sufficient pretence for raising of Men against the Kings person that it is for the defence of the Kings Authority and of His Kingdom though against His expresse Command and Proclamation the Irish Rebels will have colour for their horrid Rebellion For they say though it be notoriously false It is for the defence of the Kings Authority and of His Kingdom And Wat Tyler and Jack Cade and Kett the Tanner wanted not publike Pretences which were perhaps just causes of Complaints though not of raising of Men And though these persons have gone about subtilly to distinguish betwixt Our Person and Our Authority as if Because Our Authority may be where Our Person is not that therefore Our Person may be where Our Authority is not We require all Our good Subjects to take notice of the Law which is in Print and full Force That their Allegiance is due unto the naturall Person of their Prince and not to His Crown or Kingdom distinct from His naturall Capacitie And that by the Oath of Ligeance at the Common Law which all persons above the age of twelve yeers are or ought to be sworn unto they are bound to be true and faithfull not to the King onely as King but to Our Person as King CHARLES and to bear Vs truth and faith of Life and Member and earthly Honour and that they shall neither know nor hear of any ill or damage intended to Vs that they shall not defend And that when in the time of King Edward the second Hugh Spencer being discontented with the King caused a Bill to be written wherein was contained amongst other things That Homage and the Oath of Allegiance was more by reason of the Kings Crown that is His Kingdom then of His Person and that seeing the King cannot be reformed by suit of Law if the King will not redresse and put away that which is ill for the Common People and hurtfull to the Crown That the thing ought to be put away by force and that His Leiges be bound to Govern in aid of Him and in default of Him he was condemned for it by two Parliaments and perpetually vanished the Kingdom We have made mention of these cases not so much to cleer Our Right That We alone have the power of raising Forces and none of Our Subjects either in Parliament or out of Parliament against Our Will or personall Command which We think no man that hath the least knowledge in Our Laws and is not led away by private Interests and may speak his minde freely will deny nor was ever questioned in any Parliament before this time as to let them see how dangerous the effect and consequence of raising of Forces without Vs may be unto Vs and to the Common-wealth uuder pretence of Defence of both And though We cannot doubt of the affections of Our good Subjects considering their interest is involved with Ours and how precious the peace of the Kingdom is and ought to be unto them and that according to the words of the Statute of the eleventh yeer of King Henry the seventh and the eighteenth Chapter By the duty of their Allegiance they are bounden to serve and assist Vs at all seasons when need shall require Yet to the end that Our good Subjects may know what their duty is and what We expect from them and that all others who through Malice or private Interests shall be transported beyond their duties may be left without excuse we do therefore by this Our Proclamation charge and command all Our Subjects uopn their Allegiance and as they tender Our Honour and Safety and the Peace and Safety of the Kingdom that they presume not to raise or leavie any Horses Horsmen or Arms or any Forces whatsoever by colour of any Authority whatsoever without Our expresse pleasure signified under Our great Seal other then such as shall be raised leavied and imprested by the Order as well of Our Self as of both Houses of Parliament according to an Act made this Sessions intituled An Act for the better raising and leavying of Souldiers for the present defence of the Kingdoms of England and Ireland by Iustices of Peace and otherwise in such manner as is prescribed in the said Act or Contribute or give any Assistance in Money Plate finding of Horses horsmen or Arms or any other wayes to or for any such Preparation Levie or Forces And that such of Our good Subjects who through Ignorance have been mis-led to consent or subscribe to any such Leavie Contribution or Assistance forthwith upon publication of this Our Proclamation desist from continuing such their Contribution or Assistance or giving any Countenance to any such Leavies at their utmost perils And We do likewise straitly Charge and Command as well all Sheriffs Iustices of Peace Majors Bailiffs Constables and all other Our Officers whatsoever That they use their utmost endeavours as well for publishing this Our Proclamation as for the suppressing of all Leavies or Forces raised or to be raised without or against Our consent As also all other Our loving Subjects That they be attending Aiding and Assisting Our said Officers and Ministers therein as they and every of them will answer it at their utmost perils Given at Our Court at York the eighteenth day of June in the eighteenth yeer of Our Reign 1642.
