Thus to GOD, I, with my fellow mates, give most heartyprayers and thanks for our safe deliverance from so imminentdangers as we have been in, since our departure from theCourt at Greenwich : being still defended by the mighty andhandy work of Almighty GOD. To whom, we, in allobedience and duty, daily pray for the prosperous health ofHer Majesty and her honourable Council, whose lives and wel-fare are the strength and maintenance of this land; andwhom Almighty GOD prosper and preserve, now and ever !Amen.
