AN ADDRESS TO HIS MAJESTY , FROM THE Common Council Of the CITY of NEW SARUM , April 27. 1681.

At a Common Council holden for the City of New Sarum on Wednesday the seven and Twentieth day of April 1681 , by the Mayor , Recorder , Aldermen , and Assistants , of the said City ; it is unanimously Ordered and Agreed , that the following Address be Humbly presented to his most Sacred Majesty .

May it please your Most Excellent Majesty ,

WE your Majesties Most Dutiful , and Loyal Subjects , The Mayor , Recorder , Aldermen , and Assistants , of your Majesties City of New Sarum ; being this day in Common Council Assembled , and taking into our Serious Consideration your Majesties Most Gracious Declaration ; which was Read , and Published , in the Cathedral and Parochial Churches , of this City , on Sunday last past : Do think it as well our Duty , as it is our Inclination , to take the first opportunity of Unanimously Presenting , to your Sacred Majesty , our Most Humble thanks , That ( ● the Place , and at the time of enjoying our Religious Worship , Established by Law , and Supported by your Majesties Royal Protection ) your Majesty is Pleased ( in the presence of God ) to Renew to us , all those often repeated Assurances , which your Majesty hath given us , of Extirpating Popery , from amongst us , ( to which end , we cannot but take notice , with all Dutiful Satisfaction ; that your Majesty hath newly issued out your Commands , for a Strict Execution of the Laws , both Ecclesiastical and Civil , in order thereunto ) As also , of Redressing all our Grievances , and of Governing according to the Fundamental , and established Laws of this Kingdom ; whereof ( notwithstanding the groundless Insinuations of Ill-meaning Men to the contrary ) all Reasonable , and Sober Men , are , and ought to be most entirely convinced .

Nor may we forbear , most humbly taking notice , of your Majesties indefatigable Care and Paines for the Preservation of Tanger , in the midst of so many great Streights and Difficulties ; by Supporting with Supplies , out of your Majesties own Stores , a City of Christians amongst Mahumetans , of that importance to Trade , and in that extremity of danger to be lost , which , nothing but God Almighties Goodness , assisting your Princely undertaking , could possibly effect ; and for which , our Posterity , as well as our selves , will ever be oblig'd to praise God .

And , we do on our parts , most Humbly beseech your Majesty to be assured , of our Sincere , and perfect Acquiescence , under your Majesties most Gracious Government , of our equal and impartial Detestation of all Popish and Phanatical principles , and practices , tending to Sedition and Rebellion , and of our Resolute , and Stedfast Adherence to your Majesties Government , both in Church and State , as now by Law Established .

In Defence whereof , and of your Majesties Sacred Person ( whom God long Preserve ) We do with humble Confidence , most cheerfully offer to your Majesty , the Command of our Lives and Fortunes ; and that not only out of an entire and settled Principle of Allegiance , but also out of a deep Sense ; That in the Preservation and Security of your Sacred Majesties Life , and Just Prerogative , all our Lives and Liberties do Consist .

L. S.
