<P><HI>_CHARLES ST&V;ART</HI>
&s;its upon the Globe, in
a melancholly po&s;ture,
between hope and fear,
hee fixeth his eyes up|on
<HI>Brittainy</HI> and <HI>Ireland,</HI> and viewes
not onely Europe, but the world in

onely a fooles bawble to be their light
to walke by, mirth of their own whim|&s;ies
to keep up their &s;pirits, and a &s;hea|thed
&s;word to tru&s;t in. And a fooles
cap was the be&s;t peece they had to

<P>1 While he called upon Duke <HI>Hambleton</HI> to &s;tirre up his

<P>2 Whil&s;t Major <HI>Cobbet</HI> was entring on the one &s;ide of his

&s;even a clock that night with a party of Hor&s;e po&s;ted
away from Worce&s;ter, flying towards Scotland.</P>
<P>3 The next day being September 4th. <HI>Charles Stuart</HI> the
Scots King, with the Duke of <HI>Buckingham</HI> and the Lord
<HI>Wilmot</HI> came to a Country-mans hou&s;e in Che&s;hire that
&s;tood alone, and asked for Victuals; the man told them he
had none fit to entertaine his Maje&s;ty, but if they plea&s;ed to
light, he would get what the Country would afford; but
&s;eeing them&s;elves di&s;covered they were afraid, and yet being
very hungry and dry, asked for any thing they had, and &s;ome
cold powthered Beefe was brought to them; the Scots
King drunke off a Flaggon of Beere, and with a peece of
Bread in one hand, and of Beefe in the other, the others
al&s;o having got each a &s;lice away they all rid, and that mor|ning
marched into the borders of Lanca&s;hire, and all that
day after lay clo&s;e in a hollow Tree, turning loo&s;e their
Hor&s;es at a farre di&s;tance before they came to the place
where they re&s;ided.</P>
<P>4 On the fourth of September at night, they came like
&s;o many Hermits, or <HI>Diogenes's</HI> out of their Tubs, and went
a Pilgrimage all that night on foot,</P>
<P>5 The next day, Septemb. 5. they betooke them&s;elves
to hide them in a Wood, and got among Thickets to hide
them&s;elves as well as they could, and got &s;ome Hips and
Hawes, and &s;uch things as they could conveniently get
(without venturning too farre) in the Wood, where every
noy&s;e put them into a feare of being &s;urprized.</P>
<P>6 On the fifth of September at night they went on their
journey.</P>
<P>7 On the &s;ixth of September, they came early in the mor|ning
to a Shepherds Tent, which they &s;urpri&s;ed, and called
to the Shepherd, who when he had opened the doores, they
kept him in the Hou&s;e, and would not let him goe out, nor
his Wife, but di&s;cour&s;ed about the Gentry thereabouts, by
meanes whereof they came to know that a Lady in which
they had &s;ome confidence Lived neare, whither they ha&s;ted
with all &s;peed; and the Lord <HI>Wilmote</HI> comming to the doore
got admittance to the Lady, and prevailed with her to give
them all po&s;&s;ible a&s;&s;i&s;tance; and the Scots King being come
to the Lady, and having &s;aluted her, they &s;ate in Coun&s;ell to
con&s;ider how the bu&s;ine&s;&s;e &s;hould be ordered, and it was a|greed,
and accordingly done.</P>
<P>1 That they &s;hould have their haire cut in the Country fa|&s;hion,
like plaine Country Fellowes, which was done accor|dingly.</P>
<P>2 That they &s;hould weare plaine Country fa&s;hioned cloathes,
which were pre&s;ently got for them.</P>
<P>3 That they &s;hould be reputed to be Servants to the &s;aid
Lady.</P>
<P>4 That in this pretence &s;he &s;hould goe with them to Bri&s;tol, or
&s;ome other Port, to endeavour the tran&s;porting of them beyond
the Seas.</P>
<P>8 On the &s;eaventh and eighth dayes of September they
lay there, and waited on the Lady in &s;everall offices, and
places, and the Scots King him&s;elfe &s;tood bare before her
when he waited on her, as well as the re&s;t.</P>
<P>9 On the ninth of September, they tooke an intended
voyage for Bri&s;tol, and the Scots King rid before the Lady
on one Hor&s;e, the Duke of <HI>Buckingham</HI> before her Gentle|woman
upon another Hor&s;e, and the Lord <HI>Wilmot</HI> as her
Groome upon an Hor&s;e by him&s;elfe.</P>
<P>10 About the middle of September they got to Bri&s;tol,
but they heard in their Inne &s;o great talke what &s;earch was
made after them, that they pre&s;ently tooke Hor&s;e, not da|ring
to &s;tay there, and away they came for London.</P>
<P>11 About the twentyeth of September they got to
London, and went abroad &s;ometimes in the mornings, and
at evenings, but generally lay very clo&s;e all day, and the
Scots King and <HI>Wilmot</HI> waited upon the Lady at one Lodg|ing,
and the Duke of <HI>Buckingham</HI> waited as a Serving-man
to the Gentlewoman at another.</P>
<P>12 About the latter end of September, the Scots King
with the Lady came to &s;ee his. Souldiers in the Tuttle Fields
at We&s;tmin&s;ter, and the Lady threw them &s;ome monies, but
they &s;tayed not.</P>
<P>13 Another day the Scots King came into We&s;tmin&s;ter
Hall, and viewed the States Armes over the places of Judi|catory,
and viewed the Scots Colours hanging on both
&s;ides the Hall, that were taken from his Father, and from
him.</P>
<P>14 The Lord <HI>Wilmot</HI> procured a Merchant to hire a &s;hip
of forty tuns to tran&s;port them, which co&s;t them 120. l.</P>
<P>15. About the middle of October having taken leave of,
and thanked the Lady, with many &s;alutations and promi&s;es,
to Graves-end they went, and from thence on, and a &s;hip|board.</P>
<P>16 As &s;oon as my Lord was entred the Barque, and the
King as his Servant; the Ma&s;ter of the Ve&s;&s;ell came to
my Lord, and told him, that he knew the King, and told him,
That in ca&s;e it &s;hould be known he could expect no mercy;
which &s;aying troubled them: But at length what with
mony and promi&s;es, they prevailed, and &s;o &s;et &s;aile for
<HI>Havre de Grace,</HI> where they landed; and from thence to
<HI>Roven,</HI> where they cloathed them&s;elves, and writ to <HI>Pa|ris.</HI></P>
<P>17 The late Queen of <HI>England</HI> his Mother receiving an
expre&s;&s;e from him, made pre&s;ent &s;upplication to the King
of <HI>France</HI> for his reception, in which the Queen Mother was
no little active with her, and &s;o he was permitted, and an
Expre&s;&s;e &s;ent to the Duke of <HI>Orleans</HI> for in&s;tructions there|in.</P>
<P>18 An&s;wer was returned back to appoint him <HI>Je&s;&s;e</HI> by
the way of <HI>Rhoane,</HI> and &s;ome &s;upplyes of money from his
Mother was &s;ent to him; for his better accommodation in
the way.</P>
<P>19 The Scots King being upon his march &s;ent an Ex|pre&s;&s;e,
giving many thanks for the courte&s;ie, and inform|ing
his intentions to be at <HI>Maguy</HI> the 28 (<HI>alias</HI> 18) <HI>October:</HI>
and hee being adverti&s;ed that there &s;hould bee provi&s;ions
made for him at the <HI>Louver,</HI> he &s;ent word that he intended
the 29 (<HI>alias</HI> 19 pre&s;ent) to goe from <HI>Maguy</HI> thither.
On the &s;aid 28 of <HI>October,</HI> (which was the Saturday) the
Scots King had laine the night then p&s;t within a dayes
journey of <HI>Maguy;</HI> from whence came an Expre&s;&s;e to his
Royall Highne&s;&s;e the Duke of <HI>Orleance,</HI> as al&s;o Letters from
his Mother.</P>
<P>20 The Duke of <HI>Orleance</HI> &s;ent forth &s;ome Coaches from
<HI>Paris,</HI> to meet him at <HI>Maguy,</HI> where he lay that night.</P>
<P>21 And the next day being the Lords Day,
Scots King came to <HI>Paris,</HI> being met a little from the
Townes end by the Duke of <HI>Orleance</HI> and &s;ome others.
His Highne&s;&s;e the Duke of <HI>Orleance</HI> conducted the Scots
King through part of the City to the Louver, but with no
&s;mall di&s;content of the Citizens, who are &s;ome of them rea|dy
to mutiny about it, and yet many flocked to &s;ee him, and
among&s;t tho&s;e divers mocked and jeered; &s;o that the great
re&s;ort &s;eemed to be rather in deri&s;ion and &s;corn, then out of
any good will.</P>
<P>His Mother knew &s;o well the di&s;-affections of the people,
that &s;he did not come along at all with him, nor did meet
him, untill &s;he heard that he was come
to the Louver, and then pre&s;ently &s;he
repaired to him.</P>
<P>She hath &s;pent mo&s;t part of her time
of late about the rai&s;ing of a Fabrick at
<HI>Chaliot,</HI> for the making of a Nunnery,
from whence &s;he now came to vi&s;it
her &s;on.</P>
<P>22 There was then a grave Coun|cell
held at the <HI>Louver,</HI> of the Scots
King, the Duke of <HI>Orleance,</HI> the late
Queene of <HI>England,</HI> and &s;ome others,
who after &s;ome complements, re|quired
a Narrative of the Engli&s;h Af|faires,
the relation whereof produ|ced
&s;ome laughter, at the rediculou&s;|ne&s;&s;e
of his condition.</P>

taking there, fir&s;t in the Fort, and
after in his Chamber:</P>
<P>How he di&s;gui&s;ed him&s;elfe and
went from County to County, and
what &s;hift he made for victualls and
lodging.</P>
<P>Sometimes being driven to beg
a peece of bread and meat, and ride
with bread in one hand and meat in
the other.</P>
<P>And &s;ometimes &s;etting a Guard
about a little Cottage while hee
re&s;ted there untill the morning.
That he went up and down <HI>London,</HI>
