TO HIS EXCELLENCY The Lord General CROMWEL.
WHat the Jews once said of their Centurion, He loved our Na∣tion, and built us a Syna∣gogue, the same may we affirm upon a more Noble Accompt of Your Lordship, and of those faithful Centurions and Soldiers under Your Conduct; by how much the Adventure of your Lives in the Cause of God, for the Good of your Country, is a more in∣fallible Demonstration of your Love to it: for∣asmuch as the King of Saints, is also King of Nations, and when he shall be the desire of all Nations, will prove their safest Interest.

Ʋpon consideration whereof, it was but equal that Mr. Eliot a faithful Laborer of Christ in spreading the Everlasting Gospel to the Poor Indians, should prefix Your Lordships Name to his Relation of the Progress of Divine Grace amongst them: And with his Judgment, We of the Corporation, who are subordinately intru∣sted, do so far concur, especially moved there∣unto by that liberal and Exemplary Contributi∣on to this Glorious Work lately promoted by Your Lordship, and Your Officers with the Army, that we thought not fit either to sever that Narrative, and this of Mr. Mayhew's, or to send them abroad under any other Name to the Publick View.
Coopers-Hall, London, March, 26. 1653.
Signed in the Name, and by the Appointment of the said Corporation, byWilliam Steel, President.
