Order in Parliament. Whereas divers well-affected citizens of London and
others have advanced large sums of money and other supplies for the safety
of the King, Parliament, and kingdom, and have also set forth many soldiers
under the Earls of Essex and Warwick: yet for the better safety of King,
Parliament, and City, and no way hindering the former intentions, divers of
the said well-affected persons are willing to raise some soldiers, and maintain
them for several months during these times of danger, provided they may
have the Public Faith of the kingdom for repayment of such loans;—Parliament
accepts their service, and engages the Public Faith of the kingdom for repayment of all such loans with interest, and orders the Lord Mayor and sheriffs to
appoint sub-committees to take the subscriptions, and order the performance of
this service. [A 1, pp. 29, 30. Printed in Lords' Journals, Vol. V., pp. 445, 446.] |

You, with the other treasurers of parishes, are to assemble from time to time,
holding your Court at Weavers' Hall, or elsewhere, to collect subscriptions by
monthly payments, beginning from 1 December, and to deal with the deputies,
common councilmen, churchwardens, and all others of the several wards and
parishes in and about London, and particularly those wards, &c., that have not
yet chosen treasurers or committees, to forward the work. Six shall be a quorum;
but to promote the business, the majority of you should be present. You may
appoint your own collectors of subscriptions. [A 1, pp. 30–32.] |

1. List of 38 parishioners of St. Peter's, Cornhill, who lend, on the Lord

| Nov. 29. |
2. Note by Mr. Mayden of sums promised by the churchwardens, some
named, of Mildred Poultry and 40 other parishes, varying from 38l. to 3,419l.
[total 13,975l. 10s.]. With note that only 77 parishes have sent in returns, and

3. Note of several places in the suburbs where the parties assessed object

| Nov. ? |
4. Request that the Ordinance of 29 November for assessments be enlarged
to places adjacent the City, in Middlesex and Surrey, and within 3 miles
compass. The well-affected of those places find a general refractoriness in
the inhabitants to contributions, and it is a discouragement to them when the
refractory contribute not. [1 page.] |
