Date

[1689]

Description

I item, formerly fo. 77 in CO 5/718/1. Address of the Protestant inhabitants of Calvert County, Maryland, to the King and Queen. We rejoice at your Majesties' accession and assure you of our loyalty. Several persons calling themselves Protestants have overturned the government of Lord Baltimore and have termed us worse than Papists for our refusal to join with them. Merchants in London are capable of giving an account of our plight. We have been threatened with armed force and carried off to prison, sometimes without cause shown. We pray either that Lord Baltimore's government may be restored or that the province may be settled by some other means. Signed by Geo. Lingan and 103 others
