A58915	A seasonable caution to all loyal subjects, against antimonarchical principles in an answer to a pretended petition of the Common Hall, in London, assembled on Midsummer Day last, to the Honourable House of Commons : which is designed for a vindication of the Common Hall, as innocent of the affront and indignity thereby offered, by some ill-minded persons in their name, to the supreme authority.		1690 (1690)	Wing S2218; ESTC R13157	5,776	4

a_o seasonable_a caution_n to_o all_o loyal_a subject_n against_o antimonarchical_a principle_n in_o a_o answer_n to_o a_o pretend_a petition_n of_o the_o common_a hall_n in_o london_n assemble_v on_o midsummer-day_n last_o to_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o which_o be_v design_v for_o a_o vindication_n of_o the_o common_a hall_n as_o innocent_a of_o the_o affront_n and_o indignity_n thereby_o offer_v by_o some_o ill-minded_n person_n in_o their_o name_n to_o the_o supreme_a authority_n whereas_o the_o say_v print_v paper_n which_o verbatim_o follow_v in_o the_o last_o part_n of_o this_o sheet_n be_v soon_o after_o midsummer_n last_o publish_v under_o the_o title_n of_o a_o account_n of_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o common-hall_n on_o midsummer-day_n last_o thereby_o pretend_v it_o to_o be_v do_v to_o prevent_v misrepresentation_n and_o assert_v a_o petition_n therein_o set_v forth_o to_o be_v unanimous_o approve_v of_o and_o agree_v upon_o by_o that_o public_a assembly_n of_o the_o livery_n represent_v the_o whole_a city_n of_o london_n to_o be_v present_v to_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n to_o which_o this_o answer_n be_v then_o immediate_o print_v with_o allowance_n and_o some_o thousand_o put_v into_o the_o hawkers_o hand_n which_o be_v so_o industrious_o buy_v up_o or_o stifle_v that_o very_o few_o copy_n come_v to_o light_v but_o now_o the_o same_o paper_n have_v be_v as_o we_o be_v inform_v secret_o spread_v abroad_o among_o their_o majesty_n subject_n as_o well_o in_o the_o city_n as_o also_o into_o most_o corporation_n and_o other_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o what_o design_n let_v sober_a and_o think_v man_n judge_v to_o the_o great_a reproach_n of_o this_o city_n and_o dissatisfaction_n of_o many_o honest_a and_o well-meaning_a person_n who_o from_o thence_o and_o from_o the_o restless_a endeavour_n of_o some_o man_n who_o by_o the_o same_o unusual_a method_n which_o they_o condemn_v as_o crime_n in_o other_o do_v now_o create_v and_o set_v up_o instrument_n to_o serve_v their_o own_o turn_v though_o to_o the_o disturbance_n and_o hazard_n of_o the_o public_a we_o be_v under_o a_o necessity_n by_o this_o answer_n again_o to_o countermine_v such_o dangerous_a and_o pernicious_a engineer_n we_o can_v imagine_v it_o be_v so_o print_v and_o publish_v with_o any_o colour_n of_o authority_n but_o must_v rather_o conclude_v it_o be_v do_v by_o some_o ill_a mind_a person_n to_o cast_v a_o odium_n on_o this_o great_a city_n and_o to_o create_v misunderstanding_n between_o their_o majesty_n subject_n under_o a_o disguise_n of_o opposition_n to_o popery_n though_o principal_o design_v to_o serve_v their_o own_o turn_n it_o be_v true_a and_o can_v be_v deny_v than_o a_o small_a number_n of_o citizen_n when_o so_o due_o assemble_v make_v a_o common-hall_n and_o the_o petition_n in_o that_o sense_n may_v not_o improper_o be_v so_o style_v but_o it_o do_v not_o from_o thence_o follow_v that_o the_o matter_n contain_v therein_o be_v assent_v unto_o so_o as_o to_o be_v approve_v of_o and_o desire_v by_o more_o person_n than_o be_v so_o assemble_v together_o and_o personal_o present_v approve_v of_o the_o same_o when_o it_o be_v read_v and_o propose_v to_o they_o and_o therefore_o we_o do_v judge_v it_o a_o duty_n high_o incumbent_a on_o we_o as_o we_o be_v member_n of_o that_o great_a body_n and_o be_v the_o same_o day_n present_a in_o common_a hall_n but_o hear_v not_o one_o word_n of_o that_o petition_n to_o publish_v this_o apology_n on_o behalf_n of_o ourselves_o and_o the_o whole_a city_n as_o a_o vindication_n of_o that_o great_a body_n humble_o offer_v to_o their_o sacred_a majesty_n and_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n as_o also_o to_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n for_o which_o we_o have_v this_o to_o say_v that_o the_o author_n and_o manager_n of_o that_o imposture_n be_v either_o afraid_a or_o ashamed_a to_o own_v it_o and_o this_o we_o do_v also_o to_o prevent_v as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v the_o evil_a influence_n that_o paper_n may_v have_v on_o the_o mind_n of_o easy_a and_o credulous_a person_n to_o the_o end_n truth_n itself_o which_o need_v no_o little_a art_n

the_o petition_n and_o what_o entertainment_n it_o meet_v withal_o from_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o as_o more_o fit_a for_o consideration_n of_o our_o superior_n and_o only_o take_v notice_n how_o vehement_a and_o earnest_a some_o man_n be_v in_o that_o great_a assembly_n to_o put_v the_o commoner_n in_o nomination_n before_o the_o sit_v alderman_n which_o great_o surprise_v many_o of_o the_o elector_n and_o it_o be_v manifest_a scarce_o one_o in_o twenty_o understand_v the_o question_n when_o it_o be_v put_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o noise_n and_o opposition_n which_o be_v make_v by_o those_o that_o do_v apprehend_v it_o and_o it_o can_v not_o but_o be_v matter_n of_o trouble_n to_o such_o as_o sober_o desire_v and_o consult_v the_o public_a peace_n and_o tranquillity_n of_o this_o city_n to_o observe_v what_o earnest_a endeavour_n be_v use_v to_o invert_v order_n and_o decency_n therein_o as_o it_o be_v shift_v foot_n and_o face_n by_o postpone_v such_o as_o be_v already_o advance_v to_o the_o dignity_n of_o senator_n to_o their_o inferior_n in_o nomination_n and_o to_o behold_v such_o a_o zeal_n for_o particular_a person_n as_o if_o they_o have_v combine_v and_o

the_o public_a election_n for_o truth_n whereof_o we_o appeal_v to_o those_o many_o hundred_o then_o present_a who_o be_v all_o ready_a to_o attest_v the_o same_o when_o the_o choice_n of_o the_o
