THE Attestation of the Ministers OF THE County of Norfolk, and City of Norwich: In Vindication of the Ancient Truths of JESUS CHRIST.

Reverend and much esteemed Brethren in the Lord,

WEE your Brethren and Fellow-labourers in the worke of the Lord, within the County of Nor­folk, and County and City of Nor­wich, having gladly perused your late exemplary and gratious Testimony to the saving Truths of Jesus Christ, and to our Solemn League and Covenant, as also a­gainst the Errors, Heresies, and Blasphemies, [Page 4]which have spread in these unhappy times, through the too great connivence at them, cannot but from the ground of our hearts, thankfully render eternall praises to the God of all Grace and Truth, for his grace made ma­nifest to you, and his truth attested by your in moving your Spirits so seasonably to own and bear witnesse to those Divine and Fun­damentall Truths, which many through ig­norance or wilfull blindnesse, have endea­voured to trample under foot, to the great dishonour of God, and to the eclipsing of the glorious light of the Gospell of Jesus Christ: To this so faithfull Testimony of yours, should wee not cheerfully and unani­mously subscribe our hands; and seale it with our bloods (if the Lord should call us there­unto) wee could not but judge our selves unworthy of, and unfaithfull in the high and holy callings of our Ministery. Wee there­fore witnesse to God, Angels, and Men, the constant desires and longings of our soules, to bee strengthned in the Lord, and in the power of his might, to live and dye with you in the defence of the Truths of Jesus Christ: [Page 5]Goe on therefore (Reverend and beloved Brethren) being in nothing terrified by the legions of the Churches-Enemies: still stand Centinels for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in this Kingdom, to give us the Alarm as the adversaries shall farther appear, till the mouth of all wickednesse be stopped, and the tongues of those that speak perverse things, nothing doubting but that wee (though the weakest and most unworthy of the messen­gers of Jesus Christ) are of the same spirit with you, and stedfast to our Solemn League and Covenant, and to the ancient Truths of Iesus Christ. With which resolution praying the God of Grace to double his Spirit of zeal up­on you, and all that stand up in the defence of his pretious Truths, making you further instrumentall in promoting the Lords work; Wee rest, subscribing our selves,

Your Fellow-labourers who are also ready through the strength of our God to be Fellow-suffer­ers with you, Robert.
