Hinderson a Papist one of the Kings party laboured with one David Alexander a Scothman to kill Sir Iohn Hotham but hee refusing his Maiesty sent twice for him to Beverly and when he came had publike talke with him and gave him a summe of money which he received That the said Sir Iohn Hinderson also conspired with the said Alexander to fire the Lord Generals Magazine but by great providence was prevented That such of the Trained Bands as refuse to serve his Maiesty have their Armes taken from them and that the Cavaliers by their cruell oppressions have so exhausted those Parts where his Maiesty hath been that they now perswade him to march towards London that so they might make the like spoyle in all those fruitfull Countryes in the way and satisfie their long expected hopes out of the rich wealth of the City of London To prevent all which miseries and dangers the Parliament doe conceive it fitting that good provision be made by loane and contribution to maintaine the Lord Generalls Army and that that Army doe alwayes attend the removes of the Kings Army to prevent them in their spoyles of the Country That those Countrys through which the Kings Army doth passe doe associate themselves and draw all their Forces together for their own defence according to the direction of their Deputy-Lievtenants and other Officers And that they have Powder Munition and Ordnance in readinesse upon all occasions That all those who in the City of London or else where shall weare any of the Kings Colours shall be examined and disarmed As also in that Declaration the Houses make severall excellent Queries concerning the grounds of this warre the result whereof in short is That it is not feare of some Innovation or alteration in Religion or Church Government that hath occasioned this warre for that the Parliament have fully declared that they intend to take away nothing but the Government of Bishops which have been so evidently mischievous and dangerous to the Church and State Nor is it to uphold the authority Prerogative and honour of the King as is so vainely alleadged by them But the true cause and matter of the quarrell is That Priests and Iesuites may domineere and govern in the Kings councell as formerly That the Bishops may suppresse powerfull preaching and introduce the Popish Religion under colour of the Protestant profession That the Earle of Bristoll Lord Digby Master Iermyn and other Traytors may govern the affaires of State and be distributers of Preferments That Delinquents may escape the Iustice of Parliament and triumph in the spoyles of honest men That through our troubles the Rebels in Ireland may prevaile That We may cease to be a free Nation and become the obiect of cru●lty and oppression at home and of scorne and infamy abroad c.

Hinderson Collouell Cockram are sent to Hamburgh and Denmark to raise Forces for the King and that divers of the Rebels in Ireland named are about his Maiesty And divers others accused of Treason by this Parliament as the Lord Digby O-Neale Wilmot Pollard Ashbornham and others That divers Priests and Iesuites in forraign parts make great collections of money to further his Maiesties designes against the Parliament and great meanes are made to take up the differences betwixt some Princes of the Roman Religion that so they might ioyne their Force for the extirpation of the Protestant Religion in this Kingdome For all which reasons both houses doe declare That they will enter into a solemn Oath and Covenant with God to defend this cause with their lives and fortunes against the Kings Army and all of that party shall ioyn with them in this wicked design And that the parliament will Associate themselves and unite with the City of London and all other of his Maiesties Dominions to the end aforesaid And lastly the parliament doe declare that they doe expect our brethren of Scotland according to the Act of pacification will also ioyn with them in the said cause c.
