vpon a petition exhibited by Sir Christopher Gardner, Sir Ferdinando Gorges, Captaine Masson etc. against you and vs; the cause was heard before the lords of the priuie counsell, and after reported to the king.2 The success wherof maks it euident to all, that the lord hath care of his people hear. The passages are admirable, and too long to write (I hartily wish an opportunitie to Imparte them vnto you being many sheets of paper) But the conclusion was (against all mens expectation) an order for our Incouragmente; and much blame, and disgrace vpon the Aduersaries; which calls for much thankfullnes from vs all. Which we purpose (the lord willing) to express in a day of thanks-giuing, to our mercifull God. (I doubt not but you will consider, if it be not fitt for you to Ioyne In it) who as he hath humbled vs by his late correction, so he hath lifted vs vp by an abundante reioysing, in our deliuerance out of so desperate a danger, so as that which our enemies builte their hopes vpon to ruine vs by, He hath mercifully disposed to our great aduantage, As I shall further acquainte you, when occasion shall serue.
