die_v lunae_n 17_o julii_fw-la 1648._o we_o the_o commons_o in_o parliament_n assemble_v take_v into_o our_o consideration_n the_o late_a high_a insurrection_n in_o kent_n so_o sudden_o and_o wonderful_o quell_v by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o that_o small_a part_n of_o the_o army_n under_o the_o conduct_n of_o the_o lord_n fairfax_n general_n can_v but_o be_v deep_o sensible_a of_o the_o evil_a demerit_n of_o such_o person_n as_o have_v any_o way_n have_v a_o hand_n therein_o as_o also_o of_o the_o mischievous_a consequence_n that_o offender_n in_o so_o high_a a_o nature_n shall_v go_v unpunished_a yet_o be_v we_o desirous_a to_o use_v all_o possible_a lenity_n towards_o those_o who_o be_v in_o any_o measure_n capable_a thereof_o and_o do_v therefore_o hereby_o declare_v that_o although_o we_o see_v a_o necessity_n that_o some_o capital_a example_n be_v make_v yet_o shall_v our_o principal_a aim_n therein_o be_v that_o all_o may_v be_v warn_v by_o the_o punishment_n of_o few_o and_o although_o other_o who_o have_v thus_o employ_v their_o estate_n against_o the_o parliament_n and_o kingdom_n to_o the_o raise_n and_o foment_v of_o new_a distraction_n and_o trouble_n have_v just_o incur_v a_o total_a forfeiture_n of_o the_o same_o towards_o the_o repair_n of_o the_o public_a loss_n and_o damage_n by_o they_o occasion_v yet_o shall_v we_o thereunto_o extend_v only_o the_o sequestration_n of_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o principal_a actor_n namely_o such_o as_o have_v be_v former_o in_o arm_n against_o the_o parliament_n or_o in_o former_a insurrection_n in_o that_o county_n or_o who_o have_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o act_n in_o this_o insurrection_n as_o commissioner_n or_o commander_n or_o who_o have_v be_v therein_o notorious_o active_a in_o plundering_n or_o imprisonment_n and_o such_o minister_n as_o have_v be_v active_a in_o this_o insurrection_n and_o as_o for_o such_o other_o person_n who_o only_o through_o ignorance_n or_o weakness_n in_o themselves_o and_o the_o subtlety_n or_o threat_n of_o other_o have_v be_v seduce_v or_o terrify_v into_o some_o mistake_a or_o unwilling_a compliance_n in_o that_o action_n we_o do_v hereby_o warn_v all_o those_o not_o to_o flatter_v themselves_o for_o the_o future_a in_o such_o unworthy_a principal_n so_o prone_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v wrought_v upon_o to_o join_v with_o evil_a doer_n and_o do_v likewise_o hereby_o require_v every_o such_o person_n who_o expect_v the_o favour_n of_o this_o so_o gentle_a a_o warning_n that_o they_o engage_v themselves_o that_o they_o will_v never_o bear_v arm_n against_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n or_o against_o any_o that_o derive_v authority_n from_o they_o nor_o witting_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o
