These digital editions are diplomatic transcriptions. Our goal has been to provide clean, readable TEI transcriptions of all the extant mayoral shows from 1585 to 1639. Because this corpus has never before been made available in one place, we provide XML base texts that other scholars can repurpose according to our Creative Commons Licence.
We treat title pages, dedications, and prefaces as front matter, encoded with the Finis

Our practice has been to preserve most of the typographical, orthographical, and compositorial features of the original text. We use CSS styling to describe the peculiarities of font and justification. We also include links to the page images on EEBO; users who subscribe to EEBO may thus view the pages at any point and judge our transcription thereof for themselves.
Our encoders follow these rules for preserving or regularizing the text:
We have interpreted and encoded toponyms, names, and dates. The encoding of toponyms requires some research to point the toponym to the right location file (and thence to the map), but the relative stability of the processional route has meant that we have high confidence in our encoding of toponyms in the mayoral shows. When our encoding has veered into interpretation, such as in our decision to encode abstract nouns as allegorical characters even when it is not completely clear that the abstraction is embodied by an actor, we have encoded with the goal of building analytical capacity into our texts, such as the capacity for users to search for characters like Time across the corpus of mayoral shows. For our treatment of early modern dates, see our encoding instructions at Encode a Date. Other than toponyms, names, and dates, we have undertaken no interpretative encoding.
Our editorial and encoding practices are documented in detail in the Praxis section of our website.
Right Honourable,
IT is one of
Apothegms, that there is no Citie
can bee ſo ſtrongly immur’d or De
fenc’d but may bee either by Engins
defaced, by Enemies inuaded, or by
Treaſon ſurprized; but the Counſells and Decrees
of a wife Magiſtrate, are in-expugnable. Time, and
your Merit, have call’d you to this Office and Honor:
As all eyes are upon you, ſo all hearts are towards
you; never was any more freely voyc’t in his Election,
and therfore none more hopefull in expectation: your
Abilitie, what you can doe, is knowne; your purpoſe,
what you intend, you have amply delivered; onely
the Performance remaines: In which, there is no que
ſtion, but that you will accommodate all your future
Proceedings to theſe three heads: Pro Rege, pro
Lege, pro Grege; for as you are a Magiſtrate, ſo
you are a Iudge: A calling, both of Truſt, and Trou
ble: Of Truſt; becauſe all ſuch as ſit in Iudica
ture, are Perſons ordained by GOD, to examine
I Shall not neede to borrow my In
duction from the Antiquitie of this
Famous Metropolis, nor to enter in
to a large diſcourſe, of the noble
Magiſtracy and government there

diſputed: and yet I hold it not al
together Impertinent to remember
ſome few things of remarke, which have happened in the
Prætorſhips of the Right Honourable, the Lord Maiors
of this Renowned Citie, who have beene Free of the
Worſhipfull Company of the Iron-mongers
In the yeere
Fraternitie, bearing the Sword, there was a Show preſen

THe next Modell by Land, which was onely
ſhowne upon the Water; is one of the twelue
Cæleſtiall fignes:
before hee was tranſlated into the Heavens, wa
ſaid to bee the Sonne of
and in his Infancy, was Conclacteus Muſarum. i. Hee ſuck
of the ſame breſt with the Muſes, his mother being thei
Nurſe, and dwelt in Helicon; hee was Famous for hi
skill in Archerie, wonderous ſwift of foote, and when th
Nine Siſters ſung to their ſeverall inſtruments of Muſick,
his cuſtome was to dance before them in ſundry active fi
gures and poſtures. For which, and other indowments,
knowne to be eminent in, hee was at their requeſt to
piter
which hee is borne: at the foure corners, are ſeated foure
other dignified with the like Conſtellations: Virgo, beſt
of
call’d Perſa, and Stellified by Aſtrologian.
THe Third Plat-forme, is contrived onely for
Paſtime, to pleaſe the vulgar, and therefore de

nation, as deviſed onely to pleaſe the eye,but no
way to feaſt the eare: and ſo I leave it to proceede to the
next.
THe Fourth Moddell, is a Caſtle munified with ſundr
Peeces of Ordnance; and Accomodated with all ſuc
Perſons as are needfull for the defence of ſuch a Citadell
the Gunner being ready to give fire upon all occaſions
as for the curious Art in the contriving thereof, I make no
queſtion but the worke it ſelfe is ſufficiently able to com

Artiſt, of which, the ſpectatours may beſt cenſure; I will
onely deliver unto you a word or two concering the pre
ſenter, which is
Hee is ſtyled the third amongſt the gods, becauſe hee
ſtands in that degree amongſt the Planets: and is ſaid
to be the ſonne of
Nurſſe, others that ſhe was his Mother, and ſome his ſiſter.
Yet none of theſe improper, for
implies no more then an incouragement of the minde to
hardineſſe and valour in all Skyrmiſhes and Battailes. He
is alſo cal’d
ment, and Mavors quaſi Mares vorans, of devouring of
men; and by the Gentiles, had the Denomination of the
god of Battailes. He was antiently figured an angry man
ſitting in a Chariot, armed with a ſheild and other wea
pons, both offenſiue, and defenſiue: Vpon his head a plu
med Helmet, his ſword mounted vpon his thigh, hee held
in one hand a whip, in the other, the Raines, being drawne
in his Chariot by wylde and vntam’d Horſes. Before
him was portraied a Wolfe dèvouring a Lambe, the
Wolfe being the beaſt particularly offered vpon his
ſhrine, and becauſe the two Romane Twinnes the firſt
founders of Rome, Remvs

the ſtead of man, offered a gelded Hogge, which they
call’d Nefrendes: Romans,

all, receiving Forty five wounds, whoſe skarres were vi

Crownes, and received moreover, an Hundred and Forty
golden Bracelets; and was firſt amongſt the Romanes,
that ever made oblation to this Deity:

THe ſpeech being ended, the Ordnance goeth off
from the Caſtle; and now I come to the fift and laſt.
