A LETTER Agreed unto, and subscribed by, the Gentlemen, Ministers, Freeholders and Seamen of the County of SUFFOLK. Presented to His EXCELLENCY, The Lord general MONCK.  
May it please your Excellency,  
THAT our own hearts may not accuse us of a Negligence and supineness, unbecoming those Distempers we languish under, 'tis our desire, that this Application, humbly and affectionately tendered, may be received, as the Effect of a just and serious Resentment. To us, at this distance, the God of Heaven seems to prompt you to do Nobly, by depositing in your hands a full and happy Opportunity, such as conspires to promote those Ends, which are worthy and generous. Your Lordship will need no other Incitements, than the public Concern, and contriving an abiding Ornament to your Name. It must needs be tedious, to see Government reeling from one Species, from one hand to another. We apprehend it much in your power to fix it. Are our Sacred or civil Liberties dear to us? They solicit a Restitution to their legal Boundaries. Let your Lordship cast your eyes upon a Nation, impoverished, disfigured, bleeding under an intestine Sword: Let its agonies, its miseries, its ruins, implore your assistance. To our sense, the only redress, under God, lies in a Free and Full PARLIAMENT, whereunto our Ancestors recoursed in resembling Exigencies. And lest your Lordship should suspect these to be our own solitary thoughts, we are not ashamed to acknowledge, that the Presentments of several Grand-Juries, and the desires of the seamen in this County, urged this address; which shall be pursued with all due testimonies of a cordial Adhesion to your Lordship in order thereunto.  
This Letter was delivered at St. Albans, Jan. 28. 1659. by Sir Henry Felton baronet, Robert Brook, and William Bloys Esquires.
