To the King's most Excellent Majesty. The Humble Address of the truly Loyal Subjects of the Town and Port of Dover.

May it please your Majesty,

WE your Majesties Humble, Loyal, and Dutiful Sub­jects, having a deep sense of your unparallel'd Ten­derness towards, and care for your People, both in Relation of their sacred and civil Concerns, and of that Peace and Happiness we have hitherto enjoy'd under your Majesties most Auspicious and Prudent Government; which inestimable Blessing we were in danger to be deprived of, if your sacred Majesties great Wisdom, Care and Authority had not timely prevented it: The clear demonstration hereof is apparent to all the World, by your Majesties most excellent and gra­tious Declaration received, as to the whole and every part of it, with all imaginable Joy, and unexpressible Satisfaction by your Majesties Truly Loyal People.

For this Your Royal Favour, We humbly beg, Your Ma­jesty to accept of our most dutiful, hearty and unseigned Thanks, and grateful Acknowledgment; And we do promise and vow in the presence of Almighty God, And declare be­fore all the world, that We tender our Lives and Fortunes, as an Eucharistick Oblation to Your Majesty, for the Preser­vation of Your Sacred Person, Maintenance of the Protestant Religion, as now Establish'd by Law, and the Succession of the Imperial Grown of England in its due and Legal course of Descent.

The God of Heaven Prolong your Majesties Days, Bless you with Health and Happiness, Establish your Sacred Person and Government in the Hearts and Affection of your People, and continue the British Monarchy within the Royal Family; till Time shall be no more.
Your Sacred Majesties most Humble, Loyal, Dutiful and Obedient Subjects.
