Inscription: inscription : printed : lower centre inside plate mark & recto : : The Dean still pressing her to change her Religion and pray with him My Lord, / said she, if you will pray with me I shall thank you with all my Heart, but it would / be unlawfull in me to join with you who are of a different Religion. The Dean however / was ordered by the Lords to pray. In the mean while her Majesty turning from the / Lords, fell on her knees and prayed aloud in Latin, repeating the Penitential Psalm with / great warmth of devotion, and lifting up the crucifix desired all Saints to make intercession for her to the saviour of the world. Published as the Act directs April 20, 1790, by T. Monzani, No. 1 Duke Street, Grosvenor Square. //
