FAIRFAX Burie May 30. 1647. For the Honourable William Lenthal Esquire Speaker of the honourable House of Commons To his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax Knight Commander in Chiefe of the Parliaments Forces The Opinion and humble Advise of the Councell of Warre convened at Bury Saterday 29. May. 1647. In relation to the Votes of Parliament communicated to us by your Excellency and the desirs of our advice thereof Humbly Sheweth 1. THat upon the reports come to all quarters of the Army concerning the Votes and proceedings of the House May 21. As also of those on Tuesday May 25. we find the generallity of the Army as we are our selves much unsatisfied in the one and something amazed and startled at the ●ther the first Votes of Friday comming much short of satisfaction as to the grievances of the Army then reported to the House and not taking any notice at all of some that were most materiall the latter of Tuesday importing a resolution suddenly to disband the Army by peace-meale before equall satisfaction be given to the whole in any of the grievances or so much as any consideration had of some others most materiall And also before any effectuall performance of that satisfaction with the Votes of Friday seemed to promise as to some of the grievances all which we shall be readie upon a little time given us to represent to your Excellency more distinctly and in particular 2. That the said distraction and the iealousies occasioned uppon the same proceeding as we feare and some effects already appearing doe find may unhappily produce dangerous disturbances and tumultuous actings amongst severall parts of the Army as they now lie dispersed and remote from the Head quarters especially amongst those Regiments whose principall Officers by neglecting or disserting their Soldiers in in their necessary concernments or iust grievances have disobleiged their Soldiers and lost their interest with them in so much as such Officers are in some sort forced to withdraw from their charges and can scarce with safety come at them to prevent the inconveniencies or ill consequences which such disturbed or tumultuous actings might produce either to the countrys where the Army quarters or to the kingdom We humbly advise your Excellency without delay to draw the Arm or at least those parts thereof that are not fixt to certain Quarters upon particular du●y unto a closer posture of Quarters so as each Regiment Troop and Company may lye under the view and over-sight of their respective Officers that are left with them and all of them under a near●r view of and correspondencie wi●h the Head-quarter which may thus have a readier influence upon all for the better preserving of good Order and prevention of inconvenienci●s and in such posture for the Countries ease to remove and shift the whole Quarter one a week at least till up●n further sa●isfaction ●●e Army may be quie●ly and orderly disbanded 3. That upon the same dissa●i●faction and jealousies we find an extream earnestn●l and violent propers●● among the souldiers to a general Randezvorz and we veril● believe that the fi●st at●empt to d●b●nd any one Re●●ment b●fore equall satisfaction to all and assura●ce against th●se things they have cause to fear wil 〈◊〉 them all to draw together and Randezvouz of themselves as it were upon in Allarme And to prevent the into ve●●●nc●s or il consequences bo●h to these Countries and 〈◊〉 Kingdom of any such tumultuous or confused draw●ng to a Randezvouz without order we humbly advise your Excelle●cy wi●hout delay after the contracting of quarters to order a g●n●ral Randezvouze for those parts of the Army whose quar●ers shal b● so contracted And this we advise and d●sire the rather because of the scandalous suggestions of some importi●g as if the late discontents appearing in the Army and the
