Defence thereof; and also Power to give the same
Order and Instructions, in his said Excellency's Absence, for regulating the Soldiers which were or
should be under his Command, as his Excellency
[ (fn. *) hath given] to his Army; and to use Martial
Law, to compel Obedience thereunto, as Occasion
should require; and also Power and Authority to
make and appoint all Officers, for levying and conducting and leading the said Forces, as he should
think fit:
"And whereas the said Lords and Commons have given
and declared Instructions for the Lords Lieutenants,
Committees of Parliament, and other Officers and
Commanders over the said Cities and Counties, and
Parts adjacent, by them to be observed; and whereas
the County of Salop is adjacent to the Counties aforesaid; it is now further Ordered and Ordained, by
the said Lords and Commons in Parliament, That the
Lords Lieutenants of the County of Salop, and the
Committee of Parliament for the said County hereafter named (that is to say), William Pierepont Esquire,
Sir John Corbett, Sir Gilbert Cornwall, Knights,
Sir Marton Briggs Baronet, Richard Moore, Thomas
Mitton, Robert Corbett of Stanwardene in the Wood,
Andrew Lloyd, Thomas Nicholls, Humfrey Mackworth,
John Corbett of Alstone, Lanclott Lee, Robert Talbott,
Esquires, Samuell Moore, Thomas Hunt, Hercules Kinersley, Wm. Rowley, Thomas Knight, John Proud, and
John Lloyd, Gentlemen, and all Colonels, Lieutenant
Colonels, Serjeant Majors, and other Captains and
Officers, and other well-affected Persons, inhabiting in
the said County of Salop, and Parts adjacent, shall
and may, for the Purposes beforementioned, associate
themselves with the said Lords Lieutenants and Committees of Parliament, and other Inhabitants, of the
said several Counties of Warwick and Stafford, and
the Cities and Counties of Coventry and Lichfield, and,
with the Lords Lieutenants, Committees of Parliament,
and the Officers and Commanders of the said County
of Salop, shall and may observe, perform, and execute
the said Instructions, Powers, Authorities, and Ordinances, to all Intents and Purposes, within the said
County of Salop and Parts adjacent, as are Declared
and Ordained by the said Lords and Commons in Parliament, to be executed by the said respective Lords
Lieutenants, Committees of Parliament, and other Officers and Commanders, (fn. *) within the said Counties of Warwick, Stafford, and Cheshire, and Cities and Counties
of Coventry, Lichfield, and Chester respectively; and
the said Lords and Commons do desire the said
Earl of Essex to grant a Commission to the aforesaid Sir John Corbett, to be General of all the Forces
in the County of Salop, for the Service aforesaid,
with Power and Authority to make, nominate, and appoint all other Commanders and Officers under him,
and to raise Soldiers in the said Counties and Cities,
for the mutual Aid, Assistance, and Defence of the
said Counties and Cities, and for the Preservation of
the Peace of them, or any of them: And forasmuch
as the said County of Salop is wholly subjected to the
Oppression of the Commissioners of Array, Papists,
and other ill-affected Persons, who not only impose a
Protestation upon such of His Majesty's good Subjects
that are well-affected to the King and Parliament, by
which they are concluded for yielding any Assistance
or Contribution for Maintenance of such Forces as
are or shall be raised by Authority of both Houses of
Parliament, which hath caused many of them to leave
their Habitations, and fly out of the said County; but
also have plundered their Houses, spoiled their Goods,
and seized their Real and Personal Estates, so that
they are utterly disabled to rescue themselves from
so great Oppression: It is therefore Ordered and
Ordained, by the Lords and Commons in Parliament,
That, in Case any Person or Persons shall lend any
Sum or Sums of Money, for Advancement of the
present [ (fn. †) Service of the said] County of Salop, an
Acquittance under the Hands of any Three of the
said Committees (whereof the said Sir Jo. Corbett to
be One) shall be sufficient to such Person or Persons
to require Re-payment thereof, upon the Public Faith,
or out of such Money as shall be levied by Assessment
to be made in the said County of Salop, by virtue of
the Instructions aforementioned; and that Duplicates
of Rolls be made, containing the Names and Surnames
and Places of Abode (fn. †) of every Person charged by
virtue of this Ordinance, with the particular Sum upon such of them so set and assessed; and that like
Duplicates be made of such Sums of Money and
other Things as shall be received, disbursed, employed,
or expended in this Service, upon just Accompt to be
made and allowed by both Houses of Parliament:
And it is further Ordered, by the Lords and Commons, That the Committee for the County of Salop,
or any Four of them, shall have full Power and Authority, and are hereby authorized, to seize, receive,
and take, all Arms, Rents, Monies, Horses, Goods,
Debts, and Plate, of all Bishops, Deans, Chapters,
Papists, and all and every other Person and Persons,
Ecclesiastical or Temporal, which are or shall be in
actual War against the Parliament, or have raised, or
shall raise, any Arms against the same, or have or
shall voluntarily contribute thereunto, within the said
County; and the said Arms, Rents, Horses, Goods,
Debts, and Plate, to detain for the Public Service
and Employment of the Parliament and Kingdom,
rendering an Accompt therefor to the Parliament, or
to such as shall be by them appointed: And it is
further Ordered, That the Tenants of the Persons
beforementioned be enjoined and required to pay
their Rents accordingly unto the Hands of the said
Committee, or any Four of them."
