The evening concluded with illuminations and other publick
demonstrations of joy. Rejoyce ye Citizens, and be glad in
it! Now you may joyn in the anthem, Blessed be the Lord God
of Israel, for he hath visited and redeemed his people; and
let such who before were fond of displaying themselves in
gilded motto's now think upon that one of their own.
