A65439	To the most illustrious, High and Mighty Majesty of Charles the II, by the grace of God King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, defender of the faith, etc. the humble declaration of being first a supplicatory preface and discourse of His Majesty, and then humbly shewing the great and dangerous troubles and intollerable oppressions of himself and his family, and the true occasion thereof, in the wofull times of these late most unhappy distractions : wherein the perfect loyalty of a true subject, and persideous malice and cruelty of a rebell, are evidently deciphered, and severally set forth to the publick view in their proper colours, as a caution for England : hereunto are annexed certain poems, and other treatises composed and written by the author upon several occasions, concerning the late most horrid and distracted times, and nver before published.

was to meet with my Wife telling him also that I feared she was not well in regard I did not hear of her according to the intent direction of my last letter sent unto her surely quoth he there i● some obstacle in the way that hinders much but if you please to be content Sir you shall soon know what the matter is for my Brother hath a good Horse and I will send him over to your house and he shall bring you notice how things are there at the present and what is the reason that Mrs. W●nlock doth not come as yet I was much glad of his kind offer so not long after the Messenger was sent accordingly returning the next day he did certifie me that my Wife and Children were in good health and that the Cause that she came not was for that she could not procure Horses as yet to bring her thither and alas she was not then so much as worth one her self being very loth also to trouble her Friends in Cambridgeshire so much as to send so far for Horses to convey her thither but she hoped that ere it were long she should find a means to come and see me and the residue of her good Friends there and accordingly within a week or two after she did come and there by the large and loving respect of that noble Gentlewoman her mother-in-law and another good Lady the relict of my wives brother before mentioned we did enjoy a free and cordial entertainment with much solace and com●ort but this our glimpse of happinesse if it please your Majesty did admit but of a very short continuance and must soon suffer an eclipse for we had not been thus together much above a week but some that I fear resolved to work us mischief were as evidently envious that any other should do us any good for there was a Letter conveyed unto me which came from my wives own Nephew her deceased elder brothers Son who was then a Deputy Lieutenant of the Shire a Justice of the Peace and one of the Grandees of the Committee or English Inquisition intimating unto me That he well understood in what place my abiding was at that time and also how violent my ordinary and constant discourse was against their proceedings and therefore I must not be suffered by any means to rest any longer in that Country But an Order should presently be taken to apprehend and secure me or to this effect with some other passages therein very abusive and scandal● us to my credit a notable Nephew and sincere Saint in the interim thus to offer me such a reforming curte●●e in this case of my calamity and so Iudas-like to go about to betray and aff●ight his loving harmlesse Aunt after so many bitter pills of affliction as she had formerly swallowed and only upon this occasion because she had a Husband that durst speak the truth a coarse complement from a true Christian or a generous Gentleman and yet we were in doubt that he might prove a man of his word and therefore to avoid our own danger and the detriment that might arise to the house thereby the next day with sorrowfull hearts we went away from thence to shift about as well as we could But so soon as I was gotten out of his purlieu I saluted his worship with a thundring Epistle enough to startl● and rowse his conscience if he had any and I do hope that my reproof and good Counsell did work something upon him for after this I ventured divers times to come into that Country again and yet I never heard of him any more in this kind And the truth is as I have been credibly informed that upon the most barbarous assassnation and more then hideous and horrible Murdering of his late Sacred Majestie this grosly seduced young Gentleman was strucken with such terrour and amazement in his soul that he presently deserted and gave over all his Offices and places of trust and command and was never after that any agent or instrument in that devillish Rebellion and hereupon within a while following he was in great danger himself and had surely been sequestred had it not pleased God in his mercy to take him away from his Wordly Estate here that was fair and great and to give him I hope upon his true Repentance a farr more Blessed and Glorious habitation i● the Heavens to all Eternity And so I trust that for our Eternal good the Lord was pleased to lay out for us the bitter portion to be such pitifull pilgrims but my Wifes condition could not long endure this manner of misery for she of necessity must go home again to her poor Children where alass there was little left but the bare walls and their own weak labours and endeavours to sustain themselves withall and I must still travell about I knew not well whither and my successe and fortune was very various sometimes fair and pleasant and soon again stormy and troublesome and yet I confesse and praise the goodnesse of God I did meet with many good Friends whose names and charitable deeds towards me and mine were too tedious here to be related but I hope they shall not be forgotten in Heave● and yet I should think my self guilty of ingratitude if I should not make mention of the many good respects and great kindnesse which I received at the hands of a Noble hearted Gentlewoman then dwelling at Hit●●am in Suffolk who was a deep sufferer her own self namely Mris. Bing the Wife of Henry Bing Esq then a Captain in his Majesties Armie and the Grandchild unto that honourable and famous Father of the Law Sir Edw. Coke Knight late Lord Chief Justice c. and also from the hands of another worthy Gentlewoman in the same parish who was likewise a great sufferer namely Mistris Breton the wife of Mr. Lawrence Breton Batchelour in Divinitie a learned orthodox and worshipfull Divine Neither must I omit the remembrance of the good love and favour of my noble and old acquaintance Sir William Denny of Norfolk Baronett nor the great kindnesse of Thomas Jermy of Me●●field in Sussex Esq Son and Heir of Sir Thomas Jermy Knight of the B●●h and of John Risby of Tho●p Esq Nor the kind love of my Reverend and worthy Friends Doctor Pierse of Wangford Mr. Thomas Greek Rector of Carl●on whose Grandfather I take it was one of the Barons of the Exchequer M● Sendall R●ctor of Brin●kley and Mr. Vnderwood Rector of Cheving●on and although they bee l●st here mentioned yet meriting of me as much respect as any two friends that I found in all my travels viz. my loving Kinsman Mr. James Floid then of Weston in Cambridgeshire and Mr. Tho. Ward of Abington Thus after a long and tedious perigrination I came at length by the mercie of God to the Mansion-house again of the two good Ladies before mentioned and having heard that his late Majestie had deserted Oxford and rendred
