humbly hoping that our Gracious Queen will be pleased to
continue you long in this Government over us.

We are very sensible of the great and dangerous Designs
which have been carrying on by wicked People Enemies to her

munition, this Town, and all that was necessary to render this
Governmt safe and secure, and we do in a very deep sense
thereof return you our hearty Thanks for the great Care and
Prudence you have shewed in the Preservation of all those
