And it is further declared, that whosoever is imployed by both or either House of Parliament, concerning the Ordinance for the Militia, or in advan∣cing the Propositions, for raising of Horse, Money, or Plate, according to the instructions of both houses, or in furthering the subscriptions for Jreland, or in any other service of both or either house of Parliament, shall not depart that service, or attend His Majestie upon any summons or commands, signi∣fied by Letter, Proclamation or otherwise, except such Persons shall be compelled to such departure or attendance by Authority of law.
