A MEMORIAL FOR THE Poor French Refugees▪  
WE the Poor French Ministers, Gentlemen and others, distressed Refugees now in England, with the deepest and fullest sense of Gratitude, in the first place return to Your Honours our humble and just Acknowledgement, for Your most Christian and Charitable Consideration of us the last Year, by which opportune Relief we have been preserved from Perishing under those many Miseries which then oppressed us.  
Nor is it possible for us ever to forget the great Obligations this Generous and Charitable House as laid us under, in so Kindly receiving, and so Charitably Relieving us hitherto.  
'tis this that fills us with the utmost Confusion, in still presuming to trouble Your Honours; but being encouraged by Your Honours experienced Commiseration, and forcibly pressed by our crying Necessities, we humbly crave leave to implore the continuance of Your Honours Charitable Provision for us, without which Your former Goodness will prove ineffectual, and we your distressed Suppliants, with our poor Families, must be inevitably exposed to the utmost ruin and destruction.  
Therefore they humbly crave leave again to represent to this Honourable House of Commons, that although Your Honours intention was to grant unto the poor French Refugees for their relief the last Year 15000 l. The said Refugees having been paid in Tallies, upon which they did lose a great deal, they have received but about one half of it. So they are in hope Your Honours this Year will be pleased to take into your Consideration their great Lose, and to grant unto this poor People, to rescue them from their urgent Misery, the Sum of 20000 l. without which they are in danger to be brought into Prison, and there to Starve and Perish miserable.
