Of

of

GRACE
THE
D.
of
Monmouth
,
BY
The
CITIZENS
of
the
CIT
CHICHESTER
,
On
the
15
of
this
instant
February
.
In
a
Letter
to
a
Person
of
Quality
in
London
.
SIR
,
GREAT
was
the
Joy
of
most
persons
in
and
about
this
city
,
when
they
heard
that
his
Grace
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
was
safe
,
after
their
knowledge
of
the
most
horrid
and
bloody
Assassination
of
the
Noble
and
Worthy
Gentleman
Mr.
Thynn
.
who
was
the
Duke's
known
Friend
,
and
with
whom
we
heard
his
Grace
had
been
in
the
same
Coach
not
long
before
;
but
our
Joy
was
much
increased
when
we
saw
his
Grace
safe
,
and
that
he
did
us
the
Honour
of
a
Visit
:
For
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
came
yesterday
to
this
City
,
where
his
Reception
was
so
very
great
,
and
exceeding
all
that
ever
he
had
here
before
:
That
if
their
Loyalty
to
his
Majesty
may
be
measured
by
their
Honour
and
Affection
to
his
Son
,
no
City
in
the
Kingdom
more
justly
deserves
the
name
of
LOYAL
than
this
.
His
Grace
was
met
with
a
Body
of
above
five
hundred
Horse
,
and
at
the
Gates
received
by
above
two
hundred
Youths
very
handsomly
clad
in
White
,
who
waited
on
him
in
excellent
Order
to
his
Lodgings
,
through
the
Throngs
and
Crowds
of
People
,
filling
all
the
Remainder
of
the
Streets
,
who
by
their
loud
and
uncessant
Acclamations
,
accompanied
with
Bells
,
Bonfires
,
and
every
thing
Customary
on
such
solemn
Occasions
,
shewed
the
high
Content
and
Pleasure
they
take
in
a
Protestant
Prince
,
every
one
expressing
in
a
more
than
Ordinary
manner
what
Joy
they
had
Conceived
in
seeing
his
Grace
among
them
,
after
the
danger
they
believed
he
might
have
been
in
:
Praying
to
God
to
preserve
him
from
all
Bloody
Machinations
of
his
Enemies
:
This
Sir
,
I
thought
good
to
send
you
notice
of
,
being
Honored
Sir
,
Feb.
16
1681.
Yours
,
