The Parliaments Determination, for the Levies of Horse, Arms, and Money for this present Design.  
SO fare hath the Malignant Party prevailed with his Majesty, by their deluding and fair seeming Stratagems by their most wicked and pernicious Counsels, that it is more than to be feared his Majesty gives way to the raising of Arms against the Parliament, to which end there hath been both Foreign, and Domestic preparation for the raising of Men, and Monies, which the High court of Parliament taking into consideration, thought it convenient to hinder such a fatal mischief, by a timely prevention, to which end they propounded several propositions touching the brining in of Horse, Plate, and Money, for the raising of Arms to secure the Parliament, (on the happy continuance of which) depends the safety, and Peaceable enjoyment of the Gospel, and sweet fruition of the true reformed Protestant Religion, the increase of his Majesty's Honour, and happy continuance of his Majesty's Reign, the firm and peaceable enjoyment of his Regal Dignity, and Royal Authority, established to his Royal Majesty, and his successive Posterity for ever, the Liberty, and Propriety of the Subject, the security of Lives and estates, the maintenance of the Laws by which we are governed, and the blessed freedom of our Christian Profession) and finding that the Malignant Party by their calumnious reports, and seditious words, began to slander such their proceed, casting aspersions on their unblemished Actions, giving out that their propositions for the bringing in of Plate, and Money, is to promote a war against the King; therefore they, being desirous to give the world satisfaction, and to clear all doubts, they have thought it necessary to declare to the world their real intentions and determinations concerning this Design, as follows.  
The Lords and Commons Assembled in Parliament, do declare, that the Design of those Propositions, is as was formerly declared to maintain the Protestant Religion, the King's Authority, the free course of justice, the Laws of the Land, the Peace of the Kingdom, and privileges of Parliament, against any force which shall oppose them.  
Likewise the Lords and Commons do really appeal to all His Majesty's loving Subjects, desiring them to judge whether they have not just cause to fear, and fearing to prevent Intestine War, and such uncivil discord as homebred Broils produceth to a Kingdom, the effect of which is Rapine, Murder, Spoil unto King and People, these are the Fruits of seditious dissension, and this we must expect, should the Romish Faction (which God forbidden) get the upper hand, could they but obtain their desires, and their yet promising hopes gain their wished effects, the unbounded Ocean of their viperous Envy, would like a swelling Torrent overflow the bounded limits, and in a Deluge of revenge and Blood, drown both the King and People, for though they cover all their Stratagems under a pretence of standing for the King, yet we have just cause to fear the event, & with our utmost endeavours labour to prevent, such the malignant practices of Our, and the Kingdom's Enemies,  
The House of Commons having received a report, concerning the Earl of Newcastle, that the said Earl hath put in about 500 Men in Garrison, and that the said Earl is about to raise a Troop of Horse, and beats the Drum for Volunteers, the Trained Bands refuse to come in, four pieces of Ordnance is gone towards South Sheeles, Tinmouth, and there are 300. men in work making a Sconce, to command all Ships, that come in or go out, the Town is in greater perplexity than they were the last year, Ship-masters refuse to go in, lest their Ships be Stayed.  
Many other reports daily come to the House, of slanders cast upon several Members of Parliament, especially against Mr. Pym, concerning Letters sent from Sir John Hotham, the contents whereof are here specified.  
First, he desired present supplies of Moneys for the payment of the Garrison, who were very orderly, and observant to his commands.  
Secondly, he desired that three Hundred Pounds might be designed him, for the making of new Fortifications, and in a private Letter to Mr. Pym, desired a supply of 300. Soldiers more, in case of any sudden attempt upon the Town, which he privately intimated, not to be publicly insisted upon (as by a mistake it was) but to make what use thereof for the advantage of the Service of Parliament, as he should think sit, he being confident of the Town's obedience to the King and Parliament, except a few inconsiderable Persons, for whose invectives against the Parliament some of them are in restraint.  
Ordered by the Lords and Commons in this present Parliament, that this be printed and published. Jo. Browne, Cler. Parl.
