The Inhabitants of Berwick to General Monck

Right Honourable,

Haveing very laitely an opportunity to peruse a printed letter dated October 27 from your Lordshipp and the Officers under your command to the Officers at Whitehall, wherein you earnestly desire that there may be ane invitement maid to the Members of Parliament to returne to the discharge of thare dutyes in freedome and libertye, and likewise yow promise your utmost indeavours to regaine a good understanding betwixt the Parliament and the Officers of the Army at Whitehall, we could noe lesse then acknowledge to your Honours, that we thincke both ourselves and all that are well willers to the Comonwealth of Israell to bee deepely ingaged to your Lordshipp for makeing proffer of such an expedient of peace, which if it shall please the Lord to owne with his blessing will make many a good heart rejoyce that now sitts downe in ashes, waiteing what sad dispensations the Lord hath in store for us. By serious pondering that letter of yours we were stirr’d upp to write another to Whitehall, a coppy whereof we have inclosed for your perusall. What the issue of affaires will be we are unworthy to know; but laying downe our all at the feet of the Lord, the makeing use of such meanes we apprehended to be the duty of

Your Lordshipp’s humble Servants,
