Bradford in Fetter-Lane The Life and Death of Charles the First King of Great Britain France and Ireland THIS Pious tho' Unfortunate Prince Charles the first King of Great Britain France and Ireland was the Son of James the 6th King of Scots and Anne his Wife Daughter to the King of Denmark He was born at Dunfermeling one of the Principal Towns of Fife in Scotland on Novem. 19. Anno 1600. in so much Weakness that his Baptism was hasten'd without the usual Ceremonies Providence seeming to Consecrate him to Suffering from the very Womb. At 2 years of Age he was created Duke of Albany Marquess of Ormond Earl of Ross and Baron of Ardmanock When he was 3 years Old he was committed to the Care and Governance of Sir Robert Cary's Lady as a Reward for being the first Messenger of Queen Elizabeth's Death At 11 years of age he was made Knight of the Garter and the next Year his elder Brother Prince Henry dying he succeeded him in the Dukedom of Cornwall When he was 16 years of Age he was created Prince of Wales Earl of Chester and Flint the Revenues thereof being assigned him for the Maintenance of his Court. At 22 years of Age he was sent by the King his Father into Spain to contract a Marriage with the Iafanta but this was liker to turn into a War with the Spaniards and a Marriage was sought with Henrieta Maria the youngest Daughter of the French King In the interim of which King James died at Theobalds Sunday March the 27th 1625. And Prince Charles was immediately proclaim'd King at the Court Gate and so throughout the three Kingdoms with infinite Rejoycings His first Publick Act was celebrating his Father's Funeral whereat himself was chief Mourner contrary to the Practice of all his Royal Predecessors When he had paid that Debt he next provided for Posterity and therefore hastened the coming over of his Royal Consort whom he received at Dover and was Married on Trinity-Sunday at Canterbury Thus having dispatched the Affairs of his Family he applyed himself to those of the Kingdom in which he seem'd not so much to ascend a Throne as to wrestle with all the Difficulties of a corrupted State whose long Peace had soften'd the Nobles into Court-Pleasures and made the Commons Insolent by a great Plenty His First Parliament began June 18. At the Opening of which the King acquainted them with the necessary Supplies for the War with Spain which they had importunatly thro' his Mediation engag'd his Father in which after some Petitions and Delays they answer'd but with two Subsidies too poor a stock to furnish an Army yet was kindly receiv'd in Expectation of more at the next Sitting For the Infection seizing upon London the Parliament was adjouru'd till August when they were to meet at Oxford and at that time he pass'd some Acts that were presented to him At the next Session he gave a Complying and Satisfactory Answer to all their Petitions and expected a Return in larger Subsidies toward the Spanish War but instead of these there were high and furious Debates Grievances Consultations to form and Publish Remonstrances Accasations against the Duke of Buckingham which the King esteeming Reproaches of his Government Dissolves that Assembly hoping to find one of a less Cholerick Complexion after his Coronation This drew after it another Mischief the Miscarriage of the Designs upon Spain by rendring for want of Supplies the Fleet uncapable of attempting Cadiz And now Feb. 2d the King perform'd the Ceremony of his Coronation after which he began a 2d Parliament wherein the Commons Voted him 4 Subsidies but the Faction then forming in the Kingdom tacking it to other matters as the Ruine of the Duke of Buckingham and Remonstrances against the Government the King Dissolves the Parliament June 18. and the Bill for the Subsidies never pass'd This misunderstanding at Home produc'd another War abroad for the King of France taking advantage of these Domestick Broils began open War and Seiz'd upon the English Merchants in the River of Bourdeaux The next Year 1627 the King quicken'd by the Petitions of the Rochellers who sued for his Protection as well as by the Justice of his own Cause sent the Duke of Buckingham to attack the Isle of Rhee which partly thro' the Duke's Conduct miscarried This occasion'd the King to call another Parliament which in the begining prov'd very shamefull but the Faction labour to form new Discontents and Jealousies and are again hammering out Remonstrances to Reproach him and his Government which the King being unable to endure he Adjourns the Parliament June 26th till Octob. 20. soon after Peace was clapt up with France and King Charles the Second Born all was in Peace and Quietness till 1632 when the King took a journey into Scotland to receive the Imperial Crown there and was accordingly Crown'd at Edenburgh June 10th and return'd with great welcome again into Eungland But the Malecontents here defus'd their Poyson they complain'd of Invasions on their Spiritual Liberttes because the Bishops endeavour'd to reduce the Ceremonies of the Church to their Primitive Observance for which both his Majesty and they were defam'd with Popery And now the Tax of Ship-Money appear'd that was likewise pretended a Breach to their Civil Liberties and contrary to Law because not laid by Parliament Amidst all these difficulties and Calumnies the King hitherto had Govern'd so that sober Men could not Pray for nor Heaven grant in mercy to a People any greater happiness but for the Arts and Fury of some Wicked Men who endeavour'd to overwhelm every Part of the Kings Dominions with a Deluge of Blood The first storm arose from the North where Disputes were manag'd about Church Government till at length the King Marches that way with a Gallant Army and Oblig'd the Scots to sue for an Accommodation but they soon broke their Faith as soon as the King had Disbanded his Army which occasion'd the King to prepare for another Army and in order thereto calls a Parliament in Ireland and another in England which latter he was fain to Dissolve without any Effect The King however Vigourously Prosecuted his Undertaking and rais'd a sufficient Army but could not do it with equal speed to his Enemies so that he gave a Defeat to a Party of it e're the Rear could be brought up Commanded by the Earl of Strafford He was no sooner arriv'd at the Army himself but there follow'd him a Petition of some English Lords Conformable to the Scotch Remonstrance which they call'd the Inventions of the Army so that his Majesty might justly fear some attempts in the South while he was thus Defending himself in the
