Twelve Plain PROPOSALS Offered to the Honest and Faithful OFFICERS and SOVLDIERS of our English ARMY COnsider Sirs I beseech you that nothing can keep off Kingship and prevent your and our destruction through the prevailing power of a single Person assisted by a disaffected Party in the Camp City Court and Country but 1. That you remember from whence you are fallen and do your first works return and stand to or fall with the Good Old Cause of God and your Countrey 2. That without delay you speedily purge the Army of all self-designers how great soever and introduce in their steads such as have faithfully served and suffered for what you fought 3. Commit the Conduct of the Army to five or seven persons who throughout your late Declensions have stood untainted in their integrity 4. Recal for the prosecution of what is proposed that Parliament who changed the Government from Kingly to a Commonwealth and whom the late Protector interrupted April 20 1653. 5. Enter into a solemn Engagement with all your Civil and Christian Friends for defence of your Country and its Cause with the hazard of your Lives and Estates 6.

Securing of Garisons and Cinque-Ports within the three Nations and 4. that endeavours may be used to beget a right understanding betwixt all their Forces by sea land 7. Consider that heavy work is made light by active and orderly endeavours for secrecy and celerity are the wheels of the greatest Actions 8. Consider that Treachery when withstood turns Coward and when feared becomes the most cruel Tyrant 9. Consider that Court-Dyals are gazed on by all in the day or whilst the Sun shines but by none in the night 10. Fear them not whose courage is cowed by their Consciences 11. Be not dellatory but active and industrious in doing your duties and casting off those loose corns which will rather interrupt then reform and travail in your Good Old Cause without tyring and let your Courage assist your Swords to cut through all difficulties 12. Consider that if providence should oppose you as there is no ground to believe it will in this cause yet by living or dying in its defence you will have fortified your Memories against all events for whilst you are your Countries Martyrs it will to eternitie remain your most memorable Monument Now thus resolved fear no over-match in multitudes where God the great Master of Miracles whom you have often tryed in the mount of extremities is on your side he will turn your enemies Arms into Legs and their Heads into Heeles however it is better to dye of the Remedy then the Disease London Printed by J.
