A move having been made as above indicated, the route 
taken was by the watch Leyden, and then along the canal 
through the so-called Beer street to the church, where the 
clerks, marines, soldiers, artizans, and Burghers turned 
inwards and saluted the body as it went past. The procession 
went through the whole corps, which presented arms and 
struck up the march, until they came to the church ; and 
when the vault of the late Governor was reached the body 
was lowered close to its resting-place by qualified bearers and 
afterwards lowered into the grave by twenty-four corporals. 
Hereupon the same with the bier and cover was shrouded over 
with the velvet pall, and at the same time the insignia were 
ranged in order. Whilst this was being done three volleys 
were fired with the muskets, and a cannon was fired after 
each volley, after which all the guns of the Fort at intervals 
of a minute were fired.
