The Farewell.

On serious consideration, I was at a loss to wish to this County, what it wanted, God and the Kings of England have so favoured it with naturall perfections, and civil priviledges. In avowance of the latter it sheweth more Burrow-towns (sending Burges∣ses no fewer then twelve to the Parliament) then any Shire, (though thrice as big) lying in the Kingdome of Mercia. Now seeing at the instant writing hereof, the ge∣nerall News of the Nation is, of a Parliament to be called after his Majesties Corona∣tion, my prayers shall be that the Freehoulders of this County shall (amongst many therein so qualified) chuse good Servants to God, Subjects to the King, Patriots to the County, effectually to advance a happiness to the Church and Common-wealth.
