Mojl Gracious Sovereign^ E, Your Majefty's molt dutiful and loyal Subjefts, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, in Parliament aflcmbled, beg Leave to return Your Majelty our humble Thanks for Your moft gracious Speech from the Throne. On this firft Occafion of approaching Your Royal Perfon, permit us to ex- prefs our unfeigned Sorrow for the fevere and afflidting Lois, 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 illuftrious Grandfather. The long Experience which we had of His Royal Virtues, the Benignity of His Government, and His uniform Care of our Laws and Liberties, not interrupted in any orte Inftance, during the Courfe of fo many Years, demand from us the moft grateful Acknowledge- ments •, and wiU make His Memory as dear to us, as the Height and Splendor to which He had raifed the Greatnefs of thefe Kingdoms, will render it glorious to all Pofterity. Such a Lofs could only be repaired by Your Majefty. And at the fame Time that we condole with Your Majefty, on this mclancholly Event, we beg Leave to offer You our moft fincerc Congratulations on Your happy Acceflion to the Throne. As Your Majefty is the rightful and immediate Inheritor of His Crown, You are fo of thofe Virtues with which he adorned it ; and which promifc a Continuation of the fame Bleflings to thefe Kingdoms. It fills our Minds with inexpreflible Joy, to fee the pleafing Hopes we had conceived from Your many Princely and amiable Endowments, and the early Demonftratmns of Your Affeftion to this Country, fo fully verified in Your firft Declarations to Your Pariiament. We are penetrated with the condefcending and endearing Manner, in which Your Majefty has exprefled Your Satisfaction in having received Your Birtii and Education amongft us. What a Luflre does it cift upon the Name of Briton^ when You, Sir, are pleafed to efteem it amongft Your Gkiries I The feveral paternal Afllirances which Your Majefty has vouchfafed to give us, fpeak Your Refolution to be the common Father of Your People. No ftrongcr Proof can be given of it, than by adopting this undeniable Maxim, That their Love is tlie bcft Security of Your Throne. From this Principle will naturally tlow the ftricteft Adherence to our excellent Conftitution in Church and State ; and the Maintenance of that fureft Cemt-nt 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. We adore the Goodnefs of Providence, in the fignal Succefles with which we have been blefted this Jaft Summer. The Redudion of the extenfive 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 it, to have Ihewn, that where the Britijh Arms carry Conqueft, they carry Protedtion. W* look upon the great Advantages gained in the Efft Indies, as highly beneficial to the 'Iradc of thefe Kingdoms. And we have the juftcft Senfe of the happy Coniequcnces derived to the Operations of Great Britain in particular, as well as to the Common Caufe in genera!, from tiie wife Condudt of Prince Ferdinand of Brun/zviik. After wlut the Enemy had before expe- lienced from his Abilities, we are not lurprized that they (liould not come to a decifive I'ln- gagement. The Magnanimity and Perfevcrance of the King of Pmjfui will not only b'^ the Admiration of the prcfent Age, but of Poilerity ; and the noble Siantl niiide, and the Vidtorics obtained by that Prince, muft be the ftrongeft Motives to the Powers engaged ngainit Him, to concur in the proper Meafures to reltore the Tranquility of Eunpe. I The '-•(l [ 4 ] The judicious Sentiments, which Your Majcfty has declared to us, concerning Your Royal Navy, and the Commerce of Your Subjeds, are truly worthy of a Brilijh Monarch, refolvcd to improve our natural Strength, and moil valuable Rcfourccs. The weakening of the French Force by Sea, to fo great a Degree, and the low State to which their Trade is reduced, we cftt-em amongft the moll folid Benefits accruing to this Nation from the expcnfive Efforts' mad'; this War. Your Majefty's Regard for publick Merit fhines forth in the generous Notice, which You are pleafed to take, of the Valour and Intrepidity of Your Officers and Forces by Sea and Land. They are equally conducive to the Safety and Glory of our Country ; and Your gracious Accep- tance of the Service of the Militia, as being ufefiil in the prefent arduous Conjundlurc, will be a great Encouragement to their Zeal. At the fame Time that we thankfully acknowledge Your Majefty's tender Confideration for Your People, in Your Wiflies to have found Your Kingdoms in full Peace, wc ca.nnot but^admire Your Wifdom in the comprchenfive Senfe You have exprelled of the Caufes and Neceflity of the prefent War. We arc convinced that Your Majefty's humane Difpofition makes You lament the Ca- lamities of it } whilft Your Greatnefs of Mind has determined You to purl'ue it with Vigour, in order to a fafe and honourable Peace, fo defirable, no: only to Your own Subjeds, but to all Europe. Animated by that Duty which we owe Your Majefty, and by our Zeal for the Ho- nour and Intereft of thefe Kingdoms, we give Your Majefty the ttrongeft Affurances, that we will chearfully fupport You in profecuting the War •, aftift the King of Pruffta., and the reft of Your Allies i and heartily concur in all fuch Meafures, as ftiall be neceffary for the Defence of Your Ma- jefty and Your Dominions, and for the other National and important Ends which You have fo fully laid before us. The Anxiety, which Your Majefty has fo early declared, for the uncommon Burdens of Your People, demands our fmcereft Thanks. Your tender Concern will be an Inducement to bear them the more chearfully, and a Pledge to Your faithful Subjeds, that they ftiall be relieved from them as foon as the Publick Security will, in found Policy, admit. Thefe many and eminent Proofi of Your Majefty's Goodnefs, and of Your fixed Attention to our Happinefs, call upon us for the warmeft Returns of Duty, Gratitude, and AfTedlion, to Your facred Perfon and Government. Our Loyalty and Fidelity are inviolable. Our Refolution to maintain Your undoubted Title to this Imperial Crown, and the Proteftant Succefllon in Your iliuftrious Houfe, at the Hazard of our Lives and Fortunes, is never to be ftiaken. Happy ftiall we be in every Inftance, whereby we may be able to contribute to the Glory, Profperity, and F.afe of Your Reign. Your M^efty's Prudence, and the Benevolence of Your Royal Heart, have pointed out to us the moft agreeable Means of promoting thefe Ends, by fo ftrongly in- culcating the Continuance of that Union and good Harmony, which fubfift amongft Your People. In doing this. Your Majefty has fet an inviting and powerful Example to all Your Subjeds, which we are determined to follow, by performing every Thing on our Part, to ftrengthen and improve this happy Situation. His majesty's moit Gracious Ans\vf.r. My Lords, T Return you My hearty Tbanksfor this very loyal and dutiful Addrefs. Nothing can be •'- more agreeable to Me, than your unanimous Concurrence in the feveral weighty Matters ivhich I laid before you. The Affurances you give Me of your Fidelity and AffeSlion to My Perfon and Government y and of' your Zeal for the true Intereft of your Country, and for the Support of My Allies, afford Me the higheft Salisfadlion, and mil have the befi Effe£i both at Home and Abroad.
