To the Parliament of England , THat you have made the Earth to shake , and the Seas to tremble under you : ( even Earthly men , and Seas of their Traditions ) the power of the Lord is magnified , and you are highly honoured . Would you now die like men , or live like the Sons of God ? Remember whereto you are exalted . Remember from whence you are fallen . Do the first works , and let the last be better then the first . Take off every burthen , and let the oppressed go free . Your Navy shall be maintained , freedom of Trade regained , Impost and Customs cased : Your Armies shall be duly paid , Assesment and 〈…〉 . Let but the people ( who chose you ) chuse 2. Out of each Remotest — & 4. out of each well-affected County : ( not Cavaliers least they offend you , not Committee — nor long Gown'd-men , lest they offend them ; but un-byassed , un-interressed Gentlemen or Yeomen ) and let the Souldier ( whom you chose ) chuse one or more out of every Regiment , to consult and judge with you , concerning the proposals to be offered . If it succeed , you may be established . If it faile , yet may you gather in the dispersed thoughts and wisdom of the Nation and obtain help and assistance for those great affaires which multiply and oppress you . Neverthelsse , I freely offer my life the pawn of my confidence in the success , if you are pleased to put it to the tryal , If not , yet have I discharged my Duty and Engagement ; but , in despising the day of small things , Armies will be increased upon you , and murmurings against you : as Taxes and Assesments on the people . Great mischiefs happen but once . The Poor Mans Advocate would have prevented all . I have lost , I have suffered many things ; You have given , you have granted me nothing . Yet smile , and vote me Your Sober Friend , and humble Servent in the Lord , PETER CHAMBERLAIN . 10. April 1651.
