To
MY
DREAD
SOVERAIGN
,
THE
KINGS
MOST
Excellent
MAIESTIE
.
May
it
please
your
Matie
,
AS
one
,
whose
heart
(
amongst
many
thousands
)
bleeds
with
the
sad
thoughts
of
the
wofull
Divisions
of
our
deare
Fellow-Subjects
;
and
unfainedly
pitties
the
mis-guidance
of
those
poore
well-meaning
soules
amongst
them
,
whose
credulity
hath
heedlesly
betray'd
them
into
a
zealous
errour
;
I
have
let
fall
these
few
Propositions
;
which
I
have
presumed
to
set
downe
,
not
as
in
the
way
of
a
Challenger
;
for
,
most
(
if
not
all
)
of
them
are
such
,
as
be
not
capable
of
Contradiction
;
but
rather
of
a
faithfull
Remembrancer
to
my
dear
Brethren
,
of
those
Points
which
they
cannot
but
know
,
and
yeeld
:
as
well
supposing
,
that
nothing
but
meer
want
of
consideration
can
be
guilty
of
this
perillous
distraction
,
in
them
,
who
professe
to
love
their
King
,
and
the
Truth
.
Now
the
good
God
of
heaven
open
the
eyes
and
hearts
of
us
all
,
that
we
may
both
see
,
and
be
sensible
of
the
invaluable
blessing
of
our
peace
,
and
the
happy
freedome
of
his
Gospel
,
which
we
doe
comfortably
enjoy
under
Your
MAIESTIES
sweet
and
religious
Government
,
to
the
wonder
,
and
envie
of
all
other
Nations
;
and
compose
the
hearts
of
all
your
Native
Subjects
to
meet
Your
MAIESTIES
most
gracious
indulgence
,
with
all
humble
thankefulnesse
.
And
the
same
God
forbid
that
any
of
us
should
be
weary
of
our
happiness
:
and
be
drawne
to
doe
any
act
that
may
(
before
all
the
world
)
poure
shame
upon
our
holy
profession
;
whose
chiefe
glory
it
hath
alwayes
hitherto
beene
to
render
us
still
loyall
and
obedient
,
and
in
this
very
regard
,
to
triumph
over
the
false
religion
of
our
opposites
.
Such
shall
be
ever
the
prayers
of
Your
Maties
most
humble
,
and
faithfull
Subject
,
and
ancientest
Chaplain
,
