the_o humble_a and_o hearty_a representation_n and_o engagement_n of_o the_o collective_a body_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o propound_v by_o they_o to_o the_o free-commoner_n of_o all_o the_o county_n city_n town_n and_o borough_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n and_o the_o dominion_n of_o wales_n to_o and_o with_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n and_o each_o one_o to_o other_o we_o can_v but_o deplore_v the_o sad_a condition_n of_o this_o late_o flourish_a kingdom_n which_o by_o the_o effusion_n of_o so_o much_o english_a blood_n already_o shed_v and_o the_o expense_n of_o loss_n of_o so_o many_o million_o of_o treasure_n the_o present_a commotion_n in_o some_o county_n the_o imminent_a danger_n of_o the_o invasion_n of_o foreigner_n and_o thereby_o more_o great_a and_o bloody_a war_n assure_o to_o ensue_v together_o with_o the_o general_a unsettlednes_n and_o unsatisfiednesse_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n which_o do_v all_o threaten_v the_o irrecoverable_a plunge_v of_o this_o poor_a kingdom_n into_o the_o bottomless_a gulf_n of_o despair_n and_o ruin_n all_o which_o be_v we_o must_v attribute_v chief_o and_o before_o all_o thing_n to_o the_o many_o cry_a sin_n of_o which_o this_o whole_a kingdom_n have_v be_v guilty_a just_o provoke_v god_n to_o be_v angry_a with_o we_o and_o thus_o severe_o to_o chastise_v we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v humble_v under_o his_o mighty_a hand_n so_o we_o can_v but_o observe_v those_o manifest_a and_o more_o mediate_a cause_n of_o this_o our_o great_a affliction_n which_o we_o can_v attribute_v to_o nothing_o so_o much_o and_o more_o obvious_a and_o apparent_a then_o to_o the_o great_a distance_n and_o misunderstanding_n which_o now_o for_o many_o year_n have_v continue_v betwixt_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n the_o happy_a compose_n of_o which_o we_o with_o patience_n continue_v to_o expect_v in_o god_n good_a time_n to_o see_v effect_v and_o now_o much_o the_o rather_o be_v our_o hope_n quicken_v our_o heart_n cheer_v and_o we_o refresh_v that_o notwithstanding_o the_o late_a vote_n of_o both_o house_n of_o no_o address_n to_o his_o majesty_n nor_o of_o his_o majesty_n to_o they_o which_o strike_v we_o with_o extreme_a amazement_n we_o perceive_v god_n have_v affect_v your_o heart_n not_o only_o to_o vote_n a_o address_n to_o his_o majesty_n but_o also_o to_o intend_v a_o personal_a treaty_n with_o he_o the_o only_a probable_a way_n under_o god_n that_o we_o know_v of_o to_o effect_v a_o perfect_a good_a understanding_n union_n and_o agreement_n betwixt_o his_o majesty_n and_o you_o so_o much_o desire_v by_o all_o and_o so_o to_o restore_v once_o more_o the_o bless_a voice_n of_o peace_n to_o this_o now_o languish_v and_o dye_v kingdom_n and_o as_o to_o so_o
