A Petition to his Majesty.

KING, I was your Messenger impostened in God's will concern­ing your return to this place so soon again: I was laid harbourless that same year that I saw the Vision of your return to England a­gain. I do desire some liberty for my own practice of my own houshold Ordinances, as I was chosen Messenger of your return again, and saw it Ju­stice that you should have this Land again, so you do not oppress the weak spirits of God's Majesty in his Saints, but let them have recourse in whatsoever passion God shall be pleased to raise himself in his Ministers; So I my selfe shall stand a mother in God's house in these cases: I shall also intreat some liberty concerning my labour on your Jewish Sabbath. I dour­terly defie all Jewish forms of Religion: or keeping any one day above a­nother; for in so doing you keep out the profession of Christ's, natures practice: So you may be left damned souls as the Jewish people was, which was alwaies requiring a Saviour, and yet at last themselves left Va­gabonds, for want of the true Spirit to serve them with wisdom, and the supply of God's will in his Christ, which God had sent to be their Teacher and Saviour, both in his son and Apostles: so you will be left in the same passion, as your standing is now in these Nations, being divided in service, and all confusion, which will breed a speedy destruction, except you will adhere to let the Saints make themselves a body in Christ's passion: and you your self must stand Protector of these occasions: So your Country will be blessed with this presence, more then any parts of the Dominions of the world besides you; So the Saints will have their Prerogative, and your souls will have salvation by their presence, and your blessings will abound more then other Nations, as you shall consent to these Propositions: So I rest, Christ's Minister in this present hour,

Amen. Ahivah's Petition to his Majesty for the Saints Liberties.
So I rest, Your Minister, if you please to accept of my office in Christ's name, AHIVAH.

I shall also intreat, that whensoever God shall be pleased to manifest any of his fore-speaking words, and they be brought forth to cry it in the open street, or any place of City or Counry, that you will grant some Pro­tection by Constables, or some other means, that they be not abused in such conditions, as I my self have been; as being cast into Bedlam that same year for a mad body, when I had the sight of the return of your Majesty to this place again: And if my Father, God Almighty, had not made a way in my self to get me out of their hands, I had been destroied for a mad body: For these conditions of God's action are strange to your worlds understanding, in the time of God's action in us.

The World, and the Worlds Minister.
