King's most Excellent Majesty, THE HUMBLE ADDRESS OF THE Lord Mayor Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled.  
SHOWETHS,  
THat we Your most loyal and dutiful Subjects, having with astonishment received the discovery of a most traitorous and horrid Conspiracy, of divers illaffected and desperate Persons, to compass the death and destruction of Your Royal Person, and of Your dearest Brother James Duke of York; and that to effect the same, they have held several Treasonable Consultations to Levy Men, and to make an Insurrection, and made great Provision of Arms; a design notoriously tending to the present destruction, not only of Your best Subjects, but of the Sacred person of Your Majesty, the best of Princes, and to involve this and the future Generation into confusion, blood and misery; carried on, notwithstanding their specious Pretences, by known dissenting Conventiclers, and atheistical Persons,  
And having in the first place offered up our solen n thanks to Almighty God, for His Watchful Providence in bringing to light this Impious and Execrable Machination,  
We do in the next place humbly offer to Your Majesty the deep Resentments of Our loyal hearts concerning the same, and beg Your Majesty to rest fully assured, that as no Interest in this World is valuable to us in comparison of Your Majesty's Service, and Safety; so we are determined readily to expose our lives and fortunes in defence of Your Majesty's Person, Your Heirs and Successors, and Your Government Established in Church and State, and particularly, for discovering, defating, and destroying all such Conspiracies, Associations, and Attempts whatsoever.  
All which Resolutions are accompanied with our daily and fervent Prayers, that Your Majesty may vanquish and overcome all Your Enemies; and that the Years of Your Happy Reign over us, may be many and prosperous.  
2. July 1683.   

It is His Majesty's pleasure that this Humble Address be forthwith Printed and Published.  
L. JENKINS.
