1577-8.

On the 19th of February, 1577-8, Dr. James, Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, preached before the Queen in the Chapel at Hampton Court'.

Early in 1578 Queen Elizabeth honoured John Lacy, Esq. a rich Citizen of London, by visiting him at Putney, where he then resided in a spacious old house, on the site of the ancient mansion of the Waldecks. Her Majesty, no doubt, derived either convenience or amusement from this gentleman's acquaintance; for she seems to have honoured him with her company more frequently than any of her subjects, and sometimes stayed at Putney two or three nights. The Visits were repeated twice in 1579; and the Queen was there again in 1580. In 1582 she stayed two nights, July 10 and 11; in 1584 one night: and in 1585 two nights, July 27 and 28. She was there July 29, 1585; again in 1589; dined there three times in 1596; and staid three days in March 1596-7. She was at Putney again one night in 1597; two nights in 1601; and on her final removal from Whitehall to Richmond, Jan. 21, 1602-3, two months before her death, she dined at Mr. Lacy's.

The Queen's Progresses in this year were very extensive; and the earliest of them is described in a Letter from Gilbert Talbot to his Father, 3 May, 1578: "On May-day I sawe her Matie; and it pleased her to speake to me very graciously. In the morninge, about VIII of the clocke, I happened to walke in the Tylte-yarde, under the Gallery where her Matie useth to stande to see the ruñinge

"A Sermon preached before the Queenes Maiestie at Hampton Court, the 19 of February last paste, on Ezra, iv. 1-3. By William Jones, Doctor of Diuinitie, and Deane of Christe's Church, Oxford," was published in 1578.

• Mr. Lacy was a member of the Clothworkers' Company. He lived near the water-side; and his house, which was rebuilt in 1598, is still standing. The armorial bearings of the Clothworkers are on the ceiling of one of the rooms of his house, which is now the property of Mrs. Mary and Mrs. Henrietta D'Aranda.

› This Visit is entered in the Churchwarden's Accompts of Fulham, by a payment of “2s. 8d. to the Ringers for vittels." Several similar entries occur in those Books, in which it also appears that King James and his Queen went from Putney to Whitehall, July 22, 1603, previously to their Coronation; and a Survey of Putney, anno 1617, mentions the circumstance of the King's having been in Mr. Lacy's house.
