The Knowledge of Us may

be of some Use to YOUR MAJESTY's Service, and may mi∣nister to some of those Great Ends of Provi∣dence for which God has rais'd You up, and which are one day to be wrought by Your Means.

now wears, we have been noted for Our Fi∣delity to Our KINGS. We Glory not in the Extent or Riches of Our Country, which can∣not be brought into Parallel with the mean∣est of those Provinces that constitute Your Great Empire; but we Glory in Our Loyalty, which we have kept unblemish'd to this Day.

is the hearty Prayer of,
May it please YOUR MAJESTY,
YOUR MAJESTY's Most humble and most faithful Subject and Servant, Philip Falle.
