The
Humble
Address
of
the
Presbyterians
,
Presented
to
the
KING
.
May
it
please
Your
most
Sacred
Maj●sty
,
TO
believe
the
Thankfulness
of
our
Hearts
,
beyond
any
Expressions
of
our
Lips
or
Pens
,
for
Your
most
Gracious
Declaration
for
Liberty
for
us
,
in
the
Worship
of
God
,
which
we
trust
we
shall
ever
value
above
our
Property
,
as
that
without
which
we
could
enjoy
nothing
which
we
could
call
our
own
,
without
the
greatest
uneasiness
imaginable
:
But
Your
Majesty
having
in
the
same
Declaration
also
secured
that
unto
us
,
both
by
Your
Royal
Word
and
Act
:
What
could
Your
Majesty
have
done
more
for
us
?
Or
what
is
left
for
us
further
to
ask
of
the
King
?
And
forasmuch
as
it
hath
pleased
Your
most
Excellent
Majesty
,
to
give
this
safe
Port
to
Your
poor
Subjects
,
so
long
tossed
with
Tempests
,
and
justly
to
believe
,
that
Loyalty
is
not
intailed
to
a
Party
,
as
we
hope
we
shall
ever
justifie
the
Credit
,
which
Your
Majesties
Charity
in
that
point
hath
given
us
;
So
we
shall
not
cease
to
bow
our
Knees
to
the
God
whom
we
serve
,
and
by
whom
Kings
Reign
,
beseech●ng
him
to
recompense
this
Royal
Favour
to
Your
Majesty
,
with
length
of
days
,
uninterrupted
Health
,
Felicity
in
Your
Royal
Relations
,
Success
in
Your
Great
Councils
and
Affairs
,
and
finally
,
with
the
most
Glorious
Liberty
of
the
Sons
of
God
,
heartily
crying
,
as
with
one
Voice
,
Let
the
King
live
for
ever
.
Subscribed
on
the
Behalf
of
our selves
,
and
the
rest
of
our
Persuasion
.
THE
Kings
Answer
.
Gentlemen
,
I
Have
already
found
two
good
Effects
of
my
Declaration
;
the
Easing
and
,
Pleasing
My
Subjects
You
spake
of
,
and
My
restoring
to
God
the
Empire
over
Conscience
:
It
has
been
my
Iudgment
a
long
time
,
that
none
Has
or
ought
to
Have
any
power
over
the
Conscience
but
God
.
I
understand
there
are
some
Iealousies
among
my
Subjects
,
That
I
have
done
this
in
a
Design
:
But
you
look
like
Gentlemen
of
too
great
Ingenuity
to
entertain
any
such
Suspition
.
Gentlemen
,
I
protest
before
God
,
and
I
desire
you
to
tell
all
manner
of
People
of
all
Persuasions
,
as
you
have
opportunity
to
Converse
with
them
,
that
I
have
no
other
Design
than
that
I
have
spoke
of
.
And
Gentlemen
,
I
hope
to
live
to
see
the
Day
when
you
shall
as
well
have
Magna
Charta
for
the
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
as
you
have
had
for
your
Properties
.
And
now
Gentlemen
,
do
You
so
Preach
to
Your
Hearers
as
they
may
be
good
Christians
,
and
then
I
do
not
question
but
they
will
be
good
Subjects
.
FINIS
.
