First, to you the Worthies of Englands Parliament.
For your sakes God hath sent to Edge-hill, and to the North, and to the West, and hath brought down the cry of their Nobles, &c.
God hath honoured you more then ever he honoured any Parliament since the foundations of this Kingdom were laid, and hath done as great things for you as ever he did for any Assembly of men, I think, since the foundations of the world were laid.
And now, Honoured Senators, study your Renders, What shall I render to the Lord? &c. Study what you should do for the Lords sake, who hath done so much for yours.
