Reader,

I Have here presented to thee the order of a Feast, and a Bill of Fare, which was taken out of the Records of the Tower; I have done it the rather, that thou maist see what liberality and hospitality there was in antient times amongst our Progenitors: this is like to Solomons royal house-keeping, yet he was one that was en∣dued with wisdom from above; by which liberality his subjects were made rich, so that silver was as plenty as the stones in the streets of Jerusalem, and there was peace in all his dayes; according to his judgement from his inspired wisdom, so was his practice, and so was his declaration: For food and raiment, is all the portion that man hath in this life.

Thus hoping to see liberality and hospitality flourish amongst us once more, as in old times,

I remain thine, W. R.

A great Feast made by George Nevill Chancel∣lor of England, and Arch-Bishop of York, in the dayes of EDVVARD the Fourth, 1468.
