<P>His Excellency the Lord Gen. <HI>Cromwel,</HI> hath taken into con&s;ideration the grievous and heavy burden of the people, and hath propo&s;ed away for the &s;peedy re|dre&s;s of all their calamities and troubles; by taking off Taxes, Exci&s;e, and other oppre&s;&s;ures, which for many years they have groaned under: This, &s;o &s;oon as other weighty bu&s;ine&s;&s;es are determined, will be taken into &s;erious con&s;ultation and debate, which will be a Me&s;|&s;age of great joy, and welcom tydings both to City and Country.

A work very acceptable and &s;atisfactory both to the People and Souldiery. As for example, no &s;ooner had the <HI>Athenians</HI> freed them&s;elves from the tyranny of <HI>Pi&s;i&s;tratus</HI> their <HI>King;</HI> but in a &s;hort time they were mightily augmented to exceeding great riches.
