in Heaven,

Then not tofufei- this to fall to the Ground, but rather'h tale it up, and to continue it in thai State wherein the famovs Prede-
eejor of Tour Highnefs did leave it; nay, to go forward with the Confidence and Refolution of a Man in maintaining the Truth
^yChrift, and propagating it far a?id near, is that which hathfo bound and firmly knit the Hearts of all Tour Majefty's loyal and
religious People unto You, that llur very Name is precious among them; their Eye doth behold You zvith Confort, and fhev bkfs You
in their Hearts, as that fiiytliified Perfon, who, under God, is the immediate Author of their true Happincfs. And this "their Con-
tentment doth not diminijh or decay, but every Day increafeth and taketh Strength, when, they obferve, that the 2eal of Your Majefv
toward the Houfe of God doth not fiack, or go backward, but is more and more kindled, manifefting itf elf /.broad in thefartheft Parts
fl/Chriftendom, by zvriting in Defence of the Truth, {which hath given fuch a Bhw unto that Man of Sin as will not be healed,)
and every Day at Home, by religious and learned Difcourfe, by frementing the Houfe of God, by hearing the Word preached, by
therijhing the Teachers thereof, by caring for the Church, as a moft tender and loving nurfing Father.

There are infinite Arguments of this right Chriftian and religious Aff'emon in Ycur Maiefty; hut none is mere forcible to ctechre
it to others than the vehement and perpetuated Defire of the accompliftnng and publijoing of this Work, which now, with all Humility,
'we prefent unto _ Your Majefty, For when Your Highnefi had once, out of deep Judgment, apprehended how convenient it was, that
cut 0} the Original facrcd Tongues, together with comparing of the Labours, both in our ozon and other foreign Language^, of many
zvorthy Men zvho zvrnt before us, there Jhould be One more exaSf Tranjlation of the Hoh Scriptures into the Englifh Tcngx^e, Your
Majejly did never defifl to urge and to excite thofe to ivhom it zvas commended, that the Work might behafaned, and that the Bufinel\
might be expedited info decent a Manner as a Matter ofjuch Importance might jujlly require, '

And now at laji, by the Mercy of God, and the Continuance of our Labours, it being hroin^ht unto fv.ch a Conclufian, as that zve
have great Hopes that the Church of England fiiall reap good Fruit thereby, zve hold it our Duty to' ojfer it tn Your Majefty, not
cnly as to our King and Scvcreign, but as to the principal Mover and Author of the Work; humbly craving of Your moft fac'red Ma~
jelly, that, Jince Things of this polity have ever been fubjeSt to the Cenjufes of ill-tneaning and 'difcontenled Perfom, it may receive
approbation and Patronage from fo learned and judicious a Prince as Your Highnefs is ; luhofe Allotvance and Acceptance of our La^
boursJl.mil more honour and encourage us, than all the Calumniations and hard Interpretations of other Men Jhall difmay us. So that
if, on the one Side,wefimllbe traduced by Popifh PcrJ'ons at Home or Jbroad, zvho therefore zv! 11 malign us, becaufe zve are poor
Inftruments to make God s holy Truth to be yet more and more knozvn unto the People, zvhom they defire ftill to keep in Ignorance
and Darknefs; or if on the other Side, ive JImII be maligned by Jelf-c one cited Brethren, zvho run their ozvn Ways, and give Liking
-unto nothing but zv hat is framed by thcmfelves, and hammered on their Anvil; zve may reft fecure, fupported zvithin by the Truth
and Innocency of a good Conjcience, having walked the Ways of Simplicity and Integrity, as before' the Lord; and fuflained without
by the poiverfulProteaion of Your Majejly s Grace and Favour, which ivill ev.r give Countenance to honcft and Chriftian Endea-
vours againji bitter Cenjures and uncharitable hnputations.

The Lord of Heaven and Earth bkfs Your Majefty with many and happy Day: ; that, as his heavenly Hand hath enriched Your
