Perhaps a bit of context is in order. Cromwell spoke in 1650 on the eve of the Battle of Dunbar where his New Model Army decisively defeated the army of the Scottish general David Leslie. The General Assembly of the Scottish Church (Kirk) held out for Charles II as King following the execution of his father Charles I. The British Parliament, on the other hand, had created a Parliament-led Commonwealth. Now Cromwell, with an overwhelming force, intended to force the Scots to conform. It was Cromwell's (lifetime) belief he acted on behalf of God that prompted his "advice" to the Scots. To answer your question directly, then, the delegation sent to convince these two senators should be convinced of the rightness (if not the righteousness) of their cause AND have the overwhelming numbers (or "divisions" if you prefer Stalin's POV) to demonstrate God's Favor.
Susan Collins represents Maine, one of the least religious states in the country. You have no leverage over her.
Lisa Murkowski represents Alaska, but she isn't up for reelection until 2028. We had a chance to primary her in 2022, but pro lifers didn't prioritize getting rid of her.
Reciting Cromwell isn't going to get senators to become pro life when doing so is against their personal and political interests.
