His MAJESTIES most Gracious ANSWER.

Gentlemen,

I Thank You heartily for Your Address, some of You know, (I am sure You do Mr. Pen,) that it was always My Principle, that Conscience ought not to be Forced. And that all Men ought to have the Liberty of Their Consciences: And what I have Promis'd in My Declara∣tion, I will continue to Perform as long as I Live; And I Hope, before I Die, to Settle It so, that After Ages shall have no Reason to alter It.

FINIS.
