The prayer done the Abbot of Westminster arrayeth the King 1. With the supertunica or close Pall. 2. Then with the Tynsin hose 3. Then with his Sandalls The Spurs are put on by a Nobleman thereto by the King appointed Then the Archbishop taketh the Sword and layeth it before him on the Altar and saith the Prayer Exaudi Domine c. Quaesumus Domine preces nostras hunc ensem quo hic famulus tuus Jacobus se circumcingi desiderat majestatis tuae dextera benedicere sanctificare dignare quatenus defensio atque protectio ecclesiarum esse viduarum Orphanorum omniumque Deo Servientium contra savitiam paganorum aliisque insidiantibus sit pavor terror formido per Dominum nostrum c. Hear our prayers we beseech thee and vouchsafe by thy right hand of majesty to blesse and sanctifie this Sword wherewith this thy servant James desireth to be girt that it may be a defence and protection of Churches Widows Orphans and all the Servants of God against the savage cruelty of Pagans and Infidels and that it may be a fear and terror to all those that lye in wait to do mischief through Christ our Lord. Then the Archbishop delivereth the Sword into the Kings hands saying Accipe gladium Which Sword is girt about him by a Peer thereto appointed Accipe gladium per manus Episcop●rum licet indignas vice cum auth●ritate sanctorum Apostolorum consecratas tibi regaliter impositum nostraeque benedictionis ●fficio in defensionem sanctae fidei Ecclesiae divinitus ordinatum Et ●sto memor de quo Psalmista prophetavit dicens Accingore gladio tuo super femur tuum potentissime ut per eundem vim aequitatis exerceas molem iniquitatis poten●er destru●s sanctam Dei Ecclesiam ejusque fideles propugnando protegas Non minus sub fide falsos quam Christiam nominis hostes execreris ac destruas viduas pupillos clementer adjuves ac defendas desolata restaures restaurata conserves ulciscaris injusta Confirmes bene disposita quatenus haec in agendo virtutum triumpho gloriosus Justitiaeque cultor egregius cum mundi salvatora cujus typum geris in nomine sine sine merearis regnare Qui cum patre Spiritu Sancto c. Receive this Kingly Sword which is hallowed for the defence of the Faith of Christs holy Church and delivered unto thee by the hands of Bishops though unworthy yet Consecrated in the place of the holy Apostles and remember of whom the Psalmist did prophesie saying Gird thy self with thy Sword upon thy Thigh O thou most mighty and with this Sword exercise thou the force of Equity and mightily destroy the growth of Iniquity protect the holy Church of God and his faithful people and pursue Hereticks no lesse then Infidels defend and help Widdows and Orphans Restore the things that are gone to decay and maintain those things that are restored be revenged of injustice and confirm things that are in good order that doing these things thou maist be glorious in the triumph of Vertue and excellent in the ornament of Justice and reign for ever with the Saviour of the world whose image you bear who with the Father and the Holy ghost Then the Armill is put about his neck in the manner of a Stole and tyed to the boughts of his two Arms. The Archbishop saying Accipe armillas sinceritatis sapientiae divinaeque circumdationibus judicium quibus intelligas omnes operationes tuas contra hostes visibiles invisibiles posse esse munitas per Dominum nostrum c. Recive the Armill as a token of Gods embracing whereby all thy works may be defended against thy enemies both bodily and ghostly through Christ our Lord. Then the Mantle or open Pall is put on by the Abbot of Westminster The Archbishop saying Accipe pallium quatuor initiis forma●um per quod intelligas quatuor mundi partes Divinae potestati esse sub ectas Nec quenquam posse feliciter regnare in terris nisi cui potestas regnandi fuerit collocata de Coelis Receive this Pall which is formed with four Corners to let thee understand that the four quarters of the world are subject to the power of God and that no man can happily reign upon Earth who hath not received his authority from Heaven Then the Archbishop taketh the Crown into his hands and saith this prayer Deus perpetuatis Dux virtutum cunctarum hostium victor benedic hunc famulum tuum Jacobum tibi caput suum inclinantem prolixa sanitate prospera felicitate eum conserva ubicunque auxilium tuum invocaverit cito adsis protegas ac defenda Tribue ei quaesumus domine divitias gratiae tuae comple in bonis

eternally Amen This pronounced a shallow Quoife is put upon the Kings head because of the Anointing Then the King goeth to the Altar and the Robe is put upon him at which the Archbishop says this Prayer O God the King of Kings and Lord of Lords by whom Kings do reign and Law-givers make good Laws vouchsafe in thy favour to bless this thy Servant Charles in all his Government that living godly and leading his People by the way of righteousness after a glorious course in this life he may attain that joy which hath no end through our Lord. Amen Then the Sword is brought to the Archbishop who laying it on the Altar prayes in this manner Hear our prayers we beseech thee O Lords and vouchsafe by thy right hand of Majesty to bless and sanctifie this Sword wherewith thy Servant Charles desires to be girt by the same he may defend Churches Widdows Orphans and all the People of God against the savage cruelty of Pagans and Infidels and that it may be a terrour and fear to all those that lie in wait to do mischief through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen Then the Archbishop takes up the Sword and puts it in the Kings hand saying Receive this Kingly Sword for the defence of the faith of Christ and protection of his Holy Church and remember him of whom the psalmist did prophecy saying Gird thy self with thy Sword upon thy Thigh O thou most mighty and with thy sword execute thou Equity and justice Persue all Hereticks and Infidels defend Widdows and Orphans restore the things that are gone to decay maintain and confirm the things that are restored and in good order destroy the growth of iniquity and take punishment of all injustice that you may be glorious in the triumph of vertue and reign with him whose Image you bear for ever and ever Amen The Sword is girt to the Kings side by one of the Peers thereto oppointed Then the King returns to the Chair wherein he was anointed and hath the Spurs put on by the Lord Marshal After which the Archbishop taking the Crown in his hand sayes this prayer O God the Crown of all the faithful who dost Crown their Heads with pretious Stone that trust in thee bless and sanctifie this Crown that as the same is adorned with many precious Stones so this thy Servant that weares the same may be replenished of thy Grace with the manifold gifts of all precious Virtues through Christ our Lord. Amen Then the Archbishop crowneth the King saying God Crown ●hee with a Crown of glory and righteousness with the Honour and vertue of fortitude that by a right faith and manifold fruits of good works you may obtein the Crown of an everlasting kingdome by the gift of him whose kingdome endureth for ever Amen Then the King goes to the Stage and sits in the Chair of State which is placed by the Throne Then the Lyon by direction of the Marshal calls the Nobles who set their hands to the Crown and say every man these words So God not help me as I shall support thee And when they have done they all hold up their hands and swear to be loyal and true Subjects The Marshal having in his hand the obligatory Oath of the People goeth to the four Corners of the Stage and reads the same to the Lyon who cries it down to the people and they all hold up their hands and say Amen The Oath of the People is this We swear and by the holding up of our hands do promise all subjection and loyalty to King Charles our dread Soveraign and as we wish God to be merciful unto us shall be to his Majesty true and faithful and be ever ready to bestow our Lives Lands and what else God hath given us for the defence of his sacred Person and Crown When the King is Crowned the Earles and Viscounts put on their Crownes and the Lyon his The other Barons and Lords continue bare and uncovered Then is this Anthem sung Be strong and of good courage and observe the Commandements of the Lord to walk in his wayes and keep his Ceremonies Precepts Testimonies and Judgements And almighty God strengthen and prosper thee wheresoever thou goest The Lord is my ruler therefore I shall want nothing The King shall rejoyce in thy strength oh Lord exceeding glad shall he be o● thy Salvation For thou hast granted him his hearts desire and hast not denyed him the request of his lips for thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness and hast set a Crown of pure Gold upon his Head After this the King goes down again looses his Sword wherewith he was gi●t and offers it laying the same upon the Altar which one of the Chief Nobles redeems with an Offering and then draws it forth and carries the same naked before the King Then the Archbishop takes the Scepter and delivers it in the Kings right hand with these words Receive the Scepter the sign of royal power the Rod of the kingdome the Rod of vertue th●t thou mayest govern thy self aright defend the holy Church and all the Christian people committed by God to thy charge punishing the wicked and protecting the just And then he saith this Prayer O Lord the fountain of all good things and the Author of all good proceedings grant we beseech thee to this thy Servant that he may rightly use the Dignity which he hath by Inheritance vouchsafe to confirm the Honour which thou hast given him before all Kings and enrich him with all Benedictions Establish his Throne visit him with increase o● Children ●et Justice spring up in his dayes and his Soul be silled with joy 〈◊〉 gladness till he be translated to rhine everlasting 〈◊〉 Amen After this the Archbishop blesseth the King saying The Lord bless thee and keep thee and as he hath made thee King over his people so he still may prosper thee in this world and in the World to come make Thee partake● of his eternal felicity Amen The King then kisseth the Archbishop and Bishops assistant After that the King ascendeth the Stage attended by the Nobles and the Singers sing Te Deum laudamus c. Which ended the Archbishop enthrones the King saying Stand and hold fast from henceforth the place whereof you are the righteous and lawful Heir by a long and lineal succession of your Forefathers which is now delivered unto you by the authority of Almighty God and by the hands of us the Bishops and Servants of God And as you see the Clergy come more near to the Altar then others so where it is convenient you will remember to give them that honour and respect which is due to their places that the Mediator of God and man may establish you in this kingly Throne and that with him you may reign and live for ever Then goeth the Chancellour to the four Coruers of the Stage and proclaims his Majesties pardon with offer of
