For the Honoured Robert Scowen Esq in the Chaire of the Committee for the Army To His Excellency Thomas Lord Fairfax Generall of all Forces raised by the Parliament in the Kingdome of England and Dominion of Wales The humble Petition of the Officers and Souldiers in Gol. Fleetwoods Col. Whalies and Col. Barksteads Regiaments under your Excellencies Command Sheweth THat through the blessing of God upon the Army under your Excellencies Conduct the enemies of this Nations Peace and Freedom have been twice subdued That as we ingaged in Judgment and Conscience against them to preserve this Nation from slavery so we hope the Parliament by whom we were invited to ingage would have executed Justice upon the publike and grand Enemies thereof and immediately have setled a just Government under which every mans freedom right propriety might have been preserved That your Petitioners had some hope of that happy fruit of their labours hazard and expence of blood when the Parliament voted no more addresses to the King and hereupon your Excellency and your Petitioners did testifie their approbation of those Votes and did ingage to adhere and stand by them in the settlment of the Nation without against the King or any other that should partake with him your Excellency your Petitioners received the thanke of both Houses for the same That notwithstanding a bloody War hath been since raised by the Prince his Commission a forraigne Nation invited to which did invade us and as there is ground to beleeve by the Kings consent thereby to inflave us to his exorbitant will and lust Yet when through the great mercy and favour of God all their forces were supprest instead of having our expectations answered as to a just settlement we find That the wicked and bloody designes of the Enemies of this kingdome still continue As of that of Ireland by Ormond and that at home threatning the lives of every wel-affected person And this we humbly conceive they are the more imboldned unto because of the prevalency of some in greatest Authority that will let no Justice be don upon the grand fomentors contrivers and actors in the first and late Warre So that the Innocent blood of many of our dear friends that hath been spilt the rapines robberies burning and spoiling many welaffected towns and persons of all livelihood is forgotten just Government subverted and such petitions tending to a setling of a just equall Government as that of the 12 of Septem last from the Cities of London and Westminster sleighted the intolerable burthen of free Quarter still continued no redresse of publick grievances by reason of which the implacable malice of our twice conquered Enemies seems to steal credit in the hearts of many whose weaknes hinders them from discerning their evill ends so that their bloody intentions against the well-affected in this Nation doth begin to manifest it selfe both against Parliament men and the Army as is apparent by that most desperate and inhumain murthering of Col. Rainsborough That we conceive your Excellency and the Army next under God are the only Bar that lyeth in their way hindring the accomplishing of their ends so their main design is how to destroy you and it And that they endeavour by continuing us on free quarter yet providing Ordinances against it and Instructions to enter into no mans house except Innes Ale-houses Taverns against their wills which was by us joyfully excepted that thereby the Country might be eased of that devouring Creature Free-Quarter yet when the Army was thus quartered for the ease of the Country we were content to make hard shift to maintaine our selves out of our pay though it was small 2 s. per diem for horse and 8 d. for foot but that through the subtilty of our Enemies hath been kept from us we having not received any pay in six months together So that we must either starve and lye in the
