The
returne
of
Prince
Charles
from
Spaine
.
AS
no
transitory
glories
can
bee
greater
than
to
see
Kingdomes
married
to
Kingdomes
in
Commerce
,
confederacie
,
and
honourable
Vnion
:
So
,
next
vnto
That
,
(
or
rather
first
aboue
That
,
because
This
second
is
a
Roote
,
from
whence
those
Cedars
of
Blessings
more
often
arise
,
)
no
Chaines
can
bee
made
of
purer
gold
,
than
Those
by
which
,
two
Princes
potent
and
neighbouring
Nations
are
linked
together
in
holy
and
honourable
Bondes
of
Wedlocke
.
Our
most
excellent
Prince
therefore
(
Charles
)
heire
apparent
to
all
the
Kingdomes
of
our
Royall
Soueraigne
King
James
(
his
Father
,
)
hauing
that
care
(
due
to
all
Princes
)
to
lengthen
out
his
Name
,
by
leauing
a
Royall
Propagation
behind
him
;
did
by
the
consent
of
the
King
his
Father
,
depart
in
priuate
from
England
,
in
March
last
,
with
a
small
traine
,
of
which
the
then
Lord
Marquesse
,
now
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
next
to
his
Highnesse
was
Chiefe
.
His
Princely
desires
seruing
him
as
wings
to
flye
ouer
the
dangers
of
the
Seas
,
into
Spain
,
there
to
behold
that
admirable
Lady
of
the
world
,
(
for
Birth
,
Beauty
,
and
all
the
richest
Ornaments
,
both
of
Minde
and
Body
)
the
Infanta
of
Spaine
,
(
Donna
Maria
)
Sister
to
Philip
the
fourth
King
of
Spaine
,
&c.
And
not
onely
to
behold
her
,
but
also
,
that
by
presenting
to
her
faire
eyes
,
a
Prince
,
equall
to
her
in
all
excellencies
of
perfection
,
there
might
from
their
mutuall
enter-viewes
one
of
another
,
a
heauenly
fire
of
Loue
be
kindled
,
out
of
which
might
shine
a
memorable
glory
to
both
the
Nations
.
England
could
not
trust
the
Sea
with
a
greater
masse
of
Treasure
,
yet
ventured
she
to
lock
it
vp
in
the
bosome
of
the
deepe
:
France
in
a
short
time
had
gotten
into
her
possession
a
richer
Flower
than
her
owne
Flower
Deluce
,
and
but
for
a
short
time
kept
it
:
for
neither
Seas
,
nor
Land
had
charmes
strong
enough
to
hold
the
vnbounded
spirit
of
our
Prince
,
vntill
he
had
arriued
at
that
place
,
to
which
the
brauery
of
his
resolution
had
vowed
to
carry
him
.
The
Heauens
had
vndertaken
to
waft
him
vnto
Spaine
,
and
there
,
after
many
weary
iourneys
,
did
they
safely
bring
him
to
the
King
of
Spaines
Court
,
at
his
royall
City
of
Madrid
.
What
exultations
were
made
at
his
arriuall
,
what
generall
acclamations
shouted
out
his
Welcomes
:
His
Magnificent
entertainements
,
princely
Feastings
,
with
all
the
curiosities
of
Kingly
Triumphs
,
that
either
sumptuous
expences
,
quicknesse
of
inuention
,
or
the
custome
and
quality
of
that
Countrie
could
bring
forth
,
haue
beene
already
so
shrilly
sounded
out
of
the
Trumpet
of
Fame
,
that
here
againe
to
proclaime
them
,
were
to
set
vp
a
Candle
,
after
a
Firmament
of
lights
had
showne
them
to
the
world
.
Now
albeit
,
(
aboue
these
Temptations
,
)
there
was
in
the
young
King
,
and
our
Prince
(
of
themselues
)
sufficient
allurements
,
not
to
haue
them
parted
asunder
,
(
they
being
as
Darlings
one
to
another
;
)
for
they
were
a
paire
of
sweet-sounding
Instruments
,
set
to
one
Tune
,
and
equally
strung
with
the
same
Number
of
yeares
,
(
or
not
much
differing
:
)
All
their
thoughts
,
wishes
,
recreations
,
speeches
and
Actions
,
being
Lines
meeting
in
one
Center
,
and
their
often-infolded
Armes
,
the
circumference
to
that
Center
.
Nay
more
,
albeit
,
that
high-borne
Princesse
,
Donna
Maria
the
Infanta
,
through
the
naturall
Magicke
of
her
Beauty
,
sweetnesse
of
Voyce
,
variety
of
Languages
,
with
all
the
rarest
and
most
princely
comportments
,
fitting
to
her
birth
was
able
to
fasten
,
such
a
power
vpon
our
Prince
,
that
he
well
might
beleeue
no
countrie
in
the
world
but
Spaine
was
worth
his
abiding
in
it
.
Adde
likewise
to
this
boundlesse
Ocean
of
Delight
,
other
cleere-running
streames
falling
into
their
Current
,
as
the
continuall
and
endeerde
Embraces
of
the
Infante
Cardinall
,
and
the
Infante
Don
Carlos
(
brothers
to
the
King
:
)
bring
vp
besides
to
these
,
all
the
Honors
,
complements
,
congratulations
,
attendances
,
and
courtly
regards
bestowed
daily
vpon
our
Prince
,
by
Grande's
,
Conde's
,
and
Lords
of
State
;
the
least
of
which
by
it selfe
,
but
all
of
them
knit
together
,
being
of
vertue
to
make
any
man
consent
to
be
drawne
away
in
so
golden
a
Chariot
:
Yet
there
was
a
heape
of
Kingdomes
(
one
day
to
be
his
owne
)
which
beckond
to
haue
him
come
and
feele
their
embraces
.
Hee
might
as
farre
as
from
the
Court
of
England
,
to
that
at
Madrid
in
Spaine
,
heare
his
Royall
Father
(
King
Iames
)
often
wish
,
to
haue
his
princely
Charles
againe
by
his
side
.
Not
that
he
feared
any
malitious
danger
could
fall
vpon
him
,
(
There
,
)
but
rather
at
his
being
parted
from
thence
,
when
those
two
inuincible
Pirats
of
the
Sea
,
(
the
windes
and
the
waues
)
should
fall
out
and
fight
one
against
another
,
might
play
the
Traitor
and
take
him
from
vs
.
Hee
might
heare
the
Lords
of
his
Fathers
most
Honourable
priuie
Councell
,
lamenting
for
his
abscence
:
The
Nobility
discontentedly
sighing
,
the
cleargy
still
praying
for
him
:
the
Gentry
complaining
,
and
the
common
people
more
than
madde
in
their
longings
,
to
haue
him
make
a
quicke
returne
home
.
Thus
,
were
the
warning-pieces
,
which
continually
were
shot
off
to
giue
him
notice
,
how
much
the
kingdome
ingenerall
languished
for
him
.
This
was
his
owne
country-musicke
,
striking
vp
of
purpose
to
haue
his
princely
Eare
listen
to
the
Tunes
.
These
were
a
mixture
of
ten
thousand
voyces
,
(
like
Ecchoes
)
dwelling
in
euery
Hill
,
Peer
,
Promontory
,
and
Cape
at
sea
,
betweene
vs
and
Spaine
,
hollowing
to
our
Charles
(
like
so
many
merry
whistling
windes
)
to
haue
him
come
aboord
,
and
make
for
England
.
But
before
we
can
make
our
eyes
so
happy
,
as
to
behold
him
,
we
must
awhile
looke
into
Spaine
.
And
there
obserue
what
care
the
King
of
Spaine
took
,
for
the
preparation
of
his
Highnesse
iourney
:
appointing
Attendants
and
officers
befitting
the
State
of
such
a

The
comming
of
the
Illustrious
Prince
of
Wales
into
these
Kingdomes
,
being
the
strangest
occurrent
that
in
a
Royall
person
the
world
hath
for
many
ages
seene
,
which
dasht
and
obscured
all
ancient
patternes
and
examples
,
it
astonished
whole
Nations
,
and
raised
vp
assured
hopes
of
great
prosperities
and
opinions
,
of
his
comming
amongst
men
,
being
so
diuersly
conceiued
,
beyond
the
bounds
of
ordinary
discourse
,
as
in
sundry

my
Relations
hath
beene
reported
,
wherein
are
discouered
and
reuealed
many
points
of
vrbanity
,
greatnes
,
and
gallantrie
,
I
thought
my selfe
likewise
obliged
to
write
of
his
departure
,
comprehending
(
as
you
shall
see
)
so
many
circumstances
of
pleasure
,
and
contentment
.

the

Don
Lewis
de

Alcayd
of

his

requisite

Espousals
in
the
Latine
tongue
,
three
thousand
Ryals
,
with
many
honours
and
manifestations
of
contentment
.
And
about
fiue
in
the
morning
,
hee
cheerefully
departed
from
Agasaxo
,
being
receiued
into
that
Citie
:
hee

de
Nieua
,
&
the
day
following
,
at

,
and
lay

Olmedo
:
on

he
dined

&
by

came
to
Valladolid
,
where
the
whole
Chancerie
,
Citie
,
and
Vniuersitie
kissed
his
hand
,
with
a
great
traine
and
company
,
whom
he
honored
with
signes
of
ioy
and
gladnesse
:
he
was
entertained
by
those
Lords
with
brauery
and
gallantrie
,
wherein
they
shewed
affection
to
serue
their
King
,
&
by
celebrating
the
ioy
of
the
Prince
his
comming
,
which
his
Maiestie
formerly
manifested
:
Amongst
whom
,
the
Marquesse
de
los
Velez
,
&
the
Conde
de
Aluade
Aliste
,
exemplified
themselues
,
in
the
great
traine
of
Seruants
,
the
glorious
apparell
of
their
owne
persons
,
and
in
the
riches
of
their
Liueries
;
al
which
he
honoured
as
they
deserued
,
and
as
hee
well
knowes
how
to
performe
it
.
His
Highnes
went
to
see
the
Kings
Garden
,
hee
was
much
delighted
with
the
Pictures
of
Raphael
de
Vrbino
,
and
Michael
Angelo
,
and
with
the
Alabaster
Fountaine
,
which
the
Illustrious
great
Duke
of
Tuscan

to
my
Lord

;
he
was
serued
with

:
It
is
the
portrature
of
Cain
and
Abel
.
And
his
Highnesse
took
great
contentment
in
the
rich
shops
of
the
Citie
,
which
honoured
him
with
festiuities
of
fires
,
(
for
he
would
stay
for
no
other
solemnities
)
and
leauing
among
the
Officers
of
the
Palace
&
the
Garden
,
testimonies
of
his
magnificence
,
he
departed
to
Duennas

where
,
by
order
,
the
Duke

Cea
,
Vice-admiral
of
Castilia
,
entertained
&
feasted

and
in

great
Iewell
,
&
to
his
best
,
and
inferiour
seruants
,
a
liberality
of
mony
:
from
whence
he
departed
to
Carrion
.
Hee
visited
the
Antiquities
of
the
Citie
,
and
so
went
to
Fromista
,
and
hauing
entertainement
in
the
Marquesses
house
,
by
his
order
,
he
was
serued
with
a
great
sumptious
Dinner
:
The
like
was
shewed
him
in
Alguilar
de
Campo
,
by
the
Marquesse
thereof
:
and
in
Herrera
Rio
de
Pisuerga
.
The
Constable
of
Castilia
and
Leon
,
presented
him
with
the
like
,
for
his
own
honour
,
and
the
eminency
of
his
Family
,
omitting
nothing
,
wherin
he
may
testifie
it
.
And
thus
the
Author
cuts
off
the
thread
of
his
Narration
,
reseruing
the
rest
for
some
more
elegant
Pen
,
till
his
comming
to
London
.
With
Licence
from
the
Lord
Gançalo
Perez
de
Valençuela
.
In
Madrid
by
the
widdow
of
Alonso
Martin
,
1623.
Thus
far
runnes
the
printed
Spanish
Relation
:
what
ensued
after
,
you
shall
now
heare
,
from
the
report
of
some
of
his
Highnesse
Traine
,
that
attended
in
the
Voyage
.
And
thus
it
beginnes
.
He
arriued
at
Saint
Andera
on
Saint
Mathews
day
:
not
farre
off
from
this
Port
,
the
Prince
dined
(
hauing
not
yet
made
his
entry
into
the
towne
)
whilst
he
sat
at
dinner
(
circled
about
with
all
his
noble
company
)
a
double
newes
saluted
him
at
the
boord
,
and
both
of
them
good
:
the
one
was
,
that
his
sister
(
the
Princesse
Palatine
)
was
safely
brought
to
bed
of
a
sonne
;
the
other
was
,
that
the
whole
Fleet
(
vnshaken
by
any
dangerous
Sea-bruizes
)
was
arriued
in
the
hauen
of
Saint
Andera
.
In
the
afternoone
of
the
same
day
that
the
newes
was
brought
,
about
foure
of
the
clocke
,
he
was
with
all
honor
receiued
and
welcomed
into
the
Towne
:
Being
entertained
vpon
the
way
,
not
only
with
multitudes
of
people
testifyng
much
affection
in
their
faces
,
and
vttering
no
lesse
in
their
Spanish
tongues
,
that
it
came
from
their
hearts
:
but
to
render
this
ioy
more
substantially
,
he
was
first
all
the
way
he
came
along
presented
with
vollies
of
Musketeeres
,
and
at
the
towne
with
a
ringing
peale
of
Ordnance
.
He
was
no
sooner
in
the
towne
,
but
his
desire
was
to
take
a
view
of
his
Fleet
,
being
attended
by
many
great
Lords
of
Spaine
who
had
come
along
to
Saint
Andera
with
him
;
the
Conde
of
Monterey
being
a
principall
;
with
many
English
of
good
quality
.
How
soone
are
ioyes
turned
into
sorrowes
?
safetie
into
dangers
?
a
shining
forenoone
into
a
gloomy
euening
?
His
Highnesse
after
all
that
feasting
and
triumphing
in
Saint
Andera
,
being
desirous
to
go
aboord
that
goodly
ship
(
the
Admirall
of
his
Fleet
)
called
the
Prince
,
(
a
title
due
to
it
for
the
brauery
and
Princely
building
of
it
)
spent
so
much
time
,
that
the
euening
drew
on
apace
,
and
with
the
euening
a
more
threatning
enemy
:
for
not
onely
the
tyde
resisted
his
comming
backe
(
his
Highnes
being
then
in
his
own
Barge
,
&
his
owne
Watermen
rowing
in
it
)
but
a
storme
began
to
arise
,
and
the
billows
to
swel
high
,
before
the
Watermen
had
gotten
halfe
way
from
the
ships
to
the
towne
,
the
distance
between
the
shore
and
the
ships
being
at
least
a
Spanish
league
.
The
Watermen
were
strong
,
cunning
,
and
couragious
,
but
the
furious
waues
taught
their
Oares
another
manner
of
practise
then
euer
they
were
put
to
vpon
the
Thames
.
To
the
town
they
could
not
possibly
get
,
against
a
wind
and
tyde
so
raging
,
or
if
they
had
ventured
,
it
had
been
dangerous
,
in
regard
a
huge
Barke
(
to
saue
her selfe
)
lay
very
neere
the
mouth
of
the
Harbour
:
to
the
shore
they
were
as
fearefull
to
put
,
it
being
full
of
rocks
;
to
the
ships
back
againe
to
flie
for
succour
,
night
(
a
darke
night
)
being
spred
ouer
that
Horizon
,
denied
that
comfort
,
for
if
they
should
misse
the
ships
,
they
were
in
doubt
to
be
carried
into
the
maine
,
the
channell
where
the
Fleet
anchored
,
running
with
an
impetuous
and
irresistable
torrent
.
In
this
full-Sea
of
Horrors
,
the
Prince
resolued
to
turn
back
towards
the
ships
,
and
to
fall
in
vpon
the
first
they
could
fasten
,
rather
then
trust
to
the
mercy
of
the
rockes
,
vpon
euery
one
of
which
sat
ineuitable
destruction
.
What
could
Hope
trust
to
here
,
where
neither
the
watermens
skill
,
nor
strength
,
could
incourage
them
to
bring
safety
to
their
Master
?
And
so
much
greater
was
the
danger
,
by
how
much
the
night
(
by
reason
of
the
storme
)
grew
darker
and
darker
:
yet
at
last
,
that
omnipotent
Arme
,
which
can
teare
vp
rocks
from
their
center
,
and
that
voyce
which
can
call
in
the
winds
;
and
still
them
with
the
mouing
of
his
finger
,
sent
a
Doue
with
an
Oliue
branch
in
her
bill
,
as
an
assurance
of
comfort
.
For
by
casting
out
a
roape
from
a
ship
called
the
Defiance
,
(
which
with
much
hazard
of
life
,
one
of
the
Princes
watermen
catched
hold
off
)
by
spying
a
light
in
the
same
ship
,
his
Highnesse
and
all
in
the
Barge
with
him
,
(
praise
be
giuen
to
the
Almighty
Pilot
,
that
stood
at
Helme
)
were
,
with
vnspeakable
ioy
receiued
into
that
shippe
,
and
there
tooke
vp
his
lodging
till
the
next
morning
:
nothing
at
all
daunted
at
these
terrors
,
sithence
dangers
to
noble
minds
are
but
the
triumphs
of
their
constant
sufferings
.
The
next
day
(
being
Satturday
)
his
Highnesse
was
brought
to
shore
,
and
dined
in
a
House
appointed
for
him
and
his
company
;
where
after
Dinner
,
he
tooke
leaue
of
the
Spanish
Commissioners
,
and
others
,
who
had
waited
on
him
thither
;
and
a
little
before
the
euening
,
went
aboard
his
Ship
,
called
the
Prince
,
with
a
full
resolution
to
make
the
compasse
of
those
woodden
walles
,
the
Prince
of
Englands
Court
,
and
in
that
Sea-chamber
of
Presence
euen
to
dwell
,
without
any
remoue
,
vntil
it
should
please
God
to
send
a
prosperous
winde
,
fit
to
carry
him
into
England
.
Leaue
we
those
Lords
of
Spaine
,
fitting
their
iourney
backe
againe
to
Madrid
,
and
let
vs
returne
to
our
Prince
;
whose
progresse
(
after
the
King
of
Spaine
had
taken
leaue
of
him
at
Campillo
)
ending
at
S.
Andera
(
or
S.
Andrew
)
the
time
vntill
he
set
sayle
for
England
,
was
thus
entertained
.
On
the
10
of
September
,
his
Highnesse
came
to
the
Towne
;
on
the
11.
his
whole
Fleete
,
(
being
eight
ships
of
his
Maiesties
Nauy
Royall
,
and
two
Pinnaces
)
safely
arriued
in
sight
of
the
Towne
:
the
12.13.14.15.16
.
and
17.
went
away
(
as
before
is
related
)
in
entertainments
on
shore
and
aboard
,
in
surueying
,
and
making
ready
the
Fleete
;
and
last
,
in
that
last
farewell
giuen
to
the
Spanish
Commissioners
,
which
was
on
the
14
of
September
;
after
whose
departure
,
his
Highnesse
continued
aboard
foure
dayes
,
before
he
weighed
Anchor
,
which
was
with
much
ioy
,
eleuation
of
voyces
,
thundring
of
Drums
,
and
Trumpets
,
and
that
excellent
musicall
tumult
of
Mariners
,
nimbly
running
vp
and
downe
to
set
forward
so
royall
a
businesse
.
Anchors
now
are
weighed
,
all
the
linnen
brauery
of
swelling
sailes
,
courting
the
winds
to
speed
them
in
their
iourney
:
Spanish
people
stand
vpon
the
shore
;
our
Prince
and
English
Noble
men
vpon
the
deckes
,
taking
leaues
one
of
another
in
dumbe
shewes
,
with
lookes
,
hands
,
and
hats
;
And
now
suppose
that
for
nine
dayes
&
nights
together
you
behold
his
Highnesse
and
his
Noble
attendants
,
flying
apace
towards
England
with
the
wings
of
prosperous
winds
.
But
on
the
29.
day
of
September
(
being
Michaelmas
day
)
the
Seas
grew
churlish
,
the
windes
angry
,
and
to
auoyd
their
fury
,
the
whole
Fleet
was
forced
to
put
into
the
Iland
of
Silley
,
from
whence
they
came
into
Saint
Maries
Sound
,
and
then
on
the
third
of
October
,
being
accompanied
onely
with
a
side-wind
,
they
came
merrily
forward
;
and
within
two
dayes
after
,
that
is
to
say
,
on
the
fifth
of
October
,
(
being
Sunday
)
at
nine
of
the
clocke
in
the
morning
,
his
Highnesse
,
(
with
vnspeakable
ioy
of
all
within
reach
of
such
happy
tidings
)
landed
at
Portsmouth
.
Yet
before
he
could
meet
this
happinesse
of
Landing
,
a
misfortune
had
a
minde
to
crosse
him
,
but
Heauen
would
not
suffer
it
:
for
one
of
the
ships
in
the
Fleet
had
like
to
ouer-set
him
,
but
the
malice
of
this
danger
ended
in
his
preseruation
.
Being
thus
then
in
health
and
safety
set
vpon
the
shore
,
let
vs
with
the
same
speed
follow
him
to
London
,
which
he
himselfe
makes
,
to
glad
with
his
presence
,
the
eyes
of
his
royall
Father
.
But
the
ioy
(
that
he
was
come
)
being
swifter
then
he
could
be
himselfe
,
put
both
the
Countrey
,
(
all
the
way
that
it
came
)
and
the
City
,
(
when
euen
after
midnight
it
was
entred
into
it
)
into
such
in-vtterable
expressions
of
affectionate
gladnesse
,
such
vnlimitable
&
violent
inundations
of
ioy
,
that
the
people
(
to
remember
the
comfort
they
receiued
in
their
Prince
)
seemed
to
loose
their
owne
being
,
and
to
forget
that
they
were
themselues
:
men
,
women
,
and
children
made
but
one
consort
,
and
the
musicke
of
that
consort
,
sounded
nothing
but
The
Prince
is
come
,
our
Charles
is
come
.
From
the
Noble
man
to
the
Artificer
,
if
contention
had
arose
,
which
of
them
was
fullest
of
good
wishes
,
of
glad
welcomes
,
of
lowd-resounding
acclamations
for
his
comming
,
it
had
beene
hard
to
decide
the
difference
.
So
many
Bels
were
heard
ringing
for
a
whole
day
together
,
that
a
stranger
but
newly
●●●ring
the
Citie
,
might
haue
thought
here
,
〈◊〉
●eene
spoken
no
other
language
,
all
language
else
being
drowned
.
So
infinite
were
the
Bonefires
,
so
costly
,
and
so
high
flaming
,
that
had
they
all
beene
seene
burning
in
the
night-time
,
that
weeke
might
haue
boasted
,
it
had
gotten
one
day
more
than
any
other
weeke
in
the
yeere
,
so
vniuersall
was
the
light
.
The
day
was
foule
and
rainy
,
but
there
were
artificiall
Sun-beames
in
euery
streete
to
dry
vp
the
showres
.
What
need
I
busie
my selfe
againe
to
draw
forth
this
English
Master-peece
of
ours
,
when
euery
man
carries
the
picture
of
it
in
his
bosome
!
It
will
be
a
legacie
for
yong
men
when
they
grow
old
,
to
reade
(
by
the
fire
side
)
the
Chronicle
of
this
day
to
their
children
.
Let
vs
leape
therefore
from
land
againe
and
behold
at
Sea
one
remarkable
accident
,
with
which
his
Highnesse
happily
encountred
in
his
passage
homewards
.
And
that
was
this
.
About
a
day
before
they
put
in
at
Silley
,
a
great
thundring
of
Ordnance
beat
round
about
the
aire
,
in
so
much
that
in
a
short
time
after
,
the
fire
of
the
peeces
was
a
farre
off
easily
discerned
.
The
Fleet
approching
neerer
and
neerer
,
certaine
Dunkerkers
&
Hollanders
were
at
it
pell
mell
:
Hereupon
two
Ships
of
his
Highnesse
Fleet
,
called
the
seauen
Starres
and
the
Rainbow
(
being
the
formost
of
the
rest
)
gaue
them
a
Shot
and
haild
them
;
vpon
which
first
came
vp
foure
Shippes
singled
from
the
rest
,
who
being
asked
what
they
were
?
they
answerd
Men
of
Warre
,
and
of
Dunkerks
:
Our
Men
bid
them
goe
to
the
Lee-ward
,
and
speake
to
the
Prince
of
England
;
they
presently
did
so
,
and
went
vnder
our
Princes
Sterne
.
Then
came
vp
5.
Ships
more
,
they
being
likewise
hailed
,
came
;
&
being
demanded
what
they
were
?
they
answered
,
Holland
Men
of
Warre
;
these
also
were
bidden
to
go
to
the
Lee-ward
,
and
speake
to
the
Prince
of
England
.
These
comming
then
vnder
the
Princes
Sterne
,
as
the
other
had
done
before
;
his
Highnesse
commanded
them
to
hoyse
out
their
Boates
,
and
the
Captaines
of
either
side
to
come
aboard
:
they
did
so
;
and
the
cause
of
their
fighting
being
examined
by
the
Prince
,
it
was
found
that
the
foure
Dunkerkers
comming
out
for
them
,
made
after
them
,
&
chased
them
to
fight
.
His
Highnesse
vnderstanding
by
their
own
relations
the
truth
of
their
Quarrell
,
told
them
that
since
it
was
their
fortune
to
fall
into
his
Company
,
hee
would
perswade
them
to
bee
at
peace
,
and
to
giue
ouer
the
Chase
,
and
to
bid
farewell
one
to
another
.
The
Hollander
seemed
vnwilling
to
this
,
vrging
rather
the
contrary
;
but
his
Highnesse
(
out
of
a
noble
desire
to
saue
the
shedding
of
bloud
)
vsed
many
gracious
mediations
to
draw
them
to
peace
,
and
preuailed
so
much
at
that
time
,
as
that
they
parted
friends
&
vpon
equall
termes
;
And
for
preuention
of
returning
to
their
Quarrell
,
his
Highnes
set
them
one
from
the
other
some
good
distance
off
,
and
so
let
them
goe
.

Memorable
therefore
for
euer
amongst
vs
,
bee
the
fift
day
of
October
,
for
our
Prince
his
ioyfull
Arriuall
here
in
England
,
after
so
many
tempests
at
Sea
,
and
hazardous
Aduentures
by
Land
,
in
his
passage
through
other
Kings
Dominions
:
As
those
two
other
fift
daies
stand
remarkable
to
the
end
of
the
world
;
viz.
the
fift
of
August
,
and
fift
of
Nouember
;
the
first
for
the
particular
preseruation
of
our
King
;
the
second
,
for
the
generall
deliuery
of
our
Country
.
Let
one
red
Letter
more
bee
now
added
to
our
Calendar
,
&
an
Anniuersary
held
with
thanksgiuing
to
God
,
and
with
Belles
and
Bonefires
,
testifying
the
ioy
of
the
people
in
memory
of
so
inestimable
a
happinesse
.
And
now
to
shut
vp
this
short
Discourse
with
a
matter
worthy
obseruation
:
What
an
vnexpected
comfort
was
mixed
with
the
misfortunes
of
those
9.
Prisoners
.
(
7.
Men
and
2.
Women
)
when
the
very
sound
of
a
Princes
Name
stayed
the
hand
of
the
Law
from
striking
them
?
Ioy
did
so
transport
the
soule
of
the
whole
Kingdome
,
that
death
was
loth
to
do
his
Office
euen
vpon
those
poore
condemned
Wretches
:
Mercy
set
a
Portcullis
before
the
gates
of
Iustice
,
so
that
when
her
sword
was
vpon
drawing
to
cut
off
the
liues
of
9.
miserable
Creatures
,
the
very
breath
of
our
Princes
comming
put
the
blow
by
:
In
stead
of
that
charitable
Bell
,
which
at
the
end
of
euerie
Sessions
,
is
with
a
dolefull
sound
rung
out
after
mid-night
,
to
put
condemned
persons
in
remembrance
of
their
end
,
which
is
to
be
the
next
morning
,
the
poore
soules
were
cheered
vp
,
with
peales
from
a
thousand
Belles
long
before
breake
of
day
,
so
that
in
stead
of
being
cald
downe
out
of
the
Iayle
to
go
to
their
deaths
,
they
came
as
ioyfully
from
their
Dungeon
,
as
if
they
had
beene
to
haue
gone
to
a
Wedding
.
Neither
hath
this
abundant
grace
and
mercy
of
the
Prince
giuen
glad
hearts
and
thankfull
tongues
to
these
9.
only
(
their
Pardons
being
now
signd
)
but
it
flyeth
like
a
gentle
gale
of
Wind
,
into
all
the
Prisons
of
the
Land
,
to
fanne
comfort
,
and
freedome
,
to
all
such
as
lie
imprisoned
or
condemned
for
petty
Crimes
.
Last
