THE Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament, Taking into their serious considerations the heavy pressures and calamities which now lie upon this Kingdom by this unnatural war raised against the Parliament; And that notwithstanding all their faithful and uncessant Endeavours, for the preserving of His Majesty, and the whole Kingdom from the mischievous and restless designs of Papists and ill-affected persons (whose aim is the extirpation of our Religion, Laws, and Liberties.) Yet their counsels and practices are still so prevalent with His Majesty, and the hearts of many people so misled and beguiled by their false pretences and insinuations, that nothing can be expected, but ruin and desolation, unless God in mercy prevent it, and incline His majesty's heart to the faithful advice of His great council of Parliament; which hath ever been, and is (under God) the chief support of His royal Dignity, and the security of all that we have or can enjoy. And for that it is most agreeable to common Justice, that the estates of such notorious Delinquents, as have been the causes or Instruments of the public calamities, which have been hitherto employed to the fomenting and nourishing of these miserable Distractions should be converted and applied towards the supportation of the great charges of the commonwealth, and for the easing of the good Subjects therein, who have hitherto borne the greatest share in these burdens.
