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

But that at last, I may say something, which may more nearly Touch my Friends in the Plantations, I will Recite, and but Recite, the Words of the most Learned Bishop of Salisbury, who ha's been my Author, for some things already spoken, in his Essay upon her Memory; She took particular Methods, to be well informed of the State of our Plantations, and of those Colonies that we have among the Infidels. But it was no small Grief to Her, ⟨p. 46⟩to Her, to hear that they were but too generally a Reproach to the Religion, by which they were Named, (I do not say, which they professed, for many of them seem scarce to profess it.)

But as none of all the Plantations have signalized their Loyalty to Her, more than the Country of NEW-ENGLAND, so, She ever Expressed a special Regard for that Country.

But as none of all the Plantations have signalized their Loyalty to Her, more than the Countrey of NEW-ENGLAND, so, She ever Expressed a special Regard for that Countrey.

For New England She most readily Spoke unto the King at Home, and Wrote unto Him abroad, That He would be favourable unto His Good Subjects there.
