A LETTER Sent from Colonel John Disbrowe, Superscribed, To the Right honourable, the Speaker of the Parliament of this Common-wealth, These Present, at Westminster.  
Right honourable,  
IT having pleased God( I hope out of good will to these( of late distracted) Nations) to bring the Parliament again to the Exercise of Their Trust, in the Government of these Nations, I thought it my Duty to Acquaint You, That I cheerfully, and with much quietness of mind, acquiesce in the Providence of God therein: And that I may take away all occasions of Jealousies of me, I shal be ready to give the Parliament any possible Assurance of my cordial and faithful Submission to Their Authority: And if I had any hand in Their late Interruption, I shall beg pardon for it of the Lord: I am sure I have no self-ends, or evil purposes in any thing wherein I have appeared. Sir, The Work of the Parliament is Great and Difficult, the Lord give You Strength and wisdom proportionable thereunto, that such a Foundation of Settlement may be laid by You, as the Children yet unborn may have cause to Bless God for. I shall not give You farther trouble, only assure You, That notwithstanding the late unhappy differences, I shall in any capacity approve myself faithful to the Peace of the Common-wealth, and observant of the Commands of the Parliament; and I hope upon Inquiry into the late Directions I gave the Officers of the Regiment( lately mine) You will find me of this temper. I will only add, That if ever hereafter there should be Occasion, none shall more cordially oppose the Common-wealth's Enemies, then,  
Decemb. 29. 1659. Right honourable, Your very Humble Servant, John Disbrowe. Superscribed, To the Right honourable, the Speaker of the Parliament of this Common-wealth, These Present, At Westminster.
