"That he, not truly understanding the Justness of the
Cause this State hath in handling till of late, did,
through some plausible Persuasions of His Majesty,
(fn. ‡) continue with Him; until, by true Information of some
Friends, I found that His Majesty was not only misled,
but His Deafness to those He ought to hear best was
liker to increase, than by wholesome and well-grounded
Propositions from hence receive an Opening and Enlargement of that Organ; upon which, your Lordships
humble Servant and Suppliant, ambitious to redeem
himself in the good Opinion of your Lordships, and
also of the Honourable House of Commons; and, Secondly, to preserve his Honour and Reputation with
those that stood for Religion and the Liberty of the
Subject; did (upon serious Deliberation) bethink himself to lay hold upon your Lordships Declaration,
and the Articles of Prince Rupert and General Fairefax, and resolved to become a new Man, and to be
faithful in the Cause now depending here, either by
Oath or otherwise; which I humbly desire may be
received for such a Truth as not to be suspected or
denied; and, in regard of my high Poverty, I may not
be restrained to any chargeable Prison, or other Restraint; but, if at all, to my Chamber or some Public
Minister of State's House, as the Sheriff or some Alderman of this City; not being in any present Capacity
any ways able to subsist, having not had Fifty Pounds
of his own Estate these Four Years, either in England
or Ireland.
"And he shall ever pray, &c.
