WHEREAS by Our Proclamation of the 28 of Aprill past , taking notice of the desires of the Lords and Commons of Parliament here Assembled , We did straitly Charge and Command all Persons whatsoever residing in this University and City speedily to List themselves in the Regiment of Auxiliaries under the Command of the Earle of Dover , which is upon no occasion to March out of this City upon service , otherwise then upon Sallyes in case of a Siege , nor to doe duties therein , except in case of a Siege , or other extraordinary occasion ; And whereas We have since given a like Commission to the Lord Littleton , Keeper of Our Great Seale , to raise one other Regiment of Auxiliaries to consist of Gentlemen of the Innes of Court , and others appertaining to the Law : Notwithstanding which We find that many Persons have not , nor doe not ( as We are informed ) intend to List themselves at all in any of the said Regiments , or any others here in Garrison , to the manifest prejudice of Our service , and neglect of their duties for the preservation of this University and City . Wherefore We have thought fit , by the advice of Our Councell of Warre , again straitly to charge and Command all persons whatsoever ( not already listed ) ( except such as are already Officers or Souldiers in some other Regiment of Our Army , and except the Members of both Houses of Parliament , the Gentlemen of Our Troop , Our Meniall Servants , and the Servants of Our Dearest Sonne Prince Charles , Our Commissioners , such as have entered into holy Orders , or such as for age , or some infirmity are not of ability to beare Armes ) to List themselves in the City Regiment , or in one of the said Regiments of Auxiliaries , before the 27 of this instant May , or else to depart the City , as Persons unfit to reside here , or to have the benefit of Our Protection . And if any shall be found after that time ( not being excepted ) who have not Listed themselves , We doe Command the Governour to cause such to be forthwith apprehended and proceeded against , as Persons disaffected to Our service and the good and security of this City . And We doe farther straitly Command all the Inhabitants of this City able to beare Armes , with their servants , to List themselves in the City Regiment , and to arme themselves accordingly before the said 27 of May , upon paine of being severely proceeded against for their neglect , which We require as well the Governour , as the Colonell and other Officers of the said City Regiment in their respective Charges to see straitly obeyed ; and to the end that no Person who shall reside here may be exempt , We shall take some speedy course that those of Our servants , and of Our Dearest Sonne the Prince , whose attendances are not immediatly required , shall be Listed under such Commands , as that upon all occasions they may be ready for the defence of this City . And that We may find the effects hereof , Our expresse pleasure is , That the City Regiment , and both the Regiments of Auxiliaries appeare before Us in Armes upon Tuesday next in the morning in the New Parkes , where We intend to view them and their numbers . This Our Pleasure We Command shall instantly be published in this City and University , to the end it may , be observed accordingly . Given at Our Court at Oxford , the 24th day of May , in the Twentieth yeare of Our Reigne . 1644. GOD SAVE THE KING . ¶ Printed at Oxford , by Leonard Lichfield , Printer to the Vniversity , 1644.
