But one thing by the waie I cannot let passe, tou|ching the yoong florishing rood newlie set vp against this present time, to welcome king Philip into Paules church. The setting vp of which rood was this, and may make as good a pageant as the best. Anno 2. Mariae Boner in his roialtie, and all his prebenda|ries about him in Paules quéere,The erecting vp of the rood at Paules. the rood laid along vpon the pauement, and also all the doores of Paules being shut, the bishop with other said and soong di|uers praiers by the rood: that being doone they an|nointed the rood with oile in diuers places, and after the annointing crept vnto it and kissed it. After that they tooke the said rood and weied him vp and set him in his old accustomed place,Bishop Bo|ners god the rood of Pauls set vp with Te Deum. and all the while they were dooing thereof, the whole queere sang Te Deum, and when that was ended, they rang the bels, not on|lie for ioy, but also for the notable and great fact they had doone therein.

Not long after this, a merrie fellow came into Paules,Salutation to the rood of Paules. and spied the rood with Marie and Iohn new set vp, wherto (among a great sort of people) he made low curtsie & said: Sir, your maistership is welcome to towne, I had thought to haue talked further with your maistership, but that ye be héere clothed in the quéenes colours. I hope ye be but a summers bird, for that ye be dressed in white & gréene, &c. The prince thus being in the church of Paules, after doctor Harpesfield had finished his oration in Latine, set forward through Fléetstreet, & so came to White hall, where he with the quéene remained foure daies af|ter, and from thence remooued vnto Richmond. Af|ter this, all the lords had leaue to depart into their countries, with strict commandement to bring all their harnesse and artillerie into the tower of Lon|don with all spéed. Now remained there no English lord at the court but the bishop of Winchester.

From Richmond they remooued to Hampton court, where the hall doore within the court was con|tinuallie shut, so that no man might enter, vnlesse his errand were first knowne: which séemed strange to Englishmen that had not béene vsed thereto. The seuentéenth daie of September,A proclamati|on for the a|uoiding of maisterlesse men out of th [...] citie of Lon|don. was a proclamati|on in London, that all vagabonds and maisterlesse men, as well strangers as Englishmen, should de|part the citie within fiue daies: and strictlie charging all inholders, vittelers, tauerners, and ale house kée|pers, with all other that sold vittels, that they (after the said fiue daies) should not sell anie meat, drinke, or anie kind of vittels or reléefe to anie seruingman whatsoeuer, vnlesse he brought a testimoniall from his maister to declare whose seruant he was, & were in continuall houshold with his said maister, vpon paine to runne in danger of the law if they offend herein.]
