most gracious and royall companie Night growing vpon them they were enforced to giue ouer their sport where taking their humble leaues of the two Kings the Queene and Prince they left the Tilt yard and being vnarmed returned to the Court where besides former graces and fauours shewed them by all their royall persons they receiued many thanks and so spent the rest of the euening in other delightfull sport till time of night called them to rest At this honorable exercise the toward and most hopefull Prince shewed himselfe in his Armour beeing gallantly mounted and a hart as powerfull as any though that his youth denyed strength For this dayes exercise all the Masters of Defence and professors therof were summond with their weapons to shew their skill that the King of Denmarke might see the manner of our fight and the varietie of weapons practised for mens defence as well in priuate quarrels as their Countries seruice but the time ouerslipt the Challenger Fencers when they had marched with their Drums and Ancients about the Tilt yard departed The next morning the King of Denmarke being desirous to see some of their practise they which were readie in the Towne hauing warning to giue their attendance in the morning early repaired to the Tilt yard and there in presence of the two Kings many of the Nobilitie and Courtiers shewed both manhood and skill wherein the Kings tooke great pleasures and gaue them Kingly thanks and fauours This sport was made more short by reason of the Kinges going from Court to see our Kinges Houses neerest London and to hunt in their Parkes After they had broken their fastes they set forwarde with their Traynes to Richmonde there that night they hunted and lay and the next day dyned at Hampton court and there hunted and killed Deate with great pleasures And surely the King of Denmarke was very much delighted with the gallantnesse of these royall Pallaces of his Maiesties as did appeare by his earnest noting of them and often recounting of their pastimes and pleasures From thence they proceeded to Windsore where he was entertayned by the King most royally heere was presented vnto him the Knights of Windsore beeing

was possest withall and the order of their first foundation and continuance the King highly commended the Founder and in cha●itie wisht the successors to the worldes end might continue so honorable an action as that whereof by Gods grace there is no doubt his Maiestie from his first comming hauing so graciously and most bountlfully shewed his zeale to that honorable action by augmenting their portions which were possest of those places Long did they not make stay in Windsor by reason that the time began to shorten for the King of Denmarkes departure wherefore after some time spent in hunting they ma●e their returne to the Court at Greenwich where her Maiestie lay and on Fryday the eight of August there ariued and so rested till Mondav following The next morning then being Saterday
