A DISCOVRSE OF The Queenes Maiesties entertainement in Suffolk and Norffolk With a description of many things then presently seene Deuised by THOMAS CHVRCHYARDE Gent. with diuers shewes of his own inuention sette out at Norwich and some rehearsal of hir Highnesse retourne from Progresse Wherevnto is adioyned a commendation of Sir Humfrey Gilberts ventrous iourney CERVA CHARISSIMA ET GRATISSIMVS HINNVLVSÂ· PRO 5 AT LONDON Imprinted by Henrie Bynneman seruante to the right Honourable Sir CHRISTOPER HATTON Vizchamberlayne To the righte vvorshipfull Maister Gilbert Gerrard the Queenes Maiesties Attourney Generall Thomas Churchyard Gent. sendeth this signe of good will and wisheth encrease of worthy fame HAVING a desire right Worshipfull to continue in youre fauour and amitie I deuised sundry ways to giue you some cause of recreation amid the multitude of youre graue studies and weightie affayres and knowing that no one thing is more welcome to a worthy witte than the vnderstanding of matter wherein the dutie of good subiectes is expressed and the greatnesse of good minds is made manifest I haue presented you with a little Booke that makes not only report of the noble receiuing of the Queenes Maiestie into Suffolke and Norffolke but also of the good order great cheere and charges that hir highnesse subiectes were at during hir abode in those parties And bycause I sawe most of it or heard it so credibly rehearsed as I know it to be true I meane to make it a mirror and shining glasse that al the whole land may loke into or vse it for an example in all places where the Prince commeth to our posteritie heereafter for euer For in very deede if the dutifull vsage of Suffolke and Norffolke had not surmouÌ„ted in greatnesse goodnesse any fiue Sheeres in England for hospitalitie brauerie and franke dealing I had not made mention of these causes nor writteÌ„ so large a discourse of their behauioures and bountifull manner of dutie but finding these two Sheeres so well furnished of GentlemeÌ„ and so flourishing and ready to attend in time of triumph on hir that is oure triumph and earthly felicitie I can do no lesse but with immortall fame sounde their prayses and vse my penne to their greate glorye and thankes as a guerdon due for their worthy honest dezerts hoping that euery other Sheere where the Queenes highnesse hath not bin will rather striue to follow this lanterne when occasion is offered than any way thinke me affectionate or that I haue partially proceeded in this exercise of pen And nowe righte Worshipfull if you muse why I do enterlard this discourse with some suche wordes or sentences as may seeme to degresse froÌ„ my purposed cause I pray you conceyue both for varietie and the vertue of the matter that my iudgemeÌ„t is carried by circumstances to treate at large those things that shortnesse of speeche will not suffer and that my cunning can not aptly place euery thing in his order but yet as I may vnder your correction I will boldly hold on my matter which I haue penned for those people that dwell farre off the Court that they may see with what maiestie a Prince raigneth and with what obedience and loue good Subiectes do receiue hir not that I thinke but al the Sheeres of EnglaÌ„d are most willing to do their duties to the vttermost of their powers but that in deede the like of this entertaynemeÌ„t hath not bin seene I haue presumed to sette out these things and namely bycause at Norwich I was employed to sette forth some shewes which heere I haue imprinted as well those that hir Highnesse sawe not by meanes of euill weather as those she sawe and heard and gaue gratious thankes for And as I mind to wrighte what truely happeneth in my memorie so meane I to touche a little the manner and inclination of the common people whose ciuill sorte and curtesie is greatly to be commended Withall I haue placed at the end of this discourse a feawe verses in the honoring of good mindes and trauelling bodyes meaning thereby Sir Humfrey Gilbert Maister Henry Knolles and others right worthy and honest Gentlemen presently passed towards a happy voyage as I hope These paynes and purposes of myne proceede onely on the good will I beare to al vertuous actions and so I trust you will take them and giuing my small Booke a little countenance if it so stande with youre pleasure I shall find my selfe greatly bound vnto you therefore and among the rest that speaketh well which are not a few of your vprighte gouernemente of life I will not bee the last shall yeeld you deserued laude as knoweth God who encrease his grace and good giftes in you and make your end as honorable as your dayes haue bin blessed To the Reader IF I shoulde not good Reader as vvell shevve thee some matter of delight as publishe to the vvorld these penned discourses thy vvits vvould vvaxe a vveery of my friuolous vvordes and I should gaine but little frute by my labour and trauell and greater delight can not be presented than heere to shevv thee the good disposition of some people bredde vp and nourished out of the bovvels of thine ovvne nation And albeit it seemeth strange that people nurtured farre from Courte shoulde vse muche courtesie yet vvill I prooue by the humblenesse of the common people vvhere lately the Prince hath passed that if in a manner all ciuilitie vvere vtterly decayed it might haue bin found freshly florishing in many of those parties and places specifyed before for so soone as the presence of the Prince vvas entred in their boundes by a meere motion of homage and fealty a generall consent of duetie and obedieÌ„ce vvas seene thorough the vvhole Countrey and vvell vvere they that might first find occasion by any meanes to vvelcome a Courtier and not vvith feyned ceremonies but vvith frieÌ„dlye entertaynemente And although it be a custome and most laudable manner for the poore commons to runne in flockes to see their Soueraigne yet there as me thought their desire vvas so greate that they hadde neuer ynough of the sight so long vvished and desired and such reuerence and humilitie they vsed tovvardes all the trayne vvheresoeuer they encountred anye of them that the invvarde affections of the people vvas playnely expressed by their outvvard apparance and manifest curtesies in so much that the meanest persons that follovved the Court stood maruellously contented vvith that they savv and vvondered at the rare good maner of the people especially in Norvvich vvhere the entertainemente vvas so greate that all degrees from the highest to the lovvest vvere had in such admiration that it seemed another vvorlde to beholde vvhich nevve kinde of reuerence and comely custome of the Countrey as it may be properly applyed makes the old haughtinesse and stiffe-necked behauiour of some places to blushe and become odious yea in soyles that the Prince generally keepeth hir residence most abode in vvhere proude people vvill passe by
