ELIZABETH.
Speed's account of the procession of Queen Elizabeth contains some particulars too remarkable to be omitted.' "All things in readinesse, upon the 14th of January, with great triumphes and sumptuous shewes, shee passed thorow London, towards West minster, to receive her imperiall crowne ; but before shee entered her chariot in the Tower, acknowledging that the seat was God's into which shee was to enter, and shee his vicegerent to wield the English sceptre ; in that royal assembly, with eyes and hands elevated to heaven, upon her knees, she prayed for his assistance, as Solomon did for wisedomo when he tooke the like charge ; with, a thankful remembrance unto God for his continued preservation, who had brought her thorow great dangers unto that present dignitie."
She was crowned the 25th of January, 1555, by OglethorpH, Bishop of Carlisle, the see of Canterbury being vacant by the deathof Cardinal Polo.
