MONCK as the signal Instrument of so great a Deliverance And whereas some pernicious and desperate persons have laboured to raise a Jealousie that those who adhered to the KING doe still in their hearts detain Revenge against such as were of a different Party We think our selves bound to declare to all the World in the presence of God that we detest and abhor all thoughts of Animosity or revenge against any Party or Persons whatsoever For as we could wish the late Divisions had never been begotten so we desire they may for ever be buried and shall think those Persons the greatest and common Enemies of our Country who shall offer to revive them And we also declare That we will thankfully submit and attend the Resolutions of the next ensuing Parliament for a just and happy Settlement of Church and State that so at last by Cods blessing that so those odious marks of Sides and Parties may for ever be blotted out and a perfect Union may again be restored to this distressed Nation Edward Russel Esq.

William Somner Gen● A DECLARATION OF THE NOBILITY and GENTRY that adhered to the late KING in and about the City of LONDON AFter the miseries of a Civil War and the many vain and fruitless Attempts toward Settlement upon several Interests and Imaginary Forms of Government It having pleased Almighty God by unexpected and wonderful meanes to give these Nations a Probable hope of being restored to those Lawes and Priviledges which have been transmitted to them from their Ancestors We doe Declare That we think our selves obliged next to Divine Providence to attribute this Glorious Work to his Excellency the Lord General MONCK who as he had the Courage to assert the Publick Liberty And the Prudence to carry it on against so many difficulties has also had the happinesse to lead us thus far through the Wilderness of Confusion without Passing the Red Sea of Blood And because the Enemies of the Publick Peace have endeavoured to represent those of the KING'S Party as men implacable and such as would sacrifice the common Good as their private Passions We doe sincerely profess that we doe reflect upon our past Sufferings from the hand of God and therefore doe not cherish any violent Thoughts or Inclinations to have been any way Instrumental in them And if the indiscretion of any Spirited Persons transports them to Expressions contrary to this our Sense we utterly disclaim them And desire that the imputation may extend no farther than the folly of the offenders And we farther declare that we intend by our Quiet and Peaceable behaviour to testifie our Submission to the present Power as it now resides in the Council of State in expectation of the Future Parliament upon whose Wisedome and Determinations we trust God will give such a Blessing as may produce a perfect Settlement both in Church and State And as his Excellency hath not chosen the Sandy Foundation of Self-concernment but the firm Rock of National Interest whereon to frame our Settlement It is our Hope and Prayer that when the Building comes to be raised it may not like Rome have its beginning in the Blood of Brethren nor like Babel be interrupted by the Confusion of Tongues but that we may all speak one Language and be of one name That all mention of Parties and Factions and all Rancour and Animosities may be thrown in and buried like rubbish under the Foundation Subscribed by The Marquiss of Dorchester The Earl of Northampton The Earl of Devonshire The Earl of Barkshire The Earl of Dover The Earl of Peterborough The Earl of Norwich The Earl of Corke The Earl of Carbery The Earl of Desmond The Viscount Ogle The Viscount Grandison The Viscount Lumley The Viscount Brounker The Lord Lucas The Lord Bellasis The Lord Loughborough The Lord Lexinton The Lord Brereton Tho.
