Morning But before they went out of the Hall of the Castle the Burgo-masters presented themselves and M. Snel in the name of the rest delivered this Oration Sir The Magistrate and Council of â—en of this Town of Breda The Speech of the Burgo-master of Breda present themselves again with a most low reverence before your Majesty to render you most humble Thanks for the honour it hath pleased you to do the Town by the residence you have made here and to bring you a last proof of the perfect Joy which the wonderful success of your Majesty hath caused as it is the powerful hand and infinite Providence of God which hath drawn your Majesty out of a Gulf of dangers and hath conducted you through a Desart of Afflictions even unto the Entrance of the Greatness which your Predecessors have gained to their Royal posterity This is the Subject of our Joy Sir when we know that after the success of 〈◊〉 Battels Victories gained at the price of the blood of Subjects may content the Ambition of a Prince transported yet your Majesty is of that debonnair disposition and so good a Prince your thoughts so generous and magnanimous as to prefer an innocent Triumph before all other advantages of the world We praise with all our hearts that great God who hath begun this great Work in the Person of your Majesty and pray him ardently that it will please him to hear the Devotions which we shall continue to make uncessantly for the prosperity of the voyage and Reign of your Majesty The King answered That he thanked the Magistrate Council for the Affection they expressed to him and should endeavour to acknowledge it on all Occasions that should be presented unto him Whereupon the Burgomaster having taken the liberty to reply That since his Majesty had the Goodness to accept the Affection and Zeal they had for his Service he besought him most humbly to remember the Grace which he had made them to hope for when he concluded in that place by Treaty with the Deputies of Scotland some years since that he would be pleased to honour the Town of Breda and its Inhabitants with all the Favour which the Laws of his Kingdom would permit to grant them The King answered That he rememembred it very well and that he was obliged to do so much for a Town where he had received such acceptable News and which had rendred him so many testimonies of Respect and Affection The King took Coach after this Audience and betwixt eleven and twelve of the Clock came to Marvaert His Majesty embarques He found some Squadrons of Horse there in Battalia and the Deputies of the States of Holland who presented themselves at the Boot of his Coach and made him their Complement in the name of their Superiours at the entrance of their Province After some Addresses and short Salutations he proceeded to the end of the Causey or Dike where they had made a Bridge from the Dike to the Pinnace to facilitate his Embarquement For that splendid Occasion they as formerly they used to do for a Coach to conduct Ambassadors requested the Pinnace or Barge of the Princess Dowager of Aurange which should represent that of the States But the King having viewed it and some others chose one which by his former use of it as delighting much to pass by water he knew commodious and because that of the Princesses was not great enough to lodge the King and the Princess Royal of Orange who would pass the night by the King her Brother with persons necessary for their Service That Barge was formerly made for the Prince of Aurange and was the biggest of the Fleet which consisted of thirty great Barges besides innumerable other Barks called Yachts a kind of little Frigots The Vessel the King was in so pleased him that he said in Discourse to the Deputies of Holland that he would cause one to be made in the same manner as soon as he should arrive into England to serve him upon the Thames above Bridge This gave occasion to one of the Deputies Mr. de Vlooswick of Amsterdam to tell the King that lately they had made one in their Town of the same bigness at least as commodious every way which he took the liberty to offer to his Majesty The King neither accepted nor declined so that Order was privately sent to Amsterdam to make it ready and gild it with curious Paintings inside and outside which at his going away was presented to him and is now the Brigandine his Majesty useth on the River The Distribution of the other Yachts to the Lords and their Retinue The Order of the Fleet. was transferred upon the King no person of the Dutch being able without some disgust to appoint them The Duke of York Admiral The King therefore in this occasion ordained that the Duke of York should perform the Office of Admiral in consigning the Yachts under his Authority and in his Presence so that his Royal Highness gave himself the Yacht of the Princess Dowager of Orange The Duke of Glocester had that of the States of Holland the Princess Royal to attend her one of the Yachts of the Council of State The Deputies of Holland were shipt in Mr. Beverweerts Yacht where Don Estevande Gamarra who went to meet the King at Moordike not in quality of Ambassador of Spain but as a particular servant of his Majesty the Rhinegrave the Lord Crofts and other English Lords The Chancellor of England and S. Edw. Nicholas embarqued themselves in a little Pinnace call'd the Maid of Zeland the Marquess of Ormond in another the Marquess of Worcester in the Postillion of Zeland the Lord St. John and Bellasis in that of the Admiral Lieut. of Holland St. Thomas Clargy's with his Attendants in the Yacht of the Town of Dort the Lord Gerard and other Noblemen in the Governours of Sluce The Prince of Oranges Yacht was reserved for the Chamber and Wardrobe of the Princess Royal. Every of these Vessels had its Steward and all other Officers necessary for the Kitchin and Buttery and they which had not the commodity to have their Kitchin aboard themselves were accompanied with other Barks where Chimnies were made for the Kitchin and Ovens for the Pastery and Provision of so prodigious a quantity of all sorts of Meats of Fowl of Sweet-meats of Wine that all the Tables were plentifully served therewith and in such great abundance that the English Stewards that are known to be rather superfluous than otherwise being accustomed to large provisions were astonied thereat and confessed that they could not comprehend how they could make ready in Boats which were so tossed twenty or five and twenty great Dishes for every Table I insist the longer upon this Naval Story because never any such thing happened before in Holland there is a Character of that Nation that they dwell upon the Waters and certainly it was verified here such a multitude

The several quarters of the renowned Montrosse had been taken down some time before and with great solemnity and procession deposited in the several Cities where before they stood advanced upon their Gates whence by order of the Parliament the whole body was reassembled and with great State and Magnificence by direction from his Majesty out of his entire love and affection to the memory of so loyal and dear a servant and friend interred after this manner there in as great pomp as ever was seen in that Kingdom the funerall proceeding from the Abby Church to St. Gyleses in Edenburg First went the Lord great Commissioners Lifeguard of Horse then two conductors in mourning with one Gumphione of twenty four sallies in long black Gowns and black Callots on their heads An open Trumpet with the defunct Colours at his Banners A Gentleman in compleat Armour with a plume of Feathers in his Arms of the colour of the deceased's Paternal coat his saddle Horse with a rich saddle led by two Lacquies servants of friends two and two in mourning John Graham of Dorchries carrying the great Pinsel of Honour with his full atchievement Thomas Graham of Polento carrying the great Standart of Honour with his full atchievement A Horse with a great Saddle Pistols and Holsters fit for service led by a Lacquey in Livery his particular servants two and two in mourning His Parliament Horse with a rich foot Mantle led by two Lacqueys in Liveryes with Badges back and breast Four Trumpets in mourning carrying the Arms of the deceased on both sides of their banner William Graham of Duntrume the younger carrying the great Gumphion on the point of a Lance George Graham of Carine the younger carrying the mourning Pinsel George Graham of Inchbecke the younger carrying a mourning Standart Lords friends two and two in mourning Walter Graham of Duntran the elder carrying the Spurs Alexander Graham of Druming carring the Gantlet George Graham of Menzie carrying the Crollet with back and breast Mungo Graham of Gorthie carrying the Head-piece 8 Gentlemen carrying the eight branches of the House and Family of Montross Capa in Bucklerin carrying the deceaseds Arms in black Taffata mourning Launces Four Trumpets with the like Banners six Heralds six Pursivants the two Secretaryes his Chaplain and Physitian James Graham carrying the Parliament Robes Robert Graham the Elder of Cairny carrying the Generals Batoon Patrick Graham the Elder of Inchbecky carrying the order of the Garter Graham Lord of Morfie carrying the Coronet Graham Lord of Phintry carrying the Commission and Purse His Coat of Arms carried by Lyon King at Arms in mourning Twelve Noblemen to carry the Pall viz.

M. his advice thought fit to be alienated to the publique that is shared among the Usurpers This was the Crown afterwards violated deprived and widdowed of that sacred Royal head of King Charles the Martyr when its Gold turned pale and lay covered in the ruine the dust and ashes of three miserable and mourning Kingdoms This was the Crown which alone of all the Insignia of Majesty as Elijah of all the Prophets that had not bowed their knees to Baal abhorted the Idolatry of Cromwels usurpation and escaâ—ed the ravishing and polluted hands of that Tyrant when like Caligula that set the heads of the Gods upon his own statues he assumed all the other regalities of his rightful Soveraign but could no way fit this sacred Symbol of Majesty though he could all other Holy things and the Scripture it selfe to his impious designments This was that Crown which the malignity of a dire pestilence had envied the fight and blessing thereof to the City of London his Majesties imperial Chamber which sadly felt the other plagues of War and Want in a more forcible absence of it
