The First Pageant. The LAMB. (Book 1)

UPon a Stage is a stately Pedestal richly ornamented, whereon the Coat of the Honourable Company, the Silver Lamb is plan∣ted. On a Descent beneath on the four Corners are four Palm-Trees; adorned with Crowns, Coronets and Laurels, being the em∣blematical Trophies of the Worthy Predecessors, as Members or Benefactors of the Honourable Company of Merchant-Taylors. On the four square sides, Quadranglar ways, are planted four Fi∣gures, viz. Peace, Humility, Patience and Mercy, in their proper Attire and Ornaments, these four being the requisite Attendance of Innocence, emblemiz'd in the Figure of the Lamb; and the Palm tree being not only a proper Field for the Lamb, but like∣wise alluding to Truth and Virtue, which according to the Motto of the Palm (Crescit sub pondere Virtus) the more 'tis depressed the higher 'twill rise.
