THE GLORIOUS TRIUMPH AND ORDER OF THE Ceremonies observed in the Marriage of the High and Mighty CHARLES King of Great Britain, and the Lady HENRETTA MARIA, Sister to the most Christian King of FRANCE.  
NOW at last, God being favourable unto our Country of France, hath pleased to grant what we most desired so long since; and those thick clouds which seemed to obscure the lustre of our Country, and had as it were conspired to kill the fruit thereof in the very blossom, are now scattered and blown over, together with the bad influence which threatened us, God in his secret will permitting that two of the most mighty and potent Kingdoms of Christendom, should be united together, by the most glorious Marriage that ever was seen in the world. Therefore now our Invincible King Lewis the Just, must needs promise to himself all felicity, glory and happiness heaped upon him by this Union.  
What great contentment hath France, and Great Britain profit, to see themselves so inseparably united, by a more undissoluable knot then the Gordian, and by a friendship better cimmented together, than the Stones of the Babylonian walls, founded by Semiramis? For never shall any enemies be found strong enough to shake two so flourishing Kingdoms, which derive their greatness from heaven, and their limits from the circumference of the Globe: Let all good Frenchmen now then rejoice, at such time as the adversaries of our State, trembling with amazement and fear, have their very souls afflicted with so goodly an alliance: And that I may leave an eternal memory thereof unto all posterity, I will most succinctly here declare, the magnificent triumphs and true manner of this happy marriage.  
ON Thursday, the 8. day of May, the King came forth into his Chamber, and there appeared like the glorious Sun, outshining the other Stars, having his Queen with him, his second light: the Prince his only brother, my Lords the Dukes of Nemours, and of Elbeuf, the Marshals of Vitry and Bassompiere, with other Lords of his Court, and sent for the Lady his Sister, who came thither accompanied with the Queen her mother, the Princesses of Conde and of County; the Duchess' of Guise, of Cheureuse, and Elbeuf, with many other great Ladies. Her Gown was of cloth of gold and silver, all powdered over with Flower-deluces of gold, and enriched with many Diamonds, and other precious stones, and her train was borne up by the young Lady of Bourbon.  
As she entered into the King's Chamber, with a Majesty correspondent to her birth, my Lords the Earls of Carlisle & Holland, Ambassadors for the King of Great Britain, came likewise also in, as richly clad as can possibly be expressed, giving unto the King the Contract of Marriage, which was read aloud by the Lord Chancellor, after the King had agreed unto the Covenants. This done, the Ambassadors withdrew themselves into the Duke of Cheureuse his Chamber, which was over the Kings, and having communicated the Contract unto him: He forthwith repaired unto his Majesty, accompanied with the aforesaid Ambassadors, and many other great Lords, apparelled in a Suit of Black, the Pains whereof were all garnished with Diamonds, and the very tags of his points were enriched with the like.  
Being come before his Majesty, he presented unto him his Procuration, and the power which the King of great Britain had given him, which was inserted at the end of the said Contract, which the King signed, and the Lady, both the Queens, my Lord the Duke of Cheureuse, and the Lords Ambassadors likewise. This done my Lord the Cardinal De la Roche Foucault made them sure, after the manner accustomed.  
Now as such an union as this could not be performed without great pomp, and infinite joy and contentment: So our Lady's Church was chosen for the Ceremonies of the accomplishment of the Marriage and was hung with rich tapestry and cloth of Gould and Silver Tissue.  
Then was there a fair and long Gallery raised, beginning at the entry of the Archbishop's palace, and reached even unto the Choir of the said Church: This gallery was under-propped with many pillars, which were covered at the top with Violet-colour Satin, embroidered with golden Flowre-deluces, and below with fair fine linen, trimmed with wax, through this same passed along all the Ceremonies of the Marriage as followeth.  
First, the hundred Suissers of the King's Guard, clothed in his Majesty's Lyvery, their Drumbe beating and their Ensign displayed. After them 12. Haulbois clothed in the like livery, which ravished the hearts of the hearers. Then eight Drumbes covered with the like, which were so lustily beaten up, that the most coward courages were animated with the noise thereof.  
Ten Trumpets also sounded so merrily that it rejoiced all the hearers. Then followed Monsieur de Rhodes, great Master of the Ceremonies, bravely apparelled, and well accompanied. After him marched my Lords the Knights of the Order of the Holy Ghost, all glistering with precious stones. Then came seven Heralds of Arms with their Coats of Red Crimson Velvet, powdered all over with golden Flower-deluces.  
Then followed them my Lords of Vitry and Bassompiere, Marshals of France: After them my Lord the Duke of Elbeuf. Then my Lord the Duke of Cheureuse, apparelled in a Suit of Blacke-Cloath, cut and lined with cloth of Gould, with a Cap also of cloth of Gould, and upon his head a jewel, which dazelled the eyes of the beholders, a Scarf spotted all over with Roses of Diamonds, with a short Cloak all embroidered with Gold, and powdered with precious stones.  
Then followed both my Lords the Ambassadors Extraordinary of the King of Great Britain, etc. clad in cloth of silver.  
Then came the King of France, in a garment all embroidered with Gold and Silver, holding the Lady his Sister in his right hand, who had a crown upon her head, and her Gown powdered all over with Flower-deluces of Gold: And Monsieur the King's Brother on the other side, who led her in his left hand, being very bravely accoutred.  
The Queen Mother followed next.  
The Queen herself, in a gown all embroidered with Gould, Silver, and precious stones. The Princesses of Conde and of County bearing up the long Train of the same. The young Lady of Montpensier. The Countess of Seisons. Madame De Guise. Madame De Chereuse. Madame De Elbeuf, with many Lords and Ladies, of whom I cannot now make rehearsal the number of them was so great.  
All this Royal and generous troop stayed at the entry of the great Portall of the said Church, before which was a place appointed to celebrate the Marriage in, and whereon was raised a Canopy of inestimable value, under which the King and Monsieur his Brother left the Lady their Sister, and consigned her into the hands of my Lord the Duke of Cheureuse, and then my Lord Cardinal de la Roche Foucault espoused the Lady with the ordinary ceremonies of the Church.  
From thence all the Orders above said marched into the Choir through a long Gallery which was squared out by a line, in the midst of the body of the Church all covered with tapestry, the richest that might be.  
In the midst of the said Choir were all ready placed on the one side upon eminent seats, my Lords the Precedents, having their Mortars of gold on their heads, and in their scarlet Robes lined with Ermines, and the Councillors of the Court of Parliament in the like Gowns.  
On the other side fate alone the Provost of the Merchants, in a long Robe of Crimson and violet velvet, being accompanied with the Sheriffs of the Town.  
In the Choir of the said Church, was there moreover another floor raised three steps high, upon which was another great Canopy, where the King, the Queens, and Monsieur the King's Brother were placed and conducted by the forenamed Duke of Cheureuse & the Ambassadors, who withdrew themselves into the Archbishop's Palace until the Service was ended, and then afterwards returned to the King and the Queens.  
Prayers being done, they returned all in the like order as before into the Archbishop's Palace, where the whole Court supped.  
During which, was heard such a noise and thundering of Cannon, as men would have judged that heaven and earth had joined together: In the like sort Bonfires, squibes, and such like were not spared throughout all the streets: and it may well be verified that France never saw so much rejoicing.  
And God I pray, who hath ever been propitious unto us, maintain our Country in her greatness, and grant our King a glorious triumph over his enemies, and a large extent of his Dominions.   

The Order of the Royal Feast.  
THe Suppper was kept in the Archbishop's great Hall, and the Table reached from the one end thereof unto the other,  
The King sat in the midst of the Table, served by my Lord the great Prior, who represented the great Master's person, before him there marched a number of Drums, Trumpets and Clairons, accompanied with Monsieur de Beaumond, great Steward of the King's House, and thirty two others Stewards of his Majesty's , with their staffs in their hands.  
The meat was carried by my Lords the Princes, Dukes, Peers, and Marshals of France, followed by the Gentlemen of the Court and their servants.  
Monsieur de Joinuille served as great Pantler, Monsieur d' Elboeuf as Cupbearer, and my Lord the Earl of Harcourt as Carver.  
The Queen Mother sat on the right hand of the King, served by my Lords the Dukes of Belgarde, d'Vzais, and Luxembourg.  
The Queen herself on the right hand of the Queen Mother, served by my Lords the Dukes d' Alvin, Brissac, and de Chaune.  
The Queen of great Britain sat on the King's left hand, served by the Marshal de Vitry as great Pantler, the Marshal d' Aubeterre as Cup bearer, and my Lord of Bassompierre as Carver.  
My Lord the Duke of Cheurouse sat next the Queen of great Britain, served by the Lord of Rochefort.  
The extraordinary Ambassadous of great Britain sat next unto the afore said Duke of Cheureuse.  
My Lord the King's Brother sat near unto the Queen, and next them all the Princes, served in most magnificent and Royal manner.   

The King's Declaration, containing a Prohibition unto all his Subjects, to have any Traffic or Commerce with the Kingdom of Spain, Published in the Parliament the 12. of May.  
LEWIS by the grace of God King of France and of Navarre, To all unto whom these present Letters shall come greeting. Upon the complaints which have been made unto us by many of our Subjects traffiquing into Spain, of a Decree made the 2. of this month by our most dear & wellbe-loved Brother, and Brother in law, the Catholic King, unto his Officers, to seize upon and stay in all his Ports and Havens, the Ships, Goods, and Merchandise of the French (our Subjects:) under pretext of Reprisals of some sums of money, which Our most dear and well-beloved Cousin, the Duke of Guise, our Governor and Lieutenant General in Provence, did make stay of certain Barks, not far from Marseilles, as belonging unto some Genua Merchants: as also because they haunted the desert Havens of our said Country of Provence, to the prejudice of our Ordinances & Provisions made by Our Court of Parliament of Aix: The said King pretending that some part of the said money did appertain unto his Subjects (which is a thing not yet verified) and part thereof unto the said Genoese. NOW therefore, because it is a matter of great importance for our Subjects good, to prevent them from receiving any further loss or hindrance of such their seizure and detention of their Ships and Goods as is ordained in Spain, wherein there can be no better order taken, than a general interdiction of Commerce in those places, where the Merchants Our Subjects can no longer be at their liberty.

WHEREFORE We charge and command all Our loving and loyal Officers in Our Courts of Parliament, that they cause these Our present Letters to be read, published and Registered, and the contents thereof to be kept and executed each one apart, and Our general Procurors or their Substitutes, to make for the due execution of the same, all diligent & necessary pursuit and inquiry.

Le Triomphe glorieux & l'ordre des Ceremonies obseruees au mariage du Roy de la Grand' Bretagne, & de Madame soeur du Roy. Ensemble l'ordre tenu aux fiançailles faictes au Chasteau du Lowre, en la Chambre de sa Majesté.  
EN fin le ciel propice a la France, a voulu ce qu'elle respire, il y a si long temps. Les nuages qui sembloient vouloir obscurcir son esclat, & qui avoient comme conspire de faire mourir le fruict en sa fleur, sont maintenant dissipez, & cette mawaise influence est aneantie a ce coup, Dicu a permis par une volonte secrete, que les deux plus puissantes Couronnes de la Chrestiente soient vnies ensemble, par le plus celebre mariage qui se soit iamais veu dedans l'Vniuers. C'est donc auiourd'huy que tant de felicite, de gloire, & de bon-heur ne promettent pas moins a nostre grand Roy, inuincible LOVYS LE IVSTE, que l'Empire de tout le monde. Quel contentement a la France, & quel profit a la grand ' Bretagne, de se voir vnies si inseparablement, par un noeud plus indissoluble que le gordien, & par une amitie mieux cimentee que les murs Babiloniens fondez par Semiramis? Il n'y a point d'ennemis assez forts pour esbranler iamais deux Royaumes si florissans, qui puisent leur grandeur du ciel, & borner leur puissance de toute la terre. Resiovissons nous donc, bons François, a ceste heure que les adversaires de l'Estat tremblant de peur & de crainte, ont leur ame ●migeed une il belle alliance. Mais pour en laisser la memoire eternelle, & la donner est depost a la posterite. je veux descrire icy le plus succintement qu'il me sera possible, les magnificences, les triomphes, & l'ordre veritable de cet heureux mariage.

L'on esleua enuiron de huict pieds de terre, une belle & longue gallerie, qui prenoit son commencement des l'entree de la maison Archi-Episcopale, & se venoit rendre a l'entree du Coeur de ladite Eglise.

Les feus de ioye & d'artifices se firent par toutes les reus, & l'on peut dire avec verite, que iamais la France n'cust plus de resiouyssances.
