Iter Carolinum, BEING A Succinct RELATION OF The Necessitated Marches, Retreats, and Sufferings Of His MAJESTY CHARLES the I. From January 10. 1641. till the time of His Death 1648. Collected by a daily Attendant upon his Sacred Majesty during all the said time. LONDON, Printed by W. Godbid over against the Anchor Inn in Little Britain. 1660. To the Loyal Reader. I Do here present thee with a compendious collection of thy late Sovereign's afflictions, which are many and unparallelled, in so much that I may truly say, (though therein contradictory to the wise man, who saith, There is nothing new under the Sun) that there was no such deed done or seen from the beginning of the world until this day. Look not hereon, I conjure thee; unless with tears, nay indeed how canst thou? to see the King driven from place to place, affronted, neglected, despised, hungering, and thirsting, reviled, persecuted and defamed. So that he might justly take up that of the Apostle, 1 Cor. 4.9, 10. etc. And indeed hinc fons ille lacrymarum; From this Fountain came all our future sorrows: This, this, I say, was the cause of our succeeding miseries, our inestimable loss and almost inexpiable ruin; but propitiatur Deus, so infinite is God in his mercy that he not only can but will pardon, though his justice severely denounceth this Sentence ●: The soul that sins shall die. But our present time speaks better things. We have the pool of Bethesda, whereat many have lain groaning even despairing for help, and Now God hath sent his Angel and moved the water, and the whole Nation by stepping in, are healed of the disease they too too long laboured under: O terque quaterque beatus! Thrice happy he whose Loyal actings by Heaven have crowned been with such a blessed success, that after times shall call him and confess he was his Country's Honour, and his Prince's Shield. Pardon I pray, good Reader, this zealous digression, and in the short ensuing Tractate please to take notice that it gins at the 10. of Jan. 1641. when his Majesty was forced by Tumults from Whitehall, and is continued till his death after the manner of a Diary, pointing out his travel from place to place, with their distances from each other; his abode therein & entertainment, succinctly withal, yet mystically relating the most remarkable passages and battles occurring in that time. I need say no more, but let it speak for its self; I suppose there are many who will remember much thereof; I know the Author my Father and Self were Testes oculati, speaking only what we had sorrowfully seen and known. Oh that Posterity may never know the like! but for ever rest satisfied in their undoubted Sovereign, that his Generation may never fail to sway the Sceptre in these Kingdoms, while the Sun and Moon endureth: Which is the cordial prayer of his Majesty's most faithful Subject, THOMAS MANLEY.

Monday the 3 day of November, Anno Dom. 1645. His Majesty about a 11 a clock at night, went out of Newark, marched all that night, all the next day being Tuesday at 12 a clock that night, halted at Codsbury, Wednesday about 10 a clock in the morning came to Banbury, made an halt and dined there at the castle, and afterward the same Wednesday the 5 of November about 5 a clock in the Evening came to Oxford to supper, and continued there during pleasure iv xc His Majesty went from Oxford the 27 of April 1646. towards Newark to the Scottish Leaguer there, but in regard of the privateness of his going away, Oxford being at that time beleaguered by Sir Thomas Fairfax his Army, and the fewness of his attendants, being at the most but two, we have no certainty where he stayed by the way, but shortly after he appeared in the Scots Army, who pretended to protect him from his English Rebbels and for the better securing his Majesty's Person from danger as was pretended they stayed not long after at Newarke, but by easy marches removed with his Majesty's Person from Newarke to Newcastle, where the solemn Argument between his said Majesty and Master Henderson happened concerning Episcopasie, and Church Government, to his Majesty's everlasting Honour. But such was the horrid perfidy of those Treacherous Scots, that in stead of the expected safety of his Majesty's Person, Judas like for money, (though a far greater sum) sold and delivered their Sovereign LORD and KING, into the hands of his English Rebels, who by this means had under God a power to resettle the Kingdom's Peace: But they were blinded to their own destruction; and having taken the Lords Anointed in their pits, they now used him as they listed, carried him whither they pleased, and indeed treated him no otherwise then as their Prisoner, for with a strong Guard of Horse and Foot in the month of February 1646. the depth of Winter, they begin to remove him from Newcastle in manner following: His Majesty's Gests from Newcastle to Holdenby in February 1646.

Long had not his Sacred Majesty continued there, but he was by a part of the Army under one Joyce, violently taken from thence, and brought to his Honour of Hampton Court; where for a while he seemed to begin to reassunie his Pristine Majesty, being admitted to see and to be seen; but Cromwell fearing the frequency of so great resort might spoil his Traitorous designs with much Serpentine craft and devilish subtlety, persuaded and insinuated into his Majesty's heart doubts and suspicions of mischief intended against him; the only way for preventing whereof, he affirmed to be the withdrawing his Person from thence, to a place of more strength and security, and to that purpose nominated the Isle of Wight, to which place his Majesty led by the Innocency of his spotless Conscience, was decoyed, and at his arrival found himself overreached; for he was immediately secured by Colonel Hammond, who then was Governor in the said Island, and kept a long time a prisoner there in the Castle of Carisbrook; until afterwards, upon the Petitions of most Counties of England, a personal Treaty was appointed to be held in the said Isle at Newport, for which end Commissioners were sent thither with Instructions, and the Treaty begun, and prosecuted with so good effect, that his Majesty's Concessions at that time were voted by the Parliament a sufficient ground to proceed on for the settlement of the Peace of of the Kingdom. But here again, his Majesty is violently and traitorously seized by the Army then under Fairfax his command; by whom December the first, 1648. He was brought to Hurst Castle in Hampshire, and there kept as a prisoner, till the 21. of the same month, when he was brought to Winchester, thence the 23. to Windsor, where for little time he stayed, attended by strong Guards of soldiers, till about the 9 of January following; when they removed him towards London, and brought him to his own House at Saint James', and consequently to perfidious London, (Oh infortunate Monarch!) where not long after with hellish effrontery even in despite of Heaven, at noon Day before His own House Whitehall, in the open street with armed multitudes of soldiers, they Sacrilegiously murdered that Blessed though unfortunate Prince) CHARLES the First; There being actually guilty of that horrid murder, by giving Sentence, and signing the Warrant for his beheading.
