Proteus his Speech.
PRoteus of all the Marine gods the prime,
And held the nobleſt both for Birth and Time:
From him who with his Trident ſwayes the Maine,
And ploughs the waves in curles, or makes them plaine:
I come to greete your great Inauguration.
They call me Verſi-pellis, and ’tis true,
No figure, forme, no ſhape to me is new;
For I appeare what Creature I deſire,
Sometimes a Bull, a Serpent, ſometimes Fire:
"The firſt denotes my ſtrength; ſtrong muſt he be,
"And powerfull, who aſpire to your Degree.
"You muſt be wiſe as Serpents, to decide
"Such doubts as Errour or Miſpriſion hide.
"And next, like Fire, (of th’Elements moſt pure)
"Whoſe nature can no ſordid ſtuffe endure,
"As in Calcining Metalls we behold,
"It ſunders and divides the droſſe from Gold,
And ſuch are the Decorements that ſtill waite
Upon ſo grave, ſo great a Magiſtrate.
This Tortois, double-natur’d, doth imply
(By the two Elements of moiſt and dry)
So much as gives the world to underſtand,
Your noble Trading both by Sea and Land.

In which brave voyage, ſixty Princes, all

Beauty and Strength; and ſiding iuſt with that

Being ſaid t’have feathers on their heads and feete:

Is that, for which all Shipping firſt was made;
And through an Helleſpont who would but pull,

For wee by that are cloath’d: In the firſt place
Sate ſtrength and beauty: oh what a ſweete grace
Have thoſe united; both now yours, great Lord,
Your beauty is your robe, your ſtrength the ſword.
You muſt have Lynceus eyes, and further ſee
Than either you before have done, or he
Could ever: having now a ture inſpection
Into each ſtrife, each cauſe without affection
To this or that party: ſome are ſed,
To have had feathers on their feete and head.
(As thoſe whom I late nam’d) you muſt have more,
And in your place be feather’d now all o’re:
You muſt have feathers in your thoughts, your eyes,
Your hands, your feete; for he that’s truely wiſe
Muſt ſtill be of a winged apprehenſion
As well for execution, as prevention.
You know (Right honoured Sir) delayes and pauſes,
In judicature, dull, if not dampe, good cauſes:
That we preſume t’adviſe, we pardon crave,
It being confeſt, all theſe, and more you have.

Speech.
Piety the Speaker.
THis Structure is a Citadell, or Tower,
Where Piety, plac’t in her heavenly bower,
Poynts out the way to bliſſe, guirt with a ring
Of all thoſe Graces that may glory bring.
Here ſits Religion firme, (though elſe where torne
By Schiſmaticks, and made the Atheiſts ſcorne)
Shining in her pure truth, nor need ſhe quake,
Affrighted with the Faggot and the ſtake:
Shee’s to you deare, you unto her are tender,
Vnder the Scepter of the Faiths defender.
How am I extaſi’de when I behold
You build new Temples, and ropaire the old!
There’s not a ſtone that’s laid in ſuch foundation,
But is a ſtep degreeing to Salvation:
And not a Scaffold rear’d to that intent,
But mounts a Soule above the Firmament:
Of Merchants, we know Magiſtrates are made,
And they (of thoſe) moſt happy that ſo Trade.
Your Virgin-Saint ſits next Religion crown’d,
With her owne Hand-maids (ſee) inviron’d round,
And theſe are they the learned Schoole-men call,
The three prime Vertues Theologicall,
Of devout acts, doth a fixt place aſpire.
The ſeventh Humility, and we commend
The Eight to Conſtancy, which crownes the end.

A Triple Crowne’s th’Emblazon of your Creſt,
But to gaine one, is to be ever bleſt.
Proceede in that faire courſe you have begun,
So when your Annuall Glaſſe of State is run,
(Nay, that of Life) Ours, but the Gate to bliſſe
Shall let you in to yon Metropolis.
The Speech at Night.
NOw bright Hiperion hath unloos’d his Teame,
And waſht his Coach-Steeds in cold Iſters ſtreame:
Day doth to Night give place, yet e’re You ſleepe,
Remember what the Prophet of the Deepe,
Proteus fore-told: All ſuch as State aſpire,
Muſt be as Bulls, as Serpents, and like Fire.
The Shepheard grazing of his Flocks, diſplayes
The uſe and profit from the Fleece we raiſe.
That Indian Beaſt, (had he a tongue to ſpeake)
Would ſay, Suppreſſe the proud, ſupport the weake,
That Ship the Merchants honour loudly tells,
And how all other Trades it antecells:
But Piety doth point You to that Starre,
By which good Merchants ſteere: too bold we are
To keepe you from your reſt; To-morrows Sunne
Will raiſe You to new cares, not yet begun.

London Bridge
As the only bridge in London crossing the Thames until 1729, London Bridge was a focal point of the city. After its conversion from wood to stone, completed in 1209, the bridge housed a variety of structures, including a chapel and a growing number of shops. The bridge was famous for the cityʼs grisly practice of displaying traitorsʼ heads on poles above its gatehouses. Despite burning down multiple times, London Bridge was one of the few structures not entirely destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666.London Bridge is mentioned in the following documents:

St. Paul’s Cathedral
St. Paul’s Cathedral was—and remains—an important church in London. In 962, while London was occupied by the Danes, St. Paul’s monastery was burnt and raised anew. The church survived the Norman conquest of 1066, but in 1087 it was burnt again. An ambitious Bishop named Maurice took the opportunity to build a new St. Paul’s, even petitioning the king to offer a piece of land belonging to one of his castles (Times 115). The building Maurice initiated would become the cathedral of St. Paul’s which survived until the Great Fire of London.St. Paul’s Cathedral is mentioned in the following documents:

The Thames
Perhaps more than any other geophysical feature, the Thames river has directly affected London’s growth and rise to prominence; historically, the city’s economic, political, and military importance was dependent on its riverine location. As a tidal river, connected to the North Sea, the Thames allowed for transportation to and from the outside world; and, as the longest river in England, bordering on nine counties, it linked London to the country’s interior. Indeed, without the Thames, London would not exist as one of Europe’s most influential cities. The Thames, however, is notable for its dichotomous nature: it is both a natural phenomenon and a cultural construct; it lives in geological time but has been the measure of human history; and the city was built around the river, but the river has been reshaped by the city and its inhabitants.The Thames is mentioned in the following documents:
