The Upper House. 27

To his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
The Humble Address of the Governor and the Upper and Lower
Houses of Assembly of the Province of Maryland.

May it please Your Royal Highness
To Accept Our most Respectfull Congratulations which through
late, yet not less Sincere than those of the rest of his Majestys Sub-
jects on the Joyfull Occasion of Your Royal Highness'^s Happy Mar-
riage
Amidst all the Felicities and blessings which We, as Subjects to
Your Great Father enjoy, We could not be without Apprehensions,
lest those Amiable qualities of Love and Benevolence for Mankind
so Conspicuous in Your Royal Highness should not be transmitted
from your own Royal Person in a Race of Princes who by the bright
Example might Endear themselves to every Subject
This Auspicious Union, Great Sir, of the Illustrious Houses of
Hannover and Saxe Gotha Dispells many of those fears, and Draws
our Wishes nearer to a perfect Completion: A Prospect is opened,
and Our View is Extended by the Strength of Our Hopes and De-
sires to a Succession of Princes, whose Virtues will Shew their De-
scent from Those Two who are now the Comfort and Delight of all
his Majesties Dominions.
May every joy attendant on the Marriage Bed be Redoubled on
Your Royall Highness and Consort, and may Our repeated Occasions
of Rejoyceing on the Births of a numerous Issue afford us a Pleasing
Assurance of the throne of Great Britain never wanting [an] In-
heriter of Your many Excellent Virtues. .
