Several Jlggiievanccs and Oppressions of His Majesty's Suhjects

in the Colony cf New- York in America, Sheweth:

WHEN the Enemies of tlie Nation had, by their wicked Councils and trayterous Intreagues, brought our Nation to the very Brink of being swallowed up by Popish Svpersf.ition and Arbitrary Government^ it pleased the Almighty God by his wonderful Omnipotence to bring in Peace and settle his Most Sacred M^ijesty, King GEORGE, upon tlie British Throne ; and it is to be hoped, that his Subjects in distant Countries, and in particular those of the Colony of J^ew York may in some Measm-e feel the Influence of his Happy Government, and be in due time relieved from all Oppressions.
