere metam multa tulit fecitque Printed in the Yeare 1651.

thee in the grave saith valiantly holy David shal the dead praise thee no no the living the living they shal prayse God Therefore damne not sink not now lest you sink and be damned for ever God wil not blesse nor the King accept such persons some of you know it from Breda and I could tell you more from His Majesties owne mouth to an acquaintance of ours His Majesty now stands uppon His Fathers headlesse shoulders and sees the plagues attending the cursing drinking debaucht crew which help'd bring to the Scaffold the barbarously murthered but most blessed Martyr CHARLES the first who saw indeed in His time and sorrowed for but could not help the vic●s of His Armies and abuses of His Commisioners and Governours the former His gracious Meditations let you and all the world know As to the latter I am satisfied from His owne sacred lips when upon occasion of my giving His Majesty according to the duty of my command an account of affaires and persons in the West of England His Majesty deare King was pleased passionately to tell me that he was confident the relation I gave was just and patiently he added Oh the mirrour that he was reduced to that unhappy condition as to be forced to trust Knaves and knew not how to help it Our present King CHARLS the second such a Son to such a Father as I believe the world never paraleld though reduced certainly to as much necessity as ever so great a Prince was what time as he went from one Nation to another from one Kingdome to another people God suffering no man though to do him wrong abroad he became an object of pitty mixt with admiratiō from all the nobly disposed persons in the world and an object of scornings lashings of the Independent English tongues especially in Holland that had never seen him but such as with the Queen of Sheba hearing of his fame came to behold the magnanimity of his courage and the constancy of his vertues in the banishment from His other Royall possessions became astonished and either returned convinced penitent and Loyall or else seized with horrour went home trembling in their soules at the sight of His sacred Presence that I have charity to hope an holy operation from His Majesties divine influence will steale them also by degrees to their own salvation yet this King strangely happy and I know not how it comes to passe in this low condition as it seemed to the world was then now His Majesty is in power is more a strict reprehender of vice and a vigilant observer of those who became too sawcy with Majesty clouded in fortune onely not in face and kept up by his owne grace and presence a Kingship perfectly in himselfe not discovering the least passion for the absence from His Crownes which was the greater conquest then of the world and that desire of
