Fairfax, in∣timating, the present proceedings of the Army and how that severall Petitions are promoting amongst the sol∣diery, purporting the great difficulties which they had undergone this Summer, in subduing their enemies, and received very little pay, yet understood taxes were ge∣nerally paid, desiring that the Army be divided into the Counties proportionable to the tax they pay, and also that their Arreas may be thought of, especially the last. Upon reading the said Letter, the Commons spent much time in debate thereof, and came to this result.
Resolved, &c. That the desires of the Souldiery be forth∣with satisfied, and that speedy care be taken for setling their Arrears.
