WHEREAS by Our Proclamation of the Twenty second day of December last , We did for the important reasons therein expressed , give Order for Assembling the Members of both Houses of Parliament at Oxford , upon occasion of the intended Invasion of this Kingdom by the Scots : And therein promised to give Order that Care should be taken for their severall Accommodations here , whereof now the difficulty is represented to Us , in respect both the severall Lodgings in the Colledges and Halls , and throughout the City are found filled with Lodgers , many whereof are taken up by Persons who have neither dependance on Us , Our deare Consort the QUEENE , nor Our Sonnes the Prince and Duke of Yorke , nor relation to Our Army , but are forced hither from their owne Inhabitations , by the Insolency and Tyranny of the Rebells , and so are compelled to shelter themselves under Our Protection : which Case ( belonging truly to many , though not to all ) We much commiserate , and doe look upon such Persons , not only as sufferers , but as Persons whose Loyalty occasions much of the Rebells malice against them , so that were We not led thereunto by Necessity , We should in no wise give the least interruption to their stay here . But since the Calling of this Assembly is so necessary , and is grounded upon so publick Considerations , We cannot avoyd it . And therefore doe hereby peremptorily Command , That all Persons , who are at present Lodged in this University , and City of Oxford , who are here only for Protection , be , before Friday next , removed out of their said Lodgings here , and such Members of both Houses as are by Our said Proclamation summoned hither , be placed therein . Neverthelesse Our Intention is , and We doe hereby give them to understand , that when they shall expresse to what other place within Our Obedience they will remove , be it in what Garrison Town soever , they shall receive Recommendations from Us , to the Governours of Our said Townes or Places they will remove unto , To the end , that according to their Qualities , they may be there conveniently lodged and provided for . And Our further strict Pleasure is , That all Commanders , Officers , and Souldiers , who by their Commands here , are to have Lodgings in this City , be Lodged in no other Quarters , but those assigned unto the Souldiery . And all other Officers and Souldiers , who having Command in any other place , doe keep Lodgings in this City , that they be removed to their Quarters where their Command is . And We referre it to the Chancellour of this Our University , that all such Scholars , as he shall think fit , may be sent home , and otherwise provided for . And in respect the time appointed for the Assembly is so nigh at hand , We require the Chancellour of this Our University , and the Governour of this Our City , to perform this Our Pleasure with all speed . And Our severall Harbingers are hereby required to take notice thereof , and to perform their Offices accordingly , and hereof not to faile .
