U' Question your Excellency will surmount eyery Difficulty with Honour and Safety. Her Majesty's Reign will make a bright Leaf in 'History; and, as 'tis the Advantage of the pre'sent, fo 'twill be the Admiration of future Ages; not more for her Successes abroad, than her Pria 'dence at home: And tho' our Distance has been, ' and may sometimes be disadvantageous to us, yet * we experience the Effect of her Princely Care, in putting an End to the worst Administration NewJersey ever knew, by fending your Excellency, whose Administration must always be easy to her Majesty's Subjects here, and satisfactory to your felf, whilft you follow so great and to good an Example. .., We have no Animosities with one another, but firmly agree to do our felves and Country Justice; and perswade our felves none that deserves publick Censure will have Share in your Excellency's Esteem; but that we shall meet with a hearty Concurrence from you in all those Measures that conduce to our Peace and Satisfaction.

We do assure your Excellency, all your reason able Desires, shall be Commands to us, and that we will study to make your Excellency's Admi nistration as easy and happy as we can to your Excellency and our selves. Numb. Numb. XXVI. , The following PRAYER having been prin: ted in several Languages, as made and used by Prince EUGENE, we thought fit to insert it in this Colle&tion; tho we cannot affirm it to be genuine. However, if that Prince be the Author of it, all maji own he knows as well how to pray, as he knows how to fight. It is i My God, I believe in theg, do thou strengtherr me; I hope in thee, do thou confirmy my Hope; I love thee, vouchsafe to redouble my Love. : I am sorry for my Sinş. O, do thou increase my Repentance; I adore thee, as my first Principle; I desire thee as my laft End; I thank : thee as my perpetual Benefactor; and I call uporr thee, as my fupreme Defender. ..
