God Almighty grant Your Majesty long and prosperously to Reign over us, that this Land, the Church and Kingdom may flourish and grow great again, as in those happy days of that Glorious Martyr Your Royal Father, and Your Grandfather of ever Blessed Memory: And that you may vanquish and overcome all Your Enemies, these are, and ever shall be the daily Prayers and the faithful Endeavours of Your MAJESTY'S most humble And most dutiful Subjects John Strode Sheriff.
