London, Oct. 30 . . . Concerning the marriage of the
Princess Royal with the Prince of Orange ... that the
preparations for it and manner of solemnizing it ... this
will exceed that [the Royal marriage of the Elector of
Palatine, later King of Bohemia to a Princess royal of
England] in splendour and magnificence . . .
The chapel in which it is to be performed is built by the
famous Inigo Jones, and has one of the most admir'd ceilings
in England. The area before the alter is to be rais'd some
steps, and a throne made thereon for their highnesses to
repose themselves whilst the musick is playing. [remainder
of this long para. concludes the description of the plans.]
