urn thanks, so we earnestly pray the Lord to open a way to
their timely coming hitherto and do assure them of all testimonies of
respect, love, and the right hand of fellowship, who shall under-take a
journey so tedious, and now so perillous, to joyne with us in the Work,
when it shall please the honourable Houses of Parliament to invite them
thereunto.

It remaines that we should now spread before you our calamities, dangers
and fears of further evils, not only drawing toward us, but even
threatning you also; and crave your passionate aids in all wayes becoming
the Servants of Jesus Christ. But your Commissioners have so fully
declared your certain knowledge and deep sense of them, that they have
left us no room for inlarging ourselves in this particular, to Brethren so
full of bowels and zeal. And they have sufficiently intimated unto the
honourable Houses, that you are well aware how often the common enemies of
both Kingdomes have consulted together with one consent to cut off both
the one and the other from being a Nation, and that the Tabernacles of
_Edom_, and the _Ishmaelites_ of _Moab_, and the _Hagarens, Geball,
Ammon,_ and _Amalek_, the cursed Papists, and their implacable and bloudy
Abettors here, do still retain the same malice, and carry on the same
designe against Religion, and perfect Reformation even in your Kingdome,
happily rescued from their former tyrannies, as well as in this of
scorched England, now in the furnace: Only they have varied the Scene,
pouring out all their fury upon us at the present: That so, having once
troden us under as mire in the streets, they may afterward more easily;
(which God avert) set their proud and impure feet upon your necks also.
Wherefore the good leave and favour of the honourable Houses of
Parliament, we shall now spare the further exciting of you to that which
we doubt not of your forwardnesse by all lawfull and meet means to promote
with all your might; namely, the possessing the good people of that
Kingdome; (of whose willing minde and readinesse you have already given
ample testimony) touching our condition, and to encourage them to our
assistance in this Cause of Religion.

And now remembring without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love,
and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, with all due
acknowledgments of the precious effects of your prayers; We most humbly
and earnestly desire, that the same breathings of the spirit in you may
still contin
