The Totall and Finall DEMANDS already made by and to be expected from the AGITATORS AND ARMY Vpon the Concession whereof they will rest fully satisfied and DISBAND When they shall think seasonable but not before in all probability ECCLES. 2. 14. The wise mans eyes are in his head but the fool walketh in darkness LONDON Printed in the Year 1647. The Totall and Finall DEMANDS of the AGITATORS and ARMY Upon Concession whereof they will rest fully satisfied and Disband when they shall think seasonable but not before in all probability 1. THat all the * Forces and Militia of England Ireland Wales and the Islands thereunto belonging the City and Tower of London with all the Towns Forts and Garrisons within England Ireland Wales and the Isles and the Navy of the Kingdom may be immediately put into their hands and power not to inthral the Parliament and people to their wils and tyranny but to maintain the Subjects Freedom and Liberties the Kings Prerogative and Parliaments Priviledges in such sort and for so long time as they in their just discretions shal think meet A demand already concluded and in substance already propounded and granted that so the General only in name and Lieutenant General in truth may become absolute Emperors of all King CHARLS his Realms and Dominions now Captive under their Soveraign Power til the Agitators and Army shal think fit to dethrone him to set up either a new John of L●yden of their own creation or introduce a Popular Tyranny Anarchy which suits best with their * principles and the Peoples Freedom the Supream power and Authority to whom all other powers are subordinate de jure and must be so de facto before this Army disband as their Papers intimate 2. That not only the X-I. accused Members but all Presbyterians and other Members in both Houses opposite to the Armies proceedings or designs in any particular may be cast out of both as wel as all such Officers cashiered the Army predicted in Englands Birth-right and now actually demanded in many of their printed Papers but most clearly expressed in that of 7o Julii at Reading wherein the Commissioners of the Army render this as a reason why they refuse to proceed in the Treaty That notwithstanding the Votes of the House of the tenth of June and those since of the fifth of Iuly for the present purging of the House yet divers persons comprised in these Votes continue stil to sit there And what comfortable effect may we expect of a Treaty so long as THE PARLIAMENT the supream Iudicatory of the Kingdom is constituted ☞ OF SOME THAT ARE MEN OF INTERESTS CONTRARY TO THE COMMON GOOD THEREOF from whom we can expect nothing but banding and designing to obstruct and frustrate all proceedings contrary TO THEIR INTEREST And if a seasonable remedy be not given herein we despair of any good to the Kingdom by way of Treaty And when both Houses are thus fully purged That then King Charls their Prisoner whom now they flatter only for the easier accomplishment of their own ends to take off the envy and opposition of his party as some of them acknowledg in plain terms be forthwith articled against * impeached arraigned deposed executed and his posterity dis-inherited by the Parliament as the Grand Delinquent and Author of all the late Wars Mischiefs and blood-shed in his three Kingdoms And after that the Members of both Houses who have been opposite to them arraigned and condemned as breakers of trust and Invaders of the peoples Liberties and then the domineering House of Peers perpetually abolished and a new-model'd Parliament consisting meerly of Commoners elected by the Army constituted to execute only what the generallity of the Agitators and people shall prescribe them 3. That the * Assembly of Divines be immediately dissolved and impeached of high Treason Presbyteries suppressed the Directory National League and Covenant Parishes Parish Churches Chappels Tithes Oblations Ministers made by Ordination Universities and all Schools of learning except only such as teach to read English write and cypher all set forms of Prayer the Lords Prayer Creed and Ten Commandments baptizing of Infants and singing of Psalms utterly abolished as Antichristian and an Act of eternal oblivion passed against them That a full and free Liberty be granted to all persons whatsoever to preach baptize dip set up what new Congregations and Religions they please and broach any Heresie Error Blasphemy or new opinion without the least inhibition as they do now within the Armies Precincts 4. That all * Innes of Court and Chancery all Courts of Iustice now erected as wel Civil as Ecclesiastical with the Common Civil Canon and Statute Laws formerly in force and all Corporations Tenures Copyholds rents and services with all Titles and Degrees of Honor Nobility and Gentry elevating one free-subject above another may be totally abolished as clo●gs snares and grievances to a free-born people and inconsistent with that universal parity and equality of condition which ought to be among Free-men opposite to the Cōmunion of Saints 5. That all the * Lands and Estates of Deans Chapters Prebends Universities Colledges Halls Free-schools Cities Corporations Ministers Gleablands and so much of the Lands of the Nobility Gentry and rich Citizens and Yeomen as exceeds the summ of 300 l. per annum and all the Revenues of the Crown belonging to the King or his children be equally divided between the Officers and Soldiers in the Army to satisfie their Arrears and recompence their good services all the wealth of London being too little to reward them as their friends have published in Print that so the Prophecy of Daniel 7. 22. may be fulfilled Judgement is given to the Saints of the most high and the time came that the Saints possessed the Kingdom much descanted upon in the Army both by the Soldiers and their * Chaplains as now or never to be accomplished 6. That all * Reformado Officers Soldiers and Forces in or about London or elsewhere not actually under the Armies power may be immediately dispersed all listings of men but only by the Generals and Armies order prohibited under pain of high Treason the old City and Parliaments Guards removed and a New strong Guard of horse and foot presently sent from the Army to secure the City and Tower of London and the * Commons House under pretence of preventing a new War that so the Lives Liberties and Estates both of Lords Commons Citizens Gentlemen Reformadoes Soldiers and people of all sorts may be at the absolute mercy and free disposal of the Army without the least hopes of resistance or opposition till all the precedent demands be granted and accomplished and then we shal be as free a people as the slaves in Turky or Algiere When all this is effected and the Kingdom utterly exhausted with taxes and free-quarter to keep up this unmercinary and most meritorious Army who
