Mayor . At a Common Councel holden in the Guildhall London , on Tuesday the 20th of December , 1659.

THis Court having taken notice of divers Affronts put upon the Right Honourable Thomas Aleyn , the present Lord-Mayor of this City with many false and scandalous Aspertions cast upon his Lordship , and the Committee appointed by this Court to confer with the Lord Fleetwood touching the Peace and Safety of this City : as if they had deserted their Trust , or betrayed the Rights and Liberties of this City , And in particuler , that the said Committee seemed satisfied withthe Limitations of Parliament , called the seven Principles or unalterable Fundamentals , printed in a late scandalous Pamphlet stiled The Publick Intelligencer ; The said Committee here openly declaring that they never heard the said Principles , or had them any way Communicated to them , much less ever Consented to the same or any of them .

This Court being deeply sensible of these great Indignities , doth declare , That the said Lord-Mayor is so far from deserving any of the said Affronts or Aspertions , that he hath highly merited the great Honour and Esteem of this Court and the whole City , having in all things demeaned himself with much Prudence and faithful Integrity to this City and Court , which doth therefore return his Lordship their most hearty thanks .

And that the said Committee in all their Transactions , touching the Peace and safety of this City , have also discreetly and faithfully discharged their trust , to their own trouble and great satisfaction of this Court .

And whereas this Court and City hath been lately represented by some , as having deserted their first Cause and Declarations for their taking Armes or joyning with the Parliament in defence of the City or the Commonwealth : This Court doth declare that they still doe , and with Gods assistance alwayes will adhere to their former Principles & Declarations in the use of all Lawfull meanes for the maintenance of the true reformed Protestant Religion according to the Scriptures ; The support and maintenance of a settled lawfull Magistracy , a learned pious Ministery and publick Universities , with the antient fundamental Laws of the Nation , Iust Rights , Properties and Liberties of all persons : And for these ends will endeavour , all they lawfully may the speedy convening of a Free Parliament to fit and Act without Interruption or Molestation , by any persons whatsoever .

Sadler .
