A DECLARATION IN Vindication of the Officers and Souldi∣ers under the Command of Ma∣jor Generall Laughorne, from di∣vers false reports, and slanderous a∣spersions cast upon them.
FOR the clearing of our selves and the rest of the Commanders, Officers and Souldiers under the command of Major Ge∣nerall Laughorne, from such false reports and scandals as are raised upon us: And for the satisfying of the Publique, we have thought fit to declare that our intentions are reall to submit, and yeeld obedience to the Ordinance of Parliament, and his Excellen∣cies Orders thereupon for disbanding, and are resolved accordingly to disband at such time, and place as the Committees of the severall Counties shall thinke fit, and ap∣point, (so that the Forces be altogether) and on the delivering us our Debenters, and our

payment of the two Months pay compleate in the said Ordinance allowed: And notwith∣standing the scandalous reports bruted through the Counties that wee indeavoured to seize upon and imprison the persons of some of the Commissioners and Treasurers appointed for the service of disbanding. And that the Forces that are lately sent into the Garrison of Tinby are intended shall hold the said Garrison against the Parliament and his Excellency, And also that others of our for∣ces are intended to resigne Poyer in the castle of Pembrooke, we for manifestation of the truth doe further declare that it was never in our intentions to seize upon any one or more of the Commissioners or Treasurers, nor shal we ever presume to attempt it. Nei∣ther had we ever the least thought or inten∣tion to strengthen that Town of Tinby against the State, and his Excellency; But we doe engage our selves, that when and whereso∣ever the said Commissioners shall please to appoint a Randezvous for the disbanding the Forces together, That the Souldiers that are now in Tinby, shall likewise appeare be∣fore them to disband.

And for Collonell Poyer, we declare our selves innocent of his actions, as may appear by our former desires to his Excellency, for power to reduce him to the obedience of the Parliament.
