THE
HUMBLE
ADDRESS
OF
THE
HOUSE
of
COMMONS
TO
THE
KING
.
WE
Your
Majesty's
most
Dutiful
and
Loyal
Subjects
,
the
Commons
in
Parliament
Assembled
,
who
have
so
frequently
waited
on
Your
Majesty
,
with
the
tender
of
our
Assistance
,
for
Carrying
on
the
War
;
come
now
to
Congratulate
Your
Majesty
,
upon
the
happy
Conclusion
of
it
,
in
a
Peace
,
so
Honourable
and
Advantageous
to
the
Nation
,
as
sufficiently
justifies
the
Wisdom
of
the
Commons
,
in
Advising
,
and
Your
Majestys
Conduct
in
the
Prosecution
of
it
.
The
Prospect
of
the
Benefits
Your
People
will
receive
from
the
Peace
,
is
very
pleasing
;
the
Honour
Your
Majesty
has
Restored
to
England
,
of
holding
the
Balance
of
Europe
,
gives
Your
Subjects
great
Content
:
But
what
Your
Commons
are
most
Affected
and
Delighted
with
,
is
,
That
Your
Majesty's
Sacred
Person
will
now
be
secure
from
those
many
and
great
Dangers
,
to
which
You
have
so
often
Expos'd
it
,
for
our
Sakes
;
nothing
being
so
evident
,
as
that
Your
Majesty's
Return
in
Safety
was
a
Blessing
more
welcome
to
Your
People
,
than
Peace
,
and
received
with
greater
Demonstrations
of
Joy
.
We
therefore
,
with
Hearts
full
of
Affection
,
Duty
,
and
Gratitude
,
do
Assure
Your
Majesty
,
in
the
Name
of
the
Commons
of
England
,
That
this
House
will
be
ever
ready
to
Assist
and
Support
Your
Majesty
;
Who
,
by
putting
a
period
to
the
War
,
has
Confirmed
us
in
the
quiet
Possession
of
our
Rights
and
Liberties
,
and
so
fully
compleated
the
Glorious
Work
of
our
Deliverance
.
