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_. {065} _Versicles._ As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so ho- nour is not seemly for a fool. _Prov._ xxvi. 1.
