Britain called England,” it is enact- 
ed, That it shall be lawful for us, 
in the cases and in manner therein 
mentioned, the occasion being first 
~ declared in council, and notified by 
proclamation, if no parliament shall 
be then sitting, to order and direct 
the drawing out and embodying of 
our militia forces, or any part there- 
of. And whereas we have received 
information that in breach of the 
laws, and notwithstanding our royal 
proclamation of the 2lst day of 
May last, the utmost industry is still 
employed by evil-disposed persons 
within this kingdom, acting in con- 
cert with persons in foreign parts, 
with a view to subvert the laws and 
established constitution of this 
realm, and to destroy all order and 
government therein; and that a 
spirit of tumult and disorder, there- 
by excited, has lately shewn itself 
in acts of riot and insurrection: And 
whereas, under the present circum- 
stances, it is more particularly 
necessary that, for the immediate 
suppression of such attempts, some 
additions should be made, as the 
exigency of the case may require, 
to the force which may be in readi- 
ness to act forthe support of the civil 
magistrate, —we therefore being 
determined to exert the powers 
vested in us by law for the protec- 
tion of the persons, liberties, and 
properties of our faithful subjects, 
and fully relying on their zeal and 
attachment to our person and go- 
vernment, and to the happy consti- 
tution ¢stablishedin these kingdome, 
have thought fit to declare in our 
council, our royal intention, for the 
causes aforesaid, to draw out and 
embody such part of our militia- 
forces as may more immediately en- 
able us to provide for the said im- 
portant objects. _And we do here-

of our reign, entitled, ‘‘ An act 
for amending and reducing into

day; and whereas we have thought 
fit, in pursuance of the said act, 
this day to declare in our council,

us to order and direct, that such 
part of our militia-forces as may 
more immediately enable us to pro-
