HIs Majestie being very sensible of the great Miseries and Distresses of His Subjects in the kingdom of Ireland, which go daily increasing so fast, and the Blood which hath been already spilt by the crueltie and barbarousnesse of those Rebels, crying out so loud; and perceiving how slowly the Succours designed thither go on: His Majestie hath thought fit to let your Lordships know, and desires you to acquaint the House of Commons therewith, That His Majestie will take care, that by Commissions which He shall grant, ten thousand English Voluntiers shall be speedily raised for that Service, if so the House of Commons shall declare that they will pay them.
