albeit not in so milde a forme or temper in regarde that those dayes of disturbance and rough combustion after foure seuerall Conquests of the whole Land and vnsetled assurance in the very last

employment for mee in this your day of Triumph as best occasion shal giue way thereto heere endes my first salutations to your selfe and these graue Senators your worthy brethren who in my time were styled by the Name of Domesmen Elder-men or Iudges of the Kings Courts were then assistant to me in care counsel and fatherly prouidence for this Citties good as these reuerend men haue bin to others and now will be the like to you And so I leaue ye to your further progression The speeches at the Toombe Time Leofstane I charge thee stay Leofstane What art thou that dar'st bar me of my way Time He that suruaies what euer deedes are done Abridges or giues scope as likes me best Recalling to the present sight of Sunne Actions that as forgot haue lien at rest And now out of thy long since buried Chest At Bermondsey raisd thee to see this day Leofstane t is he that dares compell thy stay Leofstane See in how short a while a quiet Soule Hid from this world fiue hundred years and more May be forgetfull of great Times controule By such gay sights as nere I saw before My selfe yer while could tell this worthy Lord Time had reuiu'd me to attend this day Pardon me then that I durst breath a word In contestation where all ought obey needs must these gaudier daies yeild greater crime When long gran'd Ghosts dare thus contend with Time Time Enough no more Now honourable Lord For whose instalment in this Dignity Thy louing Bretheren liberallie affoord Out of their loues their glad harts simpathie And what may else thy triumph dignifie As thus I turne my Glasse to Times of old So tune thine eares to what must now be told In this triumphall Chariot thus attending Sit the supposed shapes of two great Kings That to this Citty gaue no small befriending Aduancing it from meane to mightier things From whence thy very instant honor springs For where before stearne Martial-Regiment Bare sole command grew this graue gouernment Richard the first Sur-named Lyon-heart For his vndaunted courage and great minde When in Gods cause he plaid a Champions part In faire Iudea where the Pagane blinde In Gods house would his mawmetry haue shrinde And full defac'd Star-bright Hierusalem This royall Richard foild his forces then But ere he vndertooke that holy war This Citty his cheefe Chamber did he grace With Dignity beyond the former far For Portgreues Prouosts Bayliffs held best place Such and no other then was Londons case Till he bethought him of a Lord-Maiors name And so the Title of Lord Maior first came And shall I tell ye what that first Lord was A Gold-Smith of thine owne profession Henrte Fitz-Alwine Fitz-Leofstane of honourable race Iudicious learned and of such discretion That euen by Richards owne direction All his whole time he held the State still on And so vntill the fifteenth of King Iohn Which did exceed full foure and twenty yeares That this graue Gold-Smith held authority Of the Lord Maior as by Records appeares Nineteene whole yeares this
