His Excellencies Answer to the said Declaration and Proposals My Lord and Gentlemen I Have perused your paper and I find the point of security hath much troubled you and us whereby we are yet without our money and necessities daily grow upon us To prevent which and to make things cleer which I do not conceive your papers do I desire that you will within 14. daye or sooner if you please cause all the money charged upon the City of London for the Army until the 25. of March next and in arrear This being done I shal both repay the Money from VVeavers Hall and withdraw all the Forces from the City the continuance of which in the City in the mean time wil I conceive facilitate your work in collecting your said monies Subscribed T. FAIRFAX The Lord Generals Declaratson to the City My Lord HAving sent so often to you for the arreares due from the City and desired sums of money to be advanced by you far short of the sums due from you yet I have been delayed and denied to the hazard of the army and the prejudice of others in the Suburbs upon whom they are quartered wherefore I thought fit to send to seize the said Tresuries and to send some forces into the City to quarter there untill I may be satisfied the Arrears due unto the Army and if this seem strange unto you 't is no lesse then that our forces have been ordered to do by the Parl. in the severall Counties of the Kingdome where assesments have not bin paid and there to continue untill they have bin paid and here give me leave to tell you the Counties of the kingdom have born free quarter and that in a great measure for want of your paying your Arrears equally with them wherfore these wayes if they dislike you yet they are meerly long of your selves and are of as great regret to me and to the Army as your selves we wishing not only the good and prosperity of your City but that things may be so carried towards you as may give no cause of jealousie I thought fit to let you know that if you shall take a speedy course to supply us with 40000. l. forthwith according to my former Desire and provide speedily what also is in Arrear I shall not only cause the monies in the Treasuries to bee not made use of but leave them to be disposed of as right they might and also cause my Forces to be withdrawn from being in any sort troublesome or chargable to the City And let the world iudge whether this be not just and equal dealing with you I rest My Lord Your affectionate servant T.

Browne now Sheriff of London with the said impeached members and others the Scots were invited and drawn in to invade this Kingdom the last Summer insomuch as when upon the actuall Invasion the House proceeded to declare them enemies and those that adhered to them traytors yet the said confederates and other treacherous members to the number of ninety and odd as upon the division of the House appeared did by their Councels and Votes endeavour to hinder the house from declaring against their confederate invaeers We desire that the said M. G. Brown may bee also secured and brought to judgment and that the rest of the ninety and odd persons dissenting in the said vote may bee excluded the house and not trusted further in your Councels That whereas in a continued Series of your proceedings for many moneths together we have seen the prevalence of the same treacherous corupt and divided councels through factions and private interests and in their late Votes declaring the Kings past concessions to be a ground for the house to proceed upon for the settlement of the peace of t●e kingdom notwithstanding the visible insufficiency and defects of them in things essentially concerning the publike interest liberties of the Kingdome That such as by faithfulnesse have retained their trust being set in a condition to pursue and perform the same without such interruptions diversions and depravations of councels as formerly We shall desire and hope you will speedily nnd vigorously proceed 1 To take order for the execution of Justice 2 To set a short period to your own power 3 To provide for a speedy succession of equall Representatives according to our late Remonstrance wherein differences in the kingdom may be ended and we and others may comfortably acquiese as for our parts we hereby ingage and assure you we shall By the Appointment of his Excellency the Lord Fairfax Lord General and his Generall Councel of Officers Signed JOHN RUSHWORTH Secr.
