Worthy Sir,

OUt of the care of your welfare, I make bold to advertise you for your good, that you would be pleased speedily to convey your selfe and Family out of the City, & that you repaire as farre Northward as conveniently you may, for there is a terrible and suddaine blow expected to be given shortly against the City of London, for though I am of opinion the Kings Majesty be a good Protestant in his heart, yet Jam perswaded that by the perswa∣sions of the Queens Majesty, and the advice of the Catholique Lords and other Gentlemen, the wished designe may take full effect. The truth of which premisses was delivered to the Court of Aldermen and Common Councell of the City of London, from the Committee.
