that Land to swim.

We do in all humility beseech your Majestie to consider & lay to heart
what the mouth of the Lord of Hosts hath spoken of all the accompts of
People, Nations, Kings, and Rulers against the Kingdom of his Son, that
they imagine a vaine thing and that he that sitteth in heaven will have
them in dirision and vex them in his sore displeasure. Consider, how he
hath blasted and turned upside downe these yeares by past, all the devices
and plots of those men that now beare the Swey in your Majesties Counsels:
Consider, how the anger of God has been kindled, even against his dearest
Saints, when they have joyned themselves to such men as he hateth and has
cursed: Consider, how severely hee hath threatned and punished such Kings
as have associate with Idolaters, and leaned unto their helps. Surely,

to wash away all your sins, To walk no longer in the Councel of the
ungodly, nor cleave to such as seeke their own things and not the things
of Jesus Christ, nor the welfare of your Subjects and Government, but to
set your eyes upon the faithfull in your dominions, that such may dwell
with you, & be the men of your Councells, To serve the Lord in feare, and
kisse the Sonne of God, by a sincere and cordiall contributing your Royall
allowance and authority, for establishing in all your dominions the
reformation of Religion, in Doctrine, Worship, and Government as it is now
agreed upon according to the cleare & evident warrant of the word of God,
by the Assembly of Divines at _Westminster_, and the Generall Assemblies
of this Church; And also, laying aside that service book, which is so
stuffed with Romish corruptions, And conform
