expresse his gratefull heart for their willingnesse to suffragate so unanimously for the Kings election Nothing was then wanting which could be expected at a dayes preparation but the Coronation of the new King December 19.29 was with much more solemnity then his Election and the Coronation of the Queene though celebrated more privately was nothing inferiour to the Kings in glory The time betwixt his Majesties Election and Coronation was spent in ordering of things required for such a day and administration of Civill Justice The dignitie of State required the first the safety which by impunity of offenders must needs be endangered prescribed the other The Royall Vestiments which from the time of Charle-Magne were customarily used at such Solemnities were then at Noremberg and thither a Currier was dispached to the Magistrate and Governour for them who upon sight of the Letters attended with them personally to Regenspurgh Thus this order was observed faithfully but the designe for execution of Justice fell not out so happily V●schius a Doctor of Lawes The Syndick of Cologne murdered at Regenspurgh and Advocate for the Elector of Cologne was murdered in his owne lodging by some malitio●s assassinates who either sought his life or treasure of which though they were seized yet fearing it seemes to be discovered Quinam hominum est quem tu contentum videris uno Flagitio One sin never comes unattended they deprived him also of the other and remaining still unknowne the Magistrate propounded great rewards to them or him that could reveale them whether parties in the crime or not and to the first a pardon for their trespasse besides the pecuniary guerdon upon condition onely to descrie their or his complices but all was frivolous the nigh-birds kept still close together and all they which once had so farre exceeded the bounds of honesty were resolved to continue in their course and not reveale the villany Yet though the course of Justice was thus impedited the Pompe of State went on The prefixed day for setting the Crowne upon the Kings head was observed and then the King The King of Romans crowned to shew his Magnificence scattered some Medalls of Gold and Silver amongst the people whereon his Armes Name the day and yeere of his Coronation were engraven An Oxe roasted whole larded with Partridges and stuffed with a Calfe and two Muttons was exposed to the spoyle of the common people The great Conduit ranne White and Claret Wine The Marshall of the Empire having brought a great heape of Oates into the open street carryed away a small Measure and left the rest not to be shared amongst the people by measure but caught up and carryed away by as many as would and could catch it tore the Cloth in pieces with which the Bridge was covered that day for the passage of Caesar and the Grand States of the Empire and distributed it amongst the common people And thus the Magnificent Ceremonies for that day were accomplished The Queene as yet remained uncrowned for hough the King and shee made but one Body and it might be supposed that in him shee had seisure of that Character of Royall Dignitie yet her temples were to bee impaled also with a materiall Crowne according to the custome of the Empire and Decemb. 29.
