WHereas it doth appear to the Lords and Commons in Par­liament, That the King, seduced by wicked. Counsell, doth intend to leavy Warre against his Parliament; And whereas Information hath been given, That the Jewels of the Crown (which by the Law of the Land ought not to be alienated) are either pawned or sold in Amsterdam, or some other parts beyond the Seas, and thereby great Sums of Money provided to be re­turned to York, or to some of His Majesties Servants or Agents for His Majesties use: And whereas 'tis more then probable, That this great Provision of Moneyes in such an extraordinary way, is to maintain this intended Warre, and thereby to bring the whole Kingdom into utter ruine and combustion. It is therefore declared by the Lords and Com­mons in Parliament, That whosoever hath been, or shall be an Actor in the selling or pawning of any of the Jewels of the Crown, or hath, or shall pay, lend, send, or bring any Money in Speciè into this Kingdom, for, or upon any of those Jewels; Or whosoever hath, or shall accept of any Bill from beyond the Seas, for the payment of any sum of Money for, or upon any of those Jewels, and shall passe any sum according to such Bill, after notice of this Order, without acquainting this House with the receipt of such Bill before he accept the same; Or if he have already accepted any such Bill, then with the acceptance thereof before the payment of the Money, Every such person shall be held and ac­counted a promoter of this intended Warre, an enemy to the State, and ought to give satisfaction for this publique dammage out of His own Estate.
