Oh GOD, thine aid I once again implore,
That my Design make not our breaches more,
Nor quite compleat my ruine now begun;
At least till I thy work have wholly done:
For, I am of no Faction, but profess
To King and Country with true heartiness,
Both Loyalty and Love, with an intent
Dustruction and Disunion to prevent,
By offering to mens due considerations,
Some Objects of my private Observations
With those Products, which may arise from thence;
And which may likewise have an influence
On other things, that will relation have
To Thee and thine, whose interests to save
I so obliged am, that I would neither
Should be dishonour'd, or wrong done to either:
And, LORD, as this, my chief design to be,
Thou knowest, so vouchsafe to prosper me.
