The humble Address of the Magistrates, Ministers and
well-affected Inhabitants of the Town and Parish of
Tiverton.

our share in the griefs, astonishments, and fears
(which like a deluge overflowed all honest hearts) at the sad
news of your Renowned Fathers death. It would be tedious

out of the general hopes and expectations of happy and blessed
days under your Highness Government, and judge our selves
obliged to declare so much; which we chearfully do, and do
hereby unfeignedly congratulate your Highness, Serene,
Plous, and Prudent beginnings, and do bless the Lord, who
hath laid up unthought of Provisions for the good of his
