Great satisfaction concerning the Imprisonment of the Lord MAIOR of London, which was committed to the Tower, &c.  
IT is no wonder that Ignarant men fall so often into a praemunire, and one liable to undergo the sincerity of the Law for petty Crimes, when the great men whose wit and judgements are acquainted with the quaint falacies of this sick sat, and so misled and suffer themselves to be guilty of so much error, but 'tis no wonder, for Honour is such a painted pill covered with tempting sweets that it that it in chants, nay wraps the soul in pleasing slumbers, and in a dull and lethargic leprosy, inchaines them in a pleasing Servitude, and makes them slaves forever, so it has happened with many great men of late, but the mast remarkable is the Lord Major of this city, who having been honoured by his by his Majesty in an unusual manner, thought that honour would bear him out in all things, but he found the contrary, for on Frdy last he was called to the Lord's House, to answnr a charge against him, of many high misdemeanours commiited by him since he came into his Office, and after the reading of his first charge, by reason of other business he was ordered to appeore on Monday, which was accordingly performed, and coming to the bar his Charge was read which contained these particulars.  

1. That the said Lord Major hath been a mover of Sedition in the kingdom.  
2 In that he caused the King's Proclation concerning the Commission of array.  
3. That he had made divers breaches of his Oath concerning the affairs of the City.   
The Lords and Commons received a Petition from the County of Liecester, wherein was declared the great danger they were in by reason that Mr. Hastings had proclaimed himself High Sherisse of that County, and endcavoured to raise what Forces he possibly can, desiring Parliament to send down Commissioners with Commissions to men of trust to be commandeders over them, which was likewise taken into serjous consideration.  
Likewise a Letter was read in the House of Commons, that came from the Lord Brooke, Lord lieutenant of the County of Warwick, declaring that the Trained Bands of that County, did very willingly appear, and with great readiness did obey the Ordinance of the of Parliament concerning the Misisia, and that there appeared one thousand and seven hundred volunteers, and that the Earl of Northamptan was expected to appear with the Commission of array, to oppose him in that Ordinac●, but as yet he had not appeared.  
The Earl of Stamford likewise came to the House, and acquainted them that all the Jesuits and Popists in that County, did conspire together to ruin him and his House, and that he was forced to keep in his House in Liecestor, and to keep a hundred and fifty soldiers at his own charge to defend himself, for that Mr. Hastings with an hundred Horse had made many attempts upon his House, whereupon he had order for the levying of five hundred Faote, and a hundred Horse, to suppress● them.  
Likewise they voted that the Commission of array, granted by his Majesty, was illegal, and contrary to the propriety of the Subject.  
Ordered that this be printed and published.

His Majesty taking into consideration the Government of his navy royal, his will and pleasure was, That Sir John Pennington should have the place of Admiralship resigned unto him, being against his majesty's will and pleasure, that the Earl of Warwick should enjoy that place any longer, and to that end and purpose did send a Message to the Earl of Warwick to give up his place, and that he should obey his special Command, which was, that he should resign his place to Sir John Pennington, the said Sir John being near unto him, exhecting the ●ecei● thereof.  
His Majesty were likewise resolved, that he should not enjoy that place any longer, but that he ssiould obey His Command therein.   

Ordered that this be Printed, and published.
