EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

In this Equipage two by two, they march from Skinners-Hall towards the Lord Maior's House in Mincing-lane, the Foot Marshal and his attendants, make a Lane to receive his Lordsh p and his attendants, together with the old Lord Maior and his attendants, which having done, the Foot Marshal ranks them as formerly, and the whole body march towards Guildhall, and from thence to three Crane Wharf in the Vintrey, his Lordship enters his Barge at the Stairs next Westminster, the Company enters theirs at Merchant Taylors Stairs, and the rest of the Companies at several other places: but the Gentlemen Ushers Budge and Foynes Batchellors, repair to their place of refreshment.

The Lord Maior and the several Companies of London being thus imbarqued, they make all speed to Westminster, where by the way several peices of Ordinances are discharged, placed on the Bank-side to that purpose, for congratulating his Lordship.

The Companies being landed at Westminster, they set themselves as a Guard on both sides, from Westminster Bridge to the Hall, in which likewise they make a Lane for the Company of Skinners to passe, the Lord Maior, the old Lord Maior, Aldermen, and their attendants, but the Livery and their attendants return to their Barge, the Assistants, the Master, Wardens, and their several attendants, march up the Exchequer Stairs, and from the stair head to the Exchequer Bar, make a Lane, through which the new and old Lord Maiors with the Recorder passe, the new Lord Maior on the right hand of him; and the old Lord Maior on the left, where the Recorder makes a Speech.

A Writ being sealed at the Chancery, Kings Bench, & Common Pleas Bar, and the accustomed Ceremonies performed, his Lordship and the rest in order repair to their several Barges, and hasten to Baynards Castle, Pauls Wharf, and other places, in order to their making a Guard or Gallory, from Pauls Chain Hill, and Pauls Church Yard, to Cheapside, through which the Company of Skinners, the Lord Maior, and Aldermen, with their Attendants pass.

His Lordship being landed, and all things in a readinesse in reference to it; he is saluted by one Scene being two Leopards richly set out, on whose Backs are seated two Negroes, habited very costly after their manner, two Girles likewise placed on the Stage thereof, one in the Front, the other in the Rear, and accommodated accordingly; the Negroes hold each a Banner of the Cities Arms in one hand, and the Arms of the Company in the other, the Girles hold the like.

This Scene moves all the Morning with other Pageants up and down Pauls Church-yard, and upon his Lordships approach retreat towards Fosterlane end, where a Pageant relating to the Companies Trade receive them; The Leopards (as they are Supporters of the Companies Arms) flank each side thereof.

This Pageant is made in manner of a Wood or Wildernesse, the Stage thereof being fourteen foot long, and eight foot broad; the Front thereof is arched over with a Wilde Arbour, in which sits a living Figure representing Faunus. His head is Circled with a Crown of Wool inter-mixed with Ermyns, the upper part of his body habited like a Forrester in Green; his nether pa •• like a Woodman in Russet; He wears a long loose Robe over it lined with Fur, and inter-mixed with Ermyns; In one hand he holds a Javelin, in the other a Bugle Horn. His attendants are three Satyres habited accordingly, who are in continual Motion, playing on several rude Instruments, singing and dancing. Upon four Pedestalls sit four Girles, alluding to the Nymphs of the Wood and Forrests, called Dryades, and habited accordingly. On the Stage are placed several Boyes in the shapes of Bears, Monkeys, and several other beasts relating to the placed several Boyes in the shapes o f Bears, Monkeys, and several other beasts relating to the Companies Trade, who likewise are in continual action.

Faunus is said to be God of the Woods and Forrests, and Father of all the Rural gods.

[He is reported to be the Ancient'st of all the Kings in Italy, and was the first that brought in any Form of Religion thither. He Consecrated Groves, gave Names unto Cities, erected Temples, ordained Sacrifices; from whom the Churches, as some say, were named Fana.]

Upon his Lordships approach Faunus directs himself in these words;

Faunus's SPEECH. E'Re scarce the face of Government was known, Or superstitious Ceremonies shown, E're Rome received from Romulus a Law, (Which did the Sabines to Subjection draw;) Or that her Gods into request became, And Altars on her Holy Mount Aventine. Mount did flame, I lead the way to those mysterious rights. By the Pale Tapers of Instinctive lights: For nature (then) us Heathens reason lent To worship what we held Omnipotent. When now there are a sort strive to deface With Oaths and Blasphemy the Seat of Grace, Worser then Heathens live; past sense of shame, From Christian into Atheist change their Name, We were devout in what we did not know, They know, and yet will not devotion shew; In Woods and Groves (at first) we sacrific'd, And then we Temples to erect devis'd. As we grew up in Knowledge we the more Our unknown Gods did Honour and Adore, These sort of Men your Temples do despise, And to their lusts do (onely) sacrifice; That such who thus your Government displease Deserve the name of Satyrs more then pointing to the Satyrs. these. Licentious liberty obdurates hearts, And man from virtue more then beasts departs; For they forsake not theirs, And as we do Order our Beasts, let them be order'd too; Wild Beasts are Tam'd by men, and wild-men may Be brought in time to be as Tame as they. 'Tis Wisdome in the Magistrate that must Crumble all such Prophaneness into dust. Let such as in your Church no service lovee Confin'd be to a Forrest, Wood, or Grove. Let them be Company for Beasts not Men, Till they return unto the Truth agen. By this their Punishment you will appear Unto the World, more Vertuous then Severe.

The speech ended, his Lordship and his Retinue move towards the place where Cheapside-Crosse stood, and there he is entertained by another Scene or Pageant, being a stately Fabrick made after the Dorick order, on the Top whereof is seated a lively Figure representing Albion or England, taking her Name from the White Cliffs; her hair is of a Flaxen colour dishevelled, her Temples are Circled with an Imperial Diadem, her Neck ornamented with a Collor of SS, her Garment Cloth of Silver, about her shoulders a loose flying scarf of Gold: In one hand she holds a Shield whereon is figured the Heptarchy, (or the seven petty Kings that once ruled here), kneeling and tendring their Crowns to her; in the other hand she holds a rich Banner, whereon the Arms of England and Portugall is impal'd. At her Feet upon a Pedestall is seated a living Figure representing the City of London; her hair of a light Brown, on her head a Coronet of Gold, her Garment white sarsnet fring'd with Gold, over her shoulders she has a loose flying Green sarsnet scarfe fringed with silver: in one hand she holds a Banner of the Cities Arms, in the other one of the Companies.

On either side of the Pageant sit two more living Figures, representing two Cities, York and Bristoll; and in the Rear sits another figure representing Worcester.

York is habited in a Flame coloured Sarsnet Robe, her hair a dark Brown dishevel'd, on her head a Coronet of Gold, in one hand she holds a Banner with the Arms of that City, in the other the Arms of England.

Bristoll is habited in a Limon-coloured Sarsnet Robe, her hair dishevel'd, on her head a Coronet of Gold; in one hand she holds a Banner with the Arms of that City, in the other the Arms of England.

Norwich is habited in a Crimson coloured Srasnet-Robe, her hair dishevel'd, on her head she has a Coronet of Gold, in one hand she holds a Banner with the Arms of that City, and in the other the Arms of England.

All these Banners are made of Silk, about the Pageant is painted the Figure of every City in little.

His Lordship and the rest drawing neer, Albion directs her self to him in these words;

Albions SPEECH. Albion that not long since was left forlorn, Her Bosom ransackt, and her Garments torn By her unnatural Children, now presumes Your presence, and her antient State assumes. Bless'd be the happy Change, the Sacred Cause Of our Religion, Liberty, and Laws. So great a Work could not accomplish'd be, Without restoring Heaven-born Monarchie; How happy are you, could you prize your good, And your Conditions rightly understood; Now Peace has got the upper hand of War, And Plenty hath exiled Famin far Remote from hence our fields are clad with Corn Whose laden Ears do listen to be shorn. The Husbandman hides not his Cattel, now, Lest that they shall be taken from the Plough; The Shepherd fears not those Sheep stealing men (Far worse then Wolves) of late, but laughs agen. And to his harmless flock tunes forth the Praise of Peace, and our Revived Halcion dayes. Thrice happy England in so bless'd a King, Vnder whose Government the Clergy sing The Songs of Sion in the sacred Tongue, Converting old Men and Informing young. Where vile Oppression is supprest by Law, And Clemency doth more then rigour Awe. Then London, and my other Daughters, know How much to God for such a King you owe; And let no dirty thoughts Rebellious, prove The dark rewarders of his Serene love.

The Speech ended, his Lordship and his Retinue move towards Milk-street, and there he is saluted by another Scene or Pageant, made in manner of a Chariot, in the Front whereof sits a living Figure, representing a Turk (alluding to his Lordships Quality, a Turkish Merchant, and so to Trade) his Habit is very rich, apted to the Fashion of that Countrey; in the body of the Pageant are three Turks more habited accordingly, and three Slaves employed in ordering and making up Commodities.

Upon his Lordships adproach, the Turk salutes him in these words;

Turks SPEECH. HAil to the honour that attends your name, We that ne'r stoop to fear, yet must to fame; We that dare Grapple with the Universe, And mak't our Glory (only) to Converse With horrid Slaughter, do appeal to you, And for your Amity and Comerce sue: Nor is it such a monstrous thing to be In league with us rather securitie: The trembling Nations where our Sultan comes Surrender up their rights, and quit their homes; Our numerous host staggers the Christians faith, And our successe like admiration hath: Th' Inveigling French we neither love, nor fear, Your deeds abroad draw our affections here. England's the seat of honour, and the flower Of Chivalry, Valours Imperiall Bower; Her Prince inur'd to Arms, and rugged war, Her Souldiers (like to Alexanders,) are So expert in their Discipline, not one But may a Title of Commander own. Her Magistrates are sober, grave, and wise, Not Kickshaw-pated-fellows, Butterflies, But such as Rome did in her Pride select For Government, to Traffique, and Protect, And as to her, remotest parts did bow, Let us not shame to doe the like to you.

The Speech ended, his Lordship and the rest move on towards Soper-lane end, the four Pageants by whom his Lordship past, falling into the Rear. At Soper-lane end, another Pageant waits his Lordship, being a stately Building, in the Front whereof sits Minerva; her Hair dishevell'd, on her head she wears a silver Helmet with a Plume of red and white Feathers, her Garment of changeable coloured Sarsnet, alluding to her Properties, as she is Pallas, Bellona, and Minerva; in one hand she holds a Lance, in the other a Shield, whereon is figured several sorts of Books and Instruments of Musick, as she is Goddesse of Arts and Arms; upon the four Pedestals of the Pageant, sit four Nymphs in several coloured habits, richly set forth, circled with Wreaths of Roses, and holding a sheild and a Banner in each hand, on one whereof is figured the head of Medusa, on the other the Lord Mayors Arms.

On the Top of the Pageant is placed an other lively Figure representing Mercury; his habit, and basis are Cloth of silver: There are three Children more which represent the three Graces habited accordingly.

His Lordship drawing neer Minerva Addresseth her self to him in these words.

Minerva's SPEECH. IN all the primitive times Learning did shine Like to the Sun both speculative, and divine; The more she spread her self, the more she grew, In veneration and esteem; This drew The youth of famous Athens to admire Not only her rich beauty, but acquire Her as a Bride; for which their Genii strove, And in their several Orbs exprest their love. But as the Sun cannot be said to give Life to one Plant (though all by him do live) So Learning from her various Rayes imparts The several Species of both Arms and Arts. While they did flourish she was in request, And held a Iewel for a Prince's breast; When now her Glory is Ecclips'd, and she Wanders in Rags, and despis'd Povertie. Let parts be what they will, Fools onely scan The Out-side, not the Inside of a Man. If she addresse her self to Court (the place Where she should find acceptance, and a Grace) The wanton leere of a betraying Eye Bespeaks her (straight) a scornful Injury. The Country knows her not; they with all right, But hardly to her Help will add a Mite; To what place must her Miseries repair, But unto Athens? of the which you are By Divine hand appointed Magistrate Oh! let her not be starved at your Gate, Encourage her, and for your Cities Fame. Both Arts and Arms shall gloryfie your Name. Perpetuate your Memory, and raise From this dayes Basis Pyramids of Praise.

The Speech ended, his Lordship and his Attendants retire to Guild-Hall to Dinner, and the Companie to the place of their Refreshment; and after Dinner are again by the Foot Marshal set in Order as in the Morning, only the Pentioners carry in stead of Javelins and Targets, Torches to attend my Lord, the Aldarmen, and Companies from St. Pauls, to which place his Lordship directs his passage, and the Pageants to wait his Coming from thence, hasten towards his Lordships house in Mincing-lane, and the Pageants are placed in Grace Church-street; and at Mincing-lane end neer Cloth-workers-Hall; his Lordship (upon his Return from Pauls) is Accosted by the person representing the Turk in these words;

SPEECH. MY LORD, THe Company on whom I waite, Command me to salute you at your Gate With their fraternal-hearty-wishes; May Your Joyes exceed the Glory of this Day. May never Night approach them, never Ill Divine them, but be fair and rising still. May you in Traffique no Disaster know, Your Riches never Ebb, but ever Flow. Piety be your practice, and the poor. Never go Empty-handed from your dore. May you grow up in Honours seat, and prove A Subject for your King, and Cities love. May you live Centuries of years, and see Your-self still young in your posteritie: And so your Company bids (in your own right) Good Morrow to your Glories, not Good night.

Which ended, and his Lordship entred his house, all depart in order (as the Conveniency of Night will admit) And the several persons appointed to attend the service of the day take especiall care to lodge the silk-works and Triumphs in some secure place til they can remove them to SkinnersHall, in regard they are of some weight, and the burthen of the day was heavy to the Undertakers.

FINIS.
