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

A TRUE RELATION OF THE Ceremonies At the CREATING of the KNIGHTS Of the Honourable ORDER of the BATH the 18 19. April 1661. With a Perfect LIST of their Names in the same Order as they were Knighted by His MAJESTY In uno tria juncta LONDON Printed for Philemon Stephens at the Kings-Armes over against the Middle-Temple-Gate in Fleet-street Advertisement THe Reader may please to take notice That the Manner of Creating the Knights of the Antient and Honourable Order of the Bath lately Printed by Philemon Stephens was neither False nor Erroneous as some would have it but was Verbatim taken out of Mr. Dugdales learned Description of Warwick-shire fo 531. and onely wanted this Advertisement That that was the Antient manner used before the Reformation which is now in many particulars altered and in some abrogated Since that Pamphlet was published the News-Book which came out the 25 of April Pretends to tell you the Formalities but is both Defective in many particulars and Erroneous in others As that the Knights met on Thursday 10 of April And that the next day they Dined in the Painted-Chamber c. This Paper therefore offers you an Exact Account of all the Formalities and Ceremonies from diligent Observers present at them All And a perfect List of the Knights in such Order as his Majesty was pleased to Confer that Honour upon them Philemon Stephens The Ceremonies at Installing the Knights of the Honourable Order of the BATH 19 April 1661. ON Thursday 18 April 1661 those Lords and Gentlemen who were by his Majesties Command called by the Lord Chamberlains Letter to be Knights of the Bath met about four of the Clock in the Afternoon at the Court of Requests at Westminster where the Duke of Ormond the Earles of Northumberland Suffolk Lindsey and Manchester His Majesties Commissioners for that purpose Sate attended by Sir Edward Walker Garter Principal King at Arms and other Heralds and by Sir John Eaton Huissier of the Black Rod and called over a List of the Names of those Persons in such order as they had been Rancked by the said Lords Commissioners which was for the most part according to their proper places Of the whole Number in the List only 3 or 4 were absent so that 68 onely Appeared and Answered to their Names and were Directed by the Heralds to proceed orderly towards Henry the 7ths Chappel the Junior Knights first each between his two Esquires and the Page following him both Knights and Esquires were then in their ordinary Habits most Regularly in Black some of the Heralds going before them with their Coats of Office upon their Armes When they came to the Chappel every Knight made the wonted Reverence to the Altar and so tooke his Seat Evening Song being done they were again called in order by the Heralds the Junior Knight first did like Reverence and went back in like order to the Painted Chamber and Rooms adjoyning where they Reposed themselves till Supper was ready which consisted of at least 200 dishes of meat besides a noble Service of Sweet-meats at his Majesties Charges This Supper was in Court of Requests where a continued long Table was set up all along one side of the Room an Escutcheon of the Knights Armes affixed upon the Hangings in order as they were first called which was a perfect Index to direct the Knights to their proper places and a means for the Esquires and Pages to find their Knights the crowd of people being great The Knights being placed on the Wall side each under his Escutcheon of Armes the Esquires stood opposite to them on the other side the Table the Antient Custome it seems was that the Knights should sit demurely for some time with the meat before them and eat nothing but retire and leave it to their Esquires but that Custome having formerly been broken it was so now also The Esquires stood bare for a short time till the Knights had begun to eat and then the Esquires either by Right or by their Permission were covered and did eat also but stood all Supper time About one of the clock in the morning Supper being ended the Lord Cornwallis and Sir Charles Berkley the Treasurer and Comptroler of his Majesties Houshold bade them Welcome in his Majesties Name and then conducted them to the Painted Chamber where and in the Lords House and other Roomes adjoyning their Bathing Tubs and Beds which were Pallets with Canopies were prepared which Canopies were of Red Say and the Vessels were covered with the same and at the Tester of every Bed alike Escutcheon of the Knights Armes was set up severally which directed each of them to his severall Appartiment or Stall The Linnen which was 24 Ells of Holland for every Bathing-Tub was provided by his Majesties Barber at the Knights charge and is part of his Fee and after the Knights had bath'd themselves more or lesse as they pleased they went to bed and early in the morning were bid Good Morrow by his Majesties Musick of severall kinds Then arising and Apparelling themselves in a Hermit or Cordeliers habit being a long Russed Gown with wide Sleeves and Hoods tyed close about the middle with a Cordon of Ash colour'd and Russed Silk reaching down almost to the Knees and a Handkerchef hanging thereat they proceeded to King Henry the sevenths Chappell in the same order as on the Night before and then doing the same Reverence where they heard Divine Service and took this Oath which was read to them by Sir Edward Walker before the said Lord Commissioners who were seated in the midst of the Chappell near the Altar The Oath Right Dear Brethren GReat worship be this Order to every one of you you shall Honour God above all things you shall be stedfast in the Faith of Christ
