the_o title_n they_o petition_v to_o the_o king_n most_o excellent_a majesty_n in_o who_o hand_n there_o be_v power_n and_o we_o do_v hope_n in_o who_o heart_n there_o have_v be_v a_o will_n to_o

petitioner_n the_o humble_a petition_n of_o the_o mayor_n alderman_n and_o commons_o of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n a_o act_n of_o the_o joint_a body_n of_o the_o whole_a city_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v hope_v most_o likely_a to_o prevail_v with_o his_o majesty_n thus_o for_o the_o title_n second_o for_o the_o preamble_n and_o therein_o be_v contain_v the_o petitioner_n grievance_n as_o the_o ground_n of_o their_o prayer_n and_o they_o be_v three_o first_o the_o division_n between_o his_o majesty_n and_o parliament_n second_o the_o sad_a effect_n thereof_o both_o here_o and_o in_o ireland_n three_o the_o misapprehension_n conceive_v in_o his_o majesty_n of_o the_o petitioner_n love_n and_o loyalty_n and_o from_o hence_o they_o promise_v his_o majesty_n and_o profess_v that_o as_o they_o be_v for_o the_o present_a so_o they_o will_v always_o continue_v his_o loyal_a obedient_a and_o love_a subject_n promise_v according_a to_o their_o protestation_n and_o vow_n make_v before_o almighty_a god_n that_o they_o will_v defend_v the_o true_a protestant_a religion_n and_o their_o allegiance_n his_o royal_a majesty_n honour_n and_o estate_n as_o well_o as_o the_o power_n and_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n and_o the_o lawful_a right_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_n and_o whereas_o his_o majesty_n have_v take_v offence_n at_o tumult_n from_o the_o city_n they_o engage_v themselves_o their_o estate_n and_o all_o they_o have_v to_o their_o utmost_a power_n to_o defend_v and_o preserve_v his_o maiesity_n and_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n from_o all_o tumult_n affront_n and_o violence_n with_o as_o much_o loyalty_n love_n and_o duty_n as_o ever_o citizen_n express_v towards_o his_o majesty_n or_o any_o of_o his_o royal_a progenitor_n in_o their_o great_a glory_n this_o be_v the_o preamble_n of_o the_o petition_n three_o in_o the_o prayer_n we_o may_v note_v 1._o the_o mean_n of_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o most_o humble_a submissive_a manner_n as_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o they_o to_o do_v the_o petitioner_n therefore_o upon_o their_o bend_a knee_n do_v most_o humble_o beseech_v your_o majesty_n etc._n etc._n 2._o the_o matter_n of_o the_o petition_n and_o that_o be_v twofold_a first_o that_o his_o majesty_n will_v be_v please_v to_o return_v to_o his_o parliament_n with_o his_o royal_a and_o not_o his_o martial_a attendant_n second_o that_o such_o a_o peace_n may_v be_v conclude_v upon_o as_o may_v be_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o honour_n and_o happiness_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o his_o posterity_n the_o safety_n and_o welfare_n of_o all_o his_o loyal_a subject_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o petition_n wherein_o for_o person_n manner_n and_o matter_n envy_v itself_o can_v suggest_v the_o very_a lest_o miscarriage_n who_o can_v have_v otherways_o think_v but_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v have_v such_o a_o answer_n to_o such_o a_o petition_n so_o manage_v as_o may_v at_o least_o have_v cause_v our_o peace_n and_o happiness_n after_o our_o dismal_a distraction_n as_o the_o spring_n after_o winter_n to_o have_v bud_v in_o our_o heart_n but_o alas_o this_o unexpected_a answer_n if_o it_o be_v the_o true_a answer_n to_o the_o petition_n have_v like_o a_o nip_a frost_n kill_v our_o hope_n in_o the_o very_a bud_n and_o it_o can_v be_v otherways_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o
