and sundry outrages and rapines are daily committed by the Souldiers of the said Army who have no respect to the Lawes of God or the Land but burne amd plunder the houses and seize and destroy the persons of divers his Majesties good Subjects And whereas for the maintenance of the said Army divers Assessements are made upon severall Counties and His Majesties Subjects are compelled by the Souldiers to pay the same which said Army if it should continue would soone ruine and wast the whole Kingdome and overthrow Religion Law and Liberty For suppressing of which said Army and ill-affected persons there is no probable way under God but by the Army raised by authority of the Parliament which said Army so raised cannot be maintained without great summes of Money yet for raising such sums by reason of his Majesties withdrawing himselfe from the advice of the Parliament there can be no Act of Parliament passed with his Majesties assent albeit there is great Justice that the said Monyes should be raised The Lords and Commons in Parliament having taken the same into their serious consideration and knowing that the said Army so raysed by them hath beene hitherto for the most part maintained by the voluntary contributions of divers well affected persons who have freely contributed according to their abilities But considering there are divers others within the Cities of London

to their Estates and Abilities And the said six persons so nominated or any foure of them within their severall and respective Wards and Limits shall have power to Assesse such person and persons as are of Ability and have not contributed and also such as have contributed yet not according to their ability to pay such summe or summes of Money according to their Estates as the said Assessors or any foure of them shall thinke fit and reasonable so as the same exceed not the twentyeth part of their Estates and to nominate and appoint fit persons for the collection thereof And if any person so
