so
Pythagoras
saith
,

So
it
was
in
the
feast
of
Palilia
decréed
that
no
beast
should
be
slaine
vpon
that
day
,
for
it
was
the

So

held
the
natiuities
of

,
as
the
sound
Anchor
and

For

was
lawfull
as
well
to

to
be

by
the
decree

commaundement
,
first
of
Philip
,
Alexanders
father
,
who
during
his
life
kept
solempnly
a
most
royall
feast
for
three
seuerall
daies
.
The
first
and
the
greatest
feast
was
for
his
son
Alexanders
birth
:
The
second
cause
was
,
for
that
his
Lieutenant
generall
Parmenio
had
gotten
a
noble
triumphant
victorie
ouer
the
Acaians
.
The
third
cause
was
,
for
that
his
horses
&
chariots
wan
the
garlands
at
the
games
of
Olympia
:
This
happened
all
in
one
day
,
on
which
day
Alexander
the
great
was
borne
.
The
same
very
day
the
monstrous
great
Temple
of
Diana
was
burnt
by
Herostratus
to
become
thereby
famous
,
at
what
time
the
Priestes
of
Diana
cried
out
,
Magnum

.
This
feast
Triplicia
was
long
time
after
Alexander
obserued
by
the
Macedonians
,
and
yearely
solemnized
in
memorie
of

,
with

,
vpon
the
day
of

,
called

the

to

of

about
their

in

,
and

This

,
Alexanders
chiefe

as
they
liued
,
and
disdained
to

Antigonus

Euen

,
refused
to
serue
vnder

:
and
so
of
Achilles

I
may
speake
of
others
who
refused
(
after
renowmed
and
valiant

)
to
serue
wicked
princes
&
cruell
Tyrants
.

a

for
that

After

the

Perseus
,
king
of
Macedonia
and
his

,
whom
he
conquered

:
So
that
nothing
escaped
the
Romaines
in
their
triumphs
,
for
the
greatnes
of
the
Empire
grew
such
:
But
all
these
triumphes
of
Alexander
,
of
Caesar
,
and
of
others
were
gotten
with
blood
,
and
after
lost
with

:

THe
triumph
of
Alexander
the
great
ouer
Darius
,
king
of
Persea
was
such
,
that
from
Arbela
vnto
the
great
citie
of
Babylon
,
the
waies
were
so
spread
with
all
kind
of
flowers
,
and
sweet
spices
:
on
the
one
side
of
the
way
were
Altars
thick
builded
of
siluer
,
golde
,
and
precious
stones
,
wher
the
Persian
Magi
stood
in
their
Persean

with

that
could
be
deuised
to

to
the
Goddes
,
singing

,
with
sacred

On

were

full

set
vp
with
fine

solace
the
wearie
souldiers
,
euery
table
hauing
his
banquet
equall
to
the
greatnesse
of
the
victory
:
Alexander
made
his
triumph
into
Babylon
this
way
,
After
he
had
triumphed
with
pompe
and
great
solemnitie
into
Babylon
;

This
feast
continued
fiue
daies
with
all
the
royalty
and
magnificence
of
the
world
.
I
wil
omit
his
triumph
ouer
Porus
,
king
of
India
,
which
seemed
equall
,
or
rather
greater
,
than
any
his
other
Triumphes
in
Greece
.
In
Macedonia
were
Pillers
and
Arches
triumphant
made
,
and
set
vp
as
monuments
and
Trophees
of
triumphes
,
as
the
Egyptians
had
their
Obeliskes

The

Probus
,
among

,
caused
his
souldiers
to
plucke
vp
yoong
greene
trees
by
the
Rootes
,
Circus
maximus
,
that
it
seemed
rather
like
a
great
parke
,
or
a
greene
forrest
(
than
a
Theater
to
play
on
)
wherein
were

.
In

,
the

Aurelianus
followed
in

But
our
Bacchanalia
in

is
otherwise
in

than
in

:
wherefore
,
we
may
Canere

,

,
for

With

The
natiuity
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
.
THe
natiuitie
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
seemed
so
simple
,
his
life
so
poore
,
and
his
death
so
ignominious
,
that
hee
was
a
stombling
blocke
to
the
Iewes
,
and
a
laughing
stocke
to
the
Gentiles
:
they
so
thought
,
for
that
he
was
borne
in
Bethelem
a
litle
village
in
Iudea
,
and
that
hee
liued
and
was
conuersant
among
simple
people
,
without
pomp
and
glorie
,
and
that
he
died
the
death
of
the
crosse
with
reproch
and
shame
:
supposing
him
to
bee
a
Carpenters
sonne
,
but
they
were
deceiued
,
his
byrth
was
most
glorious
,
the
appearing
of
the
Starre
prooued
it
,
the
discending
of
Angels
singing
Gloria
in
excelsis
,
did
manifest
it
,
the
comming
of
Magi
from
the
East
,
did
confirme
it
:
his
life
was
most
imperiall
,
commanding
water
into
wine
,
the
blind
to
see
,
the
lame
to
go
,
the
sicke
to
health
,
and
the
dead
to
rise
.
His
death
was
moste
triumphant
:
with
the
song
of
Hosanna
he
vanquished
deuils
,
subdued
hell
,
and
conquered
the
world
,
and
said
,
Cousumatum
est
.
Therefore
his
natiuitie
is
to
be
solempnized
of
all
Christians
,
his
life
to
be
worshipped
,
and
death
to
bee
glorified
with
Alleluiah
,
Osanna
,
and
Gloria
in
excelsis
,
songs
triumphant
and
fit
for
Iesus
Christ
our
sauiour
.
Of
the
happy
natiuitie
of
our
gratious
Queene
Elizabeth
.
WHat
shall
we
write
further
of
triumphs
and
of
natiuities
:
But
our
day
began
the
seuenth
of
September
,
the
most
happy
and
blessed
day
of
Queene
Elizas
natiuitie
,
of
whome
wee
haue
triumphed
20295
daies
,
euery
day
being
a
triumphant
day
,
sithence
her
Maiesties
byrth
vnto
this
present
time
.
With
whom
,
neither
Romulus
,
though
cannonized
,
and
after
called
God
Quirinus
:
neither
Cyrus
,
though
named
the
Great
King
:
neither
Xerxes
.
called
Titan
:
neither
Alexander
the
great
,
though
called
the
son
of
Iupiter
:
neither
Caesar
though
called
perpetual
Dictator
.
In
fine
,
neither
Assur
,
nor
Pharao
:
neither
Iew
or
Gentle
can
with
their
Triumphs
and
pomp
of
natiuities
,
match
Elizas
byrth
.
The
reason
is
plaine
,
because
her
God
is
the
God
of
Abraham
,
in
whose
seed
the
children
of
God
possesse
eternity
,
and
for
whose
sake
,
we
in
England
enioy
peace
and
quietnes
.
Thus

,
and

AFter

wrought
vnto
the
grounde
,
vpon

&
also

Scepter
,
the
Sword
and

From
his

againe
the
King
was
brought
vnto
the
high
Altar
,
where
the
Archbyshop
read
before
the
King
ex
libro
rituali
,
the
customes
,
Ceremonies
and
orders
of

Predecessors
.
After

King
with
his
right
thumb
with
the
sacred

vpon
his
arme
in
the
maner
and
forme
of

Likewise

This

the
Noblemen

After
,
in

Thirdly

he
deliuereth

These
Ceremonies
being
once
ended
,
the
Archbyshoppe
dooth
aske
the
King
certaine
questions
on
this
manner
,
as
the
Polonians
vse
at
the
coronation
of
their
Kings
.
Wilt
thou
maintaine
the
Faith
?
Wilt
thou
defende
the
Church
,
and
be
a
buckler
and
shield
vnto
the
Ministers

?
To
al
these
the
King
answereth
and
saith
,
I
will
:
&
thereupon

solempn
oath
.
Then
is
there
also
a
nobleman

This

,
certaine
of
the
chiefe
men
come
before
the
King
in
the
name
of
all
the
whole

,
laying

This

ended
,
the
Archbishop
pronounceth

,
&
saith
,
Thanks

God
,
and
therewith
the
Trompets
,
gunnes
,
belles
,
altogether
soundeth
,
with
such
noise
and
triumph
,
vntil
the
King
be
brought
againe
with
all
pompe
and
solempnitie
vnto
his
pallace
.
This
is
the
maner
and
ceremonies
of
the
annointing
and
inauguration
of
the
Kinges
of
Bohemia
at
their
coronation
.
Of
the
inauguration
&
annointing
of
the
great
Duke
of
Muscouia
,
with
the
ceremonies
at
their
coronation
.
AT
the
coronation
of
the
great
Duke
of
Muscouia
,
all
the
states
of
Muscouia
,
which
they
cal
Camesi
,
assemble
together
at
S.
Michaell
,
their
chiefe
Temple
,
the
day
appointed
for
the
coronation
:
the
Citie
is
so
strawed
with
flowers
and
sweet
odours
,
and
set
foorth
with
boughs
that
their
triumph
is
great
,
feasting
according
to
the
custome
of
the
Muscouites
.
The
great
men
meete
the
Duke
,
or
the
Emperour
,
and
bring
him
into
the
Temple
:
who
at
his
comming
into
the
Temple
,
an
old
fatherly
man
meeteth
him
,
hauing
on
a
long
garment
down
to
the
ground
,
Bombycina
veste
.
This
imbraced
the
Emperour
most
curteously
,
for
he
was
the
Metropolitane
of
Muscouia
,
In
the
midst
of
the
Temple
,
was
made
a
Theator
with
seates
to
sit
on
,
and
with
staires
to
passe
to
euery
place
of
the
Theator
,
being
set
forth
with
most
sumptuous
showes
:
The
seat
of
the
Emperours
was
made
most
roiall
,
Bombycina
vestis
,
his
hands
so
beset
with
Iewels
,
that
only
the
Emperours
hands
and
his
head
were
to
be
woondred
at
.
Now
,
the
Emperour
beeing
in
his
Pallace
,
the
States
and
the
great
men
in
their
seates
,
the
chiefe
Priest
or
the
Metropolitan
turneth
his
face
,
and
looketh
vppon
the
Emperor
,
saieng
,
My
most
louing
Sonne
,
and
great
Duke
of
Muscouia
now
the
Goddes
haue
placed
thee
in
the
highest
tower
of
Fortune
,
and
in
the
great
state
of
dignitie
,
not
to
harme
or
hurt
thy
people
,
but
to
help
and
to
guide
them
:
not
to
deuoure
them
but
to
relieue
them
,
ministring
lawes
&
iustice
to
euery
man
alike
,
laying
before
thine
eies
,
the
noble
examples
of
the
best
Emperors
:
thy
father
brought
much
calamitie
,
and
wrought
manie
daungers
to
this
Empire
.
Wilt
thou
defend
thy
countrie
with
Iustice
,
This
being
done
,
the
people
make
great
ioy
and
triumph
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
:
and
therewithall
much
money
is
throwne
among
the
vulgar
people
.
I
could
not
read
of
any
crown
,
nor
of
any
other
monuments
among
the
Muscouites
,
for
it
seemed
by
the
tyranny
of
the
Emperours
,
that
they
vse
very
fewe
godly
ceremonies
.
I
should
haue
set
downe
,
at
the
comming
of
the
great
Duke
through
the
street
,
the
peoples
throng
was
such
,
that
manie
were
with
naked
swordes
to
make
way
for
the
Emperour
to
passe
by
,
who
commaunded
by
all
rigour
and
extremitie
to
keepe
the
people
off
.
Of
the
inauguration
of
the
great
Duke
of
Hetruria
,
Cosmus
Medices

by
pope
Pius
the

with

THe

,
where
the

and
the
States
of
the
most

of
Italy
expected

,
hauing
his
triple
crown
and
his
Pontificall
robes
on
,
as
is
the
manner
at
such
solempne
inaugurations
:
Cosmus
,
Duke
of
Florence
,
which
was
to

made
the
great
Duke
of
Hetrucia
,
appareled
with
his
princely
attire
,
caried
the
Popes
traine
into
the
Chappell
of
Sixtus
:
The
Duke
was
placed
betwene
two
Priest-Cardinals
:
for
you
must
vnderstand
that
there
were
degrees
of
Cardinals
.
This
worde
(
Great
)
was
among
the
Iewes
,
Chiefe
,
as
the
high
Priest
.
Belus
magnus

Among
the
Chaldeans

Among

:
Accipe
Coronam
.
&c.
And
the
Scepter
into
his
hand
,
saiyng
:
Accipe
Virgam

.
This
being
done
,
the
Duke
of
Hetruria
kisseth
the
Popes
foote
,
&
is
brought
again
between
two
Cardinals
to
his

,
and
from
his

,
within
a

,
he
is

betweene
two
Cardinalles
to
the
Altar
to
offer
his
oblation
,
which
is
,
a
Goulden
Chalice
with
a
Couer
and
a
golden
Bason
:
vpon
the
Chalice
was
wrought
(
by
curious
Art
)
three
pictures
of
Faith
,
Hope
&
Charitie
:
which
three
,
held
the
Chalice
with
their
hands
,
hauing
vnder
their
feet
the
foure
Euangelists
:
There
was
added
also
very
curiously
on
the
Chalice
,
the
Armes
and
Ensignes
of
the
pope
,
and
of
the
great
Duke
.
The
seruice
being
ended
,
the
great
Duke
was
solempnly
againe
to
take
his
oath
,
which
was
in
this
sort
.
I

and

After
this
,
the
Pope
vsed
a
few
praiers
,
and
so
the
solempnitie
was
done
.
Of
the
ancient
and
strange
ceremonies
at
the
Election
of
the
Prince
of
Corynthia
.
CORINTHIA
,
is
a
Prouince
where
the
Sclauonians
speach
is
spoken
,
where
maners
and
customes
are
most
strange
,
and
the
like
Ceremonies
not
read
of
.
When
any
new
elected
Prince
entreth
into
his
gouernment
,
hee
is
brought
into
a
faire
large
valley
,
where
was
woont
to
be
an
ancient

,
On

farther

of
the

is
the

with

Againe

this
Oxe
and
this
Mare
shal

thine
,
and
all
the
Garmentes
which
last
the
Prince
did
put

,
So
strange
were
the
customs
and
maners
in
old
time
,
aswell
at
the
election
and
coronation
of
Princes
,
For
the
first
kings
of
the
world
vsed
for
their
Scepters
,
long
gilded
Speares
.
The
old

of

,
Tarquinius
Priscus
the

The

The

great
Axes

The

The
Babylonians
vsed

Scepters
,
with
sundrie
figures
,
as
of
Lions
,
Eagles
,
&c.
The
great
pomp
&
Solemnytie
at
the
Inauguration
of
the
Pope
of
Rome
.
THE
Pope
of
Rome
at
his
Inauguration
excelled
all
other
princes
in
solempnitie
and
pompe
,
for
after
that
the
Pope
is
new
elected
by
the
whole
Colledge
of
Cardinals
,
he
commeth
from
his
Pallace
of
S.
Angelo
,
with
great
glory
,
in
Cella
gestatoria
,
with
his
triple
Crowne
on
his
head
,
full
of
precious
stones
,
and
with
a
most
sumptuous
and
precious
robe
,
wrought
ouer
very
artificially
with
golde
,
and
set
with
diuers
stones
,
and
so
caried
to
Saint
Peters
Church
vpon
Kings
Embassadors
shoulders
.
Oh
,
Superbum
Animal
:
for
betweene
golden
and

Crosses
,
the
Myters
of
Byshoppes
,
and
Cardinalles
hats
,
shining
as
starres
,
with
diuers
kindes
of
precious

,
with
Iewels
:
the
Popes
triumpaunt
cariage
vnder
such
a
regall
Canapie
,
with
his
triple
Crowne
,
his
rich
and
Pontificall
garments
,
blessing
the
people
,
passed
farre
the
pompe
of
great
Xerxes
in
his
voyage
into
Greece
:
His
dinner
that
day
exceeded
Ca.
Caesar
,
who
in
his
triumph
ouer
Affrica
,
prepared
22000
tables
most
royally
furnished
:
and
his
banquets
after
dinner
far
excelled
the
banquets
of
L.
Lucullus
,
or
Marcus
Antonius
,
His
myrth
and
musicke
passed
the
feast
Hyacynthia
.
Of
the
most
happy
,
ioyfull
and
triumphant
day
of
her
Maiesties
coronation
,
vpon
the
15.
of
Ianuary
.
I
Need
not
particularly
set
down
the
solemnitie
of
that
day
,
neither
can
I
(
if
I
would
)
declare
the
ioyes
and
triumphs
of
that
day
:
For
,
wheras
her
Maiesties
predecessors
studied
how
one
might
excell
another
with
roialty
,
pompe
and
solemnity
of
ceremonies
:
as
Richard
the
second
,
and
after
him
,
Thomas
de
Woodstocke
the
Kings
Vncle
was
admitted
to
be
Constable
of
England
.
Thomas
Beauchamp
Earle
of
Warwicke
was
admitted
to
beare
the
third
Sword
,
for
there
were
three
Swordes
assigned
to
be
borne
before
the
King
at
his
coronation
,
but
I
find
but
two
Swordes
in
Modius
Pandectes
,
Ensis
politicus
&
Ensis
Ecclesiasticus
.
Vpon
the
day
of
the
Kings
coronation
,
the
L.
Maior
and
the
Citizens
of
London
(
by
the
Recorder
)
made
petition
to
the
King
,
that
the
Maior
might
serue
the
King
at
his
dinner
in
the
hall
at
his
coronation
.
The
first
,
the
noble
and
general
chalenge
of
Monomachia
in
Combat
with
any
Knight
of
the
world
,
by
the
Kinges
Champion
Sir
Iohn
Dymmocke
Knight
,
vppon
the
day
of
coronation
,
armed
and
mounted
on
horsbacke
,
readie
to
performe
the
chalenge
in
the
behalfe
of
the
King
.
In
the
second
ceremony
they
excelled
,
for
that
at
the
coronation
of
Henry
the
fourth
,
nine
seuerall
Conduites
ran
for
two
daies
of
Claret
wine
and
white
wine
,
in
nine
seueral
places
of
the
citie
of
London
as
plentie
as
water
to
all
passers
by
.
But
the
most
happie
,
ioyfull
,
and
triumphant
day
of
her
Maiesties
Coronation
,
not
onely
excelled
all
her
predece●●●s
,
the
Kings
of
England
,
but
all
other
forraine
Kinges
,
as
farre
as
heauen
surmounteth
the
earth
,
or
as
the
glorie
of
God
excelleth
the
pompe
of
man
,
so
far
her
Maiesty
passeth
other
Kings
in
vertue
,
religion
,
goodnesse
,
iustice
,
trueth
and
peace
it self
,
which
she
brought
with
her
vpon
the
day
of
her
Highnes
coronation
to
England
:
which
,
since
her
coronation
,
shee
planted
in
England
,
that
England
may
say
,
Haec
est
dies
quam
fecit
Dominus
exultemus
&
laetemur
in
ea
.
The
triumph
whereof
is
such
,
that
Angelles
doo
triumph
in
Heauen
,
and
good
godly
men
clap
their
hands
on

A
