Where Men are immoral , and scandalous in their Lives , and dispense familiarly with the Rules by which the World is Govern'd , for the better preserving the bonds of human Society ; it must be a confidence very ill placed , to conclude it impossible for such Men to yield to a Temptation well offer'd and pursu'd ; when , the truth is , the habit of such Bons vivants , which is the fashionable word , maketh a suspicion so likely , that it is very hard not to believe it to be true .

summary:
  , it is said men of every Ward did Choose : whence I Collect that by the expression of the Commonalty summoned hereto , is understood the Twelve Men from the Wards ; so that it appeareth clearly in my humble Opinion , That it was the Practice of the City for near two hundred Years , to Choose by their Representatives , before it came to be the Usage of the City , to Choose by the Livery-men of the Companies . A●d indeed it is well that you are both Judges and Parties ; they said , and doubtless they are ingenious , that they desire you to proceed according as you should be satisfied in conscience , the which for my part I doubt not but that you will ; there was much said how much it did behove you in point of danger ; but what that danger is I understand not ; but he tels you he urged it out of zeal ; also he tels you much of some secret Absolom ; but for my part I understand not what , nor who he means hereby ; I will take no advantage of any mans affection nor inclinations at all ; but the man which that Gentlemen spake to the business in hand , was that he cited many precedents and records for the practice of what he now desireth my be effected ; But truly I do extreamly much misunderstand those presidents and Records that he produceth , If that they are not as full against them , as any thing can be said .
