A Declaration of the Committee for the safetie of the County of Southampton , sitting at Winton the 9th day of June . 1648.

Southamp . County . WHereas it is notoriously knowne , that divers who have been in Armes against the Parliament , and other persons ill affected to the present peace and quietnesse , which by Gods blessing wee have of late enjoyed , have upon a specious pretence of Petitioning the Parliament for a speedy settlement and ease against all Burdens and Taxes , drawne together great multitudes of People in a riotous and warlike manner : And after they have once got into a considerable Body , then led them on into desperate attempts , to the great hazard of inflaming the Kingdome againe into a new and fatall Warre , whereby the Parliament is not onely retarded and hindred in the settlement of the Peace and Government of this Kingdome , but also very sad effects have lately hapned to the said Counties by such tumultuous and disorderly Petitioning by great effusion of bloud , as in Kent , and in other neighbour Counties . And wee being credibly informed that the like unlawfull and dangerous practises are beginning to be set on foote in some parts of this County bordering on Surrey and Sussex , by sending Coppies of the said Petitions of Kent , Surrey , and Sussex , ( in all which is the same matter ) unto such persons as are ill affected to the peace and quiet of this County , thereby labouring and endeavouring to make the same disturbance in this County , as they have so unhappily done in others , to the almost undoing of the same , by making them the Seate of a Warre ; besides their spilling of so much Christian bloud .

Wee doe therefore according to the dutie wee owe unto God , and this our County , hereby give notice and warning to all the Inhabitants of this County , to take heed of , and forbeare all Tumultuous meetings , whether upon pretence of reading , setting hands too , promoting any such Petitions , or upon any other pretences whatsoever . And for farther prevention of such mischiefes and unhappie accidents , wee doe hereby require all Mayors , Constables , and other Officers to be carefull and vigilant , to finde out , and apprehend all such as they shall finde active in drawing together unlawfull Assemblies of people to any such or other pretence whatsoever . And to apprehend and bring them before us , or some of his Majesties Justices of the Peace for this County , to be proceeded against as disturbers of the Peace . Wee doe likewise thinke meete to advise all others whatsoever , as they desire the continuance of the Peace and quiet of this County , to be ayding and assisting for the suppressing and quietting any such disorders .

This is to be published in every Parish-Church in the County of Southampton by the Minister of every respective Parish on the next Lords day after the receipt heereof .
