This has indeed been the way of GOD our SAVIOUR all along Appearing for us.
What a Seasonable Provision did our GOD make for us, by a Friend on the Spot, appearing at the Court for us, at the Revolution, that we might be delivered from a Total and Final Deprivation of all the Privileges, which distinguished us, from the rest of the Plantations!
