A
Full
and
True
RELATION
Of
his
Excellency
the
Pope's
Nuncio
Making
his
Publick
Entry
at
Windsor
on
Sunday
the
Third
of
this
Instant
,
July
1687.
THE
Town
of
Windsor
was
so
full
of
all
sorts
of
People
(
from
all
parts
)
that
some
of
the
Inhabitants
were
astonished
,
and
't
was
very
difficult
to
get
Provisions
or
Room
,
either
for
Horse
or
Man
;
nay
many
Persons
of
Quality
,
and
others
,
were
forc'd
to
sit
in
their
Coaches
and
Gallashes
,
almost
all
the
Day
.
So
great
were
the
expectations
of
all
People
to
see
this
Ceremony
,
supposing
it
to
be
greater
than
ordinary
,
by
reason
there
has
not
been
any
Publick
Minister
of
State
from
the
Pope
,
for
above
140
Years
,
that
hath
made
any
Publick
Entry
,
as
I
am
inform'd
.
All
the
Spectators
supposed
he
would
set
out
a
little
after
Noon
,
but
did
not
till
between
Five
and
Six
of
the
Clock
in
the
Afternoon
;
at
which
time
his
Excellency
took
Coach
(
it
being
one
of
his
Majesties
for
that
purpose
)
at
his
own
Lodgings
,
the
Duke
of
Grafton
and
Sir
Charles
Cotterel
being
in
the
Coach
with
him
;
his
Excellency
was
Cloath'd
in
Purple
,
and
a
Gold
Crucifix
hanging
at
his
Breast
.
The
First
that
appeared
in
this
Ceremony
,
was
one
of
the
Knight
Marshal's
Men
on
Horse-back
,
and
after
him
two
others
followed
on
Foot
;
after
them
went
his
Excellencies
Foot-men
,
being
Twelve
in
Number
,
their
Coats
being
all
of
a
dark
gray
colour'd
Cloath
,
with
White
and
Purple
Lace
.
After
them
followed
the
Coach
of
State
,
in
which
was
his
Excellency
,
having
four
Pages
to
attend
him
,
two
on
each
side
,
taking
hold
of
the
Coach
;
their
Coats
were
very
richly
Laced
.
His
Excellency
had
Three
Coaches
with
Six
Horses
a
piece
in
each
Coach.
Immediately
after
his
Excellency
,
in
two
of
his
Coaches
were
Ten
Priests
;
his
Coach
of
State
going
empty
.
After
them
went
the
Lord
Chancellors
,
Two
of
the
Lord
Presidents
,
the
Lord
Privy
Seals
,
and
the
Lord
Chamberlains
Coach
;
there
were
Eighteen
Coaches
more
besides
them
,
with
Six
Horses
a
piece
;
in
which
Number
the
Lord
Bishop
of
Durham's
was
one
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Chester's
another
.
In
this
Order
they
went
up
to
the
Castle
,
where
they
stay'd
about
a
quarter
of
an
Hour
,
and
then
his
Excellency
return'd
back
to
his
Lodgings
.
