From the Guildhall they marched in an orderly Train on foot, only the Lord Major leading them in his Coach to the Court at Whitehall, and were instantly received into the Banquetting-Housé. His Majesty at their coming being in debate of some inportant affairs at the Council, was pleased in much favour to send a Person of quality, and after him several other Gentlemen one after another, to acquaint them with that occasion, and to bespeak their attendance till the same would permit his absence from the Council: Notwithstanding, it pleased his Majesty after a little while to spare himself from those Affairs at the Council; and with great show of Princely favour and regard to receive the Papers of Address into his own hand, being presented by the Lord Major after he had delivered himself in this affectionate Speech.  
THE Lord Major's Speech.  
May it please your Majesty.  
I came accompanied with these Your Officers who command all Your London Forces both Horse and Foot: 
☞ Pointing at them severally.  Here stand those that command Your Horse, these Your Trained Bands, The other, Your Auxiliaries; when Your Majesty hath taken aright view of them, You will see Loyalty linked in an unchangeable Chain; these are they who will not swerve from what they swear, that's fealty without falsity, and it were a shame not to do so; seeing we sow in peace and reap the plenty which springs from so excellent a Governor, so good a Government: if You please to see our hearts, these lines lead to them, and speak for them, which I here humbly present unto Your Sacred Majesty in their names and under their hands, Beseeching Your Majesty to accept them as a dutiful return of those many signal favours vouchsafed by Your Majesty to Your native City and Loyal Citizens.  
Whereunto his Majesty replied, That he had stolen a time from very important Affairs, on which He was in debate with his Council, to come to them; and gave a most gracious answer, declaring His good esteem of them; His kind resentment of their Address; His assured confidence in their faithfulness; His readiness and desire to advance the welfare of the City; and many other expressions full of Princely goodness and affection.  
And after all this, was further pleased that night to send a worthy Gentleman, Clerk of the Council, to the Lord Major, to give notice that His Majesty intended the nextday to send down some Lords of his Council to make a more ample signification of his Majesty's gracious acceptance of the Address, and to require a meeting of the Commanders and Officers for that purpose: But their Lordship being prevented by the Lords Commissioners sitting for claims at the Coronation, sent to excuse their personal coming by a Messenger to the Lord Major, who also brought his Majesty's gracious Letter in these words.  
CHARLES R.  
TRusty and well-beloved, We Greet you well. We have received your Address, wherein you do not only give Us a full and acceptable Demonstration of your Duty, Love, and Loyalty to Us (which We do Graciously accept) but also show forth an Eminent Example thereof to all other Our good Subjects within Our Kingdoms and Dominions. You may be assured that as Our Royal Progenitors have always had a particular and extraordinary kindness for that Our Capital City, so We shall not come behind any of them in Our Princely care to make the same both flourishing and secure at home, and Glorious and Renowned abroad. And so we bid you farewell. Given at Our Court at Whitehall this third day of April in the 13th year of Our Reign.  
By his Majesty's Command, WILL. MORICE.  
To Our Trusty and Well-beloved Sir Richard Brown Knight and Baronet, Lord Major, and Major-General of Our City of London, to be Communicated to the Field Officers and Captains, with all the Inferior Officers of the several Regiments of the Trained Bands, the Regiments of Horse, and the Regiments of Auxiliary Forts of our said City.  
Which being read in presence of all the Field Officers made deep impressions of his Majesty's Grace, and favour upon their minds and drew forth all answerable acknowledgements in outward expressions, which they ordered presently to be represented to His Majesty by Sir Richard Ford, Sir William Vincent, and Sir Thomas Player, and directed them to beg of His Majesty this Boyal addition, that they might publish in print the Narrative of the whole passage of their dutiful Address, and the most gracious reception thereof by his sacred Majesty for the just support of those good Subjects whose loyal affections attended that Remonstrance, and at once to stop the mouths of those who detracted from the Royal acceptance of it, and to encourage them (if they have any sense of Duty and Honour) to outdo the Remonstrants in the like real profession of their bounden duty; for which the said Officers shall both love and honour their new Rivals, and in all amity and mutual affections keep pace with them, if they can.  
Which His Majesty was graciously well pleased to approve of, and consent that His Royal Letter, and all the preceding passages should be made public.  
FINIS.
