WHEREAS this County , in which ( out of Our experience of the good Affection thereof ) We have chosen to make Our residence this Winter , is in great danger to suffer violence , and to receive losse and damage by the Incursions of the Rebells , who by reason of their number of Dragooners ( with which they have furnished themselves , by seizing of the Horses of any of Our loving Subjects , without their consent , and to which they are authorized by a late pretended Ordinance ) run up and down into severall Counties , pillaging and plundring Our good Subjects with unheard of Rapine , Insolence , and Inhumanity , whilst Our Horse , for want of such Assistance in respect of the Lanes , and deep and narrow wayes , cannot prevent those out-rages . Though We hope never to be forced to follow the example of these ill men ( who having received such vast Sums of Money from Our Subjects , and seized all Ours , can yet have no cause for such Impositions , but their love of Rapine ) to lay such burthens upon Our People , albeit for their preservation , as the Committees in severall Counties have Authority , and are directed to do by that Ordinance , yet We have thought fit to declare , That it will be an exceeding acceptable Service unto Us , and We shall take it as a singular Testimony or their affection , and the sense of the Cause , if they shall at this time send in Horses , Geldings , Mares , or Naggs , to be used as Dragoon-Horses for Our Service , and the defence of this County : And to that purpose Our Will and Pleasure is , That this Our Declaration be read in all Churches and Chappels on Sunday next , both at Morning and Evening Prayer ; not doubting but that every Gentleman , and other substantiall Free-holder , and the Inhabitants of every Parish , by joynt consent , will send in such Horses as aforesaid , with Saddles and Bridles : And whosoever can send in men armed with Muskets upon those Horses , shall much adde to this Service . And Our pleasure is , That all such who are willing to gratifie Us herein , shall bring or send their Horses on Thursday next , to the sign of the Katherine-Wheel in Oxford , and deliver them to the hands of Our trusty and welbeloved , Winter Graunt Esquire , Our Waggon-Master Generall , who shall be there ready to receive them . And We command the Constable of every Hundred , receiving Information from the severall Petty-Constables within their Hundred , to bring in a Note of the names of all such Parishes and particular Persons who upon this so visible occasion shall oblige Us in this kinde , and present the same unto Us , with the number of Horses , Men , and Muskets so sent by them , that We may remember it to their advantage ; and , when it shall please God to enable Us , pay them the true Value , which We do hereby Promise to do : And such Persons who shall then offer themselves to serve on the said Horses , shall be then listed and entred into Pay , as the rest of Our Dragoons are ; And We hope the Threats , Menaces , and Compulsion of the Rebells shall not more work upon Our People for their Supply , then this gracious desire and earnest intreaty of Ours shall do , in a Case wherein they , We , and the Publike are so neerly concerned . God save the King .
