To His Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax Generall Of the PARLIAMENTS Forces The humble Petition of the Officers and Souldiers of the Army under your Command Sheweth THat ever since our first ingaging in this service for preserving the power of this Kingdome in the hands of the Parliament we have in our severall places served them with all faithfulness And although we have layn under many discouragements for want of pay and other necessaries yet have we not disputed their commands disobeyed their orders nor disturbed them with Petitions nor have there any visible discontents appeared amongst us to the incouragement of their enemies and the impediment of their affaires but have with all chearfulness done Summer services in Winter seasons improving the utmost of our abilities in the advancement of their service And seeing God hath crowned our indeavours with the end of our desires viz. the dispersing of their publike enemies and reducing them to their obedience The King being now brought in our Brethren the Scots satisfied and departed the Kingdome all dangers seemingly blown over and Peace in all their Quarters We imboldned by their manifold promises and Declarations to protect and defend those that appeared and acted in their service herewith humbly present to your Excellencie the annexed Representations of our desires which we humbly beseech your Excellencie to recommend or represent in our behalfs to the Parliament And your Petitioners shall ever Honour and Pray for your Excellency c.

FIrst whereas the necessitie and exigencie of the War hath put us upon many actions which the Law would not warrant nor we have acted in a time of settled Peace we humbly desire that before our disbanding a full and sufficient provision may be made by Ordinance of Parliament to which the Royall assent may be desired for our indempnity and security in all such cases 2. That Auditors or Commissioners may be speedily appointed and authorized to repair to the head-quarter of this Army to andite and state our accompts as well for all former services as for our services in this Army and that before the disbanding of the Army satisfaction may be given to the Petitioners for their arrears that so the charge trouble and loss of time which we must otherwise necessarily undergo in attendance for the obtaining of them may be prevented we having had experience that many have been reduced to miserable extremities even almost starved for want of reliefe by their tedious attendance And that no Officer may be charged with any thing in his accompt that doth not particularly concern himself 3. That those who have voluntarily served the Parliament in the late Wars may not hereafter be compelled by press or otherwise to serve as souldiers out of this Kingdome Nor those who have served as Horsemen may be compelled by press to serve on foot in any future case 4. That such in this Army as have lost their limbs and the wives and children of such as have been slain in the service and such Officers or souldiers as have sustained losses or have been prejudiced in their estates by adhereing to the Parliament or in their persons by sickness or imprisonment under the Enemy may have such allowances and satisfaction as may be agreeable to Justice and equity 5. That till the Army be disbanded as aforesaid some course may be taken for the supply thereof with moneys whereby we may be enabled to discharge our Quarters that so we may not for necessary food be beholding to the Parliaments enemies burthensome to their friends or oppressive to the country whose preservation we have always indeavoured and in whose happiness we should still rejoyce The Officers present at the Debates following Viz.
