<OPENER><SALUTE>_MY Lord Maior, and Gentlemen, you of the City of <HI>London,</HI></SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>I am commanded to come hither upon an Errand, that I know in the generall is never plea&s;|ing, which is to expre&s;&s;e wants and nece&s;&s;ities; but I know ve|ry well to whom I &s;peak, it is to the Worthy, the Generous, and the Royall CITIZENS of <HI>London,</HI> who have exceeded all Story in their care, for the life and pre&s;ervation both of the Parliament and the whole Kingdom: Therefore it would imply a di&s;tru&s;t of your pre&s;ent care, to make a Supply, if I &s;hould u&s;e any Arguments to you; I &s;hall onely &s;ay this, that if there be not an enlargement of your &s;elves in &s;ome mea&s;ure at the pre&s;ent, I &s;hall be ve|ry unwilling to expre&s;&s;e the condition that I fear our Army will be reduc'd to: This is all that I &s;hall &s;ay, that if there be a pre&s;ent Supply, I do not doubt but the Army will move with that effect, as it will prevent all tho&s;e bar|barous and &s;alvage plunderings of the Forces that are
<PB N="4" REF="3">now under the Command of tho&s;e Officers of the King. I confe&s;&s;e the burthen hath lain very heavie onely upon the City of <HI>London,</HI> and you &s;hall have the grace, and the honour of the pre&s;ervation, both of Religion, and the Laws and Liberties of this Kingdom. This Gentleman that is by me, will let you know that it is already in Pro|po&s;ition, (and I do not doubt but it will &s;peedily have the concurrence of the Lords with it) to take that care, that the future burthen &s;hall not lye upon tho&s;e here in the City of <HI>London,</HI> that have been carefull to make Supplies, even to the exhau&s;ting of them&s;elves; but that it &s;hall go generally to all tho&s;e that have &s;hrowded them&s;elves under a kinde of Neutrality here in <HI>London;</HI> and that it &s;hall go generally throughout all the Countries of <HI>Eng|land,</HI> that &s;o the common Calamities &s;hall be prevented, and &s;upported by the common burthen laid upon the whole Kingdom.</P>

<OPENER><SALUTE>GEntlemen,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>we come not to tell your Lord&s;hip and the&s;e worthy Citizens onely our wants and dangers; but we come to &s;peake the thanks of the Par|liament to you, for that that you have alre<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">dy done, that you have &s;hewed &s;o much affection to the publique, and that it hath produced &s;o good effects throughout the whole Kingdom, as that now you have an Army rai&s;ed mo&s;t out of this City, able to defend (with Gods ble&s;&s;ing) the Religion and Liberty of the Kingdom, if it may be upheld: and we come not onely to give you thanks for that that you have done, but to &s;tirre you up to joyne with us in giving thanks to God, that hath given &s;uch a ble&s;&s;ing to our endeavours, that when by Letters into all parts almo&s;t they did pre&s;ume before hand to triumph in the ruine, and in the plundering of this Citie, God prevented it, and hath kept you &s;afe, kept your Hou&s;es, your Walls, your Suburbs &s;afe from that that was intended again&s;t you; and truely as we have &s;ought for this ble&s;&s;ing by fa&s;ting and by pray|er,
<PB N="6" REF="4">&s;o it is fit that we &s;hould te&s;tifie our thanksgiving for it, and this is a nece&s;&s;ary part of our errand which we are &s;ent about: and that we may be &s;erviceable to Gods providence &s;till, as he hath &s;tirred up your hearts to do &s;o much already, &s;o that he would &s;tirre you up &s;till to continue that that is fit to be done for the future, and that you will do it in &s;uch a way as may be mo&s;t plea&s;ing to your &s;elves: we come not hither, that by any con&s;ent here in publique, you &s;hould bind your &s;elves in particular; but we come to let you know the dangers of the Kingdom, the &s;en&s;e the Par|liament hath of it, and of the Citie e&s;pecially, that you may not lo&s;e that that hath bin already done; but that you may go on &s;till cheerfully to do the full worke; And we come to tell you that the Parliament doth in|tend the burden &s;hall not lye upon you that are well-af|fected and come in voluntarily; but that they have thought upon a way, and have begun it already, and I hope within two or three dayes at the mo&s;t it &s;hall be publi&s;hed to you; that all that are indi&s;po&s;ed &s;hall be forced to do that, which out of readine&s;&s;e and cheer|fulne&s;&s;e to the publique good they will not doe of them&s;elves; neither limit it we to the Citie and Sub|urbs; but we are in a cour&s;e to draw in all the Coun|tries of the Kingdom, that as the burden is univer&s;all, &s;o the aid may be univer&s;all; for this is the thoughts of the Parliament. And if it plea&s;e God to ble&s;&s;e your Forces that are already rai&s;ed, and continued, wee hope you &s;hall not onely &s;ee peace againe in the King|dome, and &s;ecurity for your Religion; but &s;ee tho&s;e that have been the engines and actors of the mi&s;chiefs
<PB N="7" REF="4">and troubles that are come upon us, the burden &s;hall lye upon them, that they &s;hall recompence the charges you have been at already: This is the intention of the Parliament, onely for the pre&s;ent do &s;omewhat eve|ry man, as GOD &s;hall enable him, do &s;omewhat that may meet the pre&s;ent nece&s;&s;ities, and prevent the dangers that require a pre&s;ent &s;ub&s;i&s;tance, and pre&s;ent &s;upply of the Army, without which, what is it will follow but the danger of the Citie; the ruine of the Countries about, the &s;topping up of the River which is almo&s;t taken from you, and the Sea-coa&s;ts will be lo&s;t; you cannot have better hearts then you have, God hath enabled many of you with pur&s;es, I hope it will be &s;o readily di&s;po&s;ed that we &s;hall have a full joy in the recompence of it, and the retribution; which we &s;hall all pray God to bring to pa&s;&s;e, and I hope you will bring to pa&s;&s;e.</P>
