wished he might bleed others againe misliked the same both learned The Physitians although jarring at first in their Propositions and reasons at last did every thing by a common consent under all their hands Nothing was wanting which either Art or experience could thinke thereof whatsoever they did they alwaies thought most safest and best They toiled continually day and night and if it pleased not God to give a blessing to the meanes must they therefore be blamed You know Paul may plant and Apollos may water but it is God that giveth the increase But imagine there had beene any such strife amongst them the Physitians as it is reported what should we thinke thereof but that the God of Order will sometime have his will brought to passe by a kind of confusion as he overthrew the Tower of Babel with the hosts of Midian c. So in Phisicke when his will must be done if it please him to breake and take away the staffe of bread not blessing the meanes who I say can let him whose will must be our law to doe whatsoever he will Indeed his Highnesse great and extraordinary patience striving so long to overmaster and hide the same in his health in my judgement did much wrong the Physitians who by reason of his patience never dreamed of his danger as also his most wonderfull and matchlesse patience all the time of his Sicknesse shewing no kind of froward disposition lying in shew for any complaints were heard of him as though hee had never been sicke nor sore As also the Vrines which untill a little before his Death shewed no such danger with the dangerous unknowne state of his greatest griefe closely rooted in his head as in the opening hath beene seene which could not at first be fully knowne untill too late the picture of Death by a strange extraordinary countenance having from the beginning possessed him vaine rumors also have beene spread abroad that he was poysoned But if the former Discourse be well considered his Death in my judgement will appeare to have beene naturall grounded upon very urgent causes For the Physitians in opening found no such cause in his internals upon his skinne being no kinde of spot or any such suspition To surmise as some have done that hee was poisoned by a Sent considering the premises mee thinkes were great folly contrary to the opinions of all the learned who upon this relation to his Majesty proved him free from any such infection For my part my skill reacheth not to determine of any thing onely I thinke it best to hold that hee died in the rage of a malicious and extraordinary burning Feaver wherein his vitals and senses were from the beginning so over-pressed stupified and amazed chiefely the heart and head which notwithstanding all cordials and other helpes used God not blessing the meanes could never bee releeved The Monday after the Right honourable the Lords of the Privy Counsell of his Majesty with exceeding care came to Saint Iameses to give order for all things belonging to so wofull a businesse according to which the whole House Chappell great Chamber Presence Lobby Privy Chamber and Bed Chamber were all hung in black with all things fitting thick set with Scutcheons of his Highnesse divers Armes which being done under the State in the Chamber where hee first sickened appointed for the Coffin there was a place erected above an Ell in heigth where it was to stand to bee watched untill the Funerall Threescore and tenne Gentlemen of his Servants ordinary and extraordinary which were all hee had being appointed night and day to attend the same tenne at a time it being so ordered that the tenne who watched in the night did constantly wait the third day after Meane while was order given that the Funerall should bee solemnized on Monday the 7. of December following untill which time I will not renew griefes in remembring the unspeakeable sorrow which was in that wofull House now longing to doe their last duty The time of the Funerall now approaching on Thursday the third day of December the Coffin was removed from the Chamber where it stood all this while unto the Privy Chamber there being watched for that night On the morrow it was removed from thence to the presence Chamber where it remained all that night untill the next day being Saturday at three a clock in the afternoone at which time his crowne and cap of state were set upon a cushion at the head of the Coffin after which the Heralds marching before the same the Coffin was removed by the Gentlemen of his Privy Chamber unto the great Chamber where his Guard attended in which it was set downe for the space of a quarter of an houre thereafter being lifted againe by the foresaid Gentlemen it was brought downe staires towards the Chappell where againe for a pretty while it was set downe in the Court where being lifted againe the Gentlemen of his Majesties Chappell singing mournefull ditties before them it was brought into the Chappell and there placed under a Canopy set with great Armes of the union at full chained with divers other Scutcheons and severall Armes there to remaine untill the Funerall day This Sunday at night before the Funerall his representation was brought made in so short warning as like him as could be and apparelled with cloathes having his creation robes above the same his cap and crowne upon his head his Garter Coller with a George about his neck his golden staffe in his Right hand lying crosse a little briefely every thing as hee was apparelled at the time of his creation which being done it was laid on the back on the Coffin and fast bound to the same the head thereof being supported by two cushions just as it was to bee drawne along the streets in the Funerall chariot drawne by eight black horses decked with his severall Scutcheons and Plumes But now the time being come and all things to adorne the Triumphes of his mournefull Hadadrimons black day the Funerall being foure houres in marshalling and marching set forth about tenne a clock in the morning there being as was thought the number of 2000. Mourners in black the Relation whereof were now to no purpose since the order rankes and names are already printed in a booke to be seene As it passed along the whole World sensible and insensible things and creatures seemed to mourne and have compassion heaven and earth and all There was to bee seene an innumerable multitude of all sorts of ages and degrees of men women and children whose wonderfull sorrow who is able to expresse some holding in their heads not being able to endure so sorrowfull a sight all mourning which they expressed by severall sorts of lamentation and sorrow some weeping crying howling wringing of their hands others halfe dead sounding sighing inwardly others holding up their hands passionately bewayling so great a losse with Rivers nay with an Ocean of teares Well on they came at last
