THE PARLIAMENTS AND LONDONS PREPARATION FOR HIS MAJESTIES RETVRN With the Manner how many Parliament men with the Lord Major and Aldermen are to congratulate his Majesty With the manner likewise how many Petitions are to be delivered unto him and the Substance of the same As also the true Relation how the 12. accused Bishops are devoted out of the House of Peers and being called to their Tryall they expected the Kings either Ascent or Discent thereunto which induced His Majesty to return With the certain time prefixed when he doth return Composed and published by Iohn Bond LONDON Printed for Iohn Tompson 1641. THE PARLIAMENTS AND LONDONS Preparation for His Majesties Return A King is Quasi caput populi the head of his people and if the head be absent the other members must consequently languish Yea the joy and prosperus consolation of a Nation is the present enjoiment of their Prince But I do not delineate this in a Tropologicall sence or that any should conclude hereupon that our Royall Kings Absence should cause or produce any distasters For hee had bin so opposed in his pleasures and Commands that it did not onely cause his just indignation but likewise respectively induced him to leave his Palace at Westminster and progressed forwards to Windsor where his Majesty hath continued a long time But he taking into his Princely consideration the longing expectation of his loyall Subjects for his presence the great desolation and condole for his absence together with the manifold distractions and distempers in the kingdome did most discreetly resolve himself to honour the Parliament and City once more with his presence Whereupon the Parliament and City having intelligence did respectively consult how they should congratulate his Majesty in such satisfactory manner as might be correspondent to his contentive pleasure Divers Parliament men were immediately selected both out of the House of Peers and Commons to meet him as also the Lord Major Aldermen and chief Citizens are in preparation to congratulate his Majesty But after their submissive and humble salutation there are divers Petitions to be delivered and presented to his Majesty concerning his gracious concurrance with the Parliament in extirpating the Recusant party and devoting the Popish Lords and Bishops from the House of Peers and desiring his longer continuance with them in the establishing of the weighty and impendent affairs of the Kingdome I cannot absolutely and directly satisfie the Reader hereof the prefixed time when his Majesty will certainly return for that is very ambiguous but this J can resolve him off he is daily expected and without doubt he will be here present in a sudden processe of time And as soone as the Parliament and City can have more direct and confident intelligence of his more certain return they will perform what is aforementioned in the mean time they are in great and deliberate preparation for the same Yet in his absence hee hath not bin altogether vnmindfull of his People but hath bin rather more sollicitous and as tender over their welfare as a father is over his own Son Hee hath oftentimes sent Letters to his Parliament to comfort and encourage them in their unwearied sedulity Hee hath likewise graciously answered them in all their Petitions and hath become as indulgent as ever Prince hath bin None knowes the care and solicitation of a Prince for they Atlas-like do support the burthen of the whole Kingdome besides and withall they do judiciously consider that Regis ad exemplum totus componitur orbis For the Subjects are composed to follow the pattern and example of their Prince And God be praised our King may be esteemed and reputed the glory and mirror of the world both in his own Princely life and exhortive admonitions to his Subjects two things especially entertained in his Royall breast seen to be unparallel'd First his Patience then his constancie for the truth For which two he ought not onely to be applauded but likewise meritoriously deserve the diurnall prayers of his liege People for the continuance and corroboration of the same God of his infinite mercy grant that the King and Parliament may co-unitely concur for the setling of peace and tranquility amongst us the establishing of Religion and the mittigating of these various distempers and distractions that all obstacles and obstructions whatsoever that interrupts either of them may be moved and the pure streams of Justice run clearly against all Delinquents without connivance or partiality For the State lies sick and of a dangerous disease too which if it be not suddainly cured will contaminate the whole land break out into an ulcer and so exulcerate all parts by its pestiferous and diffusive contagion of ruinate destruction But I hope that maladie likewise will be averted from us and the Kingdome likewise will be soundly purged from all distempers that now corrupt it then I say all discords and distractions will be ended at the reciprocall and mutuall conjunction of the King and Parliament Thus shall pietie and sincere Religion distend its branches once more peace and securitie reflourish again within our walles and all tumultuous confusions be anihilated and abolished to the honour of Gods holy name the glory and fame of his Majestie the immortall renown and credit of the Parliament and the eternall prosperitie of the Kingdome FINIS
