Die Mortis^ iS"* Ravemhris^ 1760. \Moft Gracious iSsverei^rtt E, Your Majcfty's mott dutiful and loyal Subjefts, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, in Parliament aflembled, beg Leave to return Your Majefty our hunible Thanks for Your moft gracious Speech from the Throne. On this firft Occafion of approaching Your Royal Perfon, permit us to ex- prcfs our unfeigned Sorrow for the fevere and affliding Lofs, which not only this Nation, but all Europe, has fuftained, in the fudden Death of our late excellent and moft gracious Sovereign, Your Majefty's illuftriou* Grandfather. The long Experience which wc had of His Royal Virtues, the Benignity of His Government, ?y>A His uniform Care of our Laws and Liberties, not interrupted in any one Inftanctf, during the Courfe of fo many Years, demand from us the moll gratetul Acknowledge- ments ♦, and wiU make His Memory as dear to us, as the Height and Splendor to which He had raifcd the Greatnefs of thefc Kingdoms, will render it glorious to ail Pofterity. Such a Lofs could only be repaired bv Your Majefty. And at the fame Time that we condole with Your Majefty, on this melancholly Event, we beg Leave to offer You our moft fincere Congratulations on Your happy Accefllon to the Throne. As Your Majefty is the rightful and ijmmediate Inheritor of His Crown, You are fo of thofe Virtues with which he adorned it •, and which promife a Continuation of the lame Bleffings to thefe Kingdoms. It fills our Minds with inexprcffible Joy, to fee the pleafing Hopes we had conceived from Your many Princely ajid amiable Endowments, and the early Demonftrations of Your Affedlion to this Country, fo fully verified in Your firft Declarations to Your Parliament. We are penetrated with th^ condefcending and endearing Manner, in which Your M-^jefty has exprefled Your Satisfa6lion in having received Your Birth and Education amongft us. What a Im&xq does it caft upon the Name of Briton^ when You, Sir, are pleafed to efteem it amongft Your Glories ! The feveral paternal AITujt which Your Majefty has vouchfafed to give us, fpeak Your Refolution to be the common I ather of Your People. No ftronger Proof can be given of it, than by adopting this undeniable Maxim, That their Love is the beft Security of Your Throne. From this Trinciple will naturally flow the ftrifteft Adherence to our excellent Conftiturion in Church and State; and .the Maintenance of that fureft Cement of the Proteftant Intereft in thefe Kingdoms, the Toleration : And we cannot but applaud Your Majefty's Wifdom and Piety, in making the Encouragement of true Religion and Virtue, one of the great Foundations of Your Government. Vi'e adore the Goodnefs of Providence, in the fignal Succefles with which we have been ble^.ed this laft Summer. The Reduftion of the exttnfive Province of Canada, with the City of Montreal, is an Event of the higheft Importance in every View -, and it is no fmall Addi- tion to the Glory refulting from jt, to have fliewn, that where the Britijb Arms carry Conqueft, t*\cy carry ProtecStiop., I We look upon the great Advantages gained in the Eaft Indies, as highly beneficial to the Trade of tbefe Kingdoms. And we have the juileft Senfe of the happy Confequences derived to 1 the Operations of Great Britain in particular, ns well as to the Common Caufe in general, from I the wife Conduft of Prince Ferdinand of Brunfivirk. After what the Enemy had before expe- rienced from his Abilities, we are not furprr/ed tiiat ihey fliuuld not come to a decifive Kn- gagement. I The Magnanimity and Perfeverancc of the King of Pri'Jfla will not only be the Admiration I of the prefcnt Age, but of Poilerity -, nnd the tiobK- Stand made, and the Viftories obtained by I thacPrince, muft be the ftrongeft Motives to the Powers engaged againlt liim, to concur in tlie proper Mcafures to rellore the Tranrj'iilitv of Eurcpe. I I The ll(c>Oa^ The judicious Sentiments, which Your Majefty has declared to u% concerning Your JlByal Navy, and the Comnnercc of Your Subjeds, are truly wordiy of » /^rZ/y/O Monarch, rcfoHfctl to improve our natural Strength, and mod valuable Refources. The weakening of the Frcmb Force by Sea, to fo great a Degree, and the low State to which theii Trade is reduced, we efte^m amongft the moft folid Benefits accruing to this Nation from the cxpenlivc Efforts made this War. ^ Your Majefty's Regard for publick Merit fliincs fortl) in the generous Notice, which You are pieafed to take, of the Valour and Intrepidity of Your Officers and Forces by Sea and Litnd. They arc equally conducive to the Safety and Glory of our Country \ and Your gracious Accep- tance of the Service of the Militia, as being ufeful in the prcfent arduous Conjuncture, will be a great Encouragement to their Zeal. At the fame Time that we thankfully acknowledge Your Majefty'!|> tender Confideration for Ypur People, in Your Wilhes to have found Your Kingdoms in full Pcacff, we cannot but admire "Jjfbur Wifdom in the comprchenfive Senfe You have cxprelfed of the Caufcs and NecelTity of the pr^enc War. We arc convinced that Your Majefty's humane Difpofition makes You lament the "Ca- lamities of iti whilft Your Greatnefs of Mind has deiermmed Ifou to puriue it with Vigour* in order to a fafe and honourable Peace, fo defirable, not only to Your own Subjects, but to all Europe. Animated by that Duty which we owe Your Majelly, and by our Ze?,l for the Ho- nour and Intereft of the/e Kingdoms, we give Your Majefty the ftrcngcft Aflurances, that we will chearfully fupport You in profecuting the War j afiift the King of Pruffta, and the reft of Your Allies i and heartily concur in all fuch Meafures, as ftiail be neceflar)' for the Defence of Your Ma- jefty and Your Dominions, and for the other National and important Ends whi«ii Yc laid before us. The Anxiety, which Your Majefty has fo early declared, for the uncomnKMi Burdens of ^Your, People, demands our fincereft Thanks, Your tender Concern will be an Iriducement to bear them the more chearfully, and a Pledge to Your faithful Subjecfbs, that th^y Ihall be relieved from them as foon as the Publick Security will, in found Policy, admit. Thefe many and eminent Proofs of Your Majefty's Goodnefs, and of Your fixed Attention to our Happinefs, call upon us for the warmeft Returns of Duty, Gratitude, and Affeftion, to Your facred Perfon ancl Government. Our Loyalty and Fidelity are inviolable. Our Refolution to maintain Your undoubted Title to this Imperial Crown, -anc! the Proteftant Succeffion in Your illuftrious Houfe, at the Hazard of our Lives and Fortunes, is never to be fliaken. Happy fliall we be in every Inftance, whereby we may be able to contribute to the Glory, Profperity, and Eafe of Your Reign. Your Majefty's Prudence, and the Benevolence of Your Royal Heart, have pointed out to us the moft agreeable Means of promoting tViefe Ends, by foilrongly in-" culcating the Continuance of that Union and good H.i^rmony, which fubfift amongft Your People. In doing this. Your Majefty has fet an inviting and powerful Example to ail Your Subjedls, which we are determined to follow, by performing every Thing on our Part, to llrengthcn and improve this happy Situation.
