Cast not your burthen, on this noble Band,
But know your selves best what you have in hand▪
They have affairs so weighty, that they must
Begin at home, according to their Trust;
Think on your selves, and that, for which you came,
It is enough, all is allow'd by them:
Nor onely must the Publike be relieved,
But every private Member that is grieved,
It doth belong a little to your charge,
Such to assist; or if you doe inlarge
Your warrant there, it cannot do amisse:
You may commit a greater sinne then this,
And I conceive it cannot give offence
To further things that suffer in suspence,
Such as were sharers in the self-same thing
For w••ich you say, you did your Army bring,
And Natives too, it cannot be unfit,
For to befriend them, they deserved it,
In Suits so just, what is't you may not do?
They covenanted for to answer you▪
And then your actions cannot but must thrive
Such grave Divines, assist you to contrive,
Who constantly invoke with holy words,
For blessings from above, and so affords
Assistance alway's, from the heavenly Throne,
And still obtains the same before they'r gone.
Then in a three-fold manner may you take,
Concurrence also, and a Linck may make,
Of such-like strength, as it will ever last
For to prevail, and take it from the rest,
I meane of those judicions Gentlemen,
Whose Ayd you have, and I am certain then,
You nothing can desire, not yet demand
But you will surely have it at their hand▪
Excuse my boldnesse, that I speak so much,
But I presume because I know you such
