Territories who hearing the Story of the Stupendious Miracle of restoring the King of England to his People and the Protestant Religion to the Nation even the sudden Redemption from Banishment and returning the Captivity of Church and People in peace in the midst of Armies without bloodshed was startled into an Amazement and holy Rapture and in the high Transport passionately cryed out Oh had I the happiness to be acquainted with that blessed Prince His Religion should be my Religion His God should be my God It is no new thing that Miracles have Converted Nations but 't is a strange thing that there should be so stupid and benummed a Generation of Men in any Nation whom Miracles move not even this wondring of the Mahumetan like Nebuchadnezzar Dan. 3.29 There is no other God can deliver after this sort in a holy Reverence to this power of the Almighty and work of his Mercy is a kind of Adoration of the God of the Protestants of England and as much as in him lies an embracing of the Faith in his Heart Can then any Christian of England forget these Magnalia Caeli or forsake that Faith Doctrine Worship and Discipline which not the Arm of Flesh but the Might of Providence hath so amazingly Replanted and Sceptred in this Land and be good This Profession of the Church of England is apparently owned by God himself to be his own Church for lately taking of his Rod of Correction and in his good time ceasing Chastising his People whom he for their sins had afflicted he dissipated all Sects from Government and every Religion from Establishment but that which he call'd back from Captivity which he Redeemed from Thraldom to Liberty and to him who continued his Faith he restored his Kingdoms for the sake of the Church he re-Inthron'd the King in his Rights and for the sake of the King he re-Established the Church Oh the Majesty and Divinity of Kings whose Government is Ordained by God himself By me Kings Reign c.

And who can stretch forth his Hand against the Lords Anointed and be guiltless 1 Sam. 26.9 Every mans right the property of every English Man is preserved to him by the Law per Magnum Chartam Anglia so the Right of Kings is conveyed and confirmed to them by the great Charter of Heaven an indelible Law greater than that of the Medes and Persians that no man may presume to attempt to alter Kings have their Titles from above and hold their Kingdoms under God for all Kingdoms are his and not the Peoples He establishes Thrones and Kingdoms for ever 1 Chron. 28.4 5. and Chap. 29. v. 23.2 Sam. 7.13 Psal 89.
