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.
