publish Our lawfull and just Commands and Declarations and will not against the knowne Lawes of the Land and their owne Consciences submit to Contributions nor publikely pray against Vs and Our Assistants but conform themselves to the Book of Common Prayer established by Law and preach Gods Word according to the purity thereof and in their Sermons will not teach Sedition nor will publish illegall Commands and Orders for fomenting the unnaturall Warre levied against Vs are some of them driven and forced from their Cures and Habitations some others frienced and discharged from the exercise of their Cures and persecuted and their Curats if Orthodox or placed and others who are Factious and Schismatical intruded and put in to sow Sedition and seduce Our good Subjects from their obedience expresly contrary to the Word of God and the Lawes of the Land and the Glebes Tithes and other emoluments of right belonging to such Incumbents as will not conforme to that Faction are

and Pleasure therefore is and We doe hereby straily charge and command all Our Subjects as well Ecclesiasticall as Temporall not to presume to intermeddle in discharging or hindering any of Our said Clergie for the cause aforesaid or any other the like pretences or any of them from the exercise of their Cures and Functions or in displacing the said Curats substituted by them nor doe presume to intrude or cause any Curats Lecturers or others to be intruded or put into such Cures or to take or dispose the Glebes Tithes Fruits or Emoluments belonging to any of Our said Clergy who are so

shall presume to transgresse this Our Command We doe hereby declare and signifie That they doe not onely oppugne and infringe the good old Lawes of the Land and the Liberties of the Church which all Our Subjects as well as Our Selfe are bound to maintaine and observe but doe also assist a Rebellion against Vs for which We shall proceed against them according to Law as they shall be apprehended and brought to the hands of Iustice and will give direction for taking their Lands and Goods into safe custody in the meane time And We doe hereby farther straitly command and require all Church-Wardens Sides-men Parishioners whatsoever to resist such persons as shall be so intruded or put in into any of the Cures aforesaid by or upon pretext of any such pretended Orders or Ordinances
