THE DECLARATION Of the GENTRY of the County of KENT , Who have adhered to the KING , and suffered Imprisonment or Sequestration during the late Troubles .

WHereas it hath pleased Almighty God , after so many Trialls and so long Distraction , to raise us to large hopes of Resettlement of this Nation upon Just , Known , and lasting Foundations : We therefore desire from our Hearts to render to God the glory of his Mercies , and a full tribute of Honour to his Excellency the Lord General Monck , who hath been so eminently Instrumental in these beginnings of Deliverance .

And forasmuch as we understand that some malicious and desperate persons ( regarding neither the mercies of God nor the miseries of their Countrey ) have endeavoured to beget a pernicious Jealousie , That those who adhered to the King do still retein a spirit of Revenge against all that were of a contrary Party : We do therefore declare in the presence of God , that we utterly abhor all Revengeful Thoughts and Actions against any Party or Persons whatsoever . And as we have great reason to wish those Divisions had never been born , so we hope and will do our utmost they may never be remembred , and shall look on all persons as the worst and Common Enemies of this Nation that shall offer to revive them . In pursuance whereof we further Declare ( as his Excellency's Army hath given us a noble Example ) that we will thankfully acquiesce in the Resolutions of the next ensuing Parliament for a due and just settlement of Church and State .
