The Clerk of the Cheque to the Yeomen of the Guard.

N. B. All the Peers, in the Procession, were in their Robes of Estate; and the Knights of the Garter, Thistle, or Bath, wore the Collars of their respective Orders.

The Manner of disposing, seating, and placing the several Persons who came in the grand Procession, after their Entrance into the Church, was as follows:

The drums staying at the west door of the church, the trumpets and kettle-drums first entered, and coming to the

west door of the choir, turned up the stairs on the left hand, into the gallery, over the door.

After them, the six clerks entered the choir; and, being conducted by two officers of arms, ascended the steps of the theatre; and dividing themselves to the right and left, went to their seats in the galleries on either side of the choir, level with the theatre, to the west end of the benches, and stood before their seats (as all others did,) until their majesties were seated.

Next, the king's chaplains, having dignities; the aldermen of London; the masters in Chancery; the king's serjeants at law; the king's solicitor and attorney, the king's antient serjeant; the esquires of the body, the gentlemen of the privy chamber; the barons of the Exchequer, and justices of both benches, together with the lord chief baron and the two chief justices, having ascended the theatre, were directed in like manner to divide to the right and left, and take their places also on each side the choir, the foremost going still towards the west part of the benches.

Then the choir of Westminster, with the prebendaries and dean, having entered the church, fell off from the procession a little on the left hand of the middle aile, and staid till their majesties entered the church, whilst the serjeant-porter and serjeant of the vestry passed over the theatre to their station on the north side of the altar: the children and gentlemen of his majesty's chapel repaired in the mean time to the galleries appointed for them on each side of the sacrarium, or area, before the altar, viz. the vocal music to the gallery be tween the two uppermost pillars on the south side of the altar, and the instrumental music to the gallery on the north side of the said area, in the arch next to the pulpit.

The master of the jewel house and the privy counsellors, not peers, passed over the theatre to the north side of the said area, the master of the jewel house toward the north side of the altar, and the others to that end of the seats provided for the bishops, next to the pulpit.

Then the baronesses, ascending the steps of the theatre, turned to the left hand, and were conducted by an officer of

arms

arms to the furthest of those six seats prepared for the peeresses, on the north side of the theatre.

In like manner the barons were conducted to the furthest of the six seats, on the south side of the theatre; and the bishops to their seats on the north side of the area or sacrary.

Then the viscountesses were conducted (by one of the officers of arms who preceded them) to their seats next to the baronesses; and the viscounts (by the other officers of arms,) to the opposite side, next to the barons.

And so the countesses, earls, marchionesses, duchesses, and dukes, were conducted to their seats in like manner, viz. the peeresses to the seats on the north side of the theatre, and the peers to those on the south side.

By this time the king and queen having entered the church, were received by the dean and prebendaries, who, with the choir of Westminster, proceeding a little before their majesties, sang an anthem.

The anthem being ended, the children and choir of Westminster turned to the left hand, to the back side of the choir, and went up into their gallery.

Then the prebendaries, entering the choir, ascended the theatre, and passed over it to their station, on the south side of the altar, beyond the king's chair.

After which the dean of Westminster, the great officers, and two archbishops, with the dukes of Aquitaine and Normandy, ascended the theatre, and stood near the great south-east pillar thereof.

Then the queen, preceded by her vice-chamberlain, two gentlemen-ushers, and her lord chamberlain, and by the Lords who bore her majesty's regalia; and, being attended as before, ascended the theatre, leaving the gentlemen pensioners (who guarded her majesty) below in the choir, and the serjeant at arms at the rail on the west side of the theatre, and passed on the north side of her throne, to the chair of state and faldstool provided for her on the east side of the theatre, below her throne, and stood by the said chair till his majesty came.

When the queen entered the choir, the king's scholars of Westminster
