To the Right Honourable , the Lord Mayor , Aldermen , and Commons of the City of London in Common-councell assembled . The humble Petition of divers Citizens of London , who earnestly desire the peace and happinesse of the Parliament , City and Kingdome . SHEWETH ,

THAT your Petitioners being deepely sensible of the misery brought by the late unnaturall War , and of the generall distractions , feares , and iealosies of the City and Kingdome at present ; do with all thankefullnesse accknowledge the great care , wisdome , and fidelity of this honourable Court , in your late transactions between the City and the Army , your indeavours to prevent all face of Hostility , and surmises of opposition against them ; your prudent choise and seasonable sending so worthy a Committee to preserve Peace , and beget a right understanding , between the Parliament , City , and Army .

Your Petitioners doe most humbly pray , that this honourable Court will still effectually proceed in so good & necessary a work , and for the preventing of the scarcity of provisions , with many other inconveniencies by so neare approach of the Army , you would be pleased to redouble your indeavours with the high Court of Parliament ; for the granting of the Armys just , and lawfull defiers , so far as they may stand with the honour and safety of the Parliament and Kingdome ; and to use all possible meanes , to hinder any further differences which may arise , that we be not destroyed by the clashings of them by whom we hope to be delivered .

And your Petitioners doe further most humble pray , that as your wisdomes haue thought fit that this City be put into a posture of defence , for the prevention of unlawfull vilolence and intestine tumults ; so care may ( according to your owne resolutions ) be taken , that no extraordinary forces be listed or imployed , whereby any appearance , much lesse reallity of opposition may be against the Army , whereby this City and Kingdome should become ingaged in a second and more bloody War , which we pray God in mercy to divert , all which your Petitioners leave to the wise consideration of this honorable Court .

And shall ever pray , &c.

This Petition was delivered the 17 day of Iune , 1647. and the Petitioners had extraordinary thanks for the same , by the honourable Court .
