His Majesties Declaration , for the Relief of the poor Miners , within the County of Derby . CHARLES R.

WHereas We are well informed , by such as We have expresly imployed , That the Miners and Workmen of Our Mines in Our County of Derby are falling into great wants , and likely to be deprived of the means of sustaining themselves and families by their labours , by occasion of severall oppressions , and the stoppage of the Vessels employed in the carriage of Lead ( the commodity upon which , by their labours , they subsist ) by the illegall and hostile Courses used by Sir John Hotham at Hull . We therefore , tendring the relief of Our said poor Miners , out of Our Princely care , have thought good hereby to declare : That all such of Our said Subjects who are willing , and able in body , and shall voluntarily repair to Nottingham , to Our present Army , without sound of Drum , shall forthwith receive five shillings a peece for their charges in coming thither , and be afterwards entertained , and duly receive their pay of six shilings by the weeke , during their Service in Our present wars . And , upon the disbanding of Our Army , all such of the Miners aforesaid , as have faithfully served Vs , shall be , during their lives , freed and exempted from payment of Lot , Cope , and Custome for all such Dare as they shall digge in Our said Mines ; and if it shall happen , any of them to dye in Our said Service , the Widdow of the deceased shall have liberty to employ a Servant , and injoy such benefits , anb priviledges , during their lives , as their Husbands should have had , in case they had survived .

And to the end , that this Our Declaration , and pious Intention may be made known to Our said Subjects , We do hereby require such Parsons , Vicars , and Curats in Our said County , to whom these presents shall come , forthwith to publish the same in their Parish Churches : And for so doing this shall be , as well unto them , as unto all others whom it may concern , a sufficient Warrant and Discharge .

Given at Our Court at York , this 15 of August . 1642.

Imprinted at York by ROBERT BARKER , Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majestie : And by the Assignes of JOHN Bill . 1642.
