Invincible Monarch ,

AS there is nothing more Conspicuous in the Christian World , than the Sacred performance of Treaties , and inviolable observance of Faith and Truth in the Mighty Lewis of France , Virtues that so shine in You , till they dazle Your Adorers : Your present Addressors ; encouraged by those radiant Perfections , presume to lay this Supplication at Your most Royal Feet . And as in all Duty bound to declare , that living at present under the happiest of Governments , and therefore by the rooted Principles of our Nature the more Restless under it , we think fit to remonstrate our pressing Grievances in manner following .

First , As the Glory of our Native Country , ( not forgetting the Renown of our Edward the Third , and our Henry the Fifth , of ever hated Memory , ) is our natural Odium and Abhorrence ; out of your Generous Inclination to ease us of that pain , we desire Your Princely Commiseration and Redress of that unsufferable Grief , by the Measures we shall here further at large humbly offer and propose .

Secondly , Being most Zealous Professors of a Religion we are hear●ily weary of , and most highly sensible of Your Majesties most immortally Famous Dragoons ; and consequently longing , even to heart-breaking , for the Blessing of those Booted Apostles amongst us ; under the like pressure and Burthen of our Spiritual as well as Temporal Grievancas , we continue our Equal supplications for no less Ease and Relief herein .

To come to particulars , which we in all humility lay before Thy Royal Consideration ; It is notoriously known to what exalted Speculations we have advanced our Divine Profession of Passive Obedience , and unhappily , at present , being Subjects to a Government , where we are never likely to put that Heavenly Virtue into practise ; we are emboldened to request Thy most Gracious Goodness , by Virtue of our present Invitation , to depute the Successour of thy Divine St. Ruth , of ever Glorious Renown , to come over amongst us ; so that by beseeching Thee to Raign Lo●d over us , ( to which Advancement there shall be no part wanting of our side , either in Caballing , Plotting , or Throatcutting , or any other such Service necessary to thy Introduction ) thou mayst vouchsafe to exert all thy memorable Virtues and Faculties , to the exercise of all thy Rods and Sc●urges , Shackl●s and Manacles , and the rest of the Royal Regalia of France , that so we may taste of , or rather riot , and surfeit with the unutterable Delights of our own Darling Non-Resistance .

Alas , sweet Prince , Thou inimitable Original of Imperial Sway , we have so long groan'd under Ease and Down-Beds , that we are almost out of Patience ( our very Bones aking ) for our Deliverance by thy expected and implored Assistance ; and also for the pleasure of Brogues and Wooden Shoes , and the rest of thy Gallick Accoutrements and Habilements , ala mode de France .

't is true , Dread Monarch , we have , for some Generations past , been a Nation a little formidable in the World , which we remember with Grief : But to thy satisfaction be it spoken , how many Years ( a blessed Reformation ) have we made it our indefatigable Labour and Study , to take down our Altitudes , by endeavouring the Honour , the long coveted Honour , of Subjection and Vassallage , under thy dearest Yoke

Open therefore , we beseech thee , thy Bowels towards us ▪ and take thy kneeling , truckling , humble , groveling Slaves to thy Soveraign Protection . The little Fat England , which we hope one day to make thy Kitchin Garden , or some such diminitive necessary Plantation under Thee , we shall indeavour to weed from some troubled Canker'd Roses , to make room for Thy sweeter and dearer Fleur-de Luces .

We shall not be too tedious in enumerating our Wants , or imploring thy Graces and Favours . We are sensible Thou art satisfied how our Hearts and Souls are intirely Thine . Nor have we so long ploughed and sowed for Thee , but that we speedily expect thy Hand and Sickle to Reap thy Harvest .

Your Dutiful Vassals , &c.
