His Lordship being landed, and all things in a readiness 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 Girls 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 City's Arms in one hand, and the Arms of the Company in the other, the Girls hold the like.  
This Scene moves all the Morning with other Pageants up and down Paul's Churchyard, and upon his Lordship's approach retreat towards Foster-lane 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 Wilderness, the Stage thereof being fourteen foot long, and eight foot broad; the Front thereof is arched over with a Wild 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 Forester in Green; his nether part 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 Satyrs habited accordingly, who are in continual Motion, playing on several rude Instruments, singing and dancing. Upon four Pedestals sit four Girls, alluding to the Nymphs of the Wood and Forests, called Dryads, and habited accordingly. On the Stage are placed several Boys in the shapes of Bears, Monkeys, and several other beasts relating to the placed several Boys 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 Forests, and Father of all the Rural gods.  
[He is reported to be the Ancientest 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 Lordship's approach Faunus directs himself in these words;  

Faunus' SPEECH.  
e'er scarce the face of Government was known,  
Or superstitious Ceremonies shown,  
ere 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,  
Worse than 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 show;  
In Woods and Groves (at first) we sacrificed,  
And then we Temples to erect devised.  
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 (only) sacrifice;  
That such who thus your Government displease  
Deserve the name of Satyrs more than 
* pointing to the Satyrs.  these.  
Licentious liberty obdurates hearts,  
And man from virtue more than beasts departs;  
For they forsake not theirs, And as we do  
Order our Beasts, let them be ordered too;  
Wild Beasts are Tamed by men, and wild-men may  
Be brought in time to be as Tame as they.  
'Tis Wisdom in the Magistrate that must  
Crumble all such Profaneness into dust.  
Let such as in your Church no service lovee  
Confined be to a Forest, Wood, or Grove.  
Let them be Company for Beasts not Men,  
Till they return unto the Truth again.  
By this their Punishment you will appear Unto the World, more Virtuous than 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 Fabric made after the Doric 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 color 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 tendering their Crowns to her; in the other hand she holds a rich Banner, whereon the Arms of England and Portugal is impaled. At her Feet upon a Pedestal 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 sarsenet fringed with Gold, over her shoulders she has a loose flying Green sarsenet scarf fringed with silver: in one hand she holds a Banner of the City's Arms, in the other one of the Companies.  
On either side of the Pageant sit two more living Figures, representing two Cities, York and Bristol; and in the Rear sits another figure representing Worcester.  
York is habited in a Flame coloured Sarsnet Robe, her hair a dark Brown dishevelled, 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.  
Bristol is habited in a Limon-coloured Sarsnet Robe, her hair dishevelled, 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 dishevelled, 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 near, Albion directs herself to him in these words;   

Albion's SPEECH.  
Albion that not long since was left forlorn,  
Her Bosom ransacked, and her Garments torn  
By her unnatural Children, now presumes  
Your presence, and her ancient State assumes.  
Blessed be the happy Change, the Sacred Cause  
Of our Religion, Liberty, and Laws.  
So great a Work could not accomplished be,  
Without restoring Heavenborn Monarchy;  
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 Famine far  
Remote from hence our fields are clad with Corn  
Whose laden Ears do listen to be shorn.  
The Husbandman hides not his cattle, now,  
Lest that they shall be taken from the Plough;  
The Shepherd fears not those Sheep stealing men  
(Far worse than Wolves) of late, but laughs again.  
And to his harmless flock tunes forth the Praise  
of Peace, and our Revived Haltion days.  
Thrice happy England in so blessed a King,  
Under whose Government the Clergy sing  
The Songs of Zion in the sacred Tongue,  
Converting old Men and Informing young.  
Where vile Oppression is suppressed by Law,  
And Clemency doth more than 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 Lordship's Quality, a Turkish Merchant, and so to Trade) his Habit is very rich, apted to the Fashion of that Country; in the body of the Pageant are three Turks more habited accordingly, and three Slaves employed in ordering and making up Commodities.  
Upon his Lordship's adproach, the Turk salutes him in these words;   

Turk's SPEECH.  
HAil to the honour that attends your name,  
We that ne'er stoop to fear, yet must to fame;  
We that dare Grapple with the Universe,  
And make't our Glory (only) to Converse  
With horrid Slaughter, do appeal to you,  
And for your Amity and Commerce sue:  
Nor is it such a monstrous thing to be  
In league with us▪ rather security:  
The trembling Nations where our Sultan comes  
Surrender up their rights, and quit their homes;  
Our numerous host staggers the Christians faith,  
And our success 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, Valour's Imperial Bower;  
Her Prince enured to Arms, and rugged war,  
Her Soldiers (like to Alexander's,) 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 Traffic, and Protect,  
And as to her, remotest parts did bow,  
Let us not shame to do 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 dishevelled, 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 Music, as she is Goddess 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 shield and a Banner in each hand, on one whereof is figured the head of Medusa, on the other the Lord Mayor 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 near Minerva Addresseth herself 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 herself, 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 expressed 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 Rays imparts  
The several Species of both Arms and Arts.  
While they did flourish she was in request,  
And held a jewel for a Prince's breast;  
When now her Glory is Eclipsed, and she  
Wanders in Rags, and despised Poverty.  
Let parts be what they will, Fools only scan  
The Outside, not the Inside of a Man.  
If she address herself to Court (the place  
Where she should find acceptance, and a Grace)  
The wanton leer 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 City's Fame.  
Both Arts and Arms shall glorify your Name.  
Perpetuate your Memory, and raise  
From this day's Basis Pyramids of Praise.  
The Speech ended, his Lordship and his Attendants retire to Guild-Hall to Dinner, and the Company to the place of their Refreshment; and after Dinner are again by the Foot Marshal set in Order as in the Morning, only the Pensioners carry in stead of Javelins and Targets, Torches to attend my Lord, the Aldarmen, and Companies from St. Paul's, to which place his Lordship directs his passage, and the Pageants to wait his Coming from thence, hasten towards his Lordship's house in Mincing-lane, and the Pageants are placed in Grace Church-street; and at Mincing-lane end near Cloth-workers-Hall; his Lordship (upon his Return from Paul's) is Accosted by the person representing the Turk in these words;   

SPEECH.  
MY LORD,  
THe Company on whom I wait,  
Command me to salute you at your Gate  
With their fraternal-hearty-wishes; May  
Your Joys exceed the Glory of this Day.  
May never Night approach them, never Ill  
Divine them, but be fair and rising still.  
May you in Traffic no Disaster know,  
Your Riches never Ebb, but ever Flow.  
Piety be your practice, and the poor.  
Never go emptyhanded from your door.  
May you grow up in Honour's seat, and prove  
A Subject for your King, and City's love.  
May you live Centuries of years, and see  
Yourself still young in your posterity:  
And so your Company bids (in your own right)  
Good Morrow to your Glories, not Good night.  
Which ended, and his Lordship entered 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 especial care to lodge the silkworks and Triumphs in some secure place till they can remove them to Skinners-Hall, in regard they are of some weight, and the burden of the day was heavy to the Undertakers.   
FINIS.
