<L><HI>_PErmit,</HI> Great Sir, <HI>in this our double day</HI></L>
<L><HI>Of joy, we tell the World what wonders may,</HI></L>
<L><HI>And ought, your Subjects from all Plots deterr</HI></L>
<L><HI>For future times: Since (pardon</HI> Sir) <HI>you were</HI></L>
<L>1 <HI>Foretold by</HI> Wonder, <HI>and with</HI> Wonder <HI>borne;</HI> 2</L>
<L>3 <HI>E&s;cap'd by</HI> Wonders, Wonderous <HI>forelorne,</HI> 4</L>
<L>5 <HI>Re&s;tor'd by</HI> Wonder, <HI>and with</HI> Wonder <HI>Crown'd,</HI> 6</L>
<L><HI>From Plots and Machines &s;till with</HI> Wonder <HI>found</HI></L>
<L><HI>Pre&s;erv'd, and &s;av'd; that it for</HI> Wonder <HI>goes;</HI></L>
<L><HI>Heavens kindne&s;s, or the malice of your foes,</HI></L>
</LG>

<L><HI>Which greater is: for if their working Pates</HI></L>
<L><HI>Plod</HI> Wonderfully <HI>deep, the Happier Fates</HI></L>
<L><HI>With fre&s;her</HI> Wonders <HI>&s;till</HI> Th' Anointed <HI>&s;aves:</HI></L>
<L><HI>While Rebells gaine but their untimely graves.</HI></L>
<L><HI>Since nothing then but</HI> Wonders <HI>now can teach</HI></L>
<L>Some <HI>Loyaltie, may the&s;e few</HI> Wonders <HI>preach</HI></L>
<L>Them <HI>to their duty; while all good men &s;ings</HI></L>
<L><HI>You,</HI> King of Wonders, Wonder unto Kings.</L>

<P N="1">1 In that &AElig;nigmatick Prophe&s;ie concerning the Po&s;terity of K. <HI>Henrie</HI> VII. their &s;ucceeding to the Crown of <HI>England,</HI> 
<Q><L><HI>Vir, Puer, Alecto, Virgo, Vulpes, Leo,</HI> Nullus</L></Q>
but too Politickly made u&s;e of in the late troubles as a Stalking-hor&s;e for a Republick, and more Hel|li&s;hly cajol'd by <HI>Oliver</HI> for a <HI>Wel&s;h Noll,</HI> and which was yet miraculou&s;ly at once fulfilled and eleided by that Ditton upon his Maje&s;ties Birth-pieces, large&s;&s;ed at the Bapti&s;me; <HI>Hactenus Anglorum</HI> Nullus.</P>
<P N="2">2 As appear'd by the miraculous Star at his Birth not only &s;een over <HI>London</HI> by thou&s;ands betwixt twelve and one in a bright day the 29 of <HI>May,</HI> but &s;eriou&s;ly ob&s;erv'd by his Father as he rode to S^^t. <HI>Pauls</HI> to give thanks; and que&s;tionle&s;&s;e the a&s;pect heightned the devotions of that pious King for &s;uch a Son, and let us beleeve the ble&s;&s;ings come accordingly.</P>
<P N="3">3 From <HI>Worce&s;ter,</HI> 50 &s;everal Per&s;ons (whereof &s;ome Men &s;ome Women) being privie to it, and yet no di&s;covery made of him, notwith&s;tanding of the propo&s;ed rewards, a&s;&s;ured threats, narrow &s;earches, and &s;ecuring of all the Ports, which wrung from the U&s;urper him&s;elf (upon the Hearing he had got over Seas) this Prophetick confe&s;&s;ion, <HI>That God had pre&s;erved him for &s;ome &s;trange thing to thir Lands.</HI></P>
<P N="4">4 As is ea&s;ily evinced from the many &s;ad and dark pa&s;&s;ages of his 9 years exile.</P>
<P N="5">5 In a Re&s;tauration not to be parallelled in all its circum&s;tances: ardently wi&s;h'd for by the free Genius of three Nations, who alas had too deeply ingadged them&s;elves not to receive their Lawful Monarch but upon limited conditions, brought home (without the barking of a Dog) by ane Armie which was unfortunatly but too Victorious again&s;t him. Yea &s;uch a Re&s;tauration was it, that upon an accompt thereof to the Turk, 'tis reported the <HI>Grand Seigneour</HI> uttered this expre&s;&s;ion: <HI>That if it were Law|full for him to change the Religion of his Fathers, he would choo&s;e that of the King of Britans, who&s;e God and great Prophet had perform'd &s;o miraculous things for him.</HI></P>
<P N="6">6 In the great and ob&s;ervable thunder and lightning at his Coronation, the very Heavens as it &s;eems (to witne&s;s him the anointed of the Lord in all things) being willing to di&s;charge their Artillery at &s;o joyful and Sacred a &s;olemnity.</P>
