which not only your Majefty owes your Crown, taut we, yoar

profperity as a nation.
We have in humble admiration the principles e moderation and
juftice, as well as firninefs, which have diretfted your Majefty's
rondudt towards your Roman Catholic Subjed.s. Your Nlajetty's
attachment to the Eftablinied Religion of your dominiutts,atttl your
conviction of the truth of thole principles, which at the Reforma-
tion rcfeued the inhabitants of thefe realms from Papal fuFeellition
and religious tyranny, have been uniformly feeo to be aecompa-
nied with the molt jolt and enlighted principles of Chriftim tole-
ration. All the laws which partook of a (pint of perfecution and
intolerance, have, in your Majefty's mild and truly Chriltianitcign,
been repealed; and your Majefty has only refuted to yield to thole
further demands, which are in no degree neceffary to the more
free profeffion of religious faith and enjoyment of religious liberty;
but which aim only at the petrel:lion of power Civil, or Military'

svould Corn& only leer!) pretenzes:attel arguments fur w claims'
and frefh encouragement to tht; hopes of hill farther advancement
to po'itical power. and to Religious Eftablifhtnent. Tilde, there-
fore, your Majesty's wifdom has found it neceffary to svithftand,
as the only mode of recuring the Ettahliffied Religion of your Do-
minions. from thof: inroads which coe'd not be made upon it with-
out flanking the title to your Majefty's Crown, without endanger-
ing the four ,latien °four Libenies,and without forfeiting our belt
hopes for a continuance of thole bleffings, which the ALMIGHTY,
in his mercy and bounty, bas fo long coidinued to bellow upon this
Froteltant Land.
We humtly beg leave to allure your Majefty, with the molt
perfedt confidence, that your Majclty influenced by thefe prin-
ciples, and adling with thefe views has eftablithed your Throne
the hearts mid affections of your Suhjeds; and will continue
to experience the molt zealous and ardent fupport, from the deity,
attachment and loyalty, of an affectionate and grateful People
A People, who devoted to the interelts and happinefs of their
Country, think themfelves molt ftrongly called upon to exprels
their ftntimente of lob airy and duty to the Crown. when they be

prefervatlon of thole barriers, which the wifdom of our anecflors
thouet en cellary for the defence of the Eltabliflunents, and the
feeurity of the Conititution of this Kingdom.
