Heartily desiring the peace and welfare of these poore nations, with freedome and an impartial administration of justice, that righteousness might run down our streets like a flood, and truth be exalted.

And yet men nay wise men that daily use thiss prayer will daily act contrary things and lead themselve into temptations to act one part of the Lords prayer But they will thrust us into the highest temptations that posible can be on earth and cunningly creep after themselves What greater temptation was ever any man led into than the late Protector was was he not led from one degree to another till he grew so great and mightie that his looks and threats could fright all men but fools Was he not a dread and terrour to that very Armie that raised him from the mean condition he was once in to all his greatnesse What is the L.
