THE SPEECH Of the Right Honourable Sir THOMAS LANE Kt Lord-Mayor Elect For the CITY of LONDON At Guild-Hall upon Michaelmas-day 1694. GENTLEMEN I Acknowledge your extraordinary Respects in Chusing Me to Serve You in the Highest Station of your Government I am very sensible of my own Unfitness for so great an Employment and could have much rather chose a Retirement but since you will have it so I shall by God's Assistance apply My self to the Work you have called Me. And for the carrying of it on I will take the best Advice and Direction of my Honoured Brethren of the Court of Aldermen and on every emergent Occasion call in the Assistance of your Representatives the Common-Councel And Gentlemen I desire your most Free Access unto me at all times For what By-Laws you will have Made or Repeal'd I will readily call a Common-Council as oft as you shall desire One thing I must beg of you That as I shall always Design and Endeavour nothing but the Publick Good so let my Actions receive a Favourable Construction and think me not so unworthy as to employ the Power and Trust you have invested in me to your Prejudice I shall be ambitious to follow my Worthy Predecessor in all the Good Ends of Government though I despair of coming up to his Great Example If Emulation be Commendable upon any Account it must certainly be upon so good a one as doing the Best Service for the Greatest City in Europe and for such Fellow-Citizens as have in the Worst of Times exposed Themselves to the Greatest Dangers for the Defence of their Religion and Liberties May the same Noble Principles still inspire you with a True Zeal for God your King and Country and may the Glorious King William and Queen Mary always be Happy in the utmost of your Affections and Assistances that the Tranquility of this City and of the Nation in general may Flourish London Printed for Tho.
