WHereas the Lords in Parliament assembled, did upon the first of this instant February order▪ That a Declaration should be prin­ted and published, wherein amongst other things it was decla­red, That the Committees of the severall Counties of England and Dominion of Wales, ought not to obey any Order for the taking off or suspending any Sequestrations untill a Committee or Commissioners for that purpose should be setled by Ordi­dinance of Parliament: And whereas since that time there is an Ordinance past upon the sixth of this instant February, gi­ving power to certaine Lords and Commons Members of Parliament, with some others therein named, to be Commissioners to sit at Goldsmiths Hall for compounding with Delinquents, and to act according to severall Ordinances or Orders made before the date of the said Ordinance by both or either of the Houses of Parliament concerning the Committee at Goldsmiths Hall: And that the said Commissioners should have pow­er to suspend the Sequestration of such Delinquents as should compound with the said Commissioners: And that such Suspentions as have beene already made by the Com­mittee at Goldsmiths Hall should stand good. Now the said Lords in Parliament assem­bled (for the preventing any scruple that may arise by reason of the said Declaration) doe (upon the settlement made in this businesse, as aforesaid, by both Houses) thinke fit to de­clare, That the Committees in the severall Counties, and all others whom it may concerne, doe give obedience to the said Ordinance and every part thereof.

ORdered by the Lords assembled in Parliament, That this Declara­tion shall be printed and published; and that the Sheriffes or their Ʋnder-Sheriffes shall take care to carry downe severall printed Copies of this Declaration; and that they be delivered unto the severall Committees for Se­questrations within the Counties of the Kingdome of England and Dominion of Wales, who are to take notice hereof accordingly.
