No Age perhaps affords a Parallel. God in this Thing, bestowed upon Her, the Reward of Her own Averseness to Evil Speaking, or, the Censuring others: A Vice, that She not only did Avoid Her self, but also Reprove in others, on all occasions. And yet, when some Reflections on this Her Happiness were made before Her Majesty, such was Her profound Modesty, that She said, She Ascribed thus wholly unto the Goodness of God; for She doubted not but that many fell under hard Characters, who deserved them as little. She said also, God knew her Weakness, that She was not able to bear some Imputations, and therefore He did not Try Her beyond Her Strength. She added, She hoped God would still Bless Her in her own good Name, as long as She was careful not to Hurt others. Let us pass on to take our Observation of those more Fulgent Rays, with which this Bright Star, of the First Magnitude, Influenced more than Three Kingdoms. Yea, now, Like that of Cassiopaea, She is Retired into Heaven, yet Let us continue the Observation. This Greatest LADY that ever Europe saw, was by God▪ Raised up to preserve that Sacred Religion of ⟨p. 38⟩His, which was every where, as one says, in its Last Agonies; and She was Her self a Pattern, as well as Patron, of that Religion.
