believe_v they_o why_o gentleman_n neither_o of_o these_o be_v better_a know_v to_o we_o than_o that_o there_o be_v such_o tumult_n at_o westminster_n as_o may_v very_o well_o make_v the_o king_n think_v himself_o in_o danger_n we_o all_o well_o remember_v what_o excellent_a company_n flock_v by_o white-hall_n every_o day_n for_o a_o week_n before_o the_o king_n go_v to_o the_o house_n of_o

a_o guard_n to_o show_v how_o much_o he_o trust_v in_o our_o duty_n and_o affection_n i_o pray_v god_n the_o deceive_a that_o trust_n may_v never_o rise_v in_o judgement_n against_o this_o city_n we_o too_o well_o remember_v the_o rude_a carriage_n of_o many_o people_n to_o he_o as_o he_o go_v to_o the_o sheriff_n to_o dinner_n which_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o reprehend_v by_o any_o officer_n

white-hall_n there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o there_o be_v cause_n enough_o for_o his_o majesty_n to_o remove_v from_o white-hall_n and_o how_o quiet_o he_o stay_v after_o at_o hampton-court_n and_o

we_o then_o govern_v the_o city_n by_o direction_n of_o both_o house_n i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o speak_v slight_o of_o any_o person_n get_v into_o authority_n only_o we_o may_v say_v there_o be_v some_o among_o we_o we_o do_v not_o think_v two_o year_n ago_o to_o have_v meet_v here_o and_o yet_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o see_v a_o alderman_n come_v a_o dozen_o year_n off_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o

of_o the_o law_n and_o his_o majesty_n mercy_n if_o innocent_a will_v receive_v a_o honourable_a acquittal_n seem_v to_o i_o so_o just_a in_o the_o king_n to_o ask_v and_o so_o necessary_a for_o we_o
