<HEAD>LONDONS LOYALTY TO THEIR <HI>King and Countrey,</HI> AND THE PROTESTANT RELIGION,</HEAD>
<P>THere being a Scandalous Pamphlet Publi&s;hed on <HI>Monday September</HI> the Eight la&s;t pa&s;t, Called the <HI>Engli&s;h Courant,</HI> wherein it was Expre&s;&s;ed, That <HI>On Thur&s;day la&s;t, the City of</HI> London <HI>Deputed Sir</HI> George Jefferies <HI>to go to</HI> Wind&s;or, <HI>to Complement the Duke of</HI> York <HI>upon his &s;afe Arrival:</HI> Which was no &s;ooner Publi&s;hed in the City, but the Citizens (to Manife&s;t their Abhorrency of &s;o Fal&s;e and Scandalous a thing) went a Con&s;iderable Number of them Immediately to the Lord Mayor, then with the Aldermen in the <HI>Guildhall;</HI> where they not onely Complained of the Notorious Injury and Affront done to the City by that Forgery, but further Declared, That though in truth, whil&s;t the Duke of <HI>York</HI> &s;eemed to come into <HI>England</HI> onely as a Vi&s;itor, they did not much Concern them|&s;elves with his Return; Yet now &s;ince it rather appears, he came with a Re&s;olution to &s;tay, they apprehended Them&s;elves and the Nation in great Danger thereby: and therefore de&s;ired his Lord&s;hip forthwith to call a Lieutenancy, and to Double the City Guards. To all which his Lord&s;hip an&s;wered to this
<PB REF="2" MS="y">Purpo&s;e, <HI>viz.</HI> That he had already &s;ent for the Printer, and that He and his Brethren were con&s;idering how to Puni&s;h him according to his Demerit; and that he had already Ordered the Lieutenancy to meet on <HI>Wedne&s;day</HI> next, in Order to the Doubling the City Guards. And his Lord&s;hip was then further plea&s;ed to free him&s;elf from an A&s;per&s;ion ca&s;t upon him, that he &s;hould declare to Sir <HI>George Jefferies, That if the King &s;hould Dye, he would Immediately Proclaim the Duke of</HI> York <HI>King:</HI> His Lord&s;hip prote&s;ting he never &s;aid any &s;uch thing, and de&s;ired the &s;aid Citizens to acquaint their Fellow-Citizens therewith.</P>
<P>This is a True Account of this Tran&s;action, and there|fore if any other Relation be made thereof, it is to be looked upon as Fal&s;e; and the Reader is de&s;ired to Ac|cept hereof, till the Ingenuous and Hearty Speech of that Worthy Knight and True <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Man, Sir <HI>Thomas Player,</HI> be Publi&s;hed at Large, which it is great Pity the World &s;hould want.</P>
