THE Church & Crown 's Felicity CONSUMATED : OR , Englands Happiness Compleat , IN THE JOYFUL RECEPTION OF THE Princess of Orange .

THe wondrous Happiness , that England once reap'd , from the Uniting of the Red and White Rose , in the Marriage of Henry the 7th , to the establishing the Peace of the Kingdom , by Reconciling the Bloody Wars between the House of York and Lancaster , are Blessings infinitely inferiour to the larger Portion of National Happiness we are destind to enjoy , in the Illustrious Prince and Princess of Orange's Accession to the the Imperial Crown of England . For in the Former Union , the Fewds of two Corrival Families were only appeased ; but in the Present more Glorious Union , we have that Great work , which Ages have been labouring for , Compleatly finisht and perfected . viz. In that unshaken and lasting Foundation of our Religion and Liberty ( the nearest and dearest concern of mankind , ) so firmly laid , that the power of Rome , and Gates of Hell it self , shall never prevaile against them . And more and above the security , Peace , and Happiness of the People so intirely consumated , we have likewise the Glory of the Nation exalted above all the former Grandure of preceding Ages ; that is in the unity of all Hearts , to strengthen the Royal Arm ; and 2dly , by Rivetting the English and Dutch Interest , Our Naval walls , and Maritime Strength , will soon render Us the Terrour of the World , and make Us once more the Arbiters of Europe , A Title which our long frenchify'd Interest , and Alliance before , had so meanly and ignobly lost Us , by giving up the Reins to the insatiate Ambition of that wild Ravager of the Christian World , and plague of all Europe , the French Tyrant .

There onely wanted this Blessed Day to perpetuate the Security of the Protestant Religion and the Liberties of England . And to our no little Satisfaction , and Delight the welcome Tidings of her Arrival is our only remaining Felicity .

Accordingly the Guns of the Towre , and the General Ringing of Bells , have already proclaimed Our Universal Joys : and the whole Court , the more immediate sharer of so Divine a Blessing , is fill'd with the Highest Transports suitable to Her Royal Reception .
