THat your Petitioner, having the knowledge of Gods secret Counsel manifested to him, being called thereto, hath declared it freely to all people these 19. years', as you may see in his book called [A Voice from Heaven,] Written in the year 1651. and directed to the Common-wealth of England: as also the further preparation of God in him for the same purpose from his Nativitie to this time; And the effects thereof you have fully set forth in his book called [An Eccho to the voice from Heaven, &c.] Written in the year 1652. In both which books is sufficiently shewed Gods determination concerning this Common­Wealth.

That, from the date of the said books you may observe, how God hath in part fulfilled the words of your Peti­tioner, and thereby conclude, God will fulfill the remainder thereof, so that, as sure as the Parliament is dissolved, as sure shall the King come to his Throne, as it is sufficiently proved in the aforesaid book. And indeed if your Honours will looke into the same, and seriously reade and consider them, you shall finde that your Petitioner would not turn water into bloud, but would rather turn bloud into water, and water into wine, to cherish the heart of the sorrowfull, that the waters and tears of repentance might wash away the guilt of bloud, and become wine of consolation to this Nation, in their union and conjunction with the KING.

That without their conjunction to their Native and right KING, there is no hope of peace, cer­tainty, or safety to this Nation, nor to your selves (most Noble Worthies) whose actions are glorious, though as yet much imperfect: The great Mountain Parliament is become a plain before you: Next in or­der the KING is to be exalted by you, who is signified by the head-stone, Zachar. 4. 7.

Crown all your actions by setting him up, and be glorious for ever: I am sure, if you speedily pro­claim him KING, you will glorifie God thereby, and save an Ocean of English bloud from being spilt, and have such conditions of perfect peace from GOD and the KING, that you and your seed may be his glorious Nobles for ever: Therefore, because time is short, use your Jewel for your best advantage, least you loose it, as the Parliament did, for want of using it aright, according to the minde of God, and your Petitioners instructions.

May 16. 1653.

Your Petitioner therefore humbly prayes, that your Honours would with your most serious thoughts consider these few lines, and set the KING (Charles Stewart by Name) upon his Throne. Doe this and live for ever, 1 John, 2 Chr. 17. John 11. 26. And your Petitioner shall ever pray, &c.
