These who have subscribed, are those which were at the first and second meeting. The rest of the Gentry which are far remote, and as well affected, we humbly desire may be added to this our Association.  
John Studley Esq Major of the Town of Shrewsbury, and the rest of the Inhabitants within the said Town and Liberties thereof, do, with a full and general consent, engage themselves to find and furnish one Troop of Dragoneers consisting of sixty, at the charge of the said Town and Liberties; as also two hundred foot soldiers at their charges. Likewise under the command of Sir Francis Ottley Knight, Captain for the said Town, for the defence of the King's majesty's royal Person, The known Laws of the Land, The Liberty and Property of the Subjects, And the Safety of the said Town and Liberties.   

May it please Your majesty,  
WE the Clergy of this County, are (with the Noble Gentry) sensible of Your majesty's Wrongs, and our country's Danger; And therefore with them offer up our Abilities, (with all humility) an hundred Horse, to be under the Command of Sir Vincent Corbett, according to Your majesty's Commission: That so Your loyal Subjects may here live in Peace, and be serviceable to Your majesty.
