Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

It was the Captains chance to meet Him ( incognito ) as he was a hunting ther , being alone , and strayed from his servants , the King saluting the Captain a●k'd him where he was going ? he said , that he was lately returned from Flanders , with his Wounds and Sca●s about him to give D●n Pbelippe 〈◊〉 account of his se●●ices , and to demand a reward of him ; The King ask'd , whether he had his Sala●y payed him ? 〈◊〉 , quoth he , I must confess I ●●ve th●ugh I stayed somtimes long enough for i● , but I am come now for an Ay●d● de costas , for som Reward besides ; But , put case the King will not do it ▪ th● Captain answer'd , Voto a di●●●u●b●s● mi mula en el culo , If he will no● let him kis● my M●●e in the t●yl ; Thereupon the King with a smile ask'd his name , who told him he was call'd Captain Rodrigo del Rio ; The King said Senior Captain Rodrigo I see you are a stout man , the Counsel of war sits to morrow , where if you make your addresses , and bring with you a sufficient certificat of your services , I shall procure you admittance to the King and Counsel , by giving your name to the door-keeper before hand ; The next day the Captain being let in , and seeing the King with all the Counsel bare about him , the King told him , well Captain , do you remember what you said yesterday , and what the King shold do to your Mule , if he gave you no Reward extraordinary ? The Captain being nothing at all daunted , said , truly Sir , my Mule is ready at the Court-gate , if ther be occasion . The King liking the stoutness of the man commanded 400. Crowns to be given him , and 2000. Rialls for an annual pension during life : The condition of the English Cavaliers is much more considerable , for the Spanish Captain had all his arreares pay'd him , which our Cavaliers have not ; now , ther is no A●tizan or Labourer whatsoever that deserves his hire , more then the Soldier , who besides his hard duties and toyle , ventures both life and lim for his wages . Then comes the Author of the Cordiall in an humble way , to speak of His Majesties condition at present , how lightly the Coffers of the Crown are yet ballasted , what vast summes have bin taken out of them to discharge such indispensable arrears , and how unable he is to do what he so heartily intends , with what convenient speed he may ; Then he gives a touch at some Roundheads that were rais'd , who , computed with the Civaliers , are not one for twenty , which , under favor , holds tru , take all professions together ; for go to the Church ther are twenty five Bishops for one ; go to Deans , Canons , Prebends , ther is forty to one ; go to the parochial Ministers , wherof ther be above 9000. in the Land , ther is above fifty to one ; go to the Universities , how many Heads of Houses , and Fellows of Colledges have bin thrust out , and Cavaliers put in their rooms ? go to the City , scarce any Roundhead hath receav'd favor . The Lieutenant of the Tower and six Commissioners of the Custom house , with divers other Officers , all Cavaliers ; go to the twelve Judges ther are ten to two ; go to the Sargeants , with other Officers at Law , go to the Army and Life-guard ; go to the Court above and below stairs , the odds more then twenty to one holds for the Cavalier : T is tru , fom few are crept in into Offices , but 't is for their mon y , whereof I beleeve the King hath no knowledg ( and 't is only God Almighty is omniscious . ) Touching those Lords of the Privy-counsel , I take leave to say , that we stood without the Curtain and could not see what was contriv'd within , for His Majesties coming over , where the Consultation of the said Privy counsellors with other choice Lords and Persons ( that were the Kings Confidents to that end ) did very much avail to bring the business about ; though indeed , as the case then stood , it may be said that no humane wit or power , but it was pure Omnipoten ce which did the work : But let it not offend any to remember , that divers great Kings have bin enforc'd to raise and reward those that were once their very enemies for a time ; The Kings of France , at the pacification of Nants , and the Treaty of Loudun , were , by Article , to confer honors , in lieu of punishments , upon divers who in open Field fought against them ; and the last King was to remove his bosomest Counsellor from him , as Sillery , and others ; that Hee shold approve of all actions pass'd as done for his service , &c. And all this by public Edict , which was verified by Parlement . In such a posture , it seems , were things in our Edward the Seconds time , when dining in Westminster-Hall upon a great Festival , ther came a Minstrell-woman on horse-back to shew som sports , and going about the Table she left a paper behind , as Stow hath it in his Survey of London page 521. as also Daniel in his History of Edward the Second , which paper was as followeth , Our Soverain Lord the King hath nothing courteously respected His Knights that , in his Fathers time , and also in His own , have put forth their Persons to divers perils , and have utterly lost or greatly diminish'd their substances , to the Honor of the said King , and he hath enrich'd abundantly such as have not born the weight , as yet , of the businesse . The Author of the Cordial proceeds then to His Majesties great clemency , wherat som seem to except ; 'T is tru in som cases , That he who spares the guilty wrongs the innocent ; And 't is as tru , that th Innocence of a Cavalier is to be prefer'd before the Repentance of a Roundhead ; But the World knows what Rules of Mercy His Father ( of ever blessed Memory ) prescribes him in his sacred Legacies ; Moreover , ther 's a world of examples how , after a Civil War , such Acts of Indemnity , such Amnestia's and general pardons were granted of necessity , for if the Law were permitted to pass in such cases , the King might hang up half his Subjects ; yet , it cannot be denyed , but that it is a very sad case , that one shold have my Horses in his stables , my Hangings and Housh old-stuff in his House my Oxen in his plough , my Books in his study , my Jewels upon his wifes fingers , which he had rob'd me of , with other things , and that I shold not have the benefit of the Law to recover them ; yet , touching that , let it be also consider'd how many hundred Cavaliers have bin restor'd since to their Real Estates , and Offices , which , though it cannot be call'd properly a Reward , yet it is a cleer benefit we receav'd by the Kings coming , which benefit we were in despair of but twenty Moneths since . Then the Author goes on with som encouragements , not as if he went about to read a lecture of patience , it being not only an unseasonable thing , but a peece of impertinency , to preach patience to those who are upon point of sinking or starving ; as , God wot , too many of the Royalists are ; only He gives a hint , that they shold stil keep up their spirits , ther being no doubt but that His Majesty being so so●sible of their condition , and the Parlement being made up of so many Worthy and discerning Gentlemen , they will put Him in a capacity to take them into due and speedy consideration , as it is well hoped they will do upon their Re-accesse , 10 which purpose that Cordial may do more good then they are aware . To conclude , he who with a sober and wellbiass'd judgment will examine that Cordial , will find , that ther is never a Line , Word , or Syllable therin , but breaths out the spirit of a perfect Cavalier , as above twenty other several peeces of the same Author publish'd upon Emergent occasions , do breath besides , ther is no fretful drug , or the least Corrosive dram in it , but all gentle lenitifs , therfore he wonders how it should stir up such Malignant humors in any , unless it were in them , who having somthing lying upon the stomack , made wrong use of that Cordial to cast it up . In fine , the Author of that Cordial is very confident , that ther will be such a noble consideration had of the Cavaliers , that they shall have cause to say to His Majesty , as the Grave of Fustemburg said to Charles the Fift after the Wars of Saxony , who having don notable exploits in that War , and the Emperour acknowledging it , Sir , said he , If ther be occasion again , I will feed upon one arm , and fight with the other , to do your Majesty service . For the fuller Infomatrion of the Reader , the Cordial it self followes . A CORDIAL FOR THE Cavaliers . Worthy , and Deserving Gentlemen , IN the Affairs and traverses of this life , it is a tru Rule ( and 't is a comfortable one ) . That he who dischargeth a good Conscience , of his Own , wherewith to reward Himself , though he receive no compensation from any where else : The World knows , and Envy it self doth acknowledg , That in the late Confusions ( which were of that length that might have shaken the firmest Spirits in their Loyalty ) you have discharg'd a Good Conscience three ways , towards your Creator , towards your Country , and towards your King ; your Religion bound you to the One , Nature to the Other , and your Alleageance to the Third ; And although many of you have not yet receiv'd what you expected for the two last , yet touching the first ( wherunto the other conduce ) you are sure to have such a Reward one day , that will not onely be above all Merit , but beyond all Imagination , in the Kingdom of Eternity . Adde hereunto , that I hold your Condition to be far from being desperat , but that you may receive rewards , at least som Consideration from the other Two , viz from your King and Country ; For the present Parlement , which represents your whole Country , being compos'd of so many Wise , and well-weighed Gentlemen ( wherof divers hath bin Co sufferers with you ) will , as it is well hoped , out of a sense therof , have such reflections upon your Sufferings and Services , both Active and Passive , that they will enable his Majesty , whom the Law stiles , The Fountain of Honor and Bounty , and wherof indeed no other Power shold partake with Him , I say it may well be hoped , that this Parlement , before their Recess , will put His Majesty in a Capacity , and humbly Advise Him , if not to Reward you , yet to Relieve your present wants in such a measure , that the Steed may not starve , while the grass grows . You know well that the King hath bin among us but a little more then the compass of one year , and his Grandfather Henry the Great of France , was above 7 years ( which is an Age in our Law ) before he could requite those , who stuck to him not much above 20 months , in making him Master of the Elowerdeluces ; You know the vast debts His Majesty hath pay'd both by Sea and Land , which yet were not his own , nor his Kingdoms , but of that accursed usurping Commonwealth , which exhausted more of the publick Treasure , then all the Kings of this Land , since gold and silver was first coind in its you know He is so shortned , that He hath not yet provided bread for all of his own house ; He is in such a condition , that He cannot give his Royal Aunt that treatment which might be expected ; He hath not wherwith to go his Progress : Consider what vast expences his Fleets at Sea , his Life-guard , with other Garrisons do stand him in , as also what debts he drew upon himself so many years beyond the Seas , for his necessary subsistence , &c. Novv , vvhereas som object he hath revvarded Roundheads , Truly I believe if a Catalogue vvere made of those upon vvhom he hath confer'd Honor or Office since his Return , ther vvill be found above tvventy Cavaliers for one of any other upon vvhom he hath set any marks of Favour . 'T is tru , albeit he came not in by the Presbyterian , yet he could not have come in without him so peaceably , though som alledg that vvhat the Presbyterian did , vvas not as much out of a Love to the King , as out of a Hatred he bore to the Independent , vvho may be said to have us'd the Presbyterian a● the Fox useth to deal vvith the Badger , vvho having found out his Chamber in the Earth , 〈◊〉 ●o betrayeth it , that the Badger comes thither no more , and so the Fox makes himself master of the hole . Wheras som except against his Majesties lenity , and indulgence , let them know that Mercy is the inseparable Inmate of a magnanimous brest , and that the noblest way of Revenge is to forget , and scorn injuries ; I have read in story , that one thing which made Lewis the twelf of France most famous was a Speech which drop'd from Him , when being advis'd by som of his Counsell to punish such and such as were profess'd Enemies unto Him while He was Duke of Orleans , He answer'd , That the King of France doth not use to revenge the injuries of the Duke of Orleans ; no more ( with most humble submission be it spoken ) doth King Charles rese●t much the wrongs that were done to Charles Stuart . Therfore , Noble Cavaliers , possess your Souls with patience , we have a most gracious King who is in the Meridian of his years , and will live to reward all in time . In the confus'd medley of mundane affairs , the Proverb often is verified , Some have the happ , but some stick still in the gapp , Som have the fortune of preferment , som not , and 't will be so to the worlds end . The Author hereof though during the many yeers that he was in prison for his loyalty , had three sworn over his head in an Office of Credit that he shold have had de jure , yet it nothing discomposeth him , being more then in h●pe of a compensation som other way . And as we have a Gracious , so have we a Glorious King , the most Glorious that ever wore these three Crowns , for all the eyes of Christendom are fix'd upon Him with a kind of astonishment and admiration , and not only of Christendom , but of all the World besides , for 't is written that the Great T●●k shold say , If he were to change his Religion , he wold fall to worship the God of King Charles of England , who hath do●● such miracles for him , such miracles that no story can parallel : And certainly , God Almighty must needs love Him for whom he doth miracles : which that his Divine Majesty may continue to do , are the incessant Prayers of 20 Iul●● 1●61 .
