That the Parl. intend not really to settle religion according to the Word of God and the Solemn League Covenant not the execution of justice upon delinquents but what they do therein ariseth more out of the severall exigents they are brought into then out of a love and liking of the things themselves full resolutions to maintain them 2. That they intend to alter the ancient and fundamentall Government of this Kingdom by King Lords and Commons 3. That they intend not only the necessary continuance of the Army at present and to make use thereof for subduing the common enemy and quieting the distempers of the Kingdom but to govern the Kingdom by an Army to be perpetually maintained to that end and consequently the continuing of Excise and Taxations 4. That they intend not really to make a Peace with the King though they might have it with safetie and securitie to Religion Law and libertie For Remedy whereof it is earnestly desired 1. That the Parl. would please fullie and effectuallie to declare their sincere resolutions to perfect the work of Reformation according to the Word of God the Solemn League and Covenant with execution of justice upon Delinquents and their resolutions to remain stedfast and unmoveable herein notwithstanding any pressure of a Popish and P●elatick party and the influence of any other party or forces whatsoever 2. That they publish to the Kingdom their resolutions not to alter the Government thereof by King Lords and Commons 3. That the Parl. will proceed with all clearnesse and possible speed to obtain a Peace upon tearmes that are secure for Religion Law and liberty and for those that have adventured their lives and estates for the Parliament for that end that the Treaty the Houses have resolved upon at the Isle of Wight or shall resolve upon at any other place may be so managed that it may be a reall demonstration to the Kingdom that as the Parl. will not recede from the grounds of their cause so there shall be no other just cause given by delay or obstruction to a wel grounded peace on their parts That upon such a settle ment care may be is taken of easing the people of the burden of Armies and taxations and incouragement given to advance trade 〈…〉 conc●●ning the City 1. That they seeme to receede from their former principles upon which they have engaged with the Parl. in their earnest pressing the Parl. for peace for a Personall Treaty and the Kings comming to London without the like expressions of their zeal for the reformation of religion freedom of Parl. and liberty of the subj●ct to be provided for in that Treaty and secured in the se●tlement of peace 2. That the former readines of the City to discover the secret plots of the malignant party and to oppose them when they are discovered both in the city country seemeth to be much abated that the listing of soldiers and preparation of Arms by many in the City and out-parts for the late insurrections in the Counties adjacent withholding their contribution from those that should oppose them which raises a jealousie of the Cities affections to the Parliament For remedy whereof it is desired That the Parl. would recommend it to the City that they do declare that as they have earnestly desired a treaty with the King for peace so they are resolved to assist the Parl. with their lives and estates to obtain safe concessions for the preservation of Religion Law and liberties and that they declare their dislike detestation of the late Tumults in the City and insurrections in the Counties and their readines to assist the Parliament The discontents and jealousies of the Army 1. From their aversness to the settlement of Religion in doctrin worship Discipline and Goverment according to the word of God and the solemne league and Covenant And their covntinancing by their power multitudes of persons of unsound judgments and those opposite to such a settlement 2. Their not submitting formerly to the Parliaments commands and intermedling with the transactions of State and their disaffection to the City of London both Ministers and people wel-affected who have been faithfull to the cause and stand for Reformation 3. That if by the assistance of the persons and the estats of the wel-affected they should be enabled to overcome the present insurrections Armies raised against it they would turn their successe to the advancment of their own private power and ends For R●medy whereof It is desired that the Parliament would recommend it to the Generall Commanders and Officers of the Army that they do declare their Resolutions to submit to what they shall do in the establishing of Religion the settlement of the Peace of the Kingdom the preservation of the fundamentall government thereof and that they declare an amicable respect and agreement with the City of London and that when the Parliament in their wisdom shall think fit to lessen or disband the Army that they accordingly yeild obedience 31.
