of Lords which he at first refused to accept as being a Diminution to his Masters Greatness but at last was forced to accept of the Lord-Commissioner Whitlock Major-General Harrison Sir Henry Vane Thomas Challoner and others being appointed thereunto He delivered his Credentials which were to the Parliament of England and made an excellent Rhetorical Harangue setting forth the Constant Friendship betwixt both Kingdoms and the Civilities they had received formerly and of late from the English and desiring that the late mis-understanding might occasion no further breach thereof but that a firm and new League might be ratified as formerly He had answer that the Committee would report his Message to the Parliament and so after a mutual Salutation upon the Embassadors rising from his Chair he withdrew with the same attendance But the reason he had no solemner Reception was the pride and opimonastry the States had of themselves by the Courtships and flattering Insinuations of the Spanish Kings Embassador who had likewise desired Audience of them and came with a most welcome acknowledgement of their Commonwealth and it was a reciprocal kindness to him not to allow the Portugal his pretended Rebel and a much less potent Prince the said Grandeurs and Legatory Honours considering besides the uninterrupted amity that had yet been maintained by the Spaniard On the 16 of December therefore Don Alonzo de Cardenas who had lain Leiger Embassador in the Kings time throughout the War was with all State received to Audience in the Parliament-house he having delivered his Credentials to the Speaker which were directed Ad Parliamentum Reipublicae Angliae and Conducted back again with large protestations of friendship and good correspondence on their part to be inviolately observed During these Forrain Agencies the New State was Alarmed with an Insurrection in Norfolk where some hundreds of men were gathered together Declaring for King Charles the second but the County-Horse quartering at Lyn and a Troop of Rich's men that were neer at hand being there before having some intelligence of the designe presently dispersed them most flying into Lincolnshire and saved the London-Forces the trouble of a long Journey who were then on their way To try these Insurrectors a High Court of Iustice was Erected by the Parliament at Norwich the Members and Commissioners whereof chose out of themselves Justice Iermin their President and Justice Puliston and Warberton to be his Co-adjutors Those Condemned 24 whereof 20 were Executed the chief of those thus Condemned were Mr. Cooper a Minister in the same County who was Executed at Holt and died a Loyal and Christian Martyr Major Saul formerly an Officer in the Kings Army and a Merchant and a Brewer in the City of Norwich There were several persons of quality besides as Sir Iohn Tracy Gibbons Esq. and others secured and committed but no proof coming in they were at last acquitted While we mention the High Court of Iustice a very remarkable instance of the Justice of Heaven the Highest Court deserves mention One Anne Green a Servant in Sir Thomas Read's House at Dunstu in Oxfordshire being supposed to be gotten with Childe by one of that Family as the woman constantly affirmed when she had no temptation to lye neer the fourth Month of her time with over-working her self by turning of Malt fell in Travel and not knowing what the matter might be went to the House of Office and with some straining the Childe not above a span-long and of what Sex not to be distinquished fell unawares as she all along affirmeth from her Now there appearing the signes of such a thing in the Linnen where the Wench lay and carrying a suspition thereof and she before confessing that she had been guilty of such matters as might occasion his being with Child thereupon a search was made and the above-said Infant was found on the top of the Jakes and she after three days from her delivery being carried to the Castle of Oxford was forthwith Arraigned before Mr. Crook sitting as Judge in a Commission of Oyer and Terminer and by him Sentenced to be Hanged which was Executed on the 14 day of December in the said Castle-yard She hung there neer half an hour being pulled by the Legs and struck on the Brest by divers Friends and above all received several stroaks on her Stomack with the But-end of a Souldiers Musquet Being cut down she was put into a Coffin and brought to a house to be Dissected before a Company of Physicians according to appointment by Doctor Petty the Anatomy-Reader in that University When they opened the Coffin to prepare the Body for Dissection they perceived some small ratling in her Throat and a lusty Fellow standing by thinking to do an act of Charity stamped upon her Breast and Belly Doctor Petty Mr. Willis of Christ-Church and Mr. Clerk of Magdalen-Colledge presently used means and opening a Vein laid her in a warm Bed and caused one to go into Bed to her and continued the use of divers Remedies respecting her senselessness Head Throat and Brest so that it pleased God within 14 hours she spoke and the next day talked and prayed very heartily and was in a hopeful way of perfect health whereupon the Governour presently procured her a Reprieve thousands of people coming to see her and magnifying the just providence of God in asserting her Innocency of Murther After two or three days of her recovery when Doctor Petty heard she had spoken and suspecting that the Women about her might suggest unto her to relate of strange Visions and Apparitions to have been seen by her in that time wherein she seemed dead which they had begun to do having caused all to depart the room but the other Gentlemen of the Faculty she was asked concerning her sense and apprehensions during that time she was Hanged At first she spake somewhat impertinently talking as if she had been now to suffer and when they spake unto her of her miraculous deliverance from so great sufferings she answered That she hoped that God would give her patience and the like Afterward when she was better recovered she affirmed and doth still that she neither remembereth how her Fetters were knocked off how she went out of the Prison when she was turned off t●e Ladder whether any Psalm was sung or not nor was she sensible of any pain as she can remember Another thing observable is that she came to her self as if she had awakened out of a Sleep not recovering the use of speech by slow degrees but in a manner all together beginning to speak just where she had left off on the Gallows I have thought this occurrence no way unworthy of a Remembrance in this Chronicle but very fit to be transmitted to Posterity for Gods Glory and Mans Caution in Judging and punishing Several Acts passed the Parliament this Ianuary as namely for continuance of the Committee for the Army and Treasurers at War

Kings Servants with the Kings Standard which he had set up when he Summoned the Country the Kings Coach and Horses and Collar of SS but that which was ten times more worth than all the Kings Person they had no power to touch He as was said before departed in the dusk leaving Colonel Carcles now by the King in honour of his carefulness of his Majesties person Named Carlos and a Coat of Arms pointing at this service added in his Rear to keep the Enemy in dispute while he was something onward on his way and the dusk and deliberation might favour his escape To which end all persons about him were Commanded to speak French and a present consultation was held which course they should steer and it was resolved by the Earl of Derby that they should make what speed they could and recover a place called Whiteladies before morning which was some 25 miles from Worcester and thereupon one Mr. Giffard then in the Company was called for his guidance thither it belonging to his Family and one Walker that had been formerly a Scout-master in the Kings Army was his assistant yet the way was mistaken as they passed a Heath but by good providence soon recovered Betwixt three and four a Clock the King reached this place and Mr. Giffard after some knocking at the Door called up one George Penderill a servant in the House who heating and knowing his Voice ●an down in his Shirt and opened the Door and the King and his Retinue entred where after a little debate about the security of his person the said Earl having called thither William Penderill the House-keeper of Boscobel and another dispatcht towards Tong to see if the Coast was yet clear His Majesty having had his Hair cut off and his Buff-doublet and Linnen-breeches Buried and disguised in Country-Habit was with adjuration of the Fidelity of the Penderills who were with their Brother-in-law George Yates in number five Committed and intrusted by the Earl of Derby to their Tuition which they most solemnly and dutifully promised Then the Earl and the rest of the Lords viz. the Duke of Buckingham and that train with Tears took their leave Derby would have staid but there was no probability of secrecy for two and the Lord Wilmot with Iohn Penderil withdrew himself from that Company to another retreat The rest except the Duke who lay concealed in other friends houses about that Country were taken as aforesaid at Newport by Lilburns Horse the same who had defeated the Earl of Derby who now rendred himself a Prisoner to one Captain Edge of Lancashire on promise of quarter for Life As soon as the King was thus left by his Company with a Wood-hill in his hand he was conducted into a Wood or Coppice neer adjoyning borrowing the Name of William Iones a Wood-cutter newly come thither for Work and was accordingly instructed in his Tongue and Behaviour That day proved very wet so that Yate's Wife brought him a Blanket to cover him and a dish of Milk and Apples for his refreshment and at night against his coming home where the Mother of the Penderils at her Son Richard's most joyfully welcomed him provided an ordinary Country Supper which ended the King with Richard his Guide resolving for Wales went to one Mr. Wolfe 's of Madely where for fear of search the King was fain to take up his quarters in the Barn Mr. Wolfe and his Wife attending on him there while no accomodations was good enough for his Rebels now lying in multitudes up and down that Country Here his Majesty understood that the Passes over the Water and the River Severn were so guarded that it was unfeasible ●or him to adventure over into Wales so that on Friday-night the King retreated in his Woolen accoutrements about his Legs in which he had lain in that hard lodging in great pain and soreness to Boscobel where he found Colonel Carlos who had also betaken himself thither for shelter by his direction that Saturday the King went into the Wood from the pleasantness whereof the House took its name and by his assistance ascended into the top of that most Celebrated Oak which being thick with Branches stretching and shaddowing foreright was altogether impervious to the sight and here the Colonel bore him Company while He laid his Head and slept upon a Pillow in his Lap At night they both descended and came into the House and refresht themselves The King perceiving the secrecy of the place was not willing to keep longer abroad Sunday the King past away in a kinde of Arbour or Banquetting-house at the end of the Garden At this House Iohn Penderil found him being sent before by the Lord Wilmot to conduct him to Mr. Whitgraves at Mosely whither with much difficulty and danger he himself had arrived but the safety there answered all The King approved of the Lord Wilmot's Residence and on Munday night with the guard of the five Brethren on Humphrey the Millers Horse and like accoutrements came to Mr. Whitgrave's where he was joyfully welcomed by the Lord and that Gentleman and conveyed into a secret place and there consultation was held for a further progression in this happy escape and to this purpose one Colonel Lane of Bentley was made acquainted with it and by them agreed that Mrs. Iane Lane upon pretence of assisting at the Child-bed of her Sister should Ride to Bristol and the King as her Servant before her with Mr. Lassels and his Wife behinde him a Pass accordingly having been procured On their way thither the Lord Wilmot as of chance met with them having a Hauk on his Fist and so they journeyed together to Bromsgrove where the Kings Horse losing a Shoe His Majesty was forced to carry the Horse to a Farrier who enquiring of News of the King and being answered with the success of the Fight at Worcester but that the King was escaped into Scotland replied that no doubt the King was secretly somewhere in England and wisht he knew where for that he could get 1000 l. by taking of him That he providentially mist the King departing from thence to Evesham where advising how to avoid Troopers then Grazing their Horses in the Meadows adjoyning they light upon them in a neer Village but were civilly past from thence

Col. Read's and Col. Fairfax's Regiments were at his service On the Twenty first he marched to Lithgow with some Horse and Foot intending for Ayre but understanding that his own Lieutenant-Col Holms was got there before him who was an Anabaptist being loth to receive any opposition in the beginning of his Enterprise he returned and under his own Hand and Seal constituted and commissioned several Officers in the room of those he had secured and forthwith sent away for Fairfax's Read's and Cobbet's Regiments to March and joyn with him leaving Captain Winter with Two hundred men to keep the Citadel of Saint Iohnstons which like number and no more he left in the other Three upon his departure for England and Rendezvouz'd his other Forces the last of October and dispatcht away Letters to the Speaker Fleetwood Lambert as also to Hull where Overton was now Governour by the Pearl-Frigot and lastly a Letter to the gathered Churches for he was to fight with these Hypocrites at their own Weapons Colonel Pearson one of General Monkes Officers in Scotland was by order hence sent down as to his Charge there but secretly to corrupt and incline the Army to Lambert but arriving at Newcastle and understanding by several transfuges from Scotland of the Anabaptist Perswasion what course G. Monke had taken he staid there his Field-Officers being in custody already except Lieutenant-Col Keyn newly released during his stay here Letters were by his means intercepted as they were carrying to Exeter and Devonshire sowed up in a mans Doublet without any direction but Signed with his own Hand and Written by Master after Sir William Clark wherein he gave his Friends notice to stand upon their Guard and that as soon as the Army was drawn from London the City would declare with him as he expected likewise they would c. Pearson at the sending up of these Letters a Treaty being then mentioned betwixt both parties and to which end the discarded Officers as Whally and Goffe Mr. Caryl and Mr. Barker Independent Ministers went in the way of Brotherly-love to move and perswade him gave this Comment of them as one well acquainted with his General That what ever he pretended he scorned all their messages and overtures meerly winning time by them and that nothing but force could reduce him Col. after Major General Morgan upon the same pretences with Col. Whally c. went out of Yorkshire to Scotland and joyned with the General as he had received an invitation from him by a private Messenger and did mainly assist in this ground-work to the conclusion and perfection thereof In the mean while it was resolved by the Officers here for fear of the worst and to be ready against all accidents if no good could be done by this fair way of Message to send down Lambert with most of the Army Northwards and there in that posture to expect the issue and he very willingly it being his own advice undertook it having refused and declined those tenders and offers which particularly my Lord Hatton made to him in the name of the King If he would now at last mind his own good and the Kingdoms in returning to his Allegiance and convert his designs for himself to the service of his Soveraign in his Restitution the said Lord further assuring him that if he did it not it would be presently done without him beyond his power of remedying it and that therefore he should not let slip such an opportunity of raising himself and his posterity But he replying upon the Army-Interest which if it could have been cemented with money would have caused a hazardous opposition to any other and the Anabaptist-party now very numerous and at this time uppermost for that had its turn too as well as Presbytery and Independency but swayed not so long all the other Sects centring here for now was the time of the fulness and visible power of Sion as it was counted by these People resolved to proceed on this Expedition and if fortune favoured him there he feared no other Enemy to his ambition On the Third of November a very ominous day as it was observed by reason the Long-Parliament sate down that day in One thousand six hundred and forty he departed from London by Ware-road and hastned to New-castle just as Col. Barrow was returned from Ireland with the supposed acquiescence of that Kingdome in this change Tomlinson Iohn Iones and Corbet who were then the Governours and Commissioners declaring as much but Sir Charles Coot Sir Hardress Waller upon different grounds and his party combined against it There was a project to get the City to write to General Monke for a good Understanding where Master now Sir William Wild very opportunely for the Times he being a most knowing and upright Gentleman was chosen Recorder in place of young Master Green deceased General Monke removed the Officers he had secured in Timptallon-Castle to the Basse-Island out of all way of Communication and sent Major Knight of his own Regiment of Horse with five Troops as far as Morpeth in Northumberland and upon notice of the readiness of Lambert drew out more Southwards for a Bravado to let them see how resolved and prepared their General was and departed In the same instant Col. Talbot and Mr. Thomas Clargis his Excellencies Brother-in-law were sent with another Complement from hence to ingratiate with the General and now he is pleased though he had refused Goff and Whally Regicides and Caryl their Priest whose person he yet outwardly liked to accept of a Treaty and Col. Wilks Lieutenant-Col Clobery and Major Knight were appointed his Commissiomers to go for London to Treat with Three more and in the mean while his Forces should not stir further Southwards These upon their journey Lambert met with and hoping their Errand would end in an acquiescence as they promised did acquisce himself and await the Issue which upon the arrival of them at London came to a speedy result though Three Kingdoms were the subject of this Treaty betwixt Six unlearned men and like a happy Revelation was cryed about the Streets the next morning the Heads were these Novemb. 16. They were proposed the Seventeenth concluded viz. The Family of the King utterly to be excluded a Free-State Setled the Ministry and Vniversities encouraged the Generals Officers imprisoned to be released and a general Indemnity of the Parliament-party and the Armies to retire presently into Quarters and Three Army-Officers of each Kingdome and a general Council of them with ten Sea-Off●cers and I know not what Embryo to meet on the Sixth of December at Whitehall and to conclude as Vane had codled it about which time Captain Robinsons's and Captain Deans's Troops deserted him Robinson bringing his Troop away with him his Brother being then Clerk of the Committee of Safety and allied by Marriage of a Daughter to Sir Nicholas Crispe But the General was intent upon another more

others of note among whom was one Captain Elsemere formerly a Captain in Ingoldsby's Regiment being taken and some former Troopers of the same who were afterwards Sentenced Colonel Massey appeared likewise in Gloucester-shire but by the same perfect intelligence at White-hall he was no sooner up but he was seized and taken by some of their Horse and being put behinde one of the Troopers to bring him away as they were marching down a Hill the Horse fell and gave the Colonel an opportunity to shove the Trooper forwards and to make his escape into an adjoyning Wood which was the fourth he made during these troubles Hertford shire and Essex were associated likewise in the same designe now forming and acting but the like discovery prevented it Sir Thomas Leventhorpe and Mr. Thomas Fanshaw hardly escaping a surprize and seizure Major-General Brown was not idle all the while in London several Lists being filled with undertakers of the Kings Quarrel but such was the vigilance of the Council of State who sate day and night and so many defeats and disappointments and so many Prisoners evey day brought in that nothing was done here Lambeth Gate-house was made a Goal and Sir Francis Vincent and Colonel Brown of Surrey concerned in the Earl of Litchfield's attempt were Committed thither But that which look'd indeed formidable was the rising of Sir George Booth in Cheshire

White with a party from Nottingham Rendezvouzed at Sherwood-forrest with a designe on Belvoyr-castle but were frustrated and so onward to Derby where they published Sir George's Declaration which the Towns-men very well approved of but Forces under Colonel Sanders being on their way thither they were forced to sit still and cry peccavi Colonel White was taken Prisoner Another appearance there was about Shrewsbury but all came to nothing the Lady Littletons's Sons and the Whittingtons were herein engaged As soon as the news of this Sir George Booth's rising was publique a Petition was presented to the Parliament from some pretended Cheshire-men wherein they set forth that to prevent the like Rebellious Insurrections the Parliament should discharge all Tenants of their Tenures from Delinquent Land-lords and that they should hold their Lands thenceforth of the Commonwealth at the same time and straight a Committee was ordered to withdraw and bring in a draught of this devi●e and Major-General Lambert was Commissioned to march with three Regiments of Horse and three of Foot and some Dragoons Militia-forces being to joyn with him in his march and some Forces out of Ireland under Colonel Zanchy and Ax●el ● to the reduction of Sir George and his Forces Colonel Desb rough was likewise sent with the same Command and some Forces into the West Proclamati●n came out at this

was taken at his House in Arms and carried Prisoner to Leicester which was the condition of many other Gentlemen the Earl of Oxford Prisoner to the Serjeant at Arms the Lords Faulkland and Delaware to the Tower whither not long after was brought the Lord Viscount Falconbridge the Lord Bellasis and Earl of Chesterfield Lord Charles Howard and Lord Castleton Lambert with no great hast marched to the Confines of Chester desirous to make a War of it and to settle himself in the Souldiers affections but such course had been taken by his Masters that very few accessions of strength came in to Sir George more than what were first numbered who nevertheless resolved to abide the fortune of Battle and drew up neer Norwich whither Lambert was advancing in the Meadows adjoyning having the Rivers before them and the Bridges guarded but Lambert's Horse and Foot resolutely fal●●●g on together at the Bridge the Fight was soon over all the defence being made by one Morgan a gallant Gentleman and some Horse of his Troop who presently died of his Wounds There were not above 30 killed in all and some 500 taken Prisoners and most of the Gentlemen and Officers This was August 16. and presently the Army advanced to Chester where Colonel

of reducing the stubborness of some of the principal there to their obedience in the discussing and conclusion of that affair as he was Hunting neer Arnhem a destemper seized him which turning to the Small Pox and a Flux of putrified blood falling upon his Lungs presently carried him away on the 17 of October not without suspition of Poison leaving behind him the Princess Royal neer her time who to the great joy of the Low Countries was deliv●red of a young Prince on the 5 of November as a cordial to that immoderate grief Her Highness and her Family took from this sad providence the Prince being the most sincere and absolute friend his late and present Majesty found in the greatest difficulties of their affairs The War in Ireland went on prosperously still with the Parliament the success being very much facilitated by the misunderstanding and divisions that were among the Catholicks and the Protestant Loyal party there in so much that the Lord Ormond the Lieutenant was not regarded among them nor he able through this means to make any head against Ireton then left Deputy in that Kingdom so that little of any memorable action passed in the field till the expiration of the Summer at which time Ireton intending to besiege Limrick one of the strongest Cities in Ireland marched from Waterford and made a compass into the County of Wicklow which being stored with plundered Cattle furnished him with 1600 Cows for provision in that Leaguer and so marched to Athlo●e in hopes to gain it but finding the Bridge broke and the Town on this side burnt he left that and took two other Castles and the Bur on the same side and presently clapped down before Limrick having marched 150 miles and in some Counties 30 miles together and not a house or living creature to be seen The Marquess Clanrickard to whom the Military power was by general consent devolved as being a Papist and a Native of most Antient and Noble Extraction and by the very good liking of the Marquess of Ormond who had had large experience of his exemplary fidelity to the King and the English interest ever since the very first Rebellion in 1641 having notice of the Enemies being at Athlone marched with 3000 men to whom joyned afterwards young Preston late at Waterford presently to the relief of it if any thing should have been attempted and passing the Shanon having notice of Ireton's quitting Athlone took the two Castles again and laid siege to the Bur where two great Guns had been left by the English To the relief whereof likewise Colonel Axtel having fac'd them before but now reinforced marched with a resolution to Engage being in all some 2500 men whereupon the Marquess Clanrickard quitted the Siege and retreated to Meleke Island bordering upon the Shanon into which there was but one Pass and a Bog on each side On the 25 of October a little before night Axtel made a resolute attempt upon them and after a sharp disp●te beat them from the first and second Passes and at the third which was strongly fortified came to the B●t-end of the Musquet and entred the Island which the Irish in flight deserted leaving most of their Arms behind 200 Horse all their Waggons and Baggage so that what by the Sword and the River one half of that Army perished On the English side Captain Goff and a hundred more were killed the Marquess was himself not present but was gone upon a designe against the Siege at Limerick which advanced very slowly The next day the Irish quitted all the Garrisons they had taken and fired th●m whereupon Ireton drew from Limerick and took in the st●o●g Castle of Neanagh in low Ormond and so retreated to his Winter-quarters a● Kilkenny in November These untoward events and misfortunes one upon the neck of another together with the displacency and dissatisfaction among themselves made the Lord Ormond despair of retriving His Majesties interest in that Kingdom without forrain assistance and therefore he resolved to depart and signified his intentions accordingly to the Council of of the Irish who after some arguments and intreaties of his further stay did at last humbly and sorrowfully take leave of him rendring him all expressions of thanks and honour for those unwearied Services he had done his Country and passed several Votes in record thereof desiring his Lordship to excuse those many failures which evil times and strange necessities had caused in them and desiring him to be their Advocate to His Majesty and to other Princes to get some aid and supplies from them to the defence of that gasping Realm that now strugled with its last Fate About the beginning of December the Marquess took shipping in a little Frigat called the Elizabeth of 28 Tuns and 4 Guns and set sail from Galloway followed by the Lord Inchiqueen Colonel Vaughan the Noble Colonels Wogan and Warren and some 20 more persons of Honour intending for France Scilly or Iersey but happily landed at St. Malos in France in Ianuary whence they went to Paris and gave the Queen-Mother an account of that Kingdom Thence the Marquess of Ormond removed to Flanders and the Lord Inchiqueen into Holland and came to Amsterdam the Valiant Wogan taking the first opportunity in Scilly in order to his further service of the King in Scotland where he first manifested his Zeal and gallantry to the Royal Cause The noise of these lucky Atchievements had made most of the Neighbouring Princes consider a little further and more regardfully of this Commonwealth more especially such whose Trade by Sea might be incommodated by their Naval-force which now Lorded it in gallant Fleets upon the adjoyning Seas The first whom this danger prevailed upon was the King of Portugal Iohn the 4. whose Fleet laden with Sugar from Brasile General Blake had met with and for his entertainment of Prince Rupert with his Fleet now newly taken and dispersed brought away 9 of them into the River of Thames where they were delivered to the Commissioners for Prize-goods then newly established by Authority of Parliament upon which score the State received in few years many hundred thousand pounds and was cheated of almost as much whose names were Blackwel Blake Sparrow and upon the Dutch-War others particularly named for that very Affair because of its continual Employment In the Month of December therefore he sent hither his Embassador who landed at ●he Isle of Wight and gave notice to the Council of State of his Arrival who instead of a better complement sent him a safe Conduct for his Journey to London there being then open Hostility between the two Nations for that the King of Portugal to satisfie himself of his damages sustained in his Sugar-fleet had sei●●d all the English Merchants goods in Lisbon On the 11 of December he had Audience before a Committee of Parliament attended with the Master of the Ceremonies and 20 of his own retinue in the House
