§. 94. Of Gods Providence to England in King Iames his time.
1. The day of Queen Elizabeths departure out of this life, was the day long expected by Papists, as a day 1for rooting out our Religion, and altering our government. For, Pope Clement 8. had sent the year before two Bulls, to interdict all claim or title to the Crown of England, though never so directly and nearly interested by descent, to all such as would not by their best endeavours promote the Catholic cause, and by solemn and sacred oath religiously subscribe thereto. But God who approveth our Religion, and detesteth their superstition, or rather idolatry, made all their hopes utterly frustrate. For, in the setting of one Sun immediately arose another, and that in full brightness, to the unspeakable 2comfort of all true hearted Englishmen, and to the utter astonishment of all popish enemies of this flourishing State. In the same morning wherein Queen Elizabeth died, 3was King James first at the Court gate, and then at the Cross in Cheap side, with wonderful great acclamations, and all manner of manifestations of joy, proclaimed King. An especial evidence of the divine providence.
