THE Parliamentary Intelligencer , COMPRISING The Sum of Forraign Intelligence , with the Affairs now in Agitation in England , Scotland , and Ireland . For Information of the People . Published by Order of the late Council of State From Monday June 25. to Monday July 2. 1660. From Bury in Lancashire . AMongst all the publique expressions of Joy every where manifested at his Majesties happy Proclamation , though the Weekly News book made no mention of it , I have not heard the Ceremony was more solemnly or handsomly managed anywhere , then by us ; which ( ●o the credit of the Gentleman I cannot but speak it ) was Mr. Lightfoot our Ministers contrivance ; who during these hazardous times constantly owned his Maj●sties cause ; ●aid though ma●y with the world ●an round , he still persisted to be homo quadratus , and as often as the least opportunity seemed to favor his inclination he publiquely made profession of his Loyalty to his Soveraign ; wi●●●ss his bold and frequent mention of his present Maj●sty 〈◊〉 in his publique prayers in Sir George B●o●h● Expedition , for which he suffered the deprivation of his Benefice . I had not insisted so long upon this Gentlemans gallant carriage , had he not been eminently both active and passive , as the Scene varied , for the same Interest ; and were not a large share of the loyal expressions in the ensuing Narrative justly due to him . In short , the ceremony was so splendid , sumptuous , and regular , that it will almost seem incredible that a place comparatively so little , should equal many more considerable Towns ; and that our Minister having satisfied his duty in Divine offices , ( and which is more , the expectations of so numerous ●n appearance of Gentry ) should prove so ingenious a Master of Ceremonies : For though many more hands and purses went to the managing of that affair , yet we were beholding to our Ministers head for much of the contrivance . And as there was cause of an universal joy , so there were large manifestations almost of a general resentment of it , and effects truly worthy of so noble a cause ; the Country-Gentlemen , neighboring Clergy , and Soldiers both foot and horse , each in their several stations being very cheerful and forward to perform the office of Auxiliaries upon so good an occasion , and mutual emulation did provoke all of them to outvie each other in expressions of a hearty obedience to so grateful commands . After the ceremonies in proclaiming his Majesty were ended , we caused a Crown which was all that day carried before us , to be placed on the top of a Red cross erected over the Town-●●ll , where it now remains ; and then feasted all the Gentry which came to see the solemnity , the Waits with loud musick ushering in the solemnity ; and we gave the Irish Brigade which quarter in our town , a sum of monies , and distributed others to the Ringers , Garland and Bonfire-makers , and also bestowed the Kings colors on all the horse and foot , and in fine such rude expressions as Bells , Guns and Bonfires could afford , were abundantly during that day ( and the Fires continued fourteen days and nights after ) and the next day the joy was shewn by all the women in the parish , who spent it in dancing and other monuments . From Stockholm , May 10. The 23 Instant , about eleven a clock at night , the corps of the late deceased King , was brought hither , at the light of above 400 Torches , and very magnificent Pompe . There went first a great number of Horsemen , after whom marched the said Kings Guards ; then the Marshall of the Kingdome , the Count of Levenhaupt , the Deputy of the Nobility , and all the Senators . Then came the Chariot upon which was the Corps covered with a large cloth of black Velvet , whereof the Corners were borne by 4 Gentlemen of the deceased Kings Bed-Chamber , many H●lb●rd●ers being round about it , each of them with a Taper of White Wax , immediatly after marched the young King , with Prince Adolphe his Uncle ; and last of all the Queen Regent his Mother , accompanied by all the Court Ladies ; the Corps having been conducted through this Citty , was deposited in the Church of the Castle , there to remain until it be transported to Upsal , which is the place where it is to be buried . From Vienna , June 5. The 2 Instant , an Express arived here from Pressbu●g , who confirmed the bloody battel lately fought between Prince Ragotzy and the Turkish Forces , about Hermst●●t , but with a success much different from what we heard before The sad Prince had five ●orses killed under him , and lost most of his Infantry and all his B●ggag● : so that there is no hope now that he can maintain himself by force , in the possession of Transylvania , and much less that he can recover the good will or the Grand Seignior who hath refused to accept of the offer he made to him of 500000 Rixdollers yearly , and to j●yn his Forces to the Turkish Army , for the execution of the said Grand Seigniors designes against Hungary ; which hath incensed against him his Imperial Majesty , that it is reported he hath refused him the investiture of some Ba●●wicks he holds in those parts . The Leavys are continuing thoroughout the Hereditary Dominions ; and as soon as any number of them are compleated , they are presently sent away towards the Kingdome of Hungary , to keep the Turks in awe , who doe continue their devastations , although the Bashaw of Bu●a hath sent again to give assurance to the Emperor , that the Sultan doth desire to live in good correspond●nce with him ; and that very suddenly an Ambassador would be sent to renue the alliance betwixt the two Empires H●s Imperial Maj●sties departure for Stiria hath been put off till the 20 Instant , because of the indisposition of the Archduke Leopold , who is to accompany him in that journey . In the mean time his Majesty hath given Audience to the Envoy of the Tartars , who tooke his leave of him , and departed laden with presents ; and the Investiure hath beene given to to the Deputies of H●lstein for the Lands their Master the Duke doth hold of the Empire . Konigsbergh June 7. 1660. By Letters from Mittaw we have , that the Nobility of Curland hath nominated two of the chiefest of their body , to go and meet the Duke their Prince , and accompany him hither , where great preparations are a making for his reception , and that the Swedish forces were begining to remove the Quarters , and leave that Country , marching towards 〈◊〉 . Plensburg 15 June 1660. The Governor of Tonningen having received the news of the conclusion of the Treaty between Swedland and Denmark , on the 13 instant , caused thanks to be publickly returned to God for it , and all his Ordnance to be 〈◊〉 off . The same day all the Danish ships retired to Gluckstad , by order of the Count Eberstain , who likewise removed his forces from about this place , which thereby is now free from the blocking up which hath so long anoyed it . Berlin 13 June 1660. The Elector of Bramdenburgh hath ordered a publick Thanksgiving to be kept throughout all his dominions for the Peace , which now proves to be generall , and for the happy restoration of the King of England , to whom we heire he hath sent Monsieur Polnitz his Master of the Horse , who , we heare ▪ hath orders to propound unto his Majesty the marriage betwixt the Prince Radzivill with the Princess of Orange . Our forces are yet in their former Quarters , but ●s they are like to be hereafter useless , his Electorall Highness hath caused most of them to be disbanded . Lubeck June 18. 1660. The Letters from Copenhagen being not yet arrived , we cannot heare any thing concerning the execution of the last Treaty , but only we are informed that the Swedes were begining to transport the Booty they had in Zealand , and that their German forces had received orders to retire into the places of the Archbishoprick of Bremen , Pomerania and Mecklburgh , and that the rest was to be transported into Swedland . And that in consequence of the subscription of the peace , the Swedish Admiral , who was abord Vice-Admiral Ruyters Ship , had leave to go and kiss the hands of the King and Queen of Denmark at Copenhagen , where great rejo●cings were made , but greater were yet preparing , for the said Peace . From Edinburg June 19. 166● . Out of the affection I have for you , I have with every conveniency ●●q●●●ted you with what passeth here worthie of your Knowledge or observation and at this time especially , I have made hold to borrow a few minutes from the publick solemnities to give you that in brief which we are celebrating with that splendor and affection and unfained token● of joy , that the like hath not been seen before in this Nation ; for great and wonderfull is the Lords work of deliverance in that day , when we expected to be overturned with c●nfus●●● and covered with desolation . The Magistra●● of this City and our Pre●by●ry , bring most sensible of 〈◊〉 great mercy received , did appoint this the day of their publick thanksgiving to God for his signal love and kindness showed to them in investing our most gracious Soveraigne with his T●roane of England and Ireland , and for restoring him to his Goverment ove● this h●s ancient N●tion , that for twenty hundred ye●● 〈…〉 , unle● the Scep●er of his Royall ancesto●● and have given notice of this their resolution to all the Burghs and Presbyter●es of Scotland , desiring their concurrence That ●s the cause is so their joy may be universall ; Our Ministers 〈◊〉 then Sermons with so much fervency and passionat expressions delivered what great kindenes the Lord had f●r●n● , in restoring to us our good King , that it hath n●t been observed that at any time their exhortations have been entertained with such attention , and so plentifull tears by their Auditory . The English Officers of State and War , observed the Thank giving with no less joy and devotion after Sermon , and af●er we had all dined tog●ther , we all marched from the Councell●●-house to the Cross , in this ●o● , the Town Councel in their Gowns , with their Trumpets s●u●ing before them , went first ; then two B●lles before the English Commissioned and Officers , and two behind them went next : The Provost all alone before the Scotch Nobility and Gentry that are in Town , and two ●ui●ies with the Dean o● God and The●aurer followed after ; their Guards neer six hundred Cit●zens in com●ly apparel , armed with Swords and Partisans , the Cross was covered with artificial Vi●s loaden with Grapes , both good ●●are● w●ne ▪ plenti●uly springing out from all its Channels , on its Heads a Bacchus best●●di●ng a Horsh●ad , with two or three Satyres , d●d with then ●mick gestures and jests , en●ertain the beholders , ● little below the Cr● within a Ra● , was erected a ●cuff●ld six foot high , on which was pl●d a large Table covered with a rich Banquet , served up in gl●ss , and representing divers forms and devices : As His ●ajesties Arms , the Arms o● the City , and divers Exotick ●r●es were raised , loaden with their Leaves and Fruits , &c. the Table being surrounded with above one hundred persons of eminency . The Musick and breaking of Glasses were seconded by three g●neral Vollies of the Horse and Foot , who recei●ed an handsom answer from the great Guns of the Castle , Citadel and Sh●ps in the Road , and all were ●o●oed by ●oyful Acclamations of the people . After this the forces drew off , affording the civilities of view to the p●ople , amongst whom the dishes and banquet were hurled , and so arose and marched down to the Pi●zzo of the Palace of Holy : o● house , first the Comm●●ioners next the Mayor General with his Army , and af● them the City ●agistrates with their guards ; whence after the muskets had ●luted the● there w●●h h●vers vollies and had receaved a returne from the great guns of the Castle , citadel and sea as f●rmerly they marched back againe quite thorough the City 〈◊〉 to the Castle-hill from whence eve●rie o●e apart returne 〈◊〉 spend the rest of the evening with their friends in m●rth and m●●uall Joy and entertainements . But now begin the Bells and the Fireworks , therefore I must be gone to assist in the dances of our Magistrates and citizens about the bonfires , and on my knees to remember the health of my Soveraign , and his royal 〈◊〉 , and the prosperity of his Excelleny and all those Heroes and Nobles who have been instrumental , or do rejoice wish us in this our great deliverance and happiness . Whitehall . His Sacred Majesty , our of a sense of the high deferes of Col. John Covert of Slaugham in the county of Sussex , ( who formerly served in the Army of his late Majesty of ever blessed memory with much courage and fidelity , and ●ath since that , notwithstanding the cruelty of his enemies , and their per●ecuring of him for continuing his allegiance to his present Majesty , still remained unshaken i● his resolutions to perform his duty , for which he was by Oliver Cromwell imprisoned in the Tower ) was graciously pleased first to Knight him , and then give him a Patent for Barone● . His Majesty conferred the honor of Knighthood on VVilliam Poultney , a person that ever had a great civility for all that were for the Royal cause , and a loyal heart for his Majesties service . Col. Roger Mostyn is made Gentleman of the privy●chamber to his Majesty to enjoy all priviledges , &c. On Monday , the right honorable the Earl of Shrewsbury presented to his Majesty an Address of the Nobility and Gentry of the County of VVorcester , entituled , To the Kings most Excellent Majesty , The Humble Adddress of the Nobility and Gentry in the County of Worcester . The Address was subscribed , Tho. VVindsor , Tho. Coventry , VVill Russell , and above fifty 〈◊〉 ▪ His Majesty returned them his hearty thanks telling them he was well assured of their loyalty and affection , and should ever have a good esteem of them . One Payne , formerly a Messenger of Oliver Cromwell , is secured ; there beng information against him , that he was the Executioner of that execrable murder of his late Majesty . On Monday , Serjeant Atkins , a person of known integrity and great learning in the Law , sate Baron of the Exchequer . It being prohibited by the House of Commons , upon the miscarriage and abuses of some idle Pamphleters ▪ that any of the Votes of that House should be printed without special Order , the Reader is desired to excuse us , if in obedience to them we cannot yet give him so full satisfaction . Books from the Office of Intelligence having formerly given you an account that Mr Scot one of the late pretended High Court of Justice for trial of his late Majesty was brought to Westminster ; I must confess , though enquired of by many , I could not give satisfaction therein , being tender to gainsay any thing I did not well know especially in a matter concerning Mr. Scot , with who in the Pamphleret formerly kept such const●nt intelligence , till meeting with a meer notation of his , I was informed that he was at Brussels , where he had rendred himself ●o Sir Henry de V● ▪ till his Majesties pleasure should be further known concerning him , laying himself now at last at the feet of his Majesties mercy as his onely security . Naples May 29. Ten ships , whereof six do belong to the Princ● of Montesarchio his Squadron , we●r from hence this we● , with the 2000 Napolitan ●oot , that were in our Arsenal , commanded by Don Emanuel Caraffa , their Master of campe , and a German Regiment of about 1000 Soldiers , who are all to be transported into Spain . They do also carry thither a great quantity of Provisions and Ammunitions for the War against Portugal . Madrid June 2. We hear by Letters from Cadiz , that our Fleet was gone from thence the Fourteenth of the last month ; consisting is two Men of War , laden with silver , and twenty four laden with Merchandizes . We have heard likewise , that the Portugais , to the number of 500 horse and 2000 foot , with two small Field pieces , had under 〈◊〉 somthing upon Ale●gais , but that they were stoutly repulsed by the Garrison , and the Inhabitants of that place ▪ and the Governor of 〈◊〉 Rodrigo being gone 〈◊〉 their relief with the 〈…〉 , had so hot●g charged the Enemies as they were retiring , that he killed 200 of them , and took 100 Prisoners . The States of both the Castilles have been summoned against the 15. instant . Rome June ● . This week Prince Ludovisio went from hence to take shipping at Civitta Vecchia , upon the Captain Galley of the Duke of 〈◊〉 , which is to carry into Arragon . Genoa June 12. The Seventh instant , the Sieurs Francesco Maria Lomellino , Gio Butista Giovo , and Giaccomo Maria Garbarino were elected Senators , and the Sieurs Pietro Maria Gentile , and Francesco Maria Spinola Procurators , for the Supream Government of this Common wealth for two years . Turin June 19. The 17 instant , this Court went from hence for Frone , where they are to remain , during the great heat of Summer . The two Foot Regiments whom his Royal Highness hath given to the Venetians , are likewise gone from Trin , to go down upon the Po to Venice . The Governor of Milan hath demanded leave to ra●s● here a Regiment of Horse of 500 men to serve against Portugal , under such Officers as his said Highness will be pleased hi●self to appoint . St. John de Luz , June 21. 1660. Two dayes afore the departure of the Court from hence , the Count of Fuensaldagne arrived here with a fine equipage , having eight Coaches , each with six horses , three Litters , twenty four Mules with Coverts of Crimson Velvet , imbroidered with gold and silver , two hundred horses all gallantly furnished , thirty pages , and many footmen , all in rich cloaths , laced with gold and silver lace . The Duke of Crequi was sent to complement him from the King and Queen , and afterwards was carried to his audience , where the Duke of Espe●non put on his hat as soon as that Ambassador covered himself , which caused the Dukes of So●ssons and Armagnac to absent themselves from that ceremony . The King expressed to the said Ambassador his great satisfaction of the Queen , and that he was much beholding to the King his Brother , his Unckle , and his Father-in-law , for bestowing on him that Princess . From thence the Ambassador went to the Queen-Mother , where at first having covered himself , he ●ood ba●e during all the rest of the time of his audience , afterwards he went to see the Queen . The King entertained him at night with a Spanish Comedy , where he had a place under the Canopy , three places lower then Monsieur the Kings Brother : All the time of the Comedy the King did nothing but whisper to the Queen . I hath been observed by the whole Court , that the King and Queen are extremely fond one of the other , and can hardly part . It is reported , that the first thing the Queen asked of the King , hath been , that she might alwayes go with him wheresoever he should go either to any journey , or to hunt , assuring his Majesty that she may very well follow him on horseback . She hath sent back again all the Spanish Ladies that came along with her into France , except only two Maids of Honor , Chamber maid , a Dwarf , and two other Servants . The King having asked of her Majesty whom of the servants she would keep ; she answered , she would keep none except his Majesty would give her leave . St. Sebastian , June 21. 1660. Don Lewis d' Aro is to go from hence this day for Madrid . We hear that his Catholick Majesty intends to send the Marquess of Constans to congratulate the King of England for his happy restauration , and that he hath designed the Baron of Battevil to be Ambassador Extraordinary to the said King . We hear from Flanders that all the Spanish Forces that were in the Garrisons and places , and such as were under the pay of the Flemish , amounting to fifteen or sixteen Regiments , both horse and foot , were commanded to draw about Mardike ; it is not known whether it be upon an intention to disband them , or for some other design . Marseilles , June 22. 1660. The 16 instant , the Chiaux of Tunis lately returned hither from the Court , went away with his Majesties Deputy , who is sent about the liberty of the French Slaves . The twenty , the Switzers remaining here , were drawn out to quarter beyond the Port , by the order of the Duke of Mercoeur , who went yesterday for Aix . A Bark lately come from Barbary doth relate , that twenty Men of War from Algier , having met with a Merchant Ship of ours going towards the Levant , have taken her , and made slaves all the men that were aboard of her . Cah●rs the same date . M. Sevin our Bishop , since his return from Toulouse , where he was gone to be sworn to his Majesty , hath wholly applyed himself to the holding of a Synod here . The 17 instant , he caused the funeral ceremonies to be performed in his Cathedral for his Predecessor . There were present to the ceremony all the Corporations of this City , and most part of the Nobility and Gentry of Q●ercy , with above eight hundred Churchmen , Secular and Regular . The Bishop of Montauban made the Funeral Sermon with great applause . Bourdeaux , June 24 1660. The 21 instant , the Duke of Espernon , Governour of this Province , being arrived here to give the necessary orders for the reception of the Court , was received upon the Port , with the noyse of our Artillery , by our Jurates , in whose name the Count d' Estrades our Major , made a speech to him . He was after complemented in his own house by the Deputies of the Parliament , and of the Court of Aydes , and by the Treasurers of France , the Senechal , and the other Corporations of this City , who hath expressed much joy for his return . The 23 , their Majesties having received the first respects of our Jurates , by their Deputies at Bazas , and of the Parliament , by theirs at Langon , arrived here yesterday upon a very gallant boat they had taken about Cadillac . At their lighting , the Duke of Espernon , followed by abundance of Nobility , presented them the Jurates , and after their speeches , the Keys unto t●● Queen , by order of the King . Their Majesties were conducted afterwards through the streets richly hung , and at the noyse of the Canons to their lodgings , where all the Corporation , presented also by the Duke of Espernon , waited upon their Majesties this day , and made them their submissions . The 21 , about four a clock in the morning , we were much affrighted here by an Earthquake , which caused some stones to fall down from one of our Steeples . We have heard that the sune hath happened about the same time in several places hereabouts . ADVERTISEMENTS . THe Reader is desired to take notice , that some unworthy person ha●h so mangled that Excellent Poem that was lately set forth ( called Iter Boreale ) by a Rural pen ( as the ingenious Author was pleased to 〈◊〉 himself ) you may know it by the Effigy of the Lord General Monck affixed with it in the same leaf , tending to the wrong of the Author , and the abuse of the buyer , by taking here a line or two , and there a line or two , and forward and backward in a confused manner , so that the sense of the Author is ( as much as in him lies ) totally perverted .

A smooth black dog , less then a Greyhound , with white under his brest , belonging to the Kings Majesty , was taken from Whitehall the eighteenth day of this instant June , or thereabout . If any one can give notice to John Ellis , one of his Majesties Servants , or to his Majesties back-stairs , shall be will rewarded for their labour . Whereas Tho.

Tho. Rawlins , chief Graver to his Majesty . Amsterdam , Iune 24. 1660. The 21 instant , the Royal Princess having been entertained with rich Presents by the Chamber of the East India Company , went away from hence towards Harlem . The affairs of the Prince her Son go on very well in our Provinces , the States of Zealand having appointed Commissioners to draw a List of the charges and places formerly possessed by his Predecessors , and settle all things again as they were in 1651. By Letters from Edinborough of the 21 , we have this further accompt of the solemnity , That the Major General , after his remembrance of his Majesty to the Earl of Seaford , fired the great Cannon called Monnce Megg ( a Cannon never fired but on extraordinary occasions ) after which followed all the Guns in Edinborough Castle , Leith Cittadel , and the ships in the Road . A plentiful Largess was bestowed amongst the Souldiery to heighten them in their joyes ; about fifteen hundred bonfires were made on Arthurs Seat , one of forty load of coals , and at the Major Generals door one almost as big . After this was variety of fire-works , some burned in the water , other flew in the ayr , two Castles firing one against the other , then several sorts of boxes thrown into the ayr , and falling in several shapes , which with divers others , gave great content to the spectators . My Correspondent there did further inform me , that what he vvrit concerning Major Abernthey , vvas too greedily taken up by him from a brisk report that vvas raised by some ill people , and desires it may be amended in the next Print , vvhich for his and the Readers satisfaction I have done accordingly . As for Major Aberin , my friend of the Intelligence Office , hath not yet told me vvhere he lives , till which time I must desire that Gentlemans pardon . As for what concerns Captain Rolle , I confess I had such a paper left at my house , and so subscrib●d , as he puts in his Pamphlet , but whether Mr. Calmady's hand or no I know not ; I shall suddenly endeavour to wait upon him , and on Thursday next in Publicus will give a faithful accompt of it . For the rest of his pittiful foolery , to those that know me , I need make no Apology , to those that do not , it will be enough to tell them , that I never 〈◊〉 any thing of this sort till entreated to it , for a just vindication of his Excellency , and his Army , to give faithful intelligence of their transactions , which were at that time so basely and falsly represented here by the Pamphleteers then in being . His Excellency was pleased then to send me several of his papers to commit to the Press , which when known to the world , any sober discreet man may judge with what cautiousness and design I must behave my self , with what reluctancy to my self I was forc'd sometimes to imitate this very fellow ( I m●an no further , though then in writing ) to free my self from the inquisi●ion of his prying Master , who employed such busie instruments to intrap men ; how could I then safely represent the m●mb●●s that desir'd a Free Parliament , if not in a disguize , which however was necessary should be done to balance those things he so often foisted in , and crowded week after week into his books , such as his Dare-bones Petition , and that pretended to be the Waterm●●s , which suspition might not a naked simplicity have cast upon the Master I wrote for ? This though his s●●d●owness cannot reach , wise men have though meritorious , and in consideration of my service , the late Council of State ordered me one day i● the week 〈◊〉 be the intelligence , and none else on the same day , which I must tell my G●ntleman I think of as sufficient power , as to the writing of 〈◊〉 I confess I have never yet seen his power , but because the Gentleman in some of his former papers hath 〈…〉 I knew it , I 'le tell him my opinion of it , that he may have paper to keep a 〈…〉 to give information of mone● to be laid ou● in B●ina●ia , or where a 〈…〉 with ●●st security venture ●o have his corns 〈◊〉 , w● the R●●earcher liv●s , 〈…〉 is to be let on the B●●e-side , where young men and old M●rrons 〈…〉 , and that bargains are made to be the●e ▪ bu● how this entitles 〈…〉 ; I leave it to himself to discount . 〈…〉 is by Neth●●mizing 〈◊〉 , they are hi● Tides that honor him ; he 〈◊〉 made like 〈…〉 of Offal , had he not crept into his Livery , he might have gone thred-bare 〈◊〉 this time , and yee I do not say he Nedhamizes , cloath him in purple , and he will pass but so the same creature still . The Maxime in this is true , Corruptio u●ius est generati● alterius , Sir Politick would be , might have been diviller to his Godfather , for surely he gave him his name ; but no wonder if he be irseverent to him , that shew'd so much ingratitude to his late Patron . I will not trouble my self any more with his impe●tinencies , as to what he can say of me in relation to my writing , I think him soberly answered , for his follies slightly . Whitehall . On Thursday , being the day appointed for the Thanksgiving for his sacred Majesties restauration , in his Majesties pass●ge between the Guard-chamber , and his Closet , stood a person neer up to the wall with a drawn sword under his cloak , which was not for some time discovered ; but his Majesty passing to t●e Closet , George Charnock , Serjeant at Arms , casting his eye about for the security of his Majesties person , discovered the glittering of the Sword , and thereupon presently with his Mace seized on the person , took from him the said naked sword , and upon view found the same to be a short sword , back ●ilted , hacked half way down from the point , a weapon fit for a dangerous design , but by the care and prudence of that Gentleman , his Majesties faithful servant , all intended mischief was prevented , the person secured , and his Majesty informed thereof by the Right Honorable and truly Noble Lord , the Earl of Pembroke , and the party remains under examination .

Shepherd , and others of the Assistants accordingly , went to Whitehall , to attend his Highness , and being commanded by him to come into his Bed-chamber , the L. Lucas acquainted the Duke that these Gentlemen of the Artillery Company were come to tender their services unto his Highness , and to acquaint him what they had done in reference to his Election to be their Commander in chief ; then Col. Shepherd was desired to declare the mind of the Company , which he did in these words following : May it please your Highness , WE are commanded by the Artillery Company to acquaint you , that at our General Court your Highness was with one heart and one hand freely chosen to be our Commander in chief ; but we durst not have so presumed , had we not known that your Highness was a Lover of Arms in general , and that in the year 1641. you manifested so much love to that Company in particular , that you honored us so far , as to enter your self to be a member of it ; and is being the ancient custome of our Company still to have liberty to make choice of one of the members of it to be our Commander , we do humbly pray your Highness will pardon our boldness , and be pleased to own us as your own Company , and to accept of our earnest request to be our Commander in chief , and we shall be ready to yeild obedience to your Highness Commands . And humbly pray for the encrease of your Highness prosperity and happiness . Upon which motion his Highness did very lovingly accept of it , and them , and promised they should still continue their ancient priviledges and customes , and he would be ready to do what he could for them : Then he asked what number they might be , it was answered , about four hundred or five hundred , and that they hoped they should be above three hundred in Arms on Thursday next to attend him , and if they were commanded , should be ready to wait upon him that very day at Whitehall ▪ and when the Company was drawn up , they should deliver unto him their leading staff , according to custome : To which he replyed , He would accept of it , and returned them hearty thanks .
