BY THE KING ❧ A Proclamation for the redresse of certaine Grievances complained of by the Inhabitants of the County of OXFORD .

WHEREAS Complaint hath been made to His Majestic on the behalf of the Inhabitants of this County of Oxford , that although they have agreed to a great weekly Contribution by way of Loane towards the Provision of His Majesties Horse , yet in many parts of this County , they suffer in these particulars following , wherein they humbly pray to be releived .

First , That the Souldiers do put their Horses into the standing-corne , and do eate and spoile it , which will be an utter undoing to the owners , if it be not remedied .

Secondly , They turne their Horses into their Meddowes , and mowing-grasse , whereby they shall have no Hay to keep their Cattell the next winter , refusing other grasse fit for them .

Thirdly , Whereas there is 3s 6d by the week allowed for a Souldiers Dyet , in many places a Souldier , a Woman , and a Child , or a Boy , be all billetted and dyeted at the same rate , as for one man .

Fourthly , Many of them refuse to give Tickets , when they have been billetted a moneth , or six weeks in a place , and some who do give Tickets , will not make them so perfect , as that the Master of the family can have allowance thereof , when it is brought to the Sheriffe or other Collectour .

Fifthly , Where Souldiers are quartered in a Parish , and sometimes one or a few houses receive them , as the Quarter-Master appoints it , they who receive them can have no contribution from them of the same Parish or Liberty , who receive either none , or a fewer number , whereas the charg being borne by all of ability indifferently , it would be the easier , and the more equall .

His Majestic taking these things into His Princely consideration , doth give His approbation of the reasonablenesse of them all . And being willing to case His good Subjects in all things which He can , and the necessity of the times will permitt Doth now declare His Royall Pleasure and Command that these things above written , and complained of , be from henceforth reformed . & doth require the Commanders and Officers of His Army , as much as in them lyeth , to see the same observed , and that whosoever shall offend therein must expert to receive punishment strictly , according to the quality of his offence , and that both the Inhabitants of the County , and the Souldiers may take the better notice hereof and observe it , His Majestie doth command that this be forthwith Printed and Published in every Church and Parochiall Chappell within this County .

Given at His Majesties Court in OXFORD , this third day of June , in the nineteenth yeare of His Majesties Reigne . God Save the KING .

Printed at Oxford by LEONARD LICHFIELD , Printer to the University . 1643.
