HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE  royal blazon surmounted by a crown  
FOR Our Right Trusty AND WELL-BELOVED, THE Lord mayor, Aldermen, and common-council of Our City of LONDON.  
Charles Rex. 
 RIght Trusty and Well-beloved, Wee greet you well.  
Having expressed Our resolutions to the two Houses of Our Parliament of England, and the Committee of Estates of Our Parliament of Scotland, to give all just Satisfaction to the joint desires of both Kingdoms, We have now likewise thought fit to assure the two chief Cities of both Our kingdoms, That nothing is more grievous to us, than the trouble and distractions of Our People, And that nothing on earth is more desired by us, then, that in Religion and Peace, with all the comfortable fruits of both, they may henceforth live under us, in all godliness and honesty; And this profession Wee make for no other end, but that you may know immediately from ourselves, Our integrity and full resolution to comply with Our Parliaments in every thing for settling Truth and Peace, And our desire, to have all things speedily concluded, which shall be found requisite for that end, That Our return to that Our ancient City, may bee to the Satisfaction of Our Parliament, the good liking of you, and all Our good people, and to Our own greater joy and comfort. Wee bid you hearty farewell.  
From Newcastle the 19 of May, 1646.
