England and Wales Parliament.
A declaration and protestation of the Lords and Commons in Parliament to this Kingdom, and the whole world: wherein (amongst divers of His Majesties late illegall proceedings) is discovered, how severall commissions under the Kings authority have been granted to many profest papists (herein nominated) for places of command in this warre, with power to raise men and armes, which in sundry places they have performed. Also, how Sir Iohn Hinderson and Collonel Cockram were sent to Hamburgh and Denmarke, to raise forces there, and in other forraine parts, to bring into this kingdom. With the names of some who have been proclaimed rebels in Ireland, now in great favor with his Majesty. For which and other reasons they are resolved to enter into a solemne oath and covenant with God to the utmost of their power, with the hazzard of their lives and fortunes to defend the truth against the Kings popish army, and all that shall joyn with them in the prosecution of this wicked designe..
