<SALUTE>SIR,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>I Don't que&s;tion but you have heard of His Maje&s;ty's being &s;ix|teen Hours in a Longboat among&s;t the Ice, with great Hazard of His Per&s;on: He went off in a Fog, &s;uppo&s;ing him&s;elf to be upon the Coa&s;t, when he was at lea&s;t four Leagues off: He entred the <HI>Hague</HI> privately, and ye&s;terday made his Publick Entrance, being importuned to do it by the States; who had put them&s;elves to a pro|digious Expence, to entertain him with Splendor and Magnificence &s;u|table to the high Character of &s;o mighty a Monarch. Fir&s;t, His own Coaches moved, then &s;ome of the Nobility, then &s;ome of the Nobi|lity of <HI>Holland</HI> very well mounted; then his own particular Coach, which was very plain, him&s;elf in a Cloak; and at his left hand &s;ate the Lord <HI>Overkirk,</HI> in the Back part of the Coach were the Duke of <HI>Ormond</HI> and the Lord <HI>Scarbrough,</HI> he was followed by the Duke of <HI>Nor|folk</HI>'s Coach, and the Re&s;t of the Nobility in order, the Footmen bare, and the Pages behind the Coaches, the Proce&s;&s;ion began without the <HI>Hague,</HI> and moved through three Triumphal Arches; the be&s;t and la&s;t of which was before the Gates of the Court, 'tis of the <HI>Dorick</HI> Order, and built after the manner of <HI>Hadrian</HI>'s at <HI>Rome.</HI> I have &s;ent you the be&s;t of their Devices, and by them you may form to your &s;elf a Con|jecture of the re&s;t.</P>
<P>In the Corni&s;h of the la&s;t Triumphal Arch, (which as I have be|fore &s;ignified to you, is the be&s;t of the Three) there is the following In&s;cription in large Capital <HI>Roman</HI> Letters.</P>
<P><Q LANG="lat">Pio, Felici, Inclyto,<LB>
<HI>Gulielmo</HI> Tertio, triumphanti<LB>
Patriae Patri<LB>
Gubernatori <HI>P. C. L P.</HI><LB>
Re&s;tauratori Belgii Foederati,<LB>
Liberatori Angliae,<LB>
Servatori Scotiae,<LB>
Pacificatori Hiberniae,<LB>
Reduci.</Q></P>
<P>In Engli&s;h thus:
<Q>To the Pious, Happy, Re|nowned <HI>William</HI> the Third, Tri|umphant, the Father of his Country, the Governour of <HI>P. C. L P.</HI> Re&s;torer of the <HI>United Provinces,</HI> Deliverer of <HI>England,</HI> the Pre&s;erver of <HI>Scotland,</HI> the Peace-Maker of <HI>Ireland,</HI> upon his &s;afe Return.</Q></P>
<P><PB N="2" REF="2"><!-- PDF PAGE 19 -->
Near this was another Device with three Crowns in a Scale, weighed down by a Sword with, this Motto:
<Q LANG="lat"><HI>Praemia non aequant.</HI></Q>
<Q LANG="eng">The Rewards do'nt equal his Service.</Q></P>
<P>Then another of a young Eagle &s;oaring towards the Sun in its Glory, with this:
<Q LANG="lat"><HI>Tener adver&s;is innititur alis.</HI></Q>
<Q LANG="eng">Tho young, he boldly &s;oars again&s;t the Sun.</Q></P>
<P>Another with a Phenix expiring, with this:
<Q LANG="eng"><HI>Praelucet Po&s;thuma proles.</HI></Q>
<Q LANG="eng">A Po&s;thumous Off-Spring out-&s;hines.</Q></P>
<P>Another with a Galley under &s;ail, with this:
<Q LANG="lat"><HI>Alter erit Tiphys.</HI></Q>
<Q LANG="eng">There &s;hall be another <HI>Tiphys.</HI></Q></P>
<P>Another of a Lyon and Unicorn, the latter holding his Horn over Toads and Serpents, with this:
<Q LANG="lat"><HI>Viru&s;que fugant, vire&s;que repellunt.</HI></Q> 
<Q LANG="eng">This Poi&s;on cures, and that does Force repel.</Q></P>
<P>In one of the Atticks is this In&s;cription:
<Q LANG="lat"><HI>Gulielmum</HI> Po&s;thumum<LB>
Britannorum Aurantiumque tertium<LB>
Patriae Spem,<LB>
<UNCLEAR>Re&s;p. Palladium.</UNCLEAR></Q>
<Q LANG="eng"><HI>William</HI> the Po&s;thumous, the third of that Name, of <HI>Britain</HI> and <HI>Orange,</HI> the Hope of his Country, the <HI><UNCLEAR>Pal|ladium</UNCLEAR></HI> <UNCLEAR>of the Common Wealth</UNCLEAR>.</Q></P>
<P>Another of <HI>Europa</HI> with her Arms di&s;played, and the Bull near her, with this Motto:
<Q LANG="lat"><HI>Eripiet Mi&s;eram.</HI></Q>
<Q LANG="eng">He will deliver her from her Mi&s;ery.</Q></P>
<P>The Fire-Works at Night were extremely curious, and the <HI>Burghers</HI> at the <HI>Hague</HI> were in Arms all the day. Here are no Princes here as yet, but the Duke of <HI>Brandenburgh;</HI> and he is at pre&s;ent <HI>incognito;</HI> The Dukes of <HI>Bavaria</HI> and <HI>Zell</HI> are daily expected. <HI>Tromp</HI> is made Ad|miral, to the General Satisfaction of the People here, who expect won|derful Performances from him this Summer. In &s;hort, Sir, you may imagine what a Glorious Appearance we &s;hall have here at the <HI>Hague,</HI> when the re&s;t of the Confederate Princes, who are now upon their Journy to this Place, are arrived; &s;ince the Figure we make at pre&s;ent is &s;carce capable of a De&s;cription. I am in ha&s;te, and mu&s;t beg your Pardon for breaking off &s;o abruptly.</P>
