(5) There must be twelve scutcheons of his arms affixed to the bars of the hearse, and three dozen “pinselles to stand above the hearse between the lights.”
(6) There must also be provided as many scutcheons as there are pillars in the church. Scutcheons may be set up in the four quarters of the church at discretion.
(7) Torches must be carried to the number of the deceased’s years, every torch to carry a scutcheon.
(8) Before and beside the hearse must walk five officers of arms bearing his coat of worship, his sword, his helmet, his crest, and his banner of arms, together with the banners already mentioned of the Holy Trinity, Our Lady, St. George, and the Saint, his avower.
(9) Cloth of gold for the ladies to give away.
(10) A company of “innocents” in white carrying tapers.
(11) The horse of the dead man, with a man-at-arms carrying the sword or spear or battle-axe.
(12) The heir must stand beside the priest when offerings are made.
This order, it will be observed, says nothing about the mourners. There were troops of mourners: the family, the relations, the friends, the servants, until the long, slow procession, singing, with the Priests of the Papey marching before, reached the whole length of Cheapside from St. Michael le Querne to St. Mildred’s.
