A85037 Two letters of His Excellencie Sir Thomas Fairfax, sent to both Houses of Parliament; with the humble advice of the Councel of Warre (held at St. Edmunds Bury in Suffolke, Satterday 29. May, 1647.) upon the votes of both Houses, sent to the army for their disbanding. Also, the petition of the private souldierie of the army, both horse and foot, presented (to His Excellencie at the same Councell of Warre) by their several adjutators: with the names of the officers that were then present. Published at the instant desire of the army, to prevent mis-understandings, and to set forth their candid desire of the peace, and welfare of the Parliament, and this kingdome; as also, concerning the reliefe of Ireland. Fairfax, Thomas Fairfax, Baron, 1612-1671.; England and Wales. Army. 1647 (1647) Wing F248; Thomason E391_2; ESTC R201546 5,766 12
