Die Jovis 2. Junij, 1642.  
WHereas it doth appear to the Lords and Commons in Parliament, That the King, seduced by wicked. Counsel, doth intend to levy war against his Parliament; And whereas Information hath been given, That the Jewels of the Crown (which by the Law of the Land ought not to be alienated) are either pawned or sold in Amsterdam, or some other parts beyond the Seas, and thereby great Sums of Money provided to be returned to York, or to some of His majesty's Servants or Agents for His majesty's use: And whereas 'tis more than probable, That this great Provision of moneys in such an extraordinary way, is to maintain this intended war, and thereby to bring the whole Kingdom into utter ruin and combustion. It is therefore declared by the Lords and Commons in Parliament, That whosoever hath been, or shall be an Actor in the selling or pawning of any of the Jewels of the Crown, or hath, or shall pay, lend, send, or bring any Money in Speciè into this Kingdom, for, or upon any of those Jewels; Or whosoever hath, or shall accept of any Bill from beyond the Seas, for the payment of any sum of Money for, or upon any of those Jewels, and shall pass any sum according to such Bill, after notice of this Order, without acquainting this House with the receipt of such Bill before he accept the same; Or if he have already accepted any such Bill, then with the acceptance thereof before the payment of the Money, Every such person shall be held and accounted a promoter of this intended war, an enemy to the State, and aught to give satisfaction for this public damage out of His own Estate.
