The Humble ADDRESS of the House of Commons to the KING. May it please Your most Excellent MAJESTY, THIS is the Eighth Year in which Your Majesty's most Dutiful and Loyal Subjects the Commons in Parliament assembled, have assisted Your Majesty with large Supplies for carrying on a just and necessary War in defence of our Religion, preservation of our Laws, and vindication of the Rights and Liberties of the people of England; which we have hitherto preserved, and by the blessing of God on Your Majesty's Conduct and good Government, will steadfastly Maintain and Entail on our Posterity. This has cost the Nation much Blood and Treasure, but the hopes of accomplishing so Great and Glorious a Work, have made Your Subjects cheerfully support the Charge. And to show to Your Majesty, and all Christendom, That the Commons of England will not be amused or diverted from their firm resolutions of obtaining by War, a Safe and Honourable Peace, we do, in the name of all those we represent, renew our assurances to Your Majesty, That this House will support Your Majesty and Your Government against all Your Enemies both at home and abroad, And that they will effectually assist You in the Prosecution and Carrying on the present War against France. Edinburgh, reprinted by the Heirs and Successors of Andrew Anderson, Printer to His Most Excellent Majesty, Anno DOMâ–ª 1696.
