to Offer up praises on accoant or the victo

tain the independence of our throne, and
the inviolability of our rights. We shall
preserve the great work of the res,orati-

municate to its Ministers that respectable

listen to their voice in all that concerns
spiritual matters and affairs of onscience."
SO We shall not be drawn aside from the
great end which we strive to attain, and in
which we have succeeded in part-zzshe res.
toration of the affairs of our divine worship !;
nor suffer ourselves to be persuaded that
these principles, as Greeks, English Pro.

ough to remove such errors far from u.s..
Our subjects entertain no such fear"
