ANTHEM I.

Psalm cxxii. verses 1, 5, 6, 7. "I was glad when they said unto me,

we will go into the House of the Lord. For there is the seat of

judgment, even the seat of the House of David. O pray for the peace

of Jerusalem; they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within

thy walls, and plenteousness within thy palaces."

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without

end. Amen.

During the above his Majesty passed through the body of the church, and

through the choir up the stairs to the theatre. He then passed his

throne and made his humble adoration, and afterwards knelt at the

faldstool set for him before his chair; at the same time his Majesty

used some short private prayer: he then sat down (not on his throne, but

in his chair before and below his throne) and reposed himself.
