To the King's most Excellent Majesty, The Humble ADDRESS OF THE CITIZENS and INHABITANTS That are of the Presbyterian Persuasion in the City of Edinburgh and Cannongate. May it please Your most Sacred Majesty, WE cannot find suitable Expressions to evidence our most humble and grateful Acknowledgements for Your Majesties late Gracious Declaration, by which we are happily delivered of many sad and grievous Burdens we have long groaned under; and (all Restraints, to our great Joy, being taken off) are allowed the free and peaceable public Exercise of our Religion, a Mercy which is dearer to us than our Lives and Fortunes. Could we open our Hearts, Your Majesty would undoubtedly see what deep Sense and true Zeal for Your Service, so surprising and signal a Favour hath imprinted on our Spirits; for which, we reckon ourselves highly obliged (throwing ourselves at Your Majesty's Feet) to return Your most Excellent Majesty our most humble, dutiful and hearty Thanks: And we desire humbly to assure Your Majesty, That as the Principles of the Protestant Religion, which according to our Confession of Faith we profess obligeth us all the days of our Lives to that entire Loyalty and Duty to Your Majesty's Person and Government, that no difference of Religion can dissolve; so we hope, and through God's Assistance, shall still endeavour to demean ourselves is our Practice, in such manner, as shall evidence to the World the Truth and Sincerity of our Loyalty and Gratitude, and make it appear, that there is no inconsist ency betwixt true Loyalty and Presbyterian Principles. Great SIR! We humbly offer our Dutiful and Faithful Assurances, that as we have not been hitherto wanting in that great Duty, which our Consciences bind upon us to pray for Your Majesty; so this late refreshing and unexpected Favour will much more engage us in great Sincerity, to continue still to offer up our desires to the God of Heaven, by whom King's Reign and Princes decree Justice, to Bless Your Royal Majesty's Person and Government; and after a happy and comfortable Reign on Earth, to Crown You with an incorruptible Crown of Glory in Heaven, which is most ardently prayed for, by, Most Dread Sovereign, Your Majesty's most humble, most Loyal, most Dutiful, and most Obedient Subjects. Subscribed in our own Names, and by order of the Citizens and Inhabitants of the Presbyterian Persuasion within Your City of Edinburgh and Connongate. London, Printed by T.
