ΒΆ A Thanksgiving and Prayer for the safe Childbearing of the Queen's MAJESTY. O Eternal God and merciful Father, since lineal Succession is under thee the great security of Kingdoms, and the very life of peace: We therefore give thee most humble and hearty thanks, for the great blessing which thou hast begun to work for our Royal King Charles, and this whole State, in giving the Queen's Majesty second hopes of a long desired Issue. And as we give thee hearty and bounden thanks for this; so we humbly pray thee to perfect this great blessing thus begun, to preserve her from all dangers, and to be with her by special assistance in the hour of Travel. Lord make her a happy Mother of successful Children, to the increase of thy Glory, the comfort of his Majesty, the joy of her own heart, the safety of the State, and the preservation of the Church and true Religion amongst us. Grant this even for jesus Christ his sake, our only Saviour and Redeemer, Amen. LONDON. Printed by Robert Barker and john Bill, Printers to the Kings most Excellent Majesty. M. D.C.xxix.
