God which art the glory of the Ri…hteous, and the mercy of Sinners, who hath sent thy Son to redeem mankinde wi…h his p…ecious blood, who bringest Wars to …n end, and defendest those that tru…t in th…e, upon whose good will and pleasure doth depend the strength of … … we hum…ly p…ay in this R…yal … to … … …, who pur…eth his con…ence in thy … … … …hy … to be … wi…h …im, … … … … be … by th… …, may … … hi… …: Crown him with … … … and … that with all his …, …nd all his … he … in thee, … …ee, … and … … Ch…ch, and govern the people … … his … in … and equi…y.

If his M…jesties haire be not sm…th after it; the…e is King Edwards Ivory combe for th…t end.
Then the Co…bium or … … put on him.
After the putting on wh…reof, the Archbishop sai…h the prayer. Deus Rex Regum, &c.
The King put…h …n the Linnen gloves (p…rt of the Regalia.)
Then he taketh off his Sword, wherewith he was girt before.
He goeth to the Al…ar, and … … it.
The chief Peer then present …, and redeemeth the Sword,
Which having done, he draweth the Sword out, and carryeth it naked before the King, from that time all the solemnity.
The Arc…bishop taketh the Scepter with the Crosse, and delivereth it into the Kings right hand, with these words;
Accipe s…cptrum regiae potestatis insigne, virgam so…icet regni rect…m, virga… virtu…, qua … benè …, … Eccles…m p…pulumque vid…licet Christianum tibi … 'Domino commiss…m regia virtute ab improbis def…dat, pravos corrigas, rectos … & ut viam rectam … poss…t tuo … …, … de temporali regno ad … regnum pervenias, ipso … … regnum … in secula …. Amen.
Receive the Scepter, the signe of Kingly power, the Rod of the Kingdome, the Rod of Vertue, that thou m…ist govern thy sel… aright, and d…nd the holy Church and Christian people committed by God unto thy charge. Punish the wicked, and protect the just, and lead them in the way of righreousnesse, that from this Temporal kingdome, thou mai… be advanced to an Eternal kingdome, by his goodnesse whose kingdome is everlasting.
After the Archb…shop saith this prayer.
Omnium Domine fons bonorum, cunctorumque Deus institutorum perfectuum, tribue quaesumns famulo tuo Jacobo adeptam benè regere dig…atem, & à te sibi praestitum honorem dign…re corroborare. Honorifica eum … regibus, uberi eum benedictione locupleta, & in solio regni firma stabili…te consolida; visita eum sobole, praesta eum prolixitatem vitae. In diebus ejus semper …riatur Justitia, ut cum …ecunditate & … … glorietur in regno.
O Lord the Fountain of all good things, and the author of all good proceedings, grant we beseech thee to this thy servant James, that he may order aright the dignity he hath o…tained. Vouchsafe to confirm the honour which thou hast given him, honour him before all Kings, and …rich him with a rich benediction; establish him in the throne of this Realm; visit him with increase of Children, let justice spring up in his dayes, and with joy of gladnesse, let him reign in thine everlasting kingdome.
Then the Archbishop delivereth the Rod with the Dove into the Kings left hand, saying.
Accipe virgam virtutis at que aeq…atis, qua intelligas te mulcere pios, & terrere superbos, Errantes …iam doce, Lapsis que manum porrige, … superbos & releves humiles, ut aperiat tibi est…um Josus Christus dominus noster, qui de se ipso ait; Ego sum ostium per me si quis introierit s…lvabitur. Et ipse qui est clavis D…vid & Sc…um domus Israel, qui aperit, & nemo cl…udit, claudit & nemo aperit, sit tibi adjutor, qui educit vinctum de domo Carceris, sedentem in t…nebris & umbra mortis, ut in omnibus sequi merearis eum de quo Propheta David cecinit, Sedes tua Deus in seculum seculi, virga recta est virga regni tui, & imitare ipsum qui dicit. Diligas justitiam & odio habeas iniquitatem, propterea un…it te Deus Deus tuu… oleo laetitiae ad exemplum i…us, quem ante secula unxerat prae particibus suis, Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum, &c.
Receive the Rod of vertue and equity, Learn to make much of the godly, and to terrifie the wicked, Shew the way to those that go astray. Offer thy h…nd to those that fall. Repress the pro…d. Lift up the Lo…vly, that our Lord Jesus Christ may open to thee the dore, who saith of himself, I am the dore, b… me if any man enter in he shall be safe; and let him be thy helper, who is the key of David and the Scepter of the house of Israel, who openeth and no man shutteth, who shutteth and no man openeth, who bringeth forth the captive out of prison, where he sate in darkness and in the shadow of death, that in all things thou mayest follow him of whom the Prophet David saith, Thy seat O God endureth for ever, the Scepter of thy Kingdome is … right Scepter, thou hast loved righ…eousness, and hated iniquity: Where…ore God even thy God hath anointed thee with the oyl of gladness above thy Fellows, even Jesus Christ our Lord.
After this he blesseth the King, saying.
Benedicat tibi, &c. Dominus … t…, & … t… voluit … … suum esse Regem. … in … seculo f…licem & … … … esse …. … ….
The Lor… … and keep …hee and …s …e hath m…de thee King … his people, so he still p…osper the… in this world, an… … thee p…rtaker o… his ete…nal … in the world to come. Amen.
Gran… O Lord th…t the Clergy and People gathered together by … … …or this service of the King may by the g…acious … of thy goodnesse, and th… vigil…nt care of …hy … …nd King be continually governed, and … in all …. Amen.
Grant that they obeying …hy holy will, m…y be …reed from …ll adversities and … the riches of thy grace, may with … … w…lk in …he waies of thy Commandements, that in this life being made partakers of thy peace, they may be Citizens of thy Kingdome in the life that is to come, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The King kisseth the Archbishop, and the Bishops then Assistant.
After this, the King goeth up …rom the Altar to the Stage (all the Peers solemnly attending his Maj…sty in their places.)
In the mean time the Quire sing; … de…m … &c.
Which being ended, the Archbishop … the King into his throne there: a…ying,
Sta & retine à modo l…cum, … … usque … … tenuisti … … … … per … Dei omnipotent is & praesentem … … … & om…ium Episcoporum caeterorumque Dei …, & quanto Clerum sanctis altaribus propinquiorem …, tanto ei potiorem in locis congruis honorem impendere memineris, qu…tenus mediator Dei & hominum te mediatorem Cleri & Plebis in hoc regni Solio confirmet, & in regnum aeternum regnare faciat Jesus Christus Dominus noster, Rex R…gum & Dominus Dominantium, qui cum patre & spiritu sancto vivit, & regnat in secula seculorum. Amen.
Stand and hold fast from henceforth, that place whereof hitherto tho… hast been heir by the succession of thy fore-fathers, being now delivered unto thee, by the authority of Almighty God, and by the …nds of Us, and all the Bishops and Servants of God; and as thou seest the Clergy to come nearer unto the Altar, so remember that in places convenient thou give them greater honour… that the mediator of God …nd Man may establish thee in this Kingly throne, to be the mediator betwixt the Clergy and the Laity, and that thou maist raigne for ever with Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords, who with the Father and the holy Ghost, …veth and reigneth for ever. Amen.
Which done, all the Peers do their homage to the King. His verbis.
I become your Leige-man of Life and Limb, and of Carthly Worship, and Faith and …eoth shall bear unto you, to live and dye with you against all manner of folk. So God me help.
And after, put their hands and touch the Crown (by way of ceremony, as promising to …upport it with all their power.)
Then the King to ease himself of … … Rod in his …, giveth them to carry to such as it … his Majesty.
The Archbishop kneeled down, and made his Hom…ge as followeth,
Out of the Coronation of Edward the 6.
J. A. Shall be faithfull and true, and Faith and Troth bear unto you our Soveraign Lord, and to your Heires Kings of England, and I shall do and truly knowledge the service due of the Lands I claim to hold of you, as in the right of your Church, as God shall help me.
And so kissed the Kings left cheek, &c.
Or these words taken out of another book.
I become your man Leige of life and Limb, and Troth and hearty Honour to you shall bear, against all men that now live and dye. So help me God, &c.
The A…chbishop goeth down to the Altar, and begins the Communion.
The Prayer. Quaesumus omnipotens, &c.
Quaesumus omnipotens Deus, ut …amulus tuus Jacobus Rex noster, qui tua miseration… suscepit Regni guberna…ula, virtutum etiam omnium percipiat incrementa. Quibus decenter ornatus; & vitiorum voraginem devitare, & hostes superare, & ad te qui veritas & vita es gratiosus v…leat pervenire, per Dominum Iesum nostrum. Amen.
O Almighty God, w… beseech thee that this thy Servant James our King, who by thy mercy hath received the government of this Realm, may also receive an increase of all Vertues, whereby he may be acceptable to thee, and avoid the gulfe of vice, and overcome all his enemies, and finally come …o thee in glory, who art the Way the Truth, and the Life, thorough Christ our Lord.
