-"Many, whose sequester'd lot

Forbids their interference, looking on,

Anticipate perforce some dire event;

And, seeing the old castle of the state,

That promis'd once more firmness, so assail'd,

That all its tempest-beaten turrets shake,

Stand motionless expectants of its fall."

Cowper.

NOTE. Each Motto that follows, is from Cowper's "Task."

This WORD is the Watchword-

the talisman word,

That the WATERLOO-MAN's to crush

with his sword;

But, if shielded by Norfolk

and Bedford's alliance,

It will set both his sword,

and him at defiance;

If Fitzwilliam, and Grosvenor, and

Albemarle aid it,

And assist its best Champions,

who then dare invade it?

'Tis the terrible WORD OF FEAR,

night and morn,

To the Guilty Trio,

all cover'd with scorn;

First, to the Doctor,

of Circular fame,

A Driv'ller, a Bigot, a Knave

without shame:

And next, Derry Down Triangle

by name,

From the Land of Mis-rule,

and Half-hanging, and Flame:

And then, to the Spouter of Froth

by the hour,

The worthless colleague

of their infamous power;

Who dubb'd him 'the Doctor,'

whom now he calls 'brother',

And to get at his Place,

took a shot at the other;

Who haunts their Bad House,

a base living to earn,

By playing Jack-Pudding, and Ruffian,

in turn;

Who bullies for those,

whom he bullied before;

Their Flash-man, their Bravo,

a son of a ----;

The hate of the People,

Who curse the day

wherein they were born

On account of Taxation

too great to be borne,

THE CLERICAL MAGISTRATE.

THIS PRIEST,

made 'according to Law,'

Who, on being ordain'd, vow'd, by rote, like a daw,

That he felt himself call'd, by the Holy Spirit,

To teach men the Kingdom of Heaven to merit;

That, to think of the World and the flesh he'd cease,

And keep men in quietness, love, and peace;

And, making thus his profession and boast,

Receiv'd, from the Bishop, the Holy Ghost:

Then-not having the fear of God before him-

Is sworn in a Justice, and one of the Quorum;

'Gainst his spiritual Oath, puts his Oath of the Bench,

And, instead of his Bible, examines a wench;

Gets Chairman of Sessions-leaves his flock, sick

or dying,

To license Ale-houses-and assist in the trying

Of prostitutes, poachers, pickpockets, and thieves;-

Having charged the Grand Jury, dines with them,

and gives

"Church and King without day-light gets fresh,

and puts in-

To the stocks vulgar people, who fuddle with gin:

Stage-coach men, and toll-men, convicts as he pleases;

And beggars and paupers incessantly teazes:

Commits starving vagrants, and orders Distress

On the Poor, for their Rates-signs warrants to press,

And beats up for names to a Loyal Address:

Would indict, for Rebellion, those who Petition:

And, all who look peaceable, try for Sedition;

If the People were legally Meeting, in quiet,

Would pronounce it decidedly-sec. Stut.-a Riot,

And order the Soldiers 'to aid and assist,'

That is-kill the helpless, who cannot resist.

He, though vowing 'from all worldly studies to

cease,'

Breaks the Peace of the Church, to be Justice of Peace;

Breaks his vows madeto Heaven: a pander for power;

A Perjurer-a guide to the People no more;

On God turns his back,

when he turns the State's Agent;

And damns his own Soul,

to be friends with the ----.

THE END.

THE QUEEN'S MATRIMONIAL LADDER,

A National Toy With Fourteen Step Scenes;

And Illustrations In Verse,

With Eighteen Other Cuts.

By The Author Of The Political House That Jack Built."

'It is a wonderful thing to consider the strength of Princes' wills when they are bent to have their Pleasure fulfilled, wherein no reasonable persuasion' will serve their turn: how little do they regard the dangerous sequels, that may ensue as well to themselves as to their Subjects. And amongst all things there is nothing that makes them more wilful than Carnal Love, and various affecting of voluptuous desires."

Cavendish's Memoirs of Curd. Wolsey

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

QUALIFICATION.

In love, and in drink, and o'ertoppled by debt

With women, with wine, and with duns on the fret.

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

DECLARATION.

The Prodigal Son, by his perils surrounded,

Vex'd, harass'd, bewilder'd, asham'd, and con-

founded,

Fled for help to his Father,

confessed his ill doing,

And begged for salvation

from stark staring ruin;

The sire urged-"The People

your debts have twice paid,

"And, to ask a third time,

even Pitt is afraid;

"But he shall if you'll marry, and lead a new life,-

"You've a cousin in Germany-make her your

wife!"

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

ACCEPTATION.

From the high halls of Brunswick, all youthful and

gay,

From the hearth of her fathers, he lured her away:

How joy'd she in coming-

how smiling the bower;

flow sparkling their nuptials-

how welcome her dower.

Ah! short were her pleasures-full soon came her

cares-

Her husbandless bride-bed was wash'd with her

tears.

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

ALTERATION.

Near a million of debts gone,

all gone were her charms-

What! an Epicure have his own wife

in his arms?

She was not to his taste-

what car'd he for the 'form,'

'To love and to cherish'

could not mean reform:

'To love' meant, of course, nothing else

but neglect;-

'To cherish' to leave her,

and shew disrespect

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

IMPUTATION.

Was it manly, when widow'd,

to spy at her actions;

To listen to eaves-droppers,

whisp'ring detractions:

And, like an old Watchman,

with faults to conceal,

Get up a false Charge,

as a proof of his zeal?

If desertion was base, Oh base be his name,

Who, having deserted, would bring her to sham?

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

EXCULPATION.

Undaunted in spirit, her courage arose,

With encrease of charges, and encrease of foes.

Despising the husband,

who thus had abused her,

She proved to his father,

his son had ill used her:-

Her conduct examin'd, and sifted, shone bright,

Her enemies fled, as the shadows of night

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

EMIGRATION.

Her father and king, while with reason yet blest,

Protected her weakness, and shielded her rest;

Infirmity seizes him, false friends draw near,

Then spies gather round, and malignants appear;

And cajole, wait, watch, insult,

alarm, and betray,

Till from home, and her daughter,

they force her away.

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

REMIGRATION.

Still pursued, when a 'wanderer,'

her child sleeps in death,

And her best friend, in England, her king,

yields his breath;

This gives her new rights-

they neglect and proscribe her;

She threatens returning-they then try to bribe her!

The bullies turn slaves, and, in meanness, fawn on her:

They feel her contempt, and they vow her dishonour;

But she 'steers her own course,' comes indignantly

over,

And the shouts of the nation salute her at Dover!

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

CONSTERNATION.

Ah, what was that groan!-

'twas the Head of the Church,

When he found she was come-

for he dreaded a search

Into what he'd been doing:

and sorely afraid, for

What she might find out,

cried 'I'll not have her pray'd for';

And the B---ps, obeying their pious Head,

care took

That the name of his wife

should be out of the prayer book!

A BURNING SHAME!"

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

ACCUSATION.

On searching for precedents, much to their dread,

They found that they could n't well cut off her head;

And the 'House of Incurables' raised a 'Report'

She was not a fit person to live in his Court.

How like an OLD CHARLEY

they then made him stand,

In his lanthorn a leech,

the 'Report' in his hand.

'Good folks be so good as not go near that door

'For, though my own wife, she is-I could say more

'But it's all in this Bag, and there'll be a fine pother,

'I shall get rid of her, and I'll then get another!'

Yet he thought, to himself,-

'twas a thought most distressing,-

'If she should discover

I've been M-ch-ss-g,

'There's an end of the whole!

D--rs C-ns, of course,

'If my own hands are dirty,

won't grant a D---ce!'

He tried to look wise, but he only look'd wild;

The women laugh'd out, and the grave even smiled:

The old frown'd upon him-the children made sport,

And his wife held her ridicule at his 'Report'!

Moral.

Be warn'd by his fate

Married, single, and all;

Ye elderly Gentlemen,

Pity his fall!

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

PUBLICATION.

As yon bright orb, that vivifies our ball,

Sees through our system, and illumines all;

So, sees and shines, our Moral Sun, The Press,

Alike to vivify the mind, and bless;

Sees the rat Leech turn towards Milan's walls,

'Till the black slime betrays him as he crawls;'

Sees, from that recreant, vile, and eunuch-land,

Where felon-perjurers hold their market-stand,

Cooke, with his 'cheek of parchment, eye of stone,'

Get up the evidence, to go well down;

Sees who, with eager hands, the Green Bag cram,

And warns the nation of the frightful flam;

Sees Him, for whom they work the treacherous

task,

With face, scarce half conceal'd, behind their mask,

Fat, fifty-eight, and frisky, still a beau,

Grasping a half-made match, by Leech-light go;

Led by a passion, prurient, blind, and batter'd,

Lame, bloated, pointless, flameless, age'd and

shatter'd;

Creeping, like Guy Fawkes, to blow up his wife,

Whom, spurn'd in youth, he dogs through after-life.

Scorn'd, exiled, baffled, goaded in distress,

She owes her safety to a fearless Press:

With all the freedom that it makes its own,

It guards, alike, the people and their throne;

While fools with darkling eye-balls shun its gaze,

And soaring villains scorch beneath its blaze.

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

INDIGNATION.

The day will soon come, when 'the Judge and the

Ponderer,'

Will judge between thee, and the charge-daring

'Wanderer

Will say-'Thou who cast the first stone at thy wife,

Art thou without sin, and is spotless thy life?'

Ah! what if thy faults should 'outrival the sloe,'

And thy wife's, beside thine, should look 'whiter

than snow'!

Bethink thee! the old British Lion awoke,

Turns indignant, and treads out thy bag-full of smoke.

Spurn thy minions-the traitors, who counsel thee,

banish;

And the soldiers will quickly forget all their Spanish!

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

CORONATION.

Shakspeare says, in King John, it's a curse most

abhorrent,

That 'Slaves take the humours of Kings for a warrant.'

A more useful truth never fell from his pen,

If Kings would apply it like sober-bred men.

The Slaves of your will,

will make your reign, in History,

A misrule of force, folly, taxing, and mystery:

Indulging your wish for

what, with law,'s incompatible,

For the present, they've render'd your crown

not come-at-able;

And the tongues of old women and infancy wag,

With, 'He call'd for his crown-and

they gave him the Bag!'

* * *

Original Size -- Medium-Size

DEGRADATION.

To this have they brought thee, at last!

Exposed thee, for all men to see!

Ah, surely, their pandering

shall quickly be past:-

'How wretched their portion

shall be!

'Derision shall strike them

forlorn,

'A mockery that never shall die:

'The curses of hate and the hisses

of scorn,

f Shall follow wherever they fly;

'And proud o'er their ruin

for ever be hurl'd,

'The laughter of triumph,

the jeers of the world!'

THE JOSS AND HIS FOLLY,

An Extract of an overland Dispatch.

I stare at it from out my casement,

And ask for what is such a place meant.

Byron.

July 29, 1820.

--The queerest of all the queer sights

I've set sight on;-

Is, the what dye-call'-t thing, here,

The Folly at Brighton

The outside-huge teapots,

all drill'd round with holes,

Relieved by extinguishers,

sticking on poles:

The inside-all tea-things,

and dragons, and bells,

The show rooms-all show,

the sleeping rooms-cells.

But the grand Curiosity

's not to be seen-

The owner himself-

an old fat Mandarin;

A patron of painters

who copy designs,

That grocers and tea-dealers

hang up for signs:

Hence teaboard-taste artists

gain rewards and distinction,

Hence his title of 'Teapot'

shall last to extinction.

I saw his great chair

into which he falls-soss-

And sits, in his China Shop,

like a large Joss;

His mannikins round him,

in tea-tray array,

His pea-hens beside him,

to make him seem gay.

It is said when he sleeps

on his state Eider-down,

And thinks on his Wife,

and about half a Crown;

That he wakes from these horrible dreams in a stew;

And that, stretching his arms out,

he screams, Mrs. Q.!

He's cool'd on the M-ch-ss,

but I'm your debtor

For further particulars-

in a C letter.

You must know that he hates his own wife, to a failing;-

And it's thought, it's to shun her,

he's now gone out

SAILING.

THE ORDER FOR DAILY PRAYER THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

At the beginning of Morning and Evening Prayer the

Minister may read with a loud voice some one or more

of these Sentences of the Scriptures that follow. And

then may be said that which is written after the said

Sentences, together with other suitable portions of the

usual Service.

WHEN the righteous are in authority, the people

rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the

people mourn. Prov. xxix. 2.

By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make

the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the

arm of the mighty. Job, xxxv. 9.

If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are

wicked. Prov. xxix. 12.

The wicked walk on every side when the vilest men

are exalted. Psalm xii. 8.

They are exalted for a little while, but they are

gone and brought low: they are taken out of the way

as all other, and cut off as the tops of green corn.

Job, xxiv. 24.

A righteous man falling down before the wicked is

as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. Prov.

xxv. 26.

A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth

the wheel over them. Prov. xx. 26.

This Hymn following may be used; one Verse by the

Priest, and another by the Clerk and People.

O GIVE thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious:

and his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm cvii. 1.

Let them give thanks whom the Lord hath redeemed:

and delivered from the hand of the enemy. Verse 2.

Many a time have they fought against me from my

youth up. Psalm cxxix. 1.

Yea, many a time have they vexed me from my youth

up: but they have not prevailed against me. Verse 2.

They have privily laid their net to destroy me

without a cause: yea, even without a cause have they

made a pit for my soul. Psalm xxxv. 7.

They have laid a net for my feet, and pressed down my

soul: they have digged a pit before me, and are fallen

into the midst of it themselves. Psalm lvii. 7.

Great is our Lord, and great is his power: yea,

and his wisdom is infinite. Psalm cxlvii. 5.

The Lord setteth up the meek: and bringeth the un-

godly down to the ground. Verse 6.

Two Psalms appointed in the Book of Common Prayer

to be said on the 29th of each month throughout the year.

PSALM CXL. Eripe me, Domine..

DELIVER me, O Lord, from the evil man: and

preserve me from the wicked man.

2 Who imagine mischief in their hearts: and stir

up strife all the day long.

3 They have sharpened their tongues like a ser-

pent: adders' poison is under their lips.

4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the un-

godly: preserve me from the wicked men, who are

purposed to overthrow my goings.

5 The proud have laid a snare for me, and spread

a net abroad with cords: yea, and set traps in my

way.

6 I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: hear

the voice of my prayers, O Lord.

7 O Lord God, thou strength of my health: thou

hast covered my head in the day of battle.

8 Let not the ungodly have his desire, O Lord:

let not his mischievous imagination prosper, lest they

be too proud.

9 Let the mischief of their own lips fall upon the

head of them: that compass me about.

10 Let hot burning coals fall upon them: let them

be cast into the fire, and into the pit, that they never

rise up again.

11 A man full of words shall not prosper upon the

earth: evil shall hunt the wicked person to overthrow

him.

12 Sure I am that the Lord will avenge the poor:

and maintain the cause of the helpless.

IS The righteous also shall give thanks unto thy

Name: and the just shall continue in thy sight.

PSALM CXLI. Domine clamavi.

LORD, I call upon thee, haste thee unto me and

consider my voice when I cry unto thee.

2 Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight as the

incense: and let the lifting up of my hands be an

evening sacrifice.

3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and

keep the door of my lips.

4 O let not mine heart be inclined to any evil

thing: let me not be occupied in ungodly works with

the men that work wickedness, lest I eat of such

things as please them.

5 Let the righteous rather smite me friendly: and

reprove me.

6 But let not their precious balms break my head:

yea, I will pray yet against their wickedness.

7 Let their judges be overthrown in stony places:

that they may hear my words, for they are sweet.

8 Our bones lie scattered before the pit: like as

when one breaketh and hevveth wood upon the earth.

9 But mine eyes look unto thee, O Lord God: in

thee is my trust, O cast not out my soul.

10 Keep me from the snare that they have laid for

me: and from the traps of the wicked doers.

11 Let the ungodly fall into their own nets toge-

ther: and let me ever escape them.

The Suffrages may be as followeth.

Priest. O Lord, save the Queen.

People. Who putteth her trust in thee.

Priest. Send her help from thy holy place.

People. And evermore mightily defend her.

Priest. Let her enemies have no advantage against

her.

People. Let not the wicked approach to hurt her.

After the Collects [for Peace and Deliverance from

our Enemies] may be said that which followeth.

ALMIGHTY God and heavenly Father, who of thy

gracious providence, and tender mercy towards

us, didst prevent the malice and imaginations of our

enemies, by discovering and confounding their horrible

and wicked Enterprize, plotted and intended to have

been executed against the Queen and the whole State

of England, for the subversion of the Government

and Religion established among us; and didst like-

wise wonderfully conduct thy Servant Queen Caroline,

and bring her safely into England, and preserve us

from the attempts of our enemies to bereave us of our

religion and laws: We most humbly praise and mag-

nify thy most glorious Name for thy unspeakable

goodness towards us, expressed in both these acts of

thy mercy. Let the consideration of this thy re-

peated goodness, O Lord, work in us true repentance,

that iniquity may not be our ruin. And increase in

us more and more a lively faith and love, fruitful in

all holy obedience; that thou mayest still continue

thy favour, with the light of thy Gospel, to us and

our posterity for evermore. Amen.

Prayer.

ALMIGHTY God, who hast in all ages shewed

thy Power and Mercy in the protection of

righteous States from the wicked conspiracies, and

malicious practices of all the enemies thereof: We

yield thee our unfeigned thanks and praise, for the

wonderful and mighty deliverance of our gracious

Queen CAROLINE, by cruel treachery appointed as

a sheep to the slaughter, in a most barbarous and

savage manner, beyond the examples of former ages.

From this unnatural conspiracy, not our merit, but

thy mercy; not our foresight, but thy providence

delivered us: And therefore not unto us, O Lord,

not unto us, but unto thy Name be ascribed all

honour and glory, in all Churches of the saints, from

generation to generation. Amen.

Instead of the Prayer [In time of War and Tu-

mults] may be used this Prayer following.

ETERNAL God, and our most mighty Protector,

we thy unworthy servants do humbly present

ourselves before thy Majesty, acknowledging thy

power, wisdom, and goodness, in preserving the

Queen from the destruction intended against her.

Make us, we beseech thee, truly thankful for this,

and for all other thy great mercies towards us; par-

ticularly we bless thee for giving Her Majesty a safe

arrival here, and for making all opposition fall before

her. We beseech thee to protect and defend her

from all treasons and conspiracies; Preserve her in

thy faith, fear, and love; prosper her with long hap-

piness here on earth; and crown her with everlasting

glory hereafter. Amen.

The following may be said or sung, one Verse by the

Priest, another by the Clerk and People.

Grant the Queen a long life: and make her glad

with the joy of thy countenance. Psalm Ixi. 6. and

xxi. 6.

Let her dwell before thee for ever: O prepare thy

loving mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve her. Psalm lxi. 7.

In her time let the righteous flourish: and let peace

be in all our borders. Psalm Ixxii. 7. and cxlii. 14.

As for her enemies, clothe them with shame: but upon

herself let her crown flourish. Psalm cxxxii. 19.

Also this.

Thou art the God that hast no pleasure in wicked-

ness: neither shall any evil dwell with thee. Psalm

v. 4.

Thou wilt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord

abhors both the blood-thirsty and deceitful man. ver: 6.

O how suddenly do they consume: perish, and

come to a fearful end! Psalm lxxiii. 18.

Yea, even like as a dream, when one awaketh: so

didst thou make their image to vanish out of the city. ver. 19.

This Sentence may be read at the Offertory.

Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,

do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the

Prophets. St. Matt. vii. 12.

Also may be profitably read these Sentences.

There is a generation that are pure in their own

eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

Prov. xxx. 12.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;

that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;

that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah,

v. 20. '

Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for

ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter.

Matt, xxiii. 25.

But your inside is full of ravening and wickedness.

Luke, xi. 39.

Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!

for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men

that walk over them are not aware of them. Luke, xi. 44.

His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself,

and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

Prov. v. 22.

He shall die without instruction; and in the great-

ness of his folly he shall go astray. Prov. v. 23.

The congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate

and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

Job, xv. 34.

After the Prayer [For the whole State of Christ's

Church, &c.] this Collect following may be used.

ALMIGHTY God and heavenly Father, who, of

thine infinite and unspeakable goodness towards

us, didst in a most extraordinary and wonderful man-

ner disappoint and overthrow the wicked designs of

those traitorous, heady, and high-minded men, who,

under the pretence of Religion and thy most holy

Name, had contrived, and well-nigh effected the utter

destruction of thy Servant CAROLINE, our beloved

Queen: as we do this day most heartily and devoutly

adore and magnify thy glorious Name for this thine

infinite goodness already vouchsafed to us; so do we

most humbly beseech thee to continue thy grace and

favour towards us, that no such dismal calamity may

ever again fall upon us. Infatuate and defeat all the

secret counsels of deceitful and wicked men against

us. Abate their pride, asswage their malice, and

confound their devices. With judgment and justice

cut off all such workers of iniquity, as turn Religion

into Rebellion, and Faith into Faction; that they

may never prevail against us, nor triumph in the

ruin of the Monarchy. Protect and defend Her Ma-

jesty from all treasons and conspiracies. Be unto her

an helmet of salvation, and a strong tower of defence

against the face of all her enemies; clothe them with

shame and confusion, but let Her for ever flourish.

So we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, will

give thee thanks for ever, and will always be shewing

forth thy praise from generation to generation.-

Amen.

Or there may be sung or said this Hymn following:

one Verse by the Priest, and another by the Clerk

and people.

MY song shall be alway of the loving kindness of

the Lord: with my mouth will I ever be shew-

ing forth his truth from one generation to another.

Psalm lxxxix. 1.

The merciful and gracious Lord hath so done his

marvellous works: that they ought to be had in remem-

brance. Psalm cxi. 4.

Who can express the noble acts of the Lord: or

shew forth all his praise? Psalm cvi. 2.

The works of the Lord are great: sought out of all

them that have pleasure therein. Psalm cxi. 2.

The Lord setteth up the meek: and bringeth the

nngodly down to the ground. Psalm cxlvii. 6.

The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment: for

all them that are oppressed with wrong. Psalm ciii. 6.

This Collect may likewise be used.

O ALMIGHTY God, who art a strong tower of

defence unto thy servants against the face of

their enemies; We yield thee praise and thanksgiving

for the wonderful deliverance of these kingdoms from

the GREAT CONSPIRACY, and all the Miseries

and Oppressions consequent thereupon. We acknow-

ledge it thy goodness, that we are not utterly deli-

vered over as a prey unto our enemies; beseeching

thee still to continue such thy mercy towards us, that

all the world may know that thou art our Saviour and

mighty deliverer. Amen.

After the Prayer for the King, the Priest may say

thus.

Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all

the days of thy vanity, which he hath given thee

under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is

thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou

takest under the sun. Eccl. ix. 9.

So ought men to love their wives as their own

bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself. Eph. v. 28.

Let every one of you in particular so love his wife

even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence

her husband. Eph. v. 33.

It hath been said, whoever shall put away his wife,

let him give her a writing of divorcement:

But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away

his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth

her to commit adultery. Matt. v. 31,32.

The Collect for God's protection of the Queen against

all her enemies.

MOST gracious God, we most humbly beseech

thee to protect thy Servant CAROLINE, our

beloved Queen, from all the dangers to which she may

be exposed; Hide her from the gathering together

of the froward, and from the insurrection of wicked

doers; Do thou weaken the hands, blast the designs,

and defeat the enterprizes of all her enemies; that no

secret conspiracies, nor open violences, may disquiet

her; but that, being safely kept under the shadow of

thy wing, and supported by thy power, she may tri-

umph over all opposition; that so the world may

acknowledge thee to be her Defender and mighty.

Deliverer in all difficulties and adversities. Amen.

This may also be said.

LORD God of our salvation, who hast been ex-

ceedingly gracious unto this land, and by thy

miraculous providence didst deliver us out of our

miserable confusion; by restoring to us, and to her

own just and undoubted rights, our most gracious

Queen CAROLINE, notwithstanding all the power

and malice of her enemies; and to the great comfort

and joy of our hearts: We are here now before thee,

with all due thankfulness, to acknowledge thine un-

speakable goodness herein, and to offer unto thee our"

sacrifice of praise for the same; we beseech thee to

bless the Queen with all increase of grace, honour

and happiness, in this world, and to crown her with

immortality and glory in the world to come. Amen.
