"To the Right Honourable the Lords assembled
in the High Court of Parliament.
"The humble Petition of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons, of the City of London, in Common Council assembled;
"Humbly sheweth,
"That, as your Petitioners acknowledge the Parliament of England to be the Supreme Judicature of the
Kingdom, from whom the Subjects of this Nation have
found Shelter in Danger, and Relief in Distress; so
now your Petitioners, having (with the whole Kingdom) a great Share and Interest in these Privileges,
do therefore at this Time humbly, yet earnestly, present these their important Desires to this Honourable
House:
"1. That all Honourable Ways and Means may
be used, to prevent the further Effusion and
Shedding of Christian Blood; and, to that End,
that all just Satisfaction may be given to the
Army, and all other Soldiers who have adventured their Lives for Defence of this Parliament and Kingdom; that, though the Condition of your Affairs do not enable you to
give full Satisfaction at present, yet that their
Accompts may be justed, and put into a certain Way of Payment, to the Quieting of many
Thousand discontented Persons; which, we
humbly conceive, will be much to the Glory
of God, the Honour of the Parliament, and
Quiet of the Kingdom.
"2. That, according to our Allegiance, the Covenant and Agreement of both Nations, His
Majesty's Royal Person may be preserved,
and so disposed of, that the Parliaments of
both Kingdoms may have free Access unto
Him; that thereby a right Understanding may
be obtained between them; and this tottering
Church and Kingdom, after all our Fears, Sorrows, and Sufferings, may enjoy the Blessing
of a well-grounded and long-desired Peace,
whereby this Kingdom may be the better enabled to speed Relief and Help to miserable
bleeding Ireland.
"3. That, for the better Defence and Security
of the Parliament and City in these tumultuous and troublesome Times, this Honourable
House will be pleased to renew so much of an
Ordinance of Parliament, of the 17th of
January, 1645, concerning the raising, maintaining, and ordering of Horses, and Power of
making Searches (a Copy whereof is hereunto
annexed), whereby the Committee of the Militia of London, and Parishes mentioned in the
Weekly Bills of Mortality, may be the better
enabled to suppress all tumultuous Assemblies,
and to prevent any Dangers that may happen
to the Parliament (fn. *) and City; and as this City,
from the Beginning of these Troubles, have
faithfully adhered to the Parliament, so we
are resolved, by the Blessing of God; never
to desert the same; but, with the utmost of
our Lives and Estates, will stand and fall, live
and dye, with the Parliament of England, according to our Covenant.
"And the Petitioners shall pray."
