A LETTER Agreed unto , and subscribed by , the Gentlemen , Ministers , Freeholders and Seamen of the County of SUFFOLK . Presented to His EXCELLENCY , The Lord Generall MONCK . May it please your Excellency ,

THAT our own hearts may not accuse us of a Negligence and Supinenesse , unbecomming those Distempers we languish under , 't is our desire , that this Application , humbly and affectionately tendered , may be received , as the Effect of a just and serious Resentment . To us , at this distance , the God of Heaven seems to prompt you to do Nobly , by depositing in your hands a full and happy Opportunity , such as conspires to promote those Ends , which are worthy and generous . Your Lordship will need no other Incitements , than the publick Concern , and contriving an abiding Ornament to your Name . It must needs be tedious , to see Government reeling from one Species , from one hand to another . We apprehend it much in your power to fix it . Are our Sacred or Civill Liberties dear to us ? They sollicite a Restitution to their Legall Boundaries . Let your Lordship cast your eyes upon a Nation , impoverished , disfigured , bleeding under an intestine Sword : Let its agonies , its miseries , its ruines , implore your assistance . To our sense , the onely redresse , under God , lies in a Free and Full PARLIAMENT , whereunto our Ancestors recours'd in resembling Exigencies . And lest your Lordship should suspect these to be our own solitary thoughts , we are not ashamed to acknowledge , that the Presentments of severall Grand-Juries , and the desires of the Sea-men in this County , urged this Addresse ; which shall be pursued with all due testimonies of a Cordiall Adhesion to your Lordship in order thereunto .

This Letter was delivered at St. Albans , Jan. 28. 1659. by Sir Henry Felton Barronet , Robert Brook , and William Bloys Esquires .
