A57799 A royall story, for loyall readers For they intended mischiefe against thee, and imagined such a device as they are not able to performe.

't is probable take this advantage to renew their arguments of disswasion And His Majesty was no doubt at a great straite what to resolve to take notice of pittyed MONTROSSE either by word or looke I may say His Majesty durst not though he dared do any thing heaven should command lest then the squinting Commissioners should grow jealous of his love to them by any kindnesse His Majesty might shew to his deare MONTROSSE'S memory if His Majesty should goe with them now He saw well that that party that had contributed to the Execution of his Royall Fathers Person had already executed his owne present power in His Commission to brave MONTROSSE and therefore if His Majesty went 't was with apparant danger to His owne life If he stayd he knew not which way to turne himselfe that yeare must needs be quite lost for all the Offers and Officers from Denmark and Sweden and all other asistance the Scots had rejected as able to do the businesse they intended alone besides His Majesty should be strangely look'd on the world over And more then this His Majesties word was passed and no other visible means left for His Majesty to bee active towards His Crownes at present after all which considerations Heaven inclines the Kings heart and His Majesty most cheerfully approves and on Sunday morning 9. of June stilo novo 1650. before the Sun appeared was His Majesty taking Coach for Trehagh and so to take shipping divers of His Majesties Lords and Servants having beene aboard three or foure daies before in His Majesties ship and divers of the Scots Commissioners and Priests had beene as long in their ship a noble young Lord and my selfe having on the Saturday evening come off from His Majesties Ship were onely after His Majesties departure from Hounslowdike left there behinde condoling His Majesties condition and following him with our prayers for Heavens protection His Majesty had not been gone two houres my Lord and my selfe retiring to the next harbour to refresh before we tooke Boat for the Hague but in comes a waggon full of those Priest-ridden Commissioners and those Commissioner-ridden Priests such a Gallimofery of ill looks I know not how to expresse them enquiring strictly for His Majesty whom we soon let know that His Majesty was newly gone at which they seemed much troubled and going into the next roome to us they drew out their papers and perused them in consultation what next to do by which and their ill-boding countenances we easily guessed that they had brought some new tormenting Propositions and so soone after we heard they had received sent to them from the power in Scotland after Marquesse MONTROSSE was shamefully butchered which 't is believed were so much higher then formerly that His Majesty could not with honour have granted but would rather in probability have dissolved the Treaty which was their designe intending as t is thought having now freed themselves of their feares of MONTROSSE no more complyance with His Majesty rather choosing to adhere to the fortune of their swords But a good providence had before these tormentors could recover the Sea shore again safely conveyed His Majesty on Shipboard so the Commissioners they take Shipping too and His Majesty with three ships only of Hollands men of Warre sets sayle for Scotland relying on heaven as His best Convoy under the shaddow of whose wings he shall not miscarry which brought him in his time to a desired Port His Majesty had no sooner quitted the Holland shore but the three new-built English rebell Friggots the best that ever were called the faithfull Speaker the President and the FAIRFAX came upon the Holland Coast in quest of the King sending to the Hague they found the King was newly gone thereupon set sayle Northwards in pursuance of His Majesty whom after they had sought two dayes with a brave gale of winde they came upon the North Coast of England neare Scotland where missing the Kings Fleet they called a Counsell at which 't was concluded that if the King had the same winde with them whereof there was no doubt then His Majesty by that time must needs be in Scotland setting sayl a day at least before them so the Counsell resolved to sayle according to their former orders towards the West of England quitting all hopes of their old trade of King-catching for that bout This Relation ANTH. YOUNG Captaine of the President made to me Whereas His Majesty was three and twenty dayes at Sea blessed as it proved with contrary windes and crossed as they thought then with calmes so that His Majesty was forced to put into an Island in the King of Denmarks dominions for fresh provisions where His Majesty himselfe in a disguise went on shore and soone returned and at length they came neare the Scottish ground very far Northwards so far that they out went night being able to read under decks the smallest print when 't was least light and when the King with his Fleet came to the mouth of Straboggy on one side of the harbour a squadron of the English Rebell Ships which had layen thereabouts as an ambushment for his Majesty haveing their expectation of him wearied then sayled outwards on the otherside so neare were they meeting each other that they on the shore looked with no small admiration whilst one party was sayling in and the other out But by reason of a thick Scottish mist that then fell they were indiscernable each to other at least the Rebell English did not espy the Royall Fleet God being to them as to the Israelites of old a cloud to conceale them from their English Enemies indeed Scotch ones had then possession of his Majesties Person as more clearely every day appeared for before his Majesty was permitted to land they offered a disloyall violence to his Majesties righteous Soule and 't is admirable to observe the wonders that God wrought in the deepe for His Majesties Preservation so far for in all probability had His Majesty not set saile when he did neither sooner nor later had He had one gale of winde more or one calme lesse or any thing but what God did now apparently then allot for Him His Majesty had beene made a prey to His devouring Enemies or entombed in the monumentall Ocean But his Majesty thankes be to God safely lands at Straboggy in the Highlands being entertained the first night by the Loyal Marquis HUNTLEY at his house and that being so far Northwards proves no small advantage to His Affaires for the people all the way came in to see seeing admire and admiring love with honour their distressed but made by Gods blessing on their affection a most hopefull Prince Whereas had His Majesty landed nearer St. Johnstones if possibly he could yet in all probability it had been very unhappy for when His Majesty comes thither though they salute him with haile Master King of Jewes indeed yet they cut Him short in reallity not admitting His Majesty
