<HEAD>A DECLARATION OF THE NOBILITY AND GENTRY That adhered to the late KING, now re&s;iding in and about the City of <HI>London.</HI></HEAD>
<P>_AFter the mi&s;eries of a Civil War, and the many vain and fruitle&s;s Attempts toward Settlement upon &s;everal intere&s;ts and Imaginary forms of Government, It having plea&s;ed Almighty God by unexpected and wonderfull means to give the&s;e Nations a Probable hope of being re&s;tored to tho&s;e Laws and Priviledges which have been tran&s;mitted to them from their Ance&s;ters,</P>
<P>We do declare, That we think our &s;elves obliged, next to divine Providence to attribute this Glorious work to his Excellency the Lord General <HI>MONCK,</HI> who as he had the Courage to a&s;&s;ert the Publick li|berty, And the Prudence to carry it on again&s;t &s;o many difficulties, has al&s;o had the happine&s;s to lead us thus far through the Wilderne&s;s of Confu&s;ion, without Pa&s;&s;ing the Red Sea of Blood.</P>
<P>And becau&s;e the Enemies of the Publick Peace have indeavoured to repre&s;ent tho&s;e of the late <HI>KING'S Party</HI> as men im|placable, and &s;uch as would &s;acrifice the common Good to their private Pa&s;&s;ions. We do &s;incerely profe&s;s that we do reflect upon our pa&s;t Sufferings as Proceeding from the hand of God, and therefore do not cheri&s;h any violent Thoughts, or Inclina|tions to revenge again&s;t tho&s;e who have been any way In&s;trumental in them; And if the indi&s;cretion of any bitter Spirited Per&s;ons tran&s;ports them to Expre&s;&s;ions contrary to this our Sen&s;e, we utterly di&s;claim them, And de&s;ire that the imputation may Extend no farther then the folly of the offenders.</P>
<P>And we farther declare, that we intend by our Quiet and Peaceable behaviour to te&s;tify our Submi&s;&s;ion to the pre&s;ent Power, as it now re&s;ides in the Council of State, in Expectation of the Future Parliament, upon who&s;e Wi&s;dome and De|terminations we tru&s;t God will give &s;uch a Ble&s;&s;ing as may produce a perfect Settlement both in Church and State.</P>
<P>And as his Excellency hath not cho&s;en the Sandy foundation of Self-concernment, but the firm Rock of National Intere&s;t, whereon to frame our Settlement: It is our hope and Prayer that when the Building comes to be rai&s;ed, it may not like <HI>Rome</HI> have its beginning in the Blood of Brethren, nor like <HI>Babel</HI> be interrupted by the Confu&s;ion of Tongues, but that we may all &s;peak one Language, and be of one name, That all mention of Parties and Factions, and all Rancor and Animo&s;ities may be thrown in and buried like rubbi&s;h under the Foundation.</P>
