When ever any real Neceflitous Condition was truly reprefented at Comt,it feldom fail'd of fome Relief: nay,it was a Common thing, for the Ladies who were about the Queen,to Contribute freely themselves upon any fuch juft occafion, and amongst them to make a Purfe for diftreffed Perfons of fuch general Influence, is a Great Example! and fo largely Beneficial, is a Good one. Now fince God has been pleas'd to Turn our Feaftings into Mourning; let us turn fome part of our Hofpitality into acts of Charity: and let us Honour the Memory of our Dear Departed Queen, by an Immediate Imitation of Her Example in this particular; and by a prefent, and chearful exercise of that Vertue, which She always practis'd and lov'd: That when God fhall pleafe to call us out of this World, we alfo may be found Doing of Good, and be receiv'd into that Joy of our Lord and Mafter, of which all his Good and Faithful Servants shall partake. Now Now to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghoft, be all Honour, Glory, Power, Praise and Thanksgiving, now and for evermore, Amen. A SERMON Preach'd at the TEMPLE-CHURCH.
