A true Coppy of the Petition of the Lord Maior Aldermen and the rest of the Common Councell of LONDON presented to the Honourable House of Peeres in PARLIAMENT March 18. 1641. To the Right Honourable the LORDS in the High Court of Parliament Assembled The humble Petition of the Maior Aldermen and the rest of the Common-councell of the City of London Sheweth THAT the Petitioners doe much rejoyce in the happy Concurrence of both Houses of Parliament as in other things so especially in that most necessary Ordinance touching the Militia of this Kingdome and Dominion of Wales VVhereunto the Petitioners doe most humbly and cheerfully submit for the safety of His Majesty the Parliament and Kingdome For the ordering whereof many pressing Petitions from most parts of the Kingdome have been exhibited in this time of imminent Dangers proceeding from the bloody Councells of Papists and others ill affected to the honour peace and prosperity of our most gracious King and his Kingdomes And the Petitioners doe likewise humbly returne all possible thanks unto this Honourable House for the great honour and high favour vouchsafed in giving them leave to nominate the Persons to whom the Militia of this City should be committed And for accepting and approving of the Nomination and return made to this Honourable House by the Petitioners on that behalfe But this their joy is much distured and interrupted by an untrue unadvised and dangerous Petition intituled The humle Petition of the Citizens of London whose names are under written directed and delivered in February last To the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament And since published in Print with this Title The humble Petition of the Citizens of London Thereby to publish it through the Kingdome as the Petition of all the Citizens Wherein is set forth as appeareth by one of those Printed Copies annexed that the ordering of the Armes of London hath time out of mind been annexed to the Maioralty of the said City That the conferring thereof upon others would reflect upon the government and Customes of this City granted by the great Charter of England and confirmed by divers Acts and Charters since that time and which every Freeman of the said City is by the Oath of his freedome bound to maintaine to the utmost of his power And that such Alteration in the ancient Government might breed great d●stractions and inconveniencies or to this effect Nor this alone but the Petitioners are yet more deeply wounded and grieved by the presumptuous boldnesse of the Publishers of the said Petition in Print by joyning therwith His Majesties Answer and denyall Intituled His Majesties Message to both Houses of Parliament February 28 1641. Which Answer as the Petitiones humbly conceive was grounded upon the said Petition and misinformation of some persons ill affected to His Majesty and to the City Who have thereby and otherwise often endeavoured to make divisions betwixt the King and the Parliament betwixt the Parliament and the City and betwixt the Citizens among themselves to the intollerable abuse of his sacred Majesty and of all his loyall Subjects And they verily beleeve that this bold publishing in Print of the said Petition and his Majesties Message which shortly after followed the exhibiting of the said Petition together in one printed paper was purposely done wickedly and seditiously to make divisions as aforesaid to beget an opinion throughout the Kingdome that the City of London doth not intend to conforme unto but complaine of and oppose the aforesaid Ordinance and to make the said Petition a desperate president to the rest of the Kingdome to doe the like Thereby to hinder the cheerfull needfull lawfull and unanimous Concurrence of the Kingdome in yeedling due full and timely obedience to the said Ordinance They doe therfore humbly pray That your Lordships will vouchsafe 1. To beleeve that neither this nor any other Petition of the like kinde ever came from the Petitioners nor was framed contrived or approved of by them And that they doe wholly and with detestation disavow and disclaime the same as an untrue unadvised and dangerous Petition 2. To put a difference betweene the Authors Contrivers Promoters Advisers Publishers and Printers of it and such as it shall appeare to this Honourable House were by subtilty drawne in unawares to subscribe the same without any malignant intention and shall clearely and fully acknowledge their error and rashnes therein And that this latter sort may have such lawfull favour as may stand with the honour and Iustice of the high Court of Parliament Lastly they doe humbly pray that your Lordships will still encrease their joy by endeavouring to uphold continue by all good meanes that blessed concurrence of both Houses of Parliament in all your great affaires and effectually to proceed against all disturbers and undermyners therof and that shall endeavour to beget or cherish any misunderstanding or to make division betwixt the King and Parliament whom God and the Lawes of this Land have vnited in so neere a Relation And they shall ever be ready to assist and stand by your Lordships therein with their Lives and Estates to the utmost of their Power according to their late Protestation And shall incessantly pray c.
