passing so far upon your royal higlhness'
time and attention, and most humbly hope,

That the Almighty may be pleased to
continue that signal success and prospe-

your royal highness, to the reins of admi-

your royal highness' counsels — events
which future historians will delight to con-
template, and to transmit the fame thereof
to latest posterity, is the most humble and
fervent prayer of, may it please your royal
highness, your royal highness' most humble,
most obedient, and most faithful subject
and servant,
