TO THE WORTHY 'tND INDEPENDENT LIVERY

OF LON Duii.

GCNTLIMIN.
THE peculiar circumstances under which the
Dissolution of Parliament ha: takes. place, are of such
infinite importance, as calls upon every reflect* 1.11.64 to exert
its best energies in support of our glorious ciianitaition in
Chinch and State.
When I ask you, therefore, to give me your Suffrage:, for
the hlth time, to represent this great City in the Commiitil*
!louse of Parliament, I feel I Witi.efi you on the strongest
ground that a Cansltdatc can occupy, namely, a conscious.
new of having on every occasion protected that Constitution,
so the utmost of my power, fearlessly and faithfully ; and, in
the confidence that the good Liverymen of London will not
desert the Man who has never di.serted the minnows he has
made to them, 1 beg leave to submit to your recollection the
few (Mowing Extracts from the Appeals I made on former oc-
casions to you for your support
Extract from my hot Adiress to you. June 1790.
" As a Member ctimnsunite at large, I shall be
equally anxious to preserve inviolate nut alt...:Mos Constitu.
" 6011, a Constitution erected by the deliberate wedom of our
aneessors, sanctioned by time, and confirmed by the most
.1 splendid virtues and abilities of the present age."
Ls my Second, of Julie 1796

" I never can have the presumption to meet you again on •
" a sintilar occasion, if the firm and undevitt-ng prineiples
" should in any one instance he abandoned by me, which
" have hithene actuated my conrkOt.
" These principle; have been, and, while I have ability to
" give them elk's+, or meinnry to retain a mine of your favour,
" shall invariably tit—loyalty to my King-unshaken attach-
" nient to the Con ititu.ion of these Kingdoms and in in-
" flexible adherence to the enartered rights of 'yeti, my Coo.
" autumns."
In my Third, of June IEO2.
" I have uniformly, steadily, and strenuously exerted eery
" nerve, as a man, a Magistrate, and a Representative of the
.‘ Commons of England, to support, maintain, and strengthen
" our glorious Constitution, which, gaining, like the Br•tish
" Oilt, increased' vigour in the storm, stand., in spite of all its
Assailants, more secure and more envied than ever."
Frain these Extracts 1 take leave to deduce this inference,
that my pude-mining have been uniform to von, to maintain,
while 1 have life, the sacred barriers which our ancestors erect-
al for the preservation of our religion, laws, and liberties ;
and 1 challenge any Man* who has attended faithfully to my
• emiduct daring the period of four successive Parliaments, to
codu e sty as ertion, that I have aniently and religiously de-
fended, at all times, our Church and our King. Such has
' been, is, and ever shall continue to be, the basis of my public
and prorate conduct. 'Upon these prineipirsl confidently come
forward, on the present occasion, to admit a continuance of
that firer support and active seal which have ever barn the
pride of my Ideand bulwark of my hopes.

Yourtarthrul, obliged, and humble Servant,
