the Quéene Prince Charles and the rest aforesaide they returned into the banquetting house with great ioy The Lady Elizabeth being thus made a Wife was led backe not by two Batchellors as before but

excéedingly thicke with gold lace bearing in their hands sixe siluer Trumpets who no sooner comming into the Banquetting house but they presented him with a melodious sound of the same flourishing so delightfully that it greatly reioyced the whole Court and caused thousands to say at that instant time God giue them ioy God giue them ioy Thus preparing for dinner they passed away a certaine time and after fell to Dancing Masking and Reuelling according to the custome of such Assemblies which continued all the day and part of the night in great pleasure The order of the Mundayes showes with the Kings running at the Ring with the Nobilitie of the Land THe next day being Shroue-munday by the King and Nobilitie of England was spent in great honour where their rich Robes of Estate seconded the day before with many commendable graces for the whole Court so gloriously shined with Imbrothered abilliaments that it made euen a smiling chéerefulnes sit vpon the countenance of many thousand beholders For the Kings Maiestie in his owne person accompanied with his braue spirited sonne Prince Charles of great Brittaine the Royall Bride-groome Count Pallatine the Duke of Linneux with diuers other of the Earles and Barrons of England and Scotland together with the praise-worthy Péeres of the Netherland Prouinces performed many famous races at the Ring an exercise of much renowne and honour and the knightly sports and the Royall delights onely befitting the dignitie of Kings and Princes and of the chiefest Nobilitie First about the rayles or lists in the Tylf-yard adioyning to White Hall were placed many Herolds at Armes to beautifie the honourable atchiefements of these knightly Potentates and withall the Knight marshall of England and his seruants all in new liueries with their staues of office to abate the too forward vnrulines of many disordered people which otherwise would haue much troubled the Turnaments and as an ayde vnto them many of his Highnes Yoemen of the Guard were attendant in the listes and withall most of the Kings Trumpetters in their rich imbrothered coates the pentioners and Knights of his graces houshold with their guilded Pole-axes guarding as it were in a round the King with his Knightly followers The Quéenes Maiestie with her daughter the Princes Elizabeth attended on by many of the greatest Ladies of the Land being placed in the Galleries and windowes of the Banquetting house In the presence of many thousands of his Subiects the King mounted vpon a Stéed of much swiftnes was the first that began the honourable pastimes and like a most noble martialist tooke the Ring vpon his speare thrée seuerall times together whereat the trumpets still sounded to the great ioy of all the beholders After him the Illustrious Prince Count Palatine vpon a horse of that braue courage which séemed to stand vpon no ground where with a spirit of much forwardnes he tooke the Ring vpon his speare twise together so lightly and so nimbly that the whole assembly gaue him high commendations After him the braue young flower and hope of England Prince Charles mounted as it were vpon a Spanish Iennet that takes his swiftnes from the nature of the winde most couragiously and with much agillitie of hand tooke the Ring clearely foure times in fiue courses which was in the eye of the Kings Maiestie and the Nobilitie there present a sight of much admiration and an exceeding comfort to all the land The Duke of Lineux the Earle of Arundell the Earle of Dorset the Lord Haddindon with diuers other Barrons of England and Scotland afterward in honour of this magnificent mariage performed many worthy races and many times tooke the Ring with much strangenes a pleasure so princely that it euen made the beholders hearts to leape with ioy The Quéenes Maiestie with her daughter the Princes all the while standing in the windowes as eye-witnesses to these noble delights smiled with much chéerefulnes graciously thanking them all for their loues but especially the new married Bride in honour of whose mariage all these courtly pastimes were performed Of the Maskes and Reuells presented by the Gentlemen of the Innes of Court vpon the Munday night THe procéeding Night sports were as sumptuous as the passed dayes and in as gallant a manner performed whereof

to sée the same which at the time appointed was in this maner accomplied The manner of a Sea fight shewed vpon the Thames vpon the Saterday before the wedding BEtwéene the howers of two and thrée of the clocke the same day in the after noone being Sroue-saterday the Kings Maiestie accompanied with the Quéene and the rest of the Princes and Péeres of estate to adde the more glory to these pretended showes placed themselues in great royaltie vpon the priuie staires of white Hall where after a while expecting the beginning of the desired fireworkes the Lord Admirall sent forth two or thrée gentlemen in a whirrie with a flagge or banner to signifie the King and the Nobilities tarriance for the representations which was answered with an Intelligence by the report from a great cannon whereupon a certaine Venesian man of Warre and a ship called a Caruell came proudly with their flagges and colours sayling vp in the sight of seuentéene Turkish gallies which lay houering vpon Lambeth side betwixt whom was a most royall and praise worthy Imitation of a sea fight in such sort performed as if the danger of such an Enterprise had bene by true action attempted all which explaines the honors of martialists and made his Maiestie with many thousands of people of all sorts and of many Nations eye-witnesses of the true manner of such like incounters But not to be troublesome in my discourses I will briefly explaine the incounters as they passed There was a barre or a kind of artificiall fence made vpon the riuer of Thames with Barges and Lighters chained together to kéepe out passengers which otherwise with much vnrulines would haue hindered the pastimes and much troubled the performers but being thus hemde in as it were vpon the maine Seas the two Venetian shippes as I said before falling within danger of the Turkish gallies indured a fresh encounter and long time most worthily defended themselues but by reason of the number of the gallies they were at last boarded taken and carried as boote and prize vnder the commaund of a Turkish Castle which represented and bare the name of the castle of Argeir Furnished with 22. well approued great péeces of Ordinance which was contriued and built vpon Lambeth side at a place named Stand-gate inuironed with craggie Rocks as the said Castle is now scituate in Turkie After the Gallies had taken these Venetian ships and deliuered them into the Turkish Admiralls commaund they had sight of an other Argosay or Galliaza which séemed to be of Spaine which likewise after a fierce conflict they made prize of and with much tryumph rendred the same vp also to the Turkish Admirall After this vpon a suddaine there was a thundring peale of Ordinance or Chambers placed in Lambeth Marshe wherevpon the Scoutes and Watches of the Castle discouered an English Nauie to the number of fiftéene Saile of the Kings Pinnaces making vp towards the point with their red crost Streamers most gallantly wauing in the Ayre to the great delight of all the beholders which as then seemed to couer ouer the Thames in Boates and Barges Neare vnto this place stood a high built watch Tower or Beacon of the Turkes which at the first sight of the English Nauie was set on fire as the manner is at all such incursions which blazing Light as it séemed gaue notice to the Castle and caused a readines in the same for defence In the meane time the Kings Pinnaces and the Turkish Gallies ioynde betwixt whom were showne many strange attempts euen as they had ventured their very liues for their countries safeties they spared neither powder nor pollicie to sacke one an other but on both sides bestird themselues so brauely that his Highnesse withall the rest of his attendants were therewith much delighted At last the Gallies being ouercharged with long and forward incounters of the English Nauie for refuge and shelter made new vnto the Castle which began likewise to play brauely vpon the English and with their thundering ordinance made as it were the ground to shake The Kings Nauie to answere them was not backward in a performance but made the ayre gloomie with fire and smoake rorering from their lowde mouthed Cannons The fight for a time continued fiercely the victorie leaning to neither side either of them attempting to assault and board each other but at last the Gallies being sore bruzed and beaten began to yéeld wherevpon the English Admirall fell downe and cast anker before the Castle and then spared not in the best manner to thunder off their Ordinance whereat the Turkes yéelded both Castle and Gallies and submitted to the conquest of the English Admirall who fiered many of the said Gallies sacked the Castle and tooke prisoner the Turkish Admirall with diuers Bashawes and other great Turkes and also recouered the Venetian and Spanish Shippes before taken by the Gallies After the performance of all these aforesaid the English Admirall in a most tryumphant manner carried as a prisoner the Admirall of the Gallies attired in a red Iacket with blew sléeues according to the Turkish fashion with the Bashawes and the other Turkes guarded to his Highnes priuie staires of white Hall where his grace Prince Palsegraue and his Lady remained which prisoners were lead by Sir Robert Mansfield to the Lord Admiral and by him they were conueyed to the Kings Maiestie as a representation of pleasure which to his Highnes moued delight and highly pleased all there present All these aforesaid pastimes were most nobly performed betwéene the howres of thrée and sixe in the after noone to the great content as well of forraigne nations as of our owne country people whereof in one place and at one time hath bene seldome séene a greater number Also for a Farewell to this dayes pleasures a traine of Chambers were discharged in Saint Georges Field of a long continuance and of such an Ecchoing thunder that they euen amazed the hearers Thus ended Saterdayes shewes vpon the waters being the eue of this great

THE MARIAGE OF Prince Fredericke and the Kings Daughter the Lady ELIZABETH vpon Shroue-sunday last BEing desirous to giue satisfaction to certaine of my acquaintance in the countrey most willing to vnderstand the manner of the tryumphes holden at the royall marriage of his Maiesties daughter Princesse Elizabeth I haue made meanes for the true intelligences thereof and I hope according to the content of the Reader I haue set forth here a true discourse of the same First of the shewes and Fireworkes vpon the waters before the mariage performed vpon thursday night being the eleuenth of Februarie Then the imitation of a Sea Fight vpon Saterday following Also of the royall and Princely passage of Prince Palsegraue with his renowned bride to his highnes chappell at white Hall where in the presence of his Maiestie and the noble state they were married to make vs reioyce with a wished happines with the maskes and reuels following shewes of more royaltie then euer in this Age was séene in the court of England Therefore let the Readerd hereof prepare himselfe to entertaine them with extraordinarie ioy and receiue the good will of the writer for a tribute to be paide as a dew to his countrey The manner of the fireworkes shewed vpon the Thames vpon the Thursday before the wedding TO begin these tryumphant sports his highnes the Quéenes Maiestie Prince Charles Prince Fredericke with the Princes Elizabeth his royall bride and the rest of the nobilitie of England vpon Thursday the eleuenth of Februarie in the euening being placed in the galleries and windowes about his Highnes Court of white Hall where in the sight of thousands of people many artificiall conclusions in Fireworkes were vpon the Thames performed and that the pleasurable sights on the water might equall the sumptuous showes on the land thus they procéeded First for a welcome to the beholders a peale of ordinance like vnto a terrible thunder ratled in the ayer and séemed as it were to shake the earth Immediately vpon this a Racket of Fire burst from the water and mounted so high into the Element that it dazeled the beholders eyes to looke after it Secondly followed a number more of the same fashion spredding so strangely with sparkling blazes that the skie séemed to be filled with fire or that there had béene a combate of darting starres fighting in the ayre and all the time these continued certaine cannons planted in the fields adioyning made thundring musicke to the great pleasure of the beholders After this in a most curious manner an artificiall fireworke with great wonder was séene flying in the ayre like vnto a dragon against which an other fierie vision appeared flaming like to Saint George on Horsebacke brought in by aburning Inchanter betwéene which was then fought a most strange battell continuing a quarter of an hower or more the dragon being vanquished séemed to rore like thunder and withall burst in péeces and so vanished but the champion with his flaming horse for a litle time made a shew of a truimphant conquest and so ceased After this was heard an other ratling sound of Cannons almost couering the ayre with fire and smoake and forthwith appeared out of a hill of earth made vpon the water a very strange fire flaming vpright like vnto a blazing starre After which flew forth a number of rackets so high in the ayre that we could not chuse but approue by all reasons that Arte hath excéeded Nature so artificially were they performed and still as the Chambers and Culuerines plaide vpon the earth the fireworkes danced in the ayre to the great delight of his Highnes and the other Princes Out of the same mount or hill of earth flew an other strange péece of artificiall fire-worke which was in the likenes of a hunted Hart running vpon the waters so swiftly as it had bene chaced by many huntsmen After the same issued out of the mount a number of hunting hounds made of fire burning pursuing the aforesaid Harte vp and downe the waters making many rebounds and turnes with much strangenes skipping in the ayre as it had bene a vsuall hunting vpon land These were the noble delights of Princes and prompt were the wits of men to contriue such Princely pleasures Where Kings commands be Art is stretcht to the true depth as the performance of these Enginers haue here approued But now again to our wished sports when this fiery hunting extinguished and that the Elements a little cleared from fire and smoake there came sayling vp as it were vpon the Seas certaine shippes and gallies brauely rigd with top and top gallant with their flagges and streamers wauing like men of warre which represented a Christian Nauie opposed against the Turkes where after they had a while houered preparing as it were to make an incursion into the Turkish countrey they were discouered by two Towers or Castles of defence strongly furnished to intercept all such inuading purposes so sending forth the reports of a cannon they were brauely answered with the like from the gallies banding fire and powder one from an other as if the God of battels had béene there present Here was the manner of a Sea Fight rightly performed First by assayling one an other all striuing for victorie and pursuing each other with Fire and sword the Caluerines merily plaid betwixt them and made the ayre resound with thundring Ecchoes and at last to represent the ioyes of a victorie the Castles were sacked burned and ruinated and the defenders of the same forced to escape with great danger During the time of all these triumphant exercises there was not a man vnbusied but euery one laboured some on Land some on Water some one way some an other to moue his Highnes and the rest of his princely friends a pleasing content which hee and the other Princes with a gratious acceptance applauded to the great comort of the performers and no litle ioy to the beholders The next morning being Fryday his Highnes not intending to grace the following sports with his presence gaue cause of forbearāce with some rest to the Enginers for their great toyle the night before Moreouer it was thought conuenient that a whole dayes preparatiō should be made in prouiding against the Saterdayes pastimes which moued a more longing desire in the harts of his subiects
