State to receive them they were brought up six by six each between his two Esquires with his Page carrying his Sword and Spurs before him In their Approaches before his Majesty they made three Obeysances and each Knight being presented by his Esq upon their knees to his Majesty the Lord Chamberlain of his Majesties Houshold received the Knights Sword from the Page and delivered it to his Majesty who then with the Sword of State ready drawn conferred upon them their respective Knighthoods by laying the Sword upon their Shoulders and putting the presented Sword about the Knights neck in such sort that it might hang on his left side then his Majesty put the Red Ribband with the Order hanging at it over the Knights head which Order has three Crowns of Gold Enamelled with Green and Incompassed with this Motto In uno tria juncta Which done the Knight made his Obeysances of Gratitude to his Majesty And falling back the rest were Knighted in like manner The premier Knight had his Spurs put on by an Earl according the Ancient Custome which was omitted in the rest for Brevity-Sake After they were all Knighted they went down through the Privy Gallery into his Majesties Chappel and there heard Divine Service with Musick and Anthems and then went up six at a time to the Altar and offered up their Swords where the Lord Bishop of London Dean of his Majesties Chappel Royal received them and laid them upon the Altar and afterwards restored them with this admonition By the Oath which you have taken this day I Exhort and Admonish you to use these Swords to the Glory of God and Defence of the Gospel to the Maintenance of your Soveraigns Right and Honour and to the upholding of Justice and Equity to your Power So help you God Whilst the Bishop laid the Swords upon the Altar each Knight presented an Angel of Gold into a Gold Bason held by a Divine of his Majesties Chappel who stood on the left hand of the Bishop to Receive them This done the Knights returned from the Chappel but at the door the Kings Master Cook stood with his Apron on and Chopping Knife in his hand and as every Knight passed by Said thus Noble Knight You know what a great Oath you have taken which if you keep it will be great Honour to you but if you break it I must back off your Spurrs at your Heeles as unworthy of this Dignity which God forbid And for Redemption of his Spurrs each Knight gave the Cook a Noble for his Fee When they came to the great Hall the Officers at Arms acquainted them that on Munday following they were to attend his Majesty from the Tower to White-Hall on
