<HEAD>An Ordinance of the LORDS and COMMONS in Parliament.</HEAD>
<P>_WHereas the King &s;educed by evil Councell hath rai&s;ed an Armie and leavied War again&s;t His Parliament, and great numbers of Forces are daily rai&s;ed under the Commands of Papi&s;ts and other ill affected per&s;ons, by Commi&s;&s;ions from His Maje&s;tie. And whereas divers De|linquents are protected by His Maje&s;ties &s;aid Armie from publike Ju&s;tice, and &s;undry out|rages and Rapines are daily committed by the Souldiers of the &s;aid Army, who neither re&s;pect the Laws of God or the Land, but burn and Plunder the hou&s;es, and &s;eize and de&s;troy the per&s;ons and goods of divers His Maje&s;ties Su<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="apex" EXTENT="1 letter">j<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="apex" EXTENT="1 letter">cts: And whereas for the maintenance of the &s;aid Army, divers A&s;&s;e&s;ments are made upon &s;everall Counties and per&s;ons of va&s;t and in&s;upportable &s;ums of money, and His Ma|je&s;ties Subjects are compelled to pay the &s;ame, which &s;aid Armie (<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="apex" EXTENT="1 letter">f it &s;hould continue) would &s;oon ruine and wa&s;te the Kingdom, and utterly overthrow Religion, Law, and Liberty. For &s;uppre&s;&s;ing of which &s;aid Armie and ill affected per&s;ons, there is no probable way under God, but by the Armie rai&s;ed by the authority of the Lords and Commons in Parliament, which &s;aid Armie cannot be maintained without great &s;ums of money: Yet for rai&s;ing &s;uch &s;ums, by rea&s;on of His Maje&s;ties withdrawing him&s;elf from the advice of the Par|liament, there can be no Act of Parliament pa&s;&s;ed with His Maje&s;ties a&s;&s;ent, albeit there is great ju&s;tice that the &s;aid moneys &s;hould be rai&s;ed.</P>
<P>The Lords and Commons in Parliament, taking the &s;ame into their &s;erious con&s;ideration, and knowing that the &s;aid Army rai&s;ed by them hath been hitherto for the mo&s;t part maintained by the vo|luntary and free Contribution and Loans of divers well affected per|&s;ons, who have freely Contributed or Lent to the maintenance there|of, according to their abilities, but con&s;idering there are divers with|in
