What should I speak of her wisdom in government. Let us look upon the state as it was before: what hunger was in this land? many of our brethren dyed for lack of food. What cruel executions were then in London? there were few streets where was not set up a gallows or a gibbet. In Oxford 52. were executed at one Sessions. What diseases fell upon us? the gravest, and wisest, and richest men were taken away. Calais was lost. A stranger and foreign people had the rule over us. Al things went against us, because God was not with us.

But God restored by his servant our Queen those joys again, which we lacked. He hath given us civill peace among our selves, and peace with foreign nations. He hath given us health of body, and store of victuals: discharge of debts, and avoiding of strangers: he hath given us mercy in justice, abandoning all cruelty. We are now with God, and all things go well with us.
