TO
HIS
Most
Excellent
MAJESTIE
KING
CHARLES
The
Second
,
Our
Most
Gracious
SOVERAIGN
.
The
humble
Address
of
the
Officers
of
the
several
Regiments
,
&c.
WITH
such
a
Joy
as
flows
from
Reverence
and
Love
,
We
humbly
present
our selves
before
your
Sacred
Majestie
:
Besides
our
reflection
on
the
Common
good
,
which
in
this
happy
Change
relates
to
our
particular
,
intends
this
joy
,
and
renders
it
sincere
;
For
we
can
now
please
our selves
in
our selves
,
while
we
are
really
performing
that
Duty
for
which
we
were
first
raised
.
And
with
all
Thankfulnesse
we
acknowledge
that
Care
your
Majestie
in
your
late
Letter
and
Declaration
hath
expressed
of
our
Necessary
intent
.
We
blesse
God
to
see
that
day
when
the
serenity
of
every
mans
Countenance
discovers
the
tranquility
of
his
minde
,
for
this
shewes
your
Majestie
to
be
the
true
Soul
of
the
People
,
since
during
your
absence
the
whole
Nation
was
cast
into
such
Distractious
,
as
we
have
no
pleasure
to
remember
,
but
had
rather
turn
our
Thoughts
and
gratefull
Acknowledgements
to
the
happy
Conduct
of
our
Noble
Generall
,
who
hath
thus
farre
lead
us
in
our
Duty
to
your
Royall
Person
.
Yet
as
we
cannot
attribute
too
much
to
his
Merits
,
so
neither
can
we
deprive
our selves
of
that
Honour
and
Comfort
which
we
finde
in
the
accomplishment
of
his
just
designe
.
Therefore
in
plain
and
Souldier
like
(
though
humble
)
Termes
,
we
say
your
Majestie
hath
made
us
and
the
Nation
happy
in
your
Return
to
this
your
Native
Kingdome
;
which
doubtlesse
will
,
nay
we
may
say
,
hath
produced
a
settlement
upon
the
foundation
of
our
Ancient
Laws
;
By
the
due
Excution
of
which
,
together
with
your
Majesties
pious
Inclinations
,
we
trust
Libertisme
and
Prophaneness
wholly
suppressed
,
the
Protestant
Cause
and
true
professors
of
it
encouraged
,
to
the
comfort
of
all
your
Religious
and
Good
People
.
Your
Majestie
will
now
have
your
Great
Council
about
you
,
who
have
already
given
proof
of
their
Loyalty
and
Wisdome
both
to
your
Majestie
and
them
.
We
Professe
and
Declare
,
That
as
we
have
not
been
altogether
uselesse
in
the
Restoration
as
well
of
your
Sacred
Majestie
to
your
Crownes
and
Kingdomes
,
as
your
People
to
their
just
Rights
,
so
we
shall
in
the
future
cheerfully
sacrifice
our
Lives
,
or
whatsoever
can
be
more
dear
to
us
in
the
Service
of
your
Majestie
against
all
Oppositions
whatsoever
,
and
by
a
ready
Obedience
to
your
Majesties
Commands
,
Expresse
our selves
,
Your
Majestie
smost
Loyall
Subjects
,
and
obedient
Servants
.
FINIS
