States

,

1688
.
AFter
having
heard
the
Report
of
the
Sieurs
de
Heeckeren
,
and
the
other
Deputies
of
their
Lordships
for
Forreign
Affairs
,
who
in
order
to
the
performing
their
Resolution
of
the
11th
of
this
Month
,
have
seen
and
examined
the
Memorial
of
which
the
Marquis
d'Albeville
,
Envoy
Extraordinary
of
His
Majesty
of
Great
Brittain
,
had
presented
unto
them
the
8th
of
the
last
Month
,
and
on
the
6th
of
this
instant
,
mentioned
more
at
large
in
the
Acts
of
the
said
Day
,
and
having
thereupon
maturely
deliberated
,
their
Lordships
have
thought
sit
,
and
resolved
to
return
in
Answer
to
the
said
Marquis
d'Albeville
,
That
their
Lordships
having
seen
the
Declaration
,
which
the
French
Ambassador
had
made
them
as
well
by
Word
of
Mouth
,
as
in
Writing
in
a
Publick
Audience
,
the
9th
of
September
last
,
That
His
Most
Christian
Majesty
had
the
strictest
Engagements
of
Friendship
and
Alliance
with
His
Majesty
of
Great
Brittain
,
as
is
express'd
in
the
said
Declaration
,
their
Lordships
do
believe
they
have
reason
to
demand
a
more
plain
and
clear
Explanation
of
the
matter
in
Terms
more
agreeable
and
civil
.
And
since
it
has
pleas'd
His
Majesty
of
Great
Brittain
,
most
seriously
to
disclaim
them
,
(
as
prejudicial
to
this
State
)
they
do
declare
,
That
they
neither
have
had
,
nor
have
any
Intention
to
enter
into
a
War
with
His
Majesty
,
or
with
the
English
Nation
,
for
whom
they
have
the
most
dear
Regard
;
and
that
there
is
no
People
with
whom
they
more
heartily
desire
to
live
in
a
cordial
and
sincere
Friendship
with
,
than
with
His
Majesty
and
the
said
Nation
.
That
with
the
greatest
Regret
they
have
seen
and
observed
,
how
those
who
envy
such
their
Happiness
,
have
endeavoured
to
excite
in
His
Majesty
great
Discontents
towards
this
State
,
and
to
give
him
publick
Marks
of
it
,
such
their
Malice
;
because
they
see
,
to
their
great
Grief
,
the
Discontents
which
the
irregular
Conduct
of
some
Men
have
given
to
the
Nation
,
as
well
in
regard
of
the
Reformed
Religion
,
as
of
the
Liberty
and
Security
of
the
Nation
.
That
their
Lordships
do
wish
nothing
more
than
to
see
the
said
Discontents
sincerely
and
absolutely
taken
away
,
the
Reformed
Religion
maintained
and
establish'd
,
and
the
Liberty
of
the
Nation
preserved
;
to
the
end
that
His
Majesty
and
the
Nation
,
may
thus
re-enter
into
a
good
Understanding
and
Confidence
in
each
another
,
and
that
they
do
Sincerely
and
in
Truth
protest
,
That
they
have
no
other
End
or
Design
,
than
the
desired
Quiet
of
His
Majesties
Kingdoms
,
and
his
Powerful
Co-operating
with
them
for
the
Preservation
of
the
Peace
of
Nimeguen
,
and
the
Treaties
which
have
since
followed
.
