of his anger, that our Prayers should not passe
through.

The great and main difficulties through which the Lord hath carried this
Work, as we do acknowledge, ought mainly to be made use of, for the praise
and glory of his power, who is the great Worker of all our works for us;
So your overcoming of them is to us no small Demonstration of your zeal,
wisdom, and faithfulnesse, which without great Injurie both to the Lord
the prime Worker, and to you his instruments, we cannot but acknowledge,
hath been much manifested in the whole managing of this work in your
hands.

The full answer to all the particulars you write of in your Letters, we
leave to the Relation of those that come from you, and are now appointed
to return to you: And as with much thankfulnesse we acknowledge your
fidelity in what ye have done already; so we have again renewed your
Commission for the continuance of your Imployment there, for the
perfecting of the Work so happily begun: For the furthering whereof, as we
shall not be wanting in our prayers to GOD for his blessing upon your
labours, so for your help and assistance, we have appointed a commission
to sit at Edinburgh, to which at all occasions you may have your recourse,
as the exigence of the Work shall require.

How satisfactory that Directory of Worship presented to us by our Brethren
from you, was to us, we leave it rather to their relation at their return;
being ear and eye witnesses to the manifold expressions of our joy and
gladnesse, then offer to represent it to you in a Letter: The Act herewith
sent, and ordained to be prefixed unto the Directory, will sufficiently
declare our hearty approbation of it: Our judgement also concerning the
proportions of Government and Ordination, and our earnest desire to have
the Work of Uniformity promoved and perfected in that particular also,
will appear to you by the other Act which herewith you will receive: Our
zeal and desire to have that Work fully closed with so much harmonie as
becometh the work of GOD, will appear to you in our resolution and answer
to that particular in the point of Excommunication, concerning which you
write.

These particular differences hinted in the Assemblies Letter, for
uniformitie with that Kirk so much endeared to us, we have resolved to lay
aside, and have taken course for preserving harmonie amongst our selves,
whereof our Brethren will give you more particular account. Anent your
desire of _Mr Alexander Henders
