A Letter from a Gentleman at King's-Lynn, December 7. 1688. To his Friend in London.
Sir,
THE Duke of Norfolk came to Town on Wednesday Night, with many of the chiefest of the County; and yesterday in the Market-place received the Address following, which was presented by the Mayor, attended by the Body, and many hun∣dreds of the Inhabitants.
To his Grace the most Noble Henry Duke of Norfolk, Lord Marshal of England.
My Lord,
THE daily Allarms we receive, as well from Foreign as Domestick Enemies, give us just Apprehensions of the approaching Danger which we conceive we are in; and to apply with all earnestness to your Grace as your great Patron, in all humble Confidence to succeed in our Expectations, That we may be put into such a posture by your Grace's Directions and Conduct, as may make us appear as zea∣lous as any in the Defence of the Protestant Religion, the Laws and Ancient Govern∣ment of this Kingdom. Being the desire of many hundreds, who must humbly cal∣lenge a Right of your Grace's Protection.
