A DECLARATION OF THE LORDS and COMMONS assembled IN PARLIAMENT.

WHereas the King, seduced by wicked counsell, doth make War against His Parliament and People; And for the promoting of that War, divers Forces both of Horse and Foot have been, and are levyed and raised by severall persons, and His Ma­jesties good Subjects are most cruelly robbed, spoiled and slain:

To the end that no man may be misled through Ig­norance, the Lords and Commons in Parliament declare, That all such persons as shall, upon any pre­tence whatsoever, assist His Majesty in this Warre, with Horse, Arms, Plate or Money, are Traytors to His Majesty, the Parliament and the Kingdom, and shall be brought to condign punishment for so high an offence.

Ordered by the Lords and Commons in Parliament, That this Declaration be forthwith printed and published.
