Then the Knight's Commissioners making the like Reverences, came into the lower or middle Row of Stalls directly under the designed Stall of the said Prince or signior Knight Elect, whom they introduced between them into the said lower Space or Row opposite to his Stall, where being placed, the Register of the said Order standing in the Choir before him, read his Oath to him, Garter holding the Book; the Form of which Oath is as follows. You being chosen to be one of the Honourable Company of this most Noble Order of the Garter, shall promise and swear by the Holy Evangelists, by you here touched, that wittingly or willingly you shall not break any Statute of the said Order, or any Articles in them contained; the same being agreeable and not repugnant to the Laws of Almighty God, and the Laws of this Realm, as far forth as to you belongeth and appertaineth; so God help you and his Holy Word. The Oath being thus administered, and the said Elect Knight having kissed the Book, he was led by the Knight's Commissioners up to the Stall appointed for him, through the middle Entrance, and by them placed before it. CHAP. VII. The Installation of Prince George, being the Signior Knight Elect. THE Prince thus standing in his Stall (which, as is said before, was the Fourth on the Prince's Side) Garter advanced into the lower Row of Stalls to the place where the Prince took his Oath, and with an Obeisance to the Knight's Commissioners, presented to them the Mantle wherewith they invested the Prince, and put on the Hood upon his Right Shoulder over the Mantle, bringing the Tippet athwart his Breast, and tucking it under his Belt or Girdle, in the doing whereof the Register read unto him the Admonition following.

Then the Knight's Commissioners put on the great Choler of the Order about his Shoulders, tying it at each Shoulder over his Mantle and Hood, while the Register read to him the Admonition ensuing. To the Increase of your Honour, and in Token of the Honourable Order you have received, take this Choler about your Neck, with the Image of the Holy Martyr, and Christ's Knight St. George, by whose Aid you being defended, may pass through the Prosperities and Adversities of this World, that having here the Victory as well of your Ghostly as Bodily Enemies, you may not only receive the Glory and Renown of Temporal Chivalry; but also at the last, the endless and everlasting Reward of Victory. After this the said Knights Commissioners presented the new Invested Knight (the Prince) with the Book of Statutes; and having put the black Velvet Cap., adorned with Plumes of white Feathers upon his Head, the Prince standing all this while before his Stall, made his double Obeisances, first towards the High Altar, and then towards the Sovereign's Stall, whereupon the Knights Commissioners embracing him as their Fellow and Companion, place him, or set him down uncovered in his assigned Stall; and from this last Action the whole Ceremony is denominated an INSTALLATION.

All the three Knights being thus installed, the Officers of the Order conducted the Knight's Commissioners to their respective Stalls, and making their usual Obeisances, went to their own Seat. Then the Officers of Arms came down from the Altar into the Choir, to hear Divine Service; the Kings of Arms first, and after them the poor Knights to their Seats, the Eldest first. CHAP. IX.

Then the two Signior Heralds conducted up the Signior Knight, Commissioner, the Duke of Albemarle, who offered in like manner and returned to his Stall by the same way or passage as the Prince did to his, the Princes being the 4th. and His the 7th. on that side. Then the two next Heralds conducted up the Junior Knight Commissioner, the Duke of Beaufort who offered Gold and Silver in like manner, and returned to his Stall being the Eighth Stall on the Sovereign side by the East Passage or Entrance on that side, making the like Reverences. Lastly two other Heralds or Officers of Arms making their accustomed Reverences Conducted up the two Junior Installed Knights together (being Pairs or Fellows to each other, which the Commssioners were not) who making their usual Obeisances offered Gold and Silver in manner as aforesaid, and returned to their Respective Stalls, the Duke of Somerset to the 13th. or lowest Stall on the Sovereign side, and the Duke of Northumberland to the 13th. or lowest Stall on the Prince's side, each being conducted thither by one Officer of Arms.

Whereupon a Virger Reverently conducted down the two prebend's from the Altar to their own Seats among their Fellows in the Quire. Which done, Garter coming from his Form and making his Reverences in the Choir, Summoned down all the Five Knights Companions, viz. the two Junior first, and then the three other one after another, who after their accustomed Reverences came and stood in the Choir under their Respective Banners. Then the poor Knights descended from the Steps before the Altar by two & two the Junior first, and making their joint double Reverences in the middle of the Choir, proceeded out of the Chapel; then the prebend's descending from their Seats or Stalls into the middle of the Choir, made the like double Reverences jointly, and going out two by two the Junior first, followed the Poor Knights; Next to them the Heralds descended from the Steps before the Altar, and making the like double Reverences jointly in the middle of the Choir, followed the Brebends by two and two, the Pursivants first, than the three Officers of the Order making the like Reverences followed the Officers of Arms, the Register in the middle, Garter on the Right-hand and the Usher on the Left, lastly the five Knights Companions in order followed the said Officers after having made their respective Obeisance, viz. the Duke of Northumberland and Duke of Somerset together being Fellows; Next the Duke of Beaufort, than the Duke of Albemale, and lastly Prince George of Denmark.
