The Humble Address of the Presbyterian Ministers of the said Province.
May it Please Your Excellency.
We his Majesty's Most Dutiful and Loyal Subjects, the Presbyterian Ministers of the Province of New-Jersey, beg Leave, in the most cordial Manner, to Congratulate your Excellency, on the careful Superintendance of Di- vine Providence, in returning you safe, thro' the Perils of the Sea, to your native Land; and particularly, on your Accession to the Government of this Province. And we do this with the greater Pleasure, in that, from our Per- suasion of the Generosity of your Excellency's Senti- ments, we can securely confide in your Readiness to main- tain the Rights and Privileges of our Body inviolate.
As true Religion, a just Reverence for the Divine Maj- esty, not only tends to future Blessedness, but inspires a Dutiful Subjection to the Powers which he has ordained, and bears the most favourable Aspect on the Happiness and Prosperity of the Public; we cannot doubt but your Excellency, after the great Example of your royal con- stituent, will tenderly regard its Interests, and counte- nance the honest Promoters of so salutary a System.
And as a Behaviour becoming the sacred Character we sustain, is what alone can entitle us to your Excellency's protection, and procure your Approbation; we shall make it our main Business to propagate genuine Christianity, the common Religion of sound Protestants; and by incul- cating on his Majesty's Subjects, under our care, the Ne- cessity of Obedience to just Authority, shall do what in us lies, to make your Excellency's Administration easy and prosperous.
That your Excellency may long continue in your ex- alted Station among us, happy in every Relation, and a
-

'The Congratulations of so loyal and valuable Members 'of the Community as are the Presbyterian Ministers of 'this Province cannot but be very acceptable to me.
'I heartily thank you for this Mark of your Respect, 'and the favourable Sentiments you are pleased to express 'in my Behalf : And I assure you that it shall be my con- 'stant Endeavours so far to imitate the great Example of 'my royal Master, as not to omit any Opportunity of pro- 'moting the general Interests of Religion, or of counte- 'nancing those of your particular Profession.'

When it pleased His Majesty graciously to honor me with his Commission for this Government, I considered it as a particular Felicity to be placed in that Station among a People that I knew, and whose general Character is so truly estimable.
Not having received any Commands from the King or

His Ministers, which required your immediate Consider- ation, I postponed the Pleasure of meeting you in your Legislative Capacity, till a Time, that from the best In- formation I could procure, was least likely to interfere with your private Affairs.
Two Events have lately occurred, of great Import to the Welfare of the British Nation, on which you have my most sincere and hearty Congratulations.
The auspicious Birth of a Prince, on a Day ever sacred to Liberty, and the Protestant Cause, cannot but diffuse Joy throughout the King's Dominions, as it gives us the pleasing Prospect of a Continuation to our Poster- ity, of those inestimable Blessings of civil and religious Liberty, which we have enjoyed without Interruption, under the present Royal Family.
The Termination of a long and Burthensome War, by the late Definitive Treaty, is an Event as happy as it is glorious. A Peace is obtained for us by the Suc- cess of His Majesty's Arms, and the Wisdom and Firm- ness of His Councils, that cannot be parallelled for solid national Advantage, by any recorded in the British An- nals, if in those of any other Nation: For indeed how rarely does it happen, that those Powers who have been long engaged in War, find themselves ultimately benefited by it ? Who of all the Princes of Europe, concerned in the late War, in which many of them had almost exhaust- ed their last Resources, has acquired any Addition of Ter- ritory, or any Compensation for Losses sustained, save only our most illustrious Sovereign ? As in every Quar- ter of the Globe he was victorious; so in every Quarter he has retained some important Advantage, which the Na- tion was not in Possession of before. But in this Part of the World, how great and glorious are our national Ac- quisitions ! Instead of confining us to a narrow Seacoast,
192

which the French vainly attempted ever before the War, we see that powerful Nation not only dispossessed of their Encroachments, but of the very Country from whence they encroached: A Country of immense Extent, and which, in our Possession, not only gives effectual Security to these Colonies, but must in a short Time occasion a vast Increase of the Commerce and Power of the British Em- pire. The steady Conduct of this Province during the Course of the War, and its constant Readiness in comply- ing chearfully, according to its Abilities, with every Requisition of the Crown, for promoting the common Ser- vice, must now afford you great Satisfaction in the Reflec- tion, and will ever be remembered highly to your Honour.
Gentlemen of the GENERAL ASSEMBLY;
The Act for the Support of Government being expired, you will of Course take that Matter into Consideration. In the doing of which, I flatter myself, that you will let the Royal Instruction my Predecessors have so often rec- ommended to you on this Head, and which is entered on your Journals, have its proper Weight. And I have not the least Doubt, but that you will likewise do therein what Justice shall appear to you to require, and what is becom- ing the Honour of the Province you represent.
As you reside in different Parts of the Country, you have the best Opportunities of being acquainted with its present Circumstances and Occasions. If any new Laws, or Amendments of old Ones, appear to you to be neces- sary, you may be assured of my ready Concurrence in every Thing consistent with my Duty to the Crown, which I can never depart from, as I am persuaded you would not wish to deviate from yours; since you must be convinced, that one of the surest Means of promoting the Prosperity and Happiness of the People in any Colony, is to obtain and secure, by a truly dutiful Behaviour the Favour of

their Sovereign, from whom they derive Protection in the Enjoyment of their Liberties, Properties, Religion, and every Thing that is valuable.
Gentlemen of the COUNCIL, and Gentlemen of the GEN- ERAL ASSEMBLY;
Let me recommend it to you, now the publick Tranquil- ity is happily re-established to pay an earnest Attention to the Arts of Peace. There are probably some Kinds of valuable Produce, hitherto, but slightly, if at all, attempt- ed, that might, with proper Encouragement, be raised in this Province, and tend much to the Advantage of the In- habitants. Some Improvement might no Doubt be like- wise made in the Navigation of Creeks and Rivers and in the publick Roads. By turning your Thoughts to these Matters, it may be reasonably expected, that many Things will occur, which, if carried into Execution, would prove greatly beneficial not only to the Province, but to the Mother Country.
The Assemblies of this Province have of late Years so distinguished themselves for their general Unanimity, that it seems unnecessary to recommend it to them in their future Proceedings. I shall only observe, that its good Effects have been conspicuous and evident to all, and therefore I hope it will always continue.
As to myself I am fully sensible, it is not what is prom- ised, but what is done, in any Administration, that must finally settle its Character. I shall not therefore begin mine among you by making great Professions: But I hope, in the Course of it, to demonstrate, by Actions, that I think the most effectual Means of approving myself a faithful Servant to my Royal Master is to promote the true Interests of the Province, over which he has done me the Honour to place me, and to increase, by every Means
