for these counties viz. yorkshire , lincolnshire , lancashire , are so greviouslie perplexed , with the feare of a civill warr , which still these cavileers with oaths and threats , do daily insist to the fears of all good christians ; they are now growne to so insolent and turbulent spirits , being countenanced with the smiles of many peers , of this kingdome , and they are growne to such a higth that they began to vse such lacivious actions that the inhabitants of these parts , are growne to a most miserable thinking daly and hourely when these men will cease upon their goods , and they began since his majestie went into l●ncolne , and beverly , to vse many outrages against the city . wherevpon the citizens of yorke foreseing the danger that would ensue , caused the gates to be shut up , they having a long time groaned under the dominering of the cavileers . the truth whereof was reported to the honourable house of commons , on saturday last the sixteenth of iuly , both houses taking into consideration the militia , of the kingdome propounded and ordered , that it is against the lawes , and liberties of the kingdoms , that any of the subiects thereof should be compelled by the king , to attend him at his pleasure but saith as is bound therto , and the lords and commons , in parliament doe declare . that it is both against the lawes of the land and the libertie of the subiect , for any messenger or officer , to cease upon any his maiesties subjects . and likewise declare that it ●s against the publique peace of the kingdome , and that the same be forthwith printed and published , and assigned vnder the clarks hand his royall majesty likewise declareth that neither the testimony of , so many of our lords now with vs can credit , with divers men that they proceed to levie men , and money , and raise horse . therefore wee are not to be misliked if after so many gratious expositious vpon considerable purposes and reasons , which they answer by ordering that wee answer to be reason and so appear to leavie warr against us . and therefore wee make such provision , that as we have beene forst from london , and kept from hvl wee may not be surprized at yorke , but in a condition to bring iustice on these men , who would perswade our people that their religion is in danger , because wee will not consent , it shall be in their power , and that their votes and liberties are in danger , because wee will allow no iudge of that liberty , but the knowne power of the land . yet whatsoeuer prouison , wee shall be compelled to make for our securitie , wee shall be ready , to lay down ▪ so soone as they shall have revoked their orders which they have made , and submit those persons , who have detained our townes carried away our armes , and put the militia in execution contrary to our proclamation , to that triall of innocencie , and to which they were borne . and if this be not submitted wee shall with as good a conscience , and wee beleeve wee shall not want , the good affections of our subiects to that end , proceed against those who shall prepare to exercise that pretended ordnance of the militia , and sr. iohn hotham who keeps our towne of hul from us , as wee would resist persons that come in a farre greater way ;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng markets -law and legislation -england -london. london (england) -history -17th century. 2007-12 tcp assigned for keying and markup 2008-01 spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images 2008-03 mona logarbo sampled and proofread 2008-03 mona logarbo text and markup reviewed and edited 2008-09 pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion houblon blazon or coat of arms mayor . wednesday , the 5th day of august , 1696. at a committee of common council , held for the publick markets of the city of london . whereas this committee hath received information , that the farmers of the publick markets have exacted and extorted greater sums of mony from the market-people , than by the laws of the city , or the covenants of their lease , are allow'd : and have committed many other irregularities , to their great oppression , and the scandal of the government of this city . now to the intent that the rates allowed , as aforesaid , to be taken in the markets , may be ascertained and made publick to all market-people , and the said farmers of the markets may be prevented for the future from demanding , exacting or receiving more than is allowed ;

surely my lord , as the president it self is of most dangerous consequence to the inhabitants of this place , so will it sound very harsh in the ears of other people in the nation , who may reckon themselves exposed to the like usage , if this and such like actions pass without due observation ; and therefore for their sakes ( as our own ) we cannot be altogether silent ; besides that even now when most men are seeking for settlement , such undertakings , how greatly they tend to dissettle mens minds , and fill the land with disturbances and distractions , we leave to your lordship to judge . my lord , we sue to your lordship for nothing , but that right may be done us ; if we have done any thing contrary to the laws of the nation , or the city , we refuse not , but seek a legal tryal ; but if otherwise ( as indeed we are not conscious to our selves , that we have ( in the least ) offended against this city or our rulers ) we do claim our right , and humbly conceive your lordship engaged to endeavour that we may be set at liberty from our confinement ; but if your lordship shall think it fit and requisite , that application be in this case made to the parliament or council of state , we then humbly pray , that we , being members of this city , your lordship will please to move for present redress in this our grievance , and future protection and security ( with others our neighbours ) in out habitations . my lord , the day following they seached our houses for arms , there being reports of great numbers found there , which were no more in all our houses but as followeth , viz. lieuetenant colonel kiffen , 2 drums , 1 pattisan , 5 old pikes , and 6 swords . major mallery , 3 pistols , 2 swords , and his sons fouling piece . captain gosfright , 3 drums , 1 leading staff , 1 sword , and 3 birding pieces belonging to a dutch merchant , and another friend . captain hewling , 7 pikes , 12 muskets , and 17 swords , whose arms being gathered in by the states order , to be returned into the tower . the said captain hewling gave notice before to the clerk of the delivery , to cause them to be fetcht in accordingly , who hitherto had omitted it . lieutenant lomes , 3 muskets , 3 pikes , and 1 sword . and whilst we were writing this letter to your lordship , there was brought to our view a printed libellous paper , this day published , stiled a serious manifesto and declaration of the anabaptists , and other congregational churches , touching the present transactions of the affairs of this commonwealth , both in church and state . touching which , although we doubt not but all sober minded people will perceive it to be ( as it is ) forged , false and scandalous , and done by prophane and luxuriant incendiaries , who makes lies their refuge , and under falsehood hide themselves , designing to foment distractions and confusions in this city and nation , yet we think fit , without further , troubling our selves therewith , to certifie your lordship our disowning and detesting thereof , with our confidence and assurance of the like disowning by all those upon whom its unworthily patronised , humbly desiring , that such printers and publishers being searcht out , may be made exemplary , or at least , that such abusive and scandalous papers , may be speedily and effectually suppressed according to law , there being neither names of author , printer , or stationer annexed thereunto . we are , my lord , dated in london the 28 february 1659. your lordships humble servants , to the right honorable , thomas alleyn , lord mayor of the city of london . william kiffen . george gosfright . benjamin hewling . thomas lomes . london , printed by henry hills dwelling in aldersgate-street , next door to the signe of the peacock ▪ 16●●… a further assertion of the propositions concerning the magnitude, &c. of london contained in two essays in political arithmetick mentioned in philos. transact. numb. 183 : together with a vindication of the said essays from the objections of some learned persons of the french nation / by sr. w. petty, knt. ... petty, william, sir, 1623-1687. 1682 approx. 7 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 3 1-bit group-iv tiff page images. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ; oxford (uk) : 2003-11 (eebo-tcp phase 1). a54615 wing p1925a estc r20831 12358399 ocm 12358399 60172 this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons 0 1.0 universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

for that in the 6th . century of christianity ( i suppose an. 550. ) it had 15000 , or rather 44 thousand moschees or mahometan temples . to which i reply , that i hope this objector is but in jest , for that mahomet was not borne till about the year 570 , and had no moschees till about 50 years after . 3. the next is the excellent monsieur auzout from rome , who is content , that london , westminster , and southwark — with the contiguous housing may have as many people as paris and its suburbs ; and but faintly denyeth , that all the housing within the bills , may have almost as many people as paris and roven , but saith that several parishes inserted into these bills , are distant from , and not contiguous with london , and that grant so understood it . 4. to which ( as his main , if not only objection ) we answer . 1st . that the london bills appear in grants book to have been , since the year 1636 , as they now are . 2. that about 50 years since , 3 or 4 parishes formerly distant , were joyn'd , by interposed buildings , to the bulk of the city , and therefore then inserted into the bills . 3. that since 50 years the whole buildings being more than double , have perfected that union , so as there is no house within the said bills , from which one may not call to some other house . 4. all this is confirm'd by authority of the king and city , and so long custom . 5. that there are but three parishes under any colour of this exception , which are scarce a two and fiftieth part of the whole . 5. upon sight of monsieur auzouts large letter , i made remarques upon every paragraph thereof , but suppressing it ( because it lookt like a war against one with whome i intended none , whereas in truth it was but a reconciling explication of some doubts , and therefore ) i have chosen the shorter and sweeter way of answering monsieur auzout , as followeth , viz. concerning the number of people in london , as also in paris , roven , and rome , viz. monsieur auzout alleageth an authentick register , that there are 23223 houses in paris , wherein do live above 80 thousand families , and therefore supposing 3½ families to live in every of the said houses one with another ; the number of families will be 81230 ; and monsieur auzout also allowing 6 heads to each family , the utmost number of people in paris , according to mr. auzout's opinion , will be .   487680. the medium of the paris burials was allowed by monsieur auzout to be 19887 , and that there dyed 3506 unnecessarily out of l'hotel dieu , wherefore deducting the said last number , the neat standard for burials at paris , will be 16381 , so as the number of people there , allowing but one to dye out of 30 ( which is more advantagious to paris than monsieur auzouts opinion of one to dye out of 25 ) the number of people at paris will be 491430 ; more than by monsieur auzouts last mentioned accompt .   491430. the medium of the said two paris accompts is —   488055. the medium of the london burialls is 23212 , which multiplyed by 30 ( as hath been done for paris ) the number of the people there will bee .   696360 the number of houses at london appears by the register to bee 105315. whereunto adding a 10th . part or 10531 , as the least number of double families that can bee supposed in london , the total of families will be 115840 : and allowing 6 heads for each family , as was done for paris , the total of the people at london will be .   695076. the medium of the 2 last london accounts is —   695718. the people of paris according to the above-said account is 488055.   of roven according to monsieur auzouts utmost demand , 80000. 693055. of rome according to his own report thereof . 125000.   so as there are more people at london , than at paris , roven , and rome by   2663. memorandum , that the parishes of islington , newington , and hackney , for which only there is any colour of non-contiguity , is not a two and fiftieth part of what is contained in the bills of mortality ; and consequently london without them , hath more people than paris and roven put together , by   114284. several other estimates , viz. i. that london alone is equal to paris , roven , and rome , as aforesaid . ii. that london , bristol , and dublin are equal to paris , amsterdam , and venice . iii. that london alone is to amsterdam , venice , and roven , as 7 to 4. iv. that london and bristol are equal to any four cities of france . v. that dublin is probably equal to the second best city , of any kingdom or state in christendome . vi. that london , for ought appears , is the greatest city of the world , but manifestly the greatest emporium . finis a word of remembrance, reproof & counsel, to england and london put forth by one that loves and longs for their prosperity. m. c. 1663 approx. 7 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 1 1-bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

for the performance of which , thy ministry did sound an alarm , for men and money , which was answered in a large measure , in an army which god furnished , with a spirit of prayer and courage , in subduing thy enemies , which thou didst then judge , was an answer of thy dayes of fasting and prayer , in which thou didst greatly rejoyce , and set many dayes of thanksgiving a part , to praise the lord for his goodness , which thou didst account at that time infinite mercy . these thy enemies being subdued , that did tirannize over thee , both in spirituals and temporals ; and god did put a prize into thy hands , that thou mightest have been happy , hadst thou improved it , but thou didst grow proud and kicked against the lord , and fell from thy promises and engagements , and the mercies now are swallowed up in selfe-intrest ; none must now serve and worship god , but as one sort of people would have it ; and when that could not be obtained , then hatred and malice did increase , and those that stood in the gap in a day of trouble , must now be made the objects of scorn and reproach in the streets : and this was occasioned by some that carried a great stroak in religion , because they had not their lust satisfied , to have all brought into one uniformity in religion ; bitter and sharp disputations were daily ; by which means brethren were divided , and looked one upon another , as enemies and strangers , rather chusing to close with the common enemy , that endeavoured to destroy them both , then to own one another ; which to accomplish , there was secret designes carried on with much industry , for a closure with that party , that god had born a testimony against , in the face of the son , to the terror of the nations , in making of them like the chaff of the summer threshing-floor . this designe at last taking effect , the common enemy having now obtained that which they long looked for , thorow the help of those restless spirits , who must now be the subjects of ruin and dissolation ; but those who had ingaged their lives , liberties and estates , and spilt much pretious blood , to save the city of london from dissolation , by fire and bloodshed , their houses from plundring , and their wifes from ravishment , and their children from being murdered ; these i say , must now be delivered up to be destroyed by a revengful enemy ; in which thou didst sport thy self in their being executed , and their dead bodies set upon the gates of thy city , for the fowls of the air to eat , further assisting the enemy to persecute , in filling the prisons and dungeons with such as fear the lord , that prayed for thee , and sought thy welfare ; thy ungratefulness is written in capital letters , that they that run may read it ; nothing will satisfie thee but a great trade , which to accomplish , thou must have a k. though thou didst destroy thy friends : but hadst thou ever such a loss of trade , as now thou hast , by which poverty is coming upon thee as an armed man ? thou didst complain of taxes and oppression , hadst thou ever the like as now thou hast , and art like to have ? thou didst complain of prophaness , and the abuse of god's ordinances ; but was there ever such prophaness , and contempt of god's word and ordinances as is now ? what designes there is to destroy all virtue , and to encourage all vice , i shall leave to the rational to consider . oh people of england and london ! i appeal to your consciences , whether these things be not true , and many more of the like nature ; oh! remember how many of you that pretended much religion , how deep you were in encouraging of prophaness , in making bone-fires , drinking healths , roasting of rumps , to the abuse of the creatures , swearing and blaspheming of the holy name of god , all manner of debauchery committed , which must needs enter into the eares of the lord of host , and do undoubtedly cry unto him for vengeance upon this nation and city . oh! england and london , look into thy aforesaid actions , and repent of thy wickedness , humble thy self before it be too late ; consider how strangers now throng thy streets , the gunsmiths and sword-cutlers can inform you , if they will , how the french and irish papists , do this day buy up armes , and how they walk in companies armed , and how they buy up horses in smithfield , is notoriously taken notice of : surely these things speak no less than ruin to thy inhabitants , if god in much mercy prevent not ; how are the papists meetings this day suffered , and idolatry pleaded for , and the lord's people who desire to worship him in spirit and in truth , are abused in such a manner , as the like hath never been since those people have born the name of protestants , nor hardly ever before , as it hath of late been . oh people of england and london ! be ashamed and horribly amazed , for this thy abusing thy friends , and strengthening the hands of thy enemies ; was ever people so industrious to destroy themselves , as you have been ? oh! let my counsel be acceptable unto thee , and repent , which my soul desires ; who am one of thy poor children , that have , and do pray for thee , and shall conclude with the words of my master once to jerusalem ;

which said committee did often meet , and made strict enquiry into the abuses committed by the said farmers , and did on the 29th of july following , make a report to the common council , which followeth in these words , viz. to the right honourable the lord mayor , aldermen , and commons in common council assembled . in obedience to an order of this honourable court , bearing date the 29th of may last , we whose names are hereunto subscribed , being of the committee appointed to consider of the several abuses committed by the farmers of the markets , and of the methods for the redress thereof , have several times met and consider'd of the same ; and have examined the present rates received by the farmers of the several markets , ( viz. ) newgate , honey-lane , stocks and leaden-hall markets ; and do find , as they stand now lett by the said farmers , to amount to 6379 l. 19 s. 10 d. and for provisions , fruits , and other wares brought to and sold in the said markets , and in the streets 4516 l. 10 s. in all 10896 l. 9 s. 10 d. which said sum of 10896 l. 9 s. 10 d. we are o● opinion , they do yearly receive : besides which , we also find , that the said farmers have recived of the present tenants 2194 l. 01 s. 6 d. by way of fines for admittances . we have also considered and examined the lease granted to the farmers , and likewise the act of common council made in the mayoralty of sir william hooker , and do find , that they have exacted greater rents than in the said act is mentioned . we have also several times heard the complaints of the market people , inhabitants and others , and do find , that the said farmers have taken from them greater rates than they ought to have done , extorting the same by all the ill usages imaginable , as by putting them to vexatious suits , arresting , imprisoning , and ruining many of them , and thereby have forced them from the said markets , which have very much inhanced the rates of provisions , and made them the more scarce . and also find , that the said farmers have turned , and allowed others to turn , the market-houses , and a great number of stalls and standings into inclosed shops , many of which are lett to several traders , to the great prejudice of the house-keepers and freemen of this city , which might be much better employed in the sale of provisions ; others of the said shops are lett to butchers and hucksters , which very much encourage regrating and forestalling of provisions , and the advancement of the prices thereof . we humbly conceive , that great sums are exacted by way of rents and fines , and are yet undiscovered , through the dread many of the market people were under , of being farther oppressed by the farmers , in case the city did not give them relief . upon the whole matter , we are of opinion , that the present farmers have forfeited their lease by non-payment of their rent , and by converting the markets to other uses than ought to be by the covenants contained therein ; and that , according to a proviso in the said lease , five shillings may be tender'd to avoid the same accordingly , and that the said markets may be managed by a committee , according to the aforementioned act , which we humbly conceive will tend much to the advantage of the city , and the ease of the people concerned ; all which we humbly submit to the wisdom of this honourable court. win gore , robert rowland , samuel westall , peter parker , daniel dorvill , roger thompson , john sherbooke , thomas aunger . the said committee did the 5th of august following order the publishing a printed table of rates ( for the information of the market people ) as settled in an act of common council , made the 17th of september , 1674. and likewise , that the farmers of the said markets have covenanted in their lease , that in case they or any of them shall at any time ( during the term thereby demised ) exact or take any greater rates or duties than are limited and appointed by the aforesaid act of common-council , they or some of them shall pay to the city , for every time they shall fo exact or take , the penalty of ten pounds . and that if the said farmers , or their assigns , shall require and receive more than according to the aforesaid rates , or disturb the market-people , who have paid or tender'd the said legal rates , in the quiet selling or exposing to sale , according to law , their commodities ; it is recommended to the parties grieved , to apply themselves to the lord mayor , or some other justice of peace of this city , for redress ; and to give notice thereof to this committee , that they may be proceeded against according to law , and the covenants and conditions of their lease . ☞ note , that the said committee being determined , and no regard had to the prosecuting of their begun reformation of the abuses then complained of , the greatest part of them are still continued , to the very great oppression of the poor market-people , and inhancing of the prices of victuals sold in the said markets . now that all persons aggriev'd may be inform'd what provision the law hath made in this case ; the statute made the 3 d. year of edw. i. cap. 31. against excessive toll , follows in these words : touching them that take outragious toll , contrary to the common custom of the realm in market towns. it is provided , that if any do so in the king's town , which is lett in fee farm , the king shall seize into his own hand the franchise of the market . and if it be anothers town , and the same be done by the lord of the town , the king shall do in like manner . and if it be done by a bailiff or any mean officer , without the commandment of his lord , be shall restore to the plantiff as much more for the outragious taking , as he had of him if he hath carried away his toll , and shall have forty days imprisonment . 1602. 1603. a true report of all the burials and christnings within the citie of london and the liberties thereof, from the 23. of december, 1602 to the 22. of december, 1603 vvhereunto is added the number of euery seuerall parish, from the 14. of iuly, to the 22. of december, aswell within the citie of london, and the liberties thereof, as in other parishes in the skirts of the citie and out of the freedome, adioyning to the citie: according to the report made to the kings most excellent maiestie, by the company of parish clearkes of the same citie. bills of mortality. 1602-12-23 to 1603-12-22 worshipful company of parish clerks. 1625 approx. 18 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 1 1-bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

't was thy peculiar , and unrivall'd pride at greatest distance to be magnify'd . when thy next * christian sister scarce do's know whether there be another world or no : when the false dutch more known in forreign parts , buy scorn with gold ; merchants of wealth not hearts . good heavens , good in the most severe decree ! must london first burn in epitomie , and then in gross ? must , o sharp vengeance ! must the glory of the world kiss her own dust ? shall then this mole-hill , and it's ants expire by parcels , some by water , some by fire ? or do great things , like restless circles , tend from their first point , unto the last , their end ? when neither forreign nor domestick wars , the distillations of malignant stars , thunder from heaven , nor it's terrestial ape gun-powder , could thy total ruine shape ; nor the long smotherings of fanatick heats , which when they broke out ended in cold sweats : shall balls of sulphur ( hells blew tapers ) light poor london to its fun'ral in one night ? shall britains great metropolis become alike in both her fortunes to old rome ? whose seat ( if we believe antiquitie ) is full as old , though not so proud as she ; surviv'd the cornucopia of her hills : time , strongest towns , as well as bodies , kills ! but when her life had drawn so long a breath , must she be mow'd down by a sudden death ? three days undo three thousand years ? o yes , one day ( when that one comes ) shall more than this ; shall make the world one fatal hearth , that day the last that ever hearth shall tribute pay ; though now as just as law ; ( and they that curse this duty , may they want both hearth and purse . ) but as in three days our jerus'lem fell , and gave the world an easie miracle : so three ( o golden number ) years being gone , shall spring old london's resurrection . now ( dearest city ) let my pencil trace the scatter'd lines of thy dis-figur'd face ; dropping tears as i pass ; tears shed too late to quench thy heats , and bribe thy stubborn fate ! this dreadful fire first seiz'd a narrow lane , as if the dutch or french had laid a train . but grant they or that boutifeu their roy , form'd this cheval for britain 's envy'd troy ; these might the stroke , did not the wound dispense , were but the vulcans of jove's providence . sin was the common cause , no faction freed ; here all dissenting parties were agreed . and let the author of our welfare , be the welcome author of our miserie ! rather than enemies , who but fulfill heavens just decrees , more by instinct then skill ! the fierce flame gathering strength had warm'd th' air and chill'd the people into cold despair : with swift wing from it straitned corner posts , and forth-with fish-street and fat east-cheap rosts . sunday ( to scourge our guilty rest with shame ) had giv'n , full dispensation to the flame . now london-bridge ( expected to provide auxiliar forces from the other side ) alarum'd by the fall of neighb'ring bells takes fire , and sinks into its stony cells ; blocks up the way with rubbish , and dire flames , threatning to choke his undermining thames . southwark , shut out , on it 's own banks appear'd as once when fiery cromwell domineer'd . thames-street hastens it ashes , to prevent all aids and succours from the river sent . the heated wind his flaming arrows cast , vvhich snatch'd both ends , and burnt the middle last . now the proud flame had took the open field and after hearts were vanquish'd , all things yeild ! rores thorough cannon-street and lombardie triumphing o're the cities liberty . this fiery dragon , higher still it flyes , the more extends his wings , and louder cryes . just so that spark of treason , ( first supprest in the dark angles of some private brest ) breaks through the mouth and nostrills into squibs , and having fir'd the author's reins and ribs , kindles from man to man by subtile art , till rebells are become the major part : thus late fanaticks in their zeal of pride march from close wood-street into broad cheap-side . now all in coaches , carrs , and vvaggons flye , london is sack'd withour an enemy . all things of beauty , shatter'd lost and gone ; little of london whole but london-stone . as if those bull-works of her wall and thames serv'd but to circle , and besiege her flames ! such active rams beat from each opposite wall , you would have judg'd the fire an animal . vvhen ( strangely ) it from adverse vvindows ror'd : neighbour his neighbour kindl'd and devour'd . houses the churches , churches houses fir'd , while profane sparks against divine conspir'd . this devastation makes one truth appear , how sanctimonious our fore-fathers were ; how thick they built their temples , long conceal'd by lofty buildings , now in flames reveal'd . then one small church serv'd many preists , but they the truth is , eat not rost meat every day . now the profane , not superstitious rout ( whose faith ascends no higher than to doubt ) may , without help of weekly papers , tell their churches , to their eyes made visible . our non-conformists ( if not harden'd ) may scatter some tears , where once they scorn'd to pray . now the imperious element did range without controle , kept a full ev'ning change. where the religious spices for some hours , seem'd to burn incense to th' incensed powers . at last the flame grown quite rebellious , calls our sacred monarchs to new funeralls . the conquerour here conquer'd , tumbles down as conscious of the burthen of a crown . only the good old founder , standing low , his station kept , and saw the dismal show . though the change broke , he 's not one penny worse , stands firm resolv'd to visit his new burse . which by her * opticks happily was sav'd , and for the honour of the city pav'd . here a good sum of active silver rais'd th' ingenious beggar , and wise donors prais'd . all fall to work , assisted by the guard , to whom , and money , nothing seemed hard . here fires met fires , but industry reclaims lost hope , and quench'd a parliament of flames . mean time the neighb'ring steeple trembling stood , defended not by stone , nor brick , but wood : yet was secure ' cause low ; to let us see what safety waits upon humilitie ! vvhen lawrence , three-cranes , cornhill , lofty bow , are all chastis'd , for making a proud show . one steeple lost its church , but not one bell ; reserv'd by fate to ring the city's knell . now the circumference from every part the center scalds ; poor london pants at heart ! cheapside the fair , is at a fatal loss vvants the old blessing of her golden cross . poor paul the aged has been sadly tost , reform'd , then after reformation lost ; plac'd in a circle of heaven's fiery wrath : the saint was tortur'd when he broke his faith ! at the east-end a spacious sheet of lead ( rent from the rest ) his altar canoped ; but from its coale below strange fires did rise , and the whole temple prov'd the sacrifice . altars may others save , but cannot be ( vvhen heaven forsakes 'em ) their own sanctuarie ! then was their doleful musick as the quire , when the sweet organs breath was turn'd to fire . was 't not enough the holy church had been invaded in her rites and discipline ? must her known fundamentals be baptiz'd in purging flames , and paul's school chatechiz'd ? she that had long her tardy pupills stripp'd , is now her self with fiery scorpions whipp'd . but when i pass the sacred martyrs west i close my eyes and smite my troubled breast ; vvhat shall we now for his dear mem'ry do vvhen fire un-carves , and stones are mortal too ? let it stand un-repair'd , for ever keep its mournful dress , thus for its founder weep . by this time lud with the next newgate smokes , and their dry pris'ners in the dungeon chokes ; vvho left by keepers to their own reprives broke goale , not for their liberty but lives ; vvhile good eliza on the out-side arch fir'd into th' old mode , stands in yellow starch . though fancy makes not pictnres live , or love , yet pictures fancy'd may the fancy move : me-thinks the queen on white-hall cast her eye ; an arrow could not more directly flye . but when she saw her palace safe , her fears vanish , one eye drops smiles , the other tears . vvhere ( christ-church ) is thy half-cathedral now ? fallen too ? then all but heaven to fate must bow ! vvhere is thy famous hospital ? must still the greatest good be recompens'd with ill ? that house of orphans clad in honest blew ; the vvorld's example , but no parallel knew . cold charity has been a long complaint , here she was too warm like a martyr'd saint . vvhere are those stately fabricks of our halls , founders of sumptuous feasts and hospitalls ? vvhere is the guild , that place of grand resort for civil rights , the royal cities court ? forc'd to take sanctuary in the tower , to show , what safety is in regal power ! not gog or magog could defend it ; these had they had sense , had been in little-ease . chymnies and shatter'd vvalls we gaze upon our bodie politicks sad skeleton ! now was the dismal conflagration stopp'd , having some branches of the suburbs lopp'd . though most within the verge ; as if th' ad show'd their mutual freedome was to be destroy'd . vvhen after one dayes rest . the temple smokes , and with fresh fires and fears the strand provokes but with good conduct all was slak'd that night by one more valiant than a templar knight . here a brisk rumour of affrighted gold sent hundreds in ; more covetous than bold . but a brave seaman up the tyles did skip as nimbly as the cordage of a ship , bestrides the sings'd hall on its highest ridge , moving as if he were on london-bridge , or on the narrow of a skullers keel : feels neither head nor heart nor spirits reel . had some few thousands been as bold as hee , and london , in her fiery tryal free ; then ( with submission to the highest will ) london now buried had been living still . thus chant the people , who are seldom wise till things be past , before-hand have no eyes . but when i sigh my self into a pause , i find another more determin'd cause : had tyber swell'd his monstrous waves , and come over the seven hills of our flaming rome , 't had been in vain : no less than noah's flood . can quench flames kindled by a martyr's blood . now loyal london has full ransome paid for that defection the disloyal made : whose ashes hatch'd by a kind monarch's breath , shall rise a fairer phoenix after death . finis . notes, typically marginal, from the original text notes for div a35206-e160 * [ paris . ] * mr. hooke . two essays in political arithmetick concerning the people, housing, hospitals, &c. of london and paris / by sir william petty ... petty, william, sir, 1623-1687. 1687 approx. 16 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 14 1-bit group-iv tiff page images. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ; oxford (uk) : 2003-11 (eebo-tcp phase 1). a54629 wing p1942 estc r13444 12363809 ocm 12363809 60342 this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons 0 1.0 universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng london (england) -statistics, vital. paris (france) -statistics, vital. 2003-07 tcp assigned for keying and markup 2003-07 spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images 2003-08 mona logarbo sampled and proofread 2003-08 mona logarbo text and markup reviewed and edited 2003-10 pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion white-hall , aug. 26th 1686. let this paper be printed . sunderland p. two essays in political arithmetick , concerning the people , housing , hospitals , &c. of london and paris . by sir william petty , fellow of the royal society . — qui sciret regibus uti fastidiret olus — london , printed for i. lloyd in the middle exchange next salisbury-house in the strand . 1687. to the king's most excellent majesty . i do presume , in a very small paper , to shew your majesty , that your city of london seems more considerable than the two best cities of the french monarchy , and for ought i can find , greater than any other of the universe , which because i can say without flattery , and by such demonstration as your majesty can examine , i humbly pray your majesty to accept from your majesty's most humble , loyal and obedient subject , william petty . an essay in political arithmetick , by sir william petty , tending to prove that london hath more people and housing than the cities of paris and rouen put together , and is also more considerable in several other respects . 1. the medium of the burials at london in the three last years , viz , 1683 , 1684 and 1685 , ( wherein there was no extraordinary sickness , and wherein the christenings do correspond in their ordinary proportions with the burials and christenings of each year one with another ) was 22337 , and the like medium of burials for the three last paris bills we could procure , viz. for the years 1682 , 1683 and 1684 ( whereof the last as appears by the christenings to have been very sickly ) is 19887. 2. the city of bristol in england appears to be by good estimate of its trade and customes as great as rouen in france , and the city of dublin in ireland appears to have more chimnies than bristol , and consequently more people , and the burials in dublin were anno 1682 ( being a sickly year ) but 2263. 3. now the burials of paris ( being 19887 ) being added to the burials of dublin ( supposed more than at rouen ) being 2263 , makes but 22150 , whereas the burials of london were 187 more , or 22337 , or as about 6 to 7. 4. if those who die unnecessarily , and by miscarriage in l'hostel dieu in paris ( being above 3000 ) as hath been elsewhere shewn , or any part thereof , should be subtracted out of the paris burials aforementioned , then our assertion will be stronger , and more proportionable to what follows concerning the housing of those cities , viz. 5. there were burnt at london , anno 1666 , above 13000 houses , which being but a fifth part of the whole , the whole number of houses in the said year , were above 65000 ; and whereas the ordinary burials of london have increased between the years 1666 and 1686 , above one third , the total of the houses at london anno 1686 , must be about 87000 , which anno 1682 , appeared by accompt to have been 84000. 6. monsieur morery , the great french author of the late geographical dictionaries , who makes paris the greatest city in the world , doth reckon but 50000 houses in the same , and other authors and knowing men much less ; nor are there full 7000 houses in the city of dublin , so as if the 50000 houses of paris and the 7000 houses in the city of dublin were added together , the total is but 57000 houses , whereas those of london are 87000 as aforesaid , or as 6 to 9. 7. as for the shipping and foreign commerce of london , the common sense of all men doth judge it to be far greater than that of paris and rouen put together . 8. as to the wealth and gain accruing to the inhabitants of london and paris by law-suits ( or la chicane ) lonely say that the courts of london extend to all england and wales , and affect seven millions of people , whereas those of paris do not extend near so far : moreover there is no palpable conspicuous argument at paris for the number and wealth of lawyers like the buildings and chambers in the two temples , lincoln's inn , gray's inn , doctors commons , and the seven other inns in which are chimnies , which are to be seen at london , besides many lodgings , halls and offices relating to the same . 9. as to the plentifull and easie living of the people we say , 1. that the people of paris to those of london , being as about 6 to 7 , and the housing of the same as about 6 to 9 , we infer that the people do not live at london so close and crouded as at paris , but can afford themselves more room and liberty . 2. that at london the hospitals are better and more desirable than those of paris , for that in the best at paris there die 2 out of 15 , whereas at london there die out of the worst scarce 2 of 16 , and yet but a fiftieth part of the whole die out of the hospitals at london , and ⅖ or 20 times that proportion die out of the paris hospitals which are of the same kind ; that is to say , the number of those at london who chuse to lie sick in hospitals rather than in their own houses , are to the like people of paris as one to twenty ; which shews the greater poverty or want of means in the people of paris than those of london . 3. we infer from the premisses , viz. the dying scarce 2 of 16 out of the london hospitals , and about 2 of 15 in the best of paris , ( to say nothing of l' hostel dieu ) that either the physicians and chirurgeons of london are better than those of paris , or that the air of london is more wholesome . 10. as for the other great cities of the world , if paris were the greatest , we need say no more in behalf of london . as for pequin in china , we have no account fit to reason upon ; nor is there any thing in the description of the two late voyages of the chines's emperour from that city into east and west tartary , in the years 1682 and 1683 , which can make us recant what we have said concerning london . as for dely and agra belonging to the mogull we find nothing against our position , but much to shew the vast numbers which attend that emperour in his business and pleasures . 11. we shall conclude with constantinople and gran cairo ; as for constantinople it hath been said by one who endeavour'd to shew the greatness of that city , and the greatness of the plague which reigned in it , that there died 1500 per diem , without other circumstances : to which we answer , that in the year 1665 there died in london 1200 per diem , and it hath been well proved that the plague of london never carried away above ⅕ of the people , whereas it is commonly believed that in constantinople , and other eastern cities , and even in italy and spain , that the plague takes away ⅖ one half or more ; wherefore where 1200 is but ⅕ of the people it is probable that the number was greater , than where 1500 was ⅖ or one half , &c. 12. as for gran cairo it is reported , that 73000 died in 10 weeks or 1000 per diem , where note , that at gran cairo the plague comes and goes away suddenly , and that the plague takes away 2 or ⅗ parts of the people as aforesaid ; so as 73000 was probably the number of those that died of the plague in one whole year at gran cairo , whereas at london anno 1665 , 97000 were brought to account to have died in that year . wherefore it is certain , that that city wherein 97000 was but ⅕ of the people , the number was greater than where 73000 was ⅖ or the half . we therefore conclude , that london hath more people , housing , shipping and wealth , than paris and rouen put together ; and for ought yet appears , is more considerable than any other city in the vniverse , which was propounded to be proved . an essay in political arithmetick , by sir william petty , tending to prove that in the hospital called l' hostel dieu at paris , there die above 3000 per annum by reason of ill accommodation . 1. it appears that anno 1678 there entred into the hospital of la charité 2647 souls , of which there died there within the said year 338 , which is above an eighth part of the said 2647 , and that in the same year there entred into l' hostel dieu 21491 , and ▪ that ▪ there died out of that number 5630 , which is above one quarter , so as about half the said 5630 , being 2815 , seem to have died for want of as good usage and accommodation as might have been had at la charité . 2. moreover in the year 1679 there entred into la charité 3118 , of which there died 452 , which is above a seventh part , and in the same year there entred into l' hostel dieu 28635 , of which there died 8397 , and in both the said years 1678 and 1679 ( being very different in their degrees of mortality ) there entred into l' hostel dieu 28635 and 21491 , in all 50126 , the medium whereof is 25063 , and there died out of the same in the said two years 5630 & 8397 , in all 14027 , the medium whereof is 7013. 3. there entred in the said years into la charité 2647 and 3118 , in all 5765 , the medium whereof is 2882 , whereof there died 338 and 452 , in all 790 , the medium whereof is 395. 4. now if there died out of l' hostel dieu 7013 per annum , and that the proportion of those that died out of l' hostel dieu is double to those that died out of la charité ( as by the above numbers it appears to be near there abouts ) then it follows that half the said numbers of 7013 being 3506 , did not die by natural necessity , but by the evil administration of that hospital . 5. this conclusion seem'd at the first sight very strange , and rather to be some mistake or chance than a solid and real truth , but considering the same matter as it appeared at london , we were more reconciled to the belief of it , viz. 1. in the hospital of st. bartholomew in london there was sent out and cured in the year 1685 , 1764 persons , and there died out of the said hospital 252. moreover there were sent out and cured out of st. thomas's hospital 1523 , and buried 209 , that is to say , there were cur'd in both hospitals 3287 , and buried out of both hospitals 461 , and consequently cured and buried 3748 , of which number the 461 buried is less than an eighth part , whereas at la charité the part that died was more than an eighth part ; which shews that out of the most poor and wretched hospitals of london there died fewer in proportion than out of the best in paris . 2. farthermore , it hath been above shewn that there died out of la charité at a medium 395 per annum , and 141 out of les incurables making in all 536 ; and that out of st. bartholomew's and st. thomas's hospital , london , there died at a medium but 461 , of which les incurables are part ; which shews that although there be more people in london than in paris , yet there went at london not so many people to hospitals as there did at paris , although the poorest hospitals at london , were better than the best at paris ; which shews that the poorest people at london have better accommodation in their own houses , than the best hospital of paris affordeth . 6. having proved that there die about 3506 persons at paris unnecessarily to the damage of france , we come next to compute the value of the said damage and of the remedy thereof , as follows , viz. the value of the said 3506 at 60 li. sterl . per head , being about the value of argier slaves , ( which is less than the intrinsick value of people at paris ) the whole loss of the subjects of france in that hospital seems to be 60 times 3506 li. sterl . per annum , viz. 210 thousand 360 li. sterl . equivalent to about two millions 524 thous . 320 french livers . 7. it hath appeared that there came into l' hostel dieu at a medium 25063 per annum , or 2089 per mensem , and that the whole stock of what remain'd in the precedent months is at a medium about 2108 ( as may appear by the third line of the table n o 5 , which shall be shortly published ) viz. the medium of months is 2410 for the sickly year 1679 , whereunto 1806 , being added as the medium of months for the year 1678 makes 4216 , the medium whereof is the 2108 above mentioned ; which number being added to the 2089 which entred each month , makes 4197 for the number of sick which are supposed to be always in l' hostel dieu one time with another . 8. now if 60 french livers per annum for each of the said 4197 sick persons were added to the present ordinary expence of that hospital ( amounting to an addition of 251 thousand 820 livers ) it seems that so many lives might be saved as are worth above ten times that sum , and this by doing a manifest deed of charity to mankind . memorandum , that anno 1685. the burials of london were 23222 , and those of amsterdam 6245 ; from whence , and the difference of air , 't is probable that the people of london are quadruple to those of amsterdam . finis . die mercurij 16. aprill, 1645. ordered by the lords and commons in parliament assembled, that the lord major of the city of london is hereby desired and required to give direction that publike thanksgiving be made on the next lords day, in every church, & chappel within the lines of communication, and bills of mortallity for gods blessing to the forces in scotland, against the rebells in that kingdome. england and wales. parliament. this text is an enriched version of the tcp digital transcription a82956 of text r200015 in the english short title catalog (thomason e278_10). textual changes and metadata enrichments aim at making the text more computationally tractable, easier to read, and suitable for network-based collaborative curation by amateur and professional end users from many walks of life. the text has been tokenized and linguistically annotated with morphadorner. the annotation includes standard spellings that support the display of a text in a standardized format that preserves archaic forms ('loveth', 'seekest'). textual changes aim at restoring the text the author or stationer meant to publish. this text has not been fully proofread approx. 1 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 1 1-bit group-iv tiff page image. earlyprint project evanston,il, notre dame, in, st. louis, mo 2017 a82956 wing e1734 thomason e278_10 estc r200015 99860817 99860817 112942 this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons 0 1.0 universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

't is his pleasure to acknowledge he was getting an estate by trade when the rebellion broke out in england ; and that i suppose fitted him afterwards to bear a part in that blustrous government , as to have the honour to be nominated a steers-man in that committee of safety , which had like to have ruined the whole commonwealth . and yet , 't is true , a man may be of very ill principles in 1658. and become a wonderful good man again in 1660. when his beloved estate and safety , begins to be call'd in question ; which made the pleasant fellow , who ( walking with a great lanthorn and candle lighted at noon-day , on the 29 th . of may , on the king's return ) said , that he had been seeking for a round-head all that day , but verily and truly could not find one from westminster to aldgate . but to come to the point : was there ever such a man of vertue heard of since adam ( that managed a trade ) who thus confidently avers , that his conversation has been such , in all his dealings in the world , as to deserve no reproach from any man upon earth ? we all well know , that in traffique and trade in the world the justest man falls seven times a day , as occasion may offer . and 't is to be supposed , that a man that gets an over-grown estate amongst us in a way of trade , cannot get every peny so exactly just as not to be liable to the reproach of any tongue whatsoever ; surely if that had been true which our sheriff affirms , he had never fallen under the present obloquy . but — now after all this , since you called him forth from his private retirement to the honour he now enjoys : behold , ( good man ) how he calls in one of the prophets to testifie against you , for maliciously reproaching , scandalizing and making his office troublesom to him . why now , let any man judge if ever sheriff ( since richard the ill 's time ) was so abused by his fellow citizens : surely we have not lost our manners and due regards to that honourable office , have we ? come let us but impartially enquire into the reasons of these things . first he says , we charge him with being a papist and a jesuit ; and to colour our lies call in the kings evidence to testifie against him ; why truly this could not be said but by an errant tory , or some masquerading fellow ; no loyal , honest or sober citizen could have offer'd such an affront to his worship ; and yet dr. oats is a shrewd man too at guessing ; — but however , we may say there was an odd jesuitical principle that actuated in the late times , to do even such things as jesuits would if they could ; and so possibly there may be colour for some such tittle tattle among the people at the election in southwark : but when dr. oats comes to town he will clear this point . and for the election in southwark , i may freely say this , that the commoners did very discreetly in electing two unquestionable loyal persons , capt. rich and sir r. how ; and in such elections there do not want reflections on each candidate ; for i have been told that some of the sheriff's party did bespatter them too with the title of abhorrers , and i overs of arbitrary power ; so that 't is pretty even on both sides . as for what he is accused of in being a souldier of the late times , i am apt to believe his worship says truth ; but what to say to that malicious whisper of words spoken by him at hambrough about the king's death , i leave that to be decided by law ; only a man would think our sheriff no good king's man , since he is thus traduced by persons of the same rank and place he dwelt in , and his daily companions . but for the next malicious slander , of his being one of those in vizards that assisted at the death of his late majesty ; i profess i wonder any person should be so confident to accuse him ; for after all the imaginable care and scrutiny to find the truth , ( by the council and the parliament ) upon his majesties return , they never yet could learn who those bloudy villains were that murthered our dear sovereign o● blessed memory ; so that we might as well have said they were two of oliver's chaplains , as well as our sheriff and another person in masquerade ; so far i must do him all the right i can . as to the story of the waterman's coat , 't is very odd ; such a thing might be ; for all men are not in a good humour with watermen at all times : tho' a kings waterman ( to some constitutions ) is more obnoxious than a city waterman . and so much for that point too . but i shall now come home to the matter in hand ( so far as concerns us citizens ) in taking notice of our sheriff's vindication . as for his house-keeping , he does very elaborately let us know that he does not dwell in a garret , ( nor hired cellar or pantry i suppose ) and that if we had not anger'd him , in choosing mr. pilkington ( a meer commoner ) alderman of the ward , and gave him the go-by , he would have dwelt in a larger ( taylor 's ) house , and established his tables , and taken in officers , &c. why truly this is a very good reason for a man to be angry with house-keeping and maintaining any part of the repute and honour of the city ; and so , for ought i see , we must be contented with it ; for there is an honourable thriftiness as well as an honourable prodigal lavish house-keeping , especially among the magistrates of the city of london ; and for a man to relieve poor distressed citizens , and prisoners , and others in want , when the law of the land provides for them otherwise , is a thing so lavish and prodigal , that no sheriff of london ought to evade it , especially when the loss of being alderman of the ward and knighthood is in the case . and then when a man consults the wholsom laws against excess of feasting , which our sheriff says are the most wholsom , ( nay more wholsom laws than the 35 th . of eliz. or 16 th . of our king ten to one : ) why truly no man breathing would feast every day , or endure it in his house . when i came to one paragraph , ( which is a quotation out of some modern jesuit ) i protest i stood amazed to hear of a meritorious congruity as well as condignity ; now where there can be no congruity , there ought to be condignity , that 's most clear ; and therefore since we could not agree to make him alderman of the ward , 't is fit he should tell us of it by the way of condignity . and so much for a meritorious congruity . but since the preferment is gone , and we have abused him into the bargain , he tells you , that he cares not a f — for 't , for he has tasted morepleasure in a retired life , than ever to thrust himself into troublesom and lofty places : which yet to me seems strange ; for if he had continued in his state of privacy , and paid the usual fine to the city , he might have been excused as well as others have been , and consequently undergon no reproach ; but some think 't was a fit time for such men to up and be doing something against popery and arbitrary government , and to preserve liberty and property , &c. to hinder wholsom laws made against protestant dissenters from being put in execution : truth is , i must needs say , that we that had so much throng and sweat to choose him , ought not to bespatter him at the rate we have done ; for he could not honestly deny us when we chose him so freely , as he saith ; but yet not so freely neither , but that there was tugging and pulling at it , and a world of pudder made by the tory and tantivy party , viz. the folks of the church of england , or the old protestants , who were generally against it . then , in the next place , comes in three or four paragraphs of rhetorical harangues upon the city to shew a further reason of not keeping up the port and grandeur of his office by generous and publick house-keeping . now here lies the point ; can any lord , knight , gentleman , citizen , stranger or foreigner possibly make a meal out of a dish of sheriffs paragraphs ? can any of the poor prisoners in any of the gaols feed on a basket of paragraphs ? if they can , much good may they do 'em ; i had , for my part , rather dine with my countrey-man sheriff cornish ( who i hear retains a western kind of generous hospitality ) than at such a feast . the next paragraph is to display the several atchievments and common customs of the city , and ( much like jordan's annual lord mayors shew ) tells us what we observe and practice in relation to maintaining the publick honour and reputation of the city , but begs your pardon for appearing in them himself on all occasions . first , because my lord mayor was not well lately . secondly , that the easter sermons were at sepulchre's , when they should have been at the spittle . and another reason may be too possibly , because a bishop and a dean preached ; the latter having lately wrote an excellent piece against protestant dissenting brethren . but now we are at house-keeping again , and we will shew more and stronger reasons for no feasting than for feasting : and first , he says , 't is of no honour to the city , but a reat prejudice and scandal to the government . ( still our worship saves our bacon . ) 2dly . that 't is customary to feast companies on set days , and entertain particular friends on others : from which i conclude our sheriff loves not this formal feasting . 3dly . that the honour the sheriff gets by such feasting is not tantamount to the charge , though two guinies be given by every livry-man for his double treat and spoon . i 'le assure you a very good caution these hard times to our city livry : men : but then , 4 thly . and beyond all , his worship compares this generous , honourable and hospitable way of the sheriff's feasting to a poor countrey-wedding , the way being to invite a great many to a great feast , ( which however is beyond some sheriffs too , by your leave , ) on purpose to get money and houshold stuff for them to begin the world with ▪ now how the comparison will hold in this case let any man judge : but then we livry-men must have a care what we do now , for we are forbid to hearken to either master or wardens this year , since the sheriff resolves not to accept of our guinies , for the several reasons before-mentioned . well , in the next place , you the several former sheriffs , that have emulated one another in feasting on private days , and out-vy'd each other in splendour and gallantry , ( now one would think this should mean the king 's being treated at supper at some of your houses not many years since , ) i say you are severely rebuked , and for ought i perceive compared to the wantons of jerusalem , who with so much fulness of bread and idleness provok'd the heavy judgments of god to fall upon them . now whether your sort of feasting be like theirs , that 's the point : for my part i think hospitable house-keeping and feeding the poor and needy ( as we may see at lambeth house every day , and other good houses ) are very laudable and honourable things , in no wise offensive , to god , to religion and good custom ; i think far from that riotous feasting at jerusalem . and so much for feasting without a meal . and now who would think that this very sin of feasting should make our sheriff carefully and tenderly affraid , lest an angel he sent from heaven with the plagues of sodom on our city too ? god forbid we should ever requite the lord so for his stupendious goodness to us in our late deliverances from the hands of popish conspiracy and lanatick rage , and i am , with his worships favour , and on better grounds and reasons , more afraid that the whoredoms , false oaths , rebellious witchcrafts ( that stink in the nostrils of heaven ) will bring judgments on us , as in the case of korah dathan and abiram , than innocent feasting , by sheriffs or other citizens . and so much for this point too at present . but to conclude : methinks among all the worthy and loyal booksellers in our city , mr. sheriff might have pleased to have chosen one out of them to print and expose his vindication , rather than frank smith ( his prisoner for treason , as some say ; ) but however , every man to his fancy ; for my part i would never have his name to any thing i shall ever write , for this very reason . that he never yet printed any thing ( save our worships vindication ) but was either tinkerly heresie , or seditious naked truth , or welsh glosses on divine ones : and so i wish him a safe deliverance , and our sheriff well out of his troublesom office ; taking my leave and subscribe , tower hill may 2 1681. my lord and fellow citizens your lordships servant ▪ and faithful and honest brother citizen , w. w. h●amb●rough : printed for the use of the english merchants . apill [sic] 15, 1643 you are required to commend to god in your prayers ... city of london (england). this text is an enriched version of the tcp digital transcription a49052 of text r39653 in the english short title catalog (wing l2878c). textual changes and metadata enrichments aim at making the text more computationally tractable, easier to read, and suitable for network-based collaborative curation by amateur and professional end users from many walks of life. the text has been tokenized and linguistically annotated with morphadorner. the annotation includes standard spellings that support the display of a text in a standardized format that preserves archaic forms ('loveth', 'seekest'). textual changes aim at restoring the text the author or stationer meant to publish. this text has not been fully proofread approx. 1 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 1 1-bit group-iv tiff page image. earlyprint project evanston,il, notre dame, in, st. louis, mo 2017 a49052 wing l2878c estc r39653 18460776 ocm 18460776 107737 this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons 0 1.0 universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng papillon, thomas, 1623-1702 -early works to 1800. dubois, john -early works to 1800. sheriffs -england -early works to 1800. london (england) -politics and government -17th century -early works to 1800. 2008-04 tcp assigned for keying and markup 2008-04 spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images 2008-05 emma (leeson) huber sampled and proofread 2008-05 emma (leeson) huber text and markup reviewed and edited 2008-09 pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion a paper presented by divers citizens of the city of london , sept. 5. 1682. to the right honourable the lord mayor and court of aldermen . the citizens of this city having duly elected thomas papillon and john dubois esquires , two of their fellow citizens sheriffs of this city and the county of middlesex for the year ensuing , and your lord ship and this court having not caused proclamation to be made for the said persons to appear and take the said office upon them according to the laws and customs of this city ;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng markets -law and legislation -england -london. london (england) -history -17th century. 2006-12 tcp assigned for keying and markup 2006-12 aptara keyed and coded from proquest page images 2007-01 mona logarbo sampled and proofread 2007-01 mona logarbo text and markup reviewed and edited 2007-02 pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion ford blazon or coat of arms mayor . martis 17. die januarii 1670. annoque regni regis caroli secundi , angliae , &c. vicesimo secundo . whereas the fish-market at billingsgate , by reason of the dismal fire and other accidents , hath for some late years been in much disorder , and yet continues without that due regulation , which by antient rules and provisions it ought to be : therefore for restoring the same to the former good order and condition , it was now considered and ordered by this court , that the fish-market at billingsgate shall be kept from the bottom of st. mary-hill to billingsgate-stairs : and that no fish be sold aboard any vessel or boat except herrings , sprats , makrel , and shell-fish , nor in any other place or key , then in the said place at billingsgate , and at queenhithe , which are the antient places accustomed for that purpose . and it is further ordered , that the bell at billingsgate shall be henceforth duly rung by the yeoman at the water-side , for beginning of the market there ( that is to say ) from lady day to michaelmas at four of the clock in the morning , and from michaelmas to lady day at six of the clock in the morning . and if any shall presume to buy or sell any sorts of fish at the said markets before those hours respectively , and notice thereof given by ringing of the said bell ( excepting makrel , sprats . and herrings ) such offender and offenders shall be proceeded against as forestallers of the market , as by the law in this case is directed and provided . and it is further ordered , that no fish be hereafter landed at other then the common and accustomed keys and places above-mentioned . of all which the yeoman of the water-side , and under-water bayliff are to be careful , and vigilant to prevent the contrary , at their utmost perils . avery . printed by andrew clark , printer to the honourable city of london . 15. june, 1645. it is desired that all the ministers in london, the liberties, and within the lines of communication doe this sabbath day blesse god that hee hath beene pleased to heare our prayers in the behalf of our army ... city of london (england). lord mayor. this text is an enriched version of the tcp digital transcription a88471 of text r200104 in the english short title catalog (thomason e288_20). textual changes and metadata enrichments aim at making the text more computationally tractable, easier to read, and suitable for network-based collaborative curation by amateur and professional end users from many walks of life. the text has been tokenized and linguistically annotated with morphadorner. the annotation includes standard spellings that support the display of a text in a standardized format that preserves archaic forms ('loveth', 'seekest'). textual changes aim at restoring the text the author or stationer meant to publish. this text has not been fully proofread approx. 1 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 1 1-bit group-iv tiff page image. earlyprint project evanston,il, notre dame, in, st. louis, mo 2017 a88471 wing l2882c thomason e288_20 estc r200104 99860908 99860908 113035 this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons 0 1.0 universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

for i shall for ever esteeme your good , and the good of all your faithfull subjects , the only businesse of all my actions , and shall be contented to share with you and them ( not only in blessings , but ) even in the worst of times that can happen to a disconsolate & unjust banished wife . sir , concerning the propositions tendred your majesty , i humbly conceive , the chiefe things to be considered will be two , conscience and policy . for the first , i know it never entred into your royal thoughts to change the government by bishops not only concurring with the most generall opinion of most christians in all ages , as being the best ; but considering you hold your selfe bound by the oath you took at your coronation , not to alter the government of the church from what you found it . and for the churches patrimony , you cannot suffer any diminution or alienation of it , without danger to your conscience , or breach of your coronation oath ; but whatsoever shall be offered for the certifying abuses crept into the church in government or discipline , or , for the ease of tender consciences , ( indangering not the foundation , ) i desire your majesty to lend a speedy ear unto , and give your gracious answer . for as it is your majesties duty to protect the church , so it is the churches duty to assist your majesty in maintaining your just authority ; for as your predecessors have alwayes bin careful to keep the dependency of the clergy intirely upon the crown , without which ( as i humbly conceive ) it will scarcely sit fast upon your royall head ; therefore it behoves your majesty to do nothing to change or lessen this so necessary dependency . the other maine proposition will be concerning the militia : next to conscience ( certainly ) there is no fi●●r subject for a kings quarrell ; for without it , your majesties power is but a shaddow , and therefore by no meanes to be quitted , but to be maintained according to the known lawes of the land : yet for the speedy attainment of this so long looked for and wished for peace , prayed for by all good christians , that your majesty may be pleased to permit the city of london , and all other strong holds and garrisons , with other military forts , to reside in the hands of the parliaments generall sir thomas fairfax , untill articles be performed and agreed upon , to give such further assurance for performance of conditions , as your majesty shall judge necessary for the concluding of a firme and lasting peace ; which being once setled , all things may return , and run in their ancient channels . thus , dear heart , understanding that commissioners were sent to you , from both houses of parliament , with propositions , i thought good to put you in mind that you have a care of your honour ; and that if you have a peace , it may be such as may hold . farewell , my deare heart , i cannot write any more , but that i am absolutely yours . the generals declaration . vvhereas the great neglect of divers persons within the city of london , hath occasioned too many delayes in raising money for supply of the army , and other forces of the kingdome ; his excellency sir thomas fairfax , and the general-councell of the army , doth declare , that they take notice of the great wants of the souldiery , both of the army , and other forces , and garrisons ; as also of the sufferings of the county , in respect of free quarter , which might have been peevented , and a course taken for disbanding superfluous forces , and sending over of others for the reliefe of ireland , and the supplying of those that are there already , had it not been for neglect or delay of those on whom the parliament have depended in that particular , and they doe especially take notice of the delayes made by the city in advancing of that summe , which the houses have demanded of them upon the security of the arreares so long since due from the city to the army ; upon which they doe declare , and propound to this effect . 1. that they cannot but consider the notorious readinesse of the court of aldermen , to the advancing of far greater sums for the raising of a new warre , and prosecution of the late mischievous practises and designes against the parliament and army ; and that as their predipitate forwardnesse therein , was the occasion of the armies coming into these parts , so their backwardnesse to the raising or advancing of the money now required for the service of the parliament , & supply of the army , hath been and is the occasion of the armies continuance hence : and therefore they cannot but offer it is , as what they humbly conceive most just and reasonable . that for what time their defauls or delayes have occasioned , and shall further occasion the armies stay hereabouts , the charge thereof should some way be laid upon them , and their adherents about the city . that the houses would be pleased speedily to consider of the delinquencie of those that had a hand in the tumult , desine , and engagement of a new warre , and that such fines may be upon them for the same , as shall bee agreeable to justice . lastly , since it is most evident , that for the speedy bringing in of the money required upon the arrears , there wants not in the said major , aldermen , and common-councell , either authority to levy it , or ability to advance it by way of loan till it can be levyed , and it is therefore offered , that in case the money be not brought in by the time limited , the parliament would be pleased to give leave to the generall ( with the advice and directions of the committee for the army ) for the levying of the said arreares all which they rather desire from grounds of reason and evidence from the speeches of many in the city , and designes and hopes of the parliament and armies enemies to raise the army into distempers , and the country about them into confusion . this declaration was agreed upon at the head-quarters at putney , upon thursday last , there being a generall councell of the army appointed to be held every thursday . the generall councell met in the church , the generall , many generall officers , field-officers , inferiour officers , and agitators met . a great part of the time was spent in consideration , and debate of the proposals of the army , and some few things agreed upon to be altered , and explained in them , which no doubt will give much satisfaction to the kingdome . after the aforesaid declaration was finished , it was , by the appointment of his excellency , and the councell of warre , sent to the right honourable the commissioners of lords and commons residing with the army , to be presented from them to both houses of parliament , which according , with a letter from the generall and army , to this effect , vix . that they earnestly desired , some speedy course might be taken for their pay , that so they might be inabled to pay their quarters , was presented to both houses of parliament upon satturday last , and after reading thereof , ordered to be communicated to the lord major , aldermen , and common-councell of the city of london . finis . sir, you are desired to send in your horse & armes required of you by warrant from the militia of london, to the new artillary-ground, upon monday next being the nine and twentieth of this instant iuly, by eight of the clock in the forenoone. dated this 26 of iuly 1650. your reall freind[sic] jacob strange. strange, jacob. this text is an enriched version of the tcp digital transcription a93957 of text r205913 in the english short title catalog (thomason e608_14). textual changes and metadata enrichments aim at making the text more computationally tractable, easier to read, and suitable for network-based collaborative curation by amateur and professional end users from many walks of life. the text has been tokenized and linguistically annotated with morphadorner. the annotation includes standard spellings that support the display of a text in a standardized format that preserves archaic forms ('loveth', 'seekest'). textual changes aim at restoring the text the author or stationer meant to publish. this text has not been fully proofread approx. 1 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 1 1-bit group-iv tiff page image. earlyprint project evanston,il, notre dame, in, st. louis, mo 2017 a93957 wing s5809 thomason e608_14 estc r205913 99865141 99865141 165699 this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons 0 1.0 universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

1st . note , that nich. wilmot is clerk to the committee for letting the city's lands : and goodfellow is clerk to the court of lord mayor and aldermen . 2dly , note , that mr. allen , as tenant to the city for wharfage , groundage , and the tolls , pays for the farm thereof 95 l per annum . and mr. allen , as tenant to the lord mayor , pays to his lordship for his samples and perquisites above 550 l per annum . and 't is believed the four yeomen of the waterside , and under water-bailiff , do receive of the fisher-men and market-people , as their own perquisites , near as much as mr. allen doth for his farm , for which he pays the lord mayor 550 l per annum . 3dly . note , mrs carpenter , as tenant to the city , pays not above 26 l per annum for the city's interest in the water-balliage at billingsgate . 4thly . note , that the city pays to the four yeomen of the waterside , for fees and salaries , above 20 l per annum each ; and to the under water-bailiff about the same sum , which in the whole is above 100 l per annum charge to the city , and the city receives but 12● l per annum for the wharfage , groundage , toll , and interest there : thus consequently the city's income there is not above 21 l per annum , yet it must be own'd that the lord mayor may chance upon a vacancy to have 5 or 600 l for each of these places of yeomen of the waterside ; and if the head-water-bailiff chance to die , the lord mayor will scarcely take under 1500 l for his place ; for the city pays him above 65 l per annum salary , and the perquisites are very considerable , which he takes to his own use , tho they are due to the city only . 5thly . note , that the fishmongers in their case to parliament have misrepresented the law and custom of the city markets , which are expresly thus , that if any retailer or trader in this city , who buy to sell again , do buy to sell again , &c. before the second ringing of the bell , such offender shall forfeit 40 s the markets being most principally intended for the benefit and advantage of housekeepers and others , who buy for their own use , to be spent in their families , and may provide for themselves in the morning at the best hand , and pay moderate rates for their provisions , see the acts of common council for city-markets , made 1631. and the 17th of september , 1674. page 8. 6thly . but as sir nicholas bacon well observed , in a speech to both houses of parliament , a law without execution is but a body without life ;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng vaughan, henry. stamford, henry grey, -earl of, 1599?-1673. fleetstreet riot, london, england, 10 july 1629. riots -england -london -early works to 1800. london (england) -history -17th century. great britain -history -charles i, 1625-1649. 2000-00 tcp assigned for keying and markup 2001-06 spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images 2001-06 tcp staff (michigan) sampled and proofread 2001-00 tcp staff (michigan) text and markup reviewed and edited 2001-11 pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion by the king. a proclamation for the better discouery and apprehension of those malefactors , who were actors in the late insolent riots and murders committed in fleetstreet , london , vpon friday , the tenth day of this instant moneth of iuly . whereas vpon friday , the tenth day of this instant moneth , vpon the occasion of an arrest then made by the sheriffes officers of the citie of london , diuers insolent assaults and tumults were made and raised vpon the constables and watches of the citie , whereupon much bloodshed , and the barbarous murther of diuers of our louing subiects hath insued , and those insolencies so long continued , and at the last grew to such height , that there was an open and violent resistance and opposition made against our lord maior of london , and our sheriffes of our citie , assisted with some of the trained bands necessarily drawne forth to suppresse those outrages , which were committed rather in rebellious then in a riotous manner ;

the occasion of our long stay here , was first the expectation of our irish ships , next the raising money , which the proposition of newcastle drew as fast as it could advance , the failing of the ships had it not been supplyed by the reputation of the kings successe at land , had given us a dangerous blow here ; but that hath so supported our credit that the prince of orange hath since plaid his part , and advanced all those summes we were to expect , of which 20000.l . is sent towards you , 20000. l. to newcastle , and 20000.l . at least we bring with us , besides the great businesse which we expect this day a finall end of , which will advance 60000 l. more , in which we are ascertained of the prince of orange his utmost power ; such neverthelesse we apprehend the importance of the queenes being in england , that we had gone this last weeke , and expected the coming of thatafter , had not an unseasonable complement from your side stopt us , till this expresse sent to you : the fleet is now ready , and this weeke we certainly goe , if those counsels , or chances , that move to dilatory resolutions , move not more effectually then the certaine advantages of our expedition and dispatch from hence , all our affaires now done , and nothing more to be expected . that you may know upon what grounds we goe , and what securitie we expect there , and what advantage you in the south are to derive from it , you must know we have sent over 10000. foot armes , besides the garrison neere 2000 horse armes , and 20 peece of canon ; we bring over wagons and all accommodation to march so soon as we arrive , we carry very considerable officers from hence , and by the advice we receive from that side 8000 men are on foot already , 6 troops of horse , and the rest will not belong on raising after we come there . generall king is designed for lievtenant-generall , hath been with the queen , and will be suddenly there . from denmarke are likewise sent arms for 10000 foot , and 1500 horse , with a traine of artillery , and every thing proportionable , to the very drums and halbards . two good men of warre come their convoy , and in them an embassadour to his majesty , a person of great qualitie in denmarke , i hope it will be a generall care there to see him nobly treated , for the entertainment and neglect of the last was much complained of , and is so much insented by the king , that it had like to have frustrated all our expectations in that court , had not cochran very handsomely evaded it , he comes along with the embassadour , with whom if you encounter you will communicate some propositions of great importance , which in how much the fewer hands they are carried , will be so much the better liked by them you are to deale with , if my imployment in this affaire may fall upon your servant that writes to you , i know you will not be unmindfull of him . we have great apprehensions here by something intimated from my lord of holland , of a treaty further entred into then we have advertisement of , or can well approve ; we have confidently bel●eved your approaching london , ( if you had not made too long stay upon the way ) would have determined that matter , and what the difficulties are now of that we cannot yet understand , for if intelligence from hence came as freely to you as to us , the kings partie there are very considerable , and full of that expectation , and a day or two losse of time by the late example of hull , may be judged of what contrary consequences it may produce . we heare my lord of essex approaches london , but beleeve he will be so waited on by the kings horse , not to let him joyne with their forces there , being now so lame an army without horse or canon , as the relations you send hither makes him to be . we beleeve the kings horse likewise , now so great a body , that it will be as troublesome as unnecessary for them to subsist together , and thinke so many troops might be well spared as might be sent into kent , to countenance a partie to be set on foote there , which according to our intelligence here would undoubtedly be found very affectionate and considerable , so that by sparing 500 horse , you might possibly adde to your army 5000 foote , to be imployed upon the river on that side the towne . if the unhappy interception had not come of the last weeks letters , we had undoubtedly been with you on the other side in norfolk and essex , within three weekes , and in that condition having all the kingdome behinde us on every side , it will not be hard to judge whether should have been better able to subsist , they within the towne , or the kings army without ; admit my lord of essex were gotten in , or that the towne had not yeelded it selfe so soone as you had approached , you may yet certainly presume on this , that our being once on foote we shall be able to collect for you all the 400000 l. subsidies , universally throughout the kingdome , which will make the kings army subsist , and weare out theirs , besides which the money we bring ; what we expect from denmarke , and france , are all encouragements to make us expect no treaties to be admitted , but upon termes of great advantage and honour to his majesty , those you are best able to judge of upon the place . if the king have use of them , i am confident you may expect from france , ( so soone as you set footing in kent , and shall intimate you desire the same ) the three regiments of his majesties own subjects there imployed , under colonell hill , colonell fitz williams , and colonell beling : your letters directed to newcastle will direct our addresses to france , for i hope wee shall yet be there before you can returne any in answer to this . hague , novemb. 22. 1642. the manner how this aforesaid letter was intercepted and taken . on saterday morning the gentleman that brought this letter from holland came up to london in a gravesend-boat , intending to land at brainford , and therefore for the more expedition shot the bridge , which being perceived by one of the pinaces that lie on this side for the guard of the city and parliament , and being known to be a gravesend-boat , which alwayes land on the other side at billinsgate : they called to them to know their businesse ; but they not regarding their summons still posted away , whereupon the men in the ship made after them and hald them in , examined the gentleman , and having some suspition searcht him , and found this with some other letters about him ; whereupon they presently carried him up to the parliament , where after examination his letters were taken from him , and he committed to safe custody . this letter ( as is supposed ) was writ by collonell goring . by the maior . vvhereas certain letters from forrain parts and severall places of the kingdom have been intercepted , and brought unto the parliament , discovering the desperate designes and plots of papists and other ill affected , in collecting great sums of money and providing many thousands of men and arms , for the ruine of our religion and kingdom . for the preserving and securing wherof , there is great necessity of a present and speedy supply of money , that the army may suddenly advance , for preventing of the many outrages that the cavaleers daily commit in severall places of this kingdom at once ; & in regard the burthen hath hitherto lain upon the willing and well-affected persons ; the lords and commons assembled in parliament have passed an ordinance , that all such persons as hitherto have not contributed , or not proportionable to their estates , upon the propositions of parliament , for the safety of the kingdom , shall be assessed and compelled to contribute and pay according to their ability . and forasmuch as moneys cannot be advanced by vertue of that ordinance , to supply the urgent and pressing occasions of the army ; it is desired by a committee of the lords and commons , appointed by the parliament , for advancing of mon●ys , that a sum of 30000 l. might be raised by tuesday in the afternoon , and all such as shall lend any money for the present raising of the same , shall be repayed their moneys so lent out , of the first moneys that shall be collected upon the said ordinance : and for the better advancing of this necessary service , the ministers of every parish are requested , publickly to stir up their parishioners hereunto , and that the church wardens of every parish cause an assembly of the parishioners tomorrow after sermon , in the afternoon , that amongst them they raise a proportionable summe , and that upon munday next , at three of the clock in the afternoon the church-wardens appear at guild hall before the said committee , to give an account of what moneys they have raised . dated november 26 , 1642. isaac pennington major . finis . by the major. forasmuch as it is conceived and apprehended by the common-councell, that the city at the present is in great danger;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng company of woodmongers (london, england) -controversial literature -early works to 1800. carriages and carts -early works to 1800. wharves -england -london -early works to 1800. london (england) -history -17th century -early works to 1800. 2008-08 tcp assigned for keying and markup 2008-09 spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images 2008-11 john pas sampled and proofread 2008-11 john pas text and markup reviewed and edited 2009-02 pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion to the honorable assembly of the commons house of parliament , and to the committees , for grieuances of the same house . the humble petition of edward hopkins , william barwell , iohn bellamy , robert vilet , iohn walter , robert wright , and other wharfingers in and neere the cittie of london . whereas the petitioners and all others vsing wharfes for sale of fuell within and neere the cittie of london , haue time out of minde had the vse of a competent number of carts and carres as necessarily incident to their trade , to carry wood and cole for the necessary vse of his maiesties subiects in and about the said citie , vntill some of the woodmongers in an. 3. iac.

"published by authority." reproduction of original in the harvard university library. created by converting tcp files to tei p5 using tcp2tei.xsl, tei @ oxford. re-processed by university of nebraska-lincoln and northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. eebo-tcp is a partnership between the universities of michigan and oxford and the publisher proquest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by proquest via their early english books online (eebo) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). the general aim of eebo-tcp is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic english-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in eebo. eebo-tcp aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the text encoding initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). the eebo-tcp project was divided into two phases. the 25,363 texts created during phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 january 2015. anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. users should be aware of the process of creating the tcp texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. text selection was based on the new cambridge bibliography of english literature (ncbel). if an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in ncbel, then their works are eligible for inclusion. selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. in general, first editions of a works in english were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably latin and welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in oxford and michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet qa standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. after proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of tcp data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a tcp editor. the texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the tei in libraries guidelines. copies of the texts have been issued variously as sgml (tcp schema; ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng william -iii, -king of england, 1650-1702. great britain -history -william and mary, 1689-1702. london (england) -history -17th century. 2007-12 tcp assigned for keying and markup 2008-01 spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images 2008-02 emma (leeson) huber sampled and proofread 2008-08 spi global rekeyed and resubmitted 2008-12 john pas sampled and proofread 2008-12 john pas text and markup reviewed and edited 2009-02 pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion the address of the lord mayor , aldermen , and commons of the city of london in common-council assembled . presented to her majesty at whitehall , august 17. 1693. published by authority . to the queen 's most excellent majesty , we your majesties most dutiful and loyal subjects , the lord mayor , aldermen , and commons of the city of london , in common-council assembled , out of a deep sense of the infinite goodness of god to this nation , in the signal deliverance of his sacred majesty from those dangers to which he hath so lately , for our sakes , exposed his royal person , even to the admiration of his enemies , do heartily and vnfeignedly , in the first place , return to almighty god our most humble thanks ;

and whatever hath been of late of that kind , were without cause . i have the testimony of my own conscience ▪ that i have always had a great sence of my unfitness for such a trust ; and that my own ambition hath not had any share in the work of this day . but seeing the providence of god , with your good opinions , hath placed me in this station , i intend ( by his blessing ) to undergo it chearfully ; and endeavour to understand , and then to do my duty , as becomes an honest man , without favour , or affection , or regard to any private interest of my own. and i resolve , ( according to the best of my understanding , and with the advice of my worthy brethren the aldermen ) that the law shall be my rule ; the observation of which , next to our duties to god , i make no question will by his good providence , be a means to preserve us in our religion , and properties , protect me in doing my duty , and be grateful to you and every good man. there is one thing i would beg , that every one of you in your several stations , would consider the duty incumbent upon himself , by the wholsom laws , customs and usages of this city ; and answer to a good mind the discharge of the same ; lest , whilst we are under such great apprehensions of the loss of our good government and constitution by the attempts of our enemies , we become instruments of our own ruine , and bring that confusion upon our selves by a supine neglect , which otherwise ( i trust ) all the diligence of our enemies will never be able to accomplish . let it never be said of this famous city , ( the present envy of all her neighbours ) as once it was of old rome , ( then the envy of the whole world ) rome's destruction was from her self : but let it never be so said of london . rome indeed had many and powerful enemies abroad ; but , had she not divided within her self , and fallen into faction at home , those could not have hurt her. we cannot be ignorant how busie our common-adversaries , the church of rome , and her emissaries , are , in sowing seeds of dissention amongst us , in hopes of a plentiful harvest in our destructions : let us therefore , who intend to be protestants , as we tender our own preservation , be admonish'd to unite , and joyn together , as becomes men in the same common-danger to do ; i mean , in defence of his majesties royal person , and government ; the true protestant religion , our laws , our lives , our liberties , and properties ; and , this great metropolis , against all such endeavours , and damnable plots and contrivances , as have been , and ( i fear ) still are , in agitation against us ; and , let no diligence of the adversary prevail to make a breach amongst us ; nor no difference of opinion , amongst protestants , be so much as remembred , or once mention'd in this our time of extremity , when , no less then utter ruine is threatned to the whole protestant interest ; and which , nothing but a firm vnion amongst themselves , and gods providence , can , in human probability , prevent : and , if we thus joyn our hands , and vnite our hearts in prayer , to that god , who hath so miraculously preserved , and restored this city hitherto , notwithstanding the many attempts against it , we may reasonably assure our selves , he will , in his good time , work out a mighty deliverance for us ; which god of his mercy grant ; and , let all good protestants say , amen . the speech of sir james edwards , lord mayor ; at the election of sir robert clayton . gentlemen , i bless god for this opportunity , that i can see the face of my successor ; a person , from whom you may , and i do promise my self a supply , of what was deficient in me . i call god to witness , that i have endeavoured to serve you impartially ; for which , i do first return my hearty thanks to that good god ; and next , to my worthy brethren , who were alwayes so near me . now , i pray god to continue his blessings upon your persons , and families ; upon the governor , and government of this city ; particularly , upon his majesty , and his government ;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng anti-catholicism -england -london great britain -politics and government -revolution of 1688. london (england) -history -17th century. broadsides -england -17th century. 2007-09 tcp assigned for keying and markup 2007-11 aptara keyed and coded from proquest page images 2007-12 elspeth healey sampled and proofread 2007-12 elspeth healey text and markup reviewed and edited 2008-02 pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion an order of the lords spiritual and temporal , assembled at west minster , in the house of lords , december 22. 1688. present , lord archbishop of york . duke of norfolk . duke of somerset . duke of grafton . duke of ormonde . duke of beaufort . marquess of hallifax . earl of oxford . earl of shrewsbury . earl of kent . earl of bedford . earl of pembroke . earl of dorset . earl of northampton . earl of devonshire . earl of bolingbrooke . earl of manchester . earl of mulgrave . earl of rivers . earl of stamford . earl of winchelsea . earl of thanet . earl of scarsdale . earl of clarendon . earl of craven . earl of burlington . earl of sussex . earl of maclesfield . earl of radnor . earl of yarmouth . earl of berkeley . earl of nottingham . earl of rochester . earl of abington . lord visc . fauconberg . lord viscount mordaunt . lord viscount newport . lord viscount weymouth . lord viscount hatton . lord bishop of london . lord bishop of duresme . lord bp of winchester . lord bishop of st. asaph . lord bishop of ely. lord bishop of rochester . lord delawarr . lord grey of ruthen . lord eure. lord wharton . lord paget . lord north and grey . lord chandos . lord montague . lord grey of warke . lord maynard . lord howard of escrick . lord jermyn . lord vaughan carbery . lord culpeper . lord lucas . lord delamere . lord crew . lord lumley . lord carteret . lord ossulstone . lord godolphin . lord churchill . the lords spiritual and temporal assembled in this extraordinary conjuncture , considering the great mischiefs that have happened unto , and do still threaten this kingdom , by the evil designs and practices of the papists , in great numbers restoring unto , and abiding in the city of london , and places adjacent to the said city ;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng great britain -history -revolution of 1688. london (england) -history -17th century. 2007-12 tcp assigned for keying and markup 2008-01 spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images 2008-03 mona logarbo sampled and proofread 2008-03 mona logarbo text and markup reviewed and edited 2008-09 pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion guild hall london . december the 11th . 1688 . by the commissioners of lieutenancy for the said city . ordered , that sir robert clayton knt. sir william russel knt. sir basil firebrace knt. and charles duncomb esq be a committee from the said lieutenancy to attend his royal highness the prince of orange , and present to his highness the address agreed by the lieutenancy for that purpose : and that they begin their journey to morrow morning . by the commissioners command , geo. evans , cl. lieut. london . to his highness the prince of orange . the humble address of the lieutenancy of the city of london . may it please your highness , we can never sufficiently express the deep sence we have conceived and shall ever retain in our hearts , that your highness has exposed your person to so many dangers both by sea and land for the preservation of the protestant religion , and the laws and liberties of this kingdom , without which unparallel'd undertaking we must probably have suffered all the miseries that popery and slavery could have brought upon us . we have been greatly concerned that before this time we have not had any seasonable opportunity to give your highness and the world a real testimony that it has been our firm resolution to venture all that is dear to us to attain those glorious ends which your highness has proposed for restoring and setling these distracted nations . we therefore now unanimously present to your highness our just and due acknowledgments for that happy relief you have brought to us , and that we may not be wanting in this present conjuncture , we have put our selves into such a posture that ( by the blessing of god ) we may be capable to prevent all ill designs , and to preserve this city in peace and safety till your highnesses happy arrival . we therefore humbly desire that your highness will please to repair to this city with what convenient speed you can for the perfecting the great work which your highness has so happily begun to the general joy and satisfaction of us all. december the 17th . 1688. the said committee this day made report to the lieutenancy that they had presented the said address to the prince of orange , and that his highness received them very kindly . december the 17. 1688. by the lieutenancy . ordered , that the said order and address be forthwith printed . geo. evans . whereas against divers lawes, orders and provisions, great numbers of men and women and their children and servants doe daily on the weeke daies, all the day long, sit in the high-street of cheape, with multitudes of baskets, tubbs and other vessels of fruit, roots, hearbs, plants, flowers and other garden commodities to sell ... city of london (england). this text is an enriched version of the tcp digital transcription a49036 of text r39819 in the english short title catalog (wing l2864g). textual changes and metadata enrichments aim at making the text more computationally tractable, easier to read, and suitable for network-based collaborative curation by amateur and professional end users from many walks of life. the text has been tokenized and linguistically annotated with morphadorner. the annotation includes standard spellings that support the display of a text in a standardized format that preserves archaic forms ('loveth', 'seekest'). textual changes aim at restoring the text the author or stationer meant to publish. this text has not been fully proofread approx. 4 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 1 1-bit group-iv tiff page image. earlyprint project evanston,il, notre dame, in, st. louis, mo 2017 a49036 wing l2864g estc r39819 18504793 ocm 18504793 107909 this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons 0 1.0 universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by proquest via their early english books online (eebo) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). the general aim of eebo-tcp is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic english-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in eebo. eebo-tcp aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the text encoding initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). the eebo-tcp project was divided into two phases. the 25,363 texts created during phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 january 2015. anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. users should be aware of the process of creating the tcp texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. text selection was based on the new cambridge bibliography of english literature (ncbel). if an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in ncbel, then their works are eligible for inclusion. selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. in general, first editions of a works in english were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably latin and welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in oxford and michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet qa standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. after proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of tcp data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a tcp editor. the texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the tei in libraries guidelines. copies of the texts have been issued variously as sgml (tcp schema; ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng plague -england -london -prevention. london (england) -history -17th century. great

and againe published . whereas in the first yeare of his maiesties most happie reigne ouer this realme of england , an act was made for the charitable reliefe , and ordering of persons infected with the plague : whereby authoritie is giuen to iustices of peace , mayors , bayliffes , and other head-officers , to appoint within their seuerall limits examiners , searchers , watchmen , keepers , and buryers for the persons and places infected , and to minister vnto them oathes for performance of their offices . and the same statute also authorizeth the giuing of other directions , as vnto them for the present necessity , shall seeme good in their discretions . it is therefore vpon speciall consideration thought very expedient , for the preuenting and auoyding of the infection of sicknesse ( if it shall please almighty god ) which is now dangerously dispersed into many places within the citie and suburbs of the same : that these officers following bee appointed , and these orders hereafter prescribed be duly obserued . first , it is thought requisite , and so ordered , that in euery parish there be one , two , or more persons of good sort and credite , chosen and appointed by the alderman his deputie , and common councell of euery ward , and by the iustices of peace in the counties , by the name of examiners , to continue in that office the space of two moneths at least : and if any fit persons so appointed as aforesaid , shall refuse to vndertake the same , the said parties so refusing , to bee committed to prison vntill they shall conforme themselues accordingly . that these examiners be sworne by the alderman , or by one of the iustices of the county , to enquire and learne from time to time , what houses in euery parish bee visited , and what persons be sicke , and of what diseases , as neere as they can informe themselues , and vpon doubt in that case , to command restraint of accesse , vntil it appeare what the disease shall proue : and if they find any persons sicke of the infection , to giue order to the constable , that the house be shut vp : and if the constable shall be found remisse or negligent , to giue present notice thereof to the alderman , or the iustice of peace respectiuely . that to euery infected house there be appointed two watchmen , one for the day , and the other for the night : and that these watchmen haue a speciall care that no person goe in or out of such infected houses , whereof they haue the charge , vpon paine of seuere punishment . and the said watchmen to doe such further offices as the sicke house shall neede and require : and if the watchman be sent vpon any busines , to locke vp the house , and take the key with him : and the watchman by day to attend vntill ten of the clocke at night : and the watchman by night till sixe in the morning . that there be a speciall care , to appoint women searchers in euery parish , such as are of honest reputation , and of the best sort as can bee got in this kinde : and these to be sworne to make due search and true report , to the vtmost of their knowledge , whether the persons , whose bodies they are appointed to search , do dye of the infection , or of what other diseases as neere as they can . and for their better assistance herein , forasmuch as there hath bene heretofore great abuse in misreporting the disease , to the further spreading of the infection : it is therefore ordered , that there be chosen and appointed three able and discreet surgeons , besides those three that do already belong to the pest-house : amongst whom , the city and liberties to bee quartered , as the places lye most apt and conuenient : and euery of these sixe to haue one quarter for his limit : and the said chirurgeons in euery of their limits , to ioyne with the serchers , for the view of the body , to the end there may be a true report made of the disease . and further , that the said chirurgeons shall visite and search such sicke persons as shall eyther send for them , or be named and directed vnto them by the examiners of euery parish , and informe themselues of the disease of the said parties . and forasmuch as the saide chirurgeons are to be sequestred from all other cures , and kept onely to this disease of the infection : it is ordred , that euery of the saide chirurgeons , shall haue twelue pence a body searched by them , to be paide out of the goods of the party searched , if he be able , or otherwise by the parish . orders concerning infected houses , and persons sicke of the plague . the master of euery house , as soone as any one in his house complayneth , eyther of botch , of purple , or swelling in any part of his body , or falleth otherwise dangerously sicke , without apparant cause of some other disease , shall giue knowledge thereof to the examiner of health within two houres after the said signe shall appeare . as soone as any man shall be found by this examiner , chirurgeon or searcher , to be sick of the plague , he shall the same night be sequestred in the same house . and in case he bee so sequestred , then though he afterwards die not , the house wherein he sickned , shall bee shut vp for a moneth , after the vse of due preseruatiues taken by the rest . for sequestration of the goods and stuffe of the infected , their bedding , and apparell and hangings of chambers , must bee well ayred with fire , and such perfumes as are requisite within the infected house before they be taken againe to vse , this to be done by the appointment of the examiner . if any person shall haue visited any man , knowne to be infected of the plague , or entred willingly into any knowne infected house , being not allowed : the house wherein hee inhabiteth shall be shut vp for certaine dayes , by the examiners direction . item , that none be remoued out of the house where he falleth sicke of the infection , into any other house in the city , burrough , or county ( except it be to the pesthouse or a tent ,

made , that the attendance and charge about the said visited persons , shall be obserued & charged in all the particularities before expressed , without any cost of that parish , to which any such remoue shall happen to be made , and this remoue to be done by night . and it shall be lawfull to any person that hath two houses , to remoue either his sound or his infected people , to his spare house at his choice , so as if he send away first his sound , he may not after send thither his sicke ; nor againe vnto the sicke the sound : and that the same which he sendeth be for one weeke at the least shut vp , and secluded from company for feare of some infection , at the first not appearing . that the buriall of the dead by this visitation bee at most conuenient houres , alwayes eyther before sun-rising , or after sunne-setting , with the priuity of the churchwardens or constables , and not otherwise ; and that no neighbours nor friends be suffered to accompany the coarse to church , or to enter the house visited , vppon paine of hauing his house shut vp or be imprisoned . that no clothes , stuffe , bedding or garments be suffered to be carried or conuayed out of any infected houses , and that the cryers and carriers abroad of bedding or old apparrell , to be sold or pawned , be vtterly prohibited and restrained : and no brokers of bedding , or old apparrell be permitted to make any outward show , or hang forth on their stals , shop-boards , or windowes , towards any street , lane , common way or passage , any olde bedding or apparrell to be sold , vpon paine of imprisonment : and if any broaker or other person shall buy any bedding , apparrell , or other stuffe out of any infected house , within two moneths after the infection hath beene there , his house shall be shut vp as infected , and so shall continue shut vp twenty dayes at the least . if any person visited doe fortune , by negligent looking vnto , or by any other meanes , to come or bee conueyed from a place infected , to any other place , the parish from whence such party hath come , or bene conueyed , vpon notice thereof giuen , shal at their charge cause the said party so visited and escaped , to be carried and brought backe againe by night , and the parties in this case offending , to be punished at the direction of the alderman of the ward , and the iustices of the peace

but the coachmen that were oppress'd by the said murrey's project , having obtained the then attorny general 's opinion , that the said act was against law , staid several suits , and cast the said murrey , or those imployed to put the said act in execution . 2. that then the said murrey and his accomplices did obtain an order from sir edmand villers , then knight-marshal for the liberty of the verge ( viz. westminster , whitehall , and st. james's ) to suppress the hundred hackney coachmen from plying with their coaches within the liberties aforesaid , and did with money hire men and keep them from their said imployment , until one thomas cadman did send his servant with his hackney-coach to ply within the said verge , after having suffered nine weeks restraint , by means of the aforesaid order , resolving to see by what right they held their power ; whereupon the knight-marshals men immediately seized upon the said cadman's servant , and kept him prisoner at white-hall for above six houres , until he gave a note under his hand of forty pounds penalty to appear before the said sir edward villers the next day by nine of the clock : and the said thomas cadman appeared accordingly on his said servants behalf before his honour , and made him sensible of the oppression , who was thereupon pleased to take it off , and never put it upon the said coachmen after . 3. that the said murrey and his accomplices afterwards sollicited his honour capt. cheek , then governour of the tower of london , to keep the said one hundred hackney coachmen from taking up any fare upon the bulwark wharfe before the tower gate , under the penalty of five shillings for each coach so offending , so that many poor men suffered thereby , until the said thomas cadman petitioned his honour , and made him sensible of the abuse put upon them by the aforesaid murrey and his accomplices , so that now the said robert murrey , having made what mony he could of the said 400 hackney coachmen , came to those he had formerly ruined , and by his deluding speeches prevailed upon some poor hackney-coachmen and others not qualified for that imploy , to assist him with money to sollicit the then popish commissioners to licence 600 hackney-coachmen , and to pay more money in one year for working their coaches in the streets , to the commissioners and the said murray and his accomplices than all the said hackney-coachmen were worth , and if the rich men should pay the poor mens debts ; the commission was sealed and security given in to the lords of the treasury in november , 1688. ( as the said coachmen are credably inform'd , ) and if it had not pleased almighty god to send his highness , the then prince of orange , to their relief at that very time , the said hackney-coachmen had been all ruined and undone by the unjust and wicked contrivance aforesaid . 4. that when the said murrey saw the late king james was gone out of this kingdom , and his popish commission of no effect , did with the assistance of a friend or two in london , for his own by-ends since christmas last , get the act of common-councel revived . and the said coachmen being informed , that the said murrey , and several others , are endeavouring , for their own private interest , and to the prejudice of your petitioners , to procure one or more bills , of their own framing , to be brought into this honourable house , for the regulating of hackney-coaches . the said coachmen therefore humbly desire that the act made for regulating of hackney-coaches in the 13th and 14th years of king charles ii. may be vived , with the addition only of one hundred coaches . and that they may be settled at the same yearly rent that was limitted by the said act. wherefore we most humbly beseech your honours to take the premises into your serious consideration ; and we and all the rest , as in duty bound , shall ever pray , &c. thomas cadman , thomas whittle , peter welch , john hurt , john sheldarick , george loverick , john beaver , john hugins . by the major forasmuch as it is conceived and apprehended by the common-councell, that the city at the present is in great danger ... city of london (england). this text is an enriched version of the tcp digital transcription a49055 of text r39656 in the english short title catalog (wing l2882d). textual changes and metadata enrichments aim at making the text more computationally tractable, easier to read, and suitable for network-based collaborative curation by amateur and professional end users from many walks of life. the text has been tokenized and linguistically annotated with morphadorner. the annotation includes standard spellings that support the display of a text in a standardized format that preserves archaic forms ('loveth', 'seekest'). textual changes aim at restoring the text the author or stationer meant to publish. this text has not been fully proofread approx. 2 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 1 1-bit group-iv tiff page image. earlyprint project evanston,il, notre dame, in, st. louis, mo 2017 a49055 wing l2882d estc r39656 18461003 ocm 18461003 107740 this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons 0 1.0 universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

to shew that i am not quite killed , i shall venture to try the length of his new whetted animadverting weapon , and give him a few home thrusts in exchange for his intended ones . because i find him a gentle , and easie foe , i shall advise him like a friend , frange miser calamos , vigilataque praelia dele . your miserable scribling pray give o're , with such polemicks vex the world no more . nor censure every thing as impertinent , vnintelligible , and obscure , that 's above the level of your understanding . for proof of his great understanding he taxes three paragraphs of mine with obscurity , and that darkness which is in his own mind . 1. the first is , that the city of london being charged with a tallage , their common-council dispute whether it were tallagium , or auxilium , which is there meant of voluntary aid , not due upon the account of their houses being of of the kings demeasn , though indeed 't is then shewn that they had several times before been talliated . quid est quod in hâc causâ defensionis egeat ? i must needs say i take all this to be so plain that i know not which part i ought to add any light to . is the difference between tallage and a voluntary aid obscure ? or is it not well known that the kings demeasns only were talliated , and that the city having been talliated , 't was in vain to urge that they paid only voluntary aid ? but perhaps in the two next the obscurity may lye , and yet , by the doctors art of multiplying faults , they may make three obscure paragraphs . 2. this explains that part of the charter , simili modo fiat de civitate london , that is as in all cases besides those excepted escuage or tallage should not be raised but by a common-council of the kingdom , that is of all the persons concerned to pay ; so for the city of london , unless the aid was ordered in common-council , wherein they and all other tenants in chief were assembled , none should be laid upon any citizens but by the consent of their own common-council , and if the ordinance were only in general terms , that all the kings demeasns should be talliated , the proportions payable there should be agreed by the common-council of the city . this consists of two parts ; first , that where there was not the consent of a common-council of all the tenents in chief , the citizens might of themselves give a tallage , which is not in dispute between us , but is with admirable ingenuity turned into an assertion , that cities and burroughs were not taxed or assessed towards any payments , but by their own common-councils , ( which is not to be inferred from the priviledge of one city , suppose it were so for london , nor can be gathered from my words , which yield that even london might be taxt or assessed by the consent of the common-council of tenents ) or that they , as part of the common-council of the land taxed themselves , which is true ; but no man of sense can understand that to be the meaning of this part of the obscure paragraph , but that something farther was intended . 2. the second i need not explain since he understands , for all his affected ignorance , that after a tax was imposed upon the city of london the inhabitants ( or those who composed its council ) met to proportion it , so as it might be paid with as much equality as could be . this he yields to my hand , that they always did if they would , it seems convinced by that record , which shews that when the council of the city would not agree to the sum demanded by the king , 't was de voluntate omnium baronum nostrorum civitatis ejusdem , that the king talliated his tenents per se , or per capita , so much upon every head . 3. this clears the last paragraph which i need not recite , it having no meaning differing from the record , but if my record give not sufficient light and strength he , i thank him , according to his usual curtesie cites one clear enough . et cum praedicti cives noluissent intrare finem praedict ' trium mille marcarum praedicti thes . & alii voluerint assidere illud tal. per capita . so that till the citizens refused the the sum in gross , the king did not talliate each man in particular . but i am told that this is nothing to my purpose , 't is strange that he who blames me in other places for not quoting more than is for my purpose , when nothing behind makes against me , should now tax me for not skipping over any part of that clause which 't was needful to take and explain entire . to clear up his understanding if possible , though i thought to have left this task , i will obviate an objection which such as our answerer may make , that 't is obscure how the record of the common-council of london's concerning its self about the charge laid upon the city should explain that part of the charter which sayes simili modo fiat de civitate london , but surely practice is a good interpreter of a law , and there is this further evidence that here is provision for the power of the common-council of the city , because that holding in capite , and being mentioned distinct from all the other tenents there named in general , it must be for something else , besides that for which 't is joyned with the other tenents . but excedimus tenebris in crepusculum , from this obscurity and darkness to be felt by the doctors groaping hand , we come to broad day light . when in the 39th . h. 3. provisum fuit per consilium regis apud merton , that he should talliate his demeasns , though this was after king john 's charter , which was intended to restrain the king from levying publick taxes without publick consent ; yet it seems to be plain by the record that the king by the advice of his privy council taxed the city of london , even without the consent of the common council of his immediate tenents , whom he makes the common-council for all manner of aid and escuage . but it may be said , a tallage was no publick tax , though the tax here spoke of , is made no more publick than the consent required to charge it ; which consent according to him , was from immediate tenents only , so that tallage might be a publick tax as well as any other . and to be sure scutagium concerning the kings tenents only , and the cases in which the king reserv'd to himself power of taxing without publick consent in his sense , relating only to them ; the tax because of tenure must be provided for , as well as other , if any other were there meant by auxilium , vel scutagium . nay , he owns expresly , that according to the law in king john 's charter , london and other cities and burghs were to be assessed and taxed by the common-council of the kingdom . and he makes a reason of that provision , to be the usage in the time of h. 2. for the king to talliate , or tax them without such a council . the doctor has doubtless the most particular convincing way of reasoning of any man , he says that law in king john 's charter intended to restrain the king from levying of publick taxes without publick consent : and the reason of this artice in king john 's charter is argument sufficient to prove it : for , mark the weighty reason , h. the third after this was granted , and edw. 1st . taxed their demeasns through england , though not the whole kingdom by advice and consent of their privy-councils only until the stat ' de tallagio non concedendo , that is ( as tallage is confest to be , a publick tax ) because some of king john's successors tax't their demeasns without publick consent . therefore 't was provided in king john's time , by way of prophesy , that no publick tax , aid , or escuage should be raised without publick consent . so that what was done after , was a moral cause , or occasion of what preceded . 't will be said , that the thing that the doctor went to prove was , that the common-council mentioned in the charter was the great and common-council of the kingdom , to all intents and purposes . not that the king was restrained from levying a publick tax without the consent of the great council . but surely when he goes to give the reason why the charter must be taken in such a sense , we are to expect the proof of that , not of something else , quitting the thing to be proved . if i can understand his dark meaning , he was proving that nullum scutagium , &c. intended to restrain the king from levying publick taxes without publick consent . that is ( to explain what he very obscurely drives at , ) the restraint was only from taxing the whole kingdom ; not from taxing his tenants in chief . and the reason of this article , viz. as taken in this sense , is , that several times after this charter was granted , hen. 3. and edw. 1. taxed their demeasns through england , though not the whole kingdom , by advice and consent of their privy-councils only , until the statute de tallagio non concedendo was made 34 e. 1. and both richard the first and king john had taxed the whole kingdom without common assent , before the grant of magna charta . and when he has made good the premises in this argument for the meaning of the article , which will be ad graecas calendas , then , he may conclude that this article intended to restrain the king , only from levying of publick taxes without publick consent , not to provide about escuage , or tallage , which none but his immediate tenants were liable to . and from hence when prov'd , we might with some more colour and coherence raise the consequence that the common-council mentioned in king john's charter was the great and common-council of the kingdom to all intents and purposes . but how that should appear from the mention of aid , and escuage only , will be a question . 't is by him observ'd of richard the first , accepit de unaquâque carucatâ terrae totius angliae sex solidos . but what proof is there from the word accepit , or the collecting of a tax , ex praecepto regis , that he took it without publick consent ? i am sure bracton , as good an author as the historian whom he vouches , tells us carvage , and such this was , could never be raised but consensu communi totius regni . but if the king in his privy-council might tax the kingdom its self , till the making king john's charter , and was restrain'd then , i wonder our reverend author has made the constitution of the house of lords , that is according to him , the whole great council , to have been no earlier than the 49th . of h. 3. and unless such a council as is mentioned in that charter were constituted before , how comes it to pass that the clerus and populus , which were of the kings council for making laws , and giving taxes , were not till 17. jo. confin'd to such of them as were of the privy-council , as well as communitas populi , after magnates was meant of such people as were magnates , and milites , & liberè tenentes , besides barons , were the tenents in capite , who by their acts oblig'd all that held of them by knights service : that is all the milites , but not the liberè tenentes . we are taught that in the 6 of king john tenents in capite only , provided that every nine knights should find a tenth for the defence of the kingdom , and that they who were to find them were all tenents in military service . though the record shews , that besides the miles vel serviens , alius terram tenens was charged with this . and he vouchsafes not to take notice of my argument , that every knight being bound by his tenure to find a man ; if this had not extended to all that had to the value of a knights fee , though not held by knights service , it would have been an abatement of the services due , and a weakning of the kingdom . besides , admit that tenents in capite only laid this charge , and only tenents by knights service were bound by it , here is such a commune concilium of tenents , as i say king john's charter exhibits , and no charge laid by them upon others . whereas he should have prov'd that they did oblige others without their consent . but suppose tenents only were charged , why might not the charge have been laid by omnes fideles in my sense , as we find omnes de regno , taxing knights fees only ? the doctor in his margin gives us an admirable nota , that liberi were tenants in military service , or gentlemen , rustici socagers , possessors or freeholders in socages only , which is as much as to say that freeholders were not freemen , unless they held in military service , and yet a tenement , or possession neither added to , or detracted from the person of any man , if free or bond before . but surely mr. professor has some colourable proof for his remark here : for that let others judge . hoveden acquaints us with the manner of collecting a carvage in the ninth of richard the first , which was , that in every county the king appointed one clergyman , and one knight , who with the sheriff of the county to which they were sent , and lawful knights chose , and sworn to execute this business faithfully , fecerunt venire coram se senescalos baronum istius comitatûs , & de qualibet villâ dominum vel ballivum villae & prepositum cum quatuor legalibus hominibus villae , sivae liberis , sive rusticis , who were to swear how many plough lands there were in every town . if here liberi , and rustici are not meant for two denominations of the same sort of men , that is ordinary freeholders , i will leave him to fight it out with hoveden , since he himself is directly contrary to the old munk ; hoveden shews us that these socagers were legales homines , such as chose juries , and serv'd on juries themselves , &c. but our new light is positive that tenants in military service were the only freemen , and the only legal men . thus i have done right to his omissions , passing by nothing which has not received justice before , and shall add some confirmations of what i have taken leave to assert in other places . i had affirmed for one reason why the doctor could have small assistance from domesday book , that the titles whereby men enjoy'd their estates are seldom mentioned there . and if i find by record a whole county in the doctors sense , that is all the lands of the county enjoy'd by descent from before the imaginary conquest ; what will he say in justification of his whymsies upon the conquest , and the authority he would fetch for it from domesday book ? he may please to consider , and give a categorical answer to this memorable record . in placito inter regem & priorem ecclesiae de coventre de annua pensione uni clericorum regis , ratione nove creationis ejusdem prioris quousque , &c. prior venit & defendit vim & injuriam & quicquid est in contemptu domini regis , &c. non cognovit ecclesiam suam beatae mariae de coventre fore ecclesiam cathedralem nec ipsum priorem tenere aliquid de domino rege per baroniam prout pro domino rege in narratione sua proponitur . et dicit quod tenet prioratum praedictum ex fundatione cujusdam leofrici quondam comitis cestriae qui prioratum praedictum fundavit tempore sancti edwardi dudum regis angliae progenitoris domini regis nunc per cantam suam in haec verba . anno dominice incarnationis 1043. ego leofricus comes cestriae consilio & assensu regis qui literas suas infrascriptas sub sigillo misit & testimonio aliorum religiosorum virorum tam laicorum quam clericorum ecclesiam coventre dedicari feci , in honore dei & ecclesiae sanctae mariae genitricis ejus , & sancti petri apostoli & sancte osburge virginis , & omnium sanctorum ; has igitur viginti quatuor villas eidem ecclesiae attribui , ad servitium dei & ad victum & vestitum abbatis & monachorum in eodem loco deo servientium , videlicet honiton newenham chaldeleshunt ichenton vlston soucham grenesburgh burthenburgh mersten juxta avonam hardewick wasperton creastorton sotham rugton dimidium sowe merston in gloucestriae provincia salewarpe in wigorniensi eton juxta amnem qui dicitur dee in cestriae provincia keldesbye & windwyk in hamptoniensi provincia borbach barewell scrapstofte pakinton & potteres merston in leycestrensi provincia . has autem terras dedi huic monasterio cum soca saca cum telonio & theme cum libertatibus & omnibus consuetudinibus vbique sicut a rege edwardo melius unquam tenui . cum hiis omnibus rex edwardus & ego libertates huic monasterio dedimus , ita ut abbas ejusdem loci soli regi angliae sit subjectus . ibidem recitatur charta ejusdem regis edwardi quas donationes & concessiones diversi alii reges confirmaverunt & dicit quod postea per processum temporis nomen abbatiae praedictae divertebatur in nomen prioratus , eo quod leofwinus ad tunc ibidem creatus fuit in episcopum cestriae & ordinavit per assensum monachorum ibidem quod abbatia praedicta ex tunc foret prioratus & quod superiores ejusdem ecclesiae forent priores successive in perpetuum , & dicit quod de ipso leofrico , quia obiit sine herede de corpore suo descendente advocatio ecclesie predicte tempore willielm ' conquest ' angliae cuidam hugoni comiti cestriae ut consanguineo & heredi ipsius leofrici , viz. filio erminelde sororis ejusdem leofrici & de ipso hugone cuidam ricardo ut filio & heredi & de ipso ricardo cuidam ranulpho ut consanguineo & heredi , viz. filio matildis sororis praedicti hugonis & de ipso ranulpho cuidam ranulpho ut filio & heredi & de ipso ranulpho filio ranulphi quia obiit sine herede de corpore suo descendente advocatio praedicta simul cum comitatu cestre & huntingdon & aliis diversis castris maneriis terris & tenementis cum pertinentis in anglia & wallia quibusdam matildae mabilliae ceciliae & margeriae ut sororibus & heredibus predicti ranulphi inter quas propertia facta fuit de predictis comitatibus advocationibus & castris maneriis terris & tenementis cum pertinentiis supradictis . et predicta advocatio simul cum toto predicto comitatu cestriae cum pertinentiis allocata fuit predicte matilde pro proparte sua in allocationem diversorum aliorum castrorum maneriorum terrarum & tenementorum cum pertinentiis praedictis mabilliae ceciliae & margeriae seperatim allocatorum & de ipsa matilda descendebant predicta advocatio simul cum praedicto comitatu cestriae cum pertinentiis post propertiam predictam cuidam johanni scot ut filio & heredi praedictae matildae qui quidem johannes scot advocationem praedictam simul cum praedicto comitatu cestriae cum pertinentiis dedit henrico quondam regi angliae filio regis johannis & heredibus suis in perpetuum , &c. praedictus prior sine die . this was a judgment upon solemn debate and tryal , and it cannot be believed but the judges , and kings council so many hundred years ago , knew as much of the right of the conquest as our doctor can discover . 't will be said notwithstanding this record , that hugh had the confirmation of his kinsman the conqueror . admit he had , he being his kinsman would either thereby wheedle others in to the like acknowledgment of williams power ; or else having the government of the county , would do this in complement to the supream governour . but that such confirmation as to the lands he had there , and all appendants or appurtenances to them was wholly neeedless , appears in that the title is laid only in descent , nor does it in the least appear that william either granted or confirm'd more than the comitatus , government , or jurisdiction of it , or that more than that was held by the sword , which the doctor makes tenure in capite . let him shew how , by what manner of tenure his land was held . not being aware that so great an author as the doctor would have condemn'd for precarious , all that i think i have prov'd from the records and histories which i cite for the foundation of my former essay , viz. that till the 48. and 49th . h. 3. all proprietors of land came to the great council without exclusion . i had asserted that the probi homines , or bonae conversationis , came to the great councils ( which in common intendment is meant of coming as members ) in their own persons , and when they agreed to it , which was no abridgment of their personal right , they came by representation , and election , and every one was there himself virtually by his deputy , but they often met in vast bodies , and in capacious places , both in the saxon times , and after william the first obtained the imperial crown . ( 1. ) if you 'l believe the chair all this is precariously said , without foundation or authority ; however 't is granted that i seem to back it with an instance , where i say , the whole body of proprietors were assembled at runemede between stanes and windsor , at the passing of king john's charter . the doctor refers us to p. 106. and 107. of his pretended answer to mr. petyt , to see what this assembly was , and of whom it consisted ; where he proves my assertion , being all that he there shews is , that there was not time for writs to issue to chuse any representatives of the commons , but not a word offer'd against their being there in their own persons , having been got together expecting the kings answer to their demands , who appointed a meeting at runemede . the record saith there were comites , & barones , & liberi homines totius regni , or according to that expounder of more fallible record ma. paris , there were the magnates , which must there be meant of the nobilitas major , ( unless you take them for the kings friends only , as the great men of the kingdom elsewhere ) these magnates had drawn to their side , and to that treaty , vniversam fere totius regni nobilitatem , and this nobility was so numerous , that they made a vast army , exercitum inestimabilem confecerunt , and the records not only shew that such as were but liberi homines were there , and parties to the agreement being inter regem , comites , & barones & liberos homines , but the body of the charter shews that tenents by other free tenures , besides knights service were interested in it . besides this , the frequent meetings in so wide a place as runenede call'd pratum concilii , as i observed in the same page , is a strong argument that vast bodies compos'd the great councils in those days , and why tenents in free socage were not members , as well as such as held of subjects by knights service i see no reason , but wait for the doctors ; in the mean while i shall present him with some other authorities which shew that my assertion was not precarious . ( 2. ) if in the 38th . of h. 3. the commons , or probi homines were members of the great council by representatives of their own choice , and degree , there being besides all the tenents in capite two chose for every county , vice omnium & singulorum , and yet such came in their own persons both before , and after the making of king john's charter , since which till the 48th . or 49th . of h. 3. no alteration in the way , or right of coming is supposed ; then it follows that representations were brought in when the commons ( who might have come in their own persons ) agree to it , and there being of the councils before the norman times and then , barones & populus , 't is not to be doubted but that they came in their persons if they would , both in the saxon , and norman times , especially since william the first did but confirm the law of the confessor concerning the power of the great council , in words that shew'd that all the members were in those ages stiled peers , such as might come in person , and that inferior proprietors were members , the law of the great folcmote then received proves beyond all dispute . 3. if besides barones , and milites , we find libere tenentes , or fideles in the account of great councils before 49 h. 3. we are to suppose , even without consideration of the capacious places of their assembly , and the multitudes there , that such proprietors of land as would , came personally , till a law or common practice to the contrary be shewn , it being according to their natural right , and the natural import of the words ; besides the doctor does not allow of representations , except the tenents in capite who came without election , were representatives of the rest . 4. if king john's charter does not exhibit the full form of our english great , and most general councils in those days , but , by continuing the rights of every particular place , leaves room for proprietors of land to have been members , as well as tenents in capite , then the libere tenentes , which many records before the supposed change in the time of h. 3. mention as members of the great councils , were not tenents in capite . and as tenents in capite came in their own persons for matters concerning their tenures ; so , unless the contrary can be shewn , we are to believe that the libere tenentes , not holding in capite , came in like manner , especially if we consider how mean were some of the majores barones , to whom special writs were to be directed , as he that held part of the barony of mulgrave , per servitium millesimae ducentesimae partis baroniae . nay i find norman darcy , who indeed held several parcels of the mannor of darcy , which seem to be by several purchases , amongst other shares holding centessimam partem centessimae sexagessimae partis baroniae . the hundreth part of the hundred , and sixtieth part of the barony , and yet that he who had only so much was baro major appears , in that the common law exempted him from being of a common jury as holding part of a barony . besides the doctor yields that more than such as are expresly mention'd in the contested clause , tenents in military service of king john's charter , viz. of tenents in capite were members of the great councils , ( which he does not always confine to the great tenents ) and some of these were as inconsiderable , and as unfit for counsellors as the generality of the libere tenentes ; for though he in his sixteen years search , could find no less a part of a knights fee , than a twentieth , yet in the last recited record he may meet with the sixtieth part of one knights fee in the mannor of norton . 5. being all that were members of the great councils in those times of which our dispute is , were nobles , in which the doctor and i agree , and the nobles came in their own persons , the libere tenentes , part of the nobility were personally present . indeed corporations holding in capite might well come by representation , being they were but as one noble , and one tenent , and would have been an unweildy body to move to council united as their interest was . ( 6. ) king john's resignation was void , because 't was without the consent of the commons , sanz leur assent , and to say that this is without the assent of a general council , colloquium , or parliament , in those times when it was done ; unless he yield the same sort or degree of men to have been members of the great councils formerly as then , does not take in the full meaning , but is to say nothing , being the commons manifestly assert their right , as when they declared that they had ever been a member of parliament , and as well assenters as petitioners . and what force does it bring to the doctors assertion , that the commons answer in the same form of speech conceiv'd by the barons ? which he thinks worthy of great letters , is that an argument that the commons did not think that they ought to have been parties ? he himself grants that king john resigned before them that came upon a military summons , that is ( as all who ought to come were concluded by them that came ) before all his barons ; wherefore nothing wanted to the confirmation , but the consent of the commons . and if the commons were then an essential part of the great council they might come in person , unless the change in 49 h. 3. can be shewn to have been any otherwise than in the bringing in a representation of them . ( 7. ) by the charter of h. 1. for the king 's dominica necessaria , or de arduis regni , all the counties and hundreds , that is the freeholders , the suitors at those courts were to be summon'd to the great council , as it had been in the time of the confessor , when there repaired to the great folcmote , or general council held once a year , all the peers , knights , and freemen , at least freeholders of the kingdom . ( 8. ) for demonstration that libere tenentes came to the great councils in their own persons , and as members ; king john before the passing of his charter , writes to the milites , & fideles , ( the last of which takes in all the libere tenentes ) and tells them that if it might have been done he would have sent letters to every one of them ; wherefore these members whose right is here acknowledged were single , individual persons ; for they could not have been summoned to come by representation in the case of such particular writs , or letters , unless the representation were setled before the summons , which is not to be supposed . these arguments all but the last , which the doctor has supplied me with , arise out of my former treatise , and i take it that this which the doctor has occasioned , will yield a few more without pressing . ( 9. ) since william the first was no conqueror , it follows that the great folcmote , or general council in the saxon times , where to be sure all proprietors of land were to be members , could not have been turn'd into an assembly of the kings tenents upon the old legal title , ( and without a conquest there was no other . ) and as there must have been a vast number of the proprietors whom the kings immediate tenents could not oblige ; so they must have been members of those councils which laid any general charge , and that with the same priviledges the tenents in capite , who came in person , had . ( 10. ) though demonstration it self will not satisfie unreasonable men , yet not to mention more i shall urge the authority of the legier book of ely before cited , ( the great antiquity of the hand writing of which is beyond all exception ) to persuade the doctor that my notion is far from being precarious ; since that m. s. shews that king stephen consulted about the state of the kingdom , not only with the bishops , abbots , monks , and inferior clergy , but with the plebs , and they in an infinite number , concilio adunato cleri & populi , episcoporum , atque abbatum , monachorum , & clericorum , plebisque infinitae multitudinis , &c. de statu regni cum illis tractavit . this single instance is sufficient to prove that the primates , primores , proceres , magnates , and nobiles , were not the constituent parts of great councils in the reigns of w. the 1st . h. 1st . king stephen , h. 2. r. 1st . according to his restrictive and limited understanding and exposition of these words and phrases , but that the clerus and populus ( the general words which often comprehend all the members ) signifie as well as great men , the common freeholders , as at this day ; nor need i examine his book any farther : but i hope the doctor , a man of that known integrity , as his excellent book expresses him to be , will now make good his promise to be of my opinion , when i should evince that common freeholders had this great priviledge . ( 11. ) the lords right of answering for their tenents being founded in the imaginary feudal right , which is made to extend only to tenents by knights service , the socagers , being free from that law , could not be charged without their own consent , and that given by word of their own mouths , if they pleased . ( 12. ) the authority cited by mr. cambden , and approved of by our author as well as by me , shews that the only change in the great council was in leaving out of the special summons what earls and barons the king pleased but the right of all other barons ▪ as singular persons , to share in the legislature was preserv'd by the alia illa brevia , by which the representatives for the counties came , and being all the members of the great councils , but citizens and burgesses , or all such barons as aforesaid , came before the change in their own persons , and no new kind of members were then created , and yet there was a substantial alteration , a new government fram'd and set up , this alteration must consist in the commons , or barones minores , their being put to representatives when before they came personally . ( 13. ) i could bring many arguments from the doctor , as , besides others , that the vniversitas militiae , or qui militare servitium debebant , that is as record explains , ma. paris , the fideles besides milites were members of parliament , but i may spare farther proof till he gives me fresh occasion . ( 14. ) and possibly then amongst his other marvellous discoveries , i may have time to animadvert a little more largely upon his fancy , that the suitors in the county court were all tenents in military service , except barons , both in the saxon and norman times ; by the way you must understand that the barons were not tenents in military service , though they held in capite by knights service . and that william the the first made no alteration of the government ; for tenents by military service , were the only legal men , and the only members of the great council before . but as tenents in capite , and their tenents in military service were of the great councils in person , all the suitors at the county court , who were according to the charter of h. 1. qui liberas habent terras , in each county respectively , were there in person as members . though not relating to the foundation of my essay , according to him , who makes the question about the conquest not directly to reach the controversy between us , i may make a little sport with his arguing that william 1st . gave whole counties to his followers , under the word comitatus , that is as he renders it , all the lands in the counties , and yet that besides whole counties , he gave a great proportion of lands in them . but since he taxes what i lay for the foundation of my essay for precarious , let 's see a little whether he does not render his own so , where it opposes mine . his whole book in that respect resolves its self into these three heads ; 1. that king john's charter in affirmance of the law imposed by william , or in force before , declares that the tenents in capite were the only members of the general council of the kingdom . 2. that from thence to the 49 h. 3. the practice or fact was for tenents only to compose the great or general council . 3. that none but tenents in capite were nobles . ( 1. ) if he himself yields that till king john's charter there was no such council as one made up only of tenents in capite , he thereby renders all under this head precarious , but this he does in two places at least . one where he urges that if the curia regis ordinaria , which i say was the court of the kings tenents , and officers exclusive of others , went off by reason of the clause in king john's charter , it certainly went off before it began , that is , such a court began not before ; and agreeable to this , he says , that after the granting of this charter by king john there were many general , and great councils , or colloquiums summon'd by edict according to the form there prescribed : that is , as he will have it , after that the tenents in capite only were summon'd to the great council , but not before , for then began this form . in another place ( though he charges upon me what are his own words ) he says king john resigned his crown the 15. of may in the 14th . of his reign , and he granted the great charter of the liberties three years after on the 15. of june in the 17. of his reign , and therefore could not resign it in such a council as was constituted three years after his resignation . and 't is a question whether he asserts not this in a third place , where he affirms that before this charter the kingdom had been taxt by our ancient kings , and their privy-council only . ( 2. ) but in truth he not only yields that the tenents in chief were first made the general council by king john's charter ; but that after that , more than such were members , not only the tenents in military service , of tenents in chief , but other ordinary freeholders . so that he submits himself to be goard by both the horns of that dilemma inforc't in my former treatise , viz. that king john's charter was either declarative of the law as 't was before , or introductive of a new law. and yields the precariousness of his own vagaries . ( 3. ) but does he not own that the notion that tenents in capite only were noble , is precarious ? since he yields that no kind of tenure does nobilitate , or so much as make a man free who was not so before according to his blood or extraction . though , according to this , one that held of the king in chief might have been a subjects villain , yet none that held a certain estate of freehold could be a villain , because 't is contrary to the nature of a freehold , that it should be so no longer than another pleas'd , that is only an estate at will. he will have it that mr. petyt is guilty of some horrible design , from the effects of which it seems this mighty champion is to rescue the government . and for me i am a seducer , one who would seduce unwary readers , a malicious insinuation , as if i would wheedle to my side a party against truth and the government ; but whether he who would set aside the evidences for the rights of the lords , and commons , or they who produce them fair , and would render them unquestioned , is guilty of the worst design , the world will judge ; and i doubt not , but he has at home a thousand witnesses , who , if he will hear their unbyast testimonies , will inform him whose are the groundless and designing interpretations . but i must confess they are so weak that these sacred things need very little help to rescue them ; especially since their enemies are so far from agreeing amongst themselves , that 't is more easie to conquer than to reconcile them . as on mr. petyts , and my side , the design can be no other , than to shew how deeply rooted the parliamentary rights are ; so the doctors in opposition to ours , must be to shew the contrary , ( a design worthy of a member of parliament ) and 't is a question whether he yields these rights to be more than precarious . for according to him the tenents in capite were the only members of the great council before 49 ii. 3. and if others were after , 't was by usurping upon the rights of tenents in capite , who and not others , when the new government was set up , began to be represented by two knights for every county , out of their own number , and they at first , that is then , elected their own representatives ; and yet these tenents in capite might be set aside if the king and his council pleased , nor was any power given to others to chuse till 10 h. 6. c. 2. which gave no new power , and the lords depend upon the kings pleasure . therefore what the design is , and at whose door the crime of it lies ▪ the thing it self speaks , tho i should be silent . but for fear he should seduce unwary readers , i must observe his artifice in imposing upon them the belief that as it has ever since 49 h. 3. been at the kings pleasure that any lords came to the great council ; so the king could of right name to the sheriff what representatives for the counties , cities and burroughs he pleas'd , as he observes in the margent upon a record 31 e. 3. but he is not so candid to observe , that though indeed at that time there was such a nomination , yet that was not to any parliament , or to make any new law , or lay any kind of charge upon the nation , or particular men ; but was a summons of a council to advise how what was granted by full parliament , legally summon'd , might be best answered juxta intentionem concessionis praedictae , and in such cases the judges only , who are but assistants in parliament , might well be consulted ; but pro magnis , & urgentibus negotiis , ( as when king charles the first called the magnum concilium , or great council of peers to york , upon the scotch rebellion ) the king call'd more to advise with ▪ and the counsellors might well be of his own choice . 't will be urg'd that when the king appointed but one for every county , they were impowr'd to consent to what de communi consilio contigerit ordinari , and that such a council made laws , as the statute of the staple made the 21 of e. 3. to which the answer is very obvious , that they made only ordinances , not laws , and that these were magna consilia , taken in a sense totally different from the generalia concilia , or parliaments , and all this appears above the power and subtilty of our learned doctors evasions , in that the record cited by himself in the 26 e. 3. calls the assembly they are summon'd to , concilium only , and an act of parliament in the twenty eight of that king calls what was done in the twenty seven ordinances , and that meeting a great council , magnum concilium ; but such a council it was , and its resolutions such meer ordinances ( the distinction of which from acts is well known ) that that very next parliament finds it needful to confirm , and give them the force of a law. agreeably to this the earl marshal in that grand case in the 3 h. 6. pleads , that though a determination hadde be made against the said earl marshall in great council , though he hadde be of full age , that might not disherit him without authority of parliament , these are uncontrollable evidences , and proofs against him , let him to save the great credit of his learning answer them if he can . but who is the new government-maker , and new parliament-maker , perhaps one might know from himself when he has considered a little better , and then he may think the government , as 't is now establisht , nighly concern'd in his errors . perhaps 't will be said i injure this good man in imputing to him a design in relation to the present government ; since he owns that the most excellent great council , ( and goes to prove it evidently from records ) received its perfection from the kings authority , and time . but 't is obvious that its perfection , must be meant of such its perfection , as his book allows , and he would make evident , but what is that ? that lords should , to the time of his excellent discoveries , be summon'd to parliament , or past by , at the kings pleasure , and that if the king pleas'd , he might summon one knight for a county , one citizen for a city , one burgess for a burgh , and those nam'd to the sheriff . and this design will be very evident if we observe his aery ambuscade , to return his own phrase , and meer juggle in joyning the kings authority and time together ; we think we have something , but by an hocus pocus trick 't is gone ; for admit that its perfection were such as we say it has at this day , viz. for lords to come of right in their own persons , and that the commons should send representatives of their free choice . yet let us see what setlement he gives this great council , for which purpose we must divide the two authorities , which sometimes may differ . and ( 1. ) suppose that though time would preserve that power which the great council exercises , a king would hereafter take it all to himself , and make laws by a council of his own chusing , or without any . if the doctor allows this power , doubtless the next parliament will thank him . ( 2. ) suppose that without , or against the kings authority , time only would establish this great council , can this be done ? he that affirms it surely will be no great friend to prerogative , nor understands he that maxim , nullum tempus occurrit regi . and one of these must be clos'd with . 't will be objected that i am as injurious to prerogative in arguing that some lords may have a right of prescription to come to the upper-house . but i think no sober man will deny that there is a right either from writs alone , or from writs as prescribed to , and 't is strange that it should not be against prerogative to urge a right from one royal concession , and yet it should be to urge it from many ; but farther , if they who had no right to come in person , or be represented in parliament , should by colour of prescription put themselves upon the king for counsellors , this were derogatory to the prerogative . but if there be a natural right for proprietors of land ( with whom some say is the ballance of power within this nation ) to be interested in the legislature , which i 〈◊〉 not affirm . or if there be such a positive right , not only from the laws for frequent parliaments , which suppose such to be members as had been , but more particularly from the law received in the 4th . of william the first , and by positive law or custom the king us'd to send special writs for some , general for others ; the prescribing to special writs , which is not of substance as to the legislative interest , is no diminution of prerogative ; because no more in effect is out of the king than was before , which is , that this man should one way or other have a share in the legislature . if this solution of mine will not pass i cannot help it , i am sure the law for a right grounded upon one or more special writs of summons , stands fast , though the reason of it should be above my reach . having run through a book so ill-natur'd to the government , and so impotent in its setled anger , as that which some may think to have no other design , than that of exposing mr. petyt and me , the one for artifice , unhandsom dealing with , and false application of records , &c. the other amongst other things , for ignorance , confidence , and cheating his readers ; i may hope notwithstanding the disparity of years , and the dignity of his place , to be very excusable in using our answerer with no more respect . when a man renders himself cheap by his folly , and yet meets with many so weak that they are discipled by him , to notions of dangerous and pernicious consequence to the state. — ridentem dicere verum , quis vetat ? — in summing up the product of his many years labours , which my preface charges him with , perhaps it may be thought that i omitted one considerable head ; however i leave to others if they think fit to add for a seventh . that both lords , and commons may be depriv'd of all shares , or votes in making of laws for the government of the kingdom , when ever any future king shall please to resume the regality . some perhaps may add an eighth ; that the parliaments are nothing but magna concilia , such as are called only to advise upon what shall be given in direction , but no consent of theirs required to make the kings determination a binding law. and vice versa , every great council , such as that call'd to york , is a parliament . finis . notes, typically marginal, from the original text notes for div a26164-e60 against jani , &c. p. 1. ib. p. 113. and 114. jani , &c. p. 26. quid , a new paragraph . he adds such to cases , to render it obscure . jani , &c. p. 26. na. so if a sum in gross were laid upon them . viz. to such payment as tallage . against jani , &c. p. 113. indeed he would take in more places . na. the king did perhaps require a certain sum after a general ordinance made by the council of tenents for a rationabile auxilium . jani , &c. p. 26. dr. p. 115. against jani , p. 115. & 117. p. 117. & 118. p. 118. na. he should have added only . nullum scutagium , &c. bracton lib. 1. cap. 16. nay sometimes he argues that it was not before , p. 56. p. 110. 112. 113. against jani , &c. p. 125 , 126 , 127. jani , &c. p. 225. p. 119. glos . p. 10. galls milites . against mr. petyt , p. 36. so against jani . p. 36. p. 78. placita coram rege hill. anno 14 r. 2. rot. 50 ▪ warw . na. this is the hugh to whom he imagines that william , gave all the lands of the county of chester . against jani , &c. p. 89. jani , &c. p. 264. ib. p. 264. against jani , p 4. against jani , &c. p. 89. rot. pat. 17. joh. pars unica m. 13. n. 3. ib. m. 23. dorso . against mr. petyt , p. 183. p. 127. in marg. ma. paris fo . 244. jani , &c. p. 244. vide amongst other authorities . jani , p. 51. 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61. 66. 2●4 . 248. rex debet omnia rite facere in regno & per judicium procerum regni leges par. ed. jani , &c. p. 241. against mr. petyt , p. 112. the free tenents in scotland , and the possessionati in poland us'd to be members of their great councils without representation . jani , &c. p. 248. & p. 66. jani , &c. throughout . communia de term. mich. an. 39 e. 3. rot. 36. penes rem . r. in scaccario . penes rem . regis in scaccario de term. pasche 29 e. 3. lincoln de re. brook tit . exemption . against mr. petyt , p. 41. jani , &c. p. 32. 35 , 36. 40. 57. 62 , 63 , 64. 66. 185. 219. against mr. petyt , p. 133. ib. p. 140. against jani , &c. p. 22 , 23 , 24. vid. the 12th . head . jani , &c. p. 34. v. domesday , &c. besides ( according to the terms first agreed on ) he received the confessors laws about this folcmote . confutation , p. 33. jani , p. 41. against jani , p. 62. p. 62. jani , &c. p. 248. against mr. petyt , p. 226. ib. p. 228. confutation , p. against mr. petyt , p. 210. against mr. petyt , p. 183. & 192. against jani , &c. p. 34. yet this tenure came in with will. 1st . against mr. petyt , p. 31. glos . p. 26. against mr. petyt , p. 43. against jani , p. 15. against mr. petyt , p. 29. glos . p. 8. against jani , p. 46. & 47. ib. p. 22. & 23. thus p. 48. & 49. he charges mr. petyt and me for averring that even servants who are not in a legal sense people of the kingdom were members of the great council . my words are in such a council as this here . jani , p. 15. which is as much as to say that there was such a council as this before . p. 118. against jani , p. 66. jani , p. 236. glos . p. 10. against mr. petyt , p. 1. against jani , p. 71. conscientia mille testes . against mr. petyt , p. 1. ib. ib. p. 210. ib. 42. how were cities and burroughs holding in capite represented according to this ?

is this to discharge that trust which you have in the presence of god sworn to perform ? surely so long as you thus continue to beate and bandy one against another , to pull down one faction to set up a second ; a second to set up a third ; to hang one theef that you may make another ; so long as you are thus selvish and partial in sparing men , ( i was about , nay i will say , knaves ) because they will side with you in carrying on your own designs , so long we cannot hope for any good either by you or from you , so long we are confident ( what ere you may pretend ) you intend no good to the king or kingdome , neither can any thing you do , compose or perfect that great work which you were called to and undertook , ( to wiy ) to ease us of our burthens , and establish justice with righteousness ; since 't is a meer contradiction ; and contrary to sense or reason for us to think that ever we can be eased of oppression by oppression , or obtain justice by injustice : 't is true your great oppressions of late years may make us forget our former petty sufferings , but never settle us in a true course of freedome , nor secure us for the future from injustice . therefore to conclude unless you do immediately lay aside all by-respects and your own interests , and unanimously joyn and act for the securing of the kingdome , and give a speedy testimony thereof , by your walking in the parts of justice and righteousness ; unless you do immediately administer justice and execute judgement impartially and endeavour to settle a firm and lasting peace , whereby the king may be with due honour invested , and the kingdome in its just liberty secured ; truely the kingdome shall not onely have been by you already exposed to many hazzards , ( besides the large expence of blood and treasure ) but shall for the future be necessitated , to curse the time that ever they entrusted you ; and be forced in justice to prosecute you as persons which had power , but not wills to restore them to their ancient liberties , and that which might have been an honour to you and your posterities in the generatons to come , will be recorded as a brand of obloquie , that such a parliament sate seven yeares , to enrich themselves , enslave , the whole nation . to the city . grave citizens , in whom wisdome was once chiefly resident , though now ( it is to be feared ) a great stranger ; how comes it to passe that such a spirit of giddiness possesses you ? what , have you found out new wayes to make your selves famous ? ( i fear miserable . ) you that were the glory of the nations , the envy of your foes , and the admiration of strangers , are now become the amazement of your friends , the scorn of your enemies , and a by-word to all nations ▪ cast but an eye upon your follies , and see into what a condition your division , nay , your prlde hath brought you : you that exalted your selves almost above the heavens , are now fallen , if possible , lower than the earth ; your towring pride is now buried in the dust of division ; you have been long time in travaile with joy , and now are delivered of sorrow : i wish you could yet see in this your day the things that belong unto your peace ; what , hath the love of money , eaten up your love towards one another ? hath your earnest pursuite of religion , forst religion to a squat ; truely you have hunted fairly , you have strove so much for religion in the church that it is to be feared you have lost it in your hearts ; these are the fruits of division , your presbytery , and independency , your outward formes and formall circumstances ; what , have you strove so long for the shaddow that you have lost the substance ; have you forgot that it is neither circumcisiou nor uncircumcision that availeth ought , but a new creature ; have you forgot that love is the fulfilling of the law , and a gospell duty : surely , this division is of the devill and not of god , for god is love , and his people are carried out with a spirit of love , and not of hatred and contention , envie and emulation . therefore dear friends and fellow citizens , i beseech you lay your condition ro heart , examine the ground of your division , and you will finde it to be the pride of your hearts , your self-conceitedness , &c. and cloath your selves in self-abhorrency , let him that would be the greatest be the least among you , let him that would or thinks himself wise , be a fool for christs sake , learn to bear with one another , labour to see that you are members of one body , united unto one head , and love one another , and administer unto the necessities one of another , so shall your love encrease and your divisions dye , but if you shall continue to widen the gap , confusion will enter , and what will ye do in that day ? to the army . gentlemen , actions are alwayes honourable that are compassed by just wayes , and aim at good ends , for wee ought not to do evill to produce good , neither should there be publike pretences made use of to advantage or secure private interests , i hope the contrary now , but yet i fear the event ; when the fabrick is larger then the foundation , there is great danger in the building ; so when the undertaking is greater then the power of the undertakers , truely 't is to be feared there will be more hurt then good , more detriment then advantage acrue to the persons concerned therein . gentlemen , your undertakings and engagements thereupon i have seriously observed , and impartially scanned , i find the end good , but the manner and prosecution hitherto , hath not been so good as i could wish ; and the temper , nay , necessity of the kingdome doth require : you engaged , if i mistake not , not to give over , nor look back untill you had to the utmost of your powers made provision ( not onely for your selves , and own interests as souldiers ) but as commoners ; and with your selves , all the free commons of england , that they and you together might be for the future protected and secured from all violence and oppression whatsoever , and in whomsoever and that there might be a due administration of justice and judgement , with righteousness : now give me leave to demand the cause of your retreat from the pursuance of this so honourable action ? how comes it to passe , i hear so many private whispers among you ; that you have nothing to do to meddle with any thing that concerns the kingdome , but meerly what concerns your selves , and your own particular actings : was it just or lawfull for you to enter into an ingagement , to perform that , which you now seem to dis-own , as unlawfull : surely , either there wanted a serious consideration at first , or else interests hath abated your resolutions at last ; which if either , how dishonourable it will be to your selves , how destructive to the kingdome , be your own judges . if the welfare of the people be the supream law , as you have sometimes granted , yea affirmed ; then whatsoever is contrary or standeth in opposition to that , is destructive to that main end , and therefore not onely to be avoided at present , but prevented for the future . but oppression and injustice particular interests , &c. are direct in opposition to the welfare of the people and altogether destructive , therefore to be prevented and removed . and certainly what cannot be repelled by policy , maybe by power , for if there be not a sufficient means left for the attaining the end , it is altogether vain and to no purpose . but to every end there is a sufficient means , therefore if the welfare of the people cannot be secured by one means , it may by another , if not by policy , then by power according to the parliaments ow● language to the king , the kingdome must not be without a means to preserve it selfe . and truely if the kingdome hath a means to preserve it self against the king , being then acting against the welfare of the kingdome ; it hath a power likewise to secure it self against the parliament , and army too , if they shall act , in the same way , and shall not prosecute the main end ( to wit ) the peoples welfare . how comes it to passe i beseech you that there is such sidings among you ? one great man favours another , and stomacks his opposer ; and let him be never so bad , so he will side insecuring some great persons particular interests in power among you , he shall not only scape scot-free , but be countenanced and protected among you : little theeves are hangd and great ones let go . is this to be single hearted ? will you that have taxed the king and parliament of partiality , be partiall too ? what a blemish will this be to all your former actions ? that you should now fawn upon those for favour , who would have rejoyced to have seen both you and the kingdome weltring in flouds of blood and confusion ; and who , it is to be feared by your too great indulgence and credulity , are plotting your destruction . i beseech you gentlemen consider , you stand upon a sandy place , which will , if not carefully looked to , devoure you , lay aside all interests and be what you have pretended to be , let not your own honour or promotions be onely aimed at , but have sole respect unto the peace of the kingdome . i have with sorrow observed . that there are , i may say too many among you , too great in power , who are swaid by passion not reason , who speak much against injustice in others , but never knew what it was to be just them selves ; men neither of discretion nor religion , what ere they may pretend , who do vehemently act for to gain applause and the favour of great men , and not for any love to the peace of the kingdome : now it is very unlikely that ever such a man can do ( or at least intends ) a generall good , unless it may advantage his own interest . i beseech you observe and beware of such persons , you may easily finde them ; for such persons in your councells will do you more hurt then all your other enemies , be not deluded by pretences though never so specious ; those persons that plead so much for delay , and argue so critically , intend no good to you , but carry on a dangerous design against you and the whole kingdome . and you may assure your selves the adversary , with whom you now run a contest , could never have gained so much time , nor brought you to such an exigency , had they not been encouraged , nay , assisted by some that have too much power and influence in your councell . gentlemen , the eyes of the kingdome are upon you ; and unless you answer their expectations and perform your promises and engagements , and that speedily ; truly , you will stand at as great a distance in their affections as others have done before you ; lose not this opportunity , seek the peace of the kingdome now , and seek your selves afterward , lest while you contend so earnestly for a shaddow , you lose the substance , be for pure justice without respect of persons , and let the kingdome see , that you will not favour or disfavour any person for siding with or against you , or for being of this or the other judgement . but that all persons of each party shall receive from you equall respect , according to their merit . but if you shall appear partiall to some , and severe to others ; if you shall do the works your selves , which you condemn in others : if you shall pretend to free us from one form of slavery to involve us in another , assure your selves , division and confusion will follow , and a worm will rise from your own bowels which will certainly devour you and consume your former glory . read and practice , prevent . farewel . to my fellow commons which desire peace . moderation in a multitude is ( rara avis in terra ) especially in england , of late years ▪ where rage , not reason , hath had the rule and soveraignty ; when the reynes of the bridle are thrown in the neck the unruly beast runneth where he listeth ; and truly such hath been the practice of you my fellow-commons for this seven years almost ; although you have received many a curb , and oft bit of the bridle for it , yet still like a head-strong horse you are stubborn and untamed , fearing neither switch nor spur ; and it is to be feared you will still persist until you are quite tyred ; to prevent which give me leave to expostulate with you a little ; it hath been often said , that misery is a schoolmaster to wisdom , and that wit is the best when it is dearly payd for , and truly i beleeve you have payd enough for it , hath not the plundering of your estates , the burning of your houses , the murdering of your children , the inslaving of your persons , taught you to hate war and love peace ? how comes it to pass then that there are so many murmurings amongst you , one part for the king , another for the parliament , another for the army , another for neither ; what are you frantick ? hath reason given place to rage , wisdom to folly , meekness to madness ? have you been so patient under seven years sufferings by war , and cannot you contain your selves one year in peace ; what , like children , all at an instant or none at all ? just like a fool that because he could not be rich in one day , would be a beggar all his life . certainly a spirit of fury ( i may say folly ) hath bewirched you , and put you upon the purchase of perpetual desolation to your selves and posterities ; and you with eagerness pursue it , in despite of those that would prevent it . in a word ; know therefore , unless you do with patience wait for the establishing of that peace which you desire , and give limits to your unlimited contentions , unless you lay aside your prejudicacy and censuring until you see the event , unless you seriously apply your selvs to make up the breach between your selves and your soveraign , the parliament , army , and city , and one another , and every one in his place and relation set his hand to the reducing of things to their proper center , unless both magistrates and people do i say with one accord , seek peace and establish judgment and righteousness , in vain are and will be all these mutterings and commotions , and do what they and you can , confusion and desolation wil break in upon them and you , and then when it is too late you may repent , but not prevent your destruction . this is the sence of him that sees great cause to fear this wil be the end of all this division if providence do not interpose very suddenly . postscript . i beseech you labour to love one another , and to be faithful each to other . let soveraigns seek the good of their subjects , and subjects the honour and peace of their soveraigns . let parliaments be faithful , and people peaceable : let souldiers be valiant for justice , but not factious for preferment ; let king , parliament , city , army , and people unite and joyn in the bonds of love , and leave judging , suspecting and reviling one another . then shal you see and enjoy a happy peace and the fruits thereof ; then shal the lamb lie down with the lion ; then shal not the voyce of the oppressed be heard in our streets , but joy , peace , plenty , and the most wished delights that are , or can be imaginable , or desired , be freely communicated unto you by the hand of jehovah , who is the god of peace , and hath annexed a blessing to the lovers thereof . farewel . thine , if thou studiest the peace of england . j. h. finis . jovis decimo quinto die junij, 1699, annoque regni regis willielmi tertij ... whereas by the ancient laws and statutes of this realm, there ought to be but one weight and measure used throughout this kingdom ... city of london (england). 1699 approx. 4 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 1 1-bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ; oxford (uk) : 2009-03 (eebo-tcp phase 1). a49044 wing l2865g estc r39645 18460247 ocm 18460247 107729 this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons 0 1.0 universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng weights and measures -law and legislation -england -london. london (england) -history -17th century. 2007-12 tcp assigned for keying and markup 2008-01 spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images 2008-03 mona logarbo sampled and proofread 2008-03 mona logarbo text and markup reviewed and edited 2008-09 pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion child blazon or coat of arms mayor . jovis decimo quinto die junij , 1699. annoque regni regis willielmi tertij , angliae , &c. undecimo . whereas by the ancient laws and statutes of this realm , there ought to be but one weight and measure used throughout this kingdom , to be marked according to the standard of his majesties exchequer . and whereas , for the more effectual observation thereof , several subsequent laws and statutes have been made ( and amongst others ) it is provided by an act of parliament made 11 hen. 7. cap. 4. that no person or persons shall buy or sell by any weight or measure , except it be marked , and like and equal with the said standard , upon pain , that such defective weights shall be broken and burnt , and the offenders , for the first time , to forfeit six shillings eight pence , for the second offence , thirtee● shillings and four pence , and the third offence , the penalty of twenty shillings , and to be set upon the pillory for the ensample of others . and by another act of the 17 car. 1. cap. 19. it is further provided , that if any one shall sell by any other weight , measure or yard , than according to the standard of the exchequer , and being thereof convicted , shall forfeit five shillings . and by another act made in the second year of his present majesty king william , and the late queen mary , it is enacted , that if any person or persons shall sell or utter by retail , in or by any glass-bottle or bottles , or in or by any other retail measure , not made of pewter , and sealed according to law , any kind of wine , or other liquor exposed to sale for wine , or shall sell the same for a greater price than by the afore-mentioned act is directed and appointed , and being thereof convicted , shall forfeit for every such offence , the sum of fifty shillings . the said respective penalties and forfeitures to be recovered in such manner and form , as in and by the said acts are directed , and as may by the said several acts more at large appear . notwithstanding all which laws and provisions , the deceits and abuses designed to be redressed by the same , have ●aily increased ;

but also threatens the utter ruine of the protestant religion , and the lives and liberties of all your loyall subjects . the petitioners therefore most humbly pray your sacred majestie , that by the advice of your great councell in parliament , the protestants in ireland may be speedily relieved , the tower put into the hands of persons of trust : that by removeall of doubtfull and unknown persons from about vvhite-hall and vvestminster , a known and approved guard may be appointed for the safetie of your majestie and parliament , and that the lord mandevill and the five members of the house of commons , lately accused , may not be restrained of libertie , or proceeded against , otherwise then according to the priviledges of parliament . and the petitioners ( as in all duty bound ) shall pray for your majesties most long and happy reign , &c. his majesties answer to the petition of the maior , aldermen , and common councell of the citie of london . his majestie having fully considered the matter of this petition , is graciously pleased to declare , that being unalterably resolved to make good all his expressions and declarations of his care of this city ; of the true protestant religion , and of the priviledges of parliament ; his majestie takes in good part , the intimation given by the petitioners of the fears and distractions wherein the city now seems to be . and though hee conceives hee did on wednesday at the guild-hall satisfie most of those particulars , is pleased to adde this further answer . 1 that for the sad businesse of ireland , his majestie cannot possibly expresse a greater sence then he hath done , there being nothing left on his majesties part unoffered or undone . and he hoped by the speedy advice and assistance of his parliament , that great and necessary vvork would be put in a just forwardnesse , to which his majestie will contribute all his power : and how zealous hee is and hath been therein , will appear in a declaration speedily to be set forth by his majestie . 2 for the tower : his majestie wonders , that having removed a servant of good trust and reputation , from that charge , onely to satisfie the fears of the citie , and put in another of unquestionable reputation , and known abilitie , the petitioners should still entertain those fears ; and whatever preparation of strength is there made , is with as great an eye of safety and advantage to the citie , as to his majesties own person , and shall be equally imployed to both . 3 for the fortifying of white-hall with men and munition in an unusuall way : his majestie doubts not , but the petitioners have observed the strange provocation he hath received to entertain that guard : that by the disorderly , and tumultuous conflux of people at vvestminster and vvhite-hall , his majesties great councell was not onely disquieted , but his own royall person in danger , most seditious language being uttered even under his own windows , whilest the examination and punishing such tumults by the course of law were interrupted and stopped . and if any citizens were wounded or ill intreated , his majestie is confidently assured , that it hapned by their own evill and corrupt demeanours . 4 his majestie knowes no other endeavours to the innes of court , then a gracious intimation , that he received the tender of their loyall and dutifull affections with very good approbation and acceptance , and an incouragement given them to continue the same upon all occasions . neither doth his majestie know , what discovery hath been lately made of fire-works in the hands of any papist . 5 for his going to the house of commons ( when his attendants were no otherwise armed then as gentlemen with swords ) his majestie is verily perswaded , that if the petitioners knew the clear grounds upon which those persons stand accused of high treason , and what will be proved against them ( which in due time they shall be acquainted with ) and considered the gentle way his majestie took for their apprehension ( which he preferd before any course of violence , though that way had been very justifiable ;

for this neglect hath been so long , that i feare it will require many dayes of humiliation before gods judgments will be remitted . there hath been many fasts , since god sent this city warning in 42. but no proper returne hath been made by this city in 17. yeares , to answer god againe ; till it hath pleased god to put it into your heart at this time ( nehemiah like ) to command a fast , which i hope will prove effectuall as his did . i thinke my selfe happie , that i can see it begun in your time , which your predecessor did either neglect , or tooke no cognizance of . i hope it will be a means to preserve this city ; if with reverence , and effectually performed ; as i doubt not , i could have wished that you had made it nehemiahs fast ; that both man and beast might have fasted strictly ; but for that , i submit to your honours better judgment , and shall ever pray for your honours health and happiniss , and the cities safety . your honors to command ;

but at the fleet upon notice given , most of the gentlemen of the house went up into the leads , where you might looke over all the houses as farre as aldgate , and had a full view of the manner and motion of it , which struck a great amazement into many of them , whereof i was one , and did observe it from almost the beginning , till it came over the thames and dispierst it selfe . so much for the description and manner of this apparition . london , printed for nath. butter , residing in cursitors alley , 1659. by the maior whereas divers rude and disordered young-men, apprentices and others, do now of late presume and take to themselves a liberty ... to throw about squibs and fireworks in the streets ... city of london (england). lord mayor. 1674 approx. 3 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 1 1-bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

yes , yes , taught by this fire when burnt to mourn , but burning to admire . distill'd by measure ? a poetick tear ? there 's more of chymistry then nature there . poets here needless are , unless the charm in verse had been sufficient to disarm the force and power of fire , if that could do it each loyal subject would have then turn'd poet. but since a rude confused draught fits best , as like th' effects of fire , let me express't . decaying trophies , and declining states , and what the series of age relates ▪ joyn'd with the wonders of the world , and all that we may height , or worth , or greatness call , like troy intomb'd in iliads , story showes the compass of a nutshel may inclose ▪ or like deceased potentates of old the narrow volume of a sheet may hold . thus londons beauty , pomp , varieties their only being in a catalogue lies : preserv'd by memory maintain'd by fame lives only in the story and the name . is poetry a rage ? yes justly styl'd but were 't a fury too , 't were here too mild : were it distracted too , a passionate distraction only makes it imitate . for hark the cryes the frights and the complaints of london's poor deplor'd inhabitants . here an united multitude combine together all their helpless succor joyn : as many there distrest in an amaze beset with tears as sad spectatours gaze but argus eyes , joynd with briareus hands are too too weak supplies to countermand so great a force , which like a torrent gorwes when stopt the greater , and with unlimited measure overflowes . the face of heaven with an unusual veile is over spread , while the proud fires exhale innumerous clouds of smoak , that they appear to make themselves another hemispheare . that seems to each approaching dazled sight both fire and smoak , both hell and heaven unite . some the next church their sanctuary make and that as common treasury partake , but for defence in vain their wealth remove when for their own their sanctuaries prove too weak ; in brief 't is but a short repreive surpris'd at last only a while survive , one merchant swears the elements conspire rescu'd from water to be wrackt by fire . finding more mercy in the rageing waves whose sinking billowes but present their graves which here too true he finds : his merchandise in a confused chaos buried lies . his arabian wealth serves but for one perfume : his indian , gold and silver , reasume their first original , and in the earth , make that their tomb whence they receiv'd their birth : once more , dispersed in a liquid train both or and argent turn into a vein . others who once their honour and estate in the same ballance weigh'd , by th' common fate like german emp'rours youngest sons , now are , or like declining kings but titular . but when i weigh the general loss , i swear if riches ever yet had wings 't was there . here are those planets influence of late which in the fiery trigon met , and that since the great monarch cesar wore the bays but once and then in carolus magnus daies : one planet rule a greater ? london far exceeds the power of every weaker star , for this , to feel its loss , imparts from hence through the whole kingdome its sad influence . nay threatens heaven . at this deep tragedy the sun's spectator but with half an eye , whilst his diminishing and weaker rayes in such a fainting manner he displayes , that what was totally then threatned here some part of an eclipse they seem to beare . that 't was a planet too , a wandring fire it s swift extent and motion did require . but if these stars rule here , let them compleat their yet continued aspect , as great as was the former that there may ensue as did the last a carolus magnus too . that london may arise and dayly higher with its triumphant monarch may aspire . but as for those profest astrologers , ( beyond our spheare , ) heavens privy counsellours who know by signs the very stars intent , give reason for 't ( above my element . ) as if they would foretel what 's past . t' apply portents to a foregoing destiny that 's base : the nobler way 's , search future fate help build another , then foretel of that . but hark ( me thinks ) i heare some say 't is just that londons pride is humbled in the dust . alas thus fire and smoak have left behind this its one property to make men blind too like this iustice that they plead , unless ambition height , and beauty pride express . away dark blindness , t is the only part of ignorance to censure the desert by the event as if that fortune could , because that , justice is by merit rul'd . nay were its guilt the high'st , who , but mad denies t were , thus absolv'd , too great a sacrifice ?

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng london (england) -social life and customs -early works to 1800. 2002-05 tcp assigned for keying and markup 2002-06 spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images 2002-07 mona logarbo sampled and proofread 2002-07 mona logarbo text and markup reviewed and edited 2002-08 pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion stripping , vvhipping , and pumping . or , the five mad shavers of drury-lane ;

and ( in a word ) to summe up all together , the devill doth labou● dayly , and all his endeavour is wholly bent to make worke for the hangman , and draw soules to his infernall kingdome . and amongst all the ●icks and sleights which this grand cunning master of mischiefe doth use , to bring us to destruction with all , there is no one policy of his that is more prevalent and advantagious to him , than is the sowing of discord and debate betwixt man and wife ; and although he hath a thousand innumerable wayes for the effecting of his damnable projects and purposes , yet jealousie is the chiefe and maine engine to bring it so to passe , that modesty shall be turn'd into madnesse , peace into strife , and love into hatred and mischiefe , as shall be shewed in this short following treatise . about the latter end of august last , 1638. this hellish fire of jealousie did most strangely inflame five women , whom my pen should not name , nor should they be knowne by any writing of mine , but that they and their mad and barbarous proceedings are too much true , and too many wayes scattred and spread abroad by sundry pens and tongues , some of them making the matter that was ( and is ) bad enough already , worse ; some mincing it , to make it better ; some for affection , some for malice ; some for flattery , and some as their idle and various humours please , doe report it as they list to frame it , not caring whether they speake or write truth or falsehood . the matter hath beene rim'd upon beyond reason , and therefore i hold it reason it should be related with truth , and thus it was . at the time , or neare the time aforesaid , one master evans , a barber in drury-lane , did chance to meete with one ioane ilsley in the streete , and belike the woman had formerly kept the said evans his wife when shee lay in child-bed , in which season ( of gander-month or wander-month ) perhaps the suspicious woman began to be a little inkindled with the sparkles of jealousie : but suspicion is no proofe● but evans afterwards , when hee by chance once met the woman , offered her ● pint of wine , which after some d●nyall was at last accepted : so in they went to a taverne ( the signe of the phoenix ) n●●re the lower end of drury-lane , behind , or on the back-side of the bell , which is an inne and a taverne in the easterne part of the strand : but they being over their one pint , in a low roome , and a drawer standing at the tables end , the one sitting on one side of the boord , and the other on the other side , so that there neither was nor could bee any immodesty said or done at that time : but some busie-body or other went and told evans his wife , that her husband was at the taverne drinking with ioane ilsley , whereupon she went in a heate to the phoenix , and found them there , upon whom shee bestowed such hot and hasty language as her tongue could afford , which made them breake company , ( some of the words were , she told the said ioane that she was naught with her husband ) but some few daies after , mistris evans ( being still jealously angry ) did breake her minde to some women , her neighbours , and withall made a shew to ioane that her anger was past against her , so that agreement was made , that a pigge should be eaten at mistris evans her house at night , and that in a faire seeming way ioane ilsly should be sent for as a loving guest invited to the pigge . at the time appointed the pigge was roasted , and the women dissembled , were assembled , and simple ioane was sent for , who ( poore wench ) not suspecting the sharpnesse or sowernesse of the feast , suspecting nothing , went to them , and being come amongst them , they seemed very friendly and courteously to entertaine and bid her welcome : to whom mistris evans said , 〈◊〉 prethee ioane , thou art well acquainted with my house , goe up into the upper chamber , and fetch downe some stooles for us to sit on , so innocent ioane went quickly up the staires for stooles , and presently there followed her three of the five women , to wit , evans wife , one cox his wife , and one fosters wife ; these three had with them a per●iworth of birchin rods , after whom followed the other two , to wit , one smiths wife a broker , & one mistris lee a widdow , then they beganne to revile her in most strange manner , and withall to lay hands on her , to plucke her cloathes violently off from her body , but she resisted and strived and strugled with them as long as she could , till at last they tore her apparrell off from her , then having her naked , they beganne their execution , some to hold her , and some to whippe her , so that the smart , and their harsh usage inforc'd her to beginne to cry ; which they perceiving stopt her mouth ●ith a clout or a handkerchiefe : then ●the first penny-worth of rods being wasted to the st●mps they fetch'd , or sent for two penny-worth more● and after they had whipped them out upon her , they sent for one penny-worth more : ( still stopping her mouth , that her crying might not be heard ) shee being thus naked , and all gore-bloody , they cald up 〈…〉 bade him bring up a bason of water , & a razor , which the boy did ; but when he came within the chamber doore he was abashed and ashamed , and threw downe the razor and bason , running downe the staires as fast as hee could : the one of the women tooke up the razor , meaning to doe i know not what with it . but ioane being used thus harshly by them , and in bodily feare of some worse abuse , did strive against them , in which scuming shee received a cut , or wound in her backe , neare the shoulder , with the razor . this extreamity being past , these women ( if i may so call them ) had 〈◊〉 much modesty as to make fast 〈◊〉 apron , or halfe a kir●●e before her , over the fore-part of her body , and as she was , being cut , whipped , and all bloody over , they haled and thrust her downe the staires , and pump'd her at a pumpe which was in evans his backe ●ide : after that they thrust her into the streete , ( i● being betweene ten , and eleven of the clocke at night ) and from the streete ( or dr●ry lane ) they puld and ●ug●●her ( with her haire about her eares ) into a court called reine-deere court , where at a pumpe they held her under the spout , and pump'd water upon her , and us'd her more shamefully than is fit to write of , still stopping her mouth with a clout● also in the yard , at the last pumpe , there were two men that did abuse her , one smith was one : but shee striving with them had her kirtle or apron torne off from her , so ●●at shee had nothing to cover her ●●rkasse , but the darknesse of the night . at last this bu●ling was overheard by an honest coach-man , whose name is thomas finch , who marvailing what it might bee that made such a stirre at that time of night : hee and his wife comming to the pumpe , finding a woman in such a pittifull plight , so handled by such rough and pittilesse creatures , he ( in humanity ) rescued her from them , and suddenly pluck'd off his horse-mans coate , and coverd her nakednesse : whereupon her adversaries ( or lawlesse executioners ) all forsooke her , and dispers't themselves , it is no great matter whither . the coach-man demanded of the poore abused creature what she was , and wherefore they had used her so cruelly : and she answer'd , that shee was a poore yong woman that did get her living by nursing and keeping of childe-bed women , and also that sometimes shee did attend and kee●● sicke folkes , and that she at that ti●● was a keeper or waiter on a si●ke gentleman ( a captaine ) at the signe of the helmet in the strand : he asked her further where her cloathes were , and wherefore those women had us'd her so ? and she answer'd him , that they had torne and rent her cloathes in pie●es , and also that shee had five shillings of money in one of her pockets : wherupon the coach-man did pitty her hard estate and usage , and withall did bring her presently home to the aforesaid signe of the helmet , where shee dwelt , and doth remaine yet to this twelfth of october , 1638. being much bruised and hurt , and spets blood . now reader i imagine you have not heard of such a mad crew of shavers , whippers , and politicke pumpers ; nor doe i thinke that any penne , or relation of tongue or history doth mention the like . after shee had recoverd a little ●●rength , she procured warrants from 〈◊〉 justice of the peace ; which when the matter was heard and understood , they were bound all of them to answer for this outrage to the woman , the spoiling of her , and her apparrell , and the losse of her money ; but they did put in good baile for their appearance at the sessions , and on the eight and twentieth of september they went to westminster to save their baile and recognisence : ( quarter sessions being then holden there ) from which tryall , they have by a writ of sursarara remov'd their cause up to the right honourable court of kings bench , but as they were returning homeward , some women ( belike that had heard of their desperate and unmannerly exployts ) as soone as they saw them passe did raile on them , and revile them most scoldingly eloquent ; and withall so embroydered them with dirt , which they cast at them , that they seemed more like ladies of the soyle , than women of any meane degree . and thus have these five foolish women run●● themselves into sixe pecks of trouble : how it will bee answered and ended time will shew , if the reader hath the patience to stay so long . these are the fruits of mad-braind , hare-braind , shallow-braind jealousie ; for as the pedegree of cure ( or remedy ) may bee thus delineated : itch begat scratch ● scratch was the father of scabbe ; scabbe begat sore , to whom smart succeeded ; then smart was the father of paine ; paine begat griefe , who was the sire of care , and care begat cure : so idle thoughts are the fathers of whisperings ; whisperings begat pratling , babling , talking , lying , slandering ; these mongrels are for the most part begotten at gossippings , and are the incurable issues or fistulaes of wicked mindes : from them fame sends out rumour , report , and heare-say ; and they set malice , backebiting , and slander on worke , who are so double diligent in their damnable devices , that they doe never cease working , till such time as they have h●led jealousie by the eares out of the dungeon of hell : and sure there is no tiger or beare when they are robbed , or bereaved of their whelpes , so divelish mad as a jealous man or woman . it hath beene indeed too often knowne that beauty hath beene the ruine of chastity , ( if grace guide and guard it not ) and as the flattery of men may overcome the weaknesse of women , so the wiles and snares of subtile strumpets have intangled and ruin'd too many men ; for ●ole , deianeira , and omphale , were too hard for hercules , and one of them made him lay by his club , and fall to spinning with a dista●fe . the queene of love subdu'd the god of warre , and the same venus naked , did foile pallas who was arm'd on mount ida : and whosoever hee be that sowes kisses on such lips as are lasciviously manur'd with the dung of temptation , shall be sure to reape 〈◊〉 harvest either of contempt , diseases , beggery , and defamation ; for the world is full of examples and presiden●s of many thousand , that have reap'd such a crop as they have sowne . that man that is yoak'd with a scold , that will be jealous without cause ; o●●ly because she will be so ; and for that surmise and slander shee like a devill doth make her house her husbands continuall hell : surely such a man is partly happy , if withall hee hath the vertue of patience , ( as wife socrates had with his xantippe ) for hee that is match'd with such a fiend , hath no need to care where he goes , nor what society he keeps ; nor hath he reason to be affraid of any harme that any wicked company can doe him , for the devill himselfe will not hurt him that is match'd with one of his sister . but if any shuttle-witted fellow , that is wedded to a chaste and modest woman , and is so farre troubled with a wild buzzing ●●d-flye in his braines , that he nothing but dreames of supposed invisible hornes , such a kind of cacadudgeon c●xcombe , doth justly deserve to have beene match'd to a wench whose heeles had beene lighter than his head , and then hee might meritoriously have made a combe of a fire-forke , and worne an oxe-feather in his hat without wrong or injury : in a word , there is nothing can grieve or torment the heart either of a good man or woman , than to finde their truth , constancy , loyalty , and honest integrity suspected or question'd ; for let it be truely weighed and considered , what hurt or occasion of suspicion can be for a man to give a woman a part of one pint of wine , in an open low roome in a publick taverne ? it is not to bee doubted but such accidents doe happen dayly , at the least a thousand , and yet for all that there is not one whoore or cuckold the more : but when as rashnesse addes waxen wings ( like those of icarus ) of indiscretion and inconsideration , and that either the man or the woman are mounted or soar'd aloft to the height of love-killing hell-borne jealousie , then doth the furious heate and flame of rage melt those deceitfull and suspicious wings , wings whereby the jealous party drops and tumbles downe headlong into the bottomelesse ocean of irreperable disgrace and infamy . the envy and inveterate hate of wicked women is almost past thought ; envy is the mistresse of injustice ; it stirreth and inciteth both the thought and the hand to all ill and wicked actions : and that envy which is secret and hidden , is more to bee feared than that which is open and manifest : such was the secret malice of this barbers wife , whose jealousie did burne a great while within her , and at length her envy did burst out into a flame , and so hath brought ruine and disgrace to her and her husband , which is so farre distant : and if any woman be so full of wrath and revengefull as this woman is , and her associates , and especially if they know that they have power of command , or authority , they will soone bring all to destruction : for they will plot either to poyson , stob , or else some ther way make their will and passions their law : and therefore i advise all to learne this saying , rather to be affraid of that renowne and credit which is dishonest and shamefull , for they plotted this businesse , because they would he talk'd on hereafter . suppose this i●●●e had beene guilty of a fault , must these women be their owne revengers , their owne witnesses , their owne judges ? must they have the law in ●●eir owne hands , thus to usurpe● 〈◊〉 wholsome lawes , and make havo●● of a woman in this un●ill mann●●● women shall i call them● nay , rather monsters : or else some evill spirit in their shapes , to commit such inhumane and unnaturall acts as these : such actions they be that are past example , nay ; never the like heard of , to commit such uncivill actions , and upon their owne sexe , whose civill carriage should be example to the younger sort ; their actions were such , as i said before , that i blush to relate them , and ought not to be divulg'd no lowder than a whisper : the heathens that knew not god would not have done the like : nay , the wilde beasts of the wildernesse would have pursu'd to de●th such beasts as rapin'd and live upon the spoyle of other beasts ; they themselves punish , and shall these creatures hate these acts which a christian commits , and we commit them ? but their punishment no doubt will be inflicted upon them according to their deserts ; and my second part , which i will shortly publish , shall shew their confessions and their punishments : and so i end this relation , wishing their sufferings may be an example to others , that none dare attempt such uncivill and immodest actions hereafter . finis . by the mayor the right honourable the lord mayor, and his brethren the aldermen of the city of london, considering how the infection of the plague is dispersed in divers and sundry places neere about this city, doe ... command all manner of persons ... to take notice of, and obserue these seuerall articles ensuing ... city of london (england). lord mayor. 1630 approx. 4 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 1 1-bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

on the image sets published by proquest via their early english books online (eebo) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). the general aim of eebo-tcp is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic english-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in eebo. eebo-tcp aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the text encoding initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). the eebo-tcp project was divided into two phases. the 25,363 texts created during phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 january 2015. anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. users should be aware of the process of creating

record of the period. in general, first editions of a works in english were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably latin and welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in oxford and michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet qa standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. after proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of tcp data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a tcp editor. the texts were encoded and linked to page images

& stood by them in their greatest straits , assisting them with our purses and forces , when few else would own or stand by them , and hazarded the loss of all that is dear and precious to us for their defence , who else had been swallowed up and destroyed by their prelaticall , popish , malignant enemies sundry times ere this , and brought to utter desolation ; for all which faithfull services , and real testimonies of our most cordiall affections towards them ( which they have frequently and gratefully acknowledged both in the houses and city upon sundry occasions , and remonstrated to the world in divers printed ordinances and delarations . ) we did at least expect a free and full enjoyment , if not a confirmation and enlargement of all our ancient hereditary freedoms , priviledges , rights , franchises and customs ever constantly enjoyed by us and our predecessors from before the conquest , till the last year , confirmed by magna charta it self , chap. 9. which enacts , that the city of london shall have all the old liberties and customs which it hath been u●ed to have ; and entayled to us and our successors for ever , by many successive charters and acts of parliament of most of the noble kings of england , as well before as since ; which neither one nor both houses of parliament , in their fullest and freest condition , have or can pretend to have any just or lawfull power to repeal or diminish in the least degree , without our own consents or desires , and the kings concurrence thereunto by an act of repeal ; much less whiles under the actuall force and power of disobedient mutinous army , who have forcibly imprisoned , excluded and driven away most of their members . but in stead thereof we finde ( to our deepest grief and astonishment ) a most ingratefull , and dishonorable requitall of all our former faithfulness , love , bounty and services , not by the generality of the members of both houses ( whose favors and sincere affections towards us , in studying to preserve and enlarge our priviledges , franchises and charters upon all occasions and treaties with his majesty , we shall ever gratefully acknowledg ) but only of a small inconsiderate party in the houses , wholly acted and swayed by a jesuitical and anabaptistical powerfull party in the army , who have a long time made it their principall study and master-piece , to rend and disengage the city and houses from , and dash them in pieces one against another , and divide them into factions and fractions among themselves , whereby to enslave and ruine them both , and by their slavery and ruines to make way for their own ambitious designs , and intended greatness and tyranny , far more intolerable and grievous then any we or our ancestors formerly sustained under the worst of all our kings ; which they have no hopes to accomplish , whiles the houses and city enjoy their ancient priviledges , freedoms , and continue cordially united : and therefore have at this present most perfidiously and trayterously endevored to captivate and enslave , not only the king , but both houses of parliament , and the city together ; and in them the whole kingdom and english nation . for which end and purpose , having brought up the whole army to london and westminster , contrary to the houses order ▪ and quartered many of them in and about the city , in the principall places of strength and advantage , beyond our expectation , and contrary to their own engagement to us ; seised upon our treasuries and halls ; imprisoned one of our sheriffs , though a member , and carried him caprive out of our liberties ; and by armed power and a horrid force upon both houses , most injuriously imprisoned , and forceably kept out , and driven away all or most of their faithfull members admiting none to sit , but only such who are confederate with them in these their treasonable designs , and that under their force and imposed guards to over-awe them ; they have on the 18 and 20 of december last , caused these their confederates ( who usurp and take upon them the name and authority of the two houses of parliament , when as in truth , they are and have been neither , and no houses at all ever since their being under such a visible force , and violent restraint and seclusion of the greatest number of their members from thence by the officers & armies armed power , contrary to the undoubted known rights , priviledges and freedom of parliament , which they , we , and the whole kingdom and army are engaged by covenant inviolably to preserve ) to make and publish two printed papers : the first whereof they style , an ordinance of the lords and commons assembled in parliament for the choosing of common councel-men , and other officers within the city of london , and liberties thereof for the year ensuing , the second , an ordinance of the lords & commons assembled in parliament : concerning the election of common councel-men , and other officers in the city of london . wherein among other things they do declare and ordaine ; that no person whatsoever that hath been imprisoned or that did subscribe or abet to the treasonable engagement ( as they tearm it ) in 1647 , or that did aid , assist , or abet the late tumult within the cities of london and westminster , or the counties of kent , essex , middelsex , or surrey shall be elected , chosen , or put into the office and place of lord major , alderman , aldermans deputy , common councel-men , or into any office or place of trust within the city for space of one whole year , or be capable to give his voyce for the chosing any person to any the offices aforesaid . and it is thereby further ordained by the authority aforesaid ( though null and void ) that if any person or persons comprehended under the aforesaid exceptions , being chosen , shall presume to sit in the court of aldermen , common-councell , &c. or to execute any of the aforesaid offices contrary to the true intent of this ordinance , shall forfeit the sum of two hundred pounds , the one halfe whereof shall be within twenty dayes paid unto him or them that shall make proof thereof , and the other moyety to be paid unto the treasurers appointed by parliament for the use and relief of the maimed souldiers ; and it is hereby declared ; that all such elections are null and void , and the lord major for the time being is hereby required from time to time to give order , that this ordinance be published at all elections , and that the same be strictly and punctuolly observed , as also by affording the liberty of pole , it being required by any of the electors present ; and for the better execution of this present ordinance be it further ordained , that the lord major of london , the sheriffs , and aldermen , and justices of peace within the said city of london , or any two of them shall , and are hereby authorized and required to commit to prison all such persons , as after due proof upon oath to be made unto them , or any two of them of any person that shall make any disturbance at any election , contrary to this ordinance , and to leavy the said fine of two hundred pounds by distresse , and sale of the goods of the person so offending contrary to this ordinancee . which pretended ordinances , being made and published by confedracy as aforesaid , whiles both houses remained under the unparalleld , force of the officers and army , who have levyed open war against them , and violently imprisoned , excluded and driven away most of the members , and end●avour to dissolve the parliament , and tending wholly to alienate our affections from , and engage us against the parliament , to deprive us of our undoubted hereditary liberties , freedoms , franchises and customes , confirmed and setled upon us by so many royall charters and acts of parliaments , and enjoyed alwayes by our predecessors under the worst of kings and tyrants ; to subvert the whole government , magistracy and freedom of the city , and to put us into present confusion and mutinies , that s● they might thereupon take advantage to enslave , plunder and destroy us at their pleasures : we do therefore in this our great extremity and perplexity , which so nearly concernes the present government , weal , safety , and very life and being both of city , parliament and kingdom , here seriously and unanimously protest before the almighty all-seeing god , angels and men , that these two pretended ordinances , being made by confederacy as aforesaid while both houses lay under so great a force , and most members were violently excluded and forced thence , ( there being at the passing of them not above 3 , or 4. lords , and 45. commons at most present , and they under the forced guards of the army ) are in themselves meer nul , void and u●obligatory to us and all others , to all intents and purposes , and were and are declared to be so , at the very time of their making . by the ordinance of both houses of the 20 of august 1647 made by those very members who passed these two pretended ordinances . and that all elections of any officers whatsoever within the said city and liberties , wherein any of us have been deprived of our voyces and freedom by colour of either of these two ordinances are meerly nul and void to all intents . and we further hereby in like maner declare and protest , that the fore mentioned clauses contained in these pretended ordinances ( though the houses had been never so repleat and free when passed ) which deprives us of the undoubted liberty and freedom of our voices in electing our officers ; disables any persons elected by us to bear any office when elected , and which doe declare the said elections void , imposing a forfeiture of two hundred pound upon such who shall in the least degree execute any trust or office to which we shall elect him , to be levyed by distresse and sale of his goods ; and giving authority to the lord mayor , aldermen , and justices of peace within the city , to imprison all such persons , ( who coming to give their voices , or claiming and maintaining their freedom and the cities ) shall make any disturbance at any election contrary to these pretended ordinances ; though never so faithfull to the parliament , and active in their service heretofore : are likewise void and null in themselves , and the highest and most tyranicall usurpations over our liberties , franchises , persons , estates and freedom in our elections , that the heads of our professed enemies could invent , and most contrary to all the houses former professions , remonstrances , declarations , promises , and engagements , and to their solemn league and covenant , to defend and protect our liberties , franchises , customs rightes and freedoms , yea contrary to the fundamentall lawes and statutes of the land ; the manifold charters and acts of parliament made from time to time , for the confirmation of our customs , liberties , and freedom in the elections of our officers ; and to the express statute of 3 edw. 1. c. 5. which enacts , that all elections ought to be free ;

but according to your imaginations , so is your worship , and as your streets are , so are your idols temples , and thy idolatrous worship ; the abomination of desolation , sitteth where it ought not , and the seed that belongeth to immortal life , is buried in thee ! o london , london ! how art thou fallen ? and from whom art thou gone astray ? even from the righteous judge , and pure god of heaven , and of earth , o! thou art dead , and dying from the true worship and service of the lord , which is in spirit & in truth ; thou art groaping at noon-day , and thy light is not risen out of obscurity , that should give thee the knowledge of the glory of god in the face of jesus christ , although the measure of gods grace hath called thee to repentance , and doth strive with thee against thy pride , cruelty , hard-heartedness , and oppression , but thou wilt not lend thine ear unto it , neither doth the grace of god teach thee ; but to the contrary art thou led unto persecution , by that spirit which leadeth into transgression : o! how many of the lords dear servants , lambs and babes , hath the lord sent into thy streets , high-wayes , and idols temples ? to declare what they have seen , tasted , and handled of the word of life , and hath proclaimed this notable terrible day , which they see is coming upon thee , & to declare unto thee thy sins & transgressions , and how great the indignation of the glorious god will be executed upon thee by reason of them , and for clearing their consciences , and being obedient unto the commands of the lord , some of them hast thou stoned , and some imprisoned , and cruelly beat , and unmercifully used them , of which doings the lord taketh notice , and heareth the groans of the innocent , and the cries of the oppressed : o! it s entered , it s entered into the ears of the lord god of sabbath , who knoweth how great our sufferings is in this city , and in all quarters of the whole earth , where we have been sent , we have groaned under cruel oppression and tyranny , by unjust judges , and unrighteous rulers , especially by our own countrymen , and in the land of our nativity , for which my spirit is troubled , because we all profess the name of christians , and own christ in words , to be a saviour , but in works and life you deny him ; and by this thing is the name of the lord blasphemed amongst all them , who doth not own christ at all , whom you call heathens ; but truly their life condemns yours , they having no law , are a law unto themselves , and they shall rise up in judgement with this generation , who draweth nigh unto the lord with their lips , and their mouths , but their hearts is far from god : o the lord god will be eased of such a vain religion as this , he that seeth thee in secret is the munition of rocks , & he will reward thee openly , his sickle shall pierce thy heart , and his sword shall rip up thy bowels ; pain , sorrow , and anguish shall overtake thee , as a woman in travel , and from it thou shalt not escape : o friends ! as a woman hath pain before she bringeth forth , so certainly and surely must you feel the pangs of death , before you know the birth immortal ; and if that this be not witnessed , there is no seeing of god , nor no inhabiting of his holy hill , where alone dwelleth purity ; holiness , and righteousness for ever : o search and try , you who are citizens of this mortal city , which may truly be called sodom and egypt , for in thee is the son of god crucified , and put to open shame ! do you feel or know a part in another city which is immutable , which fadeth not away ? do you eat of the hidden manna which corrupteth not ? or do you drink of the blood of the lamb ? have you yet found peace with the lord ? are you reconciled unto the god of jacob ? are you saved , or saving from your sins ? or have you seen the lord , and the place where the mighty god dwelleth ? if not , your religion is all in vain , and if you do not speedily repent , you shall die in your sins , and where he is , you shall not come ; this will be his answer unto you , who is the alpha and omega , the first and the last , depart ye workers of iniquity , i know you not : o this will be sad tidings unto you , who have got a fair covering , but it s not of the spirit of god , which the lord will rent off in the day when he shall take peace from the earth ! o ye inhabitants of this bloody city ! cast away every man from him the idols of egypt , with your gods of gold and silver , of precious stones and goodly houses , and make no longer your belly your gods , least god cut you off in this day in which he is slaying the wicked with the first-born of egypt , the lord will choak pharoah , with all his host , in the sea of confusion ! o! a night of darkness is a coming upon thee , and upon all thy neighbour cityes , o! a thick cloud covereth thee , mists and fogs is spread upon thee , thy glory is staining , thy honor is laying in the dust , and thy mortal crown shall be thrown into the pit , thy destruction is coming upon thee at noon-day ; thou shalt look for light , but have none , and for the dawning of the day , but it shall not appear ; glad tidings shall be hid from thee , sorrow , and trouble , and fear , shall compass thee about ; thou shalt wish for death rather then life , and for the grave , but shall not find it , then shalt thou seek to thy priests , thy rulers , and judges , who have caused thee to erre , thinking thereby to get peace , but shalt find none ; the earth shall not bring forth unto thee her encrease , as in times past ; and as thy vultrous eye hath been delighted with vanity , and thy adulterated ear hath been filled with curiosities of strange voices , and thy heart hath been filled with lust , pride , and vanity , thy tongue exercised with cursing , swearing , and lying , cheating and cozening , and taking the name of the lord in vain ; and as thy feet hath walked after pleasures , and thy hand hath handled deceitfulness , guile , and fraud , and have been all servants unto sin , and fulfilling the devils will , even so must the vengeance and plagues of the lord be powred out upon the man of sin , which hath captivated thy mind , and misled thy members , which was created only and alone to serve the living god , the creator of heaven and earth . o! what rioting , swearing , cursing and drunkenness , murder , whoredome , and theft , is found in thee , which grieveth the soul of the righteous , cozening , and cheating , & deceiving souls for dishonest gain , buying and selling the words of god on the market day , and in the idols temple , all this is found in thee , which words of god , the holy men of god spoke them to the people freely ; as they had freely received ; they coveted no mans gold , or silver , but having food & rayment , they were therewith content ; and they who preached freely , were co-heirs with christ , who had purchased a city for them , whose builder and maker is god , they said to the scribes and pharisees which sate in moses chair , who had the prophets words read amongst them , that they would not enter in themselves , nor let others to enter in : they said also , that they might all prophesie one by one , and if any thing was revealed to one that stood by , he was to speak , and the first was to hold his peace , for god is a god of order ; but in this our day , which is the lords , and the time wherein we are cast , if any in the spirit of the lord come amongst you , and be moved to speak in his power , thou beatest , and bruisest , and hallest before thy magistrates , and castest into prisons , by this we see plainly and clearly , that thy religion is not the pure religion , and that thy church is the church of rome , and thou art governed by the whores power , which god is laying wast , and dashing to pieces , in this his glorious day : thy clouds of religion , be they never so thick , they are seen thorongh ; in the light and power of god we do measure the height , the length , depth , and breadth of all thy religion , thy sun is eclipsed , and thy glory is fallen . o thou lucifer , son of the morning ! thy portion is in the lowermost hell , thy part and lot is vanished away , and thy beauty is driven away , as the dust in the summers day before the wind ; woe from the lord god of power be unto thy lawyers , for they have stollen away the key of knowledge : o the oppressed groaneth under their cruel tyranny of oppression ! they lie in wait to ensnare the simple , and to beguile and intrap the honest-hearted ; but the lord loveth the pure in heart , and preserveth them out of the lions mouth , and out of the paw of the bear , glory be to god on high , dominion and strength be given to his son for evermore : howl ye lawyers , weep bitterly ye rulers , and judges , lament ye priests , for the day of gods account is coming on , and it hasteneth , wherein the book of conscience shall be opened , wherein your sins are written , as with the point of a diamond , and out of the book of life you shall be judged , according as your works shall be , so shall your reward be , for our god is pure and immortal , he will torment the wicked , and plague the ungodly , and cast into the pit for ever : o! i most humbly beseech you , as in christ stead , leave off your covetousness , with your hypocritical religion , your fained prayers , and abhor your selves in dust and ashes , that repentance and amendment of life you may know with the lord , before thy house of clay be dissolved , for the son of life weepeth over thee , as he did over jerusalem . o that thy eyes were open , and thy heart unvailed , that thou mights see how good the lord is unto all the sons and daughters of men , and how long he hath tendered his mercy and grace unto thee , and hath held forth his hand with a cup of blessings for thee , but thou hast joyned issue with the transgressor , and art rebellions and stiff-necked against the seed of god , the lord god make thee sensible of thy back-slidings , and heal thee , if he see it good : o! my soul is truly powred forth unto the lord for thee , that thou may est not inherit the lake which is prepared , but peace and rest for thy immortal soul thou mayest find ; for the soul is immortal , and there is no mortal thing can satisfie thy soul , but the presence of the lord , which is far beyond the gold of ophir , or the onick stone . o! what wouldst thou give for peace with god , when thy day shall be turned into darness , & thy table shall be made a snare unto thee , and thou shalt be like the hearth in the wildernesse , which seeth not when good cometh , thy lovers shall pass away , & trouble shall compass thee round about ; then if thou hadst the whole world thou wouldst give it for peace with god , but then will thy day be sealed up , and there will be no place found for repentance ; therefore i desire thee in the dreadful power of god , put not the day of the lord afar off , but let the sword of the lord cut down , and the fire burn up all that is contrary to god ; and away with thy idols , down with thy images , pluck down thy high places , for the lord will be avenged of thy groves , thy strong okes , and tall cedars , and he will ride upon thy high hills , and thy fenced city will he lay waste ; and he will ease the innocent , and deliver the oppressed , thy prison doors shall be broke up , and the bonds of iniquity burst asunder , the agreement made with hell and death will be disannulled ; and though many of us have been halled out of your mass-houses , and have been halled before magistrates , both by papists and protestants ; yet know this , that our god in whom we trust , he lives for ever , and he sits as judge amongst the gods . o! the fury of the lord is gone forth against the wicked , and they shall not prosper , and although they may reign for a while , and build their nests in the stars for a short time , and joyn hand in hand to punish the righteous , and to oppress the just , and to oppose christ and his kingdome , yet he whose glorious reign is begun in the earth , who is the king of saints , and governour of heaven and earth , he will pluck them from their stately thrones , and disinherit them of their mortal life , unless they turn to the sword which will cut , and to the axe which will hew , & to the fire which will burn them ; then wilt thou come to know the circumcision which is made without hands , and a baptizing into christs death ; and if a baptizing , then a death of deaths unto all mortal , and visible , and dying things ; then wilt thou be a new creature , all old things will passe away , the old heavens and the old earth will be burned up , and a new heaven , & a new earth will be created in righteousness , wherein the lamb dwelleth , whose name is called the word of god , who is the light of the world , and was given of the father a light to lighten the gentiles , and to be the glory of his people israel : this light checks thee in secret , when no mortal eye seeth what thou art doing ; this light beholds thee ; and this is gods swift witness , which he hath placed in man , which is only and alone sufficient to lead into immortal life , although the blind guides , who are of the cursed stock of ham , sayes , that this light which is in man , is natural , and not sufficient of it self to lead to god . this is my testimony friends , which i must bear amongst you , for the true light , against all that doth oppose it , who hath been a citizen with you in this bloody city , and have been feeding with you upon the husks with the swine , and alienated from god , and a stranger to his life , as you are at this day , whilest i was one with you in your religion and worship , my soul was hungry , and was even black with thirst , i had almost fallen in your streets for want of the bread of life ; no peace nor true rest amongst you could i find , yet mornings , and evenings , and at noon-day , i sought the lord , but could not find him , because i was not in his way , neither did i hearken to his light , neither could any of your chief priests tell me where the lord was to be found , but told me in heaven , but what heaven was , and where it was , they knew not ; the light which is pure condemned me , and no peace with the lord could i find amongst all your dead worships , and earthly performances ; but at length the lord , ●ho is rich in mercy , he looked down from his holy habitation , and he saw there was no help amongst men , nor no refreshments to be received from their ministry , but my soul was dying and fainting away , with a numberless number besides me , by reason of our sins & transgressions , then the lord sent in fulness of time his servants into this city , f h and e b , who spoke the word of eternal life , whereby my weary soul was refreshed , and the dead heard , and lived , and glorifies the lord in the land of the living : glory and honor be given to god , who sent them furnished with the treasure of knowledge and wisdome , and to speak comfort unto the prisoner of hope ; and i , amongst many in this city , may blesse the hour and the time that they came in the power and spirit of god to visit this city , for by their coming was i turned from darknesse to light , and from satans power to gods ; and they were instruments in the hand of the lord to bring me to his kingdome , the lord god in his endlesse love hath made me forsake this city , with all the glory and pleasures of it , and i see another city , and do inhabit a more durable habitation , which will never fade away , but will stand me in stead for ever ; and by the light of christ , which is eternal , was i brought to this habitation ; and if ever thou comest to god , thou must own this light which thy teachers speak against : if thou wilt love the light , it will lead thee in a path which thou hast not yet trodden in ; there is no lyon , or lyons whelp , hath trodden in this path , no vultrous eye hath seen it ; therefore thou must come forth of thy fallen estate , thy whoredomes and ungodlinesse , before one step thou canst tread in ; therefore repent , and come and drink freely of our fountain , and eat of our rock , who liveth for ever : o! my hearts desire unto the lord is , that you may be saved from your sin , and purged from your iniquities , and be made clean by the blood of the lamb , before you return to the dust from whence you came , and shall be seen no more : for friends , there must be a laying down of the earthly , and as that is laid down , there is a receiving of the heavenly ; but if you live in sin , and die in sin , then is there no redemption from sin , sin separates from god ; the wa●●● of sin is death , and after death to judgement : hell is prepar●● for the wicked , and the worm which shall never die , and the fire that shall never be quenched , is the sinners portion , who lives and dies in sin ; for there is no repentance in the grave , nor no remissinn of sin after death , but as the tree falleth , so it lieth , as death leaveth you , judgement will find you ; and as the lightening shineth in the east unto the west , so is the coming of the son of man in his day upon all sinners : he will come as a thief in the night upon thee , then what secret corner hast thou to hide thee in ? or what remote place canst thou fly unto for shelter ? seeing our god is potent over sea and land , and his eye is over the whole world , and his hand is stretched over all living . o! the rocks and the mountains shall not cover thee , nor dens , nor holes , nor caves of the earth shall not shelter thee , but the lord will be avenged of thee , and plead with thee himself , who is a just god , and a saviour , and will give unto every man according as his works shall be , from whose presence the wicked must depart . o! blessed and happy for ever are all they who knows a redeeming from amongst men , and from a vain and a light conversation , by the precious blood of the lamb . o! give thanks to god fro ever , that he hath , and is giving you a possession in the durable inheritance , that never fadeth away ; you are built upon the rock of ages , never to be removed . o! let us dwell together in the unity of the spirit , and in the bond of love for ever , that we may stand for ever witnesses against this wicked and perverse generation , who have not the fear of god before their eyes , whom god will destroy as he did the old world , and they shall be as ashes under the soals of the righteous feet . o london ! in the presence of the lord god i declare unto thee , thy peace is not durable , neither will thy faith remain , it is as the raging sea , whose waves are up and down , and thou art tossed in thy mind , as a ship upon the sea , driven with a mighty wind ; thy hope is in man , and it faileth ; thy joy is dying , and will die away . o! therefore put thy trust in the living god , and not in man , whose breath is in his nostrils , that thou mayest be saved from the day of wrath , which will suddenly come upon the families of the earth : all nations shall partake of his wrath , and all tongues of his fury ; for all flesh hath corrupted its way before the lord , all flesh hath sinned , and come short of the glory of god , so all flesh must know the wrath of god executed upon the wicked , for the lord hath determined a consumption to come upon the whole earth ; therefore o earth , earth ! hear the word of the lord , and be thou separated from your uncleanness , and live before the lord , that all the dayes of thy appointed time , thou mayest wait till the change comes , for nothing but life will stand before the lord , who is immortal . and know this of a truth , that this is written in pure love to thy soul : o london ! the righteous is oppressed in thee , and the innocent cryeth in thy streets , by reason of oppression : o! feed the hungry , and cloath the naked , and hide not thy self from thy own flesh , for you are all made of one blood , and one mould , upon the face of the whole earth : he that saith he loves god , and doth not feed the hungry , and cloath the naked , and judge the cause of the poor and needy , he is a lyar , and doth not the truth . and know this ye judges , and rulers , and magistrates , that there is a judge above you which will call you to an account , and will judge you out of the book of conscience , and give you a full reward ; and you shall all know in the day when the lord rips off all coverings , and takes peace from the earth , that there is a deliverer in sion , which will deliver his righteous seed , and none shall hinder ; and although we are despised in thee , and hated by thee , yet the lord who is the everlasting councellor and prince of peace , he is our redeemer , who is the portion of our cup , and the lot of our inheritance , & we have none in heaven but him , nor upon earth that can deliver but he , & he wil plead our cause with them that hate us , and our innocency shall appear as the sun in her ful strength , & we shall be as a morning without clouds , when the lord shall arise , and take the honor to himself , and exalt his kingdome above the heavens , and his dominion above the stars , then shall jerusalem be the praise of the whole earth , and they shall rejoyce in her who now mourneth , and say one to another , come let us stand upon mount sion , and sit down upon the holyhill , for our god and his christ reigneth over all the whole earth . o! this is a blessed estate which the ●ighteous doth inherit ; but as for the wicked , they are as stubble throughly dried ; and the word of the lord is as a fire , and they must be burned up , and be shut without the gates of the city , where the lamb treads the wine-press of gods wrath . so in the fear of the lord repent , and amend thy life , least god sweep thee away into the pit of utter destruction , out of which there is no redemption . oh london ! the lord god of heaven and of earth , he is burdened with thy vain religion ; who maketh a profession of god , and of christ , and yet liveth in lust and vanity , pride and vain-glory , in swearing and curfing , and yet is covered with a covering which the lord will take away : o how doth gluttony abound in thee , rioting and sporting in the day time ! thou knowst not how almost to go along the streets , thou art so proud and haughty , and the poor in thee are ready to famish , for whose estate and condition my heart is pained within me , old and young , blind and lame , lieth in thy streets , and at thy masse-houses doors crying for bread , who are almost naked for want of cloathing , and fainting for want of bread , and yet thou canst passe by them in thy gaudy apparrel ; and our-stretched neck , with thy face decked with black spots , which are the marks of the whore , the beast , and the false prophet , which is not the attire of sarah , abrahams wife : thou knowest not what to eat , nor what to drink , nor wherewith to be cloathed , thy mind is so vain , and thy religion is so aiery ; and if any of these that are blind , or lame , or destitute of a being , asketh of thee a penny , or farthing , thou sayest thou hast it not for them . o! remember the lord will call thee to an account ; and truly a sad day it will be for thee , when he shall take thy peace away ; who hath lavishly spent gods creation upon thy lusts , and hath not distributed thy morsel to the poor , and to the needy , the light of christ in thy conscience condemns thee for thy not so doing , and from that thou canst not fly , that shall be thy condemnation for ever if thou hatest it , and thy salvation for ever , if thou lovest it . o! tremble and quake before the lord , ye sons of sodom , and daughters of gomorrah , who doth inhabit this mortal city which doth-corrupt , and will die away , your glory the lord will bring to nothing ; therefore keep to the light which condemns you , that an entrance into the immortal kingdome you may find : woe be unto all thy usurers , who hoardeth up the unrighteous mammon , and doth not lend to the poor and distressed , and saith , they have it not for them , the rust of their money in the day of judgement shall rise up against them , and gods swift witness in their own hearts shall condemn them which lives for ever ; therefore all ye usurers , soothsayers , and star-gazers , that inhabiteth this place , and elsewhere , repent , for gods plagues and judgements is to be executed upon you , and upon all that lendeth an ear unto you , you star-gazers and astrologers , who can discern the face of the sky , but doth not know the signs of the coming of the son of man , whose glorious appearance will discover your dark works that you act in the dark night , and tho night shall passe away , and you shall know a day of judgement , and see him whom you have pierced , of whom the sun , moon , and stars , bears testimony , and keepeth their station with god ; therefore its good for you to know the rod of god , to instruct you in his path , and to lead you to his kingdome , and this is the desire of my soul , that you may all inhabit peace , and rest with the king of heaven and earth : so know , that your day of visitation is now , the lord doth hold forth unto you mercy and peace , therefore imbrace it whilst it is tendred unto you , least you be shut out , and your day be sealed up . the lord is risen in sion , and is shining forth in the perfection of beauty and holinesse for ever : o! how glorious and beautiful are his garments ? and how lovely is his countenance unto all his sons and daughters , who have forsaken all to follow him , who is a man of sorrows , and well acquainted with grief ; who trampled upon all the glory of this world , the oni●k stones , and the gold of ophir was nothing unto him , neither are they any thing in comparison of him , for all who doth enjoy him , enjoyeth fulness , both of wisdome , and knowledge , prudence , and understanding ; he doth endow them with all those treasures which this empty world cannot afford ; he is not of this world , who is the seed , the light , the power of god , but he is heir of eternal peace , and in him are the families of the earth blessed , who doth deny themselves , and take up their daily crosse , and follow the seed , the angel of the new covenent , wheresoever he goeth ; it is they that are saved , who walketh in the light of life , and doth rejoyce in sufferings , tryals and tribulations , knowing that thorough these things they must enter into the lambs kingdome , and hereby may they know that they are in the way of god , for this is a remarkable token whereby they may know that they are in their spiritual journey ; if they are hated and persecuted of all men for righteousnesse sake , then are ye blessed of the most high god ? art thou halled out of the synagogues , and plucked before rulers , for the kingdom of heavens sake ? art thou made a prey of in the gate , for reproving sin and iniquity in the gate , and suffereth the enemy to plough long furrows upon thy ba●k , for the testimony of truths sake ? know this , thy reward is great in the kingdome of heaven ; and these are marks and tokens wherein thou mayest certainly know that thy journey is holy , and thy path is pure wherein thou treadest , where thy persecutors can by no means walk in , but they must own thee and thy life , which will slay the first nature , birth , and glory , and bring into the fools estate , that ye may truly be made wise , and endued with the treasure of wisdome , which liveth and abideth for ever . o! all ye my dear friends , that knoweth a bathing and washing , and a making white in the blood of the lamb , unto you doth my royal love flow forth from the fountain of life : o! ye are near and dear unto me , as in the fountain of love ye dwell , which knitteth our hearts together in one , which is christ , the way , the truth , and the life , unto whom none can come , but they who doth deny their own wills , their pleasures and delights , and bow to his sceptor which is swayed in righteousness : o! they must lay down their crowns at the feet of the immortal birth , the seed royal , which is a noble priesthood , which remaineth for ever , before they can have peace with him : therefore all ye lambs , and babes , and plants of god , in the lords power dwell , that you may be preserved in the day of tryal , which is coming to try all them that dwelleth upon the earth ; and in the hour of temptation , you may find bread in your own house , and water in your own well , which will satisfie your soul in the time of draught , that glory and honor you may render unto the lord , whose name is , i am , and there is none like him amongst all the gods , who saveth his people from their fine , and blotteth out their transgressions , who filleth both heaven and earth with his glory ; glory , and eternal honor , and everlasting dominion be ascribed vnto the god of my life , who is eternally pure , and as he is , so is his city , which is a habitation for all the followers of the lamb , the situation is righteous indeed , and is of gods own nature , which nature hath fallen man received a measure from the beautiful god to bring him out of sin , and transgression , and to redeem him wholly from the fallen estate , it is placed in man only and alone to redeem him from death to life , and to be his salvation , and satisfaction , or condemnation for ever ; and this is my witness in every man , and to this do i speak , and it shall arise and answer for me in the day of the lord ; and this is the seed that the lord hath left in the earth , in which seed the families of the earth is blessed , and in the seeds light shall all the nations that are saved walk in , and triumph in his name , which is called the word of god , by which the world was made , and the heavens was framed , who was in his fathers bosome before man was , or had a being upon the earth , and shall live and abide for ever , glory and thanks be given unto the lord , whose royal standard is set up in the earth , and whose reign is begun upon the earth , and whose tabernacle is with men , whose dwelling and abiding is with the sons and daughters of men : glory over all sea and land be given to the pure god , who searcheth ; and tryeth , and seeth the way of all flesh , and it s he that justifieth the righteous , and who is he that doth condemn , or lay any thing to the charge of gods elect ? it is the lamb of god that taketh away all sin , and in him is no sin , and if he condemneth , who can justifie ? therefore let all that are justified , and set free by the lamb , abide in their freedome , and live in the power and life of the birth immortal , that they may not be intangled again with the yoke of bondage , which is truly a yoke indeed , and heavier to be borne then it was at the first : for there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin unto such who have tasted of the word of god , and of the powers of the world to come , and afterwards looketh back to egypt , and to the goodlinesse of pharaohs house , such falleth short of a resting place , and dieth in the wildernesse , and leaveth an ill savour unto generations to come : but blessed and happy are all by sea and land , who abideth low in their measures of life given them , by the husband-man , who is lord over sea and land , and entereth into the good land , and seeth all to be turned out before them , and inherit the promise , and the kingdome without end , with caleb and joshud , who have fought a good fight , and lay down their heads in peace , and entred into rest with their fathers , who gained a good report , and are a good savour unto this day unto all that doth believe in the same gospel which was preached unto abraham , who saw the gospel , and believed in it : so all that are of faith , are of abraham , for his seed shall be multiplied as the stars of heaven , or the sand upon the sea shore for number , which is the seed of the kingdome of god , there is a numberlesse number that is redeemed and redeeming out of nations , tongues , and people , by the seed up to god and many there is , whose faces are turned towards sion , the city of our solemnity , there to praise the lord in that city ; the morning stars meet together , and the sons of god shoot for joy , and singeth halelujah to the highest ; the bridegroom is come , & he hath betrothed them to himself , who cannot but rejoyce ; his table is prepared , where the lambs and babes eateth , and is satisfied ; there is a river as clear as christal , which runneth softly , of which all drinketh freely , and is satisfied . o! here is fulness of joy to be reaped in this city , honor , glory , and dignity inhabiteth here : o! come hither all ye ignorant , unwise , and simple ones , who knows not a stay to your minds , nor a resting place for the soal of your feet , neither satisfaction for your souls : o! come and drink , and eat freely with us , without money and without price , for we have found him whom our souls loveth , who is the choicest of ten thousand , and the chiefest in the whole earth , he hath been exposed from amongst us for many years , but now is he come , contrary to the whole earths expectation , to visit and redeem his people , and to get himself a name in the earth : glory be to him who hath been as a stranger upon the earth for ages , and as a wayfaring man ; to tarr● for a night for generations , but glory for ever , he is well known in sion , for he hath comforted the mourners therein , and he hath revived the fainting spirit , and hath bound up the broken-hearted , the feeble knees hath he strengthened , the blind he causeth to see , and the lame to go upright , the leopard is cleansed , the dead is raised , the deaf heareth , the dumb speaketh , all this is done by sions king , in this the latter day , and our eyes hath seen it . o! what tongue is able to expresse the noble acts of our god : o! its unutterable and undeclarable , words are too short , declarations must end , but the life by which they are written , liveth in it self for ever and ever . o! all ye dear and tender ones , who doth abide either by sea or land , dwell in the pure life , in the single being , in the lovely estate , let not your minds be captivated by any created object , or visible thing , but feel the birth immortal to be brought forth , and reign over the world ; and you espoused to christ , children of the lamb , heirs of the world which is without end , let him be your beloved alone , who is light and life , beauty and strength , wisdome and prudence , altogether lovely and glorious , whose day is glorious and perfect , and all must be perfect that walks in it ; therefore be ye holy as he is holy , without which none shall see god , who is immutable , and dwelleth in everlasting burnings , no flesh can see him and live : o! the notable terrible day of the lord will suddenly come upon all slothful and disobedient ones , who idly spendeth away their present time , and hideth gods money in the earth , but an account one day must you all give , when the last trumpet shall sound ; then shall you come to judgement , the just to the resurrection of life , and the unjust to everlasting torments ; therefore be awakened all ye that have been long convinced of the truth of god ; arise and shake off the dust of the earth , plough up the fallow ground of your hearts with the power of god , let judgement be brought forth unto victory , let the sickle reap the earth , that the righteous branch may come forth , which you hold in bondage thorough your negligence and unbelief : o! dishonor the lord no longer with your out-side profession , which is as a shell without a kernel , which god will rent off , it will not cover you no longer , for it is deceit , and a hypocritical religion , which is covered over with fair words , and a fair gloss on the out-side , and within side is rottennesse and putrifying sores : o! this is loathsome in the sight of the lord ; woe be unto all from the lord god of heaven and earth , who holdeth the truth of god in unrighteousnesse : o! your coverings will be too narrow to cover you , and your beds will be too short to stretch your selves on , for the lord is come to torment you : o! the lake is prepared for you , that burneth for ever : o! what will you do , when the lord shall appear to strip you , and to uncrown you , and bereave you of all your mortal glory , and lay your honor in the dust , then without repentance there will be no enjoying of gods presence , which giveth life to the weary soul : o repent , repent ! ye aliens and strangers , who are yet without the knowledge of the pure god , and knows not an entrance into an undefiled being , which is made without hands : o! come and sit down where we have sate , abhorring our selves in dust and ashes , we have lain as they that have been dead of old , and our sorrow has been our sin , and our beauty hath been turned into ashes , and our glory as stubble , and our hour as the morning dew , and our wisdome as a shadow which hath been , and now is not : o consider ! all ye kings and princes , dukes and earls , lords and ladies , governours and magistrates , priests and jesuites , this will the lord do by you , as he hath done by us , he will lay your habitations wast , who respects not the person of any , but you shall sit as a widdow , that is , rebuked of husband and children , bemoaning her self ; even so shall you be : but if you are willing to endure this straight way , and narrow gate , wherein nothing that is of this world shall enter , but must be laid down ; and if you will deny your selves , and take up your daily crosse , and follow the light , whom you have grieved and wounded with your whoredomes and idolatry whithersoever he goeth , then shall you be with us , where we are , and eat and drink with us of the living bread and water of life , and see him who is invisible , who cannot be seen but by faith , and this faith purifies the heart , and maketh pure , as god is pure . o! come unto the fountain of life , and drink freely with us : o! christ hath invited all upon the whole face of the earth , poor and rich , to come into his banqueting house , and to eat freely of the bread of life , and to drink of the still waters of shilo , which satisfieth the hungry soul . o! come to our shepherd , who hath laid down his life for his sheep : o come ! and see how good he is , and where he feedeth his flock at noon-day ; o! come into his fold , who is all love , and life , and gaineth unto god the hungry soul , and reconcileth every tyred spirit which panteth after him , and blessed are all they who feeleth satisfaction with the lord , it is better then wine or oyl ; and all who joyneth issue with the seed of god , they know a more durable encrease , for they encrease in wisdome , purity , and holiness , and so dwelleth with the lord in their measures . o! all ye that have followed christ , the heir of life and salvation , and doth follow him in the straight way , and narrow gate , your portion is eternal , if you dwell therein , and look not out at the over-turnings of men , and their power , and what they may inflict upon you , or cause you to suffer hardships for your religion , which you profess in truth and righteousness , but look to the lord , who hath the hea●ts of all the sons and daughters of adam in his hand , and as a river of water he can turn them whither soever he will : therefore my dear beloved friends , who are friends of god , let us dwell together in the life immortal , and let us be compassed about with gods righteousness and strength for ever , that if the lord suffereth that we should suffer death for our religion which is pure , let us choose it rather then life , and joyfully , and heartily , and patiently imbrace it , and bear it , for our god is good , and in the midst of flames ( he hath ) and will be with us , and from the waters he will deliver us ; in the sixth trouble he hath been with us , and from the seventh he hath delivered us , glory be to him who is as a wall of brass round about us , and as a flame of fire he compasseth us about ; he was with the patriarchs in the deepest of their calamities ; the prophets in times past he upheld , and was their meat and drink , and in him they rejoyced , and with him they suffered , and finished their testimony in faithfulness ; he was unto the disciples , a stay , and a staff , salvation and righteousness , even their exceeding great reward ; their houses was filled with his life and power , he was a mouth of utterance unto them , he carried them thorough great tryals , he was their meat and drink , and they fed upon him in a weary land , even so can we truly say , that he hath been with us in a vast howling wilderness , in a strange land , and amongst strange people , who have not truly worshipped the god of heaven and earth , he hath been our stay and the upholder of our head in the day of battel : glory be to him who is our rock , who never leaved nor forsaked any that fears him , but he watereth them with the dew from heaven , and maketh them green as the grass , or tender plants ; he cloatheth them far beyond the lillies in the field , he giveth breath , and life , and length of dayes for ever in his sight ; therefore all who have known this cloathing , let it dwell with you for ever , and let your hearts be upright in his sight , your consciences exercised continually in the sight of god and men ; and the lord god of heaven and of earth preserve us all in all , and over all , and thorough all , up to himself : the grace of our lord jesus christ , which is perfect , and the peace which standeth for ever , keep your hearts and minds staid upon him for ever , out of all mortal and dying things . london the 16th of the 12th moneth , 1659. e. b. something after . o london ! who should●t be as a nursing mother unto thy nation , and a pattern and example unto all nations , for in thee and from thee doth the law proceed , and councel is given forth which should be pure , and thy law direct , whereby the just and innocent might be judged in righteousness ; thy judges and rulers should judge for god , and be guided by the just law of god in them , but for want of true judgement and equity the just is oppressed , and the innocent and harmless groaneth for want of righteous rulers and godly judges , and wholesom lawes . o london thou hast sacrificed upon the mountains unto sirange gods , and that 's cains sacrifice which the lord accepteth not , neither doth he regard your joy and mirth , for your joy is but for a moment saith the lord , but your sorrow is for ever and for ever , and your torment world without end , o! my soul lamenteth for thee , to see what an estate thou art in , all above the witness of the pure god , in ungodliness , lust , pride and wantonness , you spend gods creation upon your lusts , pride and vain glory ; o! let the seed of the lord arise in you , and condemn you and bear witness for me and the rest of us who are called and calling out of you , and are redeeming from amongst you up to god , and our souls is sorrowful for to see how you neglect the pure way of god . and likewise the day of your visitation , my heart did even bleed within me to see your sacrifices , knowing from whence it came , and whether it went , and to whom it was offered ; and i could have wept day and night to have seen the path of righteousness trodden down , and all trampling upon the seed of god , which lyeth low in you , some in drunkenness , others in swearing and taking the name of god in vain , some in pushing and haling and beating the lambs of god , and all in disorder dishonouring of god , on the 21th of the 12th month , 1659. your evil works and words did exceed in that day and night , and it shall rise up in judgement against you , that day and night shall you remember with all the rest of your time ill spent , to your torment and utter overthrowing ; and know this , that god will call you to judgement , and give you your portion with the hypocrites , unless you repent and amend your lives ; therefore every one who hath any true desires after the lord , be ye separated from the wickedness that is acted in this city , and from the actors of it , that you may find your desires to be satisfied , & your souls raised up out of the pit , & saveth from the condemnation which is coming upon all workers of iniquity ; the lord spareth and suffereth but for a time , until he hath gathered his remnant from amongst you , and made up his jewels which shall live in his house for ever , then desolation and misery and a woful cry shall be heard in your streets , and your houses shall be left unto you desolate , and your idols temples shall be a habitation for owls and birds , the satyrs shall dance there , they shall be a habitation for every unclean spirit , your priests shall preach no more , & your diviners shal go mad , god wil dry up the tongue of the egyptian sea , who hath opened a door of mercy in this city in due season , and hath given you yet a day to repent in , but remember thy day will be over , as thy sisters sodoms and gomorrahs , their time was spent , and the day of their visitation is passed , the lord spared the righteous , even just lot , whose soul was grieved with the ungodly conversation of the wicked ; even so is ours , this day with the unjust and impure conversation of thee o london : but ju●t is our god and righteous for evermore , who is able to deliver us , and hath delivered us out of the flames which sha●● come upon you our god beholdeth all your unjust proceedings with his seed , for which he will give you your reward , who is a just god , and a saviour ; and wo from the lord god be unto all the magistrates and rulers of this city , who doth not rule yet in righteousness ; and wo from the lord be unto all masters and mistresses that doth inhabit this place before mentioned , who doth not order their families in the fear of god , nor are not in the fear nor power themselves , who one day shall know another master who will give you a just reward according as your works shall be , who is gods righteousness , and to whom all power in heaven and earth is given , and it is he alone that will judge this bloudy city with all the families and kindreds of the whole earth , and they shall not escape his righteous judgements , although thou maist cry for the rocks and the mountains to cover thee , and thy religion to hide thee from the wrath of god , but it cannot be , for his eye , whom we serve , is over the whole world , and his arm of power is stretched over thee with a sword which is fourbished in his hand , which will cut down and utterly destroy thy priests in thee , who divineth for money , and preacheth for filthy lucre , and love give ye , which feedeth of the fat and cloatheth with the wool and makes merchandize of souls with fair words ; gods vengeance , wo and wrath is their portion , and they shall fall by the sword of the living god , thy judges and rulers shall be slain in the day that the lord visiteth thee in the fierceness of his wrath , for his soul is burthened with thee , and his spirit is grieved every moment of time with thy filthy conversation ; therefore repent , for the day is coming , and thy time of torment and misery hasteneth apace , thy condemnation slumbereth not , thou hast forgotten good dayes without number , and thou art yet in the land of forgetfulness , thy ●imes testifieth against thee , and thy iniquities is gone over thy head , and thy transgressions is without number , even as the stars in the firmament , and thy ungodliness before the lord is for multitude as the sands of the sea shore , thou ha●t corrupted thy way before the lord , and art fallen short of the glory of the lord ; therefore return to the measure of gods spirit , that thou mai●t know amendment of life and an inheritance in another city before thou art dispossessed of this city : and peace and re●t , purity and joy may possess thy house , and the new heaven and the new earth thou maist witness , and a feeding upon the bread of life that maketh truly wise , and a drinking of the water of life which truly satisfieth the immortal soul ; this must thou witness if ever thou wilt enjoy the pure habitation of god , or sit down upon his holy hill which is beautiful indeed before thou returns to the d●●t from whence thou camest , there is the center of the earthly ; the center of the heavenly is unmortal and dwelleth in immortality , and as thou serve●t and obeyest , and joineth issue with this , it will lead thee up to god the saviour and redeemer of thy soul , where the earthly center and the first birth and nature cannot enter , there is a great gulf and separation between the two seeds and the two natures , the one delighteth to ser●e the lord , and it is its nature to work , righteousness and holiness for ever , and it cannot join with the cursed the other is continually prone to do wickedness , and it leadeth in drunkenness , lying , swearing and d●ssembling , cheating and cozening , and it cannot do good , neither shall it have a habitation with abels nature , who sacrificed upon gods altar a sacrifice of praise , and the lord had regard unto to it : so if thou joyneth with hagars seed , the bond-woman , thou shalt not inherit the durable possession ; therefore as thou lovest the good of thy soul , and thy immortal life , return to that which yet condemns thee , which is the light of christ , and it is pure and immortal , and know it to justifie thee , for the spirit of the pure god will not alwayes strive with thee , no more then it d●d with the old world : o thou city of london ! remember how the lord overtook the old world in their evil deeds , he came upon them as a thief in the night , when they little thought of him , he took them eating and drinking , marrying , and giving in marriage , and he repented that ever he made man upon the earth , and he overtu●ned them in his fiery wrath , and in his fiery indignation , he spared not jerusalem , wherein his temple was built ; and dost thou think that the lord will spare thee ? i am afraid the lord will overturn thee in flames of fire , as he did them in their gain-sayings : therefore amend thy life while it is to day , and prize the short moment of time which thou hast yet to spend , least god cast thee into hell , which is prepared for the wicked and abominable . and this is my councel unto thee , whether thou wilt receive it , yea or nay : it is good , and the same which the apostles gave to the ungodly in that day , and to the scribes and pharisees , who were learned men , whose zeal did far exceed thine in this thy day ; and this is it , that thou return to the spirit of god which is in thee , and be guided by it , and led with it , into righteousness , meekness , and long-suffering , and walk in the light whilst you have the light , for the night will come , wherein no man can work ; but in this glorious day the son worketh , and the father worketh , therefore let him not work in vain , but let the spirit of the pure god work down , and lead out of all that 's contrary to god , that so life over death may reign in thee . o! that thou wert like the noble bereans , that searched the scripture in their day , and if thou wouldst do so with the same spirit that gave them forth , then wouldst thou see clearly that we are in the way of god , and live the life of the scriptures , and then wouldst thou joyn issue with us , and leave thy dumb idle shepherds , which indeed are greedy dumb dogs , and can never have enough , and come to christ , whom god hath given for a leader and a commander to his people , and to be salvation to the ends of the earth , who is the physitian and the bishop of the soul , who leadeth into the fold immortal , where he feedeth his flock at noon-day , in the heat of persecution , and in the day of fiery tryals , he is a sure hiding place , his name is a strong tower , the righteous fly thereinto , and are saved ;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng london (england) -fire, 1666. broadsides -england -london -17th century 2008-03 tcp assigned for keying and markup 2008-07 spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images 2008-08 mona logarbo sampled and proofread 2008-08 mona logarbo text and markup reviewed and edited 2008-09 pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion charles r. his maiesty in his princely compassion and very tender care , taking into consideration the distressed condition of many his good subjects , whom the late dreadful and dismal fire hath made destitute of habitations , and exposed to many exigencies and necessities ;

who alwaies had the parliament in an odious memory for the great things god hath done by them , and the little hopes they have of ever prevailing against their industry and prudence ; yet we cannot in the least suspect , that you could ( in that action ) have before your eys the contentment of your malitious and implacable enemies ; but rather a cordial and sincere intention of settling those things so long contended for , by a speedier hand then that of the parliament , ( of whose grave , slow , pace you were impatient ) exspecting thereby to give full satisfaction to all your friends and adherents , to the uniting of them the firmlier to you . other ends then these , we hope could not enter into the hearts of many of you ; and therefore , taking this to be the case , and knowing that experience is the best teacher , we desire leave to observe how little the successe hath hitherto answered your ends . it is visible to all that have any occasion to converse with your enemies , that they are exceedingly rejoyced at your late transactions , not doubting , but by the division of your friends , to have an opportunity to destroy both you and them . and it is also as visible , that your friends are dissatisfied , not being able to go along with you in your present undertakings ; and that , not only as they are without any warrantable call made out to them , but also , as they are against that acknowledged principle of all just powers , being ( under god ) originally in the people , and derived from them ; beyond which , we cannot be free to act , or own any thing for legal or unusurped ; knowing , that what is settled by a party , will alwaies be unstable , and subject to the wills , and alterations of that party ; especially , when it hath the sword , as the restauration of the parliament , though done with the greatest acknowledgment of duty imaginable , is now made use of by many ( though weakly ) for the justification of the late interruption . we cannot also , but in taking notice that you having already spent near half as much time upon the government alone , without bringing any thing to maturity , as the parliament did in that and all other affairs , hope you are ( to the vindication of them ) convinced of the greatness and difficulty of the work . and lastly , we may observe , that if by rooting up foundations you must necessarily give the common enemie a great advantage , you ought to be assured of a party able to oppose him ; and that if all your friends united , be a body small enough , for that end , you cannot rationally conceive that less then half will be sufficient to maintaine your quarrell , now your enemies are strengthened with the addition of france and spain , who without doubt are at this present vigorously at work . we might say much more upon this subject , but thinking it needless to persons who will be equally concerned with us in any common calamity , we shall not trouble you further then upon the whole to desire ( which we do with hearts full of sorrow and feare ) that since ( as we do assert ) the restless adversary is not likely to be idle ; that he cannot in all probability be opposed but by the union of your friends ; that there can be no union without restoring foundations ; that the interuption of government cannot be continued without weakening your hands to the strengthening those of your enemies ) that as the only way left us for our preservation you would speedily ( least otherwise it be too late ) withdraw the force from the parliament house door , leaving the members lately interrupted to return to the discharge of their trust in setleing the destracted affairs of this commonwealth , and making provision for future parliaments ;

but the end is not attainable without the use , means , and avoiding that which is of a contrary importance . some few things are here pointed at , which have occasioned disturbance in families , hatred and animosity among neighbours , disorders in the city , oppression and violence in the nation . that such things may not happen amongst us any more , is the design of this paper , and shall be the constant and hearty prayers of the author . it behooves every good citizen to have a watchful eye towards such persons and actions as would cast scorn and contempt upon the meanest instrument of government . it is rare if any man be made desperately wicked at once . evil is propagated by degrees . hard thoughts of our superiour , are often followed with hatred , and after with sedition and rebellion , great things taking their rise from small and insensible beginnings . a cloud of the bigness of a hand , spreads the face of the heavens . thus a disobedient servant proves a bad master , and a worse citizen . if we slacken in the least the chain of our duty , the devil quickly takes advantage . some men who at first detested rebellion , have laughed and talked themselves into disobedience , for which , perhaps , being worthily punished , hath so exasperated their minds , so as nothing wanted for revenge , but an opportunity . others there be , whose great felicity lies in hearing and telling news : these are a sort of busie-bodies , and men for the most part , of small imployment , and as little discretion , that receive all they hear ( especially such things as will please their party ) without examining the probability of its being true or false ; and having heard some odd story , go ( big with it ) to the next club , where it is related with abundance of formality ; and if it be any thing relating to the government , it is ten to one but some surmise or sad descant , as bad as malice can invent , is added over and above . a ready way to introduce a disaffection toward those in authority , and prepare mens minds for disobedience and rebellion : therefore such malapert talkers , who are always finding fault , and like flies , are apt to dwell upon every sore ought to be brow-beaten , scorned , and opposed by every honest citizen , as the bane of society , and pests of the commonwealth . let us all endeavour to live like men , and christians , and boldly reprove such as offer to put affronts and contempts upon authority : a far readier way to cure their itching malady , than by taking pleasure in their fooleries and impertinencies . let every man in his station pursue those things that make for peace . we are all members of one city , subjects of one kingdom : all embarked in the same vessel , and if that suffers shipwrack , none can promise immunity to themselves . in a word , let us fear god , honour the king , and not meddle with those that are given to change . there is also another sort of men among us , so well conceited as to think themselves fit to be sharers in the government , and are always complaining that something is amiss . men of petulant testy humours , and factious spirits , never contented , never pleased . is it not a shame to think what a foolish and ridiculous attempt was lately made to introduce an officer among us ? did they fansie the government would be trickt into a sheriff ? what was the man ? how qualified , that such sinister and undue practices were used about his election ? i believe but few men will bespeak him master of any extraordinary measure of reason , judgment or piety . as for his estate , that was granted deficient , even by his own faction , as appears by their subscriptions towards the upholding of his grandeur . certainly they have need of a bird that give a groat for an owl ! what then ? why the truth is , though nothing can be more ridiculous than empty boldness , yet this mans confident and seditious speaking , which made him obnoxious to the law , hath advanced his reputation with some men to an high rate , who otherwise might have passed along unobserved . is this an office to be carried on with contribution ? is it not one of the highest places of trust in this great city ? ought not he , whoever is elected to that dignity , to be able to bear the charge without auxiliaries , as well for his own security as the cities honour ? for should he fail in that particular , he must not onely be ruined , but the office fall lame by the way . yet this man , till he saw his party confounded , offered without blushing to accept it . it is an office of that trust , as ought to be committed to the care of none but persons of known integrity , religion , and honesty , that in times of danger and disorder , may keep the peace , and not encourage sedition and tumult : one firm in his allegiance to his majesty , and a true protestant according to the church of england . what design these men had in offering their purses so freely toward setting up this puppet sheriff , god and their own hearts onely know ; but certainly it hath an ill aspect , for that during his office he must have been pensioner to the meanest trades-man of his party . some few quakers afforded him their votes , but their frugality and principles , i suppose , would hardly , allow them to club toward feasting or fine clothes . whatsoever their end was , they are not to be approved , who seek to acquire good ends by bad means ; and in this essay they shewed the popish party a new device ( though they have already more tricks than are good ) by subscriptions and cabals to introduce some of their favourites into places of honour and trust . consider the danger and inconvenience that ariseth from the multitude of pamphlets that are published every day , filled with lies and falshood , to the dishonour of god and religion : containing base and unworthy reflections upon most men of the greatest authority in the nation , not sparing at some turns ( though in cunning and canting terms ) the person and government of his sacred majesty . are not all publick actions turned into ridicule by these petty scriblers , who have hardly bread to eat , but what they receive for their weekly copy ? do we not all know that not long since poor robins intelligence was weekly published , where the author took upon him to make a laughing-stock of any person , to whom he was prompted , either by money or malice , or to fill up an empty space in his pamphlet ? and though he forbore to name the persons , yet pointed at them by such notes and characters , as they were easily known by any that were of the neighbourhood , to the great disturbance of families and breach of charity among citizens , till for abusing a person of honour , authority took occasion to chastize his insolence by stopping the press : which particulars , as to him , had been omitted , but that he , or such another , hath , and still doth take upon him to traduce and asperse the justice of the nation , in unworthy and unseemly terms , not caring whether the matter be true or false , so it will help to sell the book . it is true the lord major hath taken some care about those pamphlets , but still there remains a duty upon every private citizen that may tend much to suppressing the mischiefs thereby arising : for if in stead of reading them with delight and complacency , they and their authors were discountenanced , it would contribute much to the quiet and tranquility of the city and nation . let each man observe this decorum , and for want of reward , those that write them would soon be compelled to turn their pens to some honester imployment . it is not small trouble to men that are peaceably disposed , to see how eagerly the multitude pursue those mischievous vanities which commonly the sharper and more satyrical they are against those in place and authority , find the most ready and approved reception , though to speak plain , it is a certain indication of a depraved constitution , when men are better pleased with things sowre and crude , than with what affords wholesom nutriment . and the youth of this city , with some others , who are but children in understanding , are as it were insensibly tainted with dislike of the government , by receiving those seeds of sedition which afterwards afford an harvest too plentiful , and upon every occasion and opportunity is ready to break forth into open rebellion against those , whom by the law of nature and religion they are bound to obey , esteem , and honour . for my own part i am as deeply sensible of the late horrid and damnable plot against the person of his sacred majesty , and the protestant religion as any man , and am verily persuaded the king himself , and those about him , are sufficiently satisfied how industriously it hath been carried on , contrived , and fomented by the romish emissaries both at home and abroad . but withall , i do profess , i think it our greatest prudence and duty to leave the prosecution of those villanous conspirators to his majesty , and those whom he is pleased to authorize for that purpose , and not for us to meddle with censuring their proceedings , either for method , place , or time , but to rest satisfied with what they shall think fit to do in the matter , lest we be found among the number of those who are heady , high-minded , and speak evil of dignities , and that would rob the king of his diadem . for what is it less , if we cry out that those who sit at the helm are either ignorant , or abettors , or favourers of such horrid designs ; in the one case we presume our selves fitter to govern than they ; and in the other , we render them , so much as in us lies , odious to all men . we all know the romanists have been busie ever since the reformation , to make us again taste of their colocinths and gourds , yet through the goodness of god , and the prudence of our governours their most secret plots have been discovered , their designs baffled , and all their attempts proved the ruine of the contrivers . neither have they been yet so formidable , as to offer at any acts of open hostility , unless it can be said they made the presbyterians and independents their drudges in the late . times to do their work . and if so , when ever you see them again labouring at the same oar , conclude they are still serving the ends of the same masters , or setting up for themselves . and here it will not be amiss to consider how things stand now , and what motives were frequently used for introducing the late unnatural war. did not the factious of those times seduce the people , by making them believe the late king , of blessed memory , was inclined to popery , or at least a favourer of it ? were not fears and jealousies the main engines used by those bloody miscreants to serve their turns ? and is there not strong presumptions that the same things are endeavoured by the same sort of men to be acted over again ? is it not daily inculcated what danger we are in from the papists , and many a dreadful story told of slavery , popery , tyranny , and arbitrary government , and god knows what ? does any man think that the magistrates are swallowed up in a supine negligence ? hath his majesty , think you , no care of us , nor of himself ? hath he not always with much fervor protested his adherence to the protestant religion ? did he not graciously offer the last parliament to sign any bill they should frame for security thereof after his decease ? is he then so zealous for its preservation after his death , and shall we imagine he will not protect us in the profession of it during his happy reign ? ( which god long continue . ) away then with these fears and jealousies which are fomented by men of ambitious designs , turbulent spirits , and aspiring minds . look upon them all as tricks of the old trade . did his majesty ever do any thing that looked like betraying us into slavery ? for gods sake , sirs , consider whither we are going ; let us not be undone again by the same methods we were before . are there not some at this day that long to be fingering the crown-lands , and bishops revenues . be not ensnared with their wicked contrivances , and specious pretences ; and let not us deny that to our soveraign , which by the common suffrages of christ and his apostles was awarded to heathen emperours . but it may be said , we are yet in danger of being out-witted by the jesuites and their bloody crew , and the late plot is not yet over . it is true , we may yet be subject to some effects of their malice and fury . but we use to say , when a distemper is once discovered , it is half cured . have not we been hitherto delivered from those lions and bears ? they contrive , but god disappoints ; and if their plotting and designing , though it takes not effect , shall continually fill us with fears and jealousies , how much more should every man be filled with affrightment at the least appearance of that spirit which ruled in the hearts of those children of disobedience in the beginning of our late troubles ? shall these men still impose upon us such dreadful apprehensions of those , whose designs have hitherto been blasted , and must we be persuaded that we are out of all danger from those who have so far succeeded in their attempts , as to subvert a flourishing kingdom , and overthrow both religion and property ? perhaps if these things were well considered , we should not be so easily cajoled by them , whose great cry is for liberty , when indeed they mean nothing more than anarchy and confusion ; against popery , while they mean episcopacy ; that while we are staring at the romish wolf , we may be surprized by the northern bear. we have had of late some instances of timultuary proposals and applications , that fell little short of the old story of venn with his mermydons , as his late majesty was pleased to express it ; which was onely an essay of the strengh of that party that cast us formerly into confusion . but they were seasonably check : both by the authority and good affections of the city , to the confusion of their hopes and designs . is not this like absalom in the gate ? is not this the way to amuse and fright men from their trade and business ? and in effect to cry , as of old , to your tents , o israel ? it is a dangerous thing to affect popularity , and to talk of papists in masquerade . but unless we had better marks whereby to distinguish those sort of men , it can onely serve as an odious term to be fixt upon whom himself and his party pleases ; and when time serves , expose them to the fury of an untutoured zeal , and to be used as malignant , delinquent and popishly affected , were of late ; which had no other effect , but sequestring the estates , and ruining the families of persons so stigmatized ; though indeed they onely were the true lovers of the protestant religion , their king , and country . we are not to account a vote of the house of commons to have the authority of a law , ( as some would have a late vote to be , ) when as ( the parliament being dissolved ) it signifies ) just nothing as to the matter of law , though it was an honest and excellent testimony of their zeal for the preservation of his majesties person , and the protestant religion ; for which the whole nation is bound to give them thanks , but i hope we shall never live to see a vote , no nor an ordinance neither , pass for a law ; and i believe this did not speak the sense of the house : and as little did the late out-cry speak the sense of the city , as appears in this , that there are not ten men to be found that will own the action . beside that , the faction was over-born by a majority of honest men . i have no purpose to reflect upon any mans person . my design is onely to caution my fellow-citizens , not to have a hand in any action that looks like faction and disorder , for from little sparks , many times , are kindled mighty flames : and solomon bids us , shun the appearance of evil . frailty and imperfection is justly inscribed on all things sublunary . yet if we could suppose a system of rules and laws infallible , even this could not free the government from miscarriages , it being morally impossible among such a multitude of subordinate officers ( of necessity to be used ) that all should be furnished with wisdom and integrity sufficient for discharge of their duty , so that there will always be cause of complaint , but no man can say , that such things will discharge the subjects from their duty . as to the constitution of our government , it hath been reckoned the best in the world ; and for the administration , i dare appeal to any man , whether there is not more rigour and severity , heavier taxes and impositions laid upon the people in the most flourishing christian kingdom in the world , by three parts in four , than ever we have yet met with , unless in the late times of defection . is any thing imposed upon us ( which to remedy ) will make amends for tumult and disorder , or any danger threatned , or like to befall us , that can equal the mischief and inconvenience of a civil war. consider this , fellow-citizens , and let not ambitious men purchase their advancement with the price of your bloud and treasure . they may contrive with their heads till their hearts ake , but without help of your hands , all their project will fall to the ground . i beseech you therefore stand fast in your duty to god , allegiance to the king and the government established by law. to the first you are obliged by nature and religion ; to the second , by religion and oath ; to the last , by prudence and interest . it may be said by the dissenters from the church of england , that they are willing to obey his majesty , and observe the law in all civil matters , but in ecclesiastical affairs , and episcopacy , they will not , they cannot yield obedience . my business is not to dispute the point , but to persuade to peace , and to warn you of such men as are like to disturb it . let is be considered that episcopacy hath received the same civil sanction with those laws that concern liberty and property . it is adapted into the constitution of the government . would they have his majesty abolish episcopacy by his own power ? surely this would be to exalt prerogative with a witness ; and ( as themselves would say in other cases ) contrary to magna charta . if not , let them cease their murmurs , till some parliament comes that will pull down that , and set up a better , if they can tell where to find it . i confess if any man purely out of conscience refuseth to conform , and the laws against it rigorously executed , his circumstances are hard . but is that our case ? is not every man suffered to be as good as he will ? doth not the clemency of our king admit every man to hear and preach where they please ? to follow their own pastors , and their own discipline ? and after all this , do you hear men cry out against the government , the bishops , and the clergy , men of honour and dignity in the church , persons against whom they have no exceptions , but their office and revenues , persecuting them with the most vile and unsavoury language their malice can invent . and is this out of conscience too ? can any man think he that shuns a surplice , but can easily swallow a lie , that exclaims against the common-prayer , yet is full of envy , and hatred , is uncharitable to his neighbour , and constantly replenished with scurrilous and immoral expressions against every one that treads not in his path : that this is the effect of a tender conscience . fly then the society of this sort of men , for whatsoever their specious pretences may be , their thirst is after domination and plunder . those that trampled upon the mitre overthrew the crown , monarchy and episcopacy both fell by the same hand : therefore it is not amiss to mind you once more of solomons advice , fear god , honour the king , and meddle not with those that are given to change . when you reflect upon the methods taken in the beginning of the late wars by an ill-spirited sort of men , whose delight was in disorder , and aimed at gainful fishing , if they could but once trouble the waters , that their first endeavour was to raise a dislike against the person and government of the best of kings , and how the grand engineers stirred up the citizens and apprentices to popular tumults , whereby his majesty was invaded , and through fear and force , banished from his palaces , cities , his consort , his royal children and family , and at last himself most barbarously murthered . what contrivance , and by whom carried on ? broils raised in scotland , the better to distress his majesty , and after all this and much more , not to be mentioned without the extreamest horror and detestation ; how the actors thereof were unmasked , their persons and designs discovered , their several governments under their most politick establishment shaken to pieces as frequently as formed , and at last both the one and the other , not by humane prudence , but by the meer hand of god , destroyed and confounded . in all which mutations this city felt most constant pains and afflictions ; and the whole nation , after all the vast expence of blood and treasure , had purchased to themselves , nothing but chains and fetters . when , i say , you reflect upon these things , it must needs excite your singular care to preserve your selves from a subjection to the designs of such men , as may have hopes to lead us again into the like defection and inconvenience , and to be afraid of any thing that hath a tendency that way . finis . london looke backe at that yeare of yeares 1625 and looke forvvard, vpon this yeare 1630 / written not to terrifie, but to comfort. dekker, thomas, ca. 1572-1632. 1630 approx. 33 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 10 1-bit group-iv tiff page images. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ; oxford (uk) : 2003-05 (eebo-tcp phase 1). a06271 stc 16755 estc s2796 24646668 ocm 24646668 27850 this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons 0 1.0 universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

an angell came , and held the sword from striking : so that the waues or death fell in a short time , as fast as before they swelld vp , to our confusion : mercy stood at the church doores , and suffered but a few coffins to come in : and this was the most wonderfull change of all the rest . this was a change , worthy to bee set ouer euery doore in letters of gold , as before red ▪ painted crosses stood there , turning cittizens to runn-awayes . but a white ●lagge was held out in signe of truce ;

after punishment : mercy as you heard b●fore , came downe : when the deluge was p●st , a raine-bow was seene : martyrdome went before , and glory with a crowne of starres immediately followed . to dye is held fearefull : and the graue hath many formidable shapes . a prisoner being drag'd to a iayle , out of vvhich hee can neuer be deliuered , may truely call his chamber , his liuing graue , where his owne sorrowes and the cruelty of creditors , bury him . they , who with fearefull labour , maintaine life by digging vnder-ground , goe daily to their graue ; so doe all traytors that lay traynes to blow vp their k. and countre● : so doe all those whose blacke consciences pr●ck them on to dige pitts for others , into which they fall then solues . but to open a graue as it is indeede , the graue is our last inne , and a poore wooden coffin our fairest lodging roome . no : the graue is not our inne , ( where we may lie to night and be gon to morrow ) but it is our standing house , it is a perpetuity , our inheritance for euer : a peece of ground ( with a litle garden in it , fiue or sixe foot long , full of flowres and herbes , purchas'd for v● and our posterity , at the deerest income in the world the losse of life . the world is our common inne , in which wee haue no certaine abyding : it stands in the road-way for all pass●ngers ; and wither we be vpon speed , or goe slowly on foot , sure we are that all our iourneyes are to the land of death , and that 's the graue . a sicke-mans bed is the gate or first yard to this inne , where death at our first arriuall stands like the chamberlaine to bid you welcome , and is so bold , as to aske if you will alight , and he will shew you a lodging . in this great yeare of contagion , ( i meane 1625. ) whē the bell man of the citty ( sicknesse ) beate at euery dore , there was one who whilst he lay in his graue ( his death-bed as he accounted it : ) yet afterwards he recouered , reported to his friends he beheld strange apparitions . he saw a purchas'd sessions ; the iudge was terrible : in his hand , lightning in his voyce , thunder : after thousands were cast , and condemn'd to dye , ( sayd this sicke man ) i saw my selfe a prisoner , and cal'd to the barre : the iudge looking sternly vpon mee , was angry : my offences ( being read to me ) were heauy , my accusers many ; what could i doe but pleade guilty ! and falling on my knees , with hands held vp , cry for mercy . teares , sighes , and anguishes of soule , speaking hard for me , the iudge melted in compassion , signed a repriue , sau'd me from death , and set me free . o in what a pittifull state had i beene else ! for my conscience araigned me , my owne tongue accus'd mee , my owne guilt condemn'd mee : yet the mercy of the iudge sau'd mee . in this graue i lay , my memory being dead , my sences buried , my spirits couered with earthly weaknesses , and all the faculties of my soule , cold as the clay into which i was to be turned . yet loe ! i was called out of this graue ; i quickned and reuiued : seeing then that albeit death was about to thrust mee downe with one hand , yet life gentley pluckt me vp by the other , what did i but looke back● at the horror which had beset me round ! i did not onely looke backe but i looked forward at the happinesse comming toward mee , which with spred armes i embraced : neither did i onely looke forward , but i looked vpward to heauen . had i not reason to pay my heauenly ph●sitian with an humble & hearty thankes-giuing ! i did so . haue i not reason to put al others , ( that either t● is yeare or in any yeare to come , shall be call'd to the same iudgment-seat ) in minde of their deliuerance ! wee , being ( at least we ought to be ) christs followers , vse as he did to giue thankes before we breake our bread : and when we are satisfied , he is not satisfied , vnlesse wee pay him , thankes agen , thankes ! that 's all : poore is that good turne which is not worth goda●ercy : that benefit withers , which is not warm'd by the breath of the receiuer . here , leaue we our ●icke-man , well recouered , and singing holy ditties for his restoring : let vs now agen looke backe , and stedf●stly fix our eyes , vpon the ●errible face of that former wond●rfull yeare . how many in that swallowing sea of contagion , were strucke with dreadfull calentures , and madnes of the braines ! rauing , raging and rayling : yea cursing god to his face ! and who had greater cause to register vp his mercy , in fetching them out of such a hell , then they ? how many did then , with iob ( through the anguish of their soar●s ) wish that the day might perish in vvhich they were borne ! yet some at the same time being recouered did not onely not send vp prayers and prailes for their safety , but hauing tasted of the f●ll cup of gods mercy , they agen did te●pt , his iustice. if drunkards before their sickenesse , they were ten times worse , after they were well . they were not good , for ioy they grevv vnto strength , but being perfectly hea●thfull , vvere madd in their heartes that their purses were too weake to maintain thē in their old riots . what would not such haue ventur'd vpon , but that poue●ty gaue them lame hands . these people had a minde to cheate god by thinking they owed him nothing : but god stop't them in their carrecre ; for seeing no amendment in them , after they had beene smitten downe once or twice , at the third blow he struck them into earth . to close vp this sad feast , to which none but wormes were invited : let vs looke onely once more backe , at this , all-conquerin● yeare , 1625. and remember that preaching in many churches , was in the heate of the battails , forced to fly : law , was at a non-plus . traficke cast ouer-board , trading in the citty lay bed-ridde , and in the countrey ●orely shaken vvith an ague . remember o you cittizens , that our schooles then lock'd out learning , ( a wound to your children ; ) that your seruants got little ( a bruze to your family ! ) that your selues spent much , and many of your stockes vvere almost vvasted to nothing : ( a mayme to the citty ) but then aftervvards on the sudden , to see all this dis●oynted buildings , put orderly into frame agen ! vvas there not great reason to reioyce ? when that mighty number of 5000. and odde , in london , and round about vvere carryed on mens shoulders to their last home , what glory is due to the diuine mercy ! that wee ( vvho now vvalke vp and downe the streets , ) liue ! nay , not onely liue in health but liue ! hauing been layd in deaths lappe , full of sores , of feauers , of frenzes , yet are now healed in body and cured ●n minde . had euery man , and woman , as many voices as birdes haue notes : all of them ought to be singing from morne to night , praises , hymnes , and honours to this almightie iohouah . are you not wearied , thus long with looking backe , turne your heades therefore round , and now looke forward ▪ looke not ( as all this while you haue done ) through perspectiue-glasses , to make obiects afarre off , appeare as if they vvere neere you , but looke vvith full eyes , at those presentations , vvhich are directly now before you . looke forvvard as the men of genazaret did , who bringing all the sicke in the countrey to christ , besought him , that they might touch the hemme of his garment onely . looke forvvard , as the cananitish woman did who cryed alovvd to christ , saying : haue mercy on mee o lord , thou sonne of dauid ; my daughter is miserably vexed vvith a deuill . christ sayd nothing at first : hee put her by once or twice , but see hovv the key of importunity , can open the very gates of heauen ! her incessant intreaties , won●e him at length to say , ● woman , great is thy faith , bee it to thee as thou desirest , and her daughter was made whole at that houre . looke forward as the fiue wise virgins did , to fill your lampes with oyle , and expect the comming of the bridegroome . when open warre is denounced against a nation , they ( albeit before they slept in security , and lay drown'd in sensuall streames ) yet then awaken , they start vp , and looke forward for their armour , lest the enemy should come vpon them vnprouided . to looke forward is to see where the fire is giuen to the cannon , and so that weake part , which lyes subiect to battry , is fortified for resistance . looke forward therefore now ; for now the drumme of death is beating vp : the cannon of the pestilence does not yet discharge , but the small shot playes night and day , vpon the suburbes : and hath sent seauē bullets singing into the citty . the arrowes fly ouer our heades and hit so●e , though they as yet misse vs ; but none knowes how soone the strong archer , may draw his bow , and clea●e our very heartes ▪ looke forward howsoeuer , and looke vp with open eyes , vnder your sheildes to receiue them as they come flying , lest they peirce you quit through , & nayle you to destructiō . this world is a schoole , wee are gods schollers ; our schoole-master has taken vp ( this yeare ) as yet , but the twigge of a rodde , in comparison of that bundle of roddes hee vsed in that yeare 1625. he shakes the twigg at vs , and a few ( of the lower formes in the schoole ) feele the smart , but the head schollers that sit in the higher formes , doe not as yet so much as tremble . many are preparing to breake vp schoole and steale into the countrey : but take heed , and looke forward on the booke , which your schoole-master sets you to reade : for if hee findes you not perfect in your lessons ; hee is binding the rodde in his hand , harder and harder , and bee sure ( when hee strikes ) to bee payd soundly . the bell tolles in a few places , but heartes ake in many . is sicknesse come to thy doore ! hath it knock't there ? and is it entred ? there are many good bookes set forth , to driue backe infection , or if it cannot be driuen away , instructions are giuen how to welcome it . make much of thy physitian : let not an emperick or mounti-bancking quacksaluer peepe in at thy window , but set thy gates wide open to entertaine thy learned physitian : honour him , make much of him such a physitian is gods second , and in a duell or single fight ( of this nature ) will stand brauely to thee . a good physitian , comes to thee in the shape of an angell , and therefo●e let him boldly take thee by the hand , for he has been in gods garden , gathering herbes : and soueraine rootes to cure thee ; a good physitian deales in simples , and will be simply honest with thee in thy preseruatiō . i neuer sat with aesculapius at the table ; i scarce know what a salu●tory-box meanes : yet● without asking leaue of the learned colledge , to hang out my bill or begging licence at surgeons hall , to seale aprobasum est vpon my vnguents and plaisters . i will aduenture to minister physicke , and salues to any one , that in this time , is troubl'd with the sicknesse : and my patien●s in the end , shall confesse : that gallen hyppocrates , paracelsus , nor all t●e great maisters , of those artes , did neuer lay downe sounder prescriptions . and heere come my medicines martching in . art thou ( in this visitation stricken with carbu●cles , blaynes , and blisters , is thy body spotte● all ouer ? art thou sure death bids : hee come away , by some tokens which he hath sent thee ? be ru●de by me , and take this receipt ; trust to it , for it cui'd a king of israel . cry out with dauid , o lord ! chast●ze me not in thy wrath ▪ for thine arrowes haue lighted vpon mee : there is nothing sound in my flesh because of thine anger : neither is there rest in my bones because of my sinnes . my woundes are putrified ; my reynes full of burning : i am weakned and sore broken . my heart panteth : my strength fayleth me : and the light of mine eyes ( euen they ) are not mine owne : my louers and my friends stand aside from my plague , and my kinsemen stand afarre off : yet continue thou vvith the holy singer , and conclude thus , o lord , hast to helpe mee . hovv like you , this medicine ? is it of such vertue , that albeit , thou art sicke to thy death : it vvill by degrees take away all thy torments . this second is a lulep to sweeten the mouth of thy stomacke , after the bitternesse of thy sickenesse : ●or , when by an armipotent hand , thou art lifted out of thy death-bed ; when the bell hath ceast rolling for thee , and thy womer-sle●pers leaue gaping for thy linnen , thy goodes , and thy money : and are madde they are not likely to rifle thy house : vvhen thou hast an appetite to eate , and that thy feete are able to walke vpon that earth , which was hungry to d●noure thy whole bdoy ; then fall thou vpon that earth , and magnifie god. then say , though thy sinnes in thy sickenesse made thy conscience shev a face to thee as blacke as hell , yet seake thou to it , and tell it , that this recouery vvith new repentance ( continued ) sh●ll make it like the vvinges of a doue , couered with siluer : and vvhose feathers are like the yellovv gold ; say to thy soule , it shal bee as white as the snow in zumon , and co●s●sse that gods mercy is like the mountaine of bashan : say to thy health , that the chariots vvhich god sent to guard it vvere tvventy thousand angels , amongst whom , the lord was as in the sanctuary of sinay . nay , albeit death should lay his mouth to thine eare , and bid thee put thy house in order : for , thou shall dye ; yet , an isaiah ( some good mans prayer● ) or thine ovvne , may bee heard , and god may ad●e to thy dayes fifteene yeares more , as he did to hezekiah , vpon his repentance . repentance is a siluer bell , and soundes sweetly in the eare of heauen . it is a dyamond shyning and sparkling in the darke , to inlighten all our miseries . it is a 〈◊〉 for euery vvound : it is a golden ladder by whose st●pp●s wee climbe to immortality . it is a chayne of orient pearle , tying vp gods handes that hee shall not strike vs : repentance smelleth sweeter then the oyntment vvhich the woman annoynted christs feete ▪ when shee wip●d them vvith her hayre . repentance winnes the king of heauen , to smile vpon vs as if wee were his ●auorites : and to say thus . if thou still art ascending , and getting vp this hill of repentance , blessed shalt thou bee in the citty , and bless●d in the field ; blessed bee the fruit of thy body , and the fruit of thy ground , and the fruit of thy ca●tle , the increase of thy king , and the 〈◊〉 of thy sheepe : blessed shall be the basket , and thy dough : blessed shalt thou bee when thou comest in , and blessed also when thou goest out . thy land-soldiers ( o england ! ) shall not stand in feare ●or thy royall nauy , for thine enemies that rise against thee , shall fall before thy face : they shall come out against thee one way , and fly before thee seauen wayes . his word ( that speakes this ) may bee taken better then any kings in the world : and therefore , hold out both thy hands vnder , this tree of blessings . and catch the golden apples when so freely they are taken downe into thy lappe . but , if thou trample these gifts vnder thy feete , and spur●est at gods fauour bestowed vpon thee , in thy health , in the midst of a hot sicknesse . if the tolling of bells cannot awaken you , nor the opening of graues affright you ▪ if bill-men standing at other mens dores , cannot put you in minde , that the same guard , may locke vp yours , and the same red crosses bee stucke in your banners , : if to bee shut vp close for a moneth , seeme but a short saeue in a tragedy , and not car'd for , when t is acted ; then heare ( o england and thou her eldest daughter , so admired amonst nations for thy beauty . ) heare what new quiners of punishments will bee opened ; for , these are the arrowes which god himselfe sayes hee will draw out at rebellious kingdomes : a pestilence cleauing fast , consumptions , feauers , burning agues ; the sword , blasting new-dewes , heauen shall bee turned to brasle , and earth to iron : or houses to haue others dwell in them , our vineyardes , to haue others ●ast them , our ox●n to bee slaine , yet wee not eate them , our sheepe to bee slaughtered , and to feede our enemies . these , and hideons squ●ldrons besides are threatened to bee sent out against disobedient people : what physitians , doctors , surgeons , or apothecaries , haue wee to defend vs in so dreadfull a warre ? none , not any . if therefore with naaman , thou wouldst bee cleansed from leprosy , thou must obey elisha , and wash thy selfe seauen times in iordan : wee●e seauen times a day ▪ nay , seauen times an houre for thy sinnes . whosoeuer with ahaziah , ( the king of samaria ) falleth sicke , and sendeth for recouery of baal-zebub , ( the god of ekron ) and not to the true god indeede , hee shall not come from his bed , but dye the death . for , wee sincke to the bottome of the watters , as the carpenters axe did : but , though neuer so iron-hearted , the voyce of an elisha , ( the feruency of prayer and praysing god ) can fetch vs from the bottome of hell : and by contrition make vs swimme on the toppe of the waters of life . now , albeit at the first crying to god , nay , the second , third , fourth , or twentith time , hee will not heare thee ; but that thy sighes are neglected : thy teares vnpittyed : thy sores nor repented : thy hunger not satisfied ; thy pouerty not relieued . yet giue thou not ouer : stand at the gate of gods mercy still ; begge still : knock still , and knock hard ▪ for , 〈◊〉 was barren , yet being an importunate suiter , her petition was heard , and signed . shee was fruitfull , and had three sonnes , and two daughters . so , albeit wee bee barren in repentance , in thanksgiuing , in charity , in patience , in goodnes : yet if vnfeignedly wee pray to heauen , wee shall bee fruitfull : and these fiue shall bee our sonnes and daughters . by this meanes our ma●● shall change her name agen to naomi , and our bitternes , bee turned into sweetnes . art thou sicke ! thy best and onely doctor dwells aboue : hast thou beene sicke ! art thou amended ! fill heauen and earth , full of songes to thy eternall physition , who takes nothing of thee , for any eloctu●ri●s hee giues thee , his pilles are bitter , but whol●some , and of wonderous operation : and so much the better , because what he giues , comes gratis ? art thou recouered ? hast thou pluck't thy foot out of the graue , when it was stepping in ? then with the sonne of syrach , acknowledge , that a beggar in health is better then a diseased monarch , health and strength , are fairer then gold , and a sound body is an infinite treasure . so that , if thou doest not open thy lippes , to magnifie him , that hath snatched thee out of the lawes of destruction , his blessings are to thee , as messes of meate set vpon the graue . i must yet once more wish thee ( o troy nouans ) to cast thine eyes about thee : looke forward on thy sad neighbour ( distressed cambriage , ) sickenesse shakes her , her glorious buildings are emptied , her colledges shut vp , her lourned sonnes forsake her , her tradesmen cry out for succour . want walkes vp and downe her streetes , a few rich , a many poore ;

oxford and the publisher proquest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by proquest via their early english books online (eebo) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). the general aim of eebo-tcp is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic english-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in eebo. eebo-tcp aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the text encoding initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). the eebo-tcp project was divided into two phases. the 25,363 texts created during phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 january 2015. anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. users should be aware of the process of creating the tcp texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. text selection was based on the new cambridge bibliography of english literature (ncbel). if an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in ncbel, then their works are eligible for inclusion. selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. in general, first editions of a works in english were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably latin and welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in oxford and michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet qa standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. after proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of tcp data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a tcp editor. the texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the tei in libraries guidelines. copies of the texts have been issued variously as sgml (tcp schema; ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng company of woodmongers (london,

't is enough for the orator to blazon the bloudy shield of war in general , when 't is his sole charge to dispute who are the guilty causers & promoters of this particular war : 't is enough for him to take it for grāted , or at most upon his own credit to affirme it , that the kings party of papists and arminian clergy men and delinquents were first assayled by this parliament , without cause or danger ; and so presaltum to proceed to vēemous invectives , & cursed censures against the parliament : when his main task is to proove either that a parliament may in no case whatsoever defend it selfe , or that this warre in the parliament is not defensive . if wee peruse all the papers which have come out in the kings behalfe , under his name , or otherwise ; we shall find nothing proper to be insisted on but these two points , that defensive warre is unlawfull in parliaments , or that this warre in the parliament is not defensive ; and yet nothing lesse hath been insisted on ; nay though the fabricke bee vast that is built and raised thereupon , yet that which ought to support all the fabrick is utterly neglected ; so in this reply ( now to be examined ) if much be affirmed , yet little is prooved , and if any proofe be made 't is of sequels , not of premisses ; 't is of assumptions deduced , not of theses deducing : and 't is plaine and obvious to al that the replicant here pleads not as if he stood at the barre , but pronounces sentence , as if he sate on the bench : we may justly therefore suspect that he aymes not at the satisfying of wise men , but the dazelling of simple men , and that he would not daube with his fucusses every line , & embellish with his caressing phrases every sentence , if he did not affect the pompe of mr rhombus the pedant , rather then the gravitie of a statist . the next art of our replicant is to impose those his nude averments which are most false and improbable , with most boldnesse and assurance , assaling as it were thereby the beliefe of other men with armed violence . that it may passe for currant that franham castle was surprized contrary to the faith , and treaty of sir william waller ( with whom no treaty was ever entertained nor spoken of , ) it must be further averred , that our side was false at winchecter , false in york shire , false every where ; but these things eadem facilitate negantur , quâ affirmantur . another advantage of the kings party is by multitude of writings , invective and satyricall : both the universities are become mints of defamatory disgracefull papers , the regiments of the kings pen-and-inkhorne men , are more and fuller then of his sword-men ; and though too many papers are scattered of both sides , yet those of the kings are most of them serious , and done by able men , whereas those of the parliaments side for the most part are ridiculous done by sots , or prevaricators to the disadvantage of the partie . after these premonitions i come to the replication it selfe . the substance of the petition was that the parliament would tender such propositions for accommodation , as might be accepted with honour to his maiesty , and safety to the kingdome . the substance of the answer was that the parliament was truly and heartily desirous of a safe and honourable accommodation , and for an instance of that their desire would seeke nothing from the king , but to enjoy the due essentiall priviledges of his highest court of law and policie , which priviledge must needs qualifie and fit them rather to judge , then to be judged by any other inferiour partie . that a totall submission to the king , he being so farre addicted to a faction of papists and haters of parliaments , could neither be safe nor honourable . that to submit to the kings party were to submit to the foes of religion and libertie : foes irreconcileable , and such as ever had been dangerous , and were now made more furious by bloud against the parliament . that if the petitioners being but a part of london , and that but a part of england , should in stead of an honourable safe accommodation presse the parliament to a dishonourable unsafe submission to the kings party , it were a breach of publike trust in the parliament to yeeld therein , the parliament being trusted by the whole kingdome , that if a just fit accommodation be intended the king ought to trust the parliament in part , as well as the parliament ought in part to trust the king . that both parties being equally disarmed , the protestants being lesse countenanced by the king , and more obliged in conscience by oathes and agreements , would be more obnoxious to disadvantages , then that party wherein so many papists are predominant . that though the parliament might submit , yet a faire accommodation it could not obtaine , except the king would equally condescend thereunto . that if the petitioners had found out a more safe and honourable accommodation then the parliament had yet discovered ; ( for that was possible ) the parliament would embrace it ; that if none such could be found out , the affections and judgements of the parliament ought not to be censur'd or distrusted . that it behooved the petitioners to addresse themselves by the like petition to the king , if no want of affection to peace were apparent in the parliament , as certainly none was . in contradiction and opposition to all the severall poynts in this analysis , what the replicant hath set forth , wee shall now see in the same order . 1. the great contrivers of our sad divisions , which abuse the weake reason of the people , to keepe up an unfortunate misunderstanding between king and subject are not named by the replicant ; but they are clearely pointed out to be the chiefe lords and commons in parliament : for he saith , every new vote of late hath been a new affliction : and he makes pennington and the citty lecturers to be but iourney-men rebels under them : and even this hellish slander he venteth under the name of the petitioners , whom he stiles the most considerable persons of the citty : and at the same time affirmeth , that the people generally are of honest affections . and the answer to the petition in which , the words ( he saies ) are softer then oyle , though the matter of it be poison of aspes , he attributes only to some chiefe engineers of mischiefe in the house , though it carry in it the authority of the whole house . here is a wonder beyond all wonders . a few factious persons in parliament over-awe the major , better and wiser part in parliament ; and by a few factious instruments in citty and countrey abuse the major , better and wiser part there also into the most miserable distempers and calamities that ever were ; and though the honest generality begin to grow wiser and are instructed by the sence of their miseries , and by other advertisement
