Previous to the coronation, on 7 Feb 1547, the archbishop had taken an official, formal commission to execute his archepiscopal office, crafted carefully and founded in/on supreme Royal authority and, as a result, authorizing nearwise dominant powers to Dr. Cranmer. The coronation service began at 0900 AM. The gilded, bejeweled setting is described including vested participants—bishops, choristers, and others. Kneeling and bowing noblemen are present. The manner of the coronation is described including choirs, organs, and trumpets, including the Te Deum. Dr. Cranmer and other Bishops meet the young King at the western door of the Abbey. An elevated stage is placed in the Quire afore the altar. Dr. Cranmer conducted the “Mass of the Holy Ghost” (4). King Edward crowned by the archbishop. The archbishop gives speech at the coronation. He conceives great hopes for king Edward, likening him to the Second Josiah (Henry VIII being the first). Rev. Strype includes the sermon.
