XXXVI. To the Citizens of LONDON, at GUILD-HALL, January 5. MDCXLI. II.
GEntlemen, I am come to demand such Prisoners as I have already attained of High Treason, and do believe they are shrowded in the City. I hope no good man will keep them from Me; their offences are Treason and Misdemeanours of an high nature. I desire your loving assistance herein, that they may be brought to a Legal Trial.
And whereas there are divers suspicions raised that I am a favourer of the Popish Religi∣on, I do profess in the name of a King, that I did and ever will, and that to the utmost of My power, be a prosecutor of all such as shall any ways oppose the Laws and Statutes of this Kingdom, either Papist or Separatist; and not only so, but I will maintain and defend that true Protestant Religion which My Father did profess, and I will still continue in during Life.
