and threatened so directly the immediate Subversion
of all legal Power, the Destruction of all Property,

Affection to My People, to suppress in every Part
those rebellious Insurrections, and to provide for the
Public Safety, by the most effectual and immediate
Application of the Force intrusted to Me by Parliament.
I have directed Copies of the Proclamations issued
upon that Occasion to be laid before you.
"Proper Orders have been given for bringing the
Authors and Abettors of these Insurrections, and the
Perpetrators of such criminal Acts, to speedy Trial,
and to such condign Punishment as the Laws of their
Country prescribe, and as the Vindication of Public
Justice demands.
"Though I trust it is not necessary, yet I think it
right, at this Time, to renew to you My solemn
Assurances, that I have no other Object but to make
the Laws of the Realm, and the Principles of Our
excellent Constitution in Church and State, the Rule
and Measure of My Conduct; and I shall ever consider it as the first Duty of My Station, and the chief
Glory of My Reign, to maintain and preserve the
