<OPENER><SALUTE>Mo&s;t Gratious and Royal Soveraign,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>_IF I had the com|mand of as many Tongues, as Your Maje&s;ty hath of Hearts, I could not expre&s;s the great Joy and Thankfulne&s;s of Your Commons now A&s;&s;embled in Parliament, for Your continual and indefatigable Labor and Pains in repairing and making up our &s;ad Breaches, and compo&s;ing our unhappy Differences; and in particular, for Your late mo&s;t Grati|ous

Declaration concerning <HI>Eccle&s;ia&s;tical Affairs,</HI> wherein Your Maje&s;ty hath pro|vided whole&s;om Food for all clean Stomachs, &s;trong Meat for &s;uch as are able to bear it, allowing them the u&s;e of our Church Li|turgy, together with comely Ve&s;tments, Ornaments, and Ceremonies in the Service and Wor&s;hip of God; as likewi&s;e Milk for tender Babes, di&s;pencing with their Con|formity in &s;uch Matters and Things, as are not &s;o much of the Sub&s;tance and E&s;&s;ence of <HI>Faith</HI> and <HI>Religion,</HI> as of Decency and Be|comingne&s;s; which giveth abundant &s;atisfa|ction to all peaceable, &s;ober minded Men, and &s;uch as are truly Religious: For tho&s;e that are really and truly &s;o, will finde them&s;elves bound ever in <HI>Con&s;cience</HI> to the ob&s;ervation and practice of that excellent Le&s;&s;on taught us by the <HI>Apo&s;tle,</HI> which is, <HI>Sapere ad tempe|rantiam &amp; Spartam ornare,</HI> with a <HI>Vade tu &amp; fac &s;imile.</HI> As for tho&s;e that have foul Sto|machs, or rather foul Hearts, and will be plea&s;ed with nothing, unle&s;s they may have a Licentious Liberty, <HI>Libertatem perditionis,</HI> a Liberty <HI>Legem ponere oculis, minime cogi|tantes quod &s;unt pedes.</HI> Men of turbulent Spirits, and di&s;turbers of the Peace, and Civil Government of Your Nation, Your

Declaration takes no care of them, for they will indeed better de&s;erve Your Maje&s;ties penance and puni&s;hment, then Your pity and indulgence.</P>
<P><HI>Royal Sir,</HI> The end of this humble Ad|dre&s;s at this time is to a&s;&s;ure Your Maje&s;ty, That Your Gratious Declaration doth give general &s;atisfaction; and I am commanded by your Commons now A&s;&s;embled in Par|liament, to pre&s;ent Your Maje&s;ty with as general Thanks; in which they were all u|nanimous, <HI>Nemine contradicente</HI>: And in pur&s;uance of Your Maje&s;ties Directions therein, they have Ordered a Bill to be drawn for that purpo&s;e; which after it hath pa&s;&s;ed the Scrutiny of both Your Hou&s;es of Parliament, they will then humbly beg Your Favor and Leave, to tender it unto Your Maje&s;ty for Your Royal A&s;&s;ent.</P>
<P><HI>Sir,</HI> That Gratious and Pious Di&s;po&s;ition which God hath put into Your Royal Heart of doing Your People good, is the greate&s;t Temporal Ble&s;sing we are capable of here in this World. We mu&s;t confe&s;s Your Ma|je&s;ty hath not onely <HI>Jacobs</HI> voice, but You have likewi&s;e <HI>Jacobs</HI> hands: You have &s;poken kindly unto Your People, and You have handled them gently; and therefore
<PB N="6" REF="4"><!-- PDF PAGE 31 -->
we mu&s;t for ever make it our humble Re|que&s;ts in our daily Prayers unto his Throne of Grace, to be&s;tow upon Your Maje&s;ty <HI>Jacobs</HI> Ble&s;sing, <HI>De rore coeli variaque pin|guedine terrae;</HI> That You may have for Your Portion of the Dew of Heaven, and of the Fatne&s;s of the Earth; <HI>Serviant tibi populi, &amp; incurvent &s;e tibi Nationes, Ho|norem exhibentes.</HI> Let Your People &s;erve You, and let the Nations of the Earth bow down before You: Tho&s;e that cur&s;e You, let them be cur&s;ed; and they that ble&s;s You, let them for ever be ble&s;&s;ed.</P>
