h he had not. He further said, it was not his Majesty's
pleasure that any of his subjects should be thus had to prison without
good cause shewed before. Upon receipt of Sir Edward's letter, Everard
discharged me, I taking the oaths of allegiance and supremacy. This
day's work cost me thirty-seven shillings. Afterwards Everard stood to
be Burgess for Westminster; sent me to procure him voices. I returned
answer, that of all men living he deserved no courtesy from me, nor
should have any.

In this year 1660, I sued out my pardon under the Broad Seal of England,
being so advised by good counsel, because there should be no
obstruction; I passed as William Lilly, Citizen and Salter of London; it
cost me thirteen pounds six shillings and eight pence.

There happened a verification of an astrological judgment of mine in
this year, 1660, which, because it was predicted sixteen years before it
came to pass, and the year expressly nominated, I thought fit to
mention.

In page 111 of my _Prophetical Merlin_, upon three sextile Aspects of

And in the same book, page 118, over-against the year 1660, you shall
find, A bonny Scot acts his part.

The long Parliament would give Charles the Second no other title than
King of Scots.

I also wrote to Sir Edward Walker, Kt. Garter King at Arms in 1659, he
then being in Holland--

_Tu, Dominusque vester videbitis Angliam, infra duos annos_.--For in
1662, his moon came by direction to the body of the sun.

But he came in upon the ascendant directed unto the trine of Sol and

And happy it was for the nation he did come in, and long and
prosperously may he reign amongst us.

In 1663 and 1664, I had along and tedious law-suit in Chancery, M.C.
