Aleyn Mayor.   blazon or coat of arms of the City of London At a common-council holden at the Guildhall London, on Wednesday the 23 day of November 1659.  
IT having pleased Almighty God to show us so much of the Fruit of our own Hearts and Evil ways, as to let us see the very Foundations of Government Razed; and that we have so much cause to fear our great Want of Fear and Love to his holy Name and Word, Worship and Sabbaths, Magistrates and Ministers, may justly provoke him to withdraw from us, and to Loath, Abhor and Leave us to the Lusts of our own Hearts, and to our great Weakness and Folly, till Confusion and Desolations make us become a Reproach to Religion, and a Scorn to all Nations.  
In most humble desires of that good convincing Spirit of Promise, to give us a right sight and sense of our great Vileness, and his greater Goodness, yet able to Pardon, Recover and Heal us; We desire to Bow down and Humble our Souls before the mighty hand of God, that he may yet pity and Spare, Pardon and Heal, according to the Greatness of his Power and Goodness: That his Name may be glorified, and the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus enlarged, and these Nations settled in Peace and Righteousness, with Governors and councillors, judges and Teachers after his own Mind and Heart, according to his Holy Word: And that He will not leave us in this hour of Temptation, till he hath brought us through all our Fears, Troubles and Darkness, unto True Rest, Peace and settlement.  
For these great ends this Court hath appointed Friday the second of December next, solemnly to seek the Face of God, with Fasting and Prayer at Paul's Church; and doth recommend it to the Ministers of the Gospel, to give notice hereof in all their several Churches and Congregations, and to desire their Assistance and Concurrence in their several Churches, as the Lord shall enable them and all his People throughout this City and Liberties thereof.  
Sadler.
