LONDON'S Triumphant Holiday.  
Being a brief Relation, of the chiefest memorable Proceed that hath attended his Majesty since his Troubles.  
TRiumphs hath ever been allowed of, and commendable by all Nations under the Sun, not only of Heathens, but Christians too; so far forth as we do not, in adoring the Creature, forget the Creator, as the Herodians did. Solomon saith, there is a time for all things, a time to laugh as well as to weep, a time of joy as well as sorrow. But let our rejoicing be in the Lord, who always is working for the best for them that fear him. This great work, or we may, miraculous wonder, May make the very Atheists of these Times see, there is a God that governs, that can turn and overturn in a moment; and in a month bring in a Reformation without blood, which the gods of our own inventions hath been a Reforming (Deforming we may say) these twenty years, shedding Royal and Innocent Blood to mix with their untempered mortar, and with the bones of innocent Martyrs, build the walls of their confused Babel; and wasted this Nation's Treasure, to set up a bloody Traitor to Rule over it; who, whilst he was living, (I am afraid) some loved and served him more than God, or else they would not have so Deified him on the earth so long after his death; but he was kept so long, or, as I may say, the Popet of him, for they took twopences a piece in Westminster to see him, where he lay there in his Hospital Robes, for it was bestowed on him by the forced alms of the Country, and they thought to have had a gathering for it; for the money was borrowed for the present of some of his voluntary or forced friends, which, I believe, they are all the mourners that ever was for him: I believe, he did degenerate so from Nature, that his own wife or children could scarce drop a tear for him; if they did, it was more for fear of losing their Estates or Honour, more than him. But what should I relate more of him, it asks whole volumes to declare his wickedness. I shall, with God's leave, here relate to you most of the chiefest passages, that hath happened this last memorable month of May, in relation to his Majesty, our most gracious Sovereign, CHARLES the Second, King of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, whom God hath most wonderfully brought into his own Birthright, which hath been detained from him by bloody Mechanic Rebels.  
The first day of this month of May, 1660. he was Voted by both Houses of Parliament right Heir to the three Kingdoms, it being Tuesday, a remarkable day in this work. The eighth day following, being Tuesday, he was proclaimed with great joy and triumph in London, and the like performed in most parts in England, to the utmost of their powers, So he was proclaimed, and the Commissioners was with his Majesty in Holland by the next Tuesday, being the fifteenth day, and the Wednesday after, being the 23d. day, his Majesty set sail for England, and Tuseday following, being the 29th. day, and his Birthday, he was entertained in London, with great triumph and joy, which I shall for the more satisfaction of all you that are his faithful Subjects, give you a brief and true acount of most of the Royalest entertainment he received since his landing.  
Friday the 25th. his Majesty Landed at Dover, where his Excellency General Monk fell on his knees to his Majesty, which the King would not suffer, but took him up, embracing him more like a Father then a Subject; his Majesty walking with him towards his Coach, where the Mayor and Aldermen, and Mr. Reding met him; and presents him with a very fair Bible, clasped with gold very Rich; his Majesty, and the two Dukes; and the Duke of Buckingham, rod in the Coach, till within two or three miles of Canterbury, and then the King rid with the two Dukes, the Duke of York on his right hand, and the Duke of Gloucester on the left, with the General, and the Duke of Buckingham, and divers others of the Nobility being come to Canterbury, he was presented by the Recorder, in behalf of the City, with a very gallant Speech, and a gold Tankard, as a Token of their loyalty, the Mayor and Aldermen being present; and the City did express abundance of joy. The King staying there till Monday morning, where the King honoured the General with that high honour of Knight of the Garter, the King putting the George about his neck, and the two Dukes put on the Garter; none ever so highly honoured in the solemnisement of that Order before, as I ever heard of; and confirms him General of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and Master of the Horse, and one of his Prive Council. Divers others he knighted, as Alderman Robinson, as ever a faithful Royalist all these times in London, and Major General Massey, who when he was Governor of Gloucester for the Parliament, none of the King's party can say, but he was a gallant Enemy, and had all the Virtues of a Noble Soldier; he was valiant, faithful, and merciful, paralleled by few of that side, in those times of his Command; and since hath been a faithful Subject, and sufferer for his King; an example for all faithful Subjects to imitate, to see the Proverb fulfilled, after suffering comes ease; many more received honour from his Majesty, and I make no doubt, but they deserved it, or else should not have received it. But these two I know, and I love to speak no more than I know. But to go forward to his Majesty's march: on Monday, being the 28th day, he set forward betimes to Rochester, where he came about four of the clock in the afternone, where he honoured Colonel Gibbons his house, he made that his Court that night, and the two Dukes with him; after he had a little refreshed himself, he went to Chattam, to see the Ship called the Royal Sovereign, where he was entertained by Mr. Pett, with a Banquet: so coming back to Rochester, the next morning, was presented to him a very rich and weighty Basin, and Ewer silver and gilt. About five of the clock he set forwards, the Roads lined with the Militia Forces of Kent, and divers Maids throwing the ways with flowers and herbs, and the Towns hanging out white sheets. At Dartford Heath a Declaration was presented to his Majesty for the Officers of the General's Army, declaring their joy and their faithfulness to his Majesty. At Black-heath there was a general Rendezvous, where all the Army and all others were drawn up in order, where his Majesty expressed himself, to the great content of all the Army. There was many bonfires there, but one great one at Black-heath, where the Maidens had got the State's Arms in the Country to burn, and dancing round about the fire in white, with Music and a Morisedance, when his Majesty came by, and with a loud voice through all their Company, cried out, God save the King; which made his Majesty smile, a thing seldom seen, he always being solid, having a majestic careful countenance. So this Royal Army marched to St. George's Fields, where the Lord Mayor and Aldermen attended to receive him, and presented the Sword to him upon his knees, which his Majesty took and returned again. A Tent was set up, and a Banquet of Sweetmeats provided; his Majesty taking a very small Refreshment, marched on towards Whithall, in this manner as followeth. The Militia Forces made a guard on both sides, from Southwork to the Bridge, all the streets strewed, and the windows hung with Tapestry and Cloth, according to their ability, as rich as they could get, and many Garlands hung in the streets, with the best Flowers; and from London-bridge to Temple-bar, on the one side was the Train-bands, and on the other side the Companies of every Hall in their Liveries; railed all the way, and hung with several Colours, according to the Companies Colours of Cloth. The Conduits running with wine. All the rich Streamers on one side of the way, with the Arms of the Companies, and the windows most richly hung with Silk of rich colours, and Tapestry, and Cloth of Aras. This was the manner of the march, first came Major General Brown, leading 300. stately Gallants, all in Cloth of Silver Doublets, stoutly horsed and richly acouterd. Then came 200. in Velvet Coats, led by my Lord Mainard; then another Troop, consisting of near 300. in Bust-coats, silver laced sleeves, and green Scarves, these led by that loyal and faithful Subject Alderman Robinson; then another Troop of about 200. with Red and Silver, very richly mounted, led by my Lord Mordant; after this a Troop Green, eight Footmen, six Trumpets, their Colours Pinck and Silver, the Footmen Green and Silver, consisting of about 150. another consisting of 250. Grace and Blue Liveries; 30. Footmen, silk and silver lace, the Colours Sky and Silver; led as I was told, by my Lord of Oxford; then 300. led by my Lord of Cleveland, most Noble Men, Knights, and Esquires, the Colours Blew fringed with Gold; then 100 more Black fringed with Gold. Then came several very rich Troops, commanded by Viscount Harford, consisting of about 400. Several other commanded by Knights: the Body that came before his Majesty, of Nobility and Gentry, with the Citizens, and their servants, well mounted behind in good order, and well acouterd in habit, gentlemen's Fellows I believe, consisting of about 3000. and upwards, with Trumpets sounding, but their Music was drowned with the Shouts and Voice of the People for joy; yet they were not satisfied with this most rare Show in the bravery, wished them passed, their desires all longing to see him, whom they had so long looked for, his Majesty: but after this rich Show of the Country Gallantry, now comes the city's Pomp, in a most stately civil manner. Fist, came a Noise of Trumpets, two with the King's Arms in their Coats, and a Kettledrum; then the Shrief's men about fourscore, in new red Cloaks with silver lace; after them about 400. Citizens of several Companies, black Velvet Coats, with gold Chains about their necks; some with rich Pearl Chains, of great value; every one his Page with his Livery, most richly mounted; after these came a part of the true Mourners of Zion, being Ministers that hath been true Subjects and sufferers, Doctor Wild, Doctor Warmstree, and about ten more, such as had endured to the end; no time-servers, nor never changed their Gowns for Cloaks, these rid in heart (I believe) rejoicing in the Lord, to see the day of their Redemption here, from those that would have stopped their mouths, if the Lord had not frustrated their designs; and those Prayers that hath been counted Popery by some, I believe the Lord hath heard such Men as these, that hath been termed Baal Priests, by the sons of Belial, hath proved as Moseses to stand in the gap, and by Prayer hath stopped God's judgements, which we fully have deserved for our Rebellion, Sacrilege, and Murder; after these came his majesty's Lifeguard, with Trumpet; and a Kettledrum, commanded by my Lord Gerard, led in Divisions by Sr. Gilber Gerard, Colonel Pragues, and two Cornish Gentlemen, Sir Chichester Wreay, and Major Rosecaron; after them the City Marshal, his Footmen in green, trimmed with Crimson and White; then the City Waits; then the two Shriefs, and all the Aldermen in their Scarlet Gowns, their Footmen laced with silk and gold; then came the Heralds, and two rich Maces, in rich Coats, and the chief Nobility and Privy Council, all riding brave; before his Majesty rid the Lord Mayor, bearing the Sword; the Lord General, and the Duke of Buckingham, all bareheaded; Then you might behold the three Pearls, of this Nation, his Majesty, and the two Dukes, the Duke of York on his right hand, and the Duke of Gloucester on the left. Three Pearls they may be rightly styled, and I hope they will prove of inestimable value to these Nations; three such Princes, no Kingdom besides ours can parallel in the World for Brothers: His Majesty endued with such Virtues, as the worst of his enemies cannot say, but they are wonderful to behold, in a Prince that hath been so much constrained to see the susperstitious and follies of many strange Nations, and hath never been led away by them, being much endued with piety and sobriety, mercy and humility; as this day of Triumph you could have beheld no outward glory in habit, he riding in a plain Sasnit suit, his head only adorned with certain Falds or Plumes of red and white Feather in his hat, the Duke of York with red and yellow, the Duke of Gloucester was sprinkled with several Colours, many of the Noble men's servants, were in richer habit than these three Princes, but I believe they were counted more beautiful in the eyes of the people, than all that passed before, they being so ravished with joy, some Ladies drapt their fans and hancerchiefs out of the windows, their sense of seeing being so much filled, it bereavest them of all other senses for the present, which made the King smile; he seeing a fan drop out of a Lady's hand in Paul's Churchyard, as she was shaking it about. In the Strand a many Ladies had got Rapiers in their hands, and flourished them out of the windows, as meaning that now they would fight for him rather than lose him now they had him. Many other passages which I saw not nor heard not, which I believe did revive his Majesty's heart, to see his Subject's joy. Also after his Majesty was passed, came my Lord of Northampton, with a gallant Party of Horse, of all Gentry, a bout 300. or more, all richly clad and mounted; after them came three Regiments of the General's Horse, all armed cap a pe, and though they were not richly acoutered, yet 'twas as gallant a sight to see for a Soldier as the other, and a better sight in service.  
That silver Van, flanked with this Iron Rear,  
Three Princes leads, no Nation we need fear:  
Renowned George, thy Fame on earth will never die,  
For under God, thou gavest this Kingdom's liberty.  
His Majesty coming to Temple-bar, all along to Whitehall the Militia Forces guarded on both sides, and Sr. john Stowell, that great sufferer for his Majesty met him, with divers Officers of the King's Army, being a gallant Party. So the King coming to Whitehall, was entertained by the House of Lords and Commons, both presented him with Speeches by the Speakers, declaring their joy for his so happy arrival, in power and safety, to the three Kingdoms great comfort, which now they feared not will quickly end in peace and prosperity, to these almost-ruined Nations, for want of his presence. The day being ended, for it was seven of the cloch ere his Majesty came to Whitehall; when he was safe, the Pieces went off small and great, from the Tower, and all along the City, and not a Piece was fired or to be fired before night. Such Bonfires we made, there was never the like in England; one at the Bankside six or seven stories high, and in Westminster, was the State's Arms and the Effigies of Crumwell hung up for all to behold, with torches, and at last burnt in the fire, with great hollowing and houping, for joy they were rid of this idol, that England had so much worshipped.  
I shall now give you a short but true acount, of the Sufferings of this Prince before he came to his Kingdom. At his Father's death, he was at his Sister's Court the Princess of Orange, whereas the news came unexpected, it came the harder; for he thought to have heard a fair end of the Treaty, and his Father settled: He studied then which way to gain his Birthright; many ways he and his friends tried, but all came to no effect; but the news still that filled his sorrowful ears, was just so as it came to Io●e, one after another; the murdering and destroying of his Loyal Subjects the Scots, when they were treating with him to make him King, they thought to disable him of his best friends, that they might force him to what they pleased to have. I leave the World to judge of their innocency, as they pretend from the first beginning of these times: I pray God make their children more Loyal than the fathers, and that I hope they can take no exceptions at; pray God the selling of the King, and the murdering of Montrose, be not laid to the charge of the souls of the chief actors of it: indeed they did what they could, some of them to settle him, and did crown him, but I believe, had it not been self-ends, God would have blest their designs the better at Worcester, where his Majesty was miraculously delivered; where his horse was twice shot under him, and could scarce be invited to leave the Field, when 'twas so near lost, the Highlanders fight it out very nobly, but the Scotch Horse but cowardly; his Majesty got away to a house, had his hair cut off with a knife by my Lord Wilmot, then takes him to a Wood near Wolverhampton, and in a hollow Oak, and stayed there three days; afterwards brought to Mistress Lanes, by my Lord Wilmot, and by her as her Servingman, was conveyed to Bristol, no body but Mr. Lasted, her Father in Law knew him, where he was fain to wind up the jack, he telling the maid he was a Naylour's son, which caused his Majesty to smile, the wench gave him such course compliments, which he was very glad to take: afterwards describd by a Butler, but yet a faithful servant to him, and through many difficulties and dangers, at last got over sea to France, where he declares his sad misfortune, they bewailing of him, yet joyful he had scaped himself, yet this joy did not long continue in the Court of France; but this bloody Oliver never left, till he had hunted him thence, and all the Family, by making a Peace with France, Mazerein the Cardinal being this Traitor's friend, all the time no great honour he'll gain by it now, but let him give more testimony, he must leave France; then to Holland, to his sister, and stayed a while there; then to Germany, where the Lord still raised Princes to his friends, and at last, that ever to be loved by this Nation, and that freely, the King of Spain nobly entertains him, and the Duke of York, who had been a great enemy to him when he served the King of France, which will be for the shame of France, and honour of Spain for ever: there this wicked Oliver left not, but like the Devil, never left any means un-attempted to destroy him, as than he had employed one Captain Maning, who was near the King, who discovered all things that was done there to his Master here; thus the devil, and man, did work to destroy him and this Nation; but he had too honourable a death, for it so inflamed his Majesty's true servants, to hear of such a false Traitor amongst them, that he was shot by one of them before he entered the Prison: many more most strange and wonderful trials of patience was there in his travels and sorrowful pilgrimages, before he attained to that happy Restoration, which God hath now blest him and us with; whom God still preserve, whom I hope God will by his providence, as he hath done hitherto, answer all the prayers of him and his friends, for him as remarkable. His Father was murdered on the 30. of january, it falling on a Tuseday, and ever since he hath kept Tuseday as a fast, in memory thereof; besides, it hath been known, many private Devotions, which God hath answered: it was on a Tuseday he was voted by the two Houses of Parliament, King, and proclaimed King on a Tuseday, and came to Whitehall on a Tuseday; therefore it may encourage all Christians to prayer, for by fervent prayer God answers many times by the same means, and the same time; and God you see hath answered his prayers: but how many more Fasts and prayers hath here been set up, and Thanksgivings, for shedding of blood, but what can there be expected from bloodthirsty and cruel men but hypocrisy, which their best Actions was no other.  
The brighter still the Sun doth shine,  
Upon a dunghill with her beams divin,  
The more base scents and stinking vapours rise:  
I'll leave't to you the verse to paralyse.  
Blessed art thou O Land, when thy King is the Son of Nobles, Eccles. 10.17. a lesson very fit and observal for these times; it was taught by him whom none can deny, but he was the wealthiest and the wisest Prince and Preacher that ever was before Christ, or since Christ; and none but Christ himself, who was both King, Priest, and Prophet, had that powerful operation, and knowledge as he had; and indeed it must needs be for his wisdom from above, read but Ecclesiastes and his Proverbs, and you shall see and confess, that they must needs come from the Spirit of God though from his mouth delivered, and we shall find all true in them; and for this one place which I have quoted by woeful experience, this our Land can witness for truth, for since this Land hath been governed by them, who by other actions could not, etc. did not show that ever they were the sons of Gentry, much less of Nobility; and these have been the Heads and Governors of our poor distressed, and almost ruined Kingdoms these many years, who maintained their Prerogatives by perjury, oppression, sacrilege, and murder; who did so far deoperate from being nursing Fathers, and nursing Mothers of God's Church and people, who hath promised that Kings and Queens shall be, Isa. 49.23. they have not only murdered their Father, that religious pious Prince, of blessed memory CHARLES the first, but they have as much as in them lay, like Vipers, eat out the Bowels of their Mother the Church, and not satisfied with that, but were about to sacrifice her to the Idols of their own Inventions, and so to destroy her Root and Branch. Not being contented with what they had got, Kings, Queens, Bishops, Deans, and Chapters Lands, but did not stick to say openly, if they prevailed, the Church and Priest too should suffer, as in derision they call them, which they know not that they deride Christ himself in that title, nay these that cry up so for jesus Christ, hated the office and dignity of him, who takes the title of King, Priest, and Prophet; and truly I believe, that they have been so much against Papists in their mouths, terming these decent Ordinances of God, that was maintained in the Church, to be Popery, it will be proved, and is partly known, and found by some, that jesuites have been the chief ringleaders of them; for those that have been seduced by them, I heartily desire of God that he would make them see the errors of their ways, by his wonderful works of Providence, which he hath already done in this unheard of Reformation, which he hath borough in with his Word, and not with the Sword, by the power of his Spirit, and not by the arm of flesh, by turning the hearts of Subjects to their Sovereign, to submit to him, and not to resist him. God is a God of peace, scatter thou the people that delight in war, saith David, Psal. 68 he was a man after Gods own heart, and surely he would not prary so, but that he knew God did not delight in those that thirsted after blood; if David was starteled and touched in his heart, for cutting off the lap of Saul's garment, who sought his life, and yet he was anointed King too, saying, the Lord keep me from doing that thing unto my Master, the Lords Anointed to lay my hand upon him, 1 Sam. chap. 23. nor you never read: that he ever suffered his soldiers either to do him or his servants wrong, but to fly and defend themselves. O then, with what impudence could they justify that most horrid unheard of barbarism Murder, that was committed upon the person of the late King, whose hearts never struck them for cutting off his head, a deed that they can show no precedent for since the Creation of the World, neither by the Laws of God nor the Laws of any Land; which gilt they would have laid upon the whole Nation, saying, they were chosen by them; but the Lord that knows the hearts of all men, knows it was odious in the eyes of most of the Nation, as it is seen at this day; for upon the Prayers and Cries of his Church and People, hath prevailed, and now he is making inquisition for the innocent blood of that Royal Martyr, and the rest of his layall Subjects, that hath suffered for him. Where can they fly now from the face of an angry God; there is no way for them, but to submit themselves to the mercy of God and the King, for there is no escaping for them, they are so odious in the eyes of all, that their very intimate Friends will not hid them, no, nor will take pity on them; no Land-man will secure them, no Seaman will convey them over Sea; if they do, no Nation will trust them, for they that have been so unnatural to their own Country, and such Rebels and Traitors to their own Prince, to murder him; the greatest Tyrant in the World will hate them, and if they had acted it for him, he would say as Richard the third said to Banester, when he betrayed his Master, he loved the Treason, but he hated the Traitor; and if any Prince suffer them to pass through their Country, they must take it as a greater favour than they deserve. But stay, my Subject tells me I am about the blessedness of a Land, whose King is the Son of Nobles. O happy Land have we, whose King is the Son of a Noble, Pious, and Religious Prince, as ever swayed the Sceptre since the Conquest, and this our most dread Sovereign CHARLES the second, whom God grant long to reign over us.  
I believe the worst of his Enemies that ever heard him and saw him in all his banishment, in the worst of times all say, but he deserves the love both of God and Man, which the Lord hath shown by his most wonderful Restoration to his Crown and Dignity, which all his loyal Subjects did believe would be, as I believe those that knows me, hath heard me say as much in the worst of times, yet to be wrought so peaceably, so powerfully, and so suddenly, 'tis more than ever could be imagined, that we must all say with the Apostle, St. Paul in the 11. of the Romans, vers. 33. O the deepness and the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God, how unsearchable are his judgements, and his ways past finding out: but Solomon saith, Proverbs 16.7. When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh his very enemies to be at peace with him; as I desire the worst of his enemies to consider on, (if the Lord hath not yet reconciled their hearts to him), this one place of Scripture, comparing it with the actions and transactions of our times, we must confess that he is our David of God, and that his ways hath pleased him; for he hath made us all which were his enemies, to be at peace with him. I hope some may perhaps say, that he had those here that never was enemies to him; I am afraid, if they seriously look into their own consciences, they shall find, their sins with the rest, filled up the Measure, that made God pour out his wrath upon us, and so took away so good a Prince from us, which we were not worthy of: and I shall desire all, and especially those that were always faithful to his Father and him, and never none of times-changelings, that now the Lord hath done so mercifully for us, that we may walk answerable to that merry in our conversion from all manner of wickedness, that his Party hath been branded with, and especially these two sins, which they have been most addicted to, Oaths and Drunkenness; I believe that many have sworn and drunk healths to him, that never either prayed or fought for him; and let me tell them, whosoever they be, I know the King's Majesty will be so far from owning them to be his Friends, that he will rank them with the worst of his Enemies. If we will be counted the King's Party, or Caveliers, as they have called us, and that was the worst they could call us, let us strive to imitate him in all his Virtues, which I believe and am assured, by the just and true Reports, of those that have known him, and seen most of his actions since the time of his Banishment; that they say, and declare, he is endued with all Virtues fit for a Prince, a cherisher of Virtue and a hater of Vics; and for his mercy, let those that were the worst of his Enemies declare it; for I know no other will be looked for from me but to commend him, who under God I desire always may command me. I will be bref with you, Frst, You that did reckon yourselves his friends, send up to Heaven as many prayers for him as you have drunk his healths on Earth to him: and in the next, Do as you would be done by, and remember that Petition in the Lord's Prayer, Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us; and seek not revenge, but remember, vengeance is mine and I will repay, saith the Lord: and as you have professed yourselves Christians, and God hath given you that faith and patience, to hold it out to the end, and now hath given you your desire, let the World see, that as we hated the Hypocrisy and Tyranny, of our worse than Egyptian Taskmasters, so we hate the thoughts of them who always said, oft we had had the best of it, how well we should abide, and as they had a faith without works, let us show our faith by our works, and let our fruits of the Spirit be Scripture proof with love joy and peace as well as long-suffering; which when we have performed that, let us perform the rest, or else we shall show ourselves and prove ourselves to be fathers of the false spirits of these times, or those false lights which hath run up and down this Land, like those lights that are seen in the night, that leads poor Travellers out of the way, till it brings them in one filthy quagmire or other, and then it leaves them; therefore as God hath kept us hitherto from following those false lights: Let our lights so shine before men, that they seeing our good works may glorify our Father which is in Heaven: And let us walk worthy of this his great mercy, of restoring us our lawful King, and our Councillors as at the beginning; and I hope the Lord hath a blessing for this Land, in that he hath given us a King, the son of a King to rule over us, whom God preserve with a long, prosperous, and peaceable reign, and bless all his Councils from the highest to the lowest, with wisdom and courage, like Iethroes Magistrates, fearing God, dealing truly, hating covetousness: so ending with that Text, in the 24. of the Proverbs the 21, and 22. verses, My son fear God and the King, and meddle not with them that are given to change; for their calamity shall rise suddenly, and who knoweth the ruin of them both?  
Thus I have showed you the truth as much as in me lieth, of his Majesty's happy arrival and entertainment into London, which I am not able to express, nor is not to be set forth with pen in a small Volume; for I believe never was any Prince in the World entertained with more joy and Triumph than he was, all the way from Dover to Whitehall, if the inward Love of their hearts were agreeable to their expressions and ontward habit, I believe the World could not parallel more loyal Subjects. To them that were not so, I leave them to consider the Motto of the Garter, Evil to them that evil thinks.  
Convert O Lord, or else confound all those,  
That are thine, the King and Charls' foes.  
Exsurgat Deus, dissipentur inimici.
