his Genius was so far from affecting Rule having observed that though in the worst of time the factious prevailed and the Republicans proudly insulted especially over the Cavaliers yet Justice used commonly to follow such Practices at the heels that he would have been content rather to have led a private Life in Peace free from hatred and danger But Allurements and the fawnings of Fortune blassing his Youthful Mind and being tickled as it is natural to Man with the splendour of Government he at length complies with the temptation I know not what madness of the People spurred him likewise on to it who in a kind of a Phrensie brought him from all parts to the number of ninety Congratulatory Addresses that they might worship the Rising-sun Richard makes a magnificent Funeral for his Father Oliver Cromwell at a vast charge which his Counsellers advised him to for this end that being already sufficiently burdened with Debts he might be reduced to greater want of Money But it was debated amongst the Officers whether they should accompany the Funeral in deep and close Mourning for fear that being pestered in that Habit a Regiment or two of Cavaliers dropping out of the Clouds to disturb the Solemnitie they might not be able to defend themselves though Soldiers were planted all along on both sides of the way for their security He was buried in Westminster Abby Church which is so Conspicuous for the Monuments of our Kings that Europe cannot exceed it in stately and sumptuous Tombs as if he were there to give Laws to the Ghosts of Princes whom he prosecuted with so much hatred whilst alive Ireton Bradshaw and all the crew of the Regicides aspired also to that Burial amongst the Royal Ashes This Farce is no sooner ended but another presently comes upon the Stage For the Republicans Plot and undermine and by degrees attempt the ruine of Richard which they had before hatched in their Minds First they repair to Fleetwood's House upon pretext of Duty and of joyning together in Prayers after their accustomed manner they glance at things first a● a distance and reconcile Lambert and other disbanded Officers to Desborough and those that still were in Office in the Army By and by they discourse of the Charge of Protector as if by right it belonged to Fleetwood and by Cromwells last Will whilst he was Compos mentis designed for him but that Richard was in a surreptitious manner and by the craft of some of the Council substituted when his Father had lost his Senses that it concerned them to be governed by a Pious and Expert Leader such as had been tried in many difficulties So the Firebrand of Contention being once thrown in amongst them they proceed by all ways to blow it and by fresh Fewel to raise it to a Flame The Relations being by this means put at variance and mutually incensed one against another the Private Soldiers are tamperred with to side with them and that they might not seem to lose their labour for their sakes they desire that the Soldiers may have their full pay which in latter times was cut short by two pence a week The next thing brought under debate is the Government of the Army Cromwell had ruled Arbitrarily by meer Despotical Authority turning out any Officer or Soldier at his pleasure and putting others in their places no Man must now take so much upon himself nor enjoy so unlimited a Prerogative Therefore the Soldiers come to a Petition wherein they humbly desire that for the future No Soldier be turned out of place without a Council of War nor that any Action be brought against a Soldier but according to Martial Law that no Soldier be brought to Tryal for Murder Theft Sacriledge or Robbery but in a Court Marshall and that the Soldiers have the power of choosing their own General These things are argued verbally before the Protector and afterwards by Publick Writings and Declarations When Richard perceived that the Council of State and Government were tossed with these storms he though it safest to betake himself to a Parliament and try the aid thereof in his difficulties Therefore a Parliament is called to consist of two Houses according to the Model of the Instrument of Government Commissioners from Scotland and Ireland being likewise admitted who no sooner meet but they begin to quarrel at the new made Lords These again are inveighed against and it is called in question by what Right or Law they sat in that House Nor is there less heat in the House of Commons betwixt the Republicans and Court-Party the first contending that both the Scots and Irish ought to be turned out of the Parliament of England as having no right to Vote there by any Law being meer Slaves to the Protector and no ways representing the Commonwealth At length after much Jangling and many Reproaches the Members of the lower House for Reconciliation sake Vote a present Conference with those of the Other House for they studiously avoided the name of the Vpper House about Publick Affairs provided that should be no prejudice to the True and Antient Peers and those who during the War had not abandoned the Commonwealth Afterwards a Recognition in favour of Richard being moved occasioned no small stir 's in the House the Courtiers who were devoted to his Party and the Republicans clashing mightily about it taking occasion thereupon they inveigh against the Instrument of Government as being extorted from a Lame Parliament that was neither full nor free and examining all the Articles of it they let fly against Cromwell's Ghost Not a few who favoured the Kings Intrest struck in with these that the contrary parties being equally ballanced nothing might on either side be agreed upon Nevertheless they repeal the order for Imprisonment of Overton the Republican as heretofore made by Oliver Cromwell against the standing Laws and having sent for him from the Isle of Jersey where he had been detained in Prison they suffered him to shew himself near Whitehall in a trumphant manner Berkstead also Lieutenant of the Tower of London and Butler Major General of the Army a most insolent haughty Man are accused of High Treason which they thought sufficient to be done at present In the mean time the Officers of the Army obstinately urge their Proposals whose Councils were for the most part guided by many Republican Parliament-Men When some perswaded Richard and offered their assistance to quell these Men by suddenly seizing the Leaders of them when they came together to hold a Council he would not condescend partly out of Cowardise as not daring to oppose the raging Officers and partly also out of too much credulity as being perswaded by Fleetwood his Sisters Husband and his Uncle Desborough that the Army though they desired to enjoy their Priviledges and that the form of Government might be a little altered yet would not do any

famous Colonel Knight received the Salutations and Respects of the Forces in their Arms and having praised them for their dutifulness and affection proceeded forwards the people strewing Flowers and Leaves of Trees in the way and in all places offering him the choicest marks of their Honour When he was come near the City the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London welcomed him upon their knees The Mayor delivered his Majesty the Sword the Badge of his Dignity which the King graciously gave him back again and being conducted into a large and richly-adorned Pavillion was entertained at a splendid Collation From thence with a magnificent train of Persons of all quality over London-bridge he entered the City amidst such a glorious appearance of brave and great men that scarcely in any Age the triumphal Bridge of Rome ever bore a greater Pomp or victorious Tyber saw or Euphrates of old or the yet more ancient Tygris Along the Streets from London-bridge to White-hall on the one side in a continued order the Trained-bands of the City were drawn up and on the other the Companies in their Livery-gowns the houses on each side being hung with Tapistry The tops of the houses and windows were filled with vast multitudes of Spectators the People from all places flocking to this glorious and joyful Show There were no less than twenty thousand richly attired on horseback The first that led the Cavalcade were some Troops of young Gentlemen in a various most rich dress and shining Arms with Trumpets sounding before them The Sheriffs of London's men with their Spears followed after next after whom marched six hundred of the chief Citizens in Velvet-coats and Gold-chains Then followed the Kings Horse-guards led by the Lord Gerrard their Captain With the chearful musick of Drums Trumpets and Waits next advanced the Sheriffs and Aldermen of London in their Scarlet-gowns and their Horses richly deckt with Trapings their Footmen attending them shining with Gold and Silver Then followed the Kings of Arms and Heralds in their rich Coats and next to them the Lord Mayor carrying in his right hand the naked Sword and after him the Illustrious Duke of Buckingham and the renowned General Monk And now appeared Charles the Wishes of all good men and the Joys of the happy conspicuous in a triumphant Majesty On the right hand rode the Duke of York on the left the Duke of Gloucester he himself on a stately horse in the middle carrying all Triumphs and Diadems in his looks which seemed then more than humane After his Majesty came his chief Courtiers and Servants General Monk's Life-guard commanded by Sir Philip Howard and then five Regiments of Horse of Monk's Army led by Colonel Knight This Triumphal Procession was brought up by a vast body of Noblemen and Gentlemen with red Colours fringed with Gold in rich Attire shining Arms their Swords drawn and Plumes of Feather in their Hats In this order the King marched slowly through the City amidst the shouts acclamations and joyful looks of his Subjects which he triumphantly heard and beheld And now entring his Royal Palace he mounted the Throne of his Forefathers on the twenty ninth of May heretofore the day of his Birth and now of his Restauration after he had been since Worcester-fight ten years banished his Country The Members of both Houses of Parliament came to wait on his Majesty in the Banquetting-house there to express their joyful Congratulations for his Return and unfeigned Loyalty to the Government which was eloquently done by the Earl of Manchester for the House of Lords and Sir Harbotle Grimstone for the Commons The King tired out with the Fatigues of his triumphant Journey made them this short Answer I Am so disordered by my Journey and with the noise still sounding in my ears which I confess was pleasing to me because it expressed the Affections of my People as I am unfit at the present to make such a Reply as I desire yet thus much I shall say unto you That I take no greater satisfaction to my self in this my Change than that I find my heart really set to endeavour by all means for the restoring of this Nation to their Freedom and Happiness and I hope by the advice of my Parliament to assert it Of this also you may be confident That next to the honour of God from whom principally I shall ever own this Restauration to my Crown I shall study the welfare of my People and shall not onely be a true Defender of the Faith but a just Assertor of the Laws and Liberties of my Subjects The night following was consecrated to Joy The Conduits running Wine and the whole City lighted by Bonfires The loyal Citizens willing to lull asleep the memory of twenty years Calamities merrily spent the night in the noise of Trumpets Drums and Volleys of shot The providence of God Almighty never appeared more visible in humane affairs for now the Golden Age returns a Happiness too good for our times the blessed day shone forth wherein King Charles being restored to his Country restored his Country to it self and united Liberty and Monarchy two things thought incompatible under the traiterous Usurpers The honour of the Laws which makes all things firm and durable returned The splendour of the Church of England and the ancient Rites of Worship also returned Piety coming in place of Sectarian Superstition The King having tasted a little of the delights of his Return seriously set about the setling of the State entangl'd with so many Civil Dissentions and rent by Divisions and in the first place appointed a Privy-Council and disposed of the chief places of his Kingdom and Court The King makes the most Illustrious James Duke of York Lord High Admiral a Prince renowned at home and abroad and crowned with many Victories Edward Hide Earl of Clarendon was made Lord Chancellor in Eloquence not inferiour to the most famed Orators nor in Prudence to the greatest Statesmen The uncorrupted Earl of Southampton with Honour and Integrity discharged the Office of Lord High Treasurer The Illustrious charge of Steward of the Kings Houshold was conferred upon the Duke of Ormond a Peer of a steddy Judgment of the Honesty of elder times and renowned both in Peace and War The Earl of Manchester whose Loyalty had been proved was created Lord Chamberlain of the House Nicholas and Morrice two aged Knights and consummated in business were the Principal Secretaries of State Monk the Restorer formerly by the Kings Commission made General of all the British Forces is now advanced to be Master of the Horse and honoured with the Illustrious Title of Duke of Albemarle For his noble Extraction gave him a claim to the Honour of the Albemarlian Family and the bounty of the King in rewarding his good Services an Estate to support it Nor was the most Religious King less careful of the
