standing on the right side of the said moâ—…t and the king of the left side And this y â— mariage being ended soleÌ„nizated which with y â— biddiges and banes therof was declared done by y â— said lord Chauncelor both in latin in english his lord ship declared also there Howe that the Emperours magestie re signed vnder his Emperial seale the kingdomes of Naples and Hierusalem to his sonne Philip PriÌ„ce of Spain wherby it might well appeare to all men that the Quenes highnes was theÌ„ maried not only to a PriÌ„ce but also vn to a king The Quenes mariage riÌ„g was a plaiÌ„ hoope of gold with out any stone in it For that was as it is said her pleasure because maydens were so maried in olde tymes Thys as I haue saide beyng ended and done The erle of Darbey beefore the quenes magestie and the Erle of Penbroke before the kinges highnes did bere ech of theÌ„ aswerd of honour And so both their maiestes entred the Quere hande in hand vnder a canapye borne by iiii knightes towardes the hie altar where after they had kneled a while with ech of them a Taper they arose and the Quene went to a seate or Traues of the right hande of the altar and the kinge to an other seate of the left

beeyng holden as the maner is Where duryng hie masse tyme the Quenes Chapell matched with the quire and the organs vsed suche swete proporcyon of musicke and harmonye as the like I suppose was neuer beefore inuented or harde The hie masse beeing done whiche was celebrated and sayd by my lorde the Bishop of winchestre hauing to his coadiutors y â— fiue bisshops afore said y â— is to say the bisshops of Duresm Ely LoÌ„doÌ„ â–ª Lâ—…ncolne and Chichestre Wherin both the Princes offering rich Iewels deliueriÌ„g their Tapers yea the kinges highnes at the Agnusdei kis syng y â— celebrator accordig to the ceremonies of mariages vsed in holy catholicke churches The king of heroldes opeÌ„ly in preseÌ„ce of both their magesties y â— whole audience solempnly proclaymed this their new stile and Title in Latin frenche in englishe The stile in Latin Philippus et Marie dei gratia Rex et Regina Anglie â—…rancie Neapolis HierusaleÌ„ et Hiberniâ—… fidei defensores Principes His paniarum et Secilie Archiduces Austrie Duces Mediolani Bur gundie et Brabantie comites Haspurgi Flandrie et Tyrolis And wheras this letter maye come perhaps from your Lordships handes in the handes of of those which vnderstaÌ„d not the latin toÌ„ge I wil therfore by your lordships leue to satisfie coÌ„tent their miÌ„des beig vnlearned not only declare y â— same stile title in English but also all suche other thinges as shal folowe in Latin The stile in Englishe Philip and Marie by the grace of god king and Quene of England FrauÌ„ce Naples HierusaleÌ„ Ireland defeÌ„ders of the faith Princes of Spain and Secyll Archidukes of Austria Dukes of MillaÌ„ BurguÌ„dy and BrabaÌ„t Counties of Haspurge FlauÌ„ders and Tirol ¶ This stile and title beeing thus proclamed the kyng the Quene departed hand in hande vnder the forsaid Canapie to my lord ChauÌ„cellers place where the quenes grace was lodged whose two most priÌ„cely most rich Abilimentes was of betin gold vpoÌ„ golde and so riche set with preci ous stones as no man coulde esteme the value therof At which place during diner time as none could be in the world more sump tuous where their magestyes dined opeÌ„ly in the hal both together at one table vnder the cloth of estate there was such souÌ„des and noise of al maner of Iustru mentes as hath been seldome hearde where also at the thirde course I perceiued all the heraldes of armes entre the hall two and two in their heraldicall gar mentes and crying three times with an hye voyce Largesse The king of them commonlye called Garter proclamed there againe the kynges highnes the Quenes new stile title in maner fourme and effect as he did in the Cathedrall churche when hie masse was done And so crying three tymes Larges agayne they departed And thus shortly to conclude there was for certain daies after this moste Noble mariage suche triumphing bankating singing masking and daunsing as was neuer in Englande here tofore by the reporte of all men Wherfore to see the kinges magestie and the Quene sitting vnder the cloth of estate in the hall where they dyned and also in the ChaÌ„bre of presence at dansing tyme where both their magesties dansed and also to behold the dukes and noble men of Spain dauÌ„se with the faire ladyes and moste beutifull nimphes of England it should seme to him that neuer see suche to be an other worlde Nowe to trouble youre Lordshyp any further with the hole perfite declaration of the riche and sundrie apparelles whiche the nobilitie of Englande and Spayne vsed and ware at and after the mariage of these two most excellent Princes it were but a phantasie and losse of paper and ynke for no mortall Princes Emperoures and kinges only except were able surely to excell them And such braue liueries as their seruauÌ„tes had I neuer sawe the lyke in all the Countreys that euer I trauayled And finally with what ryche hanginges y â— Cathedral Church of Winchester and the Quyer was hanged and the two seates where bothe the Princes sat it was a wonder to se. And againe to vew marke what Eligaunt verses in Latin of all kynde of sortes were affixed and set vp on the Cathedrall Churche dores and the portes of my Lorde Chauncellers place where the king and the Quene laye by the Skollers of Winchester Colledge in prayse and commendacion of this most noble and rare mariage of Philip of Spayne and MARI of Englande it shoulde quicken the spirites of al dull doltes to embrace good letters and of the best learned to fauour the good will of al painefull studentes I purpose for to sende the Copy of some of theym to your lordship God willing hereafter And i the meane season I will not omit two verses whiche were wrytten in a whyte fielde whych Heroldes call siluer with faire Romayne letters of blacke which they call sable aboue the inner port of the place wher the two Princes lay a month before
