Observanda. The life and death of the late Q. Mary

The Lamentable Formality and Contention which overspread the Protestant Churches abroad, most sensibly Afflicted her; She would, with a certain Anguish of Heart, say upon it, Can such Dry Bones Live?

She Passionately Wished that the Church of England might be Reformed, of many things that She saw Amiss in it; And being One that Loved the Image of the Lord Jesus Christ, in whomsoever She saw it, without any Little Respects to Differing parties, there was nothing more in her Wishes, than a better Union among those that had that Image on them It was unto an Honoured Relation of my own, that She uttered those words, Inasmuch as a Man cannot make himself Believe what he will, why should we persecute one another? I wish, I could see all Good Men of one Mind; but in the mean ⟨p. 45⟩Time, I Pray, Let them however Love one another. Words, worthy to be written in Letters of Gold She was particularly Resolved upon throwing Disgrace upon all Ministers, that should not Painfully and Faithfully, Watch over the Souls under their Charge. But the Day before her last Sickness arrested her, She said, She had no great Hope of Mending matters, yet She was Resolved to go on, and never Suffer her self to be discouraged, or loose Heart: She would still Try what could be done, and pursue her Design, how slow or insensible soever, the Progress might be.
