A PROCLAMATION declaring His Majesties express Command, That no Popish Recusant, nor any other, who shall refuse to take the two oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy, shall serve Him in His Army. And that the soldiery commit no Rapines upon the People, but be fitly provided of necessaries for their money.  
WHereas Wee heretofore, by Our Proclamation, straightly charged and Commanded, That the laws should bee put into due Execution against Popish Recusants, and Wee have, and shall have it still in Our care, to suppress and prevent the growth of Popery, and to use all good means that may tend thereunto, and not to countenance Papists, by any employment or trust, by or for Vs. And whereas there are now at and near London, great Forces levied, and in levying, and Moneys raising, by way of contribution, and otherwise, towards the charge of raising, or maintaining an Army, or Forces, under pretence of tste Order of our Two Houses of Parliliament, not onely without Our consent, but contrary to Our several express Commands, published by several Proclamations, Letters, and otherwise. And the same Forces are actually in so much forwardness, as that there are divers Horsemen daily Exercised, and trained in places about London and great numbers of foot in raising; and a general, and other principal Officers are nominated and declared, and they have accepted, and taken upon them those places, and have already done several Acts of Hostility against Us, which clearly appear to bee a levying of war against us; We have found it necessary, to raise, and levy Forces, for the defence of the true Protestant Religion, Our Person, the two Houses of Parliament, the laws of the Land, the Liberty and propriety of the subject, and the just privileges of Parliament. And now, lest any Popish Recusants should presume to offer to serve us herein, or procure themselves to bee listed, as Officers, or Souldiers, in Our A●my, without Our knowledge, and to the end that Our intention herein may be clearly known, That whereas one principal aim of raising these Forces, is, for the defence and maintenance of the true Protestant Religion, We may not be served with Papists, as falsely and slanderously hath been objected against Us, We do hereby declare Our express Will and Pleasu e to be, and We do hereby straightly Command, That no Person or persons soever being Popish Recusants, shall presume to come to Our Court, contrary to the Law in such case provided, nor any Popish Recusant, or Papist, take any Office, or Place, or List himself as a soldier in this Service.  
And to the end there may be as full discovery as can be made of such as shall, contrary to this Our Proclamation, be so listed into such Our service, We do straightly command and charge all Officers and Souldiers, who shall bee entred or listed for this Our Service, That upon the first Muster-day after they shall be so Listed, they take the oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance, both which We shall take care shall be tendered unto them according to the Law, throughout Our Army. And if any shall continue his name in those Lists, and yet shall refuse the said oaths, We shall not onely cashier them, but also otherwise proceed against them, according to Law.  
And as We shall be careful that all Our Officers and Souldiers shall be duly payed, that there be no occasion or pretence of necessity amongst them to burden any of Our Subjects, So We do hereby straightly Charge and Command, That none of the said Officers, or Souldiers, presume to take any thing from any of Our good Subjects without due payment for the same, nor commit any unlawful Violence or Outrage. And to all these Our Commands We expect a strict Obedience of all Our Subjects whom it may concern, as they will Answer the contrary at their uttermost peril. And being thus careful that by this Our necessary Service, Our Subiects should not in any degree suffer or be wronged, so We do expect and require, That all Our Sheriffes, Iustices of Peace, Majors, bailiffs, and all other Our Officers and Subiects, should use their best endeavours as there shall be occasion for the assistance and convenient Supplies of Our said Officers, and Souldiers, with such things as shall be necessary and fit for them, at reasonable Rates and Prices.  
Given at Our Court at york the tenth day of August, in the eighteen year of Our reign. 1642.   

A Proclamation for putting the laws against Popish Recusants in due execution.  
THe Kings most Excellent majesty, having been formerly moved by His Parliament, for putting the laws in execution against Papists, whereto he hath from time to time still given his gracious Answers, expressing His willingness thereunto: But now finding, that no such proceedings against them have been yet had, as might answer His majesties expectation: His majesty therefore, out of His Princely and pious care, as well for maintaining the true Protestant Religion established in this kingdom, as for suppressing by lawful ways, all increase and growth of Popery; Hath thought fit to publish His royal Pleasure therein: Wherefore His majesty doth hereby straightly Charge and Command, all and every His Judges, and Justices of Assize, Sheriffs, Iustices of Peace, and other His Officers and Ministers whatsoever; whom it doth any way concern, That they, and every of them, according to the duties of their several Offices and Places, do forth with and without further delay, put in due and effectual Execution the laws and Statutes of this realm, provided and made against Popish Recusants, and that without favour or connivance? As they tender His Majesties just and royal Commands, the good of this Church and kingdom; and will answer for neglect of their duties herein.
