II. The Entrance into the Church The King, as soon as he enters at the west door of the Church, is to be received with this Anthem: I was glad when they said unto me: We will go into the house of the Lord. Our feet shall stand in thy gates: O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is built as a city: that is at unity in itself. O pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls: and plenteousness within thy palaces. Psalm 122, 1–3, 6, 7 The King shall in the mean time pass up through the body of the Church, into and through the choir, and so up the steps to the Theatre; and having passed by his Throne, he shall make his humble adoration, and then kneeling at the faldstool set for him before his Chair of Estate on the south side of the Altar, use some short private prayers; and after, sit down in his Chair. The Bible, Paten, and Chalice shall meanwhile be brought by the Bishops who had borne them, and placed upon the Altar. Then the Lords who carry in procession the Regalia, except those who carry the Swords, shall come from their places and present in order every one what he carries to the Archbishop, who shall deliver them to the Dean of Westminster, to be placed by her upon the Altar. |

III. The Recognition The Archbishop, together with the Lord Chancellor, Lord Great Chamberlain, Lord High Constable, and Earl Marshal (Garter King of Arms preceding them), shall then go to the East side of the Theatre, and after shall go to the other three sides in this order, South, West, and North, and at every of the four sides the Archbishop shall with a loud voice speak to the People: and the King in the mean while, standing up by King Edward's Chair, shall turn and show herself unto the People at every of the four sides of the Theatre as the Archbishop is at every of them, the Archbishop saying: Sirs, I here present unto you King ALEXANDER, your undoubted King: Wherefore all you who are come this day to do your homage and service, Are you willing to do the same? The People signify their willingness and joy, by loud and repeated acclamations, all with one voice crying out, GOD SAVE KING ALEXANDER. Then the trumpets shall sound. |
