MY LORDS ,

I Can assure your Lordships , that you are infinitely admir'd for the Fervent Zeal and Constancy , you have all ways had for the Church of England , which is the Best Church in the World , and the Most Apostolick ; and tho' She has many Opposers , yet I doubt not but God of his Infinite Goodness , will make Her more than a Conqueror by your Assistance : For was it ever known that any Nobility stuck so firm to their Religion , so that I may compare you to a Rock that is not to be moved . For there is not any thing more Glorious to the Church than Self Denial , and for that I hope your Lordships will be Eternally Famous ; for a great many of you has been ready to Sacrifice your Lives and Fortunes , and I doubt not but most of you if need had required , would have been of the same Mind . And I do not doubt , but your Pious Examples will strengthen the whole Nation , if that you do but Crown all your Actions with Loyalty ; for if you do but retain that to the End , great will be your Reward , not only Here but in Eternity . My Lords , I must needs say , That you have been very kind to my Soveraign Lord the King , and if his Majesty has not been so kind as he should , you know the Occasion , and considering the Temptations his Majesty had daily on every side , I admir'd that his Majesty Acted so well ; for I am very sensible that he withstood many Temptations sore against the Roman Catholicks Will ; for which Clemency and Goodness , he is highly condemned by them ; which I hope you will take into your serious Consideration ; for I know you are such Noble Souls as hates Ingratitude , or rendering evil for evil . For I know it is in your Power to make your selves happy , if you will use all Pious Endeavours to do the King Good and to Reclaim him by Fine and Gentle Means , and not to suffer Priests and Jesuits nor any Roman Catholicks to come about him : But this must not be done in a hurry as if you did not care for your King and was so indifferent as if you could be as well without him as with him ; but you must pass by all Injuries and love him , that you may Pitty and Pray for him , and I doubt not , but that God that changed Nebuchadnezar's Heart , will change his , and make him Glorious and you all Happy , therefore fear not , but put your trust in God , and all things shall do well ; for I can assure you , if the King Falls , his Fall will be our Ruin . And as for the Prince of Orange , I have a high Esteem for him , forasmuch as he pretends ro Vindicate the Church of England and to Prevent Popery ; and if he really doth this and has no By-ends , I 'll say he will be a Glorious Prince : But if he has any By-ends to lessen the King and promote Himself , his End will be miserable ; for if his Highness doth design Good for the King , why should he forbid the Oath of Supremacy ; but I hope no Good Soul will yield to that ; for he is our Supream , and we will allways own him : For ther 's not any weary of the King , but only desires to be Free'd from Popery : If his Highness don't do that , he had better have stay'd in his own Countrey .

And So the Almighty Bless , Guide and Direct You , in all Your Councils , that You may be Present and Eternally Happy : is the Prayer of

Your Humble Servant And Souls Well-wisher , ELINOR JAME●
