<P N="14">14. That a Declaration be &s;et forth to the Kingdome, to this effect, &s;hewing the pre&s;ent nece&s;&s;ity of this Kingdome, cau&s;ed and dayly multiplied by the traiterous and bloody Coun&s;ells and attempts of tho&s;e pernitious and de&s;perate Coun&s;ellors &s;till about the King, and protected by him; while they more and more manife&s;t their implacable enmi|ty to our Religion, the Parliament, and peace of all his Ma|je&s;ties good &s;ubjects and Dominions, have bin &s;uch, and as many as have compelled them to borrow more, and farre greater &s;ummes of money upon the publique faith (be&s;ides that which they them&s;elves have advanced) for the pre&s;er|vation of Religion, as well as the ju&s;t and undoubted Privi|ledge of Parliament, our Lawes and Liberties from mo&s;t apparent de&s;truction, then at fir&s;t they intended, and to be longer in repaying the &s;ame, which they unanimou&s;ly re|&s;olve,
<PB N="6" REF="4"> &s;hall be fully repayed back with interre&s;t) then here|tofore they promi&s;ed. And albeit they be now preparing &s;undry Propo&s;itions to be humbly and &s;peedily pre&s;ented to his Maje&s;ty for an honourable and firme &s;etling of the pub|lique peace without more effu&s;ion of Chri&s;tian blood; yet no man can be ignorant of the further nece&s;&s;ity of providing more trea&s;ure, as well for the &s;upport of the Army rai&s;ed by authority of Parliament untill the King &s;hall vouch&s;afe gra|ciou&s;ly to conde&s;cend to our ju&s;t and nece&s;&s;ary reque&s;ts, as for the full payment of all &s;uch &s;ummes of moneyes as al|ready are, or further may be due and arreare for the nece&s;&s;a|ry provi&s;ion of Armes, Ammunition and pay of the &s;aid Army untill their disbanding and returne home to their &s;e|verall Countries, that &s;o they may not be occa&s;ioned tho|rough want of pay to plunder, rob or pillage by their way homewards.</P>

<PB N="7" REF="4"> victualling of the Ships that they may be ready to put forth to Sea, and to have a &s;peciall care to guard <HI>Newca&s;tle,</HI> to pre|vent forraigne aid from comming in thither, which by rea|&s;on of &s;tormes and tempe&s;ts which are frequent neer that Harbour, during the Winter &s;ea&s;on our &s;hips are not able to ride there.</P>

<P N="20">20. The Parliament having taken into con&s;ideration the great prejudice that might accurre, both to his Maje&s;tie and his &s;ubjects, if the Records of the high Court of Chan&s;ery, and othet Courts (which by his Maje&s;ties late Proclamati|on are adjourned to Oxford, where a great part of the trea|&s;ure of the Kingdome doth con&s;i&s;t) &s;hould be carried a|mong&s;t the Cavaliers, they have ordered that the Records &s;hall not be removed to <HI>Oxford.</HI></P>
