THE SPEECH Of the Right Honourable Sir John Moore Kt. Lord Mayor Elect At Guild-Hall Sept. 29 1681. Gentlemen and Worthy Citizens I Give you all my hearty thanks for the great honour you have done me this day in chusing me your chief Magistrate for the Year ensuing It is a very great Trust you have reposed in me and a high and honourable Employment to which you have called me It shall be my great Care to the uttermost of my Power with God's Blessing and your Assistance to discharge it faithfully It is a Work I never did and requires that strength I never had which I hope the Lord will grant me God by you hath called me to it and I trust will carry me through it Magistracy is an Ordinance set up by Divine Authority and Government is appointed for the good of Mankind to keep the World in Order to which is due great Reverence and Obedience I wish all Men did their Duty I am sorry to hear and see such great Divisions amongst us certainly they are in a great Error that are promoters of them It 's the Design of Rome to divide us it will be the wisdom of Protestants to prevent and disappoint them by living together as Brethren in unity amongst themselves And my Request to you all is to exercise Christian Charity to forbear reproaching and backbiting one another to study quietness among your selves to discourage Sin and Wickedness to promote Piety and Godliness which will bring Glory to God Honour to the King and his Government Peace Happiness and Prosperity to this City which God Almighty grant and let all the People say Amen LONDON Printed for Jonathan Robinson at the Golden Lyon in St. Paul's Church-yard 1681.
