Suffer me to speak that which is due to you,1 and not in mine own words, but to speak the sense of all the well-affected in the Kingdom; We bless God, that though there are many fallen Stars, many Lords that have deserted the Parliament, that yet you (Right Honourable) stand firm like fixed Stars in your Orbs, and have taken unwearied pains for the good of the Church and State, and have ventured all for your Religion and Liberties, and many of you lost a great part of your revenues for the present, and have passed many Ordinances very advantageous to the Kingdom.2 The Lord be blessed for all the good you have done! The Lord recompense it to you and yours! The Lord grant you may find mercy from the Lord at that great day! It is not the design of the well-affected party to take away Temporal Lordships, or the distinction between Lords and Commons, and to bring all to a popular equality. This is an Anabaptisticall fury. I protest against it in the Name of all the Well-affected Ministers. Indeed we would be glad to be rid of Spiritual Lords over our consciences. But as for Temporal Lords, we pray with David, The Lord give you good success, Ride on and prosper. 3Thus much for commendation.
