THE ENGLISH ASSOCIATION OF THE HOUSE of COMMONS.  
Kensingtoun, April 3. This Day Mr. Speaker, with the House of Commons in a Body, attended His Majesty, and presented their Association as follows.  
WHereas there has been a horrid and detestable Conspiracy, Form and carried on by Papists and other Wicked and Traitorous Persons, for Assassinating his Majesty's Royal Person, in order to encourage an Invasion from France, to subvert our Religion, Laws and Liberties; We whose Names are hereunto subscribed, do hearty, sincerely and solemnly profess, testify and declare, that His present Majesty King William is Rightful and Lawful King of these Realms. And we do mutually promise and engage to stand by and assist each other, to the uttermost of our power, in the Support and Defence of His Majesty's most Sacred Person and Government, against the late King James, and all his Adherents. And in case His Majesty come to any violent or untimely Death, (which God forbidden) we do hereby further freely and unanimously oblige ourselves to unite, associate, and stand by each other in revenging the same upon his Enemies, and their Adherents; and in supporting and defending the Succession of the Crown, according to an Act made in the first Year of the Reign of King William and Queen Mary, Entitled, An Act declaring the Rights and Liberties of the Subject, and settling the Succession of the Crown.  
Mr. Sp●aker made a Request to his Majesty, that the said Association, and all other Associations by the Commons of England be lodged among the Records in the Tower, to remain as a perpetual Memorial of their Loyalty and Affection to His Majesty. And His Majesty was graciously pleased to answer to this effect.  
GENTLEMEN,  
I Take this as a most convincing and most acceptable Evidence of your Affection, and as you have freely Associated yourselves for Our Common Safety, I do hearty enter into the same Association, and will be always ready with you, and the rest of my good Subjects, to venture my Life against all who shall endeavour to subvert the Religion, Laws and Liberties of England,  
His Majesty was pleased likewise to say, That the Association should be lodged in the Tower, as they desire.
