There is scarce a County in this Kingdom wherein and not one from which, your Excellency hath not deserved a more lasting Monument, then ever was erected of Corinthian Brass: But if the Lord be pleased, that your worth shall dwell only in the praises of his people, it will be your greater glory, that being the place, which himself hath chosen to inhabit. Now for a Testification of this, is This only intended; beyond This, towards men, God pleading for you, you need nothing but our silence. The issue of the last engagements, whereunto you were called, and enforced, Answering, yea outgoing your former undertakings, giving Ample Testimony of the continuance of Gods Presence, with you, in your Army, having stopped the mouths of many Gain-sayers, and called to the residue in the language of the dumb speaking Egyptian Hieroglyphic, [Greek or Hebrew], men of all sorts know, that God hateth impudence.1
