Address of London City Lords to King on Accession
The Dublin Gazette postscript records the Lord Mayor and City of London in Common Council mournfully congratulating the king on his accession and pledging loyalty to protect religion laws and liberties. The Lords Justices transmit the address and promise the king will promote the citys happiness and flourishing trade with steadfast faith. The citys lieutenancy and the Lord Chancellor similarly express loyalty and readiness to defend the monarchs prerogatives against the Pretender.
