A Declaration of the Maids of the City of LONDON, &c.  
We the subordinate Subjects of this commonwealth, do Declare ourselves to join with the Apprentices of this City, &c. by way of downright Honesty, for the increase of the City force against this Army-fied Parliament:  
And we do Declare, That to prevent all Hostile Incursion upon us, from this Army or Parliament; that the said Apprentices shall enter us by way of Listing; and if they do advance; we hope it will never be beyond the Line of Communication.  
We shall be ready to serve in the same Service with them, to maintain and secure our Forts from the upstart Preachers, who without our call, will be daring to thrust themselves into our Pulpits.  
And therefore, first, We Declare against the cobbler's single-soul conscience, which they call tender, with their Independent Pumps on; and against their pretended Liberty, to leap into our Trenches; without we join in our Resolution against them of an Upright Occupation: they may Underlay us at last: Kiffin the Glover, had like even nigh to make us run mad with his Heretical Thimble: And Canne— that Independent ringleader, to set up the Fift Monarchy, and his followers, will never leave fluttering about our Sconces, in a way of a spy.  
Nay the Sly Anabaptist must needs pretend Dipping, and so sneak privileges into us to cast our Water, that he may know where our strength lies.  
And the poor Innocent Adamite, that is stripped of all fencing stratagems; yet he is ever prepared to beat up our quarters; and having naked truth for his Standard, will often be ready to enter our sensitive outworks.  
The Seeker may disturb our night-watch; being sure groping in the dark; but their weak judgements will reach no further.  
The Quakers who are now flourishing without colours; and indeed even ready to affright us with their dismal looks; yet we bid defiance to all such as quake, before they scale our Wall.  
And we further do Declare in spite of all this Crew of vermin, according to our Feminine faculty; we will keep them at a distantical posture; Vowing a Maiden magnanimity, in opposition to all Conventickling conjugations; so standing upon the conscientious Liberty of our unresolved Virginity; We here unanimously Vote, to render ourselves to the use aforesaid; for bringing in of the right Proprietor, which alone can settle us against the Fictions and Factions, which our Flesh and Blood cannot endure.  
Therefore stand to it Fellow-doers and sufferers.  
And we shall live and die for you, stand to you, and fall with you.
