No stranger (which is observed 1as a great blessing in the scriptures) of our Christian, our most gracious Sovereign, no heathen, nor Pagan prince? Shall we not pray for the health of our most merciful, most loving Sovereign, the preserver of us and our country, in so long peace, quietness, and security, no cruel person, no tyrant, no spoiler of our goods, no shedder of our bloods, no burner and destroyer of our Townes, Cities, and Country, as were those, for whom yet as ye have heard, Christians being their subjects ought to pray?

Let vs not commit so great ingratitude agaynst GOD and our Soueraigne, as not continually to thanke GOD for this gouernment, and for his great and continuall benefites and blessinges powred vpon vs by suche gouernment. Let vs not commit so great a sinne agaynst God, agaynst our selues, and our countrey, as not to praye continuallye
