To Our trustie and welbeloved , the Lord Major , Aldermen , and Sheriffs of Our City of LONDON . TRustie and Welbeloved , We greet you well . Whereas We have received severall Informations of great sums of Money endeavoured to be borrowed of Our City of London by some direction proceeding from both Our Houses of Parliament , and likewise that great labour is used to perswade Our Subjects to raise Horse , and to furnish Money , upon pretence of providing a Guard for Our Parliament ; These are to let you know , that ( notwithstanding any scandalous Votes which have presumed to Declare Our Intention of leavying War against Our Parliament , and to lay other aspersions on Us , so fully disavowed by Us in the presence of Almighty God , by Our severall Answers and Declarations ) all Our desires and purposes are for the publike Peace , and that We have not the least thought of raising or using Force , except We are compelled to it , for the defence of Our Person , and in Protection of the Law : And therefore We expect , that you suffer not your selves to be mis-led by such vain and improbable suggestions , and do declare , That if you shall lend any sums of Money towards the relief of Ireland ( to which We have contributed all the assistance could be desired of Us , which way soever the Money given and raised to that purpose is disposed ) or towards the payment of Our Scots Subjects , We shall take it as an acceptable Service at your hands ; but if upon generall Pretences contrived by a few Factious Persons against the peace of the Kingdom , you shall give or lend any Money , or provide or raise any Horses or Arms towards the raising such a Guard , We shall look upon it as the raising Force against Us , and to be done in malice and contempt of Us and Our Authority . And We do therefore straitly charge and command you to publish this Our Letter to the severall Masters and Wardens of the severall Companies , that they may be assured , that such Money as they shall lend out of their good affection to the Kingdom , may be onely imployed for Ireland or Scotland and not toward such Guards , which ( in trueth ) are intended by the Contrivers of that Designe ( though We beleeve many honest men seduced by them do not yet see their end ) to be imployed against Us : And if you and they shall herein fail punctually and severally to observe Our commands , We shall not onely proceed against the severall Companies for deceiving the Trust reposed in them ; but against the particular persons , as Contemners and Opposers of Our Authoritie , and of the Law of the Land , in the most exemplary way the known Law of the Land shall prescribe to Us ; And shall be compelled to question the Charter of your City , which We are willing yet to beleeve ( notwithstanding the Barbarous and Insolent demeanour of the meaner and baser sort ) in a good degree to continue Loyall to Us . And of your obedience to these Our Commands We do expect and require a full Account , and of the names of such Persons who shall oppose the same . Hereof faile you not as you will answer the contrary at your perill . Given at Our Court at York the 14 day of June , in the 18 yeer of Our Reign . 1642. Imprinted at London by ROBERT BARKER , Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majestie : And by the Assignes of JOHN BILL . 1642.
