❧_o by_o the_o king_n ❧_o his_o majesty_n gracious_a proclamation_n to_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o westminster_n whereas_o among_o other_o art_n use_v by_o the_o promoter_n of_o this_o horrid_a

persuade_v they_o to_o loan_n and_o contribution_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o army_n now_o in_o rebellion_n against_o we_o upon_o pretence_n that_o the_o same_o be_v raise_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o our_o person_n the_o protestant_a religion_n the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n whereas_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v for_o the_o destruction_n of_o they_o all_o by_o their_o yield_a obedience_n to_o and_o execute_v the_o pretend_a ordinance_n of_o the_o militia_n and_o last_o by_o infuse_v into_o they_o a_o desperate_a sense_n of_o their_o own_o
