builded by Water Browne Deane of Paules in the yéere 1197. first named by him Domus Dei but at the suppression of Abbies bring surrendred to King Henry the eight it was valued to bee worth yéerely 478 pound wherein was found besides the ornaments of the Church and other goods belonging to the Hospital a hundred and fourescore Beds well furnished for the receate of poore people for it was an Hospitall of great releefe but now touching the custome why thrée Sermons be made there in the thrée Holydayes of Easter wéeke I finde that in the yeare 1398. King Richard hauing procured from Rome confirmation of such statutes ordinances as were made in the Parliament begun at Westminster and ended at Shrew bury he caused the same confirmation to bee read and pronounced at Paules Crosse and at Saint Mary Spittle in the Sermons before al the people Phillip Malpas one of the Shriefes in the year 1439. gaue twenty shillings by the yéere to the thrée Preachers at the Spittle Steuen Foster Mayor in the yeare 1454. gaue forty poundes to the Preachers at the Spittle and Paules Crosse I find also that the said house wherein the Mayor and Aldermen doe fit at the Spittle was builded for that purpose of the goode and by the executors of Richard Rawson Aldermen and Isabell his wife in the yeare 1488. Likewise in the yeare 1595. the Pulpet being olde was taken downe and a new set vp the Preachers face turned toward the South which was before towards the west Also a large House on the East side of the said Pulpet was then builded for the gouernors and Children of Christes Hospitall to sit in and this was done of the goods of William Elkins Alderman lately deceased but within the first yeare the same house decaying and like to haue fallen was againe with great cost repated at the Cittyes charge And now héere is to bee noted that time out of mind it hath béene and is a lawdable custome in London that on good Fryday in the after-noone some especiall learned man by appoyntment of the Bishops hath Preached a Sermon at Paules Crosse treating of Christes passion and vppon the thrée next Easter Hollydaies Monday Teusday and Wednesday the like learned men by the like appointment haue vsed to preach on the fore-noones at the saide Spittle to the same effect and then on low sunday one other learned man at Paules Crosse to make rehearsal of those foure former Sermons either commending or reproouing them as to him by the iudgement of the learned Deuines was thought conuenient and that done he was to make a sermon of his owne study which in all were fiue Sermons in one At these Sermons so seuerally preached the Mayor with his breathren the Aldermē are acustomed to be present in their violet gownes at Paules on good Fryday in their Scarlet gownes at the Spittle vpon Monday and Teusday on the Wednesday in their violets and on Low sunday in their Scarlets againe at Paules Crosse which is vsed to this day Gent. These are lawdable customes but haue your Aldermen no place to sit in at the Spittle if it should chance to raine Cit. There is prouided for the Mayor Aldermen and Sheriffes a faire house of two stories hie to sit in and in the lost ouer them where the Bishoppe of London and other Prelates were wont to sit now stand the Ladies and Aldermens Wiues in a faire window where they may likewise sit at their pleasure And this is all the antiquity that I euer read of the Spitle Sermons And now sir considering the tediousnes of this my long discourse I will reuiue you with a few verses writ in the honor of London Londons Description That famous off-spring of downe raced Troy King Brute the Conqueror of Giants fell Built London first these mansion Towers of ioy As all the spacious world may witnesse well Euen he it was whose glory more to vaunt From burned Troy sur-named this Troynouant This name if that antiquities proue true Full many yeares in Maiesty she bore Till princely Lud did christen her anew And changd her name from that it was before So kingly Lud did shape a second frame And called this Luds Towne by his princely name Luds-towne it was and yet is tearmed so But that for briefenesse and for pleasant sound Few letters of that name it doth forgoe And London now which was once called Luds-Towne Thus Brute and Lud London parents were Since fosterd vp by many a royall peere But since that time fiue conquests haue insewd And all saue one beene glutted with red goare Yet nere were London streets with bloud imbrewd Yet still retaind the state it held before Such was her beauty and the victors pitty That spard their swords from spoyling this faire Citty From her first founders thus hath she increased Fauord of those the Diadem aduanced Scarce with their deaths their large diuosions ceased Yet by their deathes her better fortunes chanced As one gaue place and left what he intended The next successor what he found amended One famous King this Citty doth indew With wished freedomes and innimities The next confirmes augmenting it with new And graunts more large and ample liberties And thus faire Londons members strongly knitteth When Kings adorne what fame and honor fitteth From Lud vnto King Iames thus London fared Sacred Monarcke Emperour of the West To whom the world yeeldes none to be compared By Londons loue thou art heere earthly blest Mirror of mankind each lands admiration The worlds wonder heauens true contemplation Long mayst thou liue faire Londons wished blisse Long mayst thou raigne great Britaines happinesse Liue raigne and be when there no being is Triumphant ouer all that wish thee lesse In earth ador'd with glorie and renowne In heauen adorned with an Angels crowne Of Londons pride I will not boast vpon Her gold her siluer and her ornaments Her Gems and Iewels pearles and precious stone Her furniture and rich habilliments Her cloth of siluer tissue and of gold Which in her shops men dayly may behold What mynes of gold the Indian soyle doth nourish Within the secrets of her fruitfull wombe London partakes it and doth dayly flourish Ordayn'd thereto by heauen and heauenly doome All forraine Lands whome maiestie doth mooue Doe still contend to grace her with their loue What Ciuill Spaine or Portugale affordeth What Fraunce what Flaunders or what Germanie What Creet what Scicile or what Naples hoordeth The Coasts of Turkie or of Barberie The boundlesse Seas to London walles presenteth Through which all Englands state she much augmēteth If Rome by Tiber substance doth attaine Or Euphrates to Babylon brings plentie If golden Ganges Egypt fils with gaine The Thames of London surely is not emptie Her flowing channell powreth forth much profit For Londons good yet few knowes what comes of it Thus by the bounty of imperious mindes Furthered by nature with a noble floud Proud wealth and welthy pride braue London
