<P>_WHereas the King &s;educed by wicked Coun&s;ell hath rai&s;ed an Army, and levyed warre again&s;t the Parliament, and great number of Forces are dayly rai&s;ed under the commands of Papi&s;ts and other ill affected per&s;ons, by Commi&s;&s;i|ons from his Maje&s;ty; And whereas divers Delinquents are protected from publike Ju&s;tice by his Maje&s;ties Army, and &s;undry outrages and rapines are daily committed by the Souldiers of the &s;aid Army, who have no re&s;pect to the Lawes of God or the Land; but burne amd plunder the hou&s;es and &s;eize and de&s;troy the per&s;ons of divers his Maje&s;ties good Subjects: And whereas for the maintenance of the &s;aid Army divers A&s;&s;e&s;&s;ements are made upon &s;everall Counties, and His Maje&s;ties Subjects are com|pelled by the Souldiers to pay the &s;ame; which &s;aid Army if it &s;hould continue would &s;oone ruine and wa&s;t the whole Kingdome, and overthrow Religion, Law, and Liberty. For &s;uppre&s;&s;ing of which &s;aid Army and ill-affected per&s;ons, there is no probable way, un|der God, but by the Army rai&s;ed by authority of the Parliament; which &s;aid Army &s;o rai&s;ed cannot be maintained without great &s;ummes of Money, yet for rai&s;ing &s;uch &s;ums by rea&s;on of his Maje&s;ties withdrawing him&s;elfe from the advice of the Parliament, 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 Monyes &s;hould be rai&s;ed; The Lords and Commons in Parliament having taken the &s;ame into their &s;erious con&s;ideration, and knowing that the &s;aid Army &s;o ray&s;ed by them, hath beene hitherto for the mo&s;t part maintained by the voluntary contributions of divers well affected per&s;ons, who have freely contributed according to their abilities.</P>
<P>But con&s;idering there are divers others within the Cities of <HI>London</HI> and <HI>We&s;tmin&s;ter,</HI> and the Suburbs of the &s;ame, and al&s;o within the Borough of <HI>Southwarke,</HI> that have not con|tributed at all towards the maintenance of the &s;aid Army, or if they have, yet not an&s;we|rable to their E&s;tates, who notwith&s;tanding receive benefit and protection by the &s;ame Army as well as any others, and therefore it is mo&s;t ju&s;t, that they &s;hould as well as others be charged to contribute to the maintenance thereof.</P>
