DUBLIN, Number 20.
The following Address of the Roman Catholicks of the City of Corke, having been transmitted to the Earl of Shannon, has by his Lordship been presented to his Grace the Lord Lieutenant.
To his Grace JOHN Duke of Bedford, Lord Lieutenant General and General Governor of Ireland.
The humble Address of the Roman Catholicks of the City of Corke.
May it please your Grace,
We his Majesty's dutiful and faithful subjects, the Roman Catholicks of the City of Corke, humbly beg Leave to congratulate your Grace on the unparallel'd successes which have attended his Majesty's arms, in the prosecution of this just and necessary war.
We are truly sensible of his Majesty's paternal care and tenderness for his kingdom of Ireland. And it is with the deepest sense of gratitude, we acknowledge the protection and indulgence we have experienced under his Majesty's most mild and auspicious reign.
With the greatest indignation do we hear of the threatened hostile invasion of this kingdom, (particularly intended against these coasts) by an enemy, who, grown desperate from repeated defeats, may possibly make that attempt as a last effort, vainly flattered with the imaginary hope of assistance here from the former attachments of our deluded predecessors. But so inconsistent are such schemes with our principles and intentions, that we assure your Grace, in the most solemn manner, we will, to the utmost exertion of our abilities with our lives and fortunes, join in the defence and support of his Majesty's Royal Person and Government against all invaders whatsoever; and will be always ready to concur in such measures, and to act such parts in the defence of this kingdom in common with the rest of his Majesty's subjects, as your Grace in your great wisdom shall be pleased to appoint. And we think ourselves particularly happy, to be under the direction and command of so known an Asserter of Liberty, and so important and distinguished a Governor as your Grace.
We most earnestly wish that his Majesty's arms may be crowned with such a continuance of success, as may enable him to defeat the devices of all his enemies, and obtain a speedy and honourable peace.
