THis following Address was presented to His Majesty , in the Closet at White-hall , on Friday the tenth of August , 1660. by George Wilde Doctor of Divinity , accompanyed with Sir William Haward Knight , Gentleman in Ordinary of His Majesties Privie Chamber , and these of the Clergie , Doctor Pearson , Rich. Randall , Tho. Mulcaster , Tho. Packenham , Edw. Lorkin , and Jo. Worthington . To the Kings Most Excellent Majesty . The most humble and joyful Congratulatory Address of divers Rectors , Vicars , and others of the Clergy in the County of Surrey . May it please Your most Excellent Majesty . THe present Mercies we enjoy through the Infinite Go●dness and Bounty of our God , are wonderful in our eyes ! No Power but Omnipotency could extricate us out of those woful Confusions , and lamentable Labyrinths of Ruine , into which our National and Personal sins had so deeply and deservedly plunged us . For whereas we were not long since despairing of ever beholding Your Majesties blessed Face in Peace , and our troubled thoughts were , That there was no path for Your Majesty to walk unto Your Royal Throne but blood and fire , and pillars of smoke ; Lo , now to our very amazement , it hath pleased the great King of Heaven and Earth [ of whom Your Majesties Person is an express Image , and lively character in Your Kingly Power and Soveraigne Authority ] to make way thereunto without shedding in the Field one drop of precious Christian blood . Nay , he hath caused those very Swords , which were lately unnaturally and violently drawn against the life of Your most Excellent Majesty , to be ready and willing to be drawn now for You , and hath constrained Your most Implacable Enemies to submit to Your Majesties Mercy . And now we hope , that as the Lord hath sweetly enclined Your Majesties heart , like Your Father of ever blessed Memory , to pass by every Insolency committed against Your Princely Sacred Person : so he will give every misled and undutiful Subject a relenting spirit , to mourn heartily for their wicked disloyalties , and to supplicate as to God's infinite Mercy , so likewise for Your Majesties most Gracious Pardon , which as we humbly begg'd by the late Act of the Commons in Parliament ; so we do by this our Address signifie our joyful acceptance thereof at Your Majesties most Clement and Gracious Hands . And henceforth we shall strive in our Prayers with the most High God , to grant to every Soul within Your Majesties Dominions , true grace to manifest their fear of him , by their Honour and Obedience towards you . And as we heartily desire to shew our selves Your dutiful Subjects , so we do not doubt of finding Your Majesty an Indulgent Nursing Father , to carry us in Your Bosom , to Cover us with Your Wings of Protect●on , to Rule us with Your Scepter of Righteousness , to Defend us with Your Sword of Might , to Lead us by Your most Holy Princely Ex●mple to all Piety and Vertue , that we may be an happy People under a most Blessed and Glorious KING . And now the Mighty Counsellor from above inspire Your Majesties Royal heart , and make you as wise as a glorious Angel , that You may discern between Good and Evil , and be able with your great Wisdom , to heal the Sores , and cures the Wounds of these Your distracted Kingdoms ; that You may with an Invincible Courage , under God , Instrumentally finish the great and Miraculous Work that he hath begun for Your Majesty and your people , in Restoring Your Royal Person to all Your Hereditary and due Rights ; Your Parliaments to their known Priviledge ; Your Subjects to their Charters and just Liberties ; the Chu●ch and Clergie to their ●andient Leg●l Government , Or●er , Beauty , Dignity , and Splendor ▪ That all Posterities to come , as well as this present Generation , may rise up to call You CHARLES The Blessed King . Now the Lord Love You , Delight in You , give You length of Days , with an Un-interrupted Prosperity , Protect Your Sacred Person from all secret Conspiracies , discover and convert Your Enemies , Increase and Multiply Your Friends , Set Your Throne in the Hearts of all Your People , Bless Your Government ; and when Your Majesties long and most Happy Reign shall expire , grant that there may not be wanting u●e of the Royal L●●e to Sit on Your Throne after You , and receive Your Immortal Soul into His Heavenly Kingdom , there to wear an Immarcelcible Crown of Glory . This is , and shall be the continual , hearty , zealous , fervent , loyal Prayer of us Your Majesties most faithful , most obedient , and most loving Subjects , Thomas Turner , Rector of Fetcham . S. T. D. John Hacket , Rector of Cheame . S. T. D. George Wilde , L L. D. &c. John Pearson , D. D. Ralph Cooke Rector of Burstow , S. T. D John Harris , S. T. B. And many others . Westminster .

ADVERTISEMENTS . An Expedient for taking away all Impositions , and for raising a Revenue without Taxes . By Francis Cradock Merchant . Printed for Henry Scile , His MAJESTIES Stationer . An Hawking Bagg , wherein was some small Linnen , a Letter-Case , and Letters , with other Writings , was lost neer Grantham , in Lincolnshire , If any have found it , and bring it to the George at Stanford , or to the Naggs head in James's street Covent Garden , he shall receive ten pounds for his pains . We are commanded to give notice again , That His MAJESTY for divers weighty Reasons as well as the extraordinary heat of the season ) will forbear touching any more of those who have the Evil , till further Order ; of which we shall give you timely Advertisement . We must now acquaint you with a particular from Ireland , which had we it not from unquestionable credit , we should not mention . In the Town of Dundalkchin ( ●n English Castle-Town ) in the County of Louth , there is a chief and very ancient Seat belonging to the Noble Family of Bellew , Sir Christopher Bellew being the four and twentieth Knight of that Family lineally descended , all faithful Subjects to the Crown . About this House and Town were many Ash-Trees , wherein many thousand Rooks did constantly breed , but when the late troubles began , about eighteen years since , all the Rooks quitted the place , which had been their constant habitation Winter and Summer , for above three hundred years , and were never since discovered in that place till the end of April last ( when our Gracious Soveraign's Restauration was visible ) at which time many thousand Rooks came again to the same place , though the Trees were most of them cut down ; where for want of Trees to rest on , the greater part sa●e upon Hedges , and Banks of Ditches , spreading themselves upon the Mote-hill , whereof all the C●untry took notice , and remembring when they fled , concluded their return to be an Omen of his Majesties speedy and happy Restauration . Whereas the enemies of Episcopacy have traduc'd George Baker , ( Chaplain to the late Primate of Ireland , and now Elect Bishop of Waterford ) as gu●lty of some misdemeanors in Preaching a Funeral Sermon in St Margarets , Westminster , at the Funeral of Mr. Christopher Walker , ●● which Church the said Mr. Baker never preached , nor was there present that day : The Certificate of the Inhabitants of St Margarets Westminster . WHereas at the Funeral of M. Christoph . Walker late of S. Margarets Westminster , deceased , solemniz'd at the said Church July 19 last , there was a Sermon then preached by Mr. Baker of Maribone . We whose names are hereunto subscribed do testifie , that we were present at the preaching of the said sermon , & that M. Baker of Maribone did preach the same , and not M. Geo. Baker , Chaplain to the late Lord Primate of Armach , as hath bin slanderously reported . In testimony whereof we have hereunto put our hands this fourth day of August 1660. Tho. Kirk , Bryan Barnaby , Adam Prince , John Belchamber , Bartholomew Pylman , Will . Blagrave , Tho. Kirke junior , George Walker , Joyce Walker , widow of the deceased . London . You may remember when the Rump last lifted up it self , a Person adventured to blot out that monstrous Inscription which the bloody Rumpers had caused to be set over the place where stood the Statue of that glorious Martyr King Charles the first ; several persons assumed that honest Enterprise to themselves , as there will never want such as will own a good action when crown'd with success : Know therefore , that it was Mr. Michael Darby now Painter to the Company of Mercers , who hearing how three eminent Members of that Society were troubled to behold that infamous Superscription : the said Mr. Darby freely offered himself to blot it out , engaging to do it , before he slept , and accordingly performed it at a full afternoon Exchange time ; who as soon as he had fin●shed it , with a loudly voice said , God save King Charls the second ; for which Act of Loyalty he hath had the Honour to beautifie the Statues of our gracious King and his glorious Father , with the in●criptions under written .

Last night a little before the Gates of this City were shut up , arrived here Christina Queen of Sweden , with a great Train of Followers , it is said she intends to make some stay here , but of that there is no certainty . The Consederate Forces in Holstein and Pomerania ( as the report goeth ) are like to lie yet a moneth longer in their Quarters . Letters from Copenhagen intimate , that affairs were put there into a quiet posture , the Danes being now at some ease , since the Swedes have quitted their Islands , and are all gone over into Schonen , whose transportation being much furthered by the Holland Vice Admiral de Ruyter , his Majesty of Denmark hath given him many thanks , besides a noble present . This Vice Admiral is now in readiness to repair with his Fleet into Holland with the first opportunity .

The Bashaw Governor of Canea , perceiving the time to draw nigh that a siege would be laid to this place , he hath caused all the Armes to be taken away from the Inhabitants , fearing lest they might keep secret Intelligence with the Venetians ; He hath likewise shipt away many little and unserviceable persons .

His Najesty is now to goe with a small retinue into Carinthia , and Craine , to take homage of those Countries , the rest of his followers are to return hither . From Upper Hungaria it is certified , that the Count of Serin hath received orders from his Imperial Majesty to withdraw his Forces from the Fort of Canischa ; But the Turkes are not minded to quit Transylvania , till those 500000 Florens , which Barchay had raised from the States of that Countrey , be repayed them , the most part of which summe he hath disburst upon Levies and Ammunition for the War , and therefore doth yet desire more of the Countrey . The Hungarian and the Ragozian Garrison in Great Waradin solicits earnestly for a speedy relief , at least , that they could be provided but with 3 or 4 expert Gunners , because the Turks are fully resolved to lay siege to that place , whereof notice hath been given to his Imperial Majesty at Gratz by a Courrier . At the beginning of August his Majesty intends to set his Journey forwards for Carinthia , in order whereunto all necessary provision is made , Horses and Mules for Carriages being appointed to attend his Majesty at Gratz .

From Argileshire in Scotland Aug. 13. 1660. Here is very much rejoycing at the Imprisonment of the Marquess of Argile : for though this Country bears his name , there are too many Families which he hath endeavored to ruine , the woful experience whereof will be evidenced by the Clandowgals , Clan Leans , Mac Donnals , and Mac Waughtons , besides the unnatural and unhumane usage of many hundred poor souls sent by him into the Island of Jura , where they all perished . Whether he hath practised murther , and taking possession , you will hear ere long : I assure you that thousands are glad of what is done , who , although you yet have not their hands in this Letter , yet neither hands nor hearts will be wanting to preserve his Majesties peace in Argileshire against all opposers whatsoever .
