TO
THE
RIGHT
HONOVRABLE
Sir
THOMAS
STAMP
Knight
;
LORD
MAYOR
of
the
City
of
LONDON
.
MY
LORD
,
HOnour
ever
looks
Lovelyest
,
and
shines
Brightest
,
when
't
is
the
Recompence
and
Meed
of
Virtue
;
so
great
is
the
Difference
between
a
Present
and
a
Reward
?
Your
Lordship
ascends
the
Praetorial
Chair
under
the
last
Qualification
.
Your
Merits
have
planted
You
so
fair
a
Mark
for
that
Dignity
You
have
received
,
that
it
is
payd
,
not
given
You.
And
the
Unanimous
acknowledgements
of
all
good
Men
are
so
sensible
of
a
Desert
so
conspicuous
,
that
their
concurring
best
Wishes
make
you
one
United
Congratulation
.
And
that
Your
Lordship
has
so
deserved
,
your
Constant
Zeal
for
the
Honour
of
Your
Country
,
is
not
the
Business
of
Yesterday
.
Your
Lordship
set
out
an
early
Devote
in
so
worthy
a
Cause
.
For
Instance
,
several
Years
together
in
those
memorable
Days
,
when
Intrigue
&
Designe
sat
high
at
the
Helm
,
Your
unshaken
Honour
and
Honesty
were
thought
so
dangerous
to
the
then
State-Hammerers
at
the
Anvil
,
that
no
less
then
Court-Power
was
pleased
to
rise
up
&
wage
against
You
,
witness
the
several
potent
,
Oppositions
made
against
you
and
your
long
Exclusion
from
your
Rightful
Entrance
into
Trust
.
But
thanks
to
Providence
,
under
the
present
more
benign
,
&
more
auspicious
Administration
,
a
Reign
where
Integrity
qualifies
for
Magistracy
,
&
the
Courtier
&
the
Patriot
are
not
names
incompatible
,
your
Lordships
Glory
of
being
the
Fear
of
that
Age
,
intitles
you
to
the
Darling
of
this
.
And
our
proud
Metropolis
receives
her
saluted
PRAEIOR
so
pleased
at
your
Inauguration
,
and
with
such
promising
confidence
of
so
upright
and
unbiast
a
Ministry
of
Equity
&
Justice
from
your
Lordship
that
she
never
entrusted
her
Scales
and
her
Sword
in
a
Worthier
Hand
.
In
which
high
post
of
Honour
,
I
joyn
but
in
the
Universal
Quire
,
when
all
Prosperity
and
Hoppiness
to
your
Lordship
are
most
heartily
wisht
by
,
My
Lord
,
Your
most
humble
and
obedient
Servant
,
E.
SETTLE
.
TO
THE
WORSHIPFUL
COMPANY
OF
DRAPERS
.
Gentlemen
,
UNDER
this
fair
Occasion
of
expressing
my
Gratitude
,
perhaps
I
take
a
fairer
of
gratifying
my
Pride
,
when
I
publish
Your
Generous
Goodness
in
Accepting
of
my
poor
Talent
for
the
Service
of
this
Honourable
City
.
My
best
Acknowledgments
to
Your
Introducing
Favour
lye
no
little
Duty
upon
me
;
and
though
I
dare
not
Arrogate
any
Merit
to
so
much
Honour
,
yet
at
least
I
have
this
Advantage
that
I
succeed
not
over-formidable
Predecessours
;
Those
Brothers
of
the
Quill
whose
Pegasus
has
not
soard
so
high
,
that
there
's
much
danger
of
my
Flagging
behind
'
em
.
But
when
I
Address
to
You
my
Kind
and
Worthy
Patrons
,
I
dare
not
pretend
in
so
narrow
a
Paper
to
recount
the
Antiquity
and
Splendor
of
the
Worshipful
Company
of
DRAPERS
.
It
is
enough
to
say
that
the
Honour
of
your
Corporation
extends
as
far
as
Trade
can
reach
,
or
Canvas
Wings
can
carry
it
;
and
from
this
little
Island
visits
only
those
Nations
of
the
World
that
there
is
Sea
to
Travel
to
.
And
for
Your
First
Original
,
Drapery
is
unquestionably
so
Ancient
as
to
have
the
Honour
of
being
the
immediate
Successor
of
the
Fig-Leaves
.
And
though
we
are
not
certain
that
our
great
First-Father
began
it
within
his
Fair
Eden
,
yet
we
are
assured
that
Eves
Spinstry
and
Adams
Spade
set
to
work
together
.
And
as
for
any
Poetical
Harangue
to
the
Drapers
Encomium
,
let
it
suffice
that
whilst
there
are
Verdant
Plains
and
Bleating
Flocks
,
those
innocent
Panegyrists
will
do
you
more
Justice
,
and
speak
much
better
than
any
weak
flourish
from
the
Pen
of
Your
most
Obliged
Humble
Servant
E.
Settle
.
