If so it happen, it will more endear
This Name of George, than Dick, or Oliver;
Yea, more than all their Names, who lately lost
That honour, which they purchas'd at our cost,
And left us in those hazards, from whence, none
Now can deliver us, but, GOD alone
By his own Arm, or else by an advance
Of one design'd for our deliverance,
And qualifi'd by his especial grace,
To be a Guardian Angel for this place.
