TO THE HONORABLE THE KNIGHTS , CITIZENS AND Burgesses of the Commons House in PARLIAMENT Assembled . The humble Petition of the Lord Major , Aldermen , and Commons of the Citie of LONDON in Common Councell Assembled . SHEWETH ;

THat your Petitioners having heard that such Propositions and offers have been lately sent from the House of Peeres to this Honorable House , which ( as wee greatly feare ) if yeelded unto , would be destructive to our Religion , Lawes , and Liberties : And finding already by experience , that the spirits of all the well-affected party in the Citie & Counties adjacent , that are willing to assist the Parliament , both in person and purse , are much dejected thereat , and the Brotherly assistance from Scotland as well as the raising and maintaining of Forces our selves , thereby likely to be retarded ( All which the Petitioners referre to your serious Consideration ) And considering our present sad condition lies upon us in a speciall manner , through the incensed patience of the Almighty , by delay and want of execution of Iustice upon Traitors and Delinquents . And having an opportunitie yet afforded us to speake , our humble desires are :

That you would be pleased so to persist in your former resolutions , whereupon the people have so much depended , and wherein you have so deeply ingaged your selves ( though you should perish in the worke ) that sustice may be done upon offenders and Delinquents . And that since we are as willing as ever to expose what we are and have for the crowning of so good a cause , you would be pleased by speedy passing the Ordinance hereunto annext , or one to this effect , to put us into a probable way for our and your defence , wherein your Petitioners will by the blessing of God be never wanting ; But will ever pray , &c.

THis Petition being presented the 7. day of August 1643. by the Petitioners abovesaid , to the House of Commons , was well accepted , and thanks returned by Mr. Speaker for their care of the Kingdomes wellfare , with promise that the particulars desired should be speedily taken into consideration : and to consider of an Ordinance to the purpose in the Petition mentioned , which was referr'd to a Committee .

August 9. 1643.
