Address of the Inhabitants of the
County of Somersett.

Nov^er the 28^th 1689.
To the King and Queen most Ex^t Maj^ty.
Wee your Majesty's Subjects in the County of Somersett
and Province of Maryland, being refreshed and Encouraged
by your Majestys great and prosperous undertakings, and by
your late gracious letter to these of this Province, do cast our-
selves at your Majesty's feet humbly desiring and hopefully
expecting the continuance of your Maj^tys care of us, as our
Case and Circumstances doe or may require, in the confidence
whereof wee resolve to continue (by the grace of God) in the
Profession and defence of the Protestant Religion and your
Majesty's Title and interest against the French and other
Papists that oppose and trouble us in soe just and good a
cause not doubting but your Majestys wisdom and clemency
will afford unto us all needful suitable Aid and Protection for
securing our Religion, lives and liberty under Protestant Gov-
ernors and Government, and for enabling us to defend our-
selves against all Invaders. Thus praying for your Majestys
long and happy Reigne over us, Wee know ourselves to bee
(with due Reverence and sincerity.)
Your Majestys Loyall Obedient and
humble Subjects
