unspeakable grief of all his Subjects that wish'd well to their
Native Country.

This was the melancholly Account of this great Prince's end, and I
have been told that at once every Year, there is a kind of Fast, or
solemn Commemoration kept up for the Murther of that former Prince,
who, as I noted, was Beheaded by his Subjects; So it seems some of
the People, who are of Opinion this Prince was Murther'd by the ill
Treatment of his Friends, a way which I must own, is the cruellest of
Deaths, keep the same Day, to commemorate his Death, and this is a
Day, in which it seems both Parties are very free with one another,
as to Rallery and ill Language.

But the Friends of this last Prince have a double advantage, for they
also commemorate the Birth Day of this Prince, and are generally very
merry on that Day; and the custom is at their Feast on that Day, just
like our drinking Healths, they pledge one another to the immortal
Memory of their Deliverer; as the Historical part of this Matter was
absolutely necessary to introduce the following Remarks, and to
instruct the Ignorant in those things, I hope it shall not be thought
a barren Digression, especially when I shall tell you that it is a
most exact Representation of what is yet to come in a Scene of
Affairs, of which I must make a short Abstract, by way of
Introduction.

The deceas'd Prince we have heard of, was succeeded by his Sister
in-Law, the second Daughter of the banish'd Prince, a Lady of an
extraordinary Character, of the Old Race of their Kings, a Native by
Birth, a Solunarian by Profession; exceeding Pious, Just and Good, of
an Honesty peculiar to her self, and for which she was justly belov'd
