Then the King arose and sat in St. Edward's Chair whilst the Archbishop and Bishops kneeled, and were kissed by him, after which the King returned to the Chair placed on the Theatre behind his Throne, where he reposed himself while Prayers were said, and Te Deum sung, which ended the King ascended his Throne, in the midst of the Theatre, the Swords, great Officers, and Bishops standing on each side, while a Prayer was said. After which the Bishops and Nobility did their Homage. First the Arch Bishop kneeling before the King said, I William Archbishop of Canterbury, shall be faithful and true, and faith and truth bear unto you, our Sovereign Lord, and your Heirs Kings of England, and shall do, and truly acknowledge the Service of the Land which I claim to hold of you in right of the Church, So help me God, after which He and all the Bishops kissed the Kings left check. Then came up the Duke of York, with Garter principal King at Arms before him, and his Train born by two Gentlemen, when being come to the Throne he kneeled down, put off his Coronet, and did Homage in these words, I James Duke of York become your Liege man, of life and Limb, and of Earthly Worship: and Faith and Truth I shall bear unto you, to live and die against all manner of Folke, So help me God; At which the Drums beat, the Trumpets sounded, and the People shouted.

During which Solemn Ceremony the Lord High Chancellor went to the South, West, and North sides of the Stage, and proclaimed to the People the King's General pardon, being attended by Mr. Garter to the Southside, and by a Gentleman Usher, and two Heralds to the other two sides, the Lord Cornwallis Treasurer of the Household, at the same time throwing amongst the people Medals of Gold and Silver. The King being thus enthroned, the Gentlemen of the Chapel sung the Anthem, Behold O Lord our Defender, and look upon the face of thine anointed, etc. at the end whereof the Drums and Trumpets beat and founded.

Then he retired into a Traverse, where he was disrobed of the Robes he was Crowned in (which were delivered to the Dean of Westminster to be laid up with the rest of the Regalia) and being invested with his Royal Robes of Purple Velvet, he came near to St. Edward's Altar, where the Bishop of London standing ready with the Imperial Crown in his hands, set that upon his Head. After which he took the two Sceptres, and proceeded to Westminster-Hall, the same way that he came, & attended after the same manner, saving that the Noblemen and Bishops, that brought the Regalia to the Abbey, went not now immediately before him as they did then, but went according to their degrees: All the Noblemen having their Coronets and Caps on their heads and the Kings at Arms their Coronets. The proceeding being entered the Hall; the Nobility and others, who had places assigned them, went and placed themselves, but the King, attended with the Great Officers, withdrew into the Inner Court of Wards, and in the mean time all the Tables in the body of the Hall were served. On the Right hand were set two Tables one beneath the other, at the upper end of the first sat the Bishops, and below them the Judges, with the rest of the Long Robe. At the second Table sat the Masters of the Chancery and the six Clerks, at which likewise the Barons of the Cinque Ports were then necessitated to sit (by reason of a Disturbance which some of the King's Footmen made in offering to take the Canopy from them) although the upper end of the first Table was appointed for them. On the other side of the Hall was placed likewise a long Table, which reached down near to the Common Pleas Court whereat the Nobility dined, and behind this close to the wall sat the Lord Mayor, aldermans, Recorder and twelve chief Citizens of London.

A little before the King returned to dinner two Esquires of the Body took their Seats upon two little foot-stools on either side of the foot of the King's Chair (placed opposite to the middle of the Table) and there sat until the King came in to Dinner, when Rising and performing their Duty in placing the King's Robes for his better conveniency of sitting, they sat down again at the King's feet, until the King gave them leave to rise.

Soon after Dinner was begun, the Lord Allington, by virtue of his Tenure of the Manor of Wymundley in the County of Hertford, served the King of his first Cup, (which was of Silver Gilt) and after the King had drank he had the Cup for his fee. Next Thomas Leigh Esquire was brought up to the Table with a Mess of Pottage called Dilegrout, by reason of his Tenure of the Manner of Addington in the County of Surrey. Afterwards (a little before the second Course was ready) Sir Edward Dymock Knight (being the King's Champion, as being seized of the Man●r of Scrivelsby in the County of Lincoln) entered the Hall, on a goodly White Courser, armed at all points, and there having made a stand for sometime, advanced in manner following.

Whereupon the Champion threw down his Gauntlet, which lying some small time, and no body taking it up, it was delivered to him again by the same Herald, than he advanced further forward till he came to the Middle of the Hall. And lastly to the foot of the Steps going up to the Throne of State. This being done, the Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery (assisted as before) presented, on the Knee; to the King, a Gilt Cup (with a Cover) full of Wine, who drank to the Champion, and by the said Earl sent him the Cup, which having received he after three Reverences drank it all off, went a little backward, and so departed out of the Hall; taking the said Cup for his Fee.
