Brother , PErhaps as the World is now come about , you may in some particulars be as glad of tydings from us , as we formerly have beene from you . His Majestie made his entrance into Yorke , on Fryday last in the afternoone , about foure of the Clock . The Mayor and Aldermen , with some others of the chiefest Citizens , meeting him a mile from the City ; Where Sir Thomas Widrington , his Deputy Recorder of York , made a very worthy and solemne Speech unto him , and in some passages was seene to weepe . His Speech ( by any expression the King could be observed to shew ) was not very well liked of him . The Speech , as neere as I could get a Copy of it , I have here sent you enclosed . The Lord Mayor tendred the Sword unto his Majestie upon his knee , and having kissed his Majesties hand , received it of him againe , bearing it before him , through that part of the City , unto the Pallace . That night late the Earle of Newcastle came in with some other Company ; which Earle departed very early againe , the next morning , some reported towards Hull ; others , for the Bishopricke of Durham . His Majestie had no extraordinary Attendance with him : What may follow , I know not . Here flie divers conjectures , suspitious rumours , upon his Majesties removeall so farre from His Parliament : That Discontent occasioned it , we all feare . God remove , in his good time , all Iealousies from betweene the King and his people . There came on Thursday night , a servant , or Messenger from Sir Iohn Haughtham , Governour of Hull , unto the Lord Mayor , being the night before His Majestie made his entrance . What the importance of that Message did concerne . I for my part am as yet wholly ignorant of : but it is given out to be something that the said Governour requested the Lord Major to impart unto his Majestie , as touching some great charge he had lately received from both Houses , as touching something about giving entrance into the Towne ; The rest , Time must produce . Here are great feares about Strangers , Danes , and others , with a great Fleet that should be upon the Coast , and to come for Hull , or Newcastle . But I trust in God , t is not so . Some Disturbances , for certaine , are broke forth in the Bishopricke of Durham , but whereupon , and what the true ground of it is , I dare not yet write , although it is heere in Yorke given out , that some of the Popish Partie there , doe not onely speake , but begin to attempt strange matters : One whereof is , That they will not part with their Armes , according unto the last Order of the Parliament . Your true affectionate Brother , Simon Rhodes . Sr. Thomas Widrington , Deputy Recorder of Yorke , his Speech unto his Majesty Friday , March 18. 1641. what time His Majesty made his entry into Yorke , met by the Lord Major . Dread Soveraigne : I Am by the assignement of the Right Honourable the Lord Major , the Worshipfull Aldermen , and worthy Citizens of Yorke : by the duty of my place , by my owne so many personall great obligements unto your most Sacred Majesty ; this third time appointed to welcome Your Royall presence to Your City of Yorke ; and assuredly ( most undoubted Soveraigne , ) were it not , that wee in our minds , ( as full of Loyalty as affection toward Your Majesty , ) have too just cause to feare that high discontent arising from the heavy distance , which it hath pleased God , ( for our sinnes , for no long time wee trust ) to breake out betweene Your Majesty , and Your Grand Counsell now assembled , hath rather occasioned this Your Majesties repaire hither at this season , then the oportunity of the place , ( as Your Majesties affaires now stand , ) or any our deserved worthinesse ; Your Majesty being the onely Sol of our hearts , should have had a farre more transcendent vigour in them , toward the raising a farre more forward Spring of joy in them , then yet the Sunne from his Spheare hath in these par●s produced out of the Earth : I speake not this ( Deare Soveraign ) in any wise to bee understood as if it were not deepely possessed with all reall and cordiall comfort ; not onely at the Presence of Your Royall selfe , but likewise of that of Your Royall Sonne , the Princes Highnesse ; whose Excellency is this very first time beheld generally by so great a multitude of Northen eyes as never before in these parts ; ( whom God Almighty long preserve to Your Maiesties continuall security and our future support ; ) But to make knowne unto Your Maiesty , what earnest , unutterable desire , and inclination wee all here have , as wee are well assured , have all Your truly Loyall Subiects throughout Your Kingdome , to see once a happy and a firme correspondency betweene Your Maiesty , and this Parliament , wherein Your Maiesties good and ours , as head and members is a like concerned . They for their part were confidently perswaded maturely weighing ; how , if the Animall Spirits descend not from the head into the members , the whole body is suddenly surprised , either with a Lethargie or Apoplexie : as Your Maiesty , w●● strongly beleeve , in Your Royall wisedome perfectly apprehends , that for the better inab●●●… and cherishing of the Braine , the Vitall parts must administer unto the head ; and were this c●●…rent interchangeably , not intermitted , friendly intercourse is found in the body naturall , its 〈◊〉 is a sound constitution and iocound temperament : But if God , whose wayes are unsearchab●●… and who can unite minds though farre distant in place , shall for Your Maiesties sake in 〈◊〉 of the constant religious heart You ever bore toward him : Grant unto ancient Yorke this bles●●●… 〈◊〉 all discontents and misunderstanding , ( whence have possibly proceeded some jealous●●… 〈◊〉 end at Yorke , may die and depart at Yorke ; may bee entombed at Yorke , then should Yorke have 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ( If ever Yorke had any ) of yeilding humble , hearty , and devout Praise , Laud , and Thankesgiving 〈◊〉 God ; bounden duty , thankefull congratulation , nay , triumphant acknowledgement unto Your Maiesty .
