[In after times this ceremony seems to be that called "The

Recognition." Sandford, speaking of the coronation of James II., says,

"The Archbishop of Canterbury standing near the king, on the east side

of the theatre, his majesty, attended as before, rose out of his chair,

and stood before it, whilst the archbishop, having his face to the

east, said as follows: 'Sirs. I here present unto you King James, the

rightful inheritor of the crown of this realm; wherefore all ye that

are come this day to do your homage, service, and bounden duty, are ye

willing to do the same?' From thence the said archbishop, accompanied

with the lord keeper, the lord great chamberlain, the lord high

constable, and the earl marshal (garter king of arms going before

them), proceeded to the south side of the theatre, and repeated the

same words; and from thence to the west, and lastly to the north side

of the theatre, in like manner: the king standing all this while by his

chair of state, toward the east side of the theatre, and turning his

face to the several sides of the theatre, at such time as the

archbishop at every of them spake to the people. At every of which the

people signified their willingness and joy by loud acclamations."]
