"On the said 17th of November, 1679, the bells, generally, about the town, began to ring at three o'clock in the morning. At the approach of the evening, (all things being in readiness) the solemn procession began, setting forth from Moregate, and so passed, first to Aldgate, and thence through Leadenhall-street, by the Royal Exchange, through Cheapside, and so to Temple-bar in the ensuing order, viz. "1. Came six whifflers, to clear the way, in pioneer caps, and red waistcoats. "2. A bellman ringing, and with a loud (but doleful) voice, crying out all the way, remember Justice Godfrey. "3. A dead body, representing justice Godfrey, in a decent black habit, carried before a jesuit, in black, on horse-back, in like manner as he was carried by the assassins to Primrose Hill. "4. Next after Sir Edmonbury, so mounted, came a priest in a surplice, with a cope embroidered with dead bones, skeletons, skulls, and the like, giving pardons very plentifully to all those who should murder protestants; and proclaiming it meritorious. "5. Then a priest in black alone, with a great silver cross. "6. Four carmelites, in white and black habits. "7. Four grey-friars, in the proper habits of their order. "8. Six jesuits, with bloody daggers. "9. A concert of wind music. "10. Four bishops, in purple, and lawn sleeves, with a golden crosier on their breast, and crosier-staves in their hands. "11. Four other bishops, in _Pontificalibus_, with surplices, and rich embroidered copes, and golden mitres on their heads. "12. Six cardinals, in scarlet robes and caps. "13. The Pope's doctor, _i.e._ Wakeman,[a] with jesuits-powder in one hand, and an urinal in the other. "14. Two priests in surplices, with two golden crosses. "Lastly, The Pope, in a lofty, glorious pageant, representing a chair of state, covered with scarlet, richly embroidered and fringed, and bedecked with golden balls and crosses: At his feet a cushion of state, and two boys in surplices with white silk banners, and bloody crucifixes and daggers with an incense pot before them, censing his holiness, who was arrayed in a splendid scarlet gown, lined through with ermin, and richly daubed with gold and silver lace; on his head a triple crown of gold, and a glorious collar of gold and precious stones, St Peter's keys, a number of beads, agnus deis, and other catholic trumpery. At his back, his holiness's privy counsellor, the degraded Seraphim, (_anglice_ the devil,) frequently caressing, hugging, and whispering him, and oft times instructing him aloud to destroy his majesty, to forge a protestant plot, and to fire the city again, to which purpose he held an infernal torch in his hand.
