This done, the Cardinal, as Archbishop of Canterbury, shewing the King
to the people at the iiij parties of the said pulpit, shall say in
this wise; "Sirs, I here present Henry, true and rightful, and
undoubted inheritor of the laws of God and man, to the crown and royal
dignity of England, with all things thereunto annexed and
appertaining, elect, chosen, and required by all three estates of the
same land, to take upon him the said crown, and royal dignity,
whereupon ye shall understand that this day is prefixed and appointed
by all the peers of this land for the consecration, enunciation, and
coronation." Whereunto the people shall say, with a great voice, "Yea.
Yea. Yea. So be it King Henry! King Henry!"
Soon upon the said Cardinal, as Archbishop of Canterbury, being
reuysshed[1] as appertaineth for celebration of mass and also the
foresaid Bishops of Exeter and Ely on both sides as above, with other
Bishops, and with the Abbot of Westminster, who oweth always to be
near the King for his information in such things as concerneth the
solemnity of the coronation, the King shall be brought honourably from
his said seat unto the high altar, where the Chancellor of England
shall set down the chalice, and likewise the Bishop of Chichester his
patten.
The Queen following the King thither, going afore her the lords as
above bearing her crown, sceptre, and rod, and the abovesaid Bishops
sustaining her, for her shall be ordained, on the left side of the
high altar, a folding stool wherein she shall sit while the King shall
be required of the keeping of the customs and laws of England, and
that done, whilst "Veni Creator Spiritus" is a singing, and all the
while the King is anointed, she shall kneel praying for the King and
her self.
