a_o humble_a address_n to_o the_o livery-man_n of_o london_n relate_v to_o the_o election_n of_o sheriff_n by_o a_o lover_n of_o his_o king_n and_o country_n gentleman_n there_o be_v now_o among_o we_o who_o bear_v true_a allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n or_o have_v a_o real_a kindness_n for_o the_o government_n either_o in_o church_n and_o state_n but_o must_v be_v fill_v with_o consternation_n at_o the_o dally_a feud_n and_o animosites_n that_o be_v prevalent_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o we_o and_o if_o the_o method_n one_o that_o of_o our_o loyal_a and_o prudent_a parliament_n former_o take_v be_v put_v in_o eexecution_n to_o wit_n to_o retrospect_n the_o past_a action_n of_o some_o citizen_n among_o we_o we_o may_v then_o plain_o see_v whence_o these_o animosity_n take_v their_o rise_n and_o by_o what_o artifices_fw-la they_o be_v still_o carry_v on_o my_o design_n and_o intention_n of_o expose_v these_o ensue_a line_n to_o public_a view_n be_v not_o to_o incite_v man_n ta_o rancour_n and_o malice_n but_o to_o reduce_v they_o to_o a_o more_o quiet_a and_o sedate_v temper_v i_o therefore_o earnest_o desire_v that_o in_o the_o perusal_n of_o they_o all_o prejudice_n and_o self-interest_n may_v be_v lay_v aside_o for_o the_o continue_a design_n of_o the_o author_n be_v to_o promote_v love_n and_o union_n and_o to_o beget_v a_o right_a understanding_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o men._n gentleman_n it_o be_v obvious_a to_o you_o all_o that_o the_o election_n of_o sheriff_n be_v become_v the_o discourse_n of_o city_n and_o country_n and_o it_o be_v happy_a if_o a_o expedient_a be_v find_v out_o in_o order_n to_o the_o preservation_n of_o my_o lord_n mayor_n prerogative_n and_o to_o prevent_v a_o invasion_n upon_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o commons_o as_o to_o my_o lord_n mayor_n drink_v to_o a_o person_n and_o the_o commons_o usual_a confirm_v of_o that_o person_n have_v be_v so_o constant_o practise_v that_o it_o will_v be_v impertinent_a to_o enlarge_v on_o that_o subject_a i_o shall_v only_o crave_v leave_n to_o premise_v one_o thing_n before_o i_o come_v to_o enter_v upon_o the_o main_a drift_n of_o my_o discourse_n there_o be_v no_o citizen_n i_o suppose_v but_o have_v hear_v a_o large_a character_n of_o the_o worth_n and_o ability_n both_o in_o purse_n and_o person_n of_o the_o gentleman_n drink_v to_o by_o my_o lord_n mayor_n and_o the_o main_a objection_n that_o i_o hear_v of_o that_o bear_v weight_n be_v his_o be_v unacquainted_a with_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o city_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o short_a time_n he_o have_v reside_v among_o we_o much_o may_v be_v urge_v pro_n and_o con._n but_o i_o will_v not_o undertake_v at_o present_a to_o defend_v or_o gainsay_v but_o this_o i_o must_v take_v the_o freedom_n to_o assert_v that_o some_o person_n among_o we_o through_o the_o inadvertency_n of_o their_o action_n and_o the_o arrogancy_n of_o their_o mind_n and_o seek_v to_o become_v popular_a have_v make_v themselves_o liable_a to_o justice_n and_o be_v fearful_a of_o come_v to_o the_o test_n and_o upon_o that_o score_n they_o influence_n the_o commons_o to_o embark_v in_o their_o cause_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n infufe_v fear_n and_o jealousy_n and_o a_o dislike_n of_o such_o person_n who_o will_v not_o be_v influence_v by_o their_o principle_n and_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o conscience_n of_o all_o unbiased_a man_n whether_o what_o i_o have_v assert_v be_v not_o a_o real_a truth_n or_o else_o why_o be_v not_o this_o gentleman_n confirm_v by_o you_o as_o well_o as_o several_a other_o have_v be_v several_a year_n together_o i_o think_v it_o be_v obvious_a to_o you_o all_o that_o whoever_o he_o or_o they_o be_v that_o advise_v my_o lord_n to_o send_v forth_o so_o unusual_a a_o precept_n for_o the_o summon_n a_o common-hall_n on_o midsummer_n day_n do_v at_o the_o same_o time_n do_v the_o great_a prejudice_n to_o that_o worthy_a and_o loyal_a gentleman_n mr._n north_n that_o lie_v in_o their_o power_n for_o before_o the_o issue_v forth_o of_o that_o precept_n he_o be_v high_a in_o esteem_n in_o the_o good_a opinion_n of_o the_o majority_n of_o the_o citizen_n and_o he_o have_v certain_o be_v confirm_v but_o it_o be_v that_o which_o be_v the_o real_a cause_n of_o those_o fear_n and_o jealofies_n and_o the_o incitement_n of_o those_o feud_n among_o we_o and_o that_o precept_n have_v do_v the_o great_a diskindness_n to_o my_o lord_n mayor_n by_o create_v in_o man_n mind_n a_o misbelief_n and_o a_o great_a mistrust_n of_o his_o action_n as_o if_o he_o intend_v a_o invasion_n upon_o the_o right_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o commons_o it_o be_v matter_n of_o wonder_n and_o astonishment_n that_o any_o inferior_a officer_n belong_v to_o the_o lord_n mayor_n and_o court_n of_o alderman_n shall_v assume_v to_o himself_o so_o great_a a_o confidence_n as_o to_o impose_v a_o paper_n entitle_v brief_a collection_n upon_o that_o honourable_a court_n and_o crave_v their_o licens_v it_o so_o full_a of_o falfification_n i_o very_o believe_v my_o lord_n mayor_n will_v have_v great_a cause_n when_o a_o scrutiny_n come_v to_o be_v make_v of_o the_o transaction_n of_o midsomer-day_n to_o return_v his_o hearty_a thanks_o backward_o to_o some_o person_n who_o will_v pretend_v themselves_o to_o be_v loyal_a to_o the_o king_n and_o government_n be_v very_o earnest_a with_o my_o lord_n to_o come_v and_o dissolve_v the_o poll._n and_o there_o be_v some_o sober_a and_o loyal_a citizen_n that_o observe_v all_o transaction_n and_o take_v special_a notice_n who_o it_o be_v that_o come_v before_o my_o lord_n coach_n crying-out_a huzza_n boy_n here_o come_v my_o lord_n be_v this_o a_o deportment_n become_v anysobe_a citizen_n i_o appeal_v to_o all_o loyal_a person_n and_o this_o

mind_v his_o business_n i_o wonder_v with_o what_o confidence_n such_o a_o person_n dare_v presume_v to_o appear_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o prince_n who_o have_v so_o flend_a a_o repute_n among_o that_o eminent_a wealthy_a loyal_a citizen_n that_o they_o account_v he_o not_o worth_a associate_a with_o and_o they_o wonder_v to_o see_v he_o come_v home_o sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o a_o true_o loyal_a citizen_n in_o his_o coach_n the_o appellation_n of_o martain_n marral_n be_v true_o applicable_a to_o he_o and_o certain_o mr._n chase_v his_o majesty_n apoth_n who_o be_v the_o loyal_a and_o so_o well_o belove_v among_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o chief_a citzen_n will_v be_v so_o just_a to_o they_o and_o loyal_a to_o his_o majesty_n as_o to_o give_v he_o a_o true_a

there_o be_v occasion_n of_o serve_v the_o king_n in_o purse_n or_o person_n they_o will_v both_o quick_o grow_v cool_v i_o can_v hearty_o wish_v that_o the_o appellation_n of_o tory_n and_o whigg_n may_v be_v obliterated_a among_o we_o and_o that_o we_o may_v all_o join_v hand_n in_o hand_n resolve_v to_o fear_n god_n and_o honour_n the_o king_n and_o to_o promote_v those_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v acceptable_a to_o the_o king_n and_o advantageous_a to_o the_o city_n and_o in_o order_n to_o that_o establishment_n of_o that_o happy_a union_n i_o will_v propose_v but_o not_o impose_v some_o thing_n to_o the_o serious_a consideration_n of_o all_o sober_a citizen_n my_o lord_n have_v order_v a_o account_n to_o be_v send_v into_o the_o town-clark_n office_n of_o all_o the_o livery_n which_o

upon_o his_o order_v the_o poll_n to_o cease_v they_o have_v not_o poll_v they_o therefore_o crave_v a_o new_a election_n if_o my_o lord_n please_v to_o summon_v a_o new_a hall_n and_o to_o wave_v
