GREAT And Good NEWS to the CHURCH OF ENGLAND: Being the Exact NUMBERS of CHURCH-MEN, DISSENTERS, And ROMANS, In ENGLAND And WALES;

☞Note, Here follows Four most Remarkable Providences, Worthy the Consideration of every true Son of the Church of England, which import that God Almighty of His infinite Wisdom and Goodness has frequently given his People peculiar Tokens to distinguish Good from Evil; more especially in disposing Matters so Agreeable to the Lessons, Epistles, and Colects for these following Days which have been Attended with such Extraordinary Circumstances:

That on the 30th of January, when King Charles I. of Blessed Memory, was Murthered, the Lesson appointed by the Church to be Read on that Fatal Day, is the 27th Chapter of St. Matthew.

That it was on the 8th day of June, That the Bishops were Com∣mitted to the Tower; immediately they went to Evening Service to the Chappel. The Second Lesson for the Day, Appointed by the Church, is the 6th Chapter of the 11 Epistle to the Corinthians.

That it was upon the 29th of June, St. Peter's Day, that they were Delivered; They went immediately to White-Hall Chappel, the same Morning, to Return Thanks, Where the Epistle for the Day was Read, in the 12th Chap. of the Acts, from Verse the 1st. to the 12th.

When Oliver the Ʋsurper died, which was on the 3 of September, 1658. The Lesson appointed by the Church for that Day, is the 14th Chapter of Isaiah, from Verse 5. to 21.
