[...]y▪ though they knew▪ He had no
money to pay them, and truly ther's no Nation
[Page 3] can parallel such a love; The
German will speak high words of his love to the
Keysar, the
Sp

French will cry out
Vivele Roy, but not one of them will stir a f
[...]ot for
King or
Keysar, without money, for their pay, and hopes of som recompence besides; which
the Spaniard▪ useth
[...]o claim as his due by the name of
Ay
[...]l
[...] de costas; To this purpose ther is a notable passage that happen'd twixt
P
[...] the Second and a
T
[...]ledo Cap
[...]ain,
who being return'd from the wars of the Netherlands, went to see the King, who was then at the
Escurial.
‘It was the Captains chance to meet
Him (incognito) as he was a hunting ther, being alone, and strayed from his servants, the King saluting the Captain a
[...]k'd him where he was going? he said, that he was lately returned from
Flanders, with his Wounds and Sca
[...]s about him to give
D
[...]n Pbelippe
[...] account of his se
[...]ices, and to demand a reward of him; The King ask'd, whether he had his Sala
[...]y payed him?
[...], quoth he, I must confess I
[...]ve th
[...]ugh I stayed somtimes long enough for i
[...], but I am come now for an
Ay
[...]d
[...] de costas, for som Reward besides; But, put case the King will not do it▪ th
[...] Captain answer'd,
Voto a di
[...]
[...]u
[...]b
[...]s
[...] mi mula en el culo, If he will no
[...]
let him kis
[...] my M
[...]e in the t
[...]yl; Thereupon the King with a smile ask'd his
[Page 4] name, who told him he was call'd Captain
Rodrigo del Rio; The King said Senior Captain
Rodrigo I see you are a stout man, the Counsel of war sits to morrow, where if you make your addresses, and bring with you a
sufficient certificat of your services, I shall procure you admittance to the King and Counsel, by giving your name to the door-keeper before hand; The next day the Captain being let in, and seeing the King with all the Counsel bare about him, the King told him, well Captain, do you remember what you said yesterday, and what the King shold do to your Mule, if he gave you no Reward extraordinary? The Captain being nothing at all daunted, said,
truly Sir, my Mule is ready at the Court-gate, if ther be occasion. The King liking the stoutness of the man commanded 400. Crowns to be given him, and 2000. Rialls for an annual pension during life:’ The condition of the English Cavaliers is much more considerable, for the
Spanish Captain had all his
arreares pay'd him, which our Cavaliers have not; now, ther is no A
[...]tizan or Labourer whatsoever that deserves his hire, more then the Soldier, who besides his hard duties and toyle, ventures both life and lim for his wages.
Then comes the Author of the Cordiall in an
[Page 5] humble way, to speak of His Majesties condition at present, how lightly the Coffers of the Crown are yet ballasted, what vast summes have bin taken out of them to discharge such indispensable arrears, and how unable he is to do what he so heartily intends, with what convenient speed he may; Then he gives a touch at some Roundheads that were rais'd, who, computed with the Civaliers, are not
one for
twenty, which, under favor, holds tru, take all professions together; for go to the Church ther are twenty five Bishops for one; go to Deans, Canons, Prebends, ther is forty to one; go to the parochial Ministers, wherof ther be above 9000. in the Land, ther is above fifty to one; go to the Universities, how many Heads of Houses, and Fellows of Colledges have bin thrust out, and Cavaliers put in their rooms? go to the City, scarce any Roundhead hath receav'd favor. The Lieutenant of the Tower and six Commissioners of the Custom house, with divers other Officers, all Cavaliers; go to the twelve Judges ther are ten to two; go to the Sargeants, with other Officers at Law, go to the Army and Life-guard; go to the Court above and below stairs, the odds more then twenty to one holds for the Cavalier: Tis tru, fom few are crept in into Offices, but 'tis for their
[Page 6]
mon y, whereof I beleeve the King hath no knowledg (and 'tis only God Almighty is
omniscious.) Touching those
Lords of the Privy-counsel, I take leave to say, that we stood without the Curtain and could not see what was contriv'd within, for His Majesties coming over, where the Consultation of the said Privy counsellors with other choice Lords and Persons (that were the Kings Confidents to that end) did very much avail to bring the business about; though indeed, as the case then stood, it may be said that no humane wit or power, but it was pure
Omnipoten ce which did the work: But let it not offend any to remember, that divers great Kings have bin enforc'd to raise and reward
those that were once their very enemies for a time; The Kings of
France, at the pacification of
Nants, and the Treaty of
Loudun, were, by
Article, to confer
honors, in lieu of
punishments, upon divers who in open Field fought against them; and the last King was to remove his bosomest Counsellor from him, as
Sillery, and others; that Hee shold approve of all actions pass'd as done for his service, &c. And all this by public Edict, which was
verified by Parlement. In such a posture, it seems, were things in our
Edward the Seconds time, when dining in Westminster-Hall upon a great Festival, ther
[Page 7] came a Minstrell-woman on horse-back to shew som sports, and going about the Table she left a paper behind, as
Stow hath it in his Survey of
London page 521. as also
Daniel in his History of
Edward the Second, which paper was as followeth,
Our Soverain Lord the King hath nothing courteously respected His Knights that, in his Fathers time, and also in His own, have put forth their Persons to divers perils, and have utterly lost or greatly diminish'd their substances, to the Honor of the said King, and he hath enrich'd abundantly such as have not born the weight, as yet, of the businesse.
The Author of the Cordial proceeds then to His Majesties great
clemency, wherat som seem to except; 'Tis tru in som cases,
That he who spares the guilty wrongs the innocent; And 'tis as tru, that th
Innocence of a Cavalier is to be prefer'd before the
Repentance of a Roundhead; But the World knows what Rules of
Mercy His Father (of ever blessed Memory) prescribes him in his sacred Legacies; Moreover, ther's a world of examples how, after a Civil War, such Acts of Indemnity, such Amnestia's and general pardons were granted of necessity, for if the Law were permitted to pass in such cases, the King might hang up half his Subjects; yet, it cannot be denyed, but that it is a very sad case, that one shold have my Horses in his stables,
[Page 8] my Hangings and Housh old-stuff in his House my Oxen in his plough, my Books in his study, my Jewels upon his wifes fingers, which he had rob'd me of, with other things, and that I shold not have the benefit of the Law to recover them; yet, touching
that, let it be also consider'd how many hundred Cavaliers have bin restor'd since to their
Real Estates, and Offices, which, though it cannot be call'd properly a
Reward, yet it is a cleer
benefit we receav'd by the Kings coming, which benefit we were in despair of but twenty Moneths since.
Then the
Author goes on with som encouragements, not as if he went about to read a lecture of
patience, it being not only an unseasonable thing, but a peece of impertinency, to preach patience to those who are upon point of sinking or starving; as, God wot, too many of the
Royalists are; only He gives a hint, that they shold stil keep up their spirits, ther being no doubt but that His Majesty being so so
[...]sible of their condition, and the Parlement being made up of so many Worthy and discerning Gentlemen, they will put
Him in a capacity to take
them into due and speedy consideration, as it is well hoped they will do upon their
Re-accesse, 10 which purpose that
Cordial may do more good then they are aware.
[Page 9] To conclude, he who with a sober and wellbiass'd judgment will examine that
Cordial, will find, that ther is never a Line, Word, or Syllable therin, but breaths out the spirit of a perfect Cavalier, as above twenty other several
peeces of the same Author publish'd upon Emergent occasions, do breath besides, ther is no fretful
drug, or the least Corrosive
dram in it, but all gentle
lenitifs, therfore he wonders how it should stir up such
Malignant humors in any, unless it were in them, who having somthing lying upon the
stomack, made wrong use of that
Cordial to cast it up.
In fine, the Author of that
Cordial is very confident, that ther will be such a noble consideration had of the Cavaliers, that they shall have cause to say to His Majesty, as the Grave of
Fustemburg said to
Charles the Fift after the Wars of
Saxony, who having don notable exploits in that War, and the Emperour acknowledging it, Sir, said he,
If ther be occasion again, I will feed upon one arm, and fight with the other, to do your Majesty service.
For the fuller Infomatrion of the Reader, the
Cordial it self followes.
A CORDIAL FOR THE Cavaliers.
Worthy, and Deserving Gentlemen,
IN the Affairs and traverses of this life, it is a tru Rule (and 'tis a comfortable one).
That he who dischargeth a good Conscience, of his Own, wherewith to reward Himself, though he receive no compensation from any where else: The World knows, and Envy it self doth acknowledg, That in the late Confusions (which were of that length that might have shaken the firmest Spirits in their Loyalty) you have discharg'd a
Good Conscience three ways, towards your
Creator, towards your
Country, and towards your
King; your
Religion bound you to the One,
Nature to the Other, and your
Alleageance to the Third; And although many of you have not yet receiv'd what you expected for the
two last, yet touching the
first (wherunto the other conduce) you are sure to have such a
Reward one day, that will not onely be above all
[Page 11]
Merit, but beyond all
Imagination, in the Kingdom of Eternity.
Adde hereunto, that I hold your Condition to be far from being desperat, but that you may receive rewards, at least som Consideration from the other Two,
viz from your King and Country; For the present Parlement, which represents your whole Country, being compos'd of so many Wise, and well-weighed Gentlemen (wherof divers hath bin
Co sufferers with you) will, as it is well hoped, out of a sense therof, have such reflections upon your Sufferings and Services, both Active and Passive, that they will enable his Majesty, whom the Law stiles,
The Fountain of Honor and Bounty, and wherof indeed no other
Power shold partake with
Him, I say it may well be hoped, that this
Parlement, before their Recess, will put His Majesty in a Capacity, and humbly Advise
Him, if not to
Reward you, yet to
Relieve your present wants in such a measure, that the Steed may not starve, while the grass grows.
You know well that the King hath bin among us but a little more then the compass of one year, and his Grandfather
Henry the
Great of
France, was above 7 years (which is an
Age in our Law) before he could requite those, who stuck to him not much above 20 months, in making him Master of the
[Page 12]
Elowerdeluces; You know the vast debts His Majesty hath pay'd both by Sea and Land, which yet were not his
own, nor his
Kingdoms, but of that accursed usurping
Commonwealth, which exhausted more of the publick Treasure, then all the Kings of this Land, since gold and silver was first coind in its you know He is so shortned, that He hath not yet provided bread for all of his own house; He is in such a condition, that He cannot give his
Royal Aunt that treatment which might be expected; He hath not wherwith to go his
Progress: Consider what vast expences his
Fleets at Sea, his
Life-guard, with other Garrisons do stand him in, as also what debts he drew upon himself so many years beyond the Seas, for his necessary subsistence, &c.
Novv, vvhereas som object he hath revvarded
Roundheads, Truly I believe if a Catalogue vvere made of those upon vvhom he hath confer'd Honor or Office since his Return, ther vvill be found above tvventy
Cavaliers for one of any other upon vvhom he hath set any marks of Favour. 'Tis tru, albeit he came not in
by the
Presbyterian, yet he could not have come in
without him so peaceably, though som alledg that vvhat the
Presbyterian did, vvas not as much out of a
Love to the King, as out of a
Hatred he bore to the
Independent, vvho may be said to have
[Page 13] us'd the
Presbyterian a
[...] the
Fox useth to deal vvith the
Badger, vvho having found out his Chamber in the Earth,
[...]
[...]o betrayeth it, that the
Badger comes thither no more, and so the
Fox makes himself master of the hole.
Wheras som except against his Majesties lenity, and indulgence, let them know that
Mercy is the inseparable Inmate of a magnanimous brest, and that the noblest way of Revenge is to forget, and scorn injuries; I have read in story, that one thing which made
Lewis the twelf of
France most famous was a Speech which drop'd from
Him, when being advis'd by som of his Counsell to punish such and such as were profess'd Enemies unto
Him while
He was
Duke of Orleans, He answer'd,
That the King of France doth not use to revenge the injuries of the Duke of Orleans; no more (with most humble submission be it spoken) doth
King Charles rese
[...]t much the wrongs that were done to
Charles Stuart.
Therfore, Noble Cavaliers, possess your Souls with patience, we have a most gracious King who is in the Meridian of his years, and will live to reward all in time. In the confus'd medley of mundane affairs, the Proverb often is verified,
Some have the happ, but some stick still in the gapp, Som have the fortune of preferment, som not, and 'twill be so to
[Page 14] the worlds end. The
Author hereof though during the many yeers that he was in prison for his loyalty, had three sworn over his head in an Office of Credit that he shold have had
de jure, yet it nothing discomposeth him, being more then in h
[...]pe of a compensation som other way.
And as we have a
Gracious, so have we a
Glorious King, the most Glorious that ever wore these three Crowns, for all the eyes of Christendom are fix'd upon Him with a kind of astonishment and admiration, and not only of Christendom, but of all the World besides, for 'tis written that the Great T
[...]k shold say,
If he were to change his Religion, he wold fall to worship the God of King Charles
of England,
who hath do
[...] such miracles for him, such miracles that no story can parallel: And certainly,
God Almighty must needs love Him
for whom he doth miracles: which that his Divine Majesty may continue to do, are the incessant Prayers of
