helpe them that trust in him But to the matter His Maiestie passed in State the Earle of South-hampton bearing the Sword before him as I before said hee was appointed to maister Oliuer Cromwels house where his Maiesty and all his followers with all commers whatsoeuer had such entertainment as the like had not beene seene in any place before since his first setting forward out of Scotland There was such plentie and varietie of meates such diuersitie of wines those not riffe ruffe but euer the best of the kinde and the sellers open at any mans pleasure And if it were so common with wine there is little question but the Buttries for beere and ale were more common yet in neither was there difference for who euer entred the house which to no man was denyed tasted what they had a minde too and after a taste found fulnesse no man like a man being denied what he would call for As this bountie was held backe to none within the house so for such poore people as would not prease in there were open beere-houses erected wherein there was no want of bread and beefe for the comfort of the poorest creatures Neither was this prouision for the litle time of his Maiesties stay but it was made ready 14. daies after his Highnes departure distributed to as many as had mind to it There attended also at maister Oliuer Cromwels the heads of the Vniuersitie of Cambridge all clad in Scarlet Gownes and corner Cappes who hauing presence of his Maiestie there was made a most learned and eloquent Oration in Latine welcomming his Maiestie as also intreating the confirmation of their Charter and Priuiledges which his Maiestie most willingly and freely granted They also presented his Maiestie with diuers bookes published in commendation of our late gracious Queene all which was most graciously accepted of his Highnesse Also Maister Cromwell presented his Maiestie with many rich and acceptable gifts as a very great and a very faire wrought standing Cup of gold goodly horses floate and deepe mouthed Houndes diuers Hawkes of excellent wing and at the remoue gaue 50. pound amongst his Maiesties Officers Vpon the 29. day being Fryday after his Highnesse had broke his fast he tooke kinde and gracious leaue of Maister Oliuer Cromwell and his vertuous Lady late Widow to that Noble and opulent Knight Seigniour Horatio Paulo Vicino Thence with many regall thankes for his entertainment hee departed to Roiston And as he passed through Codmanchester a Towne close by Huntington the Bailiffes of the Towne with their brethren met him and acknowledged their alleageance There conuoying him through their Towne they presented him with threescore and ten Teeme of horse all traced too faire new ploughs in shew of their Husbandrie Which while his Maiestie being very wel delighted with the sight demanded why they offered him so many horses and ploughes he was resolued that it was their auncient custome whensoeuer any king of England passed through their towne so to present his Excellence Besides they added that they held their lands by that tenure being the kings tenants his Maiestie not only tooke well in worth their good mindes but bad them vse well their ploughes being glad hee was Land-lord of so many good Husbandmen in one Towne I trust his Highnesse when hee knowes well the wrong will take order for those as her Maiestie began that turne plough-land to Pastorage and where many good Husbandmen dwelt there is now nothing left but a great house without fire the Lord commonly at soioure neere London for the Husbandmen and ploughes hee only maintaines a Sheepe-heard and his dog But what do I talking of sheepe when I am to follow the gestes of a King I will leaue them and their woluish lords that haue eaten vp poore Husbandmen like sheepe and proceede where I left His Maiestie being past Godmanchester held on his way towardes Royston and drawing neere the Towne the Shiriffe of Huntingtonshire humbly tooke his leaue and there hee was receiued by that worthy Knight Sir Edward Deny high Shiriffe of Hartfordshire attended vpon by a goodly companie of proper men beeing in number seuen score sutably apparelled their Liueries blew Coates with sleeues parted in the middest buttoned behinde in Ierkin fashion white dublets and hats and feathers and all of them mounted on horses with red saddles Sir Edward after his humble dutie done presented his Maiestie with a gallant horse a riche saddle and surniture correspondent to the same being of great value which his Maiestie accepted very graciously and caused him to ride on the same before him This worthy Knight being of a deliuer spirit and agil body quickly mounted managing the gallant beast with neate and eiduing workmanship being in a rich sute of a yellow dun colour somewhat neere the colour of the horse the furniture And thus in braue manner he conducted his Maiestie to one maister Chesters house where his Highnesse lay that night on his owne kingly charge The 30. day being Satterday his Maiestie tooke his iourney towards Standon to Sir Thomas Sadlers and by the way the Byshop of London met him attended on by a seemely company of Gentlemen in tawny Coates and chaines of gold At Sir Thomas Sadlers his Maiestie was royally entertained for himselfe and his Kingly traine nothing being wanting the best desired nor that the meanest could demaund There his Maiestie stayed Sunday before whom the Byshop of London preached His Maiestie now drawing neere to London the numbers of people more and more increased aswel of Nobilitie Gentrie Citizens Countrey-people and all aswell of degree as of no degree so great a desire had the Noble that they preast with the ignoble to see their Soueraigne This being the difference of their desires that the better sort either in blood or of conceit came to obserue and serue the other to see and wonder The first of May being Munday his Maiestie remoued to Sir Henrie Cocks being nine miles from Sir Thomas Sadlers where prouision for his Maiestie and his Royall traine was so abundant that there was no man of what condition soeuer but had what his appetite desired For his Maiesties priuate and most to bee respected entertainment it was such as ministred his Highnesse great contentment Continuing there but one night and departing the next day honoured the good Knight for his greater expenses The 3. of May being Tuesday his Maiesty tooke his iourney towards Theobals a house belonging to Lord Robert Cecill and about foure miles distant from Sir Henry Cocks where met him the Lord Keeper the Lord Treasurer the Lord Admiral with most of the Nobilitie of the Land and Counsell of Estate who were graciously receiued At which time the Lord Keeper made a most graue learned briefe and pithie Oration to his Maiestie To which his Highnes answered with great grace and princely wisdome At this house there met his Maiestie all or the most part of the old seruants and officers
