Die Sabbathi, 27. May, 1643. THe Commons being informed that many soldiers listed, and in pay under the command of the Lord general, the Earl of Essex, do daily withdraw themselves to the great prejudice of the present service, and to the disturbance of the most of the county whither they do resort, Do order that the Deputy lieutenants, Constables, and other head Officers, or any one or more of them, of every County where any such soldier or soldiers shall be found, do forthwith cause him or them to be apprehended, examined, and imprisoned, and with all convenient speed shall cause such soldier or soldiers to be safely conveyed at the charge of the County to the Lord general, or to such Captain from under whose command he shall have so withdrawn himself. And it is further ordered that all Captains, and Officers of Trained-Bands and volunteers, And all Head-officers, Constables, and all other persons whatsoever, shall be aiding and assisting to the said deputy-leiutenants and justices of the Peace, or any one or more of them in execution of the premises, as they will answer the contrary at their peril. Ordered by the Commons assembled in Parliament, That this ORDER be forthwith printed and published. Hen: Elsing, Cler. Parl. D: Com. London, Printed for Edw: Husbands. May 29. 1643.
