Cromwel and the Councel of the Army in England concerning the chusing of a new Parliament Dear and precious friends YOurs of the 28 of Jan. came to our hands and was with abundance of joy and gladness received by us and we hope that it will in a great measure stirre up our hearts and a waken us out of that dead and drowsie condition which along time we have lain in and we do blesse the name of the Lord on your behalfes who have put us in remembrance of these things for surely we have been altogether deficient in our suitable returnes to the most High for these extraordinary mercies and unexpected favours which not onely our selves but all the Lords people in these Nations have been sharers in And indeed we are very sensible how far we have neglected our duty each to others in that we have not endeavoured the strengthning of our hearts and hands each of other by renewing the remembrance of the great things of our God upon all occasions one to another but have rather had our hearts and hands imployed in such things as will not at all advantage us at the appearing of our Lord so that we must needs say that we have every one of us sought his owne but not others good neither have we endeavoured in our several places the answering of that great design of God which surely he will have brought about which is to lose the bands of wickedness to undo the heavy burdens and to let the oppressed go free then should the light have brake forth as the morning and the righteousness shall go before and the glory of the Lord shal be our reward Isai 28. These things being sensibly set upon our hearts we could not but acquaint you and through grace we do shall resolve every one of us in our places to make it our work to seek the face of the Lord both together apart And we are not out of hopes but that the Lord will be found of us and manifest himself in us and by us We are indeed at a great distance from the rest of our relations in the respective Regiments to whom we belong here being in a corner of the countrey but a small part of Maj. Gen. Col. Lilburns and Col. Morgans Regiments However we hope that you will have the like return from all the rest that belong to us upon occasion and we shall not God willing come in the least short of our duty toward them in putting them in minde of their duty towards the Lord and towards each other that so they may not draw away their shoulders but be up and doing every one in their place in carrying forward the great Work of the most High which surely he will have brought about We shall not trouble you any further at present onely to tell you that we will not cease importuning at the Throne of grace for you that the Lord will strengthen your hearts and hands in this great business our hearts being with you and our desires and affections towards you we shall commend you to the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and remain Your affectionate friends and Brethren Montross Feb. 16. 1652.
