MY LORD,  
I Had the Honour to serve you in the Celebration of your Companies love, the 29th. of October last, and from thence derive a boldness to present you with the Epitome of this days Business. My Lord, As your Loyalty hath been great, your Joy cannot be little, nor your Happiness less; That the Hand of Providence in the time of your Magistracy, should restore Our most gracious and undoubted sovereign to his just( though long deprived Rights:) This being committed to Chronicle, must necessarily render you Eminent to Posterity, and make your Honour firm, which before was subject to be blown away by the breath of Malice and Detraction. Pardon the presumption ( my Lord) if I subscribe myself

To the READER.  
READER,  
I Have omitted some passages, in regard they might have proved too tedious, and my time was limited. If it want Illustration, excuse the surprisal, which as it was sudden, took me unprepared: But I confess I am highly obliged to a person of worth for his Notes, of whom I likewise beg pardon, if I have digressed in any thing.   


TIME's SPEECH.  
Most Sacred Sir,  [ knelt.] 

TIme on his bended knee your Pardon Craves,  
Having been made a Property to Slaves;  
A Stalking-horse unto their horrid Crimes,  
Yet when things went not well the fault was Times.  
My foretop held by Violence not Right,  
Died the sun's Cheeks with blood, defiled the Light:  
That all Men thought they eased their misery  
If they could but Securely rail on me.  
These Clamours troubled Time, who straight grew sick  
With Discontents, as touched unto the Quick;  
And so far spent 'twas thought he could not mend,  
Rather grow worse and worse; All wished his End.  
Nay, was concluded dead, and worst of all  
With many a Curse they pealed his Funeral.  
Now see the Change, Since Your arrival here  
Time is revived, and nothing thought too dear  
That is consumed upon him, ne'er was he  
So joved and prayed for since his Infancy.  
Such is the virtual Fervour of your Beams,  
That not Obliquely but directly Streams  
Upon your Subjects; So the Glorious Sun  
Gives growth to th' infant Plants he smiles upon.  
Welcome Great Sir unto your people's Love  
Who breath their very Souls forth as You move.  
Their long and tedious sufferings do express  
Till now they ne'er had Sense of Blessedness.  
The Cheer'd-up-Citizens cease to Complain,  
Having received their Cordial sovereign.  
Among the Rest the skinner's Company  
Crowd to express their Sense of Loyalty  
And those born deaf and dumb and can can but see  
Make their hands speak Long live Your Majesty:  
Whose Royal Presence cures the Wounded State  
Reguilds time's Coat, and gives a turn to Fate.    

truth's SPEECH.  
Most gracious sovereign,  [ knelt.] 

BOund by allegiance, Truth, Daughter to Time  
( Long since abused) Welcomes you to this Clime,  
Your Native soil, to which you have been long  
A Stranger; Now Truth should not want a Tongue,  
Although she hath been murdered by Report  
she's now Camp-Royal and Attends your Court;  
And as in Rules of Strict Divinity,  
He that desires the Judges Clemency,  
Must first Condemn himself, and so prepare  
His way for Pardon, 'tis your kingdom's Care;  
Who do confess whilst other Nations strove  
Which should be happiest in your Princely love,  
Were so insensible of that blessed heat  
A Pulse they wanted Loyalty to beat;  
With Penitential tears they meet your palm  
Showing a Loyal Tempest in a calm.  
Then from your rays of Majesty they do  
Derive such Joy speaks no less Wonder too,  
Children that hardly heard of such a thing  
Now frequently do cry God bless the King.  
Nay though their damned Sires instructed them  
To hate the Cask'net yet they'll love the gem;  
Such is your Radices that you Refine  
Sublunar things to Species more divine.  
You have new coined all hearts, and there impressed,  
Your Image which gives Vigour to the rest  
Of their late stupid faculties that now,  
They'll pass for Currant, and true Subjects grow:  
Th' untainted clothier's Company by me  
Their Instrument, pray for your Majesty;  
May you live long and happy, and increase,  
For ever Crown the harvest of your peace;  
Since graciously you have deceived Our fears,  
Instead of Wars brought music of the spheres.    

FAME's SPEECH.  
Most Mighty Sir,  [ knelt.] 

FAme, that ne'er left you at the worst Essay,  
Welcomes you home, and Glorifies this day:  
You whose blessed Innocence and matchless Mind  
Could ne'er be stained or any ways confined,  
Has stood the Shock of fortune's utmost hate  
And yet your Courage did Outdare your Fate;  
That even those Fiends( for sure none else could be  
Your Enemies) admired Your Constancy;  
Commending that they most did Envy, so  
Against their Wills your Fame did Greater grow:  
And when those Miscreants 'gainst you did prepare,  
And thought You Sure, Your wisdom broke the snare.  
'Twas strange that through the cloud none could descry  
A Spark of that fullness of Majesty.  
But heaven that Orders all things as it list  
Shut up their Eyes in an Egyptian Mist.  
You have past many Labyrinths, are returned  
Now to Your People who long time have mourned;  
The want of Your warm Beams they have not known,  
A summer since your Father left his Throne;  
That like th' benumed Muscovians they now run,  
With eager haste to meet their Rising Sun;  
And if the Rout in Uproar chance to be,  
It can't be judged but Loyal Mutiny;  
Since that You do their Golden Times Revive,  
They to express a Joyful Salve strive;  
Blessed Prince thrice Welcome is the general Cry,  
And in that speaks the grocer's Company;  
To which the present mayor a Brother is,  
Whose Loyalty finds happiness in this,  
This Royal Change, Fame now shall spread his Wing,  
And of your after Glories further sing;  
Since in yourself You are a History  
A Volume bound up for Eternity.
