<HEAD>Sea&s;onable ADVICE and nece&s;&s;ary CA&V;TIONS to the Citizens and Livery-Men of <HI>London,</HI> touch|ing the Election of a <HI>Lord-Mayor</HI> for the Year en|&s;uing.</HEAD>
<P N="1">1. IT is not thought convenient that any Per&s;on who was for Surrendring the City-Charter, and would blindly follow the Dictates of a Popi&s;h Prince, ought to be cho&s;en Chief Magi|&s;trate of this famous City.</P>
<P N="2">2. Whether an ea&s;y and un&s;teady Per&s;on, that has been &s;everal times impo&s;ed on already, to act contrary to the known Rights of the Citizens, in two &s;everal Ward-motes in the Ward of <HI>Bi&s;hops-gate,</HI> at ten Years di&s;tance from each other, (<HI>viz.</HI> before the City-Rights were invaded, and the fir&s;t Year after their Rights were re&s;tored) be a fit Per&s;on to be cho&s;en Lord-Mayor?</P>
<P N="3">3. Whether Sir <HI>Jonathan R&mdash;d,</HI> whom the Jacobites and Non-Swearers are &s;o zealous to promote to the Chair, in full A&s;&s;urance from their con&s;tant Familiarity with him, that they &s;hall manage him as they plea&s;e, to the prejudice of the Pre&s;ent Government, be a fit Per&s;on to be elected Lord-Mayor in &s;o critical a time as this is?</P>
<P N="4">4. Whether he that was a Steward to the Tory-Apprentices Fea&s;t, which was managed by the late Lord <HI>Jefferies</HI> and Sir <HI>Roger L' E&s;trange,</HI> in order to corrupt the Apprentices of this City, and to animate them again&s;t their Ma&s;ters, be a fit Per&s;on to be intru&s;ted with the Chief Magi&s;tracy?</P>
<P N="5">5. Whether it may not be rea&s;onably &s;uppo&s;ed that Sir <HI>Jonathan R&mdash;d</HI> was for Surrendring the Charter of <HI>London;</HI> becau&s;e af|ter Judgment was entred again&s;t it, eight worthy Aldermen, who would not comply therewith, were turn'd out, and &s;eventeen or eighteen kept in by Commi&s;&s;ion during plea&s;ure, of which number Sir <HI>Jonathan</HI> was one?</P>
<P N="6">6. Whether Sir <HI>Jonathan R&mdash;d,</HI> who came from the Se&s;&s;ions-Hou&s;e to the King's-head Tavern in <HI>Leaden-hall-&s;treet, Anno</HI> 1683, and with great Joy told &s;ome Gentlemen there, that the Jury had con|victed my Lord <HI>Ru&s;&s;el,</HI> and that they had done like hone&s;t Men, be a fit Per&s;on to be Lord-Mayor of this City?</P>
<P N="7">7. Whether Sir <HI>Jonathan R&mdash;d,</HI> who recommended a Jacobite Par|&s;on to preach at <HI>Tunbridg-Wells</HI> to the Nobility and Gentry, in the Year 1692, who omitted praying for King <HI>William</HI> and Queen <HI>Mary,</HI>
<PB N="2" REF="3">(for which he there received a &s;evere Reprimand from a Per&s;on in great Authority,) whether it may not rea&s;onably be &s;uppo&s;ed Sir <HI>Jonathan</HI> to be a Jacobite, who preferred &s;uch a Man to preach before &s;uch an Audi|tory? Likewi&s;e his Son, Sir <HI>Gemmitt R&mdash;d,</HI> pays double Taxes for not taking the Oaths to their Pre&s;ent Maje&s;ties, and keeps one <HI>Hart</HI> a Non-&s;wearing Par&s;on for his Chaplain, who quitted two Preferments ra|ther than he would comply to take the &s;aid Oaths.</P>
<P N="8">8. Sir <HI>Jonathan R&mdash;d</HI> lately going from the Jacobite Rendezvous at <HI>Bath,</HI> to <HI>Bri&s;tol</HI>-Fair, and being in company of Mr. <HI>John Bub,</HI> the late Sheriff and others, began K. <HI>James</HI>'s Health; and whether this may recom|mend him to be cho&s;en Lord-Mayor by all &s;uch as would be thought Friends to the Pre&s;ent Government?</P>
<P N="9">9. Sir <HI>Jonathan R&mdash;d</HI> keeping near an hundred Pounds of Di&s;&s;enters Money, due to the Crown, in his hands for above ten Years, till Captain <HI>Henry Baker,</HI> who with others was commi&s;&s;ion'd by the King to enquire into all Frauds of that kind, di&s;covering of it, obliged him to pay it; whe|ther it was kept for the u&s;e of the Orphans, or rather for maintaining Ja|cobite Par&s;ons, is left to the Con&s;ideration of all good Citizens.</P>
<P N="10">10. And now con&s;ider whether &s;o weak and ea&s;y a Man as Sir <HI>Jona|than R&mdash;d</HI> is by his very Friends e&s;teemed to be, [Witne&s;s Mrs. <HI>James</HI>'s Paper on the Election for la&s;t <HI>Michaelmas,</HI> who is a great Stickler for Sir <HI>Jonathan;</HI> and did not que&s;tion but God would give him Wi&s;dom when he came into the Chair, thereby implying that he had it not be|fore,] and who is &s;olely under the Conduct and Government of the late Deputy <HI>L&mdash;m,</HI> and the re&s;t of the Jacobite Party, be a fit Per&s;on to be cho&s;en Lord Mayor for the Year en&s;uing.</P>
<P>Now, Gentlemen, con&s;ider the Character of the above-mentioned Per&s;on in the&s;e few things (of many) offered to your &s;erious Con&s;idera|tion. And it is al&s;o evident that the pre&s;ent Cabals of the Jacobites are to u&s;e their utmo&s;t Endeavours to carry him for Lord-Mayor of this Ci|ty; that &s;o if any Accident or Difficulty &s;hould happen to the pre&s;ent Government, (which God prevent) he may be ready to a&s;&s;i&s;t them in re|&s;toring the late abdicated King <HI>James.</HI></P>
<P><HI>Gentlemen,</HI> We hope you will always e&s;teem and have a due Regard to tho&s;e Citizens who have approved them&s;elves faithful, and &s;hewed them&s;elves zealous for the maintaining of the Rights and Liberties of this famous City in the wor&s;t of Times, and are of known Loyalty and Affection to their pre&s;ent Maje&s;ties; among the Number of which none are thought more fit to be recommended to your pre&s;ent Choice than Sir <HI>William A&s;hhur&s;t</HI> and Sir <HI>John H<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 chunk">,</HI> Knights and Aldermen.</P>
