the_o humble_a desire_n of_o the_o loyal_a hearted_a well-affected_a freeman_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n in_o their_o several_a parish_n unto_o their_o several_a common-council-man_n by_o they_o entrust_v for_o the_o peace_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o city_n gentleman_n we_o have_v elect_v you_o as_o member_n of_o the_o common_a council_n of_o this_o city_n for_o our_o several_a precinct_n to_o preserve_v our_o liberty_n not_o enthral_v they_o to_o advance_v the_o public_a not_o your_o private_a interest_n and_o therefore_o may_v just_o challenge_v from_o you_o a_o account_n what_o as_o our_o proxy_n you_o have_v do_v to_o these_o end_n we_o find_v the_o whole_a kingdom_n groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o a_o oppress_a army_n present_v their_o grievance_n to_o the_o parliament_n whilst_o ourselves_o as_o if_o the_o interest_n of_o this_o city_n be_v disjoin_v from_o the_o public_a concernment_n be_v ready_a to_o be_v engage_v against_o they_o or_o at_o least_o to_o stand_v

of_o the_o city_n which_o be_v indeed_o into_o such_o hand_n as_o we_o the_o commoner_n of_o the_o city_n can_v confide_v in_o the_o commander_n in_o chief_a be_v a_o member_n of_o that_o army_n which_o so_o late_o threaten_v we_o and_o many_o other_o so_o particular_o interest_v that_o we_o have_v much_o reason_n to_o doubt_v they_o intend_v their_o own_o rather_o than_o the_o public_a

the_o militia_n of_o this_o city_n be_v put_v into_o such_o hand_n as_o this_o city_n shall_v confide_v in_o for_o their_o security_n 7._o that_o the_o colonel_n and_o captain_n of_o the_o train_a

servant_n for_o as_o we_o detest_v that_o late_a hypocritical_a fiction_n of_o their_o private_a list_n so_o we_o utter_o dislike_v the_o public_a list_n of_o they_o in_o regard_n we_o conceive_v
