A Declaration of the Gentlemen and Inhabitants of the County OF BRECKNOCK. We the Gentry and Inhabitants of the county of Brecknock, whose Names are subscribed, Do declare and profess, That we are fully satisfied in conscience, that the two Houses of Parliament now sitting at Westminster, are the true and undoubted lawful Parliament of England, and the Supreme Court of judicature of the Kingdom; To whose judgement and Determination we do and will, in conscience of our Loyalty, and not by terror or constraint, submit ourselves, our lives and fortunes. We are also persuaded and confess, That the Arms taken up and continued by Authority of Parliament in this Defensive war, are raised and continued in their own just Defence, and for the just Defence of the protestant Religion, the person and Honour of the King's Majesty, the privileges of Parliament, and the Liberty of the Subject; And that the Forces raised or to be raised within the Kingdom of England, or Dominion of Wales, without their consent, are raised and employed for destruction of Parliaments, fomenting and establishing of popery, prelacy, and an illegal and Arbitrary Government. In apprehension whereof, we do unanimously resolve, and firmly engage and undertake, That we, with all persons under our power and command, will from hence forward, to the extremest hazard of our Lives and Fortunes, adhere to and assist the Forces raised or to be raised by Authority of Parliament, against all other Forces raised or to be raised against them, or without their consent; And we shall willingly and cheerfully join with Major general Laughorn, and those three Associated counties whereof he is Major general, And with the county of Glamorgan, with whom we are already Associated; And contribute our utmost assistance, and endeavours proportionably to the said respective counties, in such way as Major general Laughorn shall think fit, and meetest for the service of the Parliament. And from this Resolution and Engagement we shall not swerve or receade, by adhering to the contrary party, or embracing a detestable Neutrality, either by persuasion, dread, or any other motive whatsoever.
