Sidney Lord Godolphin, Lord Chamberlain to the Queen, Deposeth,

THat he was called into the Queens Bed-chamber, with the rest of the Lords of the Council, being one of the last; and the Queen Dowager being there, and several Ladies, the Room was so full, that the Deponent could not get near the Bed, but stood by the Chimney; There the Deponent heard the Queen cry out several times as Women use to do that are in Labour; and the last cry that the Deponent heard, was much greater than the other; im∣mediatly upon that, the Deponent was called out of the Room, to give some Directions about the Lodgings that were preparing for the Child, which were not ready; the Deponent made haste back again, but as he was coming, he met People running with the News that the Queen was deliver'd of a Son, whereupon the Deponent went into the little Bed-chamber, and saw the Child.
