THE SEA-MENS REMONSTRANCE ; CONCERNING The present Engagement between England , and Holland , &c.

WHen We look upon the Records of the Ages past , to find out the greatest blessings that God hath bestowed on our Native Countrey , the Isle of England , we cannot but acknowledge , that next to the Christian Faith , the Union of the Nation , under the immediate Power and Government , doth exceed all former Presidents : What apprehension the enemies of our Religion have had at our peaceable conjunction , and with what eye of jealousie the neighbour states did look upon us and envy our happiness , these latter dayes can bear record . For they have not only attempted to violate our freedom and birth-rights , and to offer for a sacrifice our Religion and Liberties in a cruel and bloudy War , but have also endeavoured to make us a broken reed , a rock of offence and a shipwrack unto those who formerly sought unto Us for shelter from the storms : Now against this high & extream insolency of our adversaries , which swelleth every day to a greater bigness and exulceration , and is to break out imperiously at their pleasure , we do unanimously declare , in the presence of God , Angels , and Men , to live and die together , in this present engagement , according to our Oath and protestation : And as We seek earnestly to the Lord for a blessing in the behalf of our selves and the whole Nation ; so we desire not to go forth in our own strength but in the power of the most high God ; By which we hope the Gospel of Christ shall be inlarged , the Nation freed from danger , and the Commonwealth made more great and glorious then any ; which , as it is the end , so shal it be the faithful endeavors , and unfeigned prayers of us all .
