By the Lord Lieutenant of IRELAND HENRY CROMWELL.  
WHereas we take notice that there are sundry apprehensions touching the present posture of affairs, whereby the minds of the good People of this land may be disquieted, and from thence the Common Enemy and other disaffected persons among us encouraged to disturb the quiet & peace of this Nation, for prevention thereof, We strictly charge and require all Officers and soldiers of the army immediately to repair to their Garrisons and Charges; and that all Sheriffs and other Officers, as well Civil as Military, take diligent care to preserve the public peace, & by all due ways & means to hinder all unlawful Assemblies, the dispersing or divulging of any seditious papers, the signing or procurement to sign any test, engagement, or declaration of what kind soever, which may tend to divide the good People of this land, or alienate them from obedience to his highness and the present Government, and to give an account of their proceedings to us from time to time as there shall be occasion. And we do further order and require all Sheriffs, majors and other Officers of all Counties, Cities and towns Corporate within this Dominion respectively, forthwith to publish and proclaim this Declaration within their several Jurisdictions, and also the chief Officers present with the respective troops or Companies are hereby required at their Garrisons and Quarters, or at the head of their respective troops or Companies to publish the same accordingly.
