GOD, by a wondrous Revolution hath brought unto the Throne of Three Kingdoms, ⟨p. 34⟩by the Voice of all the good people therein, a KING, whose Royal Virtues are such, that we may truly say, God hath not so dealt with any Nation: As the English Nation is the most Glorious of any under Heaven, so there is no Nation, that can boast of such a KING, as ours! A KING Raised by Heaven, to save Three Kingdoms from the Chains of Popery and Slavery that were Treacherously prepared for them, and break those that were apace putting upon all Europe also: A KING used by Heaven, to put an Hook in the Nostrils of a Leviathan, and make him disgorge at the Peace of Ryswick, Cities and Countries, which contain as much in Bigness, as all the Kingdom of England: A KING, whose Royal Assent unto sundry Acts of Parliament, has advanced the English Nation, unto Privileges, richly worth all the millions of Money, that have been spent since the Revolution; and the Scotch Nation is likewise Restored unto its Desired Felicity. As New England, was the Earliest of all the Plantations in Declaring for this Illustrious PRINCE, thus from New England also there go up as Lively ⟨p. 35⟩Acclamations, as from any whatsoever, Long, Long may we have such a KING to Reign over us!
