TO HIS excellency The Lord General MONCK; The humble Gratulation and Acknowledgement of Colonel Robert Broughton, and several others his Counrrey-men.  
May it please your excellency,  
THe Anguish of our sufferings (like that of the Children of Israel in Egypt) being of late aggrevated by circumstances neither supportable in themselves, nor proportionable to our crimes, if it be a crime to have endeavoured the asserting of our native Rights (as men and Christians) and your excellency (by happy providence) having taken off our Shackles, and led us to a prospect of Freedom: Let it be permitted us modestly to hope, that we shall not always languish under a malignant constellation: but that the Spirit of true Britons, Lovers of our Country appearing in us, we may at length be Cordially embraced, as really such our obligations are doubled upon us, by your excellency in not only having rescued our possessions, but our liberties, and therein given us the means of further manifesting our integrity.  
Wherefore that this, which we humbly propound (as a Testimony of our Gratitude) may not pass to you, under ambiguous representations; we assume the boldness to declare, that no sort of people in these Nations bear either more fervour to your best interest, or a more entire submission to the freedom of Parliaments rightly constituted then.  
Your Excellencie's most obliged and humble Servants
