The most Deplorable Case of the Orphans of the City of London .

WE have these Ten Years last past attended all Sessions of Parliament , humbly Imploring your Compassions , ( for the Redressing the unexpressable Wrong we have sustained by the City of London , taking and keeping our Properties from us by force ) this Honourable Assembly being the True Representatives of our Protestant Nation : We come with humble Confidence , believing your Honours will not send us away Starving ; we find by long and doleful Experience , That the Court of Aldermen have secretly , and last year publickly opposed the Wise and Just Proceedings of this Honourable House towards our Relief , we cannot but humbly hope that this August Assemhly , will be pleased to exert your own Prerogative in Extercating us from the Intollerable Grievance we Groan under ; We poor Fatherless Ones , being the Only Subjects that no Law yet extant can Relieve , the City having both Power , and our Portions , to defend themselves and thereby Ruine us .

We humbly beg for Gods sake , who hears the Cries of the Fatherless , that your Honours will not please to let any more time elaps , but keep the day that is now appointed for our speedy Relief , that so no more of the Lives of Orphans may be lost , through Necessity and Want , which many have done since last Sessions ; We tremble to think so much of this Sessions is spent , and that your Merciful Inclinations towards us , have yet had no Effect .
