In this procession they made their reverences, first at the lower end of the Hall, secondly about the middle, where both the Choirs opening to the right and left a passage, through which the officers of arms passing opened likewise on each side, the seniors placing themselves nearest towards the steps: then the dean and prebendaries having come to the front of the steps, made their third reverence. This being done, the dean and prebendaries being come to the foot of the steps, deputy Garter preceding them (he having waited their coming there), ascended the steps, and approaching near the table before the King, made their last reverence. The dean then presented the crown to the lord high constable, who delivered it to the deputy lord great chamberlain, and it was by him placed on the table before the King. The rest of the regalia was severally delivered by each prebendary, on his knee, to the dean, by him to the lord high constable, by him to the deputy lord great chamberlain, and by him laid on the table. The regalia being thus delivered, the prebendaries and dean returned to the middle of the hall. His Majesty having commanded deputy Garter to summon the noblemen and bishops who were to bear the regalia, the deputy lord great chamberlain, then taking up the several swords, sceptres, the orb, and crown, placed them in the hands of those by whom they were to be carried. I. St. Edward's staff, by the Marquess of Salisbury. II. The spurs, by Lord Calthorpe, as deputy to the Baroness Grey de Ruthyn. III. The sceptre with the cross, by the Marquess Wellesley. IV. The pointed sword of temporal justice, by the Earl of Galloway. V. The pointed sword of spiritual justice, by the Duke of Northumberland. VI. Curtana, or sword of mercy, by the Duke of Newcastle. VII. The sword of state, by the Duke of Dorset. VIII. The sceptre with the dove, by the Duke of Rutland. IX. The orb, by the Duke of Devonshire. X. St. Edward's crown, by the Marquess of Anglesey, as lord high steward. XI. The patina, by the Bishop of Gloucester. XII. The chalice, by the Bishop of Chester. XIII. The Bible, by the Bishop of Ely. The two bishops who are to support his Majesty were then summoned by deputy Garter, and, ascending the steps, placed themselves on each side of the king. PROCESSION TO THE ABBEY.
