And when One of the Agents for that Country, being Introduced unto the QUEEN, and having the Honour to Represent at large, the State of that People before Her Majesty; said, I most Humbly pray Tour Majesties Favour to Your Majesties Subjects in New-England; than whom, none are more in Your Interests, nor are there any who do with greater Devotion pray for Your Long and Happy Reign. They only Petition, that they may be Resettled in the Enjoyment of those Privileges, whereof they were possessed, until the Last Year of K. Charles II. The QUEEN most graciously Replied; I would not only have Justice done to that People, but Favour shown to them. And if any thing be yet wanting to that Province, it was not on Her part; who showed her particular Tenderness ⟨p. 47⟩for their Welfare, in sending them, by that Hand, a kind supply for their Defence against the Common Enemy.

And now, O WHEEL! what a doleful Turn hast thou given, in the Removal of so Excellent a Princess?
