During the Civil War the Great Seal of England was husted up and down the country by both the Royalist forces and the Roundheads. After some months of fighting the King was rejoiced at receiving from the bands of a faithful servant his Great Seal, for which the Parliament, which desired to promulgate several instruments of {m=" portance had been seeking so long. The King was at once able to issue various proclamations.. in London it was even found impossible to issue write to fill the places of deceased members of Parliament.

On the occasion of the robbaly a Privy Council was called st once and the loss was made good in less than two days
