Thanks
,
for
having
Acquainted
Your

the
great
Danger
Your
Sacred
Person

been
so
nearly
Exposed

and
the
Design
of
an
Invasion
from
our
Enemies

We
heartily
Congratulate
Your
Majesties
Happy
Preservation
,
and
Thankfully
Acknowledge
the
Signal
Providence
of
God
in
it
;
and
at
the
same
time
Declare
our
Detestation
and
Abhorrence
of
so
Vilanous
and
Barbarous
a
Design

Welfare

so
Entirely
Depend

all

;
hereby
Declaring
to
all
the
World

That
in
Case

come
to
any
Violent
Death
(

God
forbid
)
we
will
Revenge
the
same
upon
all
Your
Enemies

their
Adherents
;

Service

give
all
possible
Dispatch

the
Publick
Business

Sieze
