Thus have we in all humble pursuance of his Majesties most gracious endeavours for the public weal of this Church, drawn up our Thoughts and Desires in this weighty Affair, which we humbly offer to His Majesties Commissioners for their serious & grave Consideration, wherein we have not the least thought of depraving or reproaching the Book of Common-Prayer, but a sincere desire to contribute our endeavours towards the healing the distempers, and (as soon as may be) reconciling the minds of Brethren. And inasmuch as his Majesty hath in his gracious Declaration and Commission mentioned new forms to be made and suited to the several parts of Worship; We have made a considerable Progress therein, and sh•ll (by Gods assistance) offer them to the Reverend Commissioners with all convenient speed, And if the Lord shall graciously please to give a blessing to these our endeavours, We doubt not but the peace of the Church will be thereby settled; the hearts of Ministers and people comforted and composed, and the great Mercy of Unity and Stability (to the immortal Honour of our most dear Sovereign) bestowed upon us and our posterity after us.
