FN 559 Monthly Mercury for January 1695.  An orator who pronounced an eulogium on the Queen at Utrecht was so absurd as to say that she spent her last breath in prayers for the prosperity of the United Provinces:—­“Valeant et Batavi;”—­these are her last words—­“sint incolumes; sint florentes; sint beati; stet in sternum, stet immota praeclarissima illorum civitas hospitium aliquando mihi gratissimum, optime de me meritum.”  See also the orations of Peter Francius of Amsterdam, and of John Ortwinius of Delft.
