to_o the_o parliament_n of_o the_o common_a wealth_n of_o england_n present_v to_o they_o wednesday_n the_o 5_o of_o october_n 1659._o by_o major_a general_n disbrow_n together_o with_o the_o

their_o posterity_n and_o we_o can_v true_o say_v that_o it_o be_v in_o our_o heart_n earnest_o to_o desire_v that_o god_n will_v crown_v you_o with_o the_o honour_n of_o make_v these_o nation_n happy_a by_o such_o a_o settlement_n as_o may_v not_o be_v liable_a at_o every_o change_n of_o governor_n to_o have_v the_o peace_n thereof_o disturb_v by_o introduce_v new_a government_n 3._o

a_o good_a understanding_n may_v be_v preserve_v between_o they_o we_o humble_o pray_v i._o that_o the_o officer_n of_o the_o army_n and_o particular_o those_o who_o have_v reason_n to_o bear_v the_o mark_n of_o your_o favour_n for_o their_o faithfulness_n in_o the_o late_a northern_a expedition_n may_v stand_v right_a in_o your_o opinion_n and_o have_v your_o countenance_n ii_o that_o
