The
fourth
Presentation
is
Called
Brittannia's

THis

a
Magnificent
Structure
,
Aduancing
it selfe
from
the
Platforme
,
or
Ground-worke
vpward
,
with
the
Bewty
of
eight
Antique
Termes
,
By
whose
strength
is
supported
a
Foure
square
Building
;
The
Toppe
of
which
is
a
Watch-Tower
,
or
Lanthorne
,
with
eight
Columnes
of

:
And
,
on
the
Highest
poynt
of
this
Watch-Tower
,
is
Aduanced
a
Banner

bearing
the
Cullors
of
the

At
foure
Corners
of
the

Square
,
stand
foure
Pendants
;
In
which
are
the
Armes
of
the
foure
Companies
of
which
his
Lordship
is
Free
.
At
each
end
of
this
Platforme
,
stands
a
great
Corynthian
Brazen
Pillar
,
on
a
Pedestall
of
Marble
.
On
the
Capitals
of
those
Pillars
,
stand
two
Angels
,
in
Postures
ready
to
flye
:
holding
Garlands
of
Victory
in
one
hand
,
stucke
with
White
and
Red
Roses
,
and
Branches
of
Palme
in
the
other
.
The
Capitals
and
Bases
of
the
Pillars
are
Gold
,
and
are
Emblemes
of
the
two
Houses
of
Yorke
and
Lancaster
;
once
diuided
,
but
now
Ioyned
into
One
Glorious
Building
,
to
Support
This
Royal
Kingdom
,
&
Consequently
This
Citty
.
At
Night
,
in
place
of
the
Angels
,
are
set
two
Great
Lights
:
and
so
is
the
Watch-Tower
at
that
Time
,
Filld
with
lighted
Tapers
.
Vpon
the
same
Square
,
in
foure
seuerall
Places

are
Aduanced
foure
stately
Pyramides

being
Figures
,
of
the
foure
Kingdomes
Embellished
with
Escutcheons
.
In
the
vpper
seate
of
all
(
fashioned
into
a
Throne
)
is
placed
Britannia
,
Maiestically
attirde
,
fitting
to
her
Greatnesse
.
Beneath
Her

and
round
about
Her
,
are
these
Persons
:
viz.
Magnanimity
with
a
drawne
Sword
.
A
Shipwright
with
a
Mallet

Scutcheon

is
drawne
a
Ship
vnder

Then

A
person
representing
Victory

a
Palme
Tree
.
Prouidence
with
a
Trumpet
,
ready
to
Foresee
Dangers
,
and
awaken
Men
to
meete
them
.
All
These
haue
bene
,
and
still
are
,
Watch-Towers
,
and
Lanthornes
,
in
the
Nights
of
Feare
and
Trouble
,
to
Guard
the
Kingdome
,
and
in
the
Kingdome
,
This
Citty
.
In
other
Eminent
places
are
seated
some
of
those
Kinges
of
England
(
in
Robes
Ermynd
)
whose
loues
and
Royall
fauors
,
in
former
times
were
Watch-Towers
to
Grace
London
,
stucke
full
with
the
Beames
and
Lights
of
Honors
,
Titles
,
Offices
,
Magistracies
and
Royalties
,
which
they
Bestowed
vppon
Her
.
Edward
Confessor
,
called
Londons
Chiefe
Ruler
,
a
Port-reue
.
Richard
1.
appointed
two
Bayliffes

London
.
King
Iohn
gaue
the
Citty
a
Lord
Maior
and
two
Sheriffes
.
Henry

added
Aldermen
.
These
were
Tender
ouer
the
Renowne
of
the
Citty
,
and
still
heaped
on
her
head
,
Royalties
vpon
Royalties
.
And
albeit
most
of
our
Kinges
,
haue
in
most
of
all
of
the
twelue
Companies
,
Entred
their
Names
,
as
Free
of
the
Societies
,
thereby
to
Royallize
their
Brotherhoods
:
And
that
many
of
our
Kinges
likewise
,
besides
Princes
and
Great
Personages
,
haue
bin
Free
of
This
Company
,
whose
Names
I
forbeare
to
set
downe
,
because
they
haue
in
former
yeeres
beene
fully
exprest
:
yet
no
Company
,
did
euer
,
or
can
hereafter
,
receiue
such
Graces
from
Kinges
,
as
This
Antient
,
and
Honord
Corporation
of
Skinners
,
hath
had
,
and
still
haue
,
In
regard
that
All
our
Kinges
and
Princes
,
sit
in
their
high
Courts
of
Parliament
in
Robes
Ermynd
,
(
being
the
richest
Furre
)
the
workemanship
of
which
goes
through
the
Skinners
fingers
,
wearing
likewise
vnder
their
Crownes
,
Royall
Caps
of
Honor
Ermynd
.
Three
of
such
Crownes
,
beeing
the
rich
Armes
of
This
Company
,
thereby
expressing
as
well
their
Honor
,
as
Antiquity
.
