(Looking up to Heaven in a praying posture for a small space, says:) Had I but known you was resolv'd on War, And War against those Heretics the English, I need not to have ask'd a God or Saint To signify the Import of your Dream. Your great Design shall have a prosperous End, 'Tis by the Gods approv'd, and must succeed. Angels and Saints are dancing now in Heaven: Your Enemies are theirs, are hated by them, And they'll protect and help you as their Champion, [ (Aside.) That fights their Battles, and defends their Cause. Our great St. Peter is himself a Warrior; He drew his Sword against such Infidels, And now, like him, you'll gain immortal Honour, And Gods in Heaven and Saints on Earth will praise you.
