PLEASE you to accept this Paper as a testimony, that we are highly and gratefully sensible of those Breathings and Essaies towards Peace, which your Renowned City has lately declared to the World: And we earnestly wish, that our serious and unanimous Concur­rence, may ripen them to a perfect Accomplishment. We are wil­ling to consider it as an Omen of Mercy, when we observe the Nation in generall, lifting up its Vowes to Heaven for a Free and Full PARLIAMENT. 'Tis that alone, in its Genuine Sense, which our Laws prescribe and present to us, as the great Patron and Guardian of our Persons, Liberties, and Proprietics, and whatsoever else is justly pretious to us. And if God shall, by your hand, lead us to such an ob­tainment, after-Ages shall blesse your Memory. 'Tis superfluous to spread before you, your Merchandise decay'd, your Trade declin'd, your Estates wither'd. Are there not many within your Walls, or near them, that in your ears deplore such mi­series as these? Your Lordship may believe, that our Prayers and Persons shall glad­ly promote all lawfull means for our Recovery. And we entreat, that this cheerfull suffrage of ours may be annex'd, as a Labell to your Honourable Intendments.
