The
Kings
Majesty
hauing
often
times
declared
his
Royall
intention
and
Resolution
towards
this
Citty
of
London
,
hath
occationed
a
great
jelousie
in
the
hearts
of
divers
and
allthoughe
he
hath
often
times
dclared
that
tumults
were
punished
and
suppreessed
he
would
take
his
jorney
towards
this
Citty
and
althoughe
some
peaple
weake
of
opinion
that
his
Majesty
any
intention
to
take
his
jorney
towards
this
Citty
yet
by
thes
perticulers
following
,
it
will
most
evidently
and
plainely
appeere
that
his
Majestyes
Royall
heart
hath
allwayes
beene
conioyning
to
this
Citty
and
it
doth
most
manifestly
testify
that
his
Majesty
hath
ever
and
doeth
still
owe
and
beare
more
afection
and
loue
to
his
subjects
in
this
City
then
he
did
to
any
other
City
in
this
Kingdom
although
his
Royall
and
sacred
Majesty
hath
beene
misled
and
insenceb
against
his
loueing
subjects
that
are
resident
in
this
Honorable
City
of
London
by
that
party
which
seekes
dayly
to
bring
the
inhabitants
here
into
vtter
ruine
and
destruction
for
as
it
is
the
Ch●efest
and
Metropolitan
City
of
the
Kingdome
,
so
they
seeke
and
labour
day
ly
to
bring
it
to
the
least
and
meanest
estat
of
any
City
in
this
Iland
or
vnder
the
heavens
,
and
to
discover
and
bring
to
light
some
more
of
their
mischeeuos
and
devillish
intentions
which
I
beleue
it
is
not
vnknowne
vnto
divers
that
doe
vnderstand
proceedings
of
cavaleers
,
and
other
of
the
maliguant
party
of
this
Kingdome
their
greatest
malice
and
envy
that
is
so
drownded
in
their
hearts
that
it
is
almost
impossible
thing
to
have
us
removed
,
un-God
puts
his
helping
hand
thereto
,
because
the
Foundation
of
Reformation
is
now
beginning
to
take
place
in
this
Metropolitane
City
,
and
our
Honourable
Assembly
the
Worthies
of
Israel
doth
now
labour
and
endeavour
to
bring
the
same
to
perfection
,
God
of
his
great
mercy
send
his
helping
hand
thereto
:
But
because
I
will
now
proceed
to
the
Resolution
and
intention
of
his
Sacred
Majesty
the
King
of
Great
Britaine
,
concerning
this
Honorable
and
renowned
City
of
London
,
(
viz
)
His
Majesty
,
as
hath
been
often
said
,
hath
had
a
longing
desire
to
come
neere
to
the
City
of
London
,
and
useth
the
meanes
,
as
it
doth
accordingly
appeare
,
for
upon
the
16.
day
of
this
month
there
was
a
great
disturbance
amongst
the
Cavaleers
at
Darby
,
by
reason
that
His
Majesty
went
from
thence
privately
to
Nottingham
,
they
supposing
he
had
tooke
his
journey
towards
London
,
and
indeed
it
is
thought
,
that
although
His
Person
be
amongst
them
yet
his
heart
is
better
affected
towards
us
,
for
did
not
the
Cavaleers
pursue
and
follow
Him
so
close
at
His
removall
from
one
place
to
another
,
it
is
thought
that
he
would
soone
be
here
,
but
such
is
the
jealousie
of
these
Malignant
persons
,
that
they
will
not
suffer
His
Person
to
be
out
of
their
sight
not
a
minute
in
a
manner
,
but
presently
post
after
him
to
any
place
where
he
goeth
;
and
although
His
●acred
Majesty
hath
often
declared
to
the
Cavaleers
,
that
he
will
venture
his
life
in
their
defence
,
yet
they
are
very
jealous
of
his
words
,
and
doth
daily
feare
,
that
hee
will
come
to
composition
with
His
Parliament
,
by
reason
that
be
doth
shew
some
countenance
to
the
Parliaments
Petitions
,
and
were
it
not
for
them
,
doubtlesse
but
we
should
have
him
here
very
suddenly
.
The
Honourable
Earle
of
Essex
hath
declared
his
Resolution
to
his
Majesty
,
that
he
is
resolved
to
put
nothing
in
act
,
but
what
should
tend
to
his
Majesties
honour
safety
and
securty
,
and
the
good
both
of
Church
and
Religion
,
and
that
to
the
utmost
of
His
power
He
will
have
a
wa●chfull
eye
,
that
no
outrages
and
abuses
bee
committed
by
any
of
his
Souldiers
,
and
that
His
comming
now
with
his
Forces
is
not
against
His
Majesty
but
against
the
Malignant
partie
,
the
wicked
incendiaries
of
this
Kingdome
that
are
now
about
His
Royall
person
,
whose
mindes
doth
daily
thirst
after
the
bloud
of
our
English
and
Scots
Protestants
,
this
is
the
Noble
Resolution
of
his
Excellence
the
Earle
of
Essex
.
