The Young king, from King of Great-britsanny, is honored
(where-ere he comes) as if he were Emperor of Christendom,
and not a King of three Kingdoms; and happy is that Prince can
first dispatch Ambassadors to him with Presents, and overtures
of assisting him with men and money to recover his Right; The
King of France hath not a little out-done the rest, by free offering
him 10000 French, and to pay them two yeers, besides
10000 pounds in Money; the Dake of Orleance, Normandy, and
Prince of Condy 50000 pounds; the King of Denmark 10000
Men, and 10000 pound; the Queen of Swethland 10000 Men,
and 20000 pounds; the States of Holland 50 Ships ready Man'd
and Victual'd for a yeer; the King of Poland 5000 Men, and
pay for them for three yeers; the King of Spaine 10000 Pistollets,
&c. What a shame it is for Englishmen, that they should have
no more love or natural Affection to their Native Prince,and
rightful Soveraign, but to expose him to the Courtesie of Strangers,
whilst they stand adoring two or three Golden Calves of
their own making!
Noll is gone from Bristol towards Milford Haven, and there
sticks till 100000 pounds be sent him; Beer is but now a brewing
to Ballance his Ships: The Party of Levellers have a New
Design a foot; but that Harry Martin is loth to leave his beloved
Mistris Bettee in Coven Garden, his Worships finner.
Marques Ormond hath taken Rings-End, the Chief Fort that
Commands all the River between Dublin and the Sea; and
likewise the Block-house on the other side, and gained part of
Dublin Colledge, that lies so low, that the Castle has no power
over it: they have in readiness Petards, Morter-pieces, Great
Ordnance to batter, Sealling Ladders, Faggots and Ropes, and
could take the City at pleasure; but not without store of bloudshed,
as well of their Friends, as others in the city: Jones hath
betaken himself to the Castle, and is upon Articles of Treaty for
the Surrender; for the Famine is as bad, or worse, in this little
time, then at Colechester; for Jones hath heaped up for himselfin
the Castle, and exposed the rest to starving, which makes
him generally Cursed: It is Reported that Hunks, Venables,
Mores, and Reynolds Regiments coming into Dublin River, not
thinking those Forts were taken, and thinking to Land; are most
cut off by Ordnance from the Forts; and Cromwels Son a Captain,
is cut to pieces.
FINIS.
