On June 15th, 1642, the House of Commons ordered that Nicholas Vavasor, who dispersed this pamphlet, should be forthwith summoned and brought in safe custody to answer to the House; and the Stationers' Company were called in and were enjoined by the Speaker to be very careful and diligent in searching after anything that was printed which might reflect upon his Majesty; and it was resolved that an ordinance be drawn for preventing the printing or publishing any scandallous or libellous pamphlet that might reflect upon the King, the kingdom, or the parliament, or Scotland, and for suppressing such as already had been printed.[81] 109.

A Declaration or Resolution of the County of Hereford. 1642. A printed paper, on a single sheet, commencing thus:-- "Wheras the Kingdom for many yeers past hath groned under Taxes of Loans, Shipmoney, and the like dismall effects of an Arbitrary Government and a high stretcht _Prerogative_, for the cure of which distempers a _Parliament_ was held to be the onely good old way of _Physick_ to cleanse the Body Politique from oppressing Crudities (which was heartily desir'd) but not by overstrong Purgations to weaken it in the principall Part, charging it to receive a disposition to the like distemper, or a Relapse into the same, or a worse Disease, which instead of restoring it to its primitive vigour and health, must needs drive it to a fatall Period. Such is our misery, such the just judgment of God upon our Sins.
