MY LORD,

I Had the Honour to serve you in the Celebration of your Companies love, the 29th. of October last, and from thence derive a boldness to present you with the Epitome of this days Business. My Lord, As your Loyalty hath been great, your Joy cannot be little, nor your Happiness less; That the Hand of Providence in the time of your Magistracy, should restore Our most gracious and undoubted SOVERAIGN to his just (though long deprived Rights:) This being committed to Chronicle, must necessarily render you Eminent to Posterity, and make your Honour firm, which before was subject to be blown away by the breath of Malice and Detraction. Pardon the presumption (my Lord) if I subscribe my self

The humblest of your Servants J. Tatha [...]

READER,

I Have omitted some passages, in regard they might have prov'd too tedious, and my time was limited. If it want Illustration, excuse the Surprisall, which as it was sudden, took me unprepared: But I confess I am highly obliged to a person of worth for his Notes, of whom I likewise beg pardon, if I have digress'd in any thing.

TIME's SPEECH.

Most Sacred Sir,

[Kneels.]

TIme on his bended knee your Pardon Craves,

Having been made a Property to Slaves;

A Stalking-horse unto their horrid Crimes,

Yet when things went not well the fault was Times.

My Fore-top held by Violence not Right,

Dy'd the Suns Cheeks with blood, defil'd the Light:

That all Men thought they eas'd their misery

If they could but Securely rail on me.

These Clamours troubled Time, who streight grew sick

With Discontents, as Touch'd unto the Quick;

And so far spent 'twas thought he could not mend,

Rather grow worse and worse; All wish'd his End.

Nay, was concluded dead, and worst of all

With many a Curse they Peal'd his Funeral.

Now see the Change, Since Your arrival here

Time is Reviv'd, and nothing thought too dear

That is Consum'd upon him, ne're was he

So Iov'd and pray'd for since his Infancy.

Such is the Vertual Fervour of your Beams,

That not Obliquely but directly Streams

Upon your Subjects; So the Glorious Sun

Gives growth to th' infant Plants he smiles upon.

Welcome Great Sir unto your Peoples Love

Who breath their very Souls forth as You move.

Their long and tedious Suffrings do expres

'Till now they ne're had Sense of Blessedness.

[Page] The Cheer'd-up-Citizens cease to Complain,

Having Receiv'd their Cordial Soveraign.

Among the Rest the Skinners Company

Crowd to express their Sense of Loyalty

And those born deaf and dumb and can can but see

Make their hands speak Long live Your Majesty:

Whose Royal Presence cures the Wounded State

Re-guilds Times Coat, and gives a turn to Fate.

TRƲTH's SPEECH.

Most gracious Soveraign,

[Kneels.]

BOund by allegiance, Truth, Daughter to Time

(Long since abus'd) Welcomes you to this Clime,

Your Native Soyle, to which you have been long

A Stranger; Now Truth should not want a Tongue,

Although she hath been Murder'd by Report

Shee's now Camp-Royal and Attends your Court;

And as in Rules of Strict Divinity,

He that desires the Judges Clemency,

Must first Condemn himself, and so prepare

His way for Pardon, 'tis your Kingdomes Care;

Who do confess whil'st other Nations strove

Which should be happiest in your Princely love,

Were so insensible of that blest heat

A Pulse they wanted Loyalty to beat;

With Penitential tears they meet your Palme

Shewing a Loyal Tempest in a Calme.

Then from your Rayes of Majesty they do

Derive such Joy speaks no less Wonder too,

Children that hardly hear'd of such a thing

Now frequently do cry God bless the King.

[Page] Nay though their damned Sires instructed them

To hate the Cask'net yet they'l love the Jem;

Such is your Radices that you Refine

Sublunar things to Species more divine.

You have new Coyn'd all hearts, and there Imprest,

Your Image which gives Vigour to the rest

Of their late stupid faculties that now,

They'l pass for Currant, and true Subjects grow:

Th' untainted Clothiers Company by me

Their Instrument, pray for your Majesty;

May you live long and happy, and Encrease,

For ever Crown the harvest of your peace;

Since graciously you have deceiv'd Our fears,

Instead of Wars brought Musick of the spheres.

FAME's SPEECH.

Most Mighty Sir,

[Kneels.]

FAme, that ne'r left you at the worst Essay,

Welcomes you home, and Glorifies this day:

You whose blest Innocence and matchless Mind

Could ne're be stain'd or any wayes Confin'd,

Has stood the Shock of Fortunes utmost hate

And yet your Courage did Outdare your Fate;

That even those Fiends (for sure none else could be

Your Enemies) admir'd Your Constancy;

Commending that they most did Envy, so

Against their Wills your Fame did Greater grow:

And when those Miscreants 'gainst you did prepare,

And thought You Sure, Your wisdom broke the snare.

'Twas strange that through the cloud none could descry

A Spark of that fulness of Majesty.

[Page] But Heav'n that Orders all things as it list

Shut up their Eyes in an Egyptian Mist.

You have past many Labyrinths, are Return'd

Now to Your People who long time have Mourn'd;

The want of Your warm Beams they have not known,

A Sommer since your Father left his Throne;

That like th' benum'd Muscovians they now run,

With eager hast to meet their Rising Sun;

And if the Rout in Uproar chance to be,

It cann't be Judg'd but Loyal Mutiny;

Since that You do their Golden Times Revive,

They to express a Joyful Salve strive;

Blest Prince thrice Welcome is the general Cry,

And in that speaks the Grocers Company;

To which the present Maior a Brother is,

Whose Loyalty finds happiness in this,

This Royal Change, Fame now shall spread his Wing,

And of your after Glories further sing;

Since in Your self You are a History

A Volume bound up for Eternity.

The Order and Management of the whole Days Business.

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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.
