and night in the gap for you being able peaceable and diligent ministers of the Gospel besides many others who were driven away by this tempest After this a new project of far more dangerous Consequence was promoted by a faction in the army siding with the Irish party to wit a cursed Cessation was hatched to be made with the Irish rebels when we were masters in the field and our army was maintained mostly by the spoiles which they dayly recovered from the enemy who had formerly made a prey of all the estates of the English throughout the land excepting some few cityes and castles

ammunition for a new war when the cessation should be expired now were foure of our best friends privy counsellors clapt up in the Castle of Dublin for opposing the Cessation when all the rebels who had been committed having beene taken prisoners by our army in the open field were released and some of them dubbed forsooth for their good service and more of our Ministers were driven to follow their brethren to shift for their lives and safety by flight some for preaching and praying against the Treaty as in duty and conscience they thought themselves bound to doe others for feare lest they should be destroyed if it tooke effect Thus were we like Levi divided in Jacob and scattered in Israel But since my departing from you I have beene exceedingly desirous to returne to you insomuch as I once advanced as for as Nesson towards you and thence was turned back how ever I am still mindfull of you in my Prayers on all occasions sympathizing with you in your straits and dangers have I condoled with you and joyfull have I been and still am at your deliverances and enjoyments of mercies as at the present to heare of your welfare that the Lord hath placed over you a prudent well principled and religious governour in chiefe and others subordinate magistrates men of Courage fearing God hating covetuousness that the Lord hath stored you with able conscionable orthodox divines And in testimony of my thankfulness I send unto you since I may not come over to you my self this small tract haveing thoughts of preparing a larger treatise for you upon a subject which I made entrance upon while I was among you entitled The way of salvation which may therefore more properly be layed claime unto by you as this present Treatise more peculiarly belongeth to my now
