A Declaration of the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament.  
Die Lunae 8. Septemb. 1645.  
WHereas the Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled, are informed that by the subtle and malicious practices of a Popish and malignant party, opposite to God's Cause and the prosperity of this kingdom, it hath been insinuated and infused into sundry of the Inhabitants of His majesty's Dominions of Wales, to disaffect and poison them against the proceedings of the Parliament, That it was their intention to gratify our Brethren of Scotland for their assistance in these our extremities drawn upon us by the said Popish and malignant party with the Estates and Lands of the said Inhabitants, which is so absolutely false that it never entered into their thoughts, and consequently needed no refutation: Yet that the subjects of this kingdom, inhabiting within the said Dominion of Wales, may receive full and befiting satisfaction, and We and our Brethren of Scotland Vindication against so foul and so barbarous an Aspersion, the said Lords and Commons do testify and declare to all persons whatsoever to whom these shall come, That they do much abhor and detest an Act of such injustice and Inhumanity, and that they are so far from doing any such thing, that if any of the said Inhabitants upon due sense and sorrow for any of their Crimes and Misdemeanours committed against the present Parliament, shall submit and apply themselves by humble Petition to the Parliament, and desire the favour of; and reconciliation to the same, the said Lords and Commons will be thereupon ready to receive any and all such upon such reasonable terms as the wisdom of the Parliament shall think in some measure proportionable to the qualities and degrees of their several Offences, and thereupon yield them all such aid and assistance as they shall reasonably desire, and the Parliament be able to afford. Provided always that this shall not extend to any that are excepted from Pardon within the Propositions lately presented to His majesty for a safe and well grounded Peace.  
Ioh Brown Cler. Parliamentorum.
