matlon-ilberty OF conscience and the
authority of the law. / accept the bat
tie thus imposed upon me in the fulfill
ment of my kingly duties and in the
firm reliance on God, to whose help we
look for victory, but also in spirit of
regard for the creed Of others, and the
evangelical forbearance which has been
stamped by my forefathers on the laws
and administration of my States. The
latest measures Of my Government do
not infringe upon the Romish Church or
the free exercises Of their religion by her
votaries. They only give to the legation
of the country some Of the guarantees
long possessed by Prussia, without being
held by the Romish Church as incompat-
ible with the free exercise Of her religion.
/ rejoice at the proof afforded me by
your letter that the sympathies Of the
people Of England would not fail me in
this struggle. To the people of England
my people and my royal house are bound
by the remembrance of many an honora-
bic struggle maintained in common since
the days of William OF Orange. l beg
you to Communicate this letter, with
my hearty thanks, to the gentlemen who
signed the resolutions, and l remain
yours sincerely, NED. WILHELM.
