TO THE 



QUEEN. 



Madam, 



I Account it more aBdy thm^Frsfumption, to appear 

 to Tour Majefty, though with fuch a Trifle as the fol- 

 lowing Book i and therefore chofe to break through 

 that Difficuhj.Tather than to be guilty of fuch a Fault, 

 of letting flip any Opportunity in which I might let 

 Xoar Majefy know, with wh^t SiFrofmdRefpe^ I approach 

 Tour Great Prefence. 



Our Grea Ifland, which ever fince the Memory of Man, 

 has been divided into two difl:in6t Kingdoms, of difl:erent 

 'Names, Powers, Governments, Keligms, Cujloms, AfecUons and 

 Interefls, your Majefty has United and Made one. It was 

 what your Great and Royal Anceftors, with all their 

 Power and Induftry, were never able to perform : But 

 it was a Work, the Honour of which, the Supreme Powers re* 

 ferv'd for Tou. This UNION o£ the Britifi Nations, was an 

 Undertaking fo Great in its Performance, fo No^k in its Kind, 

 fo Admiratk in its Effe^s, fo DefiraHe in its Good, ib Singular 

 in its Appearances, and fo Profound in its StruBure ; that none 

 could have been able to have done it, but a Great nefs of Mind 

 like Tours: One of a Superlative Prudence and Refolution, of 

 an Unwearied Induftry, of an Unmatchahle andUnJhaken Zeal for 

 the PuUick Gffod; of a Magnanimous Soul, Infpird with the 

 Holy Spirit of the Immortal G O D. 



You have Madam by this UNION, iliut up the BachDoor, 



by which Great Britain was always liable to be Aflaulted i 



and thereby have added a Jewel more k the Imperial Crom ; 



and Adorn'd it with an I/lufiration, the Greateit and maft 



deflrable
