which by the several Companies were freely Contributed, in expression of their Loyalty.
They have Ordered, that Signs be taken down, the Streets Railed on both sides, the Houses, and Windows a∣dorned with rich Carpers, and Tapistry.
The Aldermen have thought fit to place themselves in Cheapside, on the Front, or East side of the Triumphal Arch. At his Majesties coming thither, the Recorder of London, Sir William Wilde, salutes him with a Congratulatory Oration, which done, He makes. Him an humble Present from the CITY, in Testimony of their dutyful Affection.
Along the Streets on the North-side, stand the Companies with their several Trophies, and other Ornaments: disposed nearer or farther from the Triumphal Arches, according to their particular Dignities; opposite to whom (on the South-side) are placed the Trained Bands.
In St. Paul's Church-Yard upon a Scaffold, erected for that purpose, stand the Children of Christ's Hospital in blew Coats, to which belong bleven hundred, a numerous Testi∣mony of the Charity of this Honourable City; as soon as His Majesty is come within View, they begin to sing a Hymn, and at His approach, one of them maketh a Speech in Prose; which ended, and His Majesty passing on, they sing another Hymn.
