The Lord Maior at this Dinner presented the King with a Purse of Gold. And when he was ready to depart, the said Maior besought him out of the great Favour which he had before professed to the Clothworkers Society in particular, that his Majesty would vouchsafe to be free of the Clothworkers. Which the King readily accepted. And descending from the Dining Room, went into the Hall, the Maior bearing the Sword before him. And there he was received by the Master, Wardens, and Assistants. Unto whom the King spake kindly, and with Respect. And asking, who was Master of the Company. The Lord Maior answered, Sir William Stone. To whom the King then said, Wilt thou make me free of the Clothworkers? Yes, said the Master, and do think myself a happy Man, that I live to see this Day. Then said the King, Stone, give me thy Hand. And now I am a Clothworker. And after that, he walked into the Garden, and then into the great Parlour, the Lord Maior bearing the Sword before him. And while he sat there, the Earls of Shrewsbury and Cumberland, being both free of that Company, presented his Majesty with Bread and Wine. Then rising up, he said, Now I drink unto all my good Brethren the Clothworkers. And I pray God to bless them all, and all good Clothworkers. And for Proof of our special Favour to the Fraternity, I do here give unto this Company two Brace of Bucks yearly for ever, against the Time of the Election of the Master
