POSTSCRIPT.
HAving received the princely Approbation of that most Judicious and publick spirited Pro∣moter of Englands Weal and Prosperity, and all such Ingenuites as tend to general Good, and whose Noble Actions have given matchless proofs of his great zeal thereunto, viz. His Illustri∣ous Highness Prince Rupert, who having condiscen∣ded to peruse the preceeding Proposals, was pleas'd to Honour me with his Approvement, Advice, and Encouragement therein; Judging it necessary , that I should first offer the same to His Majesties Considera∣tion; and in order thereunto, did Introduce me to His Royal Presence, who was Graciously pleas'd to order me to deliver it to one of His Secretaries of State, to the intent he might peruse it, and bring in his Report thereof; whereupon I carried it to Mr. Secretary Coventry, who gave his Approbation thereof to His Majesty at the Council Table, where it pass'd without any obstruction:
Which gave me the greater Encouragement to put the said Proposals in Print, for the deliberate Per∣usal, and grave Consideration of both Houses of Parliament; who, I humbly conceive, are as greatly concern'd to encourage all such humble Endeavours, tending to such General Wealth and Honour of the whole Nation.
