These numerous and pretending Applications were but false Glosses upon his Power and Cromwell was too wise to think them other gain'd by Contrivement Force or at least Importunity half a score pitiful wretches call themselves the people of such or such a County and here 's the Total of the Reckoning Thus far L'Estrange Momentop 30.

No what 's he Truem. Even a worshipful Roman Catholick Priest very lately if not still a Prisoner in the Gate-house for Religion forsooth 'T is a small Treatise of five or six sheets bound printed 1681. and to be sold by William Downing in Bartholomew Close The design on 't is

To the new Academy Truem. What to learn to ride an Hobby-horse and practice the noble science of defence with Bean stalks and Bull rushes Tory. No no our's is not Monsieur's vaulting-room but a Schola Illustris that undertakes to new model all Arts and sciences Truem. A gallant enterprize as how I prethee Tory. Why first we begin with Grammer and Correct the old fashion'd use of words and Phrases as for Example to Elect two persons shall henceforwards mean to chuse but one the lesser party is to be call'd A Majority Confirmation shall signifie He-go-mad or a fatal necessity of approbation without a dram of free-will in the Case and to desire people to do a thing must be interpreted that you do thereby actually do it your self in spight of their teeth in Geometry and Arithmetick our Doctors of the Chair teach that a part is greater than the whole and Twelve hundred more by a bundance than Four and twenty hundred Logick they affirm ought not to be the Art of Reasoning but of Scolding Truem.

I must tell you there are some there think themselves not a little oblig'd to that Reverend Guid else they would never have made him such a present Truem.

But as one Innocent mans blood is enough to draw down divine vengeance on the whole Nation so who knows where Blood hounds if once flesht would stop as to the present Controversy is it not fit to be consider'd 1. If my Lord Mayor be allow'd a Right to chuse one of the Sheriffs against the mind of the Common Hall then whether the Cities late plea to the quo Warranto in defence of the Charter be not thereby confess'd to be false and invali'd 2. If the Sheriffs for the time being have not a right to declare the free choise of Sheriffs for the year ensuing and to manage the Poll if any be demanded then whether we have had any Sheriffs duly chosen this hundred years for 't is certain the Sheriffs not the Mayors have done it nor did ever any Mayor Adjourn the Common-Hall before the business dispatcht but Sir Samuel Starling and he paid for it being cast at Law upon serious consideration of all the Judges Tory.
