A discourse relating to the much-lamented death and solemn funeral of our incomparable and…

All these are to us great Indications of a copious Communication of Divine Grace, and that She received not the Grace of God in vain. I cannot here omit Her Reverential Regard for the Lord's-Day, which at the Hague I had a very particular Occasion to take notice ⟨p. 36⟩of. On a Saturday a Vessel (the Packet-Boat) was stranded not far from thence, which lying very near the Shore, I viewed (happening to be thereabouts at that time) till the last Passengers were brought (as all were) safe off. Multitudes went to see it, and Her Highness being informed of it, said She was willing to see it too, but thought She should not, for it was then too late for that Evening, and She reckoned by Monday it would be shivered to Pieces, (tho it remaining entire till then, She was pleased to view it that day) but She resolved, She added, She would not give so ill an Example, as to go see it on the Lord's-Day.

Next to her exemplary Piety towards God, shone with a second Lustre her most amiable Benignity towards men; and peculiarly towards them whom she judged Pious, of whatsoever Persuasion in respect of the Circumstances of Religion. She opened not her mouth, but with Wisdom, and in her Tongue was the Law of Kindness. She hath divers times expressed her Acceptance, Value, and Desire of their Prayers, whom she knew in some Modes of Worship to differ from her; as one that well understood, that the kingdom of God stands not in lesser things, but in righteousness, peace, &c and that they who in these things serve Christ, are acceptable to God, and are to be approved of men. She was not inaccessible to such of Her Subjects, whose dissentient Judgments in some such things, put them into lower Circumstances. Great She was in all valuable Excellencies, nor Greater in any, than in Her most Condescending Goodness. Her singular Humility adorned all the rest. Speaking once of a good thing which She intended, She added, But of myself I can do nothing; and somewhat being by one (of two more only) then present, interposed, She answered, She hoped God would help Her.
