to_o the_o right_n honourable_a the_o lord_n and_o commons_o assemble_v in_o parliament_n the_o humble_a petition_n of_o humble_o show_v that_o we_o account_v true_a religion_n the_o life_n and_o crown_n of_o all_o our_o liberty_n and_o privilege_n a_o pure_a and_o perfect_a reformation_n in_o all_o christ_n ordinance_n the_o lustre_n and_o beauty_n of_o religion_n and_o those_o person_n or_o nation_n much_o honour_v of_o their_o god_n who_o he_o please_v to_o employ_v in_o the_o promote_a and_o accomplish_v of_o such_o a_o reformation_n such_o honour_n be_v in_o part_n cast_v upon_o our_o pious_a predecessor_n in_o the_o day_n of_o king_n edward_n the_o six_o and_o queen_n elizabeth_n of_o happy_a memory_n when_o after_o the_o dark_a midnight_n of_o popery_n the_o day_n of_o reformation_n in_o doctrine_n and_o worship_n begin_v sweet_o to_o dawn_n upon_o this_o kingdom_n but_o divine_a providence_n have_v devolve_v a_o double_a honour_n upon_o this_o age_n and_o therein_o principal_o upon_o you_o noble_a senator_n who_o god_n have_v wonderful_o raise_v up_o more_o perfect_o to_o repair_v his_o house_n in_o all_o the_o beauty_n of_o doctrine_n worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n have_v mighty_o stir_v up_o your_o spirit_n hearty_o to_o resolve_v it_o solemn_o to_o covenant_n it_o and_o real_o to_o exhibit_v some_o first_o fruit_n of_o it_o in_o the_o directory_n for_o public_a worship_n which_o we_o accept_v with_o all_o thankfulness_n notwithstanding_o we_o be_v not_o able_a long_a to_o conceal_v from_o your_o honour_n how_o extreme_o our_o spirit_n be_v perplex_v and_o amaze_v that_o the_o great_a business_n of_o church-government_n and_o discipline_n whereupon_o the_o whole_a stress_n of_o the_o present_a reformation_n will_v lean_v and_o whereby_o all_o christ_n precious_a ordinance_n and_o in_o particular_a the_o lord_n supper_n shall_v be_v preserve_v from_o all_o contempt_n and_o profanation_n shall_v to_o this_o very_a day_n remain_v unestablish_v by_o your_o civil_a sanction_n for_o we_o very_o believe_v that_o england_n be_v never_o blessed_v with_o such_o a_o parliament_n as_o you_o be_v that_o english_a parliament_n never_o have_v such_o a_o learned_a pious_a and_o faithful_a synod_n to_o hold_v forth_o sincere_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o model_n of_o church_n government_n agreeable_a to_o his_o will_n as_o you_o have_v that_o no_o parliament_n ever_o have_v such_o and_o so_o many_o forcible_a engagement_n upon_o they_o from_o god_n and_o unto_o god_n as_o be_v upon_o you_o and_o that_o this_o city_n of_o london_n do_v never_o so_o flourish_v with_o such_o a_o conscionable_a and_o painful_a ministry_n ready_a to_o put_v the_o government_n and_o discipline_n of_o christ_n into_o execution_n for_o a_o pattern_n and_o encouragement_n to_o all_o the_o kingdom_n as_o we_o have_v at_o this_o day_n whence_o then_o shall_v it_o be_v that_o the_o child_n be_v come_v so_o near_o to_o the_o birth_n there_o be_v yet_o no_o strength_n to_o bring_v forth_o bear_v with_o we_o a_o little_a in_o this_o fervour_n of_o our_o spirit_n it_o be_v for_o our_o religion_n reformation_n and_o the_o house_n of_o our_o god_n and_o we_o can_v hold_v our_o peace_n what_o way_n soever_o we_o cast_v our_o eye_n we_o can_v but_o see_v most_o sad_a fruit_n of_o the_o not_o settle_v of_o church-government_n to_o this_o day_n hence_o many_o abominable_a error_n and_o damnable_a heresy_n be_v broach_v among_o we_o without_o control_n and_o the_o precious_a truth_n which_o jesus_n christ_n seal_v with_o his_o blood_n be_v trample_v under_o foot_n hence_o the_o pure_a and_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n especial_o that_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v either_o woeful_o profane_v by_o person_n gross_o ignorant_a and_o scandalous_a or_o uncomfortable_o omit_v in_o many_o place_n now_o for_o a_o long_a time_n together_o which_o shall_v be_v often_o dispense_v hence_o multitude_n of_o unstable_a soul_n have_v fall_v off_o especial_o within_o these_o two_o or_o three_o year_n last_o pass_v into_o many_o strange_a sect_n maintain_v most_o horrid_a and_o blasphemous_a opinion_n incorporate_n themselves_o into_o separate_a assembly_n set_v up_o illiterate_a person_n to_o be_v their_o pastor_n and_o manage_v their_o meeting_n with_o great_a boldness_n and_o insolency_n in_o contempt_n of_o all_o authority_n to_o the_o disturbance_n of_o the_o city_n every_o one_o do_v what_o be_v right_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n and_o there_o be_v no_o course_n to_o reclaim_v they_o hence_o unnatural_a flame_n of_o division_n especial_o about_o church-government_n be_v occasion_v in_o the_o same_o kingdom_n betwixt_o people_n and_o people_n in_o the_o same_o city_n betwixt_o minister_n and_o minister_n in_o the_o same_o congregation_n betwixt_o pastor_n and_o flock_n yea_o in_o the_o same_o family_n betwixt_o master_n and_o servant_n betwixt_o parent_n and_o child_n betwixt_o husband_n and_o wife_n difference_n in_o opinion_n breed_v alienation_n of_o affection_n and_o both_o break_n out_o into_o many_o bitter_a and_o reproachful_a contention_n hence_o orthodox_n minister_n be_v despise_v and_o discourage_v in_o their_o ministry_n hopeful_a plant_n dishearten_v and_o deter_v from_o the_o ministry_n public_a assembly_n be_v forsake_v the_o pretend_a preacher_n of_o new_a gospel_n cry_v up_o universal_a toleration_n of_o all_o opinion_n and_o religion_n plead_v for_o the_o sabbath_n and_o monthly_a day_n of_o humiliation_n though_o back_v by_o your_o authority_n wilful_o contemn_v and_o a_o wide_a sluice_n open_v unto_o all_o profaneness_n and_o licentiousness_n final_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o true_o godly_a who_o have_v so_o long_o groan_v after_o reformation_n be_v overwhelm_v with_o grief_n and_o faint_n through_o hope_n defer_v our_o friend_n in_o foreign_a country_n especial_o our_o dear_a brethren_n of_o scotland_n be_v astonish_v at_o our_o delay_n our_o enemy_n at_o home_n scorn_n and_o insult_v over_o we_o as_o give_v up_o to_o a_o spirit_n of_o giddiness_n look_v at_o this_o city_n as_o a_o stage_n of_o schism_n faction_n and_o heresy_n our_o distemper_n grow_v more_o incurable_a and_o reformation_n every_o day_n more_o difficult_a and_o improbable_a and_o though_o our_o god_n have_v reward_v our_o begining_n of_o reformation_n with_o his_o begining_n of_o deliverance_n yet_o have_v he_o also_o of_o late_o manifest_v divers_a sad_a and_o remarkable_a token_n of_o his_o displeasure_n from_o heaven_n against_o england_n and_o scotland_n both_o by_o sword_n and_o pestilence_n because_o as_o we_o just_o fear_v we_o make_v no_o more_o haste_n to_o complete_a the_o reformation_n in_o all_o the_o desirable_a perfection_n of_o it_o according_a to_o our_o covenant_n wherein_o lead_v both_o by_o your_o precept_n and_o example_n we_o have_v religious_o lift_v up_o our_o hand_n to_o the_o most_o high_a god_n when_o we_o consider_v these_o thing_n we_o can_v pour_v out_o our_o very_a soul_n in_o we_o for_o god_n be_v our_o record_n and_o your_o honour_n also_o in_o part_n can_v bear_v we_o witness_v what_o we_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v in_o this_o concern_v cause_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n and_o how_o we_o have_v spare_v neither_o our_o prayer_n nor_o tear_n nor_o outward_a estate_n nor_o limb_n nor_o blood_n nor_o our_o dear_a life_n for_o the_o public_a but_o especial_o for_o the_o promote_a of_o a_o speedy_a and_o perfect_a reformation_n in_o all_o matter_n of_o religion_n without_o which_o we_o value_v no_o worldly_a comfort_n with_o which_o we_o hope_v we_o shall_v fear_v no_o earthly_a cross_n and_o till_o this_o be_v effect_v we_o can_v expect_v that_o god_n will_v full_o bless_v either_o you_o or_o we_o with_o complete_a deliverance_n wherefore_o we_o most_o ardent_o and_o humble_o importune_v this_o renown_a parliament_n

reverend_a assembly_n of_o divine_n according_a to_o the_o wisdom_n give_v unto_o they_o have_v frame_v and_o as_o we_o understand_v already_o present_v to_o your_o honour_n which_o be_v establish_v we_o shall_v better_o be_v enable_v with_o great_a hope_n and_o patience_n to_o wait_v till_o the_o confession_n of_o faith_n and_o public_a cathechism_n can_v be_v finish_v which_o must_v necessary_o
