THe Committee of the Militia London, and the Liberties thereof, earnestly desire you to inquire what arms are in your Ward, which belong to Auxiliaries; and to take care that good and sufficient Guards be set upon them, because the Committee hath information that there is a purpose of some evil disposed Persons speedily to seize the said arms, and use them upon a mischievous design: And within a very few days the Committee will ease of this trouble, and provide a convenient place for them, where they may be safely kept for the public good of the City, if you shall think fit.  
Dated at Guild-Hall the Twentyeth of May, 1648. Signed in the Name, and by the Warrant of the Committee of the Militia London, BY Adam Banckes Clerk to the said Committee.  
To the Deputy and common-council-men in the Ward of farington within
