tyme all y^e peeres and peeresses put on their Coronets on their heads. There are divers forms of speech that belong to each Cerimony. Y^e Queen after this goes to y^e alter and there I saw her receive the Sacrament, I saw the deane bring her y^e bread and wine. Then she is Conducted with her Crown on, her Globe and Scepter in her hand and seated on y^e Royal throne of y^e Kingdom w^{ch} is of gold finely wrought, high back and armes set on a theatre of severall steps, assent rises on four sides to it. She being thus seated is followed w^{th} a second Huzza and sound of drums and trumpets and Gunns, then all y^e Lords and Bishops pay their homage to her; the Eldest of Each ranke swears fidelity to her in his own name and in y^e name of all of his ranck. They all singly come and touch her Crown and some kiss her Right Cheeke—they make all do soe,—she kisses the Bishops. All this while anthems are sung and the Medals are Cast about by the treasurer of y^e houshold, after w^{ch} the Queen arose and went and made her second offering, sate down on the throne on w^{ch} she was annoynted and Crown’d. After, an anthem is sung proper for the tyme, after w^{ch} the Queen retired into King Edwards Chappel to private prayer, w^{ch} being ended and her Crimson velvet mantle being taken off and one of purple velvet made just y^e same put on, in y^e same manner they returned Each one in his station, only the Lords y^t Carryed the Regalias now tooke their places as peers with y^e rest, y^e Queen walked to y^e doore of y^e abby w^{th} obligeing Lookes and bows to all y^t Saluted her and were spectatours, w^{ch} were prodigious numbers in Scaffolds built in the Abbey and all the streetes on each side reaching to Westminster hall, where the Queen againe quitted her Chaire w^{ch} was Carryed by four men, the whole procession being both going and comeing attended by y^e gentlemen pensioners Clad in Scarlet Cloth w^{th} gold Lace, Holding halberds w^{th} gold tops Like pick-axes. These make a Lane for the queen to pass and follow two and two, next them y^e groomes of the bed Chamber, then the Captaine of y^e guards went between y^e Captaine of y^e pensioners band and the Captain of y^e yeaumen, and were attended by their officers and yeamen.
