The change that was being wrought caused some little disturbance in the city. When Doctor Bourne, who had been put up by the queen to preach at Paul’s Cross one Sunday in August, began to pray for the dead, and to refer to Bonner’s late imprisonment, one of his hearers threw a knife at him whilst others called the preacher a liar. The queen was so angry at this that she sent for the mayor and aldermen and told them plainly that she would deprive the city of its liberties if they could not better preserve peace and good order within its walls.(1373) A few days later she issued a proclamation in which, whilst making no secret of her wish that everyone would conform to the religion "which all men knew she had of long tyme observed, and ment, God willing, to contynue the same," she deprecated men calling each other heretic or papist, but willed that everyone should follow the religion he thought best until further orders were taken.(1374) The mayor in the meantime had also issued his precept against any sermon or lecture being read other than the Divine Service appointed until the queen’s further pleasure should be made known.(1375) Lest any disturbance should arise on the following Sunday (20 Aug.), when Bishop Gardiner’s chaplain was to preach at Paul’s Cross, the queen sent the captain of the guard with 200 men, who surrounded the pulpit, halberd in hand. The mayor, too, had ordered the livery companies to be present "to herken yf any leude or sedicious persons made any rumors"—a precaution which much pleased the queen.(1376) (M706) When Michaelmas-day (the day on which the election of the new mayor for the ensuing year was to take place) came round, the choice of the citizens fell upon Sir Thomas White.(1377) In accordance with the new order of things, the election was preceded by the celebration of mass in the Guildhall Chapel as of old. (M707) The day after the election of the new mayor the queen passed through the city from the Tower to Whitehall for her coronation. The streets presented their usual gay appearance on this occasion, and the queen was made the recipient of the "accustomed" gift of 1,000 marks on behalf of the city.(1378) On the day of the coronation (1 Oct.) the daily service at St. Paul’s had to be suspended because all the priests not under censure for Protestantism or for having married were summoned to assist at Westminster.(1379) (M708)
