By the Lord Protector . A PROCLAMATION ABOUT Dissolving the Parliament .

WHereas We summoned Our High Court of Parliament to assemble and meet together at Our City of Westminster the Twenty seventh day of January last , which hath continued until this present day ; And whereas We did by Our Commission under Our Great Seal of England , bearing date at Westminster this present Twenty second day of April , for divers weighty Reasons , Declare Our Pleasure and Resolution to Dissolve the said Parliament : And to that end did thereby constitute and appoint Our right Trusty and right Welbeloved Counsellor Nathanael Lord Fiennes , one of the Lords Keepers of Our Great Seal of England , and others Our Commissioners in Our Name , this said present Twenty second day of April to Dissolve Our said Parliament , which was by them done according to the tenor of the said Commission in the usual place , and by virtue thereof Our said Parliament is absolutely Dissolved . Nevertheless We have thought it necessary , with the Advice of Our Privy Councel , by this Our Proclamation to publish and make known the same , to the end all persons whom it may concern may take notice thereof .
