<HEAD>THE DECLARATION Of the GENTRY of the County of KENT, Who have adhered to the <HI>KING,</HI> and &s;uffered <HI>Impri&s;onment</HI> or <HI>Seque&s;tration</HI> during the late Troubles.</HEAD>
<P>_WHereas it hath plea&s;ed Almighty God, after &s;o many Trialls and &s;o long Di&s;traction, to rai&s;e us to large hopes of Re&s;ettlement of this Nation upon Ju&s;t, Known, and la&s;ting Foundations: We therefore de&s;ire from our Hearts to render to God the glory of his Mercies, and a full tribute of Honour to his Excellency the Lord General <HI>Monck,</HI> who hath been &s;o eminently In&s;trumental in the&s;e beginnings of Deliverance.</P>
<P>And fora&s;much as we under&s;tand that &s;ome malicious and de&s;perate per&s;ons (regard|ing neither the mercies of God nor the mi&s;eries of their Countrey) have endeavoured to beget a pernicious Jealou&s;ie, That <HI>tho&s;e who adhered to the King do &s;till retein a &s;pirit of Revenge again&s;t all that were of a contrary Party:</HI> We do therefore declare in the pre&s;ence of God, that we utterly abhor all Revengeful Thoughts and Actions again&s;t any Party or Per&s;ons what&s;oever. And as we have great rea&s;on to wi&s;h tho&s;e Divi&s;ions had never been <HI>born,</HI> &s;o we hope and will do our utmo&s;t they may never be <HI>remembred,</HI> and &s;hall look on all per&s;ons as the wor&s;t and Common Enemies of this Nation that &s;hall offer to <HI>revive</HI> them. In pur&s;uance whereof we further Declare (as his <HI>Excellency's</HI> Army hath given us a noble Example) that we will thankfully acquie&s;ce in the Re&s;olutions of the next en|&s;uing <HI>Parliament</HI> for a due and ju&s;t &s;ettlement of <HI>Church</HI> and <HI>State.</HI></P>
