hereford_n may_v it_o please_v your_o most_o sacred_a majesty_n since_o we_o be_v very_o sensible_a that_o no_o age_n have_v ever_o yet_o produce_v any_o prince_n that_o have_v with_o more_o justice_n goodness_n and_o mercy_n sway_v the_o sceptre_n of_o the_o three_o kingdom_n blessing_n which_o our_o forefather_n never_o have_v in_o a_o more_o eminent_a degree_n of_o perfection_n and_o all_o other_o nation_n never_o yet_o know_v we_o conceive_v it_o our_o duty_n to_o manifest_v to_o your_o majesty_n and_o all_o the_o world_n our_o just_a value_n and_o grateful_a apprehension_n of_o the_o happiness_n we_o enjoy_v under_o the_o best_a of_o king_n and_o most_o upright_o of_o government_n and_o however_o some_o ill_a man_n to_o accomplish_v their_o black_a design_n by_o attempt_v to_o subvert_v the_o government_n sly_o insituate_a to_o the_o credulous_a people_n causeless_a fear_n and_o false_a jealousy_n of_o arbitrary_a power_n grow_v upon_o we_o yet_o the_o public_a manifestation_n your_o majesty_n have_v at_o all_o time_n give_v to_o your_o people_n of_o your_o govern_n by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o by_o no_o other_o method_n which_o we_o find_v your_o majesty_n hold_v to_o inviolable_o and_o and_o maintain_v as_o sacred_a keep_v we_o as_o safe_a from_o such_o mean_a apprehension_n as_o we_o be_v secure_a from_o the_o dismal_a effect_n of_o such_o a_o way_n of_o government_n which_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o suspect_v unless_o it_o be_v from_o those_o that_o suggest_v it_o nor_o from_o they_o neither_o till_o they_o have_v subvert_v a_o well_o temper_a monarchy_n and_o introduce_v their_o beloved_a tyrannical_a republic_n we_o can_v but_o with_o all_o humble_a duty_n loyal_a gratitude_n and_o excess_n of_o joy_n observe_v your_o majesty_n constant_a endeavour_n to_o give_v satisfaction_n and_o ease_n to_o the_o mind_n of_o your_o majesty_n subject_n not_o only_o in_o your_o strict_a adherence_n to_o and_o favour_n of_o the_o true_a protestant_a religion_n but_o more_o especial_o in_o your_o late_a declaration_n which_o can_v but_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o seditious_a and_o factious_a preserve_v from_o apostasy_n the_o doubtful_a and_o confirm_v the_o loyalty_n of_o your_o best_a settle_a subject_n and_o that_o your_o majesty_n may_v see_v that_o we_o be_v not_o poison_v or_o likely_a to_o be_v so_o by_o any_o seditious_a and_o factious_a designer_n we_o do_v unanimous_o and_o hearty_o assure_v your_o sacred_a majesty_n that_o we_o will_v stand_v by_o your_o majesty_n in_o the_o preservation_n of_o your_o person_n your_o heir_n and_o lawful_a successor_n and_o the_o government_n in_o church_n and_o state_n as_o it_o be_v now_o by_o law_n establish_v with_o the_o last_o drop_n of_o our_o blood_n and_o
