TO HIS EXCELLENCY General Monck.  
The Humble PETITION of the LADY LAMBERT,  
Showeth,  
THat being Alienated from John Lambert Esq-through his faint heartedness, who (like unfortunate Jack) hath lost one thing after another, and having notice of your Excellencies advance, your Dejected Handmaid would be humbled before you, and submissively lie down in any posture, Nature or Aretine has invented. The Whorish variety and inconstancy of Fortune by which your Petitioner has been dallied, whilst the Coy Gipsy reserved her last favour to another, hath now twice Lambertized her in the attempt of sovereignty, & has made her so Green-sick of the conceit, that she hath scraped down most of the Walls of Wimbleton House to feed Her crazy Appetite, before the Parliament do sell or dispose of it.  
Now so it is may it please your Excellency that your Petitioner doth also most Exceedingly Long after some Scotch oatmeal out of your own Pockets, (for She hath understood it's the custom of that Nation to March so furnished) and She will make you as good Bonny-Clapper as ever was in King Harry the Fight his Court, and far exceeding the French barley Broth in Bloomsbery.  
And that your excellency may not deem this a presumption, She dares assure you, She hath been more Familiar with Oliver, out of whose Breeches she had the Instrument of Government: But what Fascinating power hath so strongly obliged her Affections to your Person, since She never Loved any that Loved a Parliament, Mrs Peele cannot inform Her. To spea●k Ingenuously, to see such fine things as Glory and Honour, and Highnessing, as it were Ravished from me in my sight, would make an Honest Man a Whore, much rather a frail and Imbecile Woman: And therefore let not your famed Chastity be offended while your Petitioner-sollicites thus for herself, for so did that Renowned Lady Elizabeth Claypoole, and old Potiphar' Wife, and so do the Wiser & Gallanter sort of our Sex. Your excellency hath already laid my husband's Courage, 'twill be easy Work to cool Mine.  
Your suitor Humbly prays your Excellency, not to put Her to the needless, frivolous, and dangerous delays of a treaty, for so you fooled Her Husband, nor dispute of preliminaries when the Entrance is open; She will yield upon any terms, take bag and Baggage. Come then and see a fine Picture at Wimbleton (which would make even General Blake himself a Woman-lover) for She is as unacquainted and discommoded with the private retreats of Whitehal as your Excellency: and that there may be no manner of Obstruction to so good a work, She will procure a Dispensation from Pope Joan.  
In Jovi● Consideration of the premises, may it please your Excellency to make your Petitioner Mistress of requests according to the Pattern of Jane Shore in the Reign of Edward the Fourth: and upon Solemn days as your entertainment Feast in London ('tis an alderman's Opinion) to hold up your Lady's Train, for it being like to be dirty it will save Rubbing Brushes; and to admit her to be of Her privy council, and chief Woman of Attire, to make her Mind as well as her dress Fashionable and Conformable to her greatness  
And your Petitioner shall ever pray, &c.
