TO
THE
HONOURABLE
CITIE
OF
LONDON
.
The
Humble
Petition
of
Philip
Skippon
,
Efq
SHEWETH
.
THat
your
Petitioner
was
a
very
eminent
Instrument
in
carrying
on
the
Work
of
Reformation
;
and
that
he
did
promote
the
Good
Cause
with
the
same
zeal
and
endeavours
as
he
did
advance
himself
;
whereto
he
is
in
gratitude
obliged
to
say
,
you
were
(
if
not
more
forward
)
yet
equally
prompt
with
your
Petitioner
.
But
now
so
it
is
(
may
it
please
your
Honours
)
that
he
finds
all
that
former
affection
towards
him
so
cold
since
his
Patron
Oliver
forsook
this
light
,
that
he
fears
you
will
bring
his
gray
haires
down
with
sorrow
to
his
grave
.
He
would
attribute
this
change
of
your
favourable
and
benigne
Aspect
to
the
various
mutations
of
the
Times
,
but
that
they
look
so
inauspiciously
and
dangerously
on
him
,
he
dares
not
think
on
them
for
his
life
,
although
the
pleasure
and
delight
of
that
is
already
fled
with
his
money
beyond
Sea
,
from
whence
he
is
alarum'd
the
Dutch
will
not
part
with
one
stiver
since
they
heard
of
his
disgrace
.
In
this
streight
and
exigence
he
hath
betook
himself
to
his
Book
of
Corollaries
,
the
Christian
Souldiers
Exercise
,
but
to
very
little
consolation
,
for
there
's
not
a
word
of
returning
his
Coine
again
,
but
a
long
frivolous
Discourse
of
Patience
,
which
he
never
intended
for
himself
.
And
oh
that
one
ray
of
Comfort
more
would
shine
forth
from
the
Bodkins
and
Thimbles
and
the
bright
Plate-candlesticks
in
Guild-hall
,
how
would
he
improve
such
an
advantage
to
his
external
happiness
!
But
alas
those
Silver
daies
are
done
,
and
this
iron
Age
hath
overtaken
your
poor
Petitioner
.
Nevertheless
,
in
regard
of
his
Service
at
Leistithiel
,
where
he
alone
despaired
not
of
your
Cause
(
for
Essex
had
left
him
in
the
lurch
,
and
't
was
his
best
course
to
shew
confidence
)
be
pleased
to
consider
him
in
this
his
distress
,
and
befriend
him
in
these
following
Requests
.
That
You
would
be
pleased
by
interposing
Your
powerfull
assistance
with
the
Governours
of
Suttons
Hospital
,
to
get
him
admitted
a
Pentioner
there
;
or
rather
that
You
would
please
to
obtain
for
him
from
the
Parliament
the
next
vacancy
of
a
poore
Knight
at
Windsor
;
otherwise
your
Petitioner
,
for
all
General
Moncks
detestation
of
Oaths
and
Abjuration
,
will
set
up
for
himself
a
Knight
of
the
Post
,
that
's
a
Military
as
well
as
Civil
terme
,
and
will
serve
to
compensate
his
lost
Command
of
Major
General
.
And
your
Petitioner
shall
pray
,
&c.
