AS we detest with horror the levying of a new VVar , so we desire from our hearts the firm Settlement of a lasting Peace , after so many Applications to the King made by the Parliament , and especially after the last Address , wherein the Houses ( as we humbly conceive ) demand nothing , but what is most Essential to the Safety of the People ; And after the Kings absolute Negative to the last Message of the Honorable Houses , we exceedingly doubt of any Settlement by further Application to the King ; and therefore we do most humbly acknowledge the wisdom and goodness of the Parliament , in resolving to settle the Peace of this poor miserable distracted Nation : And by the Blessing of God ( as in Duty we are bound ) we shall not onely most willingly and chearfully submit and acquiesce in such Settlement , as they in their grave judgements shall finde to be most conduceable to our Peace ; but also in our several places and callings , shall heartily endeavor to promote the same .
