a_o brief_a answer_n to_o a_o book_n entitle_v his_o majesty_n letter_n and_o declaration_n to_o the_o sheriff_n and_o city_n of_o london_n jan._n 30_o london_n print_v in_o the_o year_n 1642._o a_o answer_n to_o his_o majesty_n letter_n and_o declaration_n to_o the_o sheriff_n and_o city_n of_o london_n first_o we_o be_v glad_a to_o find_v that_o there_o be_v yet_o some_o hope_n they_o will_v look_v to_o the_o peace_n and_o happiness_n of_o that_o city_n and_o at_o last_o sever_v themselves_o from_o any_o faction_n or_o dependence_n which_o may_v insensible_o involve_v they_o in_o those_o calamity_n they_o do_v not_o foresee_v it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o mortal_n but_o the_o cause_n i_o know_v not_o to_o rest_v secure_a in_o his_o own_o thought_n when_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o other_o he_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o great_a casualty_n nay_o so_o averse_a be_v they_o that_o when_o reason_n can_v promise_v a_o happy_a success_n to_o their_o bad_a attempt_n they_o make_v it_o a_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o believe_v that_o for_o a_o absolute_a certainty_n which_o in_o itself_o i●_n less_o than_o probable_a i_o wish_v this_o disease_n may_v never_o steal_v into_o the_o royal_a but_o if_o his_o word_n be_v scan_v it_o will_v breed_v a_o jealousy_n of_o his_o inclination_n to_o that_o distemper_n for_o if_o he_o be_v not_o how_o can_v he_o imagine_v that_o the_o city_n of_o london_n shall_v now_o after_o so_o many_o desperate_a design_n be_v insensible_a of_o the_o misery_n that_o will_v ensue_v the_o conquest_n if_o obtain_v by_o their_o adversary_n sure_o they_o about_o his_o majesty_n have_v not_o that_o power_n over_o his_o rational_a faculty_n as_o to_o possess_v he_o with_o a_o thought_n of_o divinity_n inhaerent_a in_o they_o as_o if_o their_o way_n be_v like_a god_n past_o find_v out_o or_o if_o his_o majesty_n do_v but_o weigh_v the_o several_a accident_n and_o passage_n that_o have_v happen_v since_o these_o difference_n he_o will_v find_v no_o promise_n from_o god_n of_o the_o victory_n nay_o i_o be_o confident_a his_o tender_a heart_n can_v be_v free_a from_o some_o fear_n second_v with_o pregnant_a reason_n wh●r●on_o he_o may_v ground_v a_o belief_n of_o his_o loss_n and_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v yet_o get_v the_o city_n may_v continue_v as_o zealous_a for_o the_o parliament_n as_o ever_o they_o be_v and_o with_o no_o less_o safety_n than_o their_o diligence_n have_v hitherto_o with_o god_n assistance_n purchase_v for_o they_o second_o with_o that_o answer_n of_o we_o we_o send_v a_o servant_n of_o our_o own_o to_o require_v and_o see_v that_o it_o may_v be_v communicate_v to_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o that_o our_o city_n but_o instead_o of_o that_o admission_n we_o expect_v to_o our_o

majesty_n do_v so_o confide_v in_o those_o ill_a instrument_n about_o he_o who_o but_o the_o messenger_n himself_o can_v make_v that_o false_a report_n be_v there_o at_o any_o time_n this_o twenty_o year_n more_o present_a at_o a_o common-council_n than_o at_o that_o or_o do_v they_o keep_v out_o any_o that_o have_v right_o by_o custom_n to_o be_v then_o present_a and_o for_o those_o that_o have_v no_o right_n his_o majesty_n himself_o do_v implicit_a acknowledge_v how_o just_o they_o be_v keep_v out_o for_o he_o say_v in_o this_o his_o letter_n and_o declartion_n to_o the_o sheriff_n that_o speech_n be_v make_v by_o stranger_n who_o be_v admit_v the_o city_n counsel_n contrary_a to_o the_o freedom_n and_o custom_n of_o those_o meeting_n now_o if_o those_o that_o make_v speech_n have_v no_o right_a to_o be_v there_o and_o those_o that_o be_v keep_v out_o by_o the_o guard_n have_v as_o little_a right_n as_o they_o then_o his_o majesty_n do_v implicit_o commend_v the_o keep_n of_o those_o out_o and_o yet_o in_o another_o place_n of_o that_o declaration_n he_o blame_v they_o for_o keep_v they_o out_o and_o for_o the_o entertainment_n of_o his_o servant_n that_o bring_v the_o message_n what_o great_a respect_n can_v be_v show_v he_o than_o the_o admittance_n of_o his_o presence_n and_o what_o fair_a play_n can_v there_o be_v than_o that_o above_o board_n the_o messenger_n himself_o be_v make_v a_o witness_n of_o that_o day_n work_n three_o that_o all_o our_o good_a subject_n may_v clear_o understand_v how_o far_o we_o have_v be_v from_o beget_v how_o far_o we_o be_v from_o continue_v and_o from_o nourish_v these_o unnatural_a civil_a dissension_n and_o how_o much_o it_o be_v in_o their_o own_o power_n to_o remove_v the_o present_a pressure_n and_o to_o establ_v sh_z the_o future_a happiness_n and_o glory_n of_o that_o famous_a city_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o believe_v of_o all_o that_o his_o majesty_n do_v not_o beget_v these_o distraction_n but_o it_o be_v know_v by_o who_o they_o have_v be_v maintain_v since_o their_o birth_n i_o mean_v by_o who_o authority_n though_o his_o warrant_n as_o be_v probable_a have_v be_v use_v about_o that_o which_o be_v never_o intend_v at_o his_o grant_n of_o they_o and_o it_o be_v clear_o to_o be_v discern_v how_o easy_o they_o may_v remove_v the_o present_a pressure_n and_o it_o be_v as_o clear_o to_o be_v discern_v how_o if_o they_o take_v that_o way_n prescribe_v to_o they_o to_o remove_v their_o present_a misery_n they_o will_v bring_v great_a misery_n in_o their_o stead_n and_o great_a of_o all_o to_o their_o posterity_n for_o the_o way_n prescribe_v be_v in_o effect_v this_o that_o the_o city_n shall_v first_o apprehend_v a_o inability_n to_o make_v resistance_n and_o then_o yield_v themselves_o to_o the_o cruel_a mercy_n of_o those_o who_o have_v so_o far_o possess_v his_o majesty_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v apprehend_v the_o parliament_n man_n and_o other_o good_a commonwealth_n man_n as_o fast_o as_o the_o king_n accuse_v they_o till_o at_o last_o there_o will_v be_v none_o leave_v to_o defend_v the_o kingdom_n now_o if_o this_o be_v do_v the_o war_n will_v doubtless_o cease_v and_o these_o present_a pressure_n will_v be_v remove_v not_o take_v away_o but_o draw_v into_o great_a mischief_n that_o will_v follow_v so_o that_o then_o the_o cure_n be_v worse_o than_o the_o disease_n for_o by_o this_o kind_n of_o physic_n you_o may_v tamper_v with_o the_o body_n to_o cure_v a_o fever_n that_o be_v spot_v and_o turn_v it_o to_o the_o plague_n four_o we_o do_v hereby_o declare_v the_o say_a isaac_n pennington_n not_o to_o be_v major_a of_o that_o our_o city_n of_o london_n and_o to_o have_v no_o lawful_a authority_n to_o exercise_v the_o same_o and_o that_o our_o good_a subject_n of_o that_o our_o city_n ought_v not_o to_o submit_v to_o any_o order_n direction_n or_o command_v which_o shall_v issue_v from_o he_o as_o lord_n major_n here_o his_o majesty_n have_v excuse_v the_o lord_n major_n for_o not_o send_v a_o warrant_n to_o apprehend_v he_o that_o say_v he_o hope_v to_o wash_v his_o hand_n in_o his_o majesty_n blood_n it_o seem_v he_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o do_v it_o but_o i_o rather_o hope_v his_o majesty_n be_v misinform_v for_o those_o word_n if_o they_o be_v speak_v by_o any_o man_n may_v well_o have_v be_v question_v by_o the_o same_o authority_n that_o other_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o but_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o those_o which_o inform_v his_o majesty_n of_o that_o either_o know_v more_o than_o my_o lord_n major_n do_v in_o that_o particular_a or_o else_o wilful_o injure_v my_o lord_n by_o his_o false_a report_n but_o hour_n if_o some_o ceremony_n be_v not_o perform_v which_o use_v to_o be_v sollemnize_v nay_o though_o he_o have_v not_o be_v choose_v by_o the_o city_n yet_o he_o have_v authority_n from_o the_o parliament_n for_o what_o he_o do_v and_o which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o force_v a_o obedience_n from_o those_o within_o his_o liberty_n but_o it_o be_v most_o likely_a that_o he_o be_v choose_v by_o the_o major_a part_n for_o if_o the_o city_n do_v trust_v he_o with_o the_o government_n of_o their_o estate_n in_o the_o parliament_n house_n sure_o they_o will_v trust_v he_o with_o their_o charter_n and_o to_o govern_v the_o city_n and_o alderman_n cordwell_n be_v know_v before_o as_o well_o as_o now_o and_o why_o have_v they_o not_o choose_v he_o to_o sit_v in_o parliament_n before_o alderman_n pennington_n if_o he_o have_v be_v better_o belove_v or_o if_o the_o city_n have_v be_v so_o opinionate_a of_o he_o but_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o many_o be_v offend_v because_o this_o lord_n major_n be_v choose_v before_o other_o that_o be_v his_o senio●_n ald_n but_o for_o those_o that_o be_v offend_v they_o must_v needs_o know_v it_o be_v without_o cause_n and_o so_o they_o may_v guess_v how_o they_o shall_v be_v please_v for_o the_o office_n of_o major_n go_v not_o in_o order_n but_o by_o election_n for_o otherwise_o the_o city_n may_v be_v enforce_v to_o have_v a_o major_n that_o may_v undo_v the_o city_n but_o it_o have_v be_v the_o care_n of_o former_a age_n as_o i_o may_v say_v to_o provide_v better_o for_o this_o city_n finis_fw-la
