Sussex and others in their Coaches came to S. Paules Church where he walked and viewed the same and from thence to the top of the Steeple where he tooke much delight to behold the beautious scituation of London the pleasant Gardens and Fields adioyning the richnes of the Thames so surnished with Ships of great countenance and worth as he graciously applauded the excellency thereof But amongst all other things he admired most when the noble men accompanying him did report the being of a Horse vpon that place comming vp such a way of great danger and so ●ye that he tooke very good notice thereof and wonderfully did admire the same From thence he tooke his Coach with his company and passed on to the Exchange viewing the beauty of Cheape-side and the riches of the inhabitants the Goldsmiths Mercers and other wealthy trades all the way setting their commodities to sale A sight which may delight any Prince in the world to behold To grace this Royall Exchange so named by our late Royall Queene his Grace walked round about the Pawneaboue and viewed with great pleasure the same Then came hee to the Marchants walkes beneath where it was told his Highnesse the maner of our Marchants and the houres of their meetings where from all Countreys there was dayly newes to be heard by one meanes or other Heere they make great exchanges of their Marchandize make their traffike to forraigne Countreyes ship their men for seruice so that their greatest affayres were euery day twice there effected There-hence proceede they by Cornchill Gracious streete and Fanchurch to the Tower of London where our gracious Soueraigne his deare esteemed Brother King Iames met his Highnesse and with Kingly welcomes entertayned him and in his owne person conducted him to the offices of the Iewell house Wardrope of the Ordinance Mint and other places where to their Kingly presence in the Iewell house were presented the most rare and richest Iewels and beawtifull Plate so that he might well wonder thereat but cannot truly prayse or estimate the valew thereof by many thousands of pounds The like in the Wardrope where for rich Robes beset with stones of great price faire and precious Pearle and Gold were such as no King in the world might compare Besides the rich furniture of hangings cloathes of estates Cushions Chaires and Kingly furniture for his Palaces as may cause much admiration and bring great content to the beholders But passing then on to the office of the Ordinance he well viewed the warlike prouision of the great Ordinance which at an houre is ready for any seruice to be commaunded Ouer euery peece the Ladles and Spunges hang to lade them withall and the Traces and Collors for the Horses to draw them away when they shall need to serue The armory and store of small shot so well maintained and kept the numbers ready fitted of all sorts of Muskets Caliuers Petronels Dags and other seruiceable weapons as Pikes Halbards Targets Sheelds of sundry fashions for varietie antiquitie of the things and the relating of their vses did make him with great and honorable admiration to behold them all very well and commend them These rare rich and most admirable pleasant sights ouer-gone their Maiesties ascend to the Mint which they viewed and from thence to the Lyons and other wilde beasts there kept and maintained for his Highnesse pleasures and pastimes all kingly delights and such varietie as I thinke the world cannot bring in one Countrey more store as it hath bin noted by many great Trauellers who haue seene the greatest Courts of the world From this place as they went to take their Barges the King of Denmarke walked a turne or two vpon the Tower Wharfe viewing the rich and forcible Ordinance there placed whereof there was no small store as his Maiestie might well remember by the honorable peale was made him the day before at their setting forwards from the Tower to goe through the Citie When their pleasures were well delighted with these showes the Tide seruing to shoote the Bridge they tooke their Barges and were rowed to his Maiesties House White Hall At their going from the Wharfe an honorable peale of great Ordinance was discharged the Officers vsing great diligence and foresight and the Gunners applying themselues very paynefully for the performance thereof the time being so short as truly they did all deserue great commendations This day brought with honor to end they repose themselues this night and in the morning very earely being Saturday they hunted in the Parke of Saint Iames and killed a Bucke Then passed they on to Hyde Parke where they hunted with great delight spending the rest of the forenoone in following their pastime and about the time of dinner returned and there dyned and about foure a clocke their Barges being by commaundement ready at the Priuy stayres they went by water to Greenewitch The next day being Sunday her Maiesty was churched to the great ioy of all the beholders the two Kings being present at that time where they heard a learned Sermon This day they solace in their priuate delites the Kingly Brothers the Queene Prince and Nobles of both Realmes shewing by all the meanes they can their loues by variety of delight to beguise time and bid them welcome On Munday the fourth day of August the Queene who had not beene partaker of any their Kingly ports accompanyed their Royall persons and the Prince who were attended on by the Nobility and gallant Courtyers at which time their sport was to run at the ring in following which they spend that afternoone where sundry of the young Noblemen prooued their skill at that exercise but none exceld his Maiesty and the Denmarke King at whose good successe the Queene was very much delighted and tooke great pleasure therein The next day being the solemne obseruation of his Maiesties thanksgiuing for freeing his Highnesse from the treacherous practises of the Gowryes the forenoone of that day they spent in thankefulnes to God whereof his Maiestie hath a most religious and zealous care The afternoone for their delight were the Beares and Bulls brought in which sport some time was spent but made the shorter by reason of the honorable exercise of Tilting the Lords and Courtiers being readie armed vpon notice giuen them repayred to the Tilt-yard euery one with his seuerall deuice most gallantly mounted and richly armed To honor this royall presence the more the King of Denmarke armed very rich and mounted on a most stately Courser came to the Tilt and ran eight courses the first foure with the Lord of Effingam whobrake their staues most gallantly three a peece and foyled the other Then the noble and most toward Earle of Arundell ranne with his Maiestie of Denmarke and brake three staues a peece to the great ioy of all the beholders Then followed the rest of the Tilters as they were appoynted so gallantly behauing themselues as was both honorable and delightfull to that

as might ioy their Maiesties to beholde All which made so glorious a show that might well amaze the miode of a man to thinke on being a Friende but torrifie the heart of the proudst Enemie to see it When their Maiesties had viewed the whole Fleete they were rowed to the shore where on a Hill very conuenient they might ouer-looke the whole Nauie there was ordayned places for them When being seated and the word giuen euery Shippe in their due course discharged orderly their whole Ordinaunce in such order and forme the one Shippe after the other as was greatly pleasing to their Maiesties and gayned great credite to the Gunners performets of that seruice The great Shot then discharged was two thousand three hundred besides the Health at dinner which was begun with Shot and answered This welcome most Honorably performed the Kinges gaue the Lord high Admyrall and the Officers thankes for their paines and care taken herein and returned to Rochester to their Lodgings That euening the Gunners of the Nauie shewed very excelent and rare Fier-workes The next morning being Monday and the xi of August the Kings the Queene and Prince with their traynes set forwarde towardes Grauesend by the way so followed with people as was wonderfull and did make the trayne of Courtiers admire yea such was the multitude of people Londoners others which came to Rochester that thousands could get no lodginges or meate for their money The time hath brought these Royall persons neere to the Towne of Grauesend where the Port Re●ne of the Towne with his Brethren in very decent manner presented them selues to his Maiestie and offered his Office vnto his Highnesse which graciously accepted the same and deliuered it againe vnto him So passed their Maiesties forwards to the waters side at whose comming they were saluted with a mightie peale of Ordinaunce from the King of Denmarkes Admyrall and so from all the rest of his Fleete who hauing finished the two Block-houses of Tylberie and Grauesend began and thundered such a Volye of Shot as was highly to be commended Aborde the Royall Shippe of the Denmarke Kings are these Princes gone where a most hartie welcome they receaue and great cheare The Ordinaunce often times discharging vpon Healthes to all Friends which Ordinaunce was answered by our two Block-houses in such order as desarues commendations After dinner the Gunners of the King of Denmarks Shippes shewed their rare deuises of Fire-workes the beautie of which was not to be seene by reason of the brightnesse of the Sunne which dimmed the same Dinner ended and the tyde which stayeth not seruing to goe for London our gracious King Queene hauing brought his kingly Brother to his owne Shipp from whence he brought him after many kinde Adues giuen on euery side as

was most bountifull And for other places aborde the Shippes to the Maisters like Rewardes Thus haue I recounted in two seuerall Pamphlets the whole Discourse and royall Entertainement of this most Royall King whose pleasures and great welcomes in all places no Prince but may admire And most worthely was the loue of all men bestowed on his Highnesse for all courtesie and louing fauoures might be exspected from a King of his magnificence was not wanting in him as his gracious countenaunce shewed in all places Besides which it hath very seldome or neuer been seene so many Straungers togeathers in this Lande so well gouerned and so kindly vsed Such was his Princely care of them and our Nation for breeding of quarrells by any of his people that of all other Vices their charge was to keepe them from beeing druncke and withall inflicted vppon them a heuy punishment for any that should offende contrary to his commaundement for the execution of this his Maiesties pleasure herein hee appoynted a Marshall who had diuers men as Officers vnder him to haue a vigilent care ouer them which with all diligence performed the same and such as they found druncke were brought to a House appoynted for their Prison wheare their Thumbes were chayned togeather and nayled by it to a post where they remayned till some suite was made for their deliuerie hartie repentance for their faults the due execution whereof kept them in such awe that you should seldome after the first weeke see any of them out of order A comfortable hearing it is to all Christians to see so vile a sinne reformed God graunt vs all to follow like examples of well doinges preserue our dread Soueraigne Lord King IAMES the Queene the Prince and all the rest of their Royall issue And sende this famous kingly Brother a faire winde and a safe and pleasant passage to his desired Port.
