WEE whose names are underwritten cannot but in all humility and gratitude aclowledge the infinite mercy of Almighty God to this Nation in giving such signal testimonies of his goodness towards it, by creating in mens hearts a confidence of the restoration of our native Rights in Church and State, so long suppressed by the ambition and passions of factious and vulgar spirits, and that as we hope without the effusion of more blood, or any farther devastation, He having wonderfully raised for our deliverance, and to the perpetual honour of this County, his Excellency the Lord General monk a person averse from those wicked designs and actions, which others heretofore have practised on us, and to whose courage and conduct these Nations are deeply engaged: And hearing there are a sort of malicious and uncharitable people, who by dispersing false Rumors endeavour to have it believed, that we and others of the KING'S-Party are rather inclined to revenge and faction, then to the settlement of the peace of our country; We therefore do think it our duty to declare to all the World, that we have it not so much as in our thoughts to contrive or do any thing to the prejudice of the public settlement but( forgetting what is past) are resolved cheerfully and unanimously to submit and adhere to the determinations and Acts of Parliament, Praying to God to bless and prosper their councils and proceedings.
