The Parliaments Resolution to to raise Forces to suppress all those that are promoters of the war begun at Hull, against Sir John Hotham.  
THe World cannot be ignorant how active the malignant party hath been in their designs, and councells about his Majesty, both before and during the sitting of this present Parliament, using their utmost power to ruin the true Protestant Religion, with the liberty and laws of the kingdom, and that after many traitorous designs against the Parliament,( by Gods providence made frustrate) they drew his Majesty into the northern parts, publishing in his name many scandalous reproaches against the Lords and Commons assembled in parliament, making his Majesties Court a privilege place to shelter Delinquents from the Iustice of Parliament, with many other Actions tending to the subversion of the original constitution and frame of this kingdom.  
And that the path of their designs might be more easy, and that they might obtain power to perfect their bad purposes, they wrought with His Majesty to displace the earl of pembroke, the earls of Essex and Holland, and the Lord Fielding, for no other cause then discharging their Consciences in Parliament.  
Likewise the earl of Northumberland put from his place of high Admirall-ship, then the which Act, there can be none so great a promoter of future distractions and fatal confusion, as the sad bereaving the State of the Service of so noble a Person as he is.  
By his majesties Order, a Garrison of Souldiers is put into Newcastle, under the Command of the earl of Newcastle, who should have seized upon Hull, if not timely prevented by the discreet wisdom and judicious care of that great council of the Kingdom, the high Court of Parliament.  
Moreover there is another cause of fear that some sudden stratagem will suddenly be put in execution by the Papists, by reason the earl of Rivers lately a notorious Papist, although he now come to Church,( as is conceived purposely to be made capable of employment) is put into the Commission of Array, which he hath executed with rigor, imprisoning divers persons which refused to submit thereunto, or did any way oppose him.  
Fortifications are raised upon the mouth of the River Tine, whereby upon the least occasion the Trade of coals may be stopped, or at least sold at such rates as they shall please to set, to the great detriment of the whole Kingdom, especially the city of London.  
Sundry Commissions are granted for raising of Horse, divers Officers for the Army are already appointed.  
several troops of Horse are sent into Lincoln-shire, to the great terror of the well affencted People, who are thereby forced either to forsake their dwellings and habitations, or to defend themselves with Armed men, they beginning already to commit divers outrages, taking away mens Horses by Force, and daily committing other Acts of Hostility.  
Likewise their invetterate malice extends so far against all those that strive to oppose them, and takes part with the Parliament, that they neglect no attempt that may conduce to the damage of the distressed party, as may appear by their proceedings against Hull, where all means of relief is kept from coming to the inhabitants of the said town, his Majesty( persuaded by them) is come thither with an Army, all which being considered, the war being thus begun by his Majesty, the Lords and Commons hold themselves bound in Conscience to raise Forces for the preservation of the Peace of the kingdom, the defence and security of Parliament, and of all those who have been employed by them in any public service for these ends.  
In the performance of which, they desire the concurrence of the well disposed Subjects of this kingdom, and shall manifest by their courses and endeavours, that they are carried by no respects but of the public good, and they will always prefer the same before their own lives and fortunes, and shall ever be more careful in their endeavours and councils, to prevent a civill war, so that it rests onely that the true born English Nation do consider whether they will adhere to the King and Parliament, by whom they have so long enjoyed all that is dear unto them, or to the King seduced by wicked council, and cavaliers, which have designed all to slavery and confusion, which by Gods blessing and our endeavours, may be timely prevented.   

Ordered by the Lords and Commons, assembled in Parliament, that this be Printed and published.
