To The Right Honourable Convention.  
GEntlemen, Though you have a New Name, yet I hope you are not all New Members, but most of you I hope, are Sons of that Blessed Church of England, that has been always unstained for Loyalty: And now it is the Wisdom of God to try Loyalty by Popery, I hope the Lord will give you such Wisdom to Distinguish between Loyalty and Popery, that you may retain your Loyalty to the End; and I doubt not but You will obtain a Crown of Reward: And though there may be many things said against the King, yet do by him as you would have God do by you, and consider that he has been misled by strangers, as many Men has been misled by strange women, yet they are not willing their Wivei should turn them out of doors and take other Husbands, tho' they might do it by the Law, yet People would think such to be Bad Women: But I consider that He was Son to that Pious Prince whom spite and malice slay, and Brother to my Precious sovereign under whose Wings you had Peace and Plenty, and for their Sakes as well as for his Own, I love him although I never loved Popery: and therefore I made Application to the King from Time to Time, to forbear Promoting it, for I loved the King and Kingdoms Peace. But since it is so, I beseech Your Honours, not to add greater Sins to lesser; least at last you be without Hope:  
Therefore I humbly beseech You to make Application to the Lords, that there may be a Fast for Your better Direction in this Great Affair,( and because Mens Hearts are not prepared, that there may be Three Days Preparation before the Fast) that You may find Grace and Favour before God that He may Direct You, that all your Doings may be for His Glory, and the Good of the King and Kingdom; for you know that God would not allow the Children of Israel to go a whoring after other gods, neither is it His Will that your minds should run upon another king, but that You must Love Him, and Pray for Him, and wherein He has done Amiss, You must Pardon Him as you would have God Pardon You, Beseeching God to Convince and Convert Him, and be not Faithless but Believing: and in so Doing, You will oblige Her who Wishes not any Thing above Your Present and Eternal Happiness.  
ELINOR JAMES.
