42 | <p>On 27 May 1537, Trinity Sunday, there was a <i>Te Deum</i>
|
---|
43 | sung in St Paul's cathedral for joy at the queen's quickening of her child,
|
---|
44 | my lord chancellor, lord privy seal and various other lords and bishops
|
---|
45 | being then present; the mayor and aldermen with the best guilds of the
|
---|
46 | city being there in their liveries, all giving laud and praise to God for
|
---|
47 | joy about it. The bishop of Worcester, Dr Latimer, made an oration
|
---|
48 | before all the lords and commons after the <i>Te Deum</i> was sung, explaining
|
---|
49 | the reason for their assembly, which oration was marvelously fruitful to
|
---|
50 | the hearers. And also the same night various great fires were made
|
---|
51 | in London, with a hogshead of wine at every fire for the poor people to
|
---|
52 | drink as long as it lasted. I pray Jesus, if it be his will, to send
|
---|
53 | us a prince.<p> <p align="center"><a href="primary.html">
