that_o the_o papist_n have_v for_o the_o carry_v of_o it_o on_o and_o that_o what_o they_o have_v already_o vote_v against_o the_o duke_n we_o all_o aught_o to_o take_v special_a notice_n of_o for_o though_o it_o come_v not_o up_o quite_o to_o a_o law_n yet_o it_o come_v very_o nigh_o it_o as_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o all_o the_o commons_o of_o england_n and_o that_o both_o house_n of_o

that_o they_o shall_v find_v the_o english_a nation_n will_v value_v his_o majesty_n life_n at_o a_o high_a rate_n than_o ever_o any_o prince_n life_n in_o europe_n have_v be_v value_v at_o and_o that_o for_o his_o part_n he_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o his_o own_o life_n especial_o upon_o so_o good_a a_o account_n for_o that_o he_o be_v very_o well_o assure_v that_o though_o his_o enemy_n shall_v kill_v he_o they_o will_v but_o thereby_o hasten_v his_o departure_n to_o a_o great_a glory_n that_o there_o be_v a_o popish_a priest_n late_o come_v in_o who_o have_v make_v a_o further_a

here_o a_o account_n of_o which_o he_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o will_v be_v publish_v to_o the_o world_n in_o a_o short_a time_n that_o therefore_o they_o the_o citizen_n of_o london_n address_v themselves_o to_o his_o lordship_n as_o their_o head_n and_o chief_a magistrate_n in_o the_o city_n and_o do_v therefore_o desire_v his_o lordship_n that_o their_o guard_n may_v be_v double_v and_o that_o instead_o of_o two_o company_n four_o may_v go_v out_o every_o night_n they_o not_o come_v upon_o duty_n but_o once_o in_o twelve_o night_n which_o will_v be_v very_o easy_a and_o which_o

there_o go_v out_o eight_o company_n in_o a_o night_n their_o present_a danger_n be_v rather_o great_a he_o offer_v also_o one_o politic_a reason_n to_o his_o lordship_n which_o be_v this_o that_o the_o late_a long_a parliament_n and_o also_o the_o last_o parliament_n take_v so_o much_o notice_n of_o the_o great_a charge_n care_n and_o diligence_n of_o the_o city_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o majesty_n person_n and_o the_o protestant_a interest_n which_o have_v so_o much_o influence_n towards_o the_o preserve_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n that_o they_o be_v extreme_o incline_v to_o show_v their_o good_a affection_n and_o kindness_n to_o the_o city_n by_o all_o way_n imaginable_a and_o that_o therefore_o the_o slacken_a their_o care_n and_o guard_n at_o such_o a_o time_n as_o this_o when_o danger_n seem_v as_o apparent_a as_o ever_o and_o the_o fear_n and_o jealousy_n of_o the_o people_n be_v so_o very_o great_a as_o the_o like_a be_v hardly_o ever_o know_v may_v possible_o it_o may_v in_o some_o measure_n lessen_v that_o kindness_n to_o the_o city_n in_o the_o next_o parliament_n which_o be_v so_o remarkable_a in_o the_o last_o since_o it_o be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v doubt_v but_o the_o popish_a faction_n will_v endeavour_v by_o all_o mean_v imaginable_a to_o make_v the_o counsel_n and_o advice_n of_o the_o next_o parliament_n ineffectual_a that_o it_o

that_o he_o will_v desire_v his_o lordship_n to_o proceed_v in_o this_o great_a and_o necessary_a affair_n as_o god_n shall_v direct_v he_o with_o several_a other_o excellent_a expression_n to_o

next_o for_o that_o by_o so_o numerous_a a_o assembly_n as_o be_v then_o present_a they_o may_v possible_o give_v some_o occasion_n of_o offence_n his_o lordship_n also_o tell_v they_o that_o he_o
