To thee Oliver Cromwell, into whose hands God hath committed the sword of justice, that under thee all may be godly and quietly governed. A terror to the evil doers, and for the encouragement of them that do well, and to the rest of the army, whom the Lord hath set above all your enemies: And to all that are in authority, that you may more set up God in your hearts and consciences, and give liberty to that of God in all consciences, that his people may serve him without force or fear freely in spirit and truth, that the Lord may bless you, and establish you, and you may be so far honoured, as to perform what, in the times of your troubles, you did then promise in the presence of God, that his people should have liberty of conscience. To you all, I am moved of the Lord, to writ, as followeth.
