CAMBRIDGE Printed for Benjamin Ridley for the use of the Army under his Excellencie Sir Thomas Fairfax Anno Dom. 1647. A MANIFESTO From his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax and the Army under his Command c. VVHereas the Right Honourable Commissioners of Parliament have desired to know from us what things we do desire to be granted before our drawing back the Quarters of the Army to a further distance from London upon the granting whereof we will ingage to draw back We do in answered thereunto humbly propose these particulars following as what are of present necessity to us and we do desire at present to be granted in order to the Armies and Kingdomes present safety in the further debate transaction and settlement of those other things contained in our former representations and Papers which will require and may admit more time Vpon the granting of which things we shall willingly draw back as is desired to have those other matters debated and transacted at a further distance with deliberation answerable to the nature and weight of them I. That the Parliament would be pleased to recall the Declaration inviting men to desert the Army and promising their Arriers in case they do so and to declare for future that whoever shall desert their Cullors or charges in the Army without the Generalls particular licence and dise●arge shall not have any of their Arriers payd them II. That the Army may be payd up equally to those that have deserted it This we desire may be immediately granted or resolved before we draw back and to be performed at least to the private Souldiers fully and sin part to the Officers withall speede convenient III. That those that have deserted the Army may be instantly discharged and dispersed and receive no more of their Arriers till the Army be first satisfied IV. That both Parliament and City may be speedily and effectually freed from the multitude of reformad●es and other Souldiers before mentioned that flock together in or about London by a speedy dispatch and discharging of them from the City V. That all such listings and raisings of new forces or drawing together of any as in our Remonstrance all our papers are exprest and all preparations towards a new warre may be effectually declared against and supprest as also all invitations endeavours to draw in forraigne forces either from Scotland or other forraigne parts VI. That the continuation of the Army in the pay of the State for some competent time while the matter in debate relating both to the Army and Kingdome may be concluded and setled be at present ordered and declared for before our drawing back and the same with all speed to be effectually put into one established way that the Army may be enabled to pay Quatters for the ease of the countrey where it must lie and the Souldiery the better kept from abuse to the Countrey and reduced to that good order and discipline which hath formerly been happily kept in this Army though of late through want of pay and other justdiscon●ents which the late provocations put upon them unhapilie interrupted VII That during the same space the Parliament would resolve not to propose any place for His Majesties residence nearer to London then they will allow the quarters of the Army to be NOw for our former desire of present suspending the impeached Members from sitting in the House I. Whereas we understand the House hath voted that it doth not appeare that any thing hath been sayd or done by them within the House touching any Matter contained in the Papers from the Army for which the House can in Justice suspend them though if way were given and opened without breach of priviledge for us to charge them with and for others to be examined freely to testifie unto such things we should not doubt to make such proceedings and practices of theirs in the House to appear for which according to former Presidents they justly might and ought to be suspended yet wee are so tender of priviledges of Parliament as that we shall at present forbeare to reply or presse further upon that point for the houses proceedings therein upon their own cognizance 2. Whereas the house of Commons hath voted that by the Lawes of the Land no Judgment can bee given to suspend those Members from si●●ing in the house upon the papers presented by the Army before particulars produced and proofes made though we thinke good reasons may be given and presidents found to the contrary even in the proceedings of this Parliament as in the case of the Earl of Strafford the Arch-bishop of Canterbury the L. Keeper Finch and others Yet we do declare that wee have both particulars and proofes against them ready to produce but considering that the procedings thereupon wil probably take up much time And the present unsetled affaires of the Kingdome in relation to these greater matters proposed by us do require a speedy consideration We shall be willing that those greater and more generall matters of the Kingdome be first considered of setled before the Censure of those Members be determined And therefore because they may apprehend it some prejudice to them to have their particular Charges given in and lye upon the 〈◊〉 long undetermided we shal b●e willing to forbea● the giving in of the particulars against them till they may without interruption to the generall affaires be immediatly proceeded upon But if the house doe thinke fit the particulars against them bee first delivered in we shall be ready to do it 3. Whereas we understand that the Members charged have desired leave from the houses to withdraw themselves We cannot but take notice of the modesty thereof so farre as that we are contented therewith for the present more quiet proceeding to settle the perplexed affairs of the Kingdome which without any private animosities against persons is our greatest end in what we doe only wee declare that as wee suppose the Gentlemen themselves from the same grounds that induced them to offer this will still forbear to offer the contra●● till the matters concerning them be heard and determined or to make any new interruption or disturbance to the proceeding upon or setlement of the generall 〈◊〉 of the Kingdom So we hope and shall confidently expect that the wisdome and justice of the house will not 〈◊〉 any thing to the contrary or leave it to an hazard thereof ●ut will use sufficient care and caution against such things for the bringing of those Members to tryall when the House shall judge it more seasonable and safe as before exprest By the appointment of His Excellency Sir THOMAS FAIRFAX and His COUNCEL OF WARRE Signed JOHN RUSHWORTH Secr.
