<title>At Fen-Church.</title> <l>THe Scene presented it selfe in a square and flat</l> <l>vpright, like to the side of a Citie: the top</l> <l>thereof, aboue the Vent,and Crest adorn'd</l> <l>with houses, towres, and steeples, set off in</l> <l>prospective. Vpon the battlements in a</l> <l>great captiall letter was inscribed,</l> <l>LONDINIVM:</l> <l>According to TACITUS: At SVETO-</l> <l>NIVS mir constantia, medios inter hosteis</l> <l>Londinium perrexit, cognomento quidem Co-</l> <l>loniae non insigne, sed copia Negotiatorum, commeatu maxime celebre. Be</l> <l>neath that in a less different character, was written</l> <l>CAMERA REGIA,</l> <l>Which title immediately after the Norman conquest it began to have; and</l> <l>by the indulgence of succeeding Princes, hath beene hitherto continued.</l> <l>In the Freeze ouer the gate, it seemth to speake this verse:</l> <l>PAR DOMVS AEC COELO,</l> <l>SED MINOR EST DOMINO.</l> <l>Taken out of MARTIAL, and implying, that though this citie (for the</l> <l>state, and magnificence) might (by</l> <l>Hyperbole) be said to touch the starres,</l> <l>and reach vp to heauen, yet was it farre inferior to the master thereof, who</l> <l>was his Maiestie; and in that respect vnworthy to receiue him. The high-</l> <l>est person advanc'd therein, was</l> <l>MONARTIA BRITANNICA,</l>

<l>and fitly: applying to the aboue mentioned title of the citie, THE KINGS</l> <l>CHAMBER, and therefore here placed as in the proper seate of the empire:</l> <l>for, to the glorie and light of our kingdome M.CAMDEN, speaking of</l> <l>London, saith, thee is, totius Britanniae Epitome, Britannicia Impery sedes,</l> <l>Regumg. Angliae Camera, tantum interomneis eminet, quantum (vt ait ille) in-</l> <l>ter viburnaCupressus.
