Several Propositions have lately been propounded by the Lords and Commons in Parliament to the Kings most Excellent majesty, they leaving no way unattempted, to gain his majesty's royal favour, and the peace of the kingdom, witness those 19 Propositions lately sent to York and presented to His majesty, yet nevertheless all their endeavours find a bad success and all their care is rewarded with discourtesy, for it is too apparent that His majesty intends to raise war against the Parliament, for information is given to the House that several Persons have endeavoured 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Forces, promising great rewards to those that would be aiding in that service, Likewise the Lords and Commons received a Letter from Holland, which the ear of Northumberland read in Guildhall, that there is at this time at Amsterdam many thousands of Carabines and Pistols. three thousand great Saddles, 300 Barrels of Powder, 8▪ pieces of Ordnance, making ready to be sent to England, for this design, and it is thought to be bought with part of the money borrowed on the Jewels of the crown, likewise a chain of pearl and other Jewels sent back, money being denied to be sent on them, by reason of the late Order made by the Parliament to the contrary. These and the like Assurances of danger, caused the Lords and Commons now resident in Parliament to publish several Propositions in general, to all the kingdom. This was also the 〈◊〉 that d●duced these Noblemen to make these other propositions to this Honourable city, that being chiefly concerned in this business. The above named Earls, coming to the Hall where the Lord Major and Aldermen, with the Common council of the city were assembled. The Earl of Northumberland read those Propositions which were published by the Authority of Parliament, after which the said Earl declared upon what grounds they did proceed, and their causes of fear, which were chiefly these. 1. Because his majesty by the persuasions of the malignant 〈◊〉▪ doth endeavour to force a dissolution of the Parliament, to which end, by several Persons, and in several Counties, he hath endeavoured to raise arms. 2. That these foreign preparations of ●rmer, purchased with the jewels of the Crown, can portend nothing less than such a dangerous design. 3. That those armed cavaliers at York committing several outrages already on his majesty's subjects, giving out several words against the Parliament, both dangerous and scandalous, is a free Declaration of their intents, what they intend to put in Act, if they once gain strength by their supposed foreign supplies. To these they added these Propositions. 1. Whether it stood not for the better security of the city in general, to venture a proportionable stock for the maintenance of forces to defend and secure the general from the danger of such intended Stratagems. 2. Whether it were not much better for those that had Plate or Money to put it into a general stock, the faith of the whole kingdom being engaged for the return of it, then to let such Plate or Moneys be made pillage and prey to the enemies of the kingdom. To which Propositions they added these Reasons. That for such Moneys or Plate so ventured if the kingdom stood, they were assured to receive the value again with Interest, and the rest of their estates secured, but on the contrary they could neither keep that, nor ought else, their lives and estates running on equal hazard. These Propositions with the Reasons were generally liked, and condescended unto. Likewise the said Earls declared that they have underwit for four hundrd Horse, Die Sabbati 4. Junij. 1642. IT is this day Ordered by the Lords and Commons in Parliament▪ That the deputy-lieutenants of the several and respective Counties within the Kingdom of England and Dominion of Wale●, 〈…〉 Members of the House of Commons, be hereby required and enjoined to be present at the days, and places which are, or shall hereafter be appointed by the Lord lieutenants, or their Deputies, for the 〈◊〉, Mustering, and Exercising of the In●●bitants of the said Counties, according to the authority given unto them by an Ordinance of both Houses of Parliament. And it is further Ordered, That all deputy-lieutenants, as well those that are Members of the House of Commons, as others, shall give such dispatch by preparing of Warrants▪ Commissions▪ or Letters, and subscribing of the same as the service shall require; And that such as shall refuse, or neglect so to do, that their Names be certified unto us by 〈◊〉 fellow-Deputies, or any one of them that shall or do perform the said Service. And it is further declared▪ that it is the intention of both Houses, for the better encouragement of so good a work, so much conducing to the safety of his majesty's person and kingdoms that some of their Members at the times and places appointed, or to be appointed for the execution of the said Ordinance, shall be sent down to give their personal attendance upon the said Service.
