on_ his attending the Treatie, we are
confident ere this you have received our resolution.

Amidst the many difficulties wherewith it pleaseth the Lord to presse us,
as we thought it necessar to publish and send forth a Warning to all sorts
of Persons in this Kirk and Kingdom, concerning the present affliction of
this Nation, and their sins procuring the same; So we thought it incumbent
to us in duty, as the best Testimony which we can give at this present to
his Majesty, to remonstrate unto him faithfully The great and growing
dangers his Majesty is now under, and the causes thereof. This
Remonstrance we have sent to you, to be presented to his Majesty, by such
means, and at such time, as you who are there upon the place shall judge
fittest.

And now dear Brethren go on with cheerfulnesse in the Work of the Lord:
Let no discouragement or opposition make your heart to faint, or your
hands wax feeble: Perswade your self the Lords hand shall still be made
known toward his servants, and his indignation against his Enemies.
Remember the Work is his, who useth not to begin, but also to make and
end, and is abundantly able to supply all your need according to the
riches of his glory. Be confident therefore of this thing, that he who
hath begun this good Work by you, will also in due time accomplish it to
his own praise. To his gracious assistance we heartily recommend you.

Postscript.
