Exceeding JOYFUL NEWS FROM THE PRINCE.  
HIs Highness being made Lord General of a Troop of Horse, in the Northern parts of this Kingdom, His Desire was, that they should behave themselves fairly, not doing any harm, to man, woman, or child, giving them strict Command, that they should commit no Outrages whatsoeverr against any of His Majesty's loving Subjects, neither should they take any thing from them by violence; which Command was observed and obeyed by them for a long time, till within these few days they began to revolt from obeying the Prince's Command, committing many tyrannical Actions against His Majesty's Subjects, plundering their Houses, and taking from them all that they could find therein.  
Which Outrages and in humane Acts, at last came to the knowledge of the Prince; who having information of it, was much moved, and forthwith gave Command, for the apprehending of all such persons.  
His Highness hath also set down His Resolution, that if any of the Soldiers in His Majesty's Army, or elsewhere, doth offer to abuse any Person or Persons, or seize upon their Horses, Goods, etc. or presume to take any thing away from them by violence, that they shall have just and severe punishment for the so doing.  
This is the Resolution of our most Gracious Prince, whom God ever protect with peace and prosperity, and these particulars he is resolved to put in execution against all those that will not concur with His Desires; the which Command strikes joy and comfort to the hearts of His Majesty's loving Subjects, by reason that they have now some hopes to be eased of their Burdens, which they have of late days groaned under.  
His Majesty both sent a Message to the County of Kent, Declaring His will and pleasure therein, commanding the Judges of that County to displace some of the Justices; which by virtue of His Majesties Warrant 1, were dismissed, and five other chosen, who have since their coming into that place, subscribed to certain Articles and Propositions of His Majesty, for raising of Horse, Men, and Money for His Majesty's service, and endeavoured as much as in them lay, to bring the said Propositions to perfection; but their Designs did not take effect for the House having received information of their proceed, forthwith Ordered, that the said Justices should be sent for as Delinquents, and immediately dispatched a Messenger for the apprehending of them.  
Information was also given to the House of His Majesty's Proceed in Yorkshire, and that the Malignant Party had so fare prevailed with His Majesty, that there is now no hopes of Peace, by reason that the King is determined to set up his Standard at Nottingham on Monday next, as it was credibly signified, and reported to the House of Commons upon Wednesday last, being the 17. day of this instant month of Angust.  
And to that end, his Majesty hath caused great preparations for War to be made, declaring His will and pleasure therein, and giving special command to all his loving Subjects for these speedy Repair thither.  
The House having received these sad tidings, forthwith fell into debate thereof, and unanimously, that they held themselves bound in Conscience, for to raise Forces, and to send them down with all possible speed and expedition, for the preservation and Defence of the Religion of Almighty God, the Liberties and peace of the Kingdom, and in pursuit of those wicked and rebellious Traitors, that doth strive and endeavour to involve this Kingdom in a Civil War.  
They are resolved to withstand those wicked Counselors that doth daily incense the King against his Parliament, and through their means hath caused him to set up his Standard; it being the way to bring this Kingdom to destruction, and it is the only course that the Malignant Party can take, to bring Popery and Superstition in this Kingdom, and so by that means beat down and trample under feet Gods true Religion, and Gospel.  
Lastly, the Lords and Commons to witness their constant and firm Loyalty and Affection to His Majesty, do here solemnly Declare, That if his Majesty will be pleased to disbandon all his Forces, and abandon those wicked Councillors that are about him, and leave them to condign punishment, and return and hearken to the advice of his great Council, they will really endeavour to make both His Majesty, and His Posterity, as great, rich, and potent, as much beloved at home, and feared abroad, as any Prince that ever swayed this Sceptre.  
This is their Resolution, and this they are Resolved to maintain with their own precious blood.  
Ordered by the Lords and Commons, That this be printed and published.
