I Was By Birth A Gentleman, Living Neither In Any Considerable Height, Nor Yet In Obscurity. I Have Been Called To Several Employments In The Nation - To Serve In Parliaments, - And ( Because I Would Not Be Over Tedious ) I Did Endeavour To Discharge The Duty Of An Honest Man In Those Services, To God, And His People's Interest, And Of The Commonwealth; Having, When Time Was, A Competent Acceptation In The Hearts Of Men, And Some Evidence Thereof.
