Then followed two Yeomen, viz.: the Sheriff [of Northamptonshire]'s Bailiff and the Bailiff of Peterborough; with black staves.
And after them [100 poor men, in] Mourning Coats.
Then Sir George Savile, in a Mourning gown, carrying the great Standard: viz. a Cross on a Field azure; the Streamer, a Unicorn argent in a Field of guiles; a Posy written, In my defence, GOD me defend!
Then followed Mourning Cloaks, two by two, a great number: whereof the first were the late Queen's Officers.
And after them, Mourning Gowns.
Among these Officers of her House was [Monsieur du Preau] a French Jesuit, her Confessor, with a golden crucifix about his neck; which he did wear openly: and being told, That the people murmured and disliked at it; he said, He would do it, though he died for it. Thus we may see how obdurate their hearts are in malice; and how obstinate they shew themselves in the vain toys and superstitious trifles of their own imaginations.
Then [Richard Fletcher] the Dean [of Peterborough].
Next the two Bishops: [Richard Howland] of Peterborough, and [William Wickham, of] Lincoln.
[Charles Willoughby,] the Lord Willoughby of Parham;
[Lewis Mordaunt,] the Lord Mordaunt [of Turvey];
