but Thee and there is none upon Earth that we desire besides Thee Many O Lord our God are thy wonderous Works which thou hast done and thy Thoughts which are to usward they cannot be reckoned up in order to Thee If we should declare and speak of them they are more then can be Numbered O Lord our God thou art terrible out of thy holy places The God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people Blessed be God CHORVS Rejoyce rejoyce O ye People for the Lord will be merciful unto his Land and to his People Deut. 32.43 The Lord will give Strength unto his People the Lord will bless his People with Peace Psal. 29.11 For who is God save the Lord or who is a Rock save our God Psal. 18.31 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting and let all the people say Amen Praise ye the Lord Psal. 106.48 Glory be to the Father c. Amen The Grand Procession when it hath been celebrated at Whitehall or elsewhere beside Windesor is for the most and principal part ordered after the foresaid manner as may be seen by the following Scheme Serjeant of the Vestry with his gilt Rod. Choristers in Surplices Gentlemen of the Chappel in Copes Sub-Dean in a Cope Dean of the Chappel in a Cope Officers of Arms. Knights-Companions Officers of the Order The Sword Soveraign under a Canopy with his Train carried up The Pensioners as before But in what this Grand Procession differs from that celebrated at Windesor we shall here note 1. Here the Serjeant of the Vestry leads the Proceeding and is followed by the Choristers 2. The Prebends and Choire of Windesor and the Alms-Knights are here wanting 3. The Sub-Dean and Dean of the Chappel are taken in and proceed next to the Gentlemen of the Chappel to whom sometimes the Soveraign's Almoner hath joined himself 4. Whilst the Knights-Companions are descending from their Stalls the Gentlemen of the Chappel go into the Vestry to put on their Copes but the Dean of the Chappel hath his brought into the Choire which he puts on below under his Seat 5. Lastly in Queen Elizabeth's Reign the Ladies Attendants went with the Pensioners on either side the Soveraign The State and Pomp of this Grand Procession appears both solemn and magnificent to the Eyes of the beholders since the glory thereof is much augmented by the 1. splendor of the Soveraign's Apparel Canopy and Train the 2. Lustre in which the Knights-Companions shine the 3. various Habits of the rest of the Proceeding the 4. rich Apparel of the Retinue attending thereupon and 5. lastly the solemnity of the vocal Musick We have already drawn into this discourse an account of the Soveraign's whole Habit of the Order and set forth the glory of his Robes the richness of his Garter Collar and George what falls to have place here is only the Apparel or Vnder Habit provided for him against this high Festival and this was heretofore made of Cloth of Gold Cloth of Baudkin and other the richest materials which in their several times were most in fashion and use the same being set out and adorned with costly Embroideries of Gold Pearl and precious Stones and sutable thereunto were the ornamental Trimmings If we look so far back as to the time of the Institution of the Order we shall see that the Founder caused to be made for him against the fir●t Feast of St. George these Garments following A Ioump containing 4 Ells of Blue Taffaty powdred with Garters the Buckles and Pendants Silver and gilt and no less than 72 Buckles were used about it and as many Pendants to adorn it As also another Ioump of Blue Sattin containing 3 Ells powdred with Blue Garters and fitted with as many Silver and gilt Buckles and Pendants as the former Besides these there was also provided for him a Sattin Coat a Cloak and Hood with 100 Garters fitted with 100 Silver Buckles as many Silver Pendants and 300 Bars of Silver But let this suffice for in recounting things of this nature the task would be endless and the satisfaction but to a few Nevertheless those who are curious to be informed of the Robes and Habits of our Kings throughout the last f●●● Centuries may meet with sufficient satisfaction even in the qualities and particulars of all the Materials among the Accompts of the Great Wardrobe in the Exchequer at Westminster The Registers of the Order have in them but light touches of this concern and not frequent neither yet such as they afford shall here follow Upon Saint George's day an 13. Eliz. it is noted that the Soveraign wearing the Collar of the Order and the rest of the Habit was pleased to the great applause of the Spectators and satisfaction of all Strangers that were there to grace the Grand Procession it self with her own presence In the 26. year of her Reign she went the Grand Procession wearing the whole Habit of the Order and a Diadem of Pearl on her head and an 28. Eliz. being gorgeously attired in the rich Habit of the Order went about the Palace at Whitehall according to the custom in Processional Pomp and Supplication But it must be confest that this Queen and only she of all the Soveraigns of this most Noble Order did sometimes publickly proceed to the Chappel aswell as to the great Closet and also passed in the Grand Procession without wearing the whole Habit of the Order as in the 8. 27. 29. and 30. years of her R●ign the Feast day of St. George being then held at Greenwich and so did she the following year when it was kept at Whitehall But this may admit of some excuse first as a Woman she thought her self not so strictly tyed to the exact observation of the Rules of so martial an Order next notice is often taken of her indisposition of health at such times and the whole Habit being thought a little too heavy and cumbersom she only wore the Collar of the Order Howbeit her other Apparel splendid attire and the Lustre of her Jewels at these Solemnities exceeded both in richness and glory all that she wore at other times Among those things which contribute to the Pomp and State of this great Ceremony the rich Canopy is not the least which is born by Knights and Gentlemen of Quality over the Soveraign's head while he passeth in the Grand Procession and till he return to the Choire door That which was carried an 18. Eliz. while this solemn Ceremony was in motion was a certain round Canopy of green Taffaty and born on the sunny side to shadow the Soveraign from the heat of the Sun by which description it should rather seem to be an Vmbrella than a Canopy for generally Canopies are of another Figure viz. an oblong square and made either
