ENGLANDS Congratulatorie Entertainment, OF HIS MAIESTIE Out of Sccotland, and his welcome to LONDON.

[Page]

To welcome home our good and gracious King,

England this Canto joyfully mayſing.

WElcome ſweet Charles moſt mighty Soveraigne,

True Faiths Defender, truth you ſtill maintaine;

Long may Chriſts Goſpell flouriſh, and the law,

To make proud Antichriſt to ſtand in awe:

Welcome, yea welcome, thrice welcome unto us,

By you in Chriſt we ſhall be proſperous,

Unwilling we were for to let you goe

From us ſweet David, God would have it ſo;

We are contented, it was for our good,

To ſtint the ſhedding of great Brittaines blood:

Welcome to London, welcome to us all,

You come with joy to make great Babell fall,

Whereas proud Rome did ſeeke to domineer,

You come in Chriſt to give her whipping cheere;

She thought to bring us all to her ſubjection,

But you in Chriſt have given her rejection;

She thought to ſpread amongſt us great contention

By civill diſcord ſowing great diſſention,

But that our God did check her for her pride,

Hath ſpared us and makes her ill betide,

Wheras ſhe thought all Proteſtants to quell,

It's found in miſchiefe ſhe doth moſt excell;

She plots, ſhe projects after ſuch ſtrange faſhion,

She ſeekes to conquer every land and nation:

But God that ſees her pride will make her bow,

That her foule baſeneſſe every Saint ſhall know;

And ſince ſhe could not worke her mallice here,

In Ireland ſhe would make her ſpite appeare;

But God that Brittaine doth defend and keepe,

For Ireland watchfull is, he will nor ſleepe,

He ſtands for thoſe that for his truth contend,

And he for ever will their cauſe defend:

Then courage take, brave Monarch, you ſhall have

Our hearts, our hands, our purſes, what youle crave,

So long as you Gods Battailes take in hand,

We all will fight under your ſweet command;

Your Princly Sonne Prince Charles great Brittaines heire,

In proweſſe, courage, he's without compare,

To fight Chriſt Battailes he's your chiefe Viceroy,

True Chriſtians comfort, and great Brittaines joy:

Goe on my Leige, God give you good ſucceſſe,

You have done well in Chriſt God will you bleſſe,

So long as you his faith and truth defend,

God will you bleſſe untill the world ſhall end:

Long may you proſper, and your royall blood,

In Church and Commonwealth for Brittaines good,

And for the welfare of true Chriſtian hearts,

Since God by you to them his love imparts;

Stand for the truth, proceed in Chriſt his name,

You proſper ſhall with everlaſting fame;

Ireland calls for you, craves your helping aide,

You muſt helpe them, they muſt not be denai'd:

The helbred Papiſts mighty miſchiefe worke,

Thei'r worſe by farre then is the heathen Turke;

Their ſpirit foule Chriſt Jeſus he will quell,

Stand you for Chriſt your proweſſe ſhall excell:

The Pope ſhall have but little biding there,

If you there make Chriſts Banners to appeare:

If you Chriſts Standard beare on Iriſh ground,

All Popiſh Prelates you will quite confound,

All Popiſh Brats will then goe hide their head,

The truth of Chriſt will ſtrike them all for dead;

Yea your ſweet Gemme ſhall paſſe the River Rhine,

By his ſweet ayde the Romans ſhall decline,

Their end is neare, their downfall is at hand,

By Chriſt under Prince Charles his ſweet command,

By Cherlamaines the Father and the Sonne,

In God through Chriſt the Romans are undonne.

Rejoyce ſweet Lady Elizabeth, rejoyce,

King Charles in Chriſt hath made the chiefeſt choyce,

He fights for you and for your royall blood,

He is ordain'd in God to doe you good;

Though he long time hath beene withheld by Rome,

He comes at length to give her finall doome,

Rejoyce true Proteſtants reioyce yee all,

Chriſt Jeſus gives great Babell now the fall,

The fall of Antichriſt doth now draw neere,

Suppos'd to be within this eighteene yeare;

He is condemned he hath had his tryall,

His downefall now appeares without denyall:

Then welcome home ſweet Charles to London towne,

You come with joy to pull great Babell downe,

You and your blood the Crown ſhall ever weare,

So long as you for Chriſt the Scepter beare:

Then courage take, you ſhall in Chriſt excell,

You ſhall the Roman Eagles forces quell;

Which that you may let all good Chriſtians then,

To my well wiſhes ever ſay, Amen.

IOHN CRAGGE for England and true Brittaines weale, Hath pend this Canto, would not it conceale.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

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 <gap>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).
