TO THE KINGS Most Excellent MAJESTY , THE HUMBLE ADDRESS OF THE LORD Mayor , Aldermen , and Commons of the City of London , in Common Council Assembled . SHEWETH ,

THat we Your most Loyal and Duetiful Subjects , having with Astonishment received the Discovery of a most Traiterous and Horrid Conspiracy , of divers Ill affected and Desperate Persons , to compass the Death and Destruction of Your Royal Person and of Your Dearest Brother James Duke of York ; and that to effect the same , they have held several Treasonable Consultations , to Levy Men , and to make an Insurrection , and made great Provision of Arms : A Design notoriously tending to the present Destruction , not only of Your best Subjects , but of the Sacred Person of Your Majesty , the best of Princes , and to Involve this and the future Generation in Confusion , Bloud , and Misery ; carried on , notwithstanding their specious Pretences , by known Dissenting Conventiclers , and Atheistical Persons .

And having in the first place offered up our solemn Thanks to Almighty God , for His watchful Providence in bringing to Light this Impious and Execrable Machination ,

We do in the next place humbly offer to Your Majesty the deep Resentments of our Loyal Hearts concerning the same , and beg Your Majesty to Rest fully assured , That as no Interest in this World is valuable to us in comparison of Your Majesties Service and Safety ; so we are Determined readily to Expose our Lives and Fortunes in Defence of Your Majesties Person , Your Heirs and Successors , and Your Government Established in Church and State , and particularly , for Discovering , Defeating , and Destroying all such Conspiracies , Associations , and Attempts whatsoever .

All which Resolutions are accompanied with our Daily and Fervent Prayers , That Your Majesty may Vanquish and overcome all Your Enemies ; And that the years of Your Happy Reign over us , may be many and Prosperous .

2 July 1683.

It is His Majesties Pleasure that this Humble Address be forthwith Printed and Published .

L. JENKINS .
