Their Majesties went afterwards to Church with all the Pomp and Magnificence, (I dare to say it) of the ancient Kings of _Asia_. The King walk’d under a Canopy of Silver-Brocade embroider’d with Gold borne by ten _Prussian_ Lords of the first Quality, and at some distance came the Queen under another Canopy like to that of the King. The Grand Chamberlain held up the Train of the King’s Mantle, and the Queen’s was born by the Duchess of _Holstein_, and the Ladies _Stingland_ and _Bulau_, the one Lady of Honour to the Queen, and the other having the first Reversion of that Office. The Duke of _Holstein_ officiated as Great Master of her Houshold; and the Princess of _Holstein_ walk’d at the head of the Court-Ladies. Their Majesties were receiv’d by the two Bishops that were to perform the Ceremony of the Coronation, who were dress’d in purple Velvet, after the _English_ mode, and had for their Assistants six Ministers, three of them _Calvinists_ and three _Lutherans_. They conducted the King and Queen to their Thrones which had been erected on the two sides of the Altar, the King’s on the Right, and the Queen’s on the Left. Tho’ there is no Altar in the _Calvinist_ Churches, the King had one, and had actually made a present of a magnificent Crucifix to be plac’d upon it, in order to shew how much he wish’d the Union of the two Protestant Churches. The Prince Royal seated himself a little behind the King towards the Right on a Folding-chair, with his Governor the Count _de Dobna_ behind him: The Margraves also sate in two Folding-chairs on both sides of the Queen. The Duke and Duchess of _Holstein_, and the Ladies _Stingland_ and _Bulau_, sate upon Stools immediately behind the Queen. The Princess of _Holstein_ was also placed upon a Stool, but a little farther off. On both sides of the Altar two Galleries were erected, the one for the Duchess of _Courland_ the King’s Sister, the young Duke her Son, and the three Princesses her Daughters-in-Law, the other for the Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers. When the King was to receive the sacred Unction, he went and kneel’d at the foot of the Altar, gave the Globe and Sceptre to the Lords who had before carried them, took off his Crown with his own hands, which he plac’d on a Cushion like to that on which he kneel’d, and then receiv’d three Unctions, one on the Forehead, and the two others on his Wrists. The Great Chamberlain dried up the Oil with Cotton and Linnen, which one of the Ministers presented to him on a Plate of Gold. After this the King took his Crown again which no other hand had touch’d, and plac’d it himself on his head; and having also taken the Sceptre and Globe again, he went and replac’d himself on his Throne. The same Ceremonies were observ’d at the Anointing of the Queen, with this difference only, that she all the while kept the Crown on her Head, and that Madame _Stingland_, her Lady of Honour, dried up the Oil.
