They; who to states and governors of the Commonwealth direct their speech; High Court of Parliament; or; wanting such access in a private condition; write that which they foresee may advance the public good; I suppose them; as at the beginning of no mean endeavour; not a little altered and moved inwardly in their minds: some with doubt of what will be the success; others with fear of what will be the censure; some with hope; others with confidence of what they have to speak. And me perhaps each of these dispositions; as the subject was whereon I entered; may have at other times variously affected; and likely might in these foremost expressions now also disclose which of them swayed most; but that the very attempt of this address thus made; and the thought of whom it hath recourse to; hath got the power within me to a passion; far more welcome than incidental to a preface.
