New-England had not so far Incurred the Royal Displeasure; though some Displeasing Things had been Unwisely done in the Country. Mr. Mather being in an Agency for them, like his Predecessor Flavian, thought it no Imprudence to let the King hear something of what passed in the Public Devotions of the People for which he was concerned.
On March 14. 1689. The Lord Wharton introduced him to King WILLIAM; and Mr. Mather knowing that the king desired none but very short Speeches, only said, I Congratulate your Majesties happy Accession to the crown, and I Humbly Implore, your Favour to New-England.
KING. You may rest Assured, that I will show them all the Favour, which it is in my Power to do.
KING. You may rest Assured, that I will shew them all the Favour, which it is in my Power to do.
Ma. I may Humbly and Freely Speak it; The very Prayers of that People, will be of some Service to Your Majesty. They are a Good and a Praying People.
