 Humbly Sheweth,

HAT whereas your Petitioners forlorn

By Chupch and State, held in Contempt and Scorn Unto the Covenanted Reformation,

Which once obtain'd within this Church and Nation

Cat off by all that's in Authority,

And Violate by the groet Perfidy;

Under the Ahes of Affronts do ly,

Deert' by mot unjut-Apotacy;

Deerve ome other Treatment at the hands

Of all, and each in thee Reformed Lands;

And pecially, at yours, whoe Place and Station,

Whoe Honour, Interet, and that high Relation,

Wherein you tand unto the KING of Kings,

Who in Sublime o're Earth’s Clay-Monarchs reigns;

Doth challenge your Obervance of His Laws,

With Life and Fortune to defend His Caufe;

His honour and His Interet to advance,

To propagate with Care and Vigilance, Rh
