THe glorious Lord of Heaven and Earth the God of battel, and Lord of Hosts, for our Lord Jesus Christ his sake, blesse our gracious King Charles, and his brave Army, and cover his Royall head in the day of battell, and returne him with honour and victorie to his Royall Queen: but I beseech your Highnesse, give your poor Subiect
leave to intreat you that you would not adventure your selfe in the day of battell; but remember what the Souldiers said unto the valiant King, Da∣vid, 2 Samuel, 21. 17. Thou shalt go no more out with us to the battell, lest thou quench the light of Isra∣el, and consider what counsell that kingly Prophet giveth, Psalme 34. 17. Eschew evill and do good, seek peace and ensue it. And therefore that faire Eng∣lands happy peace may not be now endangered; let the new Scottish Service Book, and the book for the recreation upon the Lords Day, be both throwne over the Scottish Bank, and so I humbly take my leave, and although by reason of my old age, and some wounds that I received at the fa∣mous siege of Ostend, I am disabled to doe your Highnesse service in the war, yet as my bound duty is, I will dayly pray unto the God of Peace, to set your feet in the way of peace.
