To the QVEENS most Excellent majesty. The Humble Petition of divers gentlewomen, Citizens Wives, tradesmen's Wives, and other Inhabitants in the Cities of London and Westminster, and the Suburbs thereof.  
In all Humility Prostrate themselves at Your majesty's feet, Your poor Petitioners. 
 humbly showeth,  
THat as Your majesty's royal Presence amongst us hath been the comfort of our loyal hearts, And the Glory and Magnificence of Your Princely Court, the spring and fountain whence hath flowed pentifull aliment and maintenance for us, our Husbands, Children and Families, to the support of many Thousand souls, Education, whose Trade and labours, have had sole relation to the service of you Sacred person, and whose subsistence depends wholly upon the Commerce we receive by occasion of your majesty's Retinue, and the resort of the nobility and Gentry to your royal palace, which is the life of Trade. So they cannot but foresee that your majesty's withdrawing the comfort of your royal presence from amongst them, must necessarily occasion the utter dejection, distraction and ruin of them and all their dependants.  
Therefore humbly pray, that your majestic (not imputing the uncivil Tumults, nor unjust aspersions of some factious and ill-affected spirits, to proceed from any unsiderable party of your loyal subjects, but rather such as have been excited thereto by some sinister practices) will truly affy in the constant and real affections of your loyal people, who with perfect zeal hold in due Reverence and admiration your great and exemplar virtues, and with cheerful and faithful hearts, as they live by your favour, will willingly die in your service.  
And that your majesty in your tender Compassion of the afflicted minds, and distressed estates of your petitioners would renew the spring of all their hopes, comforts and subsistence, by deserting this intended journey, and graciously refreshing their withering spirits, with the beams of your much desired presence.  
So shall your Petitioners be obliged ever to pray for your majesty's long life and prosperity.
