TO THE KING'S most Excellent Majesty. Most Gracious Sovereign, THE Glorious Lord of Heaven and Earth hath done so great things for us in restoring your Majesty to your Throne, and these Nations to your Majesty's Rightful and Undoubted Government in Peace, without either the dangers or destructions of War, that we are like them that dream. For though the Settlement of your Majesty's Kingdoms under your Royal Sceptre, hath been all these late times of trouble the matter of our Long, Prayers, Endeavours, and consequently of our Expectations, yet to have it accomplished so much with both your Majesty's Honour, and your People's Quiet and Security, was far above our Hope before, and now exceeds the Expressions of our Joy. Your Majesty is so signally and highly favoured in the Court of Heaven, that God hath for you inverted the ordinary methods of his Providence, he hath took the Race from the Swift, and Victory from the Strong: In your Case, Inveterate Factions submit to Union, and high Passions and Violence to Reason. For this Blessing, we have joined with all your Majesty's Loyal Subjects, in rendering unto God the greatest Praises our Hearts could frame for the greatest Temporal Mercies, in using the loudest Acclamations, and heartiest Expressions of Joy ever used by this Nation, and in evidencing our Submission and Obedience by all the ways our greatest Affections and dutifulness could find out. And we most humbly beseech your Majesty to accept graciously this our most humble Address as a further overflowing of our hearts, though we have nothing in it to offer your Majesty, but that which is your own by the Law of God and of this Land, our most affectionately Loyal and Obedient hearts, with an entire resignation of our Lives and Fortunes, whensoever they may be for your Majesty's service: And humbly pray Almighty God in your Majesty's behalf, that you may long Reign happily, as you do now, that is, as well in the Hearts, as over the Outward Condition of your Subjects, that from your Majesties so much desired Government may flow all Blessings upon your Loyal Subjects, that we may by your Majesty's great Moderation, Prudence and Felicity, see once again the Church and State flourish, as in the days of your Royal Father and Grandfather of ever Glorious Memory, to whom, as your Majesty is a living Monument of Honour upon Earth, so that you may be, after a very long Life, the same in Heaven, shall be the Constant and most Zealous Prayer of Your MAJESTY'S Most humble and most dutiful Subjects of the County of SOMERSET, John Lord Paulet.
