Reader for the better vnderstanding of this discription following especially to whom the scituation of the place is either lesse knowne or not at all they are therefore to note that Theobalds vvhether the Kings Magestie came vpon Tuesday being the third of May accompanied with his whole traine is a Princely Mannor belonging to the right Honorable Sir Robert Cecill principall Secretarie to his Magestie and one of his Highnes Priuie Counsell seated in the countie of Essex twelue miles distant from London directly by North neere to an ancient towne called Walton-crosse This house is not placed adjoyning to the high way side as manie sumptuous buildings are in that countrie and thereabouts but especiallie betweene that place and London the most part whereof belong to the cittie Marchants but hath a most statelie walke from the common street way whereby passengers trauaile vp to the Pallace by the space of one furlong in length beset about either side with yong Elme and Ashe trees confusedly mixt one for another from the high-way to the first court belonging to the house contayning in breadth three rods which amount to some fifteene yards in fashion made like a high ridge land or the middle street way without bishops gate His Magestie hauing dined vpon that same day with Sir Henrie Cocks at Broxburne foure miles distant from Theobalds about halfe an houre after one a clocke in the afternoone his Highnesse proceeded forward toward Theobalds accompanied with Sir Edward Dennie then shriefe of Essex hee had followers an hundred and fiftie in parti-coloured hats red and yellow bands round rould with a feather in euerie one of them of the same colour besides two trumpeters all which were in blew coates gallantly mounted There did accompanie his Magestie from Broxburne manie of the Nobilitie of England Scotland As his Highnesse was espied comming toward Theobalds for very ioy many ran from their carts leauing their teame of horse to their owne vnreasonable direction After his approach nigh vnto Theobalds the concourse of people was so frequent euery one more desiring a sight of him that it were incredible to tell of And it was wonderfull to see the infinit number of horsemen and footemen that went from the cittie of London that day thetherwards and likewise from the counties of Kent Surry Essex Middlesex besides many other countries There were in my companie two more who after I had put it into their mindes what infinit numbers of horse and foote passed by vs after our breakfast at Edmunton at the signe of the Bell wee tooke occasion to note how many would come downe in the next houre so comming vp into a chamber next to the street where wee might both best see and likewise take notice of all passingers wee called for an houre-glasse and after wee had disposed of our selues who should take the number of the horse and who the foote wee turned the houreglasse which before it was halfe runne out we could not possiblie truelie number them they came so exceedinglie fast but there wee broke off and made our account of three hundred and nine horse and an hundred thirtie seauen footmen which course continued that day from foure a clocke in the morning till three a clocke after noone and the day before also as the host of the house told vs without intermission now whether euerie equall space did equall the number of these I cannot justly say therefore I forbeare to set it downe When we were come to Theobalds wee vnderstood his Magestie to bee within the compasse of three quarters of a mile of the house at which tidings wee deuided our selues into three parts each one taking a place of speciall note to see what memorable accidents might happen within his compasse one standing at the vpper end of the walke the second at the vpper end of the first court the third at the second court dore and we had made choice of a gentleman of good sort to stand in the court that leads into the hall to take notice what was done or said by his highnesse to the Nobilitie of our land or saide or done by them to his Magestie and to let vs vnderstand of it all which accidents as they hapned in their seuerall places you shall heare in as few words as may be Thus then for his Magesties comming vp the walke ther came before his Magestie some of the Nobilitie some Barons Knights Esquires Gentlemen and others amongst whom was the Shriefe of Essex and the most of his men the trumpets sounding next before his highnesse sometimes one sometimes another his Magestie riding not continually betwixt the same two but sometimes one sometimes another as seemed best to his highnesse the whole Nobilitie of our land and Scotland round about him obseruing no place of superiotie all bare-headed all whom alighted from their horses at their entrance into the first court saue onely his Magestie alone who rid along still foure Noble men laying their hands vpon his steed two before and two behind in this manner hee came till hee was come to the court dore where my selfe stoode where hee alighted from his horse from whom hee had not gone ten princely paces but there was deliuered him a petition by a yong gentleman his Magestie returning him this gracious answere that he should bee heard and haue justice At the entrance into that court stood many noble men amongst whom was Sir Robert Cecil who there meeting his Magestie conducted him into his house all which was practised with as great applause of the people as could bee hartie prayer and throwing vp of hats His Magestie had not staied aboue an houre in his chamber but hearing the multitude throng so fast into the vppermost court to see his highnesse as his grace was informed hee shewed himselfe openly out of his chamber window by the space of halfe
