tion of our late Governor's Conduct, after so long Experience of his
faithful Service, He can derive no additional Commendation from a
Rep[et]ition of our Eulogy.
Permit us, my Lord, most unfeignedly to assure you, that the
appointment of M.r Eden, a Gentleman so much Endeared to you
by the nearest Tyes of Affinity, Friendship, and Affection, and who
has given the most agreeable and engaging Proofs of his conciliating
Affability, and Inclination to make the People under his Government
happy, Affords us the Highest Satisfaction.
We want words to express the lively Sense we entertain of Your
Lordships Goodness, so eminently displayed in your recommending
to both Houses the Improvement of your Province, and the Advance-
ment of its Happiness, and most sincerely wish, that so fair and
encouraging an Invitation from your Lordship, by attracting as it
ought the general Attention to Subjects of general Utillity, may
utterly extinguish every Spark of Party Animosity, and raise and
invigorate that benef[ic]ent Spirit which is emulous only of pro-
moting the Publick Happiness.
We beg your Lordship to rest assured, that, as we hold it to be on
all Occasions our inviolable Duty, so we shall, with the most resolved
and unalterable Firmness, vindicate your just Rights and Preroga-
tives, nor shall any reproaches ever deter us from an uniform and
Steady Pursuit of this Principle, upon which, too, the real and
essential Interest of the People depend, whose Good Opinion we
would rather Chuse to deserve than to have without deserving it

butions of Duty Affection and Gratitude.
