Honorable Prætor:
THe Triumphes which theſe few leaues of paper, pre

your Lordſhip onely to doe you honor.
With much care, coſt and curioſity are they brought

of Spirit, haue your worthy Fraternity, and much to be
honored Brother-hood of Ironmongers, beſtowed them
vpon you.
It much winnes vpon them, to haue ſuch a Cheife; and
you cannot but be glad to haue ſuch a Society: By a free
Election are you Londons Prætor; The Suffrages of
Commoners call you to your ſeate. A ſucceſſion to the

Bleſsings, thoſe bleſſings giuen you ability, and that ability
makes you fit for a Maieſtrate.

You haue the voyce of Senators breathing out your wel

WEre it poſſible for a Man, in the
Compaſſe of a Day, to behold (as

and Ladies, and Thronges of People as London is in
riched with, on the firſt Day, that Her Great Lord (or
Lord Maior, for tis all one) Takes, That Office vpon
him.
In former Ages, He was not Encompaſt with ſuch
Glories, No ſuch Firmaments of Starres were to be
ſeene in Cheape-ſide; Thames dranke no ſuch Coſtly
Healthes to London, as hee does Now. But as Troyno

her with Fauours.
In Thoſe Home-ſpun Times, They had no Collars

uerall Princes on this Citty: For, in the time of Ed
ward Confeſſor, the chiefe Ruler of the Citty was called
Reeue, Greeue, or Portreeue: The next to him in autho
rity, Prouoſt.
Then in the firſt of Richard 1. two Bayliffes carried
the ſway: This continued till the ninth of King Iohn,
who by Letters Patents gaue the Citizens power,
yearely to chooſe themſelues a Lord Maior, and two
Sheriffes.
Then, King Henry 3. made the firſt Aldermen in
London (yet the Name of Ealdorman was knowne in
the Saxons time, for Alwin in the reigne of Edgar, was
Alderman of All England, that is to ſay, Chiefe Iustice:)
and thoſe Aldermen of London, had Rule then (as
Now) ouer the Wardes of the Citty, but were euerie
yeare changed, as the ShThis text is the corrected text. The original is re (JT)eriffes are in theſe dayes.
Then Edward 1. ordained that the Lord Maior,
ſhould in the Kings abſence, ſit in all Places within
London, as Chiefe Iustice; And that euery Alderman
that had bin Lord Mayor, ſhould be a Iuſtice of Peace
for London and Middleſex all his life after.
Then, in the reigne of Henry 7. Sr. John Shaw Gold
ſmith, being Lord Maior, cauſed the Aldermen to ride
from the Guild-hall to the water ſide, when he went to
take his Oath at Weſtminster, (where before they Rode

the Guild-hall, there to dine, all the Kitchens, and o

time, the Feaſt has there bin kept: for before, it was ei
ther at Grocers Hall, or the Merchantaylors.
Thus, ſmall Rootes grow in time to Cedars, ſhallow
ſtreames, to riuers, and a Hand of Gouernment to be
the ſtrongeſt Arme in a Kingdome. Thus you ſee
London in her meane attyre, then in Robes Maieſtical;
and ſitting in that Pompe, caſt your Eye, vpon thoſe
alluring Obiects, which ſhe her ſelfe Beholds with
Admiration.
The firſt.
The firſt Scæne is a Water-worke, preſented by
Oceanus, King of the Sea (from whoſe Name the Vni
uerſall Maine Sea is called the Ocean) He, to celebrate
the Ceremonies and Honors, due to this great Feſti

Triumphantly in the Vaſt (but Queint) ſhell of a ſil
uer Scollup, Reyning in the heads of two wild Sea-
horſes, proportioned to the life, their maynes falling
about their neckes, ſhining with curles of gold.
On his head, which (as his Beard) is knotted, long,
careleſly ſpred, and white, is placd, a Diadem, whoſe
Bottome, is a conceited Coronet of gold; The middle
ouer that, is a Coronet of ſiluer Scollops, and on the

The ſecond Preſentation.
The Inuention is a Proud ſwelling Sea, on whoſe
Waues is borne vp a ſea Lyon, as a proper and emi

In reguard it is one of the ſupporters of the Eaſt In
dian Company, of which his Lordſhip is free, and
a great aduenturer. And theſe Marine creatures, are
the more fitly imployed, In regard alſo, that his Lord
ſhip is Maior of the Staple, Gouernour of the French
Company, and free of the Eaſt-land Company.

glorious progreſſe without his Queene, or ſhe with

ther to heighten theſe ſolemnities.
Her haire is long, and Diſheuelled, on her head,
an antique ſea-tyre, encompaſt with a Coronall of
gold and pearle, her garments rich, and proper to her
quality, with a Taffaty mantle fringed with ſiluer
croſſing her body. Her right hand, ſupporting a large
ſtreamer, in which are the Lord Maiors armes.
On each ſide of this Lyon, attend a Mermaid, and

the two New Shrieues, ſeuerall fiſhes ſwimming as it

The third.
The third ſhow is an Eſtridge, cut out of timber to
the life, biting a horſe-ſhoe. On this Bird rides an In
dian boy, holding in one hand a long Tobacco pipe, in
the other a dart. His attire is proper to the Country.
At the foure angels of the ſquare where the Eſtridg
ſtands, are plac’d a Turke, and a Perſian. A pikeman &
a Muſketeere.

The fourth preſentation is called the Lemnian Forge-
In it are Vulcan, the Smith of Lemnos, with his ſeruants

The fift Preſentation is called Londons Tempe, or
The Field of Happineſſe; thereby reflecting vpon the
name of Campe-bell, or Le Beu Champe, A faire and glo
rious field. It is an arbor, ſupported by 4 Great Termes:
On the 4 Angles, or corners ouer the Termes, are pla
ced 4 Pendants with armes in them.
It is round about furniſhed with trees and flowers:
the vpper part with ſeuerall fruites: Intimating that
as London is the beſt-ſtored Garden in the Kingdome
for Plants, Herbes, Flowers, Rootes, and ſuch like;
So, on this day it is the moſt glorious Citty in the
Chriſtian world.
And therefore Tytan (one of the names of the Sun)
in all his ſplendor, with Flora, Ceres, Pomona, Ver and
Eſtas, are ſeated in this Tempe; on the top of all ſtands
a Lyons head, being the Lord Maiors Creſt.
