WHereas, upon Summons from Vs, divers Gentlemen of this our County of York did attend Vs upon Thursday the twelfth of this instant May, when Wee declared Our Resolution (for the Reasons then delive∣red by Vs) to have a Guard to secure and defend Our Person, and desired there 〈…〉〈…〉 Concurrence and Assistance of the Gen∣try of this County. And whereas divers Gentlemen of this County, for many Reasons and Occasions, could not then appeare to receive Our pleasure on that behalfe, whereunto divers have subscribed. VVe have therefore thought good hereby to give notice as wel to those Gentlemen who were not then present, as to those who did then attend Vs, that Our Command is, That as wel those Gentlemen who are charged with Horse, as others, appeare at Yorke upon Friday the twentieth of this Moneth, in such manner and equipage as will be convenient for the guard of our person. And we require and command, That in the interim no other warrants, Order, or Command whatso∣ever shall distract or hinder this Our service. And we further will and command, That this Our Order be forthwith pub∣lished by the Sheriffe of this Our County: For which this shall be sufficient warrant.
