They magnified the king's mercy and favour, and made great protestations of fidelity and 715gnttitude. Many promised to endeavour, that sudi persons should be dMMien to serve in parliament, as OP KING JAMES II. 17» should concur with the king in the enacting what 108^ he now granted so graciously. Few concurred in those addresses : and the persons that brought them up were mean and inconsiderable. Yet the court was lifted up with this. The king and his priests werC' delighted with these address...es out of measure : and they seemed to think that they had gained the nation, and had now conquered those who were hi- therto their most irreconcileable enemies. The king made the cruelty of the church of England the common subject of discourse. He reproached them for setting on so often a violent persecution of 'the dissenters. He said, he had intended to have set on this toleration sooner; but that he was restrained by some of them, who had treated with him, and had undertaken to shew favour to those of his reli- gion, provided they might be still suffered to vex the dissenters.
