Zion's sad tears, for Nineveh's just fears. Or, Hours of mourning, for yeers of sinning; Being some few directed observations of divine mercy, & sinful returns: with an humble offering towards regulation of land and maritime affairs. By a humble seeker of truth and peace.

To every Individual Member of the Army.

HAst not thou been one of those, that God Almighty, the Lord of Hosts hath been pleased to bless in the tryals of fire and smoak? Hast thou not in thy time sent, or endea∣voured to return Trophies of thy success to thy friends and Brethren at home, to magnifie thy self? Didst thou, or thy Assistants, ne'er pro∣mise the people succour or assistance, to procure their Freedomes and Liberties? What then did they pay thee for, to continue ever upon their charge, and never endeavour it, or indeed to call thee to Maritime as well as Land-affairs? Oh ye foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you to seek God little, man and thy interest much; forbear seeking truth and freedome, and pursue vanity!

Indeed, what fruitful returnes hast thou given to thy Preserver? You will say you were a servant, (I hope not Mercenary) you might advise, nay tru∣ly urge better Counsel when the House was decli∣ning; you must therefore now help to support it.

Well, now it seems that the Lord (by some confi∣ding more in War then Truth and Peace) must call you or your Comrade once more forth, as well to qualifie the wickedness of the Marriners, (a spirit bad enough, and too too soon, though late∣ly rais'd) as to try once more to bring home victo∣ry from an insulting Foe, even at the gate; Deny not when you are call'd, cast your selves into the armes of your heavenly Father, he shall direct you and his chosen ones for ever, and will even for e∣ver and ever preserve. But in thy heart Covenant with God, or at least wish an happyer Restauration to our Rights and Priviledges now, then by blood at Sea, and that from thy soul: which if thou heartily pursue, the God of glory may Crown it with a blessing, and return the benefit into thy bo∣some. Remember, that the greatest of Power was the Lamb of Peace, so well as Lyon of the Tribe of Judah; but the still commands all Powers.
