Ermines and some small degree below them sat all the Councellors of the high Courts of Parliament in gownes like vnto the Presidents and other things appropriated vnto their places In opposition vnto these and in seats of like eminence sat first alone by himselfe the Prouost of the Merchants of Paris cloathed in a long roabe of Crimson and Purple or Violet coloured Veluet and neere vnto him the Sherifes of the Citie of Paris and other principall Magistrates which were of especiall note both in the Citie and in the Vniuersitie Not far from these seates and in the quire also was mounted another scaffold or flore being raised full three steps high vpon which was mounted another large and goodly Canopie or Tent royall vnder which the K. the Q. and the Q. mother Monsieur the Kings brother were placed and conducted this thereby the Duke of Cheureuse and the two extraordinarie Embassadors for the maiestie of great Brittaine who after they had seene euerie ceremonie fitted they withdrew themselues into the Archbishops pallace vntil the whole seruice was ended then they returned againe to the K.

neuer seene more pleasant neuer more abundantly clothed with contentments and comforts But here least I might be thought to gallop too swiftly ouer the glorie of this high state and magnificence and like the dogs vpon the riuer Nilus to catch here and there a lap running I will borrow leaue a little to speake of the powerfull state and magnificence of this hardly paralleld feast and sumptuous

stretched out from the one end of the hall to the other and being couered and adorned with wonderfull rich damaske and the salts and other apparrell of infinite price and valew the King of France sat in the middest of the table and was serued by the grand Prior of France who that day represented the person of the great Master of France before him marched eight drums foure fifes and sixteene trumpets besides a world of clarions hoboyes cornets and other loud instruments his person was accompanied with Monsieur Beaumont Lord grand Steward of the kings house and two and thirtie other inferior Stewards of his Maiesties houshold with white staues in their hands and other ensignes of their seuerall places The meat was this day carried vp by the Lords Princes Dukes Peeres Marshals and Barons of France followed by Knights Esquires Gentlemen of the Court and other inferiour officers and seruants Now touching the particular seruices of state you shall vnderstand that Monsier Iainuilde serued this day as the Lord great Pantler of France the Duke of Elbeufe was Cupbearer and the Earle of Harcourt was Caruer The Queene mother sat on the right hand of the King and her person was attended by the Duke of Belgard principall Sewer the Duke of Vzias and the Duke of Luxembourge The Queene of France herselfe sat on the right hand of the Queene mother and was attended by the Duke of

of the Peeres and Princes all which were serued and attended on in most magnificent and heroycall manner After the solemnitie of this great and royall feast the King Queenes and Princes returned backe to the Louuer where there was great store of Musicke Dauncing and Reuells and the ioy of that daies happie and blessed vnion depriued the night of her ordinarie accustomed dues so that rest was in a manner quite forgotten and the night and day were both thought too scant and confined to expresse a ioy so strong and dylated After these ceremonies and celebrations were to the contentment of all true hearted subiects finished the euer admired and most excellent Queene of great Brittaine after some short time of repose with a wonderfull glorious traine of Princes Noblemen Ladies and all the choicest flowres of France tooke her happie iourney towards Bulloyne where after some trauell and the expence of some few daies her Maiestie arriued with great prosperitie for in that place lay at

power to attaine to the French shore but being there arriued immediatly the wind rose vp full North-East which was likewise the most contrarie wind for their returne that could possibly blow from any part of the Compasse neither was the Contrariety of this winde of a meane and indifferent nature but so violent feirce and impatient that it was hardly possible for any Ship to liue or Continue vpon that roade and although the necessity of their present occasion the command and seruice to which was boūd the vttermost of there obedience and many other tyes inforst them to vse all Art Care and wisedome still to continue in that place yet was the impatience of the winds so great that in despight of all art or industry the goodly and tall ship called the Prince spent an anchor of aboue 30.
