The Declaration of the Esquire at Arms.  
FOrasmuch as the Barons of the Exchequer and other Judges of the Commonwealth of England have in their Judicature made a doubt whether the Parliament be dissolved or not, It is declared that the Parliament is dissolved, And that all the actions of Oliver Cromwell Esquire, Captain-General of all the English Forces, be just, honest, and legal; and that he is a just and honest man in whatsoever he enterprised in the said affairs. And if any person or persons shall, by any colour or pretence whatsoever, attempt to question the Authority of the Lord General Cromwell, or disturb the peace of this Nation, the freeborn persons of England under his protection will call them to a severe account.
