<HEAD>TO THE SOULDIERY.</HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>Gentlemen, and my beloved Brethren.</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>_I Cannot, nor ever &s;hall I endeavour to hide or deprive of their due Prai&s;es, tho&s;e godly Lights which have &s;hined among&s;t you, in the Armies of <HI>England, Scotland,</HI> and <HI>Ireland;</HI> who by their many ex|amples of Valour, Equity, Wi&s;edom, Magna|nimity, Dexterity, and other excellent Virtues, are beyond all parallel: But I mu&s;t withal let you know, That to Judge of them &s;oundly and aright, both you and I, and every particular man of the
<PB N="2" REF="3"> three Nations, mu&s;t fly to the Father of all Lights, who u&s;ing the&s;e great and worthy Per&s;onages for the building, pre&s;ervation, or encrea&s;e of this E&s;tate, hath enriched them with great and preci|ous Graces; that acknowledging him the Author as well of the&s;e Virtues, as of the happy &s;ucce&s;s of things manged by them; we all may learn to yeild him homage, for the pre&s;ervation, continu|ance, and encrea&s;e of this Common-wealth.</P>
<P>Suppo&s;e we then, that the&s;e former goodly Lights &s;hould now appear, as &s;o many terrible flaming Comets, or degenerate into &s;uch &s;parkling Fire|brands, as would in a moment fill the&s;e three Na|tions with inte&s;tine Flames, and unnatural Com|bu&s;tions; Would not you who are the Souldiery of the&s;e three Nations, wi&s;ely con&s;ider with your &s;elves, what you went about, before you would force the poor people of the&s;e Nations, to be|come fre&s;h Fewel to &s;uch Infernal Flames? and would you not hear Rea&s;on, and con&s;ult with good Coun&s;el and Advice, before you ra&s;hly made your &s;elves, the In&s;truments of &s;uch lamen|table Effects which would &s;hortly follow?</P>
<P>Let me tell you then, That hearing with grief of heart, the Divi&s;ions which are noi&s;ed abroad, and like to happen among&s;t us, by occa&s;ion of &s;ome of the great Officers of your Armies; I thought it high time to come forth, and to repre&s;ent unto you the dargerous inconveniencies, which may happen by &s;uch alccrations, which vvill fill each
<PB N="3" REF="3"> Town with Confu&s;ion, our Neighbour States with Scorn and Deri&s;ion, and every other N<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">ti|on with bad Examples: Therefore in the fir&s;t place, I earne&s;tly de&s;ire you all, That you would unanimou&s;ly entreat, and humbly reque&s;t your Heads and Officers, to lay a&s;ide all &s;pleen and animo&s;ity, and to be reconciled to their Heads and Governors: For you, all of you, &s;ufficient|ly know tho&s;e mi&s;eries which do accompanie the Torrents of Inte&s;tine War and Di&s;&s;ention.</P>
<P>Contemn not therefore this good Coun&s;el; but receive it with the re&s;pect and reverence which is due to &s;o great a Common-wealth; and with the &s;ame good will vvhich you have &s;hewed at the fir&s;t, &s;o continue it unto the end.</P>
<P>All things are yet in good E&s;tate, and may conti|nue &s;o if you will; for, by the Grace of God, your Troubles are no ways come to irreconcilable Extremities. 'Tis too true, you are too much be|hinde with your pay; yet I hope you will not &s;o far prefer your Profit before Rea&s;on, as to force your Magi&s;trates, and fright their Mini&s;ters and People, to &s;ubmit to your wills and plea&s;ures; &s;eeing they are all of them re&s;olved (if you hold but your hands) to pay you all &s;peedily, and with their thankful acknowledgment of your good &s;er|vices, further to honour and advance you. Per|&s;wade therefore (if po&s;&s;ible) your Officers and Commanders, to leave their conceived hatred and &s;pleen, and to lay a&s;ide their pa&s;&s;ions, and
<PB N="4" REF="4"> with quiet &s;pirits, to con&s;ider of all inconvenien|cies of Times, Places, and Per&s;ons. You &s;ee we are now in peace, almo&s;t through the three Nati|ons; and will you be the fir&s;t to &s;ound the Trum|pet to begin a new VVar? VVould you that your Native Country &s;hould &s;erve as a Theater, to add a bloody Cata&s;trophe, to our late pa&s;t Trage|dies? Alas! you are all in the &s;ame Ve&s;&s;el, in the &s;ame Enclo&s;ure, breathing the &s;ame Ayr, u&s;ing the &s;ame Tongue, and the &s;ame Laws and Cu|&s;tomes: And be a&s;&s;ured, That tho&s;e vvhom you or your Commanders, do now repute for your Adver&s;aries, are your fellow Subjects, your Neighbors, your Kinsfolke, your Brethren, and and Members of the &s;ame Body: And though your Opinions be diver&s;e, touching matters of Religion, yet your VVills &s;hould be united for the good of the Common-wealth. To this end, let me entreat you once more, to entreat your Offi|cers and Commanders again, and again, to aban|don all tho&s;e pernitious Coun&s;els, which pre&s;ent nothing unto them, but through the fal&s;e &s;ight of Opinion and Choler, and vvhich vvill plunge them into a Gulf of Mi&s;eries at the la&s;t; and in|vite them all by your examples, to embrace uni|on and concord, vvhich is the foundation and root of all the re&s;t, the Nur&s;e of Peace, the Con&s;olation of good Subjects, and a plentiful Harve&s;t of all good Things.</P>
<P>And as for your particulars, let me &s;eriou&s;ly
<PB N="5" REF="4"> and &s;ea&s;onably advi&s;e you all, &s;till to remain in the Port of this Concord, where the State doth gu<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">de us all, after &s;o many Storms and Temp<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">&s;ts; and where both you and we &s;hall be a&s;&s;ured. <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">he Sea doth no harm to Ships that have good An|chors: Now Obedience is the Anchor which doth a&s;&s;ure out Ship again&s;t the fury of both VVinds and VVaves; it is that which gives l<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">fe and motion to all the members of the Body; and there is not a more certain &s;igne of the life of a Common|vvealth, then this Obedience.</P>
<P>Let us all therefore &s;tand and wait the provi|dence which almighty God hath apointed, which ordinance neither Enemies can hinder, nor Friends advance; and therefore the direction of this Truth, ought to teach you all to Sail in this Sea, every man in his Place and Office, as he ought, and ac|cording to his Degree and Command among&s;t you, expecting a more happy Harbour, by the bounty and wi&s;dom of him that rules the VVaves of humane Confu&s;ions, as the Soveraign Judge, holding in his hands both the hearts and the events of all things.</P>
<P>I &s;hall conclude with the Exhortation of <HI>Mo&s;es</HI> the General of I&s;rael, to his both Spiritual and Temporal Souldiers, in the&s;e words, <HI>And</HI> Mo&s;es <HI>&s;aid unto the People, Fear ye not, &s;tand &s;till, and &s;ee the &s;alvation of the Lord, which he will &s;hea to you to|day.</HI> Exod. 14. 13.</P>
