extraordinary charges caused her to demaund Her Proclamations were as strong as enacted lawes and her Priuate letters as forceable as Publike proclamations Seuenthly the world was so quiet in her time as England for 45. yeeres neuer knew by feeling what belonged to the warres And now her winding vp was in so quiet a season as not onely her owne kingdomes were in a generall peace but all the countries of Christiandome in a calme vnity and concord O quam te memorem virgo Then to descend from her owne personall Prosperitie and to speake of that happinesse which we enioyed by her gouernment
