And these ladies cast downe wafers, on the which the two verses were written. From thence she pas|sed to the east end of Paules churchyard against the schoole, where stood on a scaffold two hundred chil|dren well apparelled,Two hundred children vpon a scaffold gra|ting the Q. with verses. which said to hir diuerse goodlie verses of poets translated into English, to the ho|nour of the king and hir, which she highlie commen|ded. And when she came to Ludgate, the gate was newlie garnished with gold & bise. And on the leads of saint Martins church stood a goodlie queere of sing|ing men and children, which soong new balads made in praise of hir. After that she was passed Ludgate, she procéeded toward Fléetstréet, where the conduit was newlie painted, and all the armes and angels refreshed, & the chime melodiouslie sounding. Upon the conduit was made a towre with foure turrets,Goodlie me|lodie. and in euerie turret stood one of the cardinall ver|tues with their tokens and properties, which had se|uerall spéeches, promising the queene neuer to leaue hir, but to be aiding and comforting hir: and in the middest of the towre closelie was such seuerall so|lemne instruments, that it séemed to be an heauen|lie noise, and was much regarded and praised: and beside this the said conduit ran wine claret and red all the afternoone.

So she with all hir companie and the maior rode foorth to Temple barre, which was newlie painted and repared,The quéene commeth to Westminster hall and the maner of hir receiuing. where stood also diuerse singing men and children, till she came to Westminster hall, which was richlie hanged with cloth of arras, and new glased. And in the middest of the hall she was taken out of hir litter, & so led vp to the higher deske vnder the cloth of estate, on whose left hand was a cupbord of ten stages maruellous rich and beautifull to behold and within a little season was brought to the quéene with a solemne seruice in great standing spice plates, a void of spice and subtilties with ipo|cras and other wines, which she sent downe to hir ladies, and when the ladies had dranke, she gaue har|tie thanks to the lords and ladies, with the maior and other that had giuen their attendance on hir, and so withdrew hir selfe with a few ladies to the Whitehall and so to hir chamber, and there shifted hir, and after went into hir barge secretlie to the king to his ma|nour of Westminster, where she rested that night.

On sundaie the maior [...]lad in crimsin veluet and with his collar,Sundaie be|ing Whitsun|daie the firs [...] daie of Iune, and the daie of hir coronatiõ. and all the aldermen and shiriffes in scarlet, and the counsell of the citie tooke their barge at the crane by seauen of the clocke and came to Westminster, where they were welcomed & brought into the hall by master treasuror and others of the kings house, and so gaue their attendance till the quéene should come foorth. Betwéene eight and nine she came into the hall, and stood vnder the cloth of estate, and th [...]n [...]ame in the kings chappell, and the moonks of Westminster all in rich copes, and manie bishops and abbats in copes and miters which went into the middest of the hall, and there stood a season. Then was there a raie cloth speed from the quéenes standing in the hall through the palace and sanctua|rie, which was raised on both sides to the high altar of Westminster. After that the raie cloth was cast, the officers of armes appointed the order accusto|med.
