We have thought fit , for Our Service , and for your Peace and Quiet , that such , as you have just reason to suspect of ill Designs against the Peace of Our Government , may be secured by Imprisonment , or otherways , as you shall think fit : And because We have taken Our standing Forces from that Kingdom , and that the Levying of Men , Foot or Horse , may be for the well of Our Service , We leave to you , to raise such as you shall think fit , and to augment Our Garisons , as you shall find convenient . And We do hereby Authorize and Require you to give Commissions to such Officers of Militia , as you shall judge proper ; And likewayes , to appoint Officers over the Heretors , as you shall judge fit : For doing all which , this shall be your Warrant : And so We bid you heartily Farewell .
