This must teach us to pray earnestly, in our daily prayers, for the good estate of this Kingdom, wherein we live; and of that worthy Prince and Queen, under whose government, we have been so long, and so liberally blessed. For, the welfare and prosperity, the certainty and security of it and her, is not in our policy, might, munition, ships▪ not in the strength of our navy, nor in the power of our armour, nor in the chivalry of our people, nor in the wisdom of our Council (though for all these we are a people honoured of our friends, and feared of our enemies): But in the mighty hand of our God, who (as Daniel saith) beareth rule over the Kingdoms of the earth, and giveth them to whomsoever he will, Dan. 4.22.
