[28 May 1642.]
Whereas, by an Act made this present Session of Parliament,
intituled, An Act for the speedy and effectual reducing of the
Rebels in His Majesty's Kingdom of Ireland to their due
Obedience to His Majesty and the Crown of England; among
other Things, it is enacted, That no Part of the Money, which
shall be paid in according to the said Act, shall be employed to
any other Purpose than the reducing of the said Rebels, until the
said Rebels shall be declared to be subdued by the said Lords and
Commons as aforesaid; and that the said Money shall be employed
for the speedy and effectual subduing of the said Rebels, by sending
over into the said Realm of Ireland, and disposing there, such
Forces of Foot and Horse, Monies, Ammunition, Victuals, and all
other Things necessary to a War, in such Manner as the said Lords
and Commons in Parliament shall from time to time direct; and
the Overplus of the said money, if any shall be, to be disposed as
the said Lords and Commons shall likewise direct.
And whereas the said Forces cannot be sent over, but first they
must be raised:
It is therefore Declared, by the said Lords and Commons, That
whatsoever Forces of Horse or Foot shall be sent over, by virtue
of the said Act, may be raised by the Direction of the Lords and
Commons, by virtue of the Act aforesaid.
