A Catalogue of sundry Knights, Aldermen, Doctors: Ministers and Cizens, who denying to contribute Money for the public safety, and other misdemeanours, are in custody in Gresham college, Crosby house, and other places in and about the cities of London and Westminster, by authority from the Parliament. THere is nothing doth more discover the inclination, then to part with that whereunto men have obliged their affections: for such is their natural love to riches, that they prefer it before honour, reputation, nay even Religion. The commonwealth shall be exposed to any danger, and suffer under the violent fury of an enemy, rather than they will contribute any thing for the general good of the kingdom. And it were no wonder, if there were but some few of this opinion; but when they which should be more grave and weighty in judgement, by many thousand pounds than others, shall refuse to assist the Parliament with sums of money proportionable to their estates, it shows that they do little regard the public good, or their own private safety. Whereupon the names of certain most eminent rich men of the city, being certified unto the Parliament, and they knowing that they might easily spare such sums of money as were of them demanded for the supply of the present distracted occasions of the kingdom, they ordered it upon mature deliberation, that they should be compelled to satisfy the Parliaments just desires, which they had formerly refused to do: And thereupon by order from the Parliament, divers captains of the city, with some of the trained Bands, came on Saturday night last to the houses of these wealthy Citizens, every Ward not searching in their own Precincts, but in another's liberty, to avoid the common enemies to justice, fear or favour; and so without admitting of any excuse, they took some at supper with many guests at their Tables, others were raised out of their bed, and still as they found them, they took them away by authority from the Parliament, and forthwith carried them to prison, where they remain for their contempt of the Parliaments demands concerning money to be issued for the defence of the King and Parliament in these mutinous times: And that those rich men who are so cold in their affections to the cause wherein the Kingdom is engaged, may be discovered, their names well known in the city, are here likewise inserted.
