Noble and worthy Commissioners.
This Covenant, so unanimously, so religiously entered into, by the Honourable Houses of Parliament, and Reverend Assembly, (Gods two faithful Witnesses now in England) as by your selves also, was afterward sent to the City; where, amongst the rest of the Ministers, I was to take my share in preparing the people. The Work being so solemn and great, I bethought my self how I might best serve this blessed Design; The time gave me some advantage, it falling in the course of my Ministry, to preach thrice between the Warning and the Taking. I engaged my thoughts (distractions will hardly allow me to say, Studies) wholly upon this Work; and (blessed be God) not without much encouragement: The readiness I found in the People ⟨image 3⟩to close with the invitation of God and Parliament, expressing it self, not only in the multitudes, but in the affections of them that offered themselves to this Service, made visible in tears of joy.
