THE DECLARATIGN Of the Earl of WARWICK Concerning the Parliament and Army WHereas both Houses of Parliament have bin pleased to intrust me with the charge of the Fleet for the preservation and safety of the place of my Nativity I shall therefore indeavour to improve that Authority committed to me with a faithfull and inviolable respect unto my duty And forasmuch that when I first undertook this great charge I was sensible how much the Cause Truth and Glory of God the settlement of my Countries peace and the preventing of the bloudy and desperate designs of the Enemies thereof depended upon the management of this expedition and how much I was obliged in Conscience and Honour to omit nothing that might have a tendency to those ends That obligation I have according to my best reason and judgment faithfully discharged and by the blessing of Heaven have received this fruit notwithstanding the many obstructions and difficulties that intervened that the honour of the Parl. by Sea is cleared the Fleet committed to my charge preserved in a condition of honour and safety the affections of the Seamen setled the design of those wicked Revolters that persidiously betrayed so considerable a part of the Kingdomes Navy broken and such as associated with them either rendered or reduced And as to the aspersion and pretended resolution of my joyning with the Prince in case an agreement be not concluded of between the King and parliament I do professe in the presence of God who knowes my heart and wayes that it never entred into my thoughts and that my soul abhors it as inconsistent inconsistent with my Duty prejudiciall to the Parliament destructive to the Kingdoms peace and unworthy of a free borne English man And therefore as I have hither to been faithfull to the Kingdom and to the Parliament where I have the honour to sit as a Peer so I do and shall scorn to sacrifice my conscience those publike and dear concernments of my Countrey wherein I have a pertion And while I have a heart and a hand I shall not faile by Gods assistance to have them on all occasions lifted up for the service of the parliament and common interests of England with my uttermost integrity and to my highest hazard Subscribed WARWICK Decemb. 13.

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 judge whether this be not just and equal dealing with you I rest My Lord Your affectionate servant T.
