Numerus infaustus a short view of the unfortunate reigns of William the Second, Henry the Second, Edward the Second, Richard the Second, Charles the Second, James the Second.

The Conclusion.

Thus you have a breif Epitome of the unfortunate Reigns of Six of the English Monarchs. Of Which the First Broke his Neck; The next Broke his Heart; And every one of them Broke his Vows to God, and his Pro∣mises to his Subjects. The First of them came to an untimely End; The second died with Trouble of Mind; The two next were deposed from Government, and violently put to Death. The next died suddenly, to say no more of it; and the last dethroned himself, lives miserably, and in all human pro∣bability will not die happliy. One

of them was struck to the heart by an Arrow; another by Greif; two perish'd by the Hands of cruel men; The next died of an Apoplexy; I guess the Fate of the last, but I will not take upon me to prophesie.

I wish, all those who desire to be call'd Protestants, would understand their own happiness (and joyfully and thankfully acknowledg it) to live un∣der a Protestant King, and a Prote∣stant Queen (a Blessing rare in these Kingdoms, and not known for many years past) God grant them a long and prosperous Reign, attended with all the Instances of Glory and Felici∣ty; that under their auspicious Influ∣ence true Religion may flourish, and detestable Popery may for ever be banish'd out of their Dominions.
