PROPOSALLS Of his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax AND The Generall Councell of the ARMIE Held at Windsore Decemb. 23. 1647. UPON The late Resolutions in Parliament for bringing in the six Moneths Arreares of Assessements by the 15. of January next and for the taking off Free Quarter and Disbanding Also some particular exceptions against the Billetting of Souldiers onely in Innes Tavernes and Ale-houses with their Desires thereupon Presented to both Houses of Parliament by Colonell Sir Hardresse Waller Friday Decemb. 24. 1647. With a Letter from his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax to the honourable William Lenthall Esquire Speaker of the House of COMMONS BY the Appointment of his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax and the Generall Councell of the Army Jo. Rushworth Secretary London Printed by Robert Austin 1646. Mr. Speaker AT a Generall Councell of the Army this day held the inclosed Particulars were agreed upon to be represented to the Parliament which I humbly desire may be taken into consideration and remaine Your humble Servant Thomas Fairfax Windsore 23. Decemb. 1647. For the honourable William Lenthall Esquire Speaker of the honourable House of Commons Proposalls of his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax and the generall Councel of the Army Held at Windsore Decemb. 23. 1647. Presented to both Houses of Parliament by Colonell Sir Hardresse Waller 24. Decemb. 1647. UPon the late Resolutions in Parliament concerning the taking away of Free-Quarter and disbanding supernumeraries we find divers things which require a further consideration in order to the more secure and effectuall dispatch of that worke wherein we shall shortly offer our humble Advise and desires But at present we find an immediate necessity to take notice of what hath past on Tuesday last the 21. instant in an Ordinance prepared for the bringing in of six moneths Arreares of Assessement by the 15. of January next and for the taking away of Free Quarter thereupon wherein we observe 1. It is provided and ordained That no Officer or Souldier shall enter into the House of any person or persons who shall duly pay their Assessement without his consent except Innes Tavernes Victualling-Houses or Ale-Houses 2. Nor shall take away Victualls or other provisions for Horse or Man without consent of the owner and due satisfaction given to him for the same As to the first of these wee must desire the Houses to consider That if the Souldiery must not have so much as Lodging or Stable room but at Innes and Ale-Houses without the owners consent it will follow 1. That is like to fall out oft-times and in many Townes that there will be more Men or Horse to Quarter then the Innes or Ale-Houses have roome for 2. That Souldiers must either pay for their victuall and horse meat at such rates as the Innes where they quarter will reckon as to other guests or else give large satisfaction to the Inne-keeper for their lodging and stable roome so as they may have liberty to take their victuall and horsemeat at other places where they can agree for it cheaper otherwise an Inne-keeper where the lodging or stable-roome is taken up by Souldiers will lose the whole benefit of his Inne which is his livelihood And if the souldier either must pay the Inne-keeper at the rates of other guests or satisfie him for his lodging and stable-roome at such rates as to countervaile his ordinarie gaine It is most evident that the Souldiers whole pay nor scarce the double of it would not satisfie at such rates and unlesse either the pay or way of Quarter bee such as that the Souldier may above the charge of his victuall or Horse-meat save something for other uses wee believe few Souldiers will bee found to serve that intend to be honest And we feare the Souldiery that shall consider the consequences of these limitatitions of Quarter may be too apt to mis-understand it as if those that shall not have the benefit of disbanding now as Supernumeraries should be left to be worse then disbanded even to be necessitated to a sudden dissolution without any benefit of Conditions at all For our parts if it be found that the safety and quiet of the Kingdome will admit it we shall be as readie to disband all as any but whilest the Parliament finds cause to continue any Forces in the Kingdome wee must earnestly desire they may have that allowance of necessarie billet which is allowed in all Nations where any Souldiers are kept and particularly that they may still be allowed lodging and stable-roome at such houses where they shall by order be duly and equally billetted To the second particular in the Ordinance aforementioned we are well satisfied and presume all Souldiers will be content when they shall be duly supplied with pay in hand wherewithall to pay for their victualls and horse-meat at such rates as they can agree upon only we must desire these cases may be provided for 1. That for the first fortnight after the Souldiery shall bee drawne into Townes and Garrisons and untill the Parliament shall there supply them with pay as in our late Propositions to the Commissioners they may have horse meat and mans meat at the places where they shall be billetted at the rates allowed for the Army which the Officers are to undertake to see paid 2. That upon all occasions of Marching where any Souldiers shall by Order be billeted not lying above two nights at a place they may have their dyet at the same rates and Horse meat also if the Land-Lord have it of his owne By the appointment of his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax and the Generall Councell of the Army Jo.
