Of the Force and Efficacy of Prayer.

HEaven is God's Throne, and Earth his Foot∣stool is, To that on wings of Prayer, Souls fly from this, Where they almost Omnipotent become By being joyn'd to the Almighty's Throne, To this height (Madam) from your Infancy Your Majesty by Prayer was taught to fly, In Company of those, to whom 'tis given To have their Conversation in Heaven, Where those stupendious Miracles are wrought Surpass all human force and human thought, And if Heaven suffer violence, from whence But only Prayer, proceeds this violence?
Ther's nothing then that England may despair To obtain of Heaven by Katherina's Prayer, Let us have faith in her, but to confide, And she ha's faith enough for all beside.
