than lose him now they had him Many other passages which I saw not nor heard not which I believe did revive his Majesty's heart to sée his Subjects joy Also after his Majesty was passed came my Lord of Northamton with a gallant Party of Horse of all Gentry a bout 300. or more all richly clad and mounted after them came thrée Regiments of the Generals Horse all arm'd cap a pe and though they were not richly acouter'd yet 't was as gallant a sight to sée for a Soldier as the other and a better sight in service That silver Van flanckt with this Iron Rear Three Princes leads no Nation we need fear Renouned George thy Fame on earth will never dye For under God thou gavest this Kingdom 's liberty His Majesty coming to Temple-bar all along to Whitehall the Militia Forces garded on both sides and Sr. Iohn Stowell that great sufferer for his Majesty met him with divers Officers of the Kings Army being a gallant Party So the King coming to White-hall was entertaind by the House of Lords and Commons both presented him with Spéeches by the Speakers declaring their joy for his so happy arrival in power and safety to the thrée Kingdoms great comfort which now they fear'd not will quickly end in peace and prosperity to these almost-ruined Nations for want of his presence The day being ended for it was seven of the cloch ere his Majesty came to White-hall when he was safe the Pieces went off small and great from the Tower and all along the City and not a Piece was fir'd or to be fir'd before night Such Bonfires we made there was never the like in England one at the Banck-side six or seven stories high and in Westminster was the States Arms and the Effigies of Crumwell hung up for all to behold with torches and at last burnt in the fire with great hollowing and houping for joy they were rid of this idol that England had so much worshipt I shall now give you a short but true acount of the Sufferings of this Prince before he came to his Kingdom At his Fathers death he was at his Sisters Court the Princesse of Orange whereas the news came unexpected it came the harder for he thought to have heard a fair end of the Treaty and his Father setled He studied then which way to gain his Birth-right many wayes he and his friends tryed but all came to no effect but the news still that fil'd his sorrowful ears was just so as it came to Io●e one after another the murdering and destroying of his Loyal Subjects the Scots when they were treating with him to make him King they thought to disable him of his best friends that they might force him to what they pleasd to have I leave the World to judge of their innocency as they pretend from the first beginning of these times I pray God make their children more Loyal then the fathers and that I hope they can take no exceptions at pray God the selling of the King and the murdering of Montrose be not laid to the charge of the souls of the chief actors of it indeed they did what they could some of them to settle him and did crown him but I believe had it not been self-ends God would have blest their designs the better at Worcester where his Majesty was miraculously deliverd where his horse was twice shot under him and could scarce be invited to leave the Field when 't was so near lost the Highlanders fighting it out very nobly but the Scotch Horse but cowardly his Majestie got away to a house had his hair cut off with a knife by my Lord Wilmot then takes him to a Wood near Wolverhampton and in a hollow Oke and staid there three dayes afterwards brought to Mistrisse Lanes by my Lord Wilmot and by her as her Serving-man was convai'd to Bristol no body but Mr. Lasted her Father in Law knew him where he was fain to wind up the Iack he telling the maid he was a Naylour's son which causd his Majesty to smile the wench gave him such course compliments which he was very glad to take afterwards describd by a Butler but yet a faithful servant to him and through many difficulties and dangers at last got over sea to France where he declares his sad misfortune they bewailing of him yet joyful he had scapt himself yet this joy did not long continue in the Court of France but this bloody Oliver never left till he had hunted him thence and all the Family by making a Peace with France Mazerein the Cardinal being this Traitors friend all the time no great honour he 'le gain by it now but let him give more testimony he must leave France then to Holand to his sister and staid a while there then to Germany where the Lord still raised Princes to his friends and at last that ever to be loved by this Nation and that freely the King of Spain nobly entertains him and the Duke of York who had been a great enemy to him when he served the King of France which will be for the shame of France and honour of Spain for ever there this wicked Oliver left not but like the Devil never left any means un-attempted to destroy him as then he had imploy'd one Captain Maning who was near the King who discoverd all things that was done there to his Master here thus the devil and man did work to destroy him and this Nation but he had too honourable a death for it so inflam'd his Majesties true servants to hear of such a false Traitor amongst them that he was shot by one of them before he enterd the Prison many more most strang and wonderful tryals of patience was there in his travels and sorrowful pilgrimages before he attain'd to that happy Restoration which God hath now blest him and us with whom God still preserve whom I hope God will by his providence as he hath done hitherto answer all the prayers of him and his friends for him as remarkable His Father was murderd on the 30. of Ianuary it faling on a Tuseday and ever since he hath kept Tuseday as a fast in memory thereof besides it hath been known many private Devotions which God hath answerd it was on a Tuseday he was voted by the two Houses of Parliament King and proclaimed King on a Tuseday and came to White-hall on a Tuseday therefore it may incourage all Christians to prayer for by fervent prayer God answers many times by the same means and the same time and God you see hath answered his prayers but how many more Fasts and prayers hath here been set up and Thanksgivings for shedding of blood but what can there be expected from bloodthirsty and cruel men but hipocrisy which their best Actions was no other The brighter still the Sun doth shine Upon a dunghill with her beams divin The more base sents and stinking vapours rise I 'le leav 't to
