high and most excellent monarch, our fovereign lord George the IIId, now, by the grace of God, king of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, defender of the faith, and fovereign of the most noble order of the garter, duke of Brunswick and Lunenburgh, arch-treafurer and elector of the holy Roman empire. GOD fave king GEORGE the Third.

The following Anthem, compofed by Dr. William Boyce, master of his majefty's band of musicians, was performed at the funeral.

The fouls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there fhall no torment touch them.

In the fight of the unwife, they feem to die, but they are in peace. For though they be punished in

the fight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.

The hope of the ungodly is like the fmoke driven with the wind, and paffeth away like a shadow.

But the righteous live for evermore.

Now are they numbered among the faints, and their lot is among the children of men.

They fhall receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand.

As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them as burnt-offerings.

They fhall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord fhall reign for ever.

They fhall be our guide unto death.
