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 .
