1688 After the trial of the Seven Bishops the people determined to depose James.

An invitation was sent to Holland to William Prince of Orange, grandson of Charles I., husband of Mary, daughter of James I., and the next heir to the throne. Both were Protestants. William landed at Torbay, and marched to London. A convention parliament was called.

This assembly declared the throne vacant, and offered the crown to William and Mary. They accepted it, declaring their intention to rule justly, and according to the laws. This declaration was called the DECLARATION OF RIGHTS,

This completed the Revolution, and ended the struggle between the king and the people, which had lasted more than 80 years, and firmly established constitutional liberty. James in the meantime fled to France, and found a home with Louis XIV., at St. Germain.

WISDOM.

Perfect wisdom hath four parts, viz.: wisdom, the principle of doing aright; justice, the principle of doing things equally in public and in private; fortitude, the principle of not flying danger, but meeting it; and temperance, the principle of subduing desires, and living moderately. -Plato.

The first point of wisdom is to discern that which is false; the second to know that which is true.-Lactantius.

Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life-in a firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a colour.-Seneca.

The greatest height of wisdom is to do those things living which are to be desired when dying.—Jeremy Taylor.
