GENTLEMEN , Your humble and faithful Servant , Kings Drums and Fifes , make LONDON roar . Seven Drums and Two Fifes more in Vests of Buff March with Waste-Scarfs , and Breeches of Black Stuff . Two City Marshals mounted and attended , Are by the Company with Scarfs befriended . And ( next to th' Drums ) do Troop it in the Reer . But the Foot Marshal doth the next appear ; Who puts them all in Rank and File , and wears A Shoulder Scarf as broad and rich as theirs . Attended by six persons that dare do What e're their Marshal may Command them to . Next the Fence-Master troops , and ( to defend him ) Divers with drawn broad bright Swords do attend him . Many poor Pensioners that march i th' Rear , With Gowns and Caps , Standards and Banners bear ; A numerous Troop of Persons that are poor , In Azure Gowns and Caps , one hundred more , With Javelins and with Targets are all Actors , And bear the Arms of their good Benefactors .

Being thus prepar'd :

By the Foot-Marshals Judgment they are guided , And into six Divisions are divided : Rank'd out by two and two . The first that stirs Are the poor Company of Pensioners ; But in the front of them orderly be Placed the Ensigns of the Company . i th' Rear of them four Drums and one Fife more , Then Pensioners in Coats describ'd before . Persons of worth who do in Martial manner , Bear each of them a Standard or a Banner . Four Trumpets more to them , and in their Rear Two of the Drapers Ensigns march , which bear ( As by the Herald Painter in exprest ) The Draught of their Supporters , and their Crest : Six Gentlemen-Ushers in order trudge , And after them the Batchelors in budge : Marching in measur'd distance , and endu'd With Order , This Division doth conclude . I' th Rear of them six Trumpets do appear , And after them two Gentlemen , that bear Two Coats of Arms , which appertaining be To th' City and the Drapers Company . Then do march up Eight Gentlemen that wears The Golden Chains , then the Foins Batchelors , In amicable measure , move like Friends Fill'd with one Joy : So this Division ends . Two Gentlemen in velvet Coats array'd , March after them with two Banners display'd ; Then succeed them Ten Gentlemen-Ushers more , In Coats and Chains of Gold describ'd before ; And gradually after them you see A very worthy large Society ; With each of them a Gown and Livery Hood , And all LORD MAYORS in the Potential Mood . I' th Rear of these ( with silver sounds to fit ye ) Do fall in divers Trumpets of the City ; And after them two Gentlemen accord , To bear the Arms o' th' City and my Lord : And then the Gentlemen with equal distance That usher in the grave Court of Assistants . I' th' Rear of them , four Drums , six Trumpets , be Order'd to bring up the Catastrophe . Three Gallants gradually follow them , Bearing the Banners of the Diadem . Kings , Queens , and Cities Ensigns , which engages Six Gentlemen to wait on them as Pages ; The Masters and the Wardens bring up all . And thus equipp'd , they march from Drapers-Hall To my Lords House , where th' Aldermen and He Take Horse , and rank according to Degree : Which being done , the whole Body in State Doth move towards Guild-Hall , but at the Gate The new Lord with the old Lord Mayor unites , Guarded by Gentlemen , Esquires , and Knights . Then thus attir'd , with Gown , Fur , Hood , and Scarf , March all through Kings-Street down to Three-Crane-Wharf ; Where the Lord Mayor and th' Aldermen discharge A few Gentlemen Waiters , and take Barge At the West end o' th' Wharf ; and at the East The Court Assistant , Livery , and the best Gentlemen-Ushers : Such as stay on shore Are Ushers , Foins , and the Budge Batchelor : Who for a time repose themselves and Men , Until his Lordship shall return again : Who now with several Companies make hast To Westminster , but in the way is plac't A Pleasure-Boat that hath great Guns aboard , And with Two Broad-sides doth salute my Lord. They Row in Triumph all along by th' Strand , But when my Lord and Companies do Land At the New Palace-Stairs , orderly all Do make a Lane to pass him to the Hall ; Where having took an Oath that He will be Loyal and faithful to His MAJESTY , His Government , His Crown and Dignity , With other Ceremonials said and done , In Order to his Confirmation ; Sealing of Writs in Courts , and such-like things , As shew his power abstracted from the King , He takes his leave o' th' Lords and Barons , then With his Retinue he retreats agen To th' Water-side , and ( having given at large To th' Poor of Westminster ) doth Re-imbarge , And scud along the River 'till he comes To Black-Fryers Stairs , where Guns and thundring Drums Proclaim his Landing ; when he set ashore , He is saluted by three Vollies more

The Speech by TRIUMPH . MY Name is LONDON Triumph , Make me r��� , Hail to Your Lordship , � I am hither come With my Retinue to attend upon Bow Your Triple-crown'd Inauguration , Which doth an Emblem of your Honour shroud . You are the Sun-beams that break through the Cloud , The Sun in Aries , who are this year Brightly to shine in LONDON's Hemisphere � The influence with which you are indu'd , Are Prudence , Justice , Temperance , Fortitude . � point to them . To match with these , four bright Beams more are sent ye , Piety , Peace , with Purity and Plenty : � point to the other . These are those Graces which did wait upon Fitz-Alwin , Norman , Capel , Champion ; With many such that were Lord Mayors , and Free Of ab ' Ancient , Famous DRAPER's Company . But they are gone down many years ago � And all their practis'd Virtues you renew , The beams that set with them do rise in you . The DRAPER's Company , with Ioynt-consent To serve your Fame , have liberally spent In Triumphs for this Day Accomplishment � And wish it may as a good Omen be For the whole year of Your Prosperity : May Trade encrease , may Plenty fill the Fold , That you may turn your Fleeces into IOSEPH SHELDON K t , Lord Mayor Of the CITY of LONDON . MY LORD ,

SVccession , Election , and Desert , by their Trinity of Power in a Vnity of Consent , are manuductive in your ascension to that Chair of Equity prepared for those worthy Patriots who are to dispense Iustice impartially for the civil support of this great City ; for the which dignity , Extraction , Nature , and Education , have so copiously qualified your Lordship , that you will be able in your Governing , to satisfie the highest Expectation . It was ( not long since ) the expression of an ingenious Gentleman ( You. For besides the particular commanding Merits of so many Honourable Members of Your Society , I cannot but consider what extraordinary dazling Lustre even Your Profession it self carries with it .

When I enter into the Goldsmiths Laboratory , methinks I see even Soveraignty it self shine there : The very Strongest Nerves of War , and the Richest Blessings of Peace , in effect the only Product of Your Forge , are all Your own . Nay , even Crown'd Heads hold their very Thrones but by a Precarious Tenure , without Your Mints of Gold to support ' Goldsmiths Fellow-Labourer , whilst his most vigorous Beams warm the rich Beds , and impregnate all the whole Mineral Veins , to furnish Your Shops of Gold. Gold , I may honestly say , ( Your Handy-work ) does all Things , nay indeed is all Things , or at least makes all Things its own . is from the Golden Mine that the Pallaces of Monarchs , nay the very Temples and Altars of Heaven , receive not only their Noblest Ornaments , but even their very Foundation .

And tho' , is true , that sometimes that too fatal Mineral , may be the Temptation of Vice , or the Purchase of Shame and Injustice ; yet to over-ballance those more unhappy Influences , is no less the highest Reward of Virtue . Industry , Study , Labour , and all the honest Toils of Life sweat only for that Prize : In short , we are all Smiths at Your Anvile , and only hammer for the , 2005-09 Assigned for keying and markup 2005-10 Keyed and coded from ProQuest page images 2005-11 Sampled and proofread 2005-11 Text and markup reviewed and edited 2006-01 Batch review (QC) and XML conversion

THE Triumphs of London . Performed on Monday , You.

But in all Your Personal Accomplishments to furnish out the Magistrate , Your Lordships innate Gallantry and Honour are in a high measure owing to Your Generous Extract , and as Generous Education , Derivative from Your Veins , and suckt in from Your Cradle : Your Lordship that possibly has that extraordinary Advantage , that Additional Weight in your Scale , a Blazon so rare , or at least not in every City Coat , as to descend from that fair Original , the Ashursts of Ashurst , a Family that brought in the Gentility in their Blood , and the Normand Fleur de Lis's in their Scutcheon , with the First Great William ; and have ever since continued in that unbroken Chain both of Fortune and Reputation , as has trod as near the Heels of Nobility as any First Rank Gentry in England . And as one Honorable Derivative more of Your Lordship's , Your Ancestors have been constant Assertors and Champions of Religion and Virtue , Witness Your Lordship's Uncle in the Reign of King Charles the First , who then High Sheriff of Lancashire , had the hardy Christian Courage as to lay a Criminal by the Heels for the violation of the Sabbath day , though a Transgressor in that kind and at that time within the Verge of Priviledge , under the Umbrage and Protection of the then newly publisht Metropolitan Canterbury License and Authority .

But whilst my weak Oratory , the meanest Trumpet of a Renown so conspicuous , is only repeating of what all Tongues are already filled with ; I beseech You to believe , That this Epistle is not addrest to the Right Honourable Your Lordship ; but the Right Worthy , Sir William ; not any tributary Devoir to the Greatness You wear for a Year , but the great Soul You wear always . For as Your Lordship present Dignity is not presented You as a Gift , but paid You as a Reward ; under that consideration , to level at the true Object of our Veneration , we must look beyond the Robe You wear , to the Merit that put it on . For the Foundation of True Honour , is like that of the Pyramide : The Basis is always larger than the Pinnacle that Crowns it . is in that capacity , as both an Honour to the City , and an Ornament to Your Country , I Congratulate Your Lordship's Accession to Your Praetorian Chair , and our proud Metropolis's Happiness in such a Member , and such a Magistrate , head of every Barge . That which attends the MERCERS is thus set forth . Under a Canopy of State is seated a Virgin , on her head a Silver Coronet . Her Garment of Violet colour'd Sattin , over which is a large cloth of Silver Mantle .

Her Attendants are three Maids of Honour , and six Pages . Her Maids of Honour are habited in Cloath of Silver , their Heads neatly Ornamented .

Her Pages are habited in Cloath of Silver Doublets , and Velvet Breeches , in their Hats Plumes of Feathers , and in their Hands severall Ban�ers and Escutcheons .

They are placed three of each side the Pageant .

The DRAPERS Pageant is thus set forth . Under a Canopy of State is represented a Grave Roman Magistrate , habited in a long Robe , on his head a Helmet , in his right hand he holds a Scepter , in his left a Triple Crown , a Sword girt to him . His Attendants are four , Loyalty , Truth , Fame , and Honour . Loyalty and Truth are placed in the Front , at the two Corners ; Fame and Honour at the two Rear Corners .

Loyalty is habited like a Grave Citizen , plain and decent ; in one hand he holds a Banner of the Armes of England and Portugall impal'd , in the other hand a Sword , signifying his resolution to defend their Right .

Truth is habited in white , on her head a wreath of Stars ; in one hand she bears a Banner of the Companies Armes , in the other a little Book .

Fame is represented in a long loose light Robe , his head circled with a wreath of intermixed Colours ; in one hand he holds a Trumpet , in the other a wreath of Laurell , as intended for Loyalty .

Honour is habited in Cloath of Gold , on his head a Hat and Plume of Feathers ; in one hand he holds a Shield , in which is figured a Portuges with a Sword drawn , holding it over some India�s there , figured kneeling ; in the other he bears an Escutcheon , with the Armes of E�gland and Portugall impal'd .

The MERCHANT TAILORS Pageant is thus set forth . The Stage ( being Arms.

Charity is habit�d in a carel�sse Robe of White Silk , and a Green mantle , On her head a Coronet of Starres ; In one hand she holds a Banner , on which is Figured an Arm out of a Cloud reaching to an Almsbasket to releive a poor person � with this Motto , CONSUMMAVI .

In the other hand she bears a Banner of the Companies Armes .

The Illustrious Iames Duke of York , that never-to-be-forgotten Prince the Duke of Gloucester , the Right Honourable the Duke of Buckingham , Duke of Ormond , & the Earl of Manchester , being all free of this Company .

The GOLDSMITHS Pageant is thus set out . Under a Canopy of State sits Iustice , her hair dishevell'd . She wears on her head a golden Crown , her Garment Gold colour , girt with a girdle of Gold , in one hand she holds a Ballance , in the other a Touch-stone . At her feet is placed two Virgins , their Hair dishevell'd , their Heads are encompassed with Wreaths of Flowers of severall Colours , as the Blew , Red , and Yellow , their habits answerable . In one hand they hold a golden Hammer , in the other a golden
