Subjects, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and
Commons assembled in Parliament, being highly sensible of our late great and signal Deliverance from
Popery and arbitrary Power, whereof it hath pleased
Almighty God to make Your Majesty the glorious
Instrument; and desiring to the utmost of our Abilities to express our Gratitude to Your Majesty for so
great and generous an Undertaking, no less necessary
for the Support of the Protestant Interest in Europe,
than for the recovering and maintaining the Civil
Rights and Liberties of these Nations, so notoriously
invaded and undermined by Popish Counsels and
Counsellors; and being likewise fully convinced of
the restless Spirits and the continued Endeavours of
Your Majesty's and the Nation's Enemies, for the
Extirpation of the Protestant Religion, and the Subversion of our Laws and Liberties; do unanimously
declare, That we will stand by and assist Your Majesty, with our Lives and Fortunes, in supporting
Your Alliances Abroad, in reducing of Ireland, and
in Defence of the Protestant Religion and Laws of
the Kingdom."
