To his Excellency Horatio Sharpe, Esq; Governor and Commander
in Chief in and over the Province of Maryland :
The humble Address of the House of Delegates.
May it please your Excellency,
We, his Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Delegates
of the Freemen of the Province of Maryland, in Assembly convened,
return your Excellency our Thanks for your kind Speech at the
Opening of this Session.
The severe Loss which we have sustained by the Death of our late
most Gracious Sovereign, whose paternal Care We and all our
Fellow-Subjects have so sensibly experienced, fills our Hearts with
the deepest Concern, and we most sincerely condole with your Ex-
cellency on that melancholy Event.
But while we deplore the Loss of so great and good a King, it
affords us the highest Consolation to see the Throne immediately
filled by one of His illustrious Descendants, whose eminent and
princely Virtues are happy Presages of a Continuance of all those
Blessings we have so long enjoyed under the mild and glorious
Reign of His Royal Grandfather; upon which important Occasion,
permit us to offer your Excellency our most hearty Congratulations.
We are fully sensible of the Wisdom of his Majesty's Resolution,
to push the War with Vigour, and shall immediately take under our
Consideration, the Letters you have been pleased to lay before us
