rel at Providence, while God preserves our King to go in and out before us. We had indeed perpetual Day; and no fooner was one Sun withdrawn, but another ascended our Horizon, with equal Luftre and Brightness: This was a peculiar Happiness which we never had before, and which the Neceffity of our Affairs required now; but though God has cut us fhort in this, we have a King ftill, the Terror of France, and the Protector of Europe; a King, whom Affection as well as Blood has Naturalized to us; who loves our Nation and our Church, which he has once delivered, and God grant he may live long to fettle and te&t both. We have no reason to fear our Enemies, either at home or abroad, while a Prince is at the Helm, who wants neither Counsel nor Courage; efpecially if we follow that noble Example, which the Two Houfes of Parliament have fet

us, to give him fuch fresh Afsurances of our Fidelity, as may strengthen his Hands against his and our Enemies Abroad, and make him easie and safe at Home.

To conclude, This is God's doing, and it becomes us to be dumb, and not to open our Mouthes, because he has done it: He is the Sovereign and Unaccountable Lord of the World; who fhall fay unto him, What dost thou? Life and Death are in his Hands; the Fates of Princes and Kingdoms. That he has done it, fhould be a fufficient reason to us to fubmit, because though he does things great and wonderful, and beyond our Understanding, yet he never does any thing but what is wife and good: This I'm fure is the most effectual way to turn even the fevereft Judgments into Bleffings, to reverence God, and to humble our felves under his mighty Hand, and to implore

his Mercy, to repair those Breaches he has made upon us. We must not complain of Providence; but we may make our Complaints to God, and be the more importunate in our Prayers for the Prefervation of our King. The Death of our excellent Queen both calls for, and will juftifie and recommend fuch humble Importunities; and the Prefervation of our King, will, in a great measure, make up this Lofs to us; Which God of his infinite Mercy grant, through our Lord fefus Chrift; to whom with the Father, and the Holy Ghoft, be Honour, Glory, and Power, now and for ever, Amen.
