to_o the_o present_a assembly_n member_n of_o parliament_n at_o westminster_n the_o consideration_n of_o a_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n upon_o the_o present_a state_n of_o affair_n present_v unto_o

that_o do_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o this_o nation_n they_o be_v all_o effect_v through_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o lord_n hand_n and_o his_o hand_n and_o power_n be_v in_o and_o over_o all_o these_o thing_n and_o if_o all_o particular_n which_o have_v happen_v since_o your_o first_o appear_v on_o the_o throne_n be_v account_v what_o have_v come_v to_o pass_v but_o have_v be_v accomplish_v and_o suffer_v to_o be_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o particular_o of_o the_o present_a state_n of_o thing_n and_o this_o last_o interruption_n which_o happen_v unto_o you_o be_v it_o not_o a_o just_a reproof_n upon_o you_o from_o the_o lord_n though_o effect_v in_o ambition_n and_o by_o corrupt_a instrument_n for_o have_v not_o you_o promise_v great_a thing_n unto_o this_o nation_n in_o matter_n of_o freedom_n and_o liberty_n but_o what_o have_v you_o do_v even_o leave_v this_o nation_n travel_v under_o great_a and_o sore_a vexation_n and_o undelivered_a from_o the_o bondage_n of_o oppression_n though_o you_o have_v have_v time_n after_o time_n put_v into_o your_o hand_n wherein_o you_o may_v have_v do_v good_a thing_n for_o the_o lord_n and_o for_o this_o nation_n and_o righteousness_n may_v have_v be_v establish_v among_o you_o and_o in_o the_o nation_n but_o you_o negle●ed_v many_o precious_a day_n and_o essect_v not_o many_o good_a thing_n it_o will_v be_v large_a to_o instance_n the_o particular_a oppression_n that_o yet_o remain_v upon_o almost_o all_o soul_n of_o people_n in_o this_o land_n which_o may_v have_v be_v remove_v long_o ere_o this_o day_n have_v you_o be_v faithful_a to_o god_n but_o because_o from_o day_n to_o day_n you_o have_v be_v rather_o careless_a and_o serve_v yourselves_o more_o than_o the_o lord_n therefore_o have_v he_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v interrupt_v once_o and_o again_o and_o reprove_v by_o a_o generation_n of_o man_n as_o unfaithful_a as_o yourselves_o well_o but_o to_o pass_v all_o this_o though_o much_o may_v be_v say_v you_o be_v now_o again_o at_o the_o stern_a of_o government_n and_o on_o the_o throne_n and_o i_o dare_v not_o but_o say_v it_o be_v even_o of_o and_o by_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v do_v it_o contrary_a to_o the_o expectation_n of_o many_o and_o what_o his_o end_n be_v in_o it_o remain_v with_o he_o but_o i_o be_o sure_a one_o cause_n be_v that_o you_o may_v execute_v part_n of_o his_o wrath_n upon_o that_o treacherous_a generation_n of_o hipocritical_a and_o deceitful_a man_n some_o of_o the_o army_n i_o mean_v some_o of_o who_o have_v be_v deceitful_a to_o god_n and_o treacherous_a to_o the_o nation_n and_o who_o have_v be_v fearful_a hypocrite_n by_o a_o show_n of_o religion_n more_o than_o other_o and_o have_v mock_v god_n as_o it_o be_v and_o his_o people_n i_o need_v not_o say_v to_o you_o how_o that_o many_o of_o they_o be_v raise_v up_o from_o a_o low_a estate_n and_o instead_o of_o serve_v the_o nation_n become_v their_o lord_n and_o

the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o and_o through_o all_o these_o thing_n that_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v for_o god_n be_v a_o work_n as_o well_o as_o you_o he_o be_v seek_v to_o set_v up_o a_o

may_v be_v you_o must_v fill_v up_o your_o measure_n of_o wickedness_n thereby_o that_o god_n may_v break_v you_o perpetual_o yet_o the_o less_o will_v be_v your_o judgement_n if_o you_o do_v it_o
