DIE SABBATTI. SEPTEMBER, 24. 1642.  
WHereas, this kingdom and Common wealth hath been put to a great and vast Charge by Delinquents and an ill affected party which if it be not discharged by them and their Estates, must necessarily lie as a burden upon the good Subjects that have no way deserved it. It is therefore thought fit and ordered by the Commons assembled in PARLIAMENT, That the Houses of Delinquents or ill affected Persons shall not be plundered, pulled down or destroyed; but reserved for the benefit and advantage of the commonwealth, they being now considered rather as the Houses of the commonwealth then of Delinquents; and accordingly to be so preserved, as they yield more profit and advantage to it.   

Ordered by the House of Commons that this be forthwith printed and published.  
Hen: Elsinge, Cleric. Parliament. D. Com.   

Imprinted at LONDON by L. N. for E. Husbands and John Frank, and are to be sold at their Shops in the Middle Temple, and next door to the King's Head in Fleetstreet. MDCXLII.
