And  tbe  Proteftant  DilFrnting  Mlnifters  of  the  City  of  DfMn^  and

Souih  of  Jrela^  agree  with  their  Brethren  In  the  NDrch^   in  giving
t\^famc  Jfaranci  to  her  Majefty,  as  appears  by  their  Printed  Ad-^
die^  in  Aaf«?er  to  the  Reprefentacion  of  the  Convocation.    And  tko*
