The citizens of the City of London, addressed collectively by the King in his speech thanking them for their loyal reception.
and I assure you, I will singly grant those few reasonable demands you have now made unto me, in the name of the City;
I must desire you, because my voice cannot reach to all those that I desire should hear me, to give most hearty thanks to all the good citizens of London, for their hearty expressions of their love to me this day;
