all the Churches of Christ, but more especially to you, while we have an
intentive eye to our peculiar Protestation, and to that publick Sacred
Covenant entred into by both the Kingdomes, for Uniformity in all his
Majesties Dominions.

Which Work we carry on (against what ever difficulties are cast in our
way) with more ease and comfort, by the great sedulity and seasonable
assistance wee daily receive from your Noble and Reverend Commissioners
sitting among us: Their Prudence will (we doubt not) sufficiently furnish
you with more particular information touching our affairs; And here, we
cannot but acknowledge that the assidious presence of these our learned
and highly-esteemed Brethren among us, and their free and faithfull
contributing of their counsels to us, doe oblige us much to a double duty;
the one of Thanks, which we now heartily render to you, for sending to us
such excellent Helpers; the other of Request, which wee earnestly make for
their continuance with us, untill the Work bee brought up to the finishing

Now, the Great Master-Builder (without whose Almighty concurrence, the
Builders labour but in vain) accomplish and perfect all his own glorious
Work in your hands, and in ours, also, to his own Glory, the peace and
edification of all the Churches, and the comfort of our selves over all
our travels and sufferings.

Letters at all occasions; and not a little rejoyce to see that happie
correspondence and Christian communion so sweetly entertained amongst us,
which is so acceptable in the sight of the Lord, so pleasant and
profitable, especially when kept and entertained betwixt Kirks and
Kingdomes about affairs of highest and most publick concernment and
interest: We have nothing more in our desires than to entertain that
harmonious correspondence, that Christian sympathie and compassion, that
