Parl. D. Com. Printed for Edw Husbands Iuly 11. 1643. An Ordinance of the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament Concerning divers ill-affected persons and Papists within the Counties of Denbigh Mountgomery Flint Merioneth Carnarvon and Anglesey c. Die Lunae 12. Iunii 1643. VVHereas the Lords and Commons now assembled in Parliament have received credible Information that very many Papists notorious Delinquents and other ill-affected persons inhabiting within the several counties of Denigb Mountgomery and Flint in the Dominion of Wales have in meer opposition to and contempt of the power and authority of this present Parliament entered into an hostile and dangerous Association amongst themselves and with many other persons of like condition with them inhabiting in other adjacent counties for the raising and promoting of an intestine and civill War within this Kingdom and in pursuance thereof have contrary to their allegiance levyed and do daily levy great forces both of horse and foot within their said severall counties compelling the common people by Imprest Imprisonment and other violent courses to enter into acts of hostility and rebellion with them and inforcing the Inhabitants of the said counties by illegall unjust and insupportable taxations to support and maintaine them in their said Rebellion and Force contrary not only to the ancient known laws of this Kingdom but also to severall Acts made and consented unto by his Majesty this present Parliament and multitudes of his Majesties good protestant subjects have been and daily are robbed of all their estates imprisoned ruined and destroyed by them Which proceedings of the said persons doe tend not only to the disturbance of the peace and tranquility of this Kingdom but also to the subversion of the fundamentall Government thereof and of the protestant religion therein professed in case they should receive into their ayd and assistance any considerable number of the Irish Rebells which is not improbable It being the ayme as it is probable of all the papists now in armes in this Kingdome and in the Kingdom of Ireland to free themselves from the Laws established against them and the cruel and bloudy outrages committed by them upon the protestants of both Kingdomes in ruining whole families consuming by fire whole townes and using his Majesties Name for their authority to countenance their treasonable practises making it evident to all men that the said Rebellion and civill Warre in both Kingdomes have sprang from the same Roote and must needs live and dye together The said Lords and Commons taking the same into their serious considerations doe hold it necessary for the more speedy suppressing of the said Rebellion and reducing of the said Papists Delinquents and ill affected persons to their due obedience that the said severall counties of Denbigh Mountgomery Flint Merioneth Carnarvon and Anglesey and the adjacent counties be with all convenient speed secured aswell from insurrection as forraign Invasion being seated on the Irish Coasts Be it therefore ordayned by the Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled That the Lord-Lieutenants for the said severall counties and all Colonells Lieutenant-colonells Serjeant-Majors Captaines and other officers and all other persons well affected to the protestant Religion and the peace of the Kingdome inhabiting within the said severall counties shall and lawfully may associate themselves together and likewise enter into mutuall association to and with the said severall Lord-Lieutenants Committee or Committees of Parliament Colonels Lieutenant Colonells Sergeant Majors Captaines and other Officers and all other person or persons inhabiting within the severall counties of Chester the county of the city of Chester and the counties of Salop and Lancaster and any other adjacent county or counties and actually ayde succour and assist one another in the mutuall preservation and defence of themselves and of the peace of all the said counties from all rapine plundering and spoyling by the said Delinquents papists and other the said ill-affected persons And that the said Lord-Lieutenants Committee or Committees of Parliament Colonells Lieutenant-colonells Serjeant Majors Captaines and other Officers shall have have power to raise forces of horse and foot and to lead them into any place or places which shall be fitting and convenient either within or out of all or any of the said severall counties And to give battle to and to fight with all such forces as are or shall be raised against the Parliament and against all other forces raised or to be raised without authority and consent of both Houses of Parliament and likewise against all such persons as do or shall make any insurrection or otherwise plunder or destroy any of his Majesties good subjects and them to invade resist suppresse subdue pursue kill slay and put to execution of death and by all meanes to destroy as enemies to this Kingdom and also to performe all other things needfull for the preservation of the safety and peace of all the said severall counties cities and parts adjacent observing from time to time such other directions and commands as they shall receive from both Houses of Parliament or from his Excellency the Earle of ESSEX Lord Generall And that all the sayed persons and other the Inhabitants of the aforesayed severall Counties that shall enter into any such said Association by vertue of this present Ordinance or doe any other act or acts in obedience to and pursuance of this or any other Ordinance of the two Houses of Parliament shall for his and their so doings be saved defended and kept harmlesse by the power and authority of Parliament And the said Lords and Commons taking likewise into their serious considerations aswell the danger this whole Kingdom is likely to fall into if any of the Irish Rebels or other forreign Forces should land in any of the aforesaid severall Counties being Maritine and bordering on the Irish Seas and should joyn with the said Delinquents papists and other the said ill-affected persons now already in arms
