The Earl of Manchester his SPEECH.
MY Lord Maior, and Gentlemen, you of the City of London,
I am commanded to come hither upon an Errand, that I know in the generall is never pleas∣ing, which is to expresse wants and necessities; but I know ve∣ry well to whom I speak, it is to the Worthy, the Generous, and the Royall CITIZENS of London, who have exceeded all Story in their care, for the life and preservation both of the Parliament and the whole Kingdom: Therefore it would imply a distrust of your present care, to make a Supply, if I should use any Arguments to you; I shall onely say this, that if there be not an enlargement of your selves in some measure at the present, I shall be ve∣ry unwilling to expresse the condition that I fear our Army will be reduc'd to: This is all that I shall say, that if there be a present Supply, I do not doubt but the Army will move with that effect, as it will prevent all those bar∣barous and salvage plunderings of the Forces that are

now under the Command of those Officers of the King. I confesse the burthen hath lain very heavie onely upon the City of London, and you shall have the grace, and the honour of the preservation, both of Religion, and the Laws and Liberties of this Kingdom. This Gentleman that is by me, will let you know that it is already in Pro∣position, (and I do not doubt but it will speedily have the concurrence of the Lords with it) to take that care, that the future burthen shall not lye upon those here in the City of London, that have been carefull to make Supplies, even to the exhausting of themselves; but that it shall go generally to all those that have shrowded themselves under a kinde of Neutrality here in London; and that it shall go generally throughout all the Countries of Eng∣land, that so the common Calamities shall be prevented, and supported by the common burthen laid upon the whole Kingdom.
