Thus to y^e quire doore she Came, then Leaveing y^e Cannopy—(y^e Chaire she Left at y^e Abby doore—) she is conducted to y^e Alter which was finely deck’d w^{th} Gold tissue Carpet and fine Linnen, on the top all y^e plaite of y^e abby sett, y^e velvet Cushions to place y^e Crown and all y^e regallias on. She made her offering at y^e Alter, a pound weight or wedge of gold, here the Dean of Westminster and y^e prebends which assists the Arch-Bishop in the Cerimonyes are arrayed in very Rich Coapes and Mitres, black velvet Embroyder’d w^{th} gold Starrs, or Else tissue of gold and silver. Then the Littany and prayers are sung and repeated by two Bishops w^{th} a small organ, then the Queen being seated on a green velvet Chaire faceing the pulpit attends y^e words of y^e sermon w^{ch} was by y^e arch-Bishop of York, w^{ch} being ended y^e Queen arose and returned thanks for y^e Arch-bishops Sermon, is shewed to y^e people by saying a form, Will you take this to be your Souveraigne to be over you? thus I saw the Queen turn her face to y^e four sides of y^e Church, then the Coronation oath is repeated to her, w^{ch} she distinctly answered each article, which oath is very Large in three articles, relateing to all priviledges of y^e Church and State to which she promised to be the security and to maintaine all to us.
