Then the Arch-Bishop delivereth the Sword into the Kings Hands which Sword is girt about him by a Peer thereto appointed saying 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 less than 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 Armil is put about his Neck in the manner of a Stole and tyed to the boughs of his two Arms The Arch-Bishop saying REceive the Armil 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 Dean of Westminster The Arch-Bishop saying 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 Arch-Bishop taketh the Crown into his hands and saith this Prayer O GOD of Eternity the commander of all Powers the vanquisher of all Enemies Bless this thy Servant who boweth his Head unto thy Majesty preserve him in long Health and prosperous Felicity be present with him protect and defend him whensoever he calleth upon thee Give him we beseech thee the Riches of thy Grace fill his Soul with Goodness and Crown him with thy Mercy and let him always in godly Devotion wait upon thee through thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ The Arch-Bishop Crowneth the King saying GOD Crown thee with a Crown of Glory and Righteousness with the Honour and Work of Fortitude that thou by our Ministry having a right Faith and manifold Fruit of good Works maist obtain the Crown of an Everlasting Kingdom by the gift of him whose Kingdom endureth for ever In the mean time the Quire singeth the Anthem BE strong and of a good courage and observe the Commandments of the Lord to walk in his ways and keep his Ceremonies Precepts Testimonies and Jugments and Almighty God prosper and strengthen thee whithersoever thou goest The Lord is my Ruler therefore I shall want nothing THE King shall rejoyce in thy strength O Lord exceeding glad shall he be of 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 Then he putteth the Ring on his Wedding-finger saying REceive the Ring of Kingly Dignity and by it the Seal of Christian Faith that as this day thou art adorned the Head and Prince of this Kingdom
