to_o the_o king_n most_o excellent_a majesty_n the_o humble_a address_n of_o your_o majesty_n most_o loyal_a subject_n of_o the_o clergy_n in_o the_o county_n of_o kent_z most_o gracious_a sovereign_n as_o we_o can_v look_v but_o with_o a_o holy_a amazement_n upon_o that_o divine_a hand_n of_o providence_n which_o with_o most_o admirable_a and_o indiscernible_a progress_v have_v restore_v your_o sacred_a majesty_n to_o your_o undoubted_a birthright_n and_o into_o the_o arm_n and_o heart_n of_o your_o loyal_a subject_n so_o we_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o express_v unto_o the_o world_n our_o abundant_a thankfulness_n to_o that_o omnipotent_a god_n and_o testify_v our_o joy_n in_o that_o miraculous_a and_o happy_a restitution_n it_o be_v evident_o and_o eminent_o apparent_a that_o not_o by_o might_n nor_o by_o power_n but_o by_o his_o spirit_n have_v the_o lord_n bring_v you_o forth_o through_o variety_n of_o difficulty_n and_o opposition_n as_o our_o zerubbabel_n and_o have_v make_v the_o great_a mountain_n a_o plain_a before_o your_o sacred_a foot_n in_o who_o we_o see_v concentre_v all_o those_o excellency_n which_o we_o be_v confident_a will_n through_o god_n mercy_n make_v this_o church_n and_o nation_n under_o your_o majesty_n government_n and_o protection_n complete_o happy_a and_o as_o we_o never_o do_v former_o make_v the_o least_o address_n to_o those_o prodigious_a usurper_n which_o have_v involve_v this_o church_n and_o kingdom_n in_o divers_a labyrinth_n of_o woe_n and_o misery_n and_o well-nigh_o blast_v the_o most-flourishing_a and_o catholic_a religion_n and_o the_o best_a constitute_v monarchy_n upon_o earth_n so_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v sensible_a of_o this_o bless_a alteration_n under_o the_o warmth_n and_o spread_a ray_n of_o your_o majesty_n benign_a and_o most_o auspicious_a constellation_n whereby_o our_o stifle_v hope_n have_v recover_v such_o strength_n as_o to_o revive_v we_o into_o a_o expectation_n that_o your_o incomparable_a piety_n and_o wisdom_n will_v restore_v and_o establish_v the_o purity_n of_o religion_n together_o with_o that_o primitive_a and_o apostolic_a government_n which_o be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereby_o this_o glorious_a church_n and_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v again_o the_o astonishment_n of_o our_o adversary_n and_o the_o rejoice_v of_o all_o sincere_a and_o faithful_a christian_n both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o wherein_o as_o you_o will_v appear_v the_o true_a defender_n of_o the_o faith_n so_o it_o will_v remain_v as_o a_o indelible_a character_n and_o eternal_a monument_n of_o your_o admirable_a wisdom_n and_o singular_a goodness_n and_o we_o can_v but_o with_o all_o demonstration_n of_o joy_n and_o expression_n of_o thankfulness_n to_o your_o majesty_n bless_v and_o praise_v the_o god_n of_o heaven_n who_o have_v put_v it_o into_o your_o royal_a heart_n to_o appear_v so_o seasonable_o and_o zealous_o in_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n against_o the_o viciousness_n and_o profaneness_n of_o this_o age._n and_o we_o daily_o pray_v that_o god_n who_o have_v stir_v up_o your_o divine_a soul_n will_v also_o enable_v your_o royal_a hand_n to_o obviate_v and_o give_v a_o perfect_a check_n to_o those_o debauch_n which_o be_v so_o much_o a_o dishonour_n to_o god_n a_o scandal_n to_o the_o nation_n and_o a_o reproach_n to_o the_o gospel_n which_o we_o profess_v and_o now_o dread_a sovereign_n in_o all_o humility_n we_o beg_v leave_v with_o our_o heart_n and_o hand_n unanimous_o and_o cheerful_o to_o testify_v and_o subscribe_v our_o obedience_n and_o loyalty_n and_o though_o our_o hand_n be_v weak_a yet_o we_o shall_v lay_v forth_o our_o heart_n in_o our_o prayer_n which_o be_v the_o church_n best_a and_o only_o weapon_n to_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n that_o he_o who_o in_o such_o a_o continue_a series_n of_o wonder_n have_v hitherto_o preserve_v your_o majesty_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o your_o enemy_n and_o now_o restore_v you_o to_o your_o regal_a throne_n in_o peace_n will_v be_v please_v to_o bless_v you_o with_o length_n of_o day_n and_o crown_v you_o with_o his_o love_a kindness_n and_o tender_a mercy_n and_o be_v a_o wall_n of_o fire_n round_o about_o you_o to_o scare_v away_o all_o foreign_a invader_n and_o preserve_v you_o in_o safety_n from_o domestic_a conspiracy_n and_o so_o fasten_v you_o as_o a_o nail_n in_o a_o sure_a place_n that_o your_o throne_n be_v establish_v in_o righteousness_n your_o crown_n may_v never_o be_v shake_v till_o
