And we doe further declare, That if it shall appeare that any of these revolted Ships shall endeavour to impede or hinder the Kings Personall Treaty with His two Houses of Parliament, that we will unanimously endeavour with our lives and fortunes to bring them to condigne punishment, according to our Covenant, and Protestation, formerly taken as aforesaid.
