TO HIS EXCELLENCIE The Lord General MONCK ; The humble Gratulation and Acknowledgement of Colonel Robert Broughton , and several others his Counrrey-men . May it please your EXCELLENCIE ,

THe Anguish of our sufferings ( like that of the Children of Israel in Egypt ) being of late aggrevated by circumstances neither supportable in themselves , nor proportionable to our crimes , if it be a crime to have endeavoured the asserting of our native Rights ( as men and Christians ) and your Excellencie ( by happy providence ) having taken off our Shackles , and led us to a prospect of Freedom : Let it be permitted us modestly to hope , that we shall not alwaies languish under a malignant constellation : but that the Spirit of true Brittaines , Lovers of our Country appearing in us , we may at length be Cordially embraced , as really such our obligations are doubled upon us , by your Excellencie in not onely having rescued our possessions , but our liberties , and therein given us the meanes of further manifesting our integrity .

Wherefore that this , which we humbly propound ( as a Testimony of our Gratitude ) may not passe to you , under ambiguous representations ; we assume the boldnesse to declare , that no sort of people in these Nations bear either more fervour to your best interest , or a more entire submission to the freedome of Parliaments rightly constituted then .

Your Excellencie's most obliged and humble Servants Iohn Owen . Robert Broughton . Richard Middleton . Richard Broughton . William Broughton . Oliver Broughton . Andrew Middleton . Iohn Lloyd . Edward Iones . Edward Philips . William Philips . Roger Iones . Iohn Salsburie . Iohn Edwards . Iohn Dowleben . Hugh Bennaut . Rich. Iones . Oliver Thomas . Tho. Prichard . David Davis . Richard Lloyd . Rice Powell . Hugh Butler . Alexander Langhorn . Thomas Vaughan . Iohn Lloyd . Hugh Meridith . Edmund Meyrich . Cadwal . Winn. Roger Arthur .

This was presented to his Excellencie the 23 day of March , 1659. by Col. Robert Broughton , and some of them whose Names are hereunto subscribed , for the which he and they had his Excellencies thanks for their good affections , and willed the said Colonel to give the rest of the Gentlemen who had subscribed the said Gratulation and Acknowledgement , thanks accordingly .
