A seasonable Letter of Advice delivered to the Major of London ; as He was sitting at Common Councell at Guild-Hall , on Tuesday the 27. of December , and by Him read on the Bench . Right Honourable ,

YOur very good friends here present understand by some Members of your Councell , that you have many difficulties to wrastle with , which are cast in amongst you by ill-affected Members to the peace of this Nation . Your Adversaries will grow upon you by your delayes . The eyes of the Nation are upon you . Glory or shame will be your potion . Your Authority hath the only lawfull stamp ; all others are but pretenders : Resolution and Expedition are the Mothers of glorious actions . Sir , you are more neerly concerned in this glorious work then any other person . If by delayes the work succeedeth not , I dare assure you the fury of the People will unavoidable fall upon you : but I hope your good Example will prevent the ill consequence of it . The pretended Authority fear your Councell ; but their only hope is , you may as easily be misled by them , as you were caught by that silly Gull Fleetwood , by the pretence of a free Parliament . Verbum sapienti .

Your humble Servant and Wellwisher C. D.
