To His Most Excellent Majesty KING CHARLES The Second, our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN. The humble Address of the Officers of the several Regiments of Horse under the Command of his Excellency the Lord General MONCK, as it was presented by them to His Majesty at Dartford Heath in Kent this present Tuesday, May 29. 1660. LONDON: Printed by S. Griffin, for John Playford at his Shop in the Temple, 1660. Charles Royal blazon C R HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE DIEV ET MON DROIT TO HIS Most Excellent MAJESTY KING CHARLES The Second, Our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN. The humble Address of the Officers of the several Regiments, etc. WITH such a Joy as flows from Reverence and Love, We humbly present ourselves before your Sacred Majesty: Besides our reflection on the Common good, which in this happy Change relates to our particular, intends this joy, and renders it sincere; For we can now please ourselves in ourselves, while we are really performing that Duty for which we were first raised. And with all Thankfulness we acknowledge that Care your Majesty in your late Letter and Declaration hath expressed of our Necessary intent. We bless God to see that day when the serenity of every man's Countenance discovers the tranquillity of his mind, for this shows your Majesty to be the true Soul of the People, since during your absence the whole Nation was cast into such Distractious, as we have no pleasure to remember, but had rather turn our Thoughts and grateful Acknowledgements to the happy Conduct of our Noble General, who hath thus fare lead us in our Duty to your Royal Person. Yet as we cannot attribute too much to his Merits, so neither can we deprive ourselves of that Honour and Comfort which we find in the accomplishment of his just design. Therefore in plain and Soldier like (though humble) Terms, we say your Majesty hath made us and the Nation happy in your Return to this your Native Kingdom; which doubtless will, nay we may say, hath produced a settlement upon the foundation of our Ancient Laws; By the due Execution of which, together with your Majesty's pious Inclinations, we trust Libertisme and Profaneness wholly suppressed, the Protestant Cause and true professors of it encouraged, to the comfort of all your Religious and Good People. Your Majesty will now have your Great Council about you, who have already given proof of their Loyalty and Wisdom both to your Majesty and them. We Profess and Declare, That as we have not been altogether useless in the Restoration as well of your Sacred Majesty to your Crowns and Kingdoms, as your People to their just Rights, so we shall in the future cheerfully sacrifice our Lives, or whatsoever can be more dear to us in the Service of your Majesty against all Oppositions whatsoever, and by a ready Obedience to your Majesty's Commands, Express ourselves, Your Majesty smost Loyal Subjects, and obedient Servants. FINIS.
