4736
Persons
in
and
about
the
City
of
London
.
WHereas
by
the
Votes
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
that
no
Addresses
be
made
to
the
King
,
his
Majesty
is
totally
outed
of
his
Government
,
and
by
his
imprisonment
the
reverence
and
high
esteeme
due
to
his
Royall
Person
is
much
lessened
,
if
not
(
with
some
)
totally
withdrawne
,
his
Person
with
more
opportunity
and
secrecie
exposed
to
private
Murder
and
Poyson
(
as
appeares
by
late
experience
)
and
his
Majesties
Attendants
being
only
such
as
the
Faction
of
Independents
(
opposite
to
Kingly
Government
)
have
against
his
Majesties
liking
,
placed
about
his
Person
,
there
cannot
want
Executioners
for
any
secret
and
bloody
designe
.
And
for
that
the
many
Petitions
to
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
for
his
Majesties
freedome
and
returne
to
Parliament
,
have
received
onely
dilatory
and
fruitlesse
answers
:
Wee
cannot
esteeme
the
Houses
of
Parliament
so
carefull
of
the
honour
and
safety
of
his
Majesties
Person
,
as
they
have
often
pretended
.
Wee
therefore
doe
heereby
publish
to
the
World
that
wee
have
solemnly
promised
and
vowed
to
God
,
that
if
our
Soveraigne
Lord
the
King
shall
by
Murder
,
Poyson
,
or
otherwise
depart
this
life
(
which
God
forbid
)
before
his
inlargement
and
freedome
from
Prison
,
wee
shall
esteeme
it
(
as
all
good
Subjects
will
)
the
effect
of
his
restraint
and
hard
usage
,
and
them
(
detaining
his
inlargment
)
as
the
abetters
thereof
,
and
shall
accordingly
(
though
with
the
hazard
and
losse
of
our
owne
lives
)
stricktly
and
severely
require
his
bloud
at
the
hands
of
all
such
who
denyed
or
delayed
(
upon
what
pretences
soever
)
his
and
their
voyce
or
assistance
for
his
Majesties
inlargement
,
and
doubt
not
but
we
shall
heerein
finde
ayde
and
assistance
from
very
many
thousands
of
Loyall
Subjects
.
God
blesse
King
CHARLES
.
