III. That no toleration , either of Popery , Prelacy , Schisme , Heresie , Superstition , Prophanenesse , or any thing contrary to sound Doctrine , or the power of godlinesse , may at all be yeelded unto , as being against the Word of God , and contrary to the very Letter of our Covenant .

And these our most humble and earnest desires , which we are obliged and incouraged also to make , by reason of our said Covenant , we intreat the right worshipfull the Alderman and Common Councel-men of this Ward , to represent to the right honourable the Lord Mayor , and the honourable Court of Common Councell at their first Sitting , that they would make their further addresse to the honourable Houses of Parliament , for the obtaining of these our just and necessary desires .

The true copie of a Petition presented by the Inhabitants of the Ward of Farrington within , at their Court Ward Moot , holden the 22. of December , before the Right Worshipfull the Alderman of the Ward , and Common-Councell then chosen for the yeare ensuing , and there willingly approved of by the generall consent of the Inhabitants of the same Ward then present : the same Petition was likewise presented by the Inhabitants of Farrington without the same day , at their Court Ward Moot holden before the Right Worshipfull the Alderman of their Ward and the Common-Councell then chosen , and was likewise approved and assented unto , and the like Petitions were presented in other Wards in London , and assented unto .
