The following Address being prepared is read & approved of
To the Right Honourable the Lord Proprietary
The humble Address of your Lordships Governor and
Council of Maryland.
My Lord
We beg Leave to approach your Lordship with a perfect
Sense of Our Loss by the Death of Our late Noble Lord Pro-
prietary: But We must at the same time express Our Joy in
a Succession which from your Lordships many good Qualities
and prudent Choice, in so fitly placing the general Superin-
tendency of Affairs during a Minority opens an early Prospect
of every happiness which a People can reasonably desire
under a just and indulgent Government
That most grateful Regard We owe to the Memory of his
late Lordship whose strongest Wishes centered in the Welfare
of this Province, and Our sincere Attachment to your own
Person and real Interest engage Us to assure to your Lord-
