that_o to_o the_o lord_n majo●_z and_o common_a council_n wherein_o the_o ill_a consequence_n both_o of_o the_o wilful_a neglect_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o of_o the_o army_n withdraw_v to_o a_o

with_o what_o safety_n or_o freedom_n the_o parliament_n can_v sit_v long_o at_o westminster_n especial_o when_o we_o find_v the_o common_a council_n through_o the_o parliament_n and_o army_n lenity_n

unless_o the_o house_n by_o some_o exclusive_a resolution_n and_o proceed_n do_v timely_o prevent_v the_o same_o we_o hope_v therefore_o the_o parl._n will_v weigh_v these_o thing_n and_o speedy_o ere_o it_o be_v too_o late_a consult_v at_o least_o their_o own_o safety_n and_o the_o kindom_n if_o not_o we_o and_o the_o army_n their_o poor_a servant_n and_o something_o concern_v with_o they_o especial_o in_o that_o affair_n next_o we_o again_o more_o importunate_o desire_v that_o those_o other_o so_o near_a concernment_n of_o the_o soldiery_n express_v in_o the_o general_n late_a remonstrance_n at_o the_o rendezvouz_n may_v be_v speedy_o consider_v and_o full_o and_o effectual_o provide_v for_o in_o order_n to_o which_o we_o shall_v here_o more_o particular_o propound_v as_o

we_o desire_v that_o may_v be_v alter_v so_o as_o to_o be_v two_o three_o of_o the_o land_n or_o composition_n of_o all_o the_o delinquent_n that_o have_v not_o yet_o compound_v and_o next_o we_o must_v desire_v that_o dean_n and_o chapter_n land_n may_v be_v add_v with_o proviso_n for_o reasonable_a satisfaction_n or_o maintenance_n to_o such_o person_n as_o have_v a_o present_a lawful_a interest_n in_o any_o the_o revenue_n thereunto_o belong_v have_v not_o forfeit_v the_o same_o by_o delinquency_n these_o addition_n be_v desire_v because_o the_o security_n as_o yet_o vote_v be_v just_o estimate_v not_o to_o be_v sufficient_a and_o since_o all_o that_o be_v propound_v be_v but_o for_o security_n if_o the_o security_n prove_v to_o exceed_v the_o arrear_n real_o due_a the_o

ease_n of_o all_o that_o either_o under_o the_o grand_a committee_n for_o indemnity_n or_o otherwise_o by_o the_o immediate_a appointment_n of_o parliament_n there_o may_v be_v commissioner_n in_o

the_o parliament_n in_o the_o late_a war_n for_o which_o purpose_n we_o shall_v if_o admit_v offer_v name_n and_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o severe_a penalty_n lay_v upon_o judge_n or_o other_o officer_n of_o justice_n in_o case_n they_o shall_v proceed_v against_o any_o contrary_a to_o the_o ordinance_n for_o indemnity_n three_o that_o sufficient_a provision_n be_v make_v in_o a_o certain_a

the_o life_n of_o the_o maim_a and_o widow_n and_o during_o the_o minority_n of_o their_o o●phans_n and_o that_o the_o same_o commissioner_n to_o be_v appoint_v in_o each_o county_n for_o indemnity_n as_o aforesaid_a or_o other_o in_o like_o manner_n mix_v may_v be_v impower_v for_o this_o purpose_n also_o and_o in_o case_n of_o the_o death_n of_o any_o such_o commissioner_n or_o their_o
