And wee againe by vertue of the said Charter (as it enjoyned us) have alwayes paid our obedience to the said Lord Baltemore and his honorable Father, by whom equally and indifferently were justice, favour, authority & preferment administered, bestowed, conferred and given to and upon your Majestie's subjects of all perswasions: Doe in prostrate and humble manner testifie to your Majesty that we abhorr & detest the falsehood and unfaithfullness of John Coadeand others his Associates and Agents, who first by dispersing untrue reports of prodigious armies of Indians and French Papists invadeing us, did stirr up unjust jealousies and dismall apprehensions in the less cautious sort of people of this Province, and then haveing thereby created unnecessary feares & disposed the people to mutiny and tumult, made further insurrection, and extorted the lawfull government from the Lord Proprietary, who, was alwayes as ready to redress our aggrievances as wee to complaine. And now the said John Coade and his accomplices haveing assumed the Government upon themselves, and procured a Convention to be tumultuously assembled, did tyrannically imprison, restrain' and turn out of civill and military Comission severall of your Majestie's good subjects of unquestionable loyalty and affection to the Church of England, who approved nott of his actions, and who might justly by your Majestie's proclamation have continued in authority, and done your Majestie's good service. And those Delegates in that manner convened, (being part or most of them factious persons of no comendable life and conversation) have arbitrarily decreed and ordained many things to the inconvenience of your Majestie's people, placed the Militia of severall Counties in the hands of unworthy and infamous persons; and the better to make their decrees to be observed, many of the said Delegates have procured themselves to be putt in judiciall places, to the terror of your Majestie's more peaceable subjects. From the dangers and apprehensions whereof, Wee your Majestie's most loyall, dutyfull, and Protestant subjects, in these our Addresses humbly crave by your Princely care and prudence to be freed and enlarged, and that the Government together with your Majestie's favour and a lasting settlement may be again restored to the Rt. Honorable Lord Baltemore, which will make him and us happy, and give us new occasion to bless God, and pray for your Majestie's life and happy reign.
