THE ADDRESS OF THE Nonconformist Ministers ( In and about the City of LONDON ) TO HIS HIGHNESS THE Prince of ORANGE .

WEdnesday , January 2. divers of the Dissenting Ministers in and about London , that go under the Denominations of Presbyterial and Congregational , to the Number of Ninety , or upwards , attended his Highness the Prince of Orange at St. James's , being introduced by the Earl of Devonshire , the Lord Wharton , and the Lord Wiltshire . Their Sense was represented by one of those Ministers to this effect , viz.

That they professed their grateful Sense of his Highness's Hazardous and Heroical Expedition , which the Favour of Heaven had made so surprizingly Prosperous , &c.

That they esteemed it a common Felicity , that the worthy Patriots of the Nobility and Gentry of this Kingdom , had unanimously concurred unto his Highness's Design ; by whose most prudent Advice , the Administration of Publick Affairs was devolved in this difficult Conjuncture , into Hands which the Nation and World knew to be Apt for the greatest Undertakings , and so suitable to the present Exigency of our Case .

That they promised the utmost Endeavour , which in their Stations they are capable of affording , for the promoting the excellent and most desirable Ends , for which his Highness had declared .

That they added their continual fervent Prayers to the Almighty , for the Preservation of his Highness's Person , and the success of his future Endeavours for the Defence and Propagation of the Protestant Interest throughout the Christian World .

That they should all most willingly have chosen That for the Season of paying this Duty to his Highness , when the Lord Bishop , and the Clergy of London attended his Highness for the like purpose , ( which some of them did , and which his Lordship was pleased condescendingly to make mention of to his Highness ) had their notice of that intended Application been so early , as to make their more general Attendance possible to them at that time .

That therefore tho they did now appear in a distinct Company , they did it not on a distinct Account , but on that only which is common to them and to all Protestants .

That tho there were some of Eminent Note , whom Age or present Infirmities hindred from coming with them , yet they concurred in the same grateful Sense of our common Deliverance .

His Highness was pleased very favourably to receive this Application , and to assure them , That he came purposely for the Defence of the Protestant Religion ; and that it was his own Religion , wherein he was Born and Bred , the Religion of his Country , and of his Ancestors ; That he was resolv'd by the Grace of God always to adhere to it , and to do his utmost Endeavours for the Defence of it , and the promoting a firm Vnion among all Protestants .
