<HEAD>MORE NEVVES FROM THE ARMY</HEAD>
<P N="1"><HI>I.</HI> THat whereas it plea&s;es the honourable Hou&s;es of Parliament, upon mi&s;-infor|mation fal&s;ly &s;ugge&s;ted unto them, to declare
<PB REF="3"><!-- PDF PAGE 88 -->and immediatly publi&s;h in print to the king+dome, that the Petition of the Army, being but only an intention, did tend to put the army into a di&s;temper and mutiny, to ob|&s;truct the relief of Ireland, and to put condi|tions upon the Parliament, and declaring the petitioners if they &s;hall proceed therein, no le&s;&s;e then Enemies to the State, and di&s;tur|bers to the publique peace, which &s;aid heavy charge remaining upon record, we cannot chu&s;e but be deeply &s;en&s;ible thereof, &amp; with amazement wonder, how &s;o humble and in|nocent addre&s;&s;e, intended to the generall, could beget &s;o &s;trange an interpretati|on.</P>
<P><HI>The Hou&s;e of Commons have voted to call in the &s;aid Declaration according to this Propo&s;iti|on, and that it &s;hall not remaine upon Record a|gain&s;t them, and the concurrence of the Lords de|&s;ired therein.</HI></P>
<P N="2">II. Thet whereas tho&s;e per&s;ons that haue at|tempted to beget and attempt, and fo<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="bleedthrough" EXTENT="1 letter">en<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="bleedthrough" EXTENT="1 letter"> divi&s;ions between the Parliament and their army, by their &s;urrepticion<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="bleedthrough" EXTENT="1 letter">; obtaining and
<PB REF="3"><!-- PDF PAGE 88 -->mi&s;-repre&s;enting our petitions, and by pro|ducing other &s;candalous letters from un|known hands by them produced, the Au|thors whe are concealed, and not brought forth to make a judiciall proofe of tho&s;e things laid to our charge which we cannot but look upon as a ju&s;t cau&s;e of griefe, that the &s;ugge&s;tors of &s;uch untruths &s;eeme to bee incouraged, and we who are innocent remain unju&s;tified.</P>
<P N="3">III. That divers Officers of the Army of pub|like and known integrity, have been (uppon what grounds we know not) &s;ent for to the Parliament as Celinquents; &s;ome whereof do at this pre&s;ent attend there, and cannot pro|cure a tryall having nothing con&s;iderable laid to their charge, &amp;c.</P>
<P><HI>Col Lilburn, Major Sander&s;on, and the re&s;t are di&s;charged from any further attendance.</HI></P>
<P N="4">IV. That whereas we under&s;tand, that the Par|liament hath voted a &s;udden disbanding of the Army, not having made &s;ufficient provi|&s;ion for the auditing of our arrears, makes us &s;en&s;ible; how difficult it will be after our di&s;|banding, for obtaining thereof.</P>
<P><PB REF="4"><!-- PDF PAGE 89 -->
<HI>Both Hou&s;es voted to referre it to the Com|mittee of the army, to con&s;ider of In&s;tructions for &s;tating the Arriers, &amp;c.</HI></P>
<P N="5">V. That no provi&s;ion hath been made for the payment of our dearly earned wages by the expence of our bloud, and often hazzard of our lives, that it will inevitably expo&s;e us (e|&s;pecially the private Souldiers, to great ex|tremities) being hardly &s;ufficient to main|tain many of them in their journies to their own homes.</P>
<P><HI>The Commons have voted the common Soul|diery and inferiour Officers all their pay, and chiefe Officers three Moneths pay.</HI></P>
<P N="6">VI. That nothing as yet hath been perfected for our future &s;ecurity for things done as Souldiers, in relation to the warre, which the exigency thereof hath compelled thereunto, &amp;c.</P>
<P><HI>The Commons have voted to pa&s;&s;e a fuller Ordinance for Indempnity of the Souldiers, and the Lords concurrence to be de&s;ired.</HI></P>
<P N="7"><PB REF="4"><!-- PDF PAGE 89 -->
VII. That we &s;tand in feare of being pre&s;t, to &s;erve as &s;ouldiers out of the Kingdome.</P>
<P><HI>Votes have pa&s;&s;ed, that &s;uch as have willingly &s;erved the Parliament &s;hall not be forced to &s;erve out of the Kingdome in any wars, &amp;c.</HI></P>
<P N="8">VIII. That the parliaments Declaration, in re|&s;pect of freedome to tho&s;e that were Appren|tices, may be put in force again&s;t &s;uch Ma|<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="3 letters">ts as refu&s;e it.</P>
<P><HI>Votes have pa&s;&s;ed for the making free of Ap|prentices, reckoaing the time &s;pent in the Parlia|ments &s;ervice, as if they had been with their ma|sters.</HI></P>
<P N="9">IX. That many &s;ouldiers who have lo&s;t their liues, widowes who have lo&s;t their husbands and children their parents in this &s;ervice, &amp; thereby reduced to great extremities, even to beggary for want of provi&s;ion for their &s;ub&s;i&s;tance, are not &s;ufficiently provided for a future livelyhood.</P>
<P><HI>May</HI> 28. <HI>An Ordinance pa&s;&s;ed both Hou&s;es for reliefe of maymed &s;ouldiers, and the widowes and Orphants of &s;uch as have dyed in the &s;ervice of the Parliament.</HI></P>
<P><PB REF="5" MS="y"><!-- PDF PAGE 90 -->
Having thus as fully as we are able, ac|counted &amp; mentioned what was the true <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="2 letters">|nuine <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="4 letters">e of the Army, and not their imaginary co<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">+ceits, but their grievances, that inevitably fall upon us, unle&s;&s;e the Parliament take cour&s;e to prevent then: if the time allowed us by you would admit, we could more ful|ly demon&s;trate. We a&s;&s;ume the boldne&s;&s;e to intreat you to be deeply &s;en&s;ible of, and repre&s;ent to the Parliament the&s;e particulars, in &s;uch an humble way, and to right us if we &s;hall be mi&s;repre&s;ented to the Parliament by any, and &s;o farre as you can cover our weakne&s;&s;es, that have or may &s;lip from us, and prevent any &s;candals, that the malice of any men do &s;eek herein to a&s;per&s;e us, when we &s;hall be inquired into.</P>
<P>A Declaration, an Ordiance for oblivion, and other Papers al&s;o are to be &s;ent to the Army, and declared to them at a generall Randezvouzes.</P>
