Parliament Debates Armies and Clergy Oversight in Wales
The Commons consider appointing Master Saint John as Attorney General, debate an Ordinance to ally Pembroke, Carmarthen, and Cardigan counties, and raise forces under Rowland Laughorne for defense. Committees may levy funds, seize delinquent estates, and regulate clergy behavior. fines for adherents to the Earl of Carberse are authorized. Additional ordinances cover the Pip South Garrisons in the West, loans and wages, and provisions for the army, with letters from the Lord General read for more monies. The discourse notes readiness to sustain a substantial army and ongoing sieges around Terke.
