A Declaration of the Gentlemen and Inhabitants of the County OF BRECKNOCK.

WEe the Gentry and Inha­bitants of the county of Brecknock, whose Names are subscribed, Do declare and professe, That we are fully satis­fied in conscience, that the two Hou­ses of Parliament now sitting at West­minster, are the true and undoubted lawfull Parliament of England, and the Supreme Court of Iudicature of [Page 4] the Kingdom; To whose Iudgement and Determination we do and will, in conscience of our Loyalty, and not by terror or constraint, submit our selves, our lives and fortunes.

VVe are also perswaded and con­fesse, That the Arms taken up and continued by Authority of Parlia­ment in this Defensive war, are raised and continued in their own just De­fence, and for the just Defence of the protestant Religion, the person and Honour of the Kings Majesty, the priviledges of Parliament, and the Liberty of the Subject; And that the Forces raised or to be raised within the Kingdom of England, or Domi­nion of Wales, without their consent, are raised and imployed for destru­ction of Parliaments, fomenting and [Page 5] establishing of popery, prelacy, and an Illegall and Arbitrary Govern­ment.

In apprehension whereof, we do unanimously resolve, and firmly in­gage and undertake, That we, with all persons under our power and com­mand, will from hence forward, to the extreamest hazard of our Lives and Fortunes, adhere to and assist the For­ces raised or to be raised by Autho­rity of Parliament, against all other Forces raised or to be raised against them, or without their consent; And we shall willingly and cheerfully joyn with Major Generall Laughorn, and those three Associated counties wher­of he is Major Generall, And with the county of Glamorgan, with whom we are already Associated; And con­tribute [Page 6] our utmost assistance, and en­deavours proportionably to the said respective counties, in such way as Major Generall Laughorn shall think fit, and meetest for the service of the Parliament.

And from this Resolution and Engagement we shall not swerve or receade, by adhering to the contrary party, or imbracing a detestable Neu­trality, either by perswasion, dread, or any other motive whatsoever.
