And in regard fo many Knights eled were introduced 'together, it was judged neceffary, that their Mantles and !

Collars (hould be likewife brought in the proceedingand each eled Knight appointed one of the Gentlemen that

attended him, to bear the Culhion whereon they were laidbefore him to the Choir Door, where they held them intheir Arms, till Garter in due order fetch'd them into theChoir : And here we may infert this general Rule, thatat all Inftallations, where fome of the eled Knights arenot fent for unto the Chapter-Houfe, to receive Invefti-ture with the Surcoat, before the Senior eled Knighthath been conduded to his Stall, but left to repofe them-felves in the Eaft Ifle of the Chappel, as hath often hap^percd, the Knights Commiflioners, or Affiftapts, on theirreturn to the Chapter-Houfe, fend Garter for the nextSenior eled Knight, whom they receive at the Doorthereof, and having invefted him with his Surcoat, andgirt his Sword about him, proceed with him to his In.ftallation in the ufual manner. And the fame method isobferved if there were more eled Knights to follow ; andwe find it 30 Henry VIII. 16, and 34, and 10 Car. I,The Knight, or Knights, having now receiv’d a com.pleat lnftaliation, the Knights-Commiflfioners, Affiftants.orKnigtns-Companions, with marks of Refped, take theirleave of the laft inftalled Knight, and defcending into theChoir, take their own Stalls; but the Senior Knight-Companion afcends firft: But obferve, that if the Stallsof the Knights-Commiffioners, Afliftants, or Knights-Com-panions, be on the fame fide with the laft inftalledKnight, then they defcend not into the Choir, but palsdiredly to them along the Stalls, as in the 34 E!i%. TheCeremonies of lnftaliation being finillied, the Officers ofArms firft, next the Alms-Knights, defcend from theSteps of the Altar, and take their feveral Stations in theChoir; then one of the Prebends of the College, or,ifthe Sovereign be prefent, the Prelate, with the Serjean?of the Vcftry before him, is conduded to the Altar bythe Verger of the Chappel, and there begins the Serviceappointed by the Church, which being ended, the Pro-ceeding pafles out of the Choir in uiual Order, either tothe Prefence-Chamber, or the Lieutenants, or Cornmif-

fioners Lodgings, as the Occafion is.
