Die Veneris, 27 o Iunij, 1645.

IT is this day Ordered by the Commons assembled in PARLIAMENT, That in regard many hundreds of the Common Souldiers lately taken Prisoners by Sir Thomas Fairfax, have very cheerfully listed themselves for the Service of the PARLIAMENT, against those bloudy and barbarous Rebels of Ireland, and are ready to be transported into that Kingdome with all convenient speed; That all the Ministers of the severall Churches and Chappels within the Cities of London and Westminster, Lines of Communication and the Weekly Bils of Mortality, be especial­ly desired, both in the fore-noon and after-noon of the next Lords day, to move effectually their respective Congregations, to contribute their Charity towards the relief and transportation of those Souldiers which are willing to adventure their Lives in so pious and honourable imployment. And all such Monies as shall be collected by the respective Officers and Churchwardens for this Service, shall be paid over on Monday next, to Alderman Bunce, Alderman Kenrick, and the rest of the Treasurers appointed to receive the Fourscore thousand Pounds upon the late Ordi­nance for Ireland. And the Committee of Adventurers for Ire­land sitting at Grocers-Hall, are desired to give their best assi­stance for the advancing of this charitable Contribution, which shall be issued out for the relief of the said Souldiers, in such manner as by warrant from the Committee of Prisoners shall be from time to time directed.
