The Memory of the Never-to-be-forgotten King WILLIAM, will be for ever precious to all True Protestants, but none more than the New English ones, on a Thousand Accounts; But very particularly for the Influence which he had on that Act of Parliament, by which the Succession of the British Crown has been Settled on the Illustrious House of Hanover, and we see therein, what is most Valuable to a Christian and an English-man secured unto us.

Behold, What a New Field of Wonders we are brought unto! And what wonderful Interpositions of GOD our SAVIOUR, to make Things Turn well for us, when we have been upon the very Point of being made a Sacrifice, we are invited now to take into our contemplation!
Every body now knows, That there was a Design with a Strong Hand carried on, to put by that Succession to the Crown, which all the Good Men in the Nations wished well unto. One cannot look back on the Story, without being ever now and then in pain for the Next Event! Without being Surprised & Amazed at the Strange Things which fell out One after another, to disappoint the Design which the Men that betrayed the Nations to France, had brought so near, so very near!—to an Execution!
