Address of Bailiers Aldermen and City Leaders Pay Homage to the King
The text presents a drawn out royal address from the Bailiers Aldermen and inhabitants of Maldon Essex praising King George II. It denounces sedition, uprisings, and the pretender while pledging loyalty, defense of religion and laws, and continued zeal for the king's person and government. It includes lines from Lincoln and mentions the Society of Ancient Britons and Wales in support of the monarch. It expresses gratitude for providence, calls for unity, and vows to uphold laws and suppress riotous assemblies. The document reflects late 17th or early 18th century loyalist sentiment amid political unrest.
