THE LOVE OF WALES to their soueraigne Prince , Expressed In a true Relation of the solemnity held at Ludlow in the Countie of Salop , vpon the fourth of Nouember last past . Anno Domini . 1616.

Being the day of the Creation of the high and mighty CHARLES , Prince of WALES , and Earle of CHESTER , in his Maiesties Palace of White-Hall .

LONDON , Printed by Nicholas Okes , 1616.

To the high and mightie Prince CHARLES , Prince of Wales , Duke of Cornewall and Yorke , and Earle of Chester , &c. Most Illustrious and Peerelesse Prince ,

THat which your Highnesse beholdeth in the Sunne rising , how in displaying his bright Beames , hee dispells all mistie vapours , and comforts , by the vigorous influence thereof , the feeble sences of inferior bodies : the same might easily haue bin discerned in the faces of all his Maiesties subiects ( who formerly drouping through the Fates destinie ) are at last cheered and reuiued by the happy Rise of your Highnes into the Princely throne of Wales , where you were no sooner enthronized by Gods gracious prouidence , by lawfull authoritie , and by the loue of all his Maiesties liege people ( who are the Princes principall Supporters ) but it was a wonder to see of a sudden , what a sweet spring , what a happie change , what a powerfull renouation was wrought in the vitall spirits of his Maiesties sayd subiects , who daunced for ioy , filled the Aire with shouts and acclamations in all quarters , but specially in your proper Meridian of Ludlow , the beautifull seate of his Maiesties chiefe Castle and Counsell of Wales , where my selfe ( being not altogether an idle Actor , nor vnwilling Spectator ) was so rauished with the fullnesse of ioy , which I saw in the hearts of the people , as I wished my selfe then to bee transformed into the shape of the sweete Nightingale , which was counted Vox praetereà nihil , that with Fames golden wings I might eccho out to the eares of all men , the loyall affection of the Brittish Nation to their royall Prince , and the royall fauours of their gracious Prince intended to them , whose very Name caused such a surplusage of mirth and admiration , as my Penne is not able to decipher the halfe of the reioycing which they expressed , nor were they any way able with all their indeuors , to testifie the full measure of Gladnes which their hearts conceiued : If then in the divulging of this plaine Narration , I eclipse much of the glorious substance of the Shew , I hope your Highnesse in beholding my loyall intention , will be induced to pardon my daring presumption . And what is now the period of all our Petitions , but that Heauen may adde constancie to the felicitie of your Triumph , and then we doubt not that our Ioyes shall euer waxe olde , but whiles your Highnesse continues to accept of the royall Title of Prince of Wales , his Maiesties people will still haue new matter of reioycing in your gracious Gouernment and powerfull protection : Thus in most lowly manner vpon my knee , crauing pardon for this my presumption , hoping your Excellencie will not discusse Nec quis , nec quid , sed quo animo , neyther the meanenesse of my selfe , nor the smallnesse of the matter , but onely the minde and heart of your poore Vassall , I rest praying for all blessings external , internall , and eternall to your Highnesse .

From Ludlow this last of Nouember 1616. Your Highnesse deuoted in all obseruance Daniel Powel .
To the Reader .

THat which Virgill writeth of Ascanius his following his Father Aeneas , I must apply at this time to my selfe ;

sequiturque patrem , haud passibus aequis .

My naturall Father so loued his natiue Country , that ( amongst other Writings ) he wrote a Chronicle of Wales ; Doctor Powels Chronicle . and I , howbeit not able to follow him in like maturitie and perfection , yet striuing to follow him in the like matter and affection , haue aduentured to relate the great cheerfulnesse and exceeding forwardnesse , which was in my Country-men , and all in these parts , vpon the day of his Highnesse Creation Prince of Wales . And how euer the carping Critickes may calumniate my honest indeuours , yet I am sure they can neuer obliterate the memory of that daies mirth , which still remaines niueo signanda lapillo , so registred in the hearts of the people ; Vt nulla vnquam aetas , nulla aetatis vetustas , nulla vetustatis antiquitas illam aboleuerit . Which if thou take in good part , it is all I desire ; if thou doe not , it is enough that I testifie my humble duetie vnto my Prince for his content , and my loue to my Country-men for their commendations , and so I leaue thee .

Afterwards , about nine of the Clocke in the fore-noone of the said fourth of Nouember , William Gregory , and Thomas Blashfield Esquiers , Bailifes of the said Towne of Ludlow , accompanied with the Magistrates their Brethren , and all the chiefe Burgesses of the said Towne , very richly clad and apparrelled , attended by their Officers with their Maces before them , and all the Quire of the Church there , singing of Hymnes and Psalmes of thankesgiuing and praise for our sayd Prince , bringing with them sixe yong Youths , being Schollers of the Kings free Schoole of the said Towne , well and richly decked and adorned , who did beare in their hands seuerall Penons and Bannerolls of the Armes and Atchiuements of our said Prince Charles , that is to say :

The formost Scholler bore in his hand the Armes of England and Scotland .

The second carried the Armes of the Brittaines and Saxons .

The third , France and Ireland .

The fourth , Northwales and Southwales .

The fift , Cornewall and Chester .

The sixt and the last , carried the Armes of Yorke and Lancaster , with the Plume of feathers and the Prince his Name ;

Hauing before them the Towne Waites and other lowd Instruments of Musicke , and before the musicke marched a long the number of two hundred souldiers being well appointed and furnished with Halberds , Pikes , Corslets , Muskets , and Caliuers , vnder the conduct and leading of Leonard Lloyd there then Captaine ( who in good order had his Lieutenants , and Sergeants brauely arrayed , hauing foure Drums , and two Trumpets sounding before them , besides Fifes , and other winde Instruments , who all of them thus appoynted , came vp to the Castle to attend and bring the said Iustice and Counsell to the Church :

And hauing repayred to the Castle Greene there , and meeting Maister Iustice in his Scarlet Robes , with the rest of the Counsell before named in decent maner , vpon the Castle bridge , accompanied with all the worshipfull Counsellors of Law , Atturneis and Clarks belonging to that Court , with sundry Esquiers and Gentlemen , hauing before them Richard Iones Esquier , Sergeant at Armes , carrying his Maiesties Mace , William Gooderick Esquier , gentleman Porter , Richard Collins , one of the Vshers of his Maiesties Chamber , and the two messengers of the Court , viz.

And thereupon marshalling themselues in good array , they all went through the Towne streets , to the Church , singing and reioycing all the way they went , where was another Volley of shotte discharged .

After Prayers said , and Psalmes sung , one M. Thomas Pierson , a graue reuerend diuine and worthy Preacher , made a very learned Sermon of an houre and halfe long , vpon the first verse of the 72. Psalme , viz.

Giue the King thy Iudgements , O God , and thy Righteousnesse to the Kings sonne .

Which Sermon being ended , and Psalmes sung by the Singing-men and Quiristers , to and with the great Organs there , all the whole Company returned .

And as they issued out of the Church and Church-yard into the Market place , there was a new Scaffolde purposly erected neare vnto the high Crosse ( with a great Bonefire not farre distant ) vpon which Scaffolde the said Schollers with their Penons or Banerols of Armes in their hands , as aforesaid , ascended ; and as the said Iustice and Counsell passed by , alternatim vttered , and pronounced these seuerall Speeches following :

All which were principally inuented and made by the painfull industrie of that iudicious and laborious maister of Artes Humfrey Herbert chiefe Schoole-maister of his Maiesties free-Schoole there , vpon one dayes warning .

As also these that follow , were then pronounced , being made by that worthy Alderman of Ludlow maister Richard Fisher .

THe which Speeches being ended by the said Schollers ( who thereby for their gracious boldnesse in the deliuerie thereof , got great applause by the said Iustice and all the Auditorie ) and after another volley of shot discharged , they marched and passed by sundry other great Bonfires , whereof one was by the Castle Gate , and another was within the vtter Court , or Greene of the said Castle , and there marching , discharging of shot , singing , playing on instruments and heartily reioycing , proceeded into the Court-house of the said Principalitie , where the said Iustice very grauely , in the presence and audience of all the whole Company there assembled , deliuered these words following , or the like in effect , viz.

THis happy and glorious Day , the bright Sunne-shining glory of Great Britaine , being the first day of the Weeke , and the first day of our Terme , and the next day to the Lords owne Day , his holy Sabaoth : and the next day before our wonderfull day of our great deliuerance from the Gunpowder-Treason , the Kings day :

The High and Mighty Prince Charles our first Prince of that Name , Prince of Great Britaine and Ireland , Duke of Cornewall , Yorke , and Albany , Marques of Ormont , Earle of Rosse , Baron of Armanoch , of the most Noble Order of the Garter , Knight : Second Sonne by Birth , and now the Onely , and First Begotten Sonne of the most potent and puissant IAMES , by the Grace of God , of England , Scotland , France and Ireland , King ; is this day , at his Maiesties Palace of White-hall , created Prince of Wales and Earle of Chester , being the thirteenth Prince by Creation , in succession of this his Noble Principalitie of Wales .

This most excellent Prince thus stated and stiled , takes it for a high honour , and great dignitie vnto himselfe to be created Prince of Wales ; and therfore all we of this Principalitie and Iurisdiction , are the rather bound to yeeld all honour , dutie and seruice to him who hath so much honoured vs , and all Wales .

And therefore let none scorne nor contemne the power and authoritie thereof , ( his Highnesse being graciously pleased to signifie his pleasure to me and my said Brethren of this Counsell ) That he would protect and defend the same both by his Highnesse himselfe , and by his Princely meanes to the King his father .

And as he is now our first Prince of that name , so I hope he shal be as religious , victorious , and renowned within these his Maiesties Kingdoms and the Dominions thereof in future times , as those of his Name haue bene in other Kingdomes in former Ages before him , to the great glory of great Britaine .

Therefore all our Prayers to God shal be , that our said Prince may be a continuall comfort and Honour to the King his father , our dread Soueraigne , during his raigne ( which God long continue ) and afterwards to be the staffe and strength of vs and all Christendome , for the protection and defence of the Church of God , his holy word and Gospel , and that God will blesse Prince Charles our said Prince of Wales , with all his blessings from Heauen , fit for so high and mighty a Prince as he is ; as also with long life , royall issue , and happy dayes , for the good and welfare of this our Church and Common-wealth .

And let this happy day of the Creation of our sayd Prince of Wales be heere recorded by vs , for a memoriall to all succeeding times : and so againe we say ; God saue and blesse Prince Charles our said Prince of Wales , and his royall Posterity for euer .

These were the words of that reuerend Iudge , there wanteth nothing saue that Grace and Zeale wherewith he pronounced them .

Whereunto all the people with a loud voyce prayed and cryed , Amen , Amen .

And thereupon all the Musick played , Drums were strucke , Flutes whistled , Trumpets sounded , people showted , and another piercing and thundring Volley of shot was let flie , the eccho and report whereof resounded admirably , to the great solace and comfort of all present .

And then being full one of the clocke in the after noone , the said Iustice , and Counsell , with the Knights , Esquiers , and best sort of Gentlemen returned into the Castle to dinner ( where was a great Feast prouided , with excellent musicke ) the Bailiffes also with their Brethren and Burgesses went downe to the Towne , to spend the rest of the day in all joyfull and iouiall manner , hauing all of them , before their departure thence , in the presence , and by the appointment of Raph Mansfield Esquier , chiefe Steward to the Kings Houshold there , drunke plentifully of wine , to the happie health and prosperitie , of our said gracious Prince of Wales .

Dinner being scarse ended in the Castle , the aforesaide Bailiffes in like pompe , beeing againe accompanied with the whole Quire of the Church , and the Penon-bearers with their Banerols of Armes in their hands , and their Musicke playing before them , came vp in great solemnitie into the Castle , where Maister Iustice ioyfully receiuing them , brought them straight into the Chappell , there to offer their Euening Sacrifice , where much reioycing was without doores , and excellent Musicke of Voyces , in singing many Psalmes and new Anthemes within the saide Chappell .

Which being finished , the aforesaid Schollers very humbly prostrating themselues with low obeisance , deliuered vp their sayd seuerall Banerolls into the hands of the said Iustice , who willed Richard Adams Gentleman , being skilfull in Heraldrie there present , to see them orderly placed in the said Chappel , where they now remaine as remarkeable Trophies of that Solemnitie .

And after Prayers ended , the Bailiffes with their company humbly taking their leaue of the Counsell , Maister Iustice required them still to continue their Ringing , as well for the full solemnizing of the said day of our Prince his sayd Creation , as also to expresse their ioy and thanksgiuing vnto Almightie God for our said dread Soueraignes most admirable Deliuerance , with the royall Queene , illustrious Prince , all the Lords Spirituall and Temporall , and Commons of this Realme assembled together in Parliament from the Papists treasonable and horrible conspiracie , and vnmatchable intended Practise of the Gunne-powder treason , in the yeare of our Lord God , one thousand sixe hundred and fiue , and to bee in a readinesse with the sayd Iustice , and Counsell the next morning , to praise God for the same .

Which accordingly was performed the next day , and a very learned Sermon preached by Maister Thomas Kaye , the Kings Chaplaine , attending the Lord President and Counsell there , vpon the twelue and thirteene Verses of the 116. Psalme .

What shall I render vnto the Lord for all his benefites towards me ? I will take the cup of Saluation , and call vpon the name of the Lord .

Which Sermon being ended , euery man returned to their home , the Musicke , Ringing , and Bonefires continuing to the great comfort of all his Maiesties said louing and faithfull Subiects all the said day .

This Solemnization the said Iustice was carefull to obserue , for the Glorie of God , the Honour of the King , and Prince of Wales ; as well to testifie and expresse his Duetie and Seruice , as also the loyaltie and heartie ioy of all his Maiesties louing Subiects then assembled .
