A pack of hounds was brought out for [King] James and put in pursuit of a carted deer. James hunted as far as Islington where he was to stay at Lord Thomas Howard’s Charterhouse.
The children of the nearby Christ’s Hospital had lined themselves up in its garden to sing for the King, but the crowd pushed right through them, scattering the children left and right, as they threw their hats and shouted out in greeting to the King.
