The people of New-England having made a thorough Revolution, and secured the public Criminals. On Thursday last, the Reverend and Learned Mr. Mather, President of the College, and Minister of Boston, waited on the King; and in a most Excellent Speech laid before His Majesty, the State of that People; saying, That they were sober, and Industrious, and fit for Martial Service; and all with their Lives and Interests were at His Majesties Command, to tender the same unto His Majesty: That they desired nothing but His Majesties Acceptance of what they had done, and His Protection; and that if His Majesty pleased to encourage and Commission them, He might easily be Emperor of America. His Majesty assured him, that He was pleased with what was done for Him, and for themselves in the Revolution, and that their Privileges and Religion should be secured unto them.
