WE do declare, That We will not require nor exact any Obedience from you,
but what shall be warranted by the known Law of the Land; as We do ex∣pect,
that you shall not yield to any Commands not legally grounded, or
imposed by any other.
And We do further declare, That We will defend every one of you, and all such as
shall refuse any such Commands, whether they proceed from Votes and Orders of both
Houses, or any other way, from all dangers and hazards whatsoever.

And We do further declare, That We will defend the true Protestant Religion esta∣blished
by the Law of the Land, the lawful Liberties of the Subjects of England, and just
Privileges of all the three Estates of Parliament: and shall require no further Obedience
from you, then as accordingly We shall perform the same.
And We do declare, That we will not (as is falsly pretended) engage you, or any of
you, in any War against the Parliament, except it be for Our necessary defence and
safety against such as do insolently invade or attempt against Us or such as shall adhere
to Us.
York, 13. Junii, 1642.

whatsoever.
We will defend the true Protestant Religion established by the Law of the Land, the

both Your Houses of Parliament.
And lastly, we engage our selves, not to obey any Rule, Order or Ordinance whatso∣ever,
concerning any Militia, that hath not the Royal Assent.
