WHereas , an actuall and open Rebellion being raised against Vs under the Command of Robert Earle of Essex , and diverse other Traiterous Persons , for the destruction of Vs and Our Posterity , and the subversion of the Religion , Laws , and Liberties of this Our Kingdom , great Endeavours are daily used to perswade and fright Our good Subjects in Our City of London , and thorowout this Kingdom , to submit to severall illegall Impositions , by pretended Orders or Ordinances of one or both Houses of Parliament , for the levying of the Twentieth Part of their Estates , and for VVeekly Taxes upon the same , and to engage them into unwarrantable Protestations and Associations , to no other end then to foment and maintain this unnaturall VVarre against Vs ; All which Contributions , Protestations , and Associations are by the known Law of the Land Acts of High Treason , and Endeavours to take Our Life from Vs ; VVe do therefore strictly charge and command all Our loving Subjects whatsoever , and particularly of Our Counties of Norfolk , Suffolke , Hertford , Essex , Cambridge , Kent , Surrey , Sussex , South-Hampton , North-Hampton , Leicester , Derby , Rutland , Nottingham , Huntingdon , Bedford , and Buckingham , where this Association hath been already attempted , upon their Allegiance not to enter into any such Association or Protestation , And all Our loving Subjects in what parts of this Our Realm soever ( particularly of Our City of London ) not to submit to any such Imposition , Levy , or Tax as aforesaid , nor to presume to be assistant thereunto by Assessing , Taxing , Levying or Collecting thereof . And VVe do hereby publish and declare , That VVe are resolved to grant out Our Commissions for the seizing of the Goods , and the sequestring of the Estates of all such Persons as shall rebelliously disobey Vs herein , To the Intent that such their Goods and Rents may be safely deposited , untill such time as the Offendors can be brought to a Legall Tryall , which shall speedily proceed against them , as soon as they can be apprehended and delivered into the hands of Iustice . And VVe do hereby will and command all Persons who are any wayes indebted unto , and all the severall Tenants of all such Persons , who shall by submitting to , or assisting of any such Imposition , Levy , or Tax , contribute to the maintenance of the Armies in Rebellion against Vs , or that shall joyn in any such Traiterous Association or Protestation , That they forbear to pay any Rents or Debts due to the said severall Persons , but detain the same in their hands towards the maintenance of the Peace of the Counties , and the Reparation of such men who have suffered by the Violence of the aforesaid Armies , The same course being already taken by publique Order and directions against such as have faithfully and according to their Allegiance assisted Vs against this unnaturall Rebellion . And as VVe have heretofore declared , That whosoever sould lose his Life in this Our necessary Defence , the VVardship of his Heire should be granted by Vs without Rent or Fine to his own use ; so on the other side VVe do here by publish and declare , That whosoever of Our Subjects shall not make use of this Our gracious VVarning , but persist in , or hereafter engage themselves into either actuall bearing Arms against Vs , or any such Traiterous Assistance of those that do bear Arms either by Contribution or Association as aforesaid , in case they dye or be so killed during this Rebellion , that the Coroner cannot have Inspection of their bodies , their Heires shall have no benefit by Our Instructions of Grace to Our Court of VVards ; The Benefit of which , VVe shall ever be carefull that all Our good Subjects may fully enjoy . Given at Our Court at Oxford the Eight day of March , in the eighteenth yeer of our Reign . 1642. God save the King .
