But if any shall draw benefit therefrom, it will ease me of all regret, as having exposed my obscure Name, in the observ∣ance of Your Commands, by whom, in this Your Second Mayoralty, under God and the King, we enjoy great Quietness, and by whose Pro∣vidence, very worthy Deeds are done unto

our Corporation. To which, both in its Head and Members, (as for above Twenty Years already past, I have been highly Obliged) I shall study always to approve my self
A very Faithful Humble Servant whilst J. NEWTON.
