TO THE King's Most Excellent majesty. The Humble address of the Lords, Knights, and Gentlemen, of the six Counties of South-wales, and County of Monmouth. PRESENTED TO, AND MOST graciously received BY, HIS majesty, The 16. of June 1660. WE your majesty's most Loyal Subjects, do, in all humility and thankfulness to the Divine Providence, acknowledge the goodness of God, as well in the many miraculous deliverances of your Sacred Majesty, from the practices of men incomparably wicked; as in restoring us, at length, to the fruition of our hopes, even the breath of our nostrils, as Your Sacred Majesty, once our Prince, and now our Dea● and Dread sovereign Lord and King, whom God long preserve! In the next place, We may not, without the highest ingratitude, forget to acknowledge the great Immunities and gracious Favours conferred upon our Nation by your Royal Grandfather, and the Glorious Saint and Martyr, Your Father, of ever blessed memory; our grateful-sense whereof, we shall testify by the effusion and expense of our dearest Blood and Fortunes, when your majesty's Interest and Service shall require it. And, as we have had the honour to trace your majesty's footsteps in your afflictions (according to our proportions); So, to testify our obedience to your majesty's Commands, and our submission to the Divine Will, we resolve and declare, that we will imitate (what you have most livelily copied out from your Great Master's Original,) your incomparable Charity; and unite ourselves, under your majesty's Protection and Government, with those who differed most from us; so far as they shall study to preserve the spirit of Obedience in the bond of Peace. Yet because we cannot but with horror and detestation, look back upon the fatal Actors in that bloody Tragedy of your Father's death, and the lamentable Devastations and sacrileges perpetrated upon the, once most glorious and ancient, British Church; So we cannot but be highly satisfied, when we observe, that as your Majesty hath referred the vindication of the former, to the wisdom of your Parliament; so we hope for a speedy restitution of the latter to her Primitive splendour, as to Doctrine and Government, according to the known Laws of England. We shall now conclude with a double Petition, First to God, That he would be pleased to receive your Sacred Majesty into his especial care and protection: Next, to your Majesty; That you would accept of this our humble address; Pardon the deficiences of it, and receive us into you majesty's Protection, and gracious Favour, as we have and shall espouse your Interest above all other Concernments.
