A Word to the Commanding Power in the ARMY.
By your leave, Gentlemen,
I Hope, in these dayes of Liberty, I may be free to speak a word to my fellow-Souldiers: I shall not trouble you with much at the present, for I know you have more trouble already upon your spirits, then you can well tell how to be rid of. My speech is intended especially (as I said before) to my fellow-Souldiers, those of the inferiour rank and quality; I have very little from the Lord to declare to You as yet: All that I have to say, is this; That you go on as fast as you can with the Work you have begun, for the time draws nigh that is allotted you: Make haste (I say;) yet not more haste then good speed: Make a short work; but cut it short in righteousnesse; for the day is at hand, where∣in he that helpeth, and they that are holpen shall fall together. Gentlemen, you are the rod of God, yea, the rod of the Lords anger in his own hand, the Almighty Arm acts you; and so it ap∣pears;

for no manly glory can encounter with you: in this day of the Lords wrath you strike thorow King, Gentry, and Nobility, they all fall before you: You have a Commission from the Lord to scourge England's Oppressors; do it in the name of God, do it (I say) fully, hotly, sharply; and the same measure you mete, shall be met to you again; for the Lord will ere long cast his rod into the fire of burning and destruction: It will be a sweet destruction, wait for it.
Gentlemen,
Ʋnder an abrupt form I subscribe my self Yours in life and death, JOSEPH SALMON.
